GB Safety tips • Warning! In order to avoid any type of flame, only use the microwave when you are there to supervise. Very high power levels or very long cooking times may heat the food to excess and cause fires. • If you see smoke or fire, keep the door closed, to put out the flames. Switch off the appliance and remove the plug from the socket.

This may result in overload, if there is no food inside. • Only use microwave-safe dishes. • Do not keep any inflammable object inside the oven, because it may go on fire when the oven is switched on. • Eggs with shells and whole boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens because they may explode.

GB Advantages of the microwave oven In a conventional cooker, the heat that is radiated through the resistances or gas burners slowly penetrates the foods from the outside in. Therefore, there is a great loss of energy in heating the air, the oven components and the containers holding the food. In the microwave, the heat is generated by the foods themselves, i.e. the heat goes from the inside out.
GB Instructions for use Warning! Never use the microwave when it is empty, i.e. when it does not contain any food. Look at the diagram and proceed as follows: 1. Plug the appliance into an appropriate electrical socket (see tips on the last page). 2. To open the door, press the OPEN BUTTON. The inside lighting of the microwave comes on. 3. Place the container with the food on the plate or on the grille. 4.
GB Function: Grill Set the function selector to the appropriate position . The oven has a temperature limiting device that controls the electrical resistances, connecting and disconnecting them to keep the temperature within certain limits. We recommend that the grille be used to bring the foods closer to the grill and thus obtain better results.
GB During operation... It is possible to change the operating time, the power level or the function while the oven is functioning, by turning the respective control. It is possible to open the door of the oven at any moment while the foods are being cooked. In this case: • THE PRODUCTION OF MICROWAVES IS AUTOMATICALLY INTERRUPTED; • The grill switches off, but remains very hot; • The timer stops automatically, indicating the operating time that is left. If you wish, you may: 1.
GB Defrosting The following table is a general guideline for the various defrosting and resting times required (to guarantee that the food reaches a uniform temperature) according to the type and weight of the foods. It also contains the respective recommendations for defrosting different foods.
GB Defrosting General tips for defrosting 1. Only use microwave-safe dishes for defrosting (porcelain, glass, suitable plastic). 8. Place poultry on a turn over plate so that the juices may drain more easily. 2. The tables refer to defrosting of raw foods. 9. Bread should be wrapped in a napkin so that it does not get too dry. 3. The defrosting time depends on the quantity and the height of the food. When freezing foods, prepare for the defrosting process.
GB Cooking with microwaves Before using a container, check if it is suitable for using in a microwave oven (see: “What kind of containers may be used?”). 2. The lower the temperature, the longer the cooking time. Cut the food before starting to prepare it. 4. Proper distribution of the food on the rotating plate facilitates uniform cooking.
GB Cooking with microwaves Important tips! • Eggs with shells and whole eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens as they may explode. • Before heating or cooking foods with shells or skin (e.g., apples, tomatoes, potatoes, sausages) prick them with a fork so that they do not open up. • When foods are prepared with very little humidity (e.g. defrosting bread, making popcorn, etc.), the humidity evaporates very fast. The appliance then functions with a vacuum and the food may be carbonised.

Glassware and ceramic with metallic decorations or parts (e.g. lead glass) may not be used.

GB Cleaning and care BEFORE CLEANING the microwave, ENSURE THAT THE PLUG IS NOT IN THE SOCKET. After using the appliance, let it cool off. Do not clean the appliance with abrasive cleaning products, scourers that will scratch the surface or sharp objects. Outer surface: 1. Clean the outer surface with a neutral detergent, lukewarm water and a damp cloth. 2. Do not allow water to pass through the outer structure. 4. Clean accessories after each use.
GB Troubleshooting The appliance does not function properly: • Is the power plug correctly inserted in the socket? • Is the door properly closed? The door should make an audible click when it closes. • Are there any foreign bodies between the door and the ring? The inside lighting does not come on: • If all of the functions are operating correctly, the bulb is probably blown. You may continue to use the appliance. • The light bulb may only be replaced by the Technical Support Service.
