Installation Instructions Remove oven from packing Remove all packing materials and accessories from the oven cavity. Check whether the following parts are in good condition: - door and hinges; - front of the oven; - inside and outside of oven. Should you find any faults DO NOT USE THE OVEN, and contact your dealer. Place the oven on a flat stable surface able to support its weight. Leave an empty space of about 15cm above the upper surface of the oven.
Important Information WARNING: If the door or the door hinges are damaged, the oven should not be switched on until repaired by a qualified technician. WARNING: It is dangerous for anyone, except a qualified technician, to tamper with the apparatus or try to repair it in any way by removing any lid or covering which assures protection against the exposure to microwave energy. WARNING: Liquids and other food should not be heated in airtight recipients as these can explode.
Eggs without their shell and whole boiled eggs shouldn’t be warmed up in microwave ovens as they may explode. Do not use any metal utensils inside the oven unless they were supplied with the oven and for that purpose. Do not warm up liquids or other food in closed recipients as they may explode. Do not warm up pure alcohol or alcoholic drinks. DANGER OF FIRE. When in doubt, choose short periods to cook, heat or defrost food with microwaves.
Description of the Microwave Oven The advantages of a microwave oven: In a conventional oven the heat radiated by the resistances or gas burners, slowly penetrates the food from the outside to the inside. There is, therefore, a great loss of energy in the heating of the air, oven components and recipients. On the other hand, in microwave ovens the heat is generated in the interior of the food itself, heating it from the inside outwards.
How the microwave oven works In the microwave oven there is a high voltage valve called "Magnetron" that converts electric energy to microwave energy. These electromagnetic waves are conducted to the inside of the oven cavity by means of wave-guide and spread by a mode stirrer or by a turntable. Inside the oven the microwaves spread out in all directions and are reflected by the metallic walls, penetrating the food evenly.
The microwaves travel through porcelain, glass, cardboard or plastic but not through metal. Therefore, recipients made of or containing metal should not be used in the microwave oven. The microwaves are reflected by the metal They travel through glass, porcelain… They are absorbed by the food.
Operating Instruction See picture in enclosed leaflet and do as follows: 1. Plug the microwave oven into a suitable outlet (see installation instructions). 2. Open the door by pressing the Door Open Button (7). In models without this button, you need only pull the door. The oven light should switch on. 3. Place food in a dish on the tray or on the grill rack. 4. Select function and cooking time according to the following chapters. 5. Shut the door. Models with Start Button (6), press this button. 6.
Grill Function Set Function Selector (3) in position K. The oven has a temperature limit which controls the electric resistances by switching them on and off within certain limits. It is advisable to use the grill rack to bring the food closer to the grill and to obtain better results. Microwave and Grill function Set Function Selector (3) in position corresponding to the required power level in agreement with the following table.
Functioning Time Desired functioning time is selected by rotating the Timer Button (5). For periods shorter than 2 minutes adjust the timer to a higher position and then back to the required time. Whenever the timer is in a position other than zero then the oven light should switch on. When the time is up, the timer will emit a sound signal and oven will automatically be switched off. While Working ...
CAUTION: at the end of the cooking process turn the Timer Button (5) to zero, otherwise the oven will start when the door is closed. Note: 1. To stop the oven before the programmed time, rotate the Timer Button (5) to zero or open the door. 2. While the oven is working, you may change the timer, the power level or the function, by rotating the respective buttons.
Advice for Good Usage of the Oven Working with microwaves Before using any dish, make sure that it is appropriate for use in microwaves (SEE ADVICE ON THE USE OF UTENSILS AND RECIPIENTS). Always make a slit in the food's shell before cooking it. Whenever heating liquids use a recipient with a large opening to allow the vapour to escape. Remember that: 1. Larger quantities of food require more cooking time. 2. The lower the food temperature the more cooking time is needed. 3. Less dense foods cook faster. 4.
Functioning of the grill (only in models with grill) The glass on the door reaches high temperatures during grilling. Therefore the oven should be installed at least 80 cm above the floor, SO AS TO BE OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. While in operation, the inside walls of the oven and the grill become very hot, therefore the use of kitchen gloves is recommended. For best results of the grill, use the grill rack supplied with the appliance.
Advice on the use of Cookware Metal Do not use metal dishes, tinned food, food wrapped in tin foil and cutlery inside the microwave oven. The metal reflects the microwaves and food is not heated. The food should be removed from its tin foil containers and placed in dishes that are appropriate for use in the microwave oven. As microwaves don't penetrate tin foil, the food heats only on the surface. By using appropriate dishes, the heat is evenly distributed throughout the food.
Glazed Ceramic Dishes This type of dish may heat considerably. Painted glazed ceramic dishes may be used if the painting is done under the glaze. Many glazes and colours contain metallic substances. If this is the case they should not be used in the microwave as they may be damaged. Recipients with silver and gold glazes may go dark. Plastic Plastic dishes should be heat resistant (at least 180° C) or they may be deformed when used in the microwave.
Recipient Test If in doubt about the use of glass, glazed ceramic or porcelain dishes in the microwave oven, do the following test: 1. Place the empty dish and a glass of water inside the microwave oven; 2. Close the door; 3. Set the Power Level Selector at maximum power; 4. Adjust the timer to 1 minute; Note: the oven starts If during this test you hear any noise along with sparks, turn off the oven immediately.
Lids The use of glass lids, plastic lids or plastic film is advisable because: 1. They prevent the release of excessive vapours especially when cooking for longer periods. 2. They increase the speed of heating food. 3. They prevent the food from drying up. 4. They prevent the loss of the food aroma. The lids should have holes to avoid pressure. Plastic film should be perforated. Baby bottles, baby food jars and other similar recipients should be warmed up without lids as they can burst.
Oven Maintenance Cleaning MAKE SURE THAT THE OVEN IS UNPLUGGED BEFORE CLEANING THE OVEN. DON'T USE ABRASIVE CLEANING PRODUCTS. OUTSIDE 1. Clean the outside surface with a neutral detergent, warm water and dry it with a damp cloth. 2. Avoid water from entering the oven ventilation holes. INSIDE 1. Clean the oven walls with a damp cloth after each use. 2. Avoid water from entering the ventilation holes in the oven's interior. 3.
Light Replacement In some models the light may be replaced by the user. These ovens have a lid on the left-hand side. To replace the light, do as follows: 1. Unplug the oven; 2. Remove the lid from the light compartment; 3. Replace the light bulb for a new one (25 W); 4. Replace the lid. WARNING: in the models without the lid to replace the light bulb, this should be done by the Technical Assistance Service because special tools are required.
Official Technical Assistance Service (T.A.S.) Solving Problems Repairs or interventions carried out by an unqualified serviceman can cause dangerous situations. Every and any kind of repair or intervention should be done by the manufacturer, authorised agents or qualified technicians. If you detect any abnormalities in the oven, check the following before you contact T.A.S: 1. Check if the outlet into which the oven is plugged has power.
