Microwave safety

Warning! Never leave the oven

unwatched, especially when using paper,

plastic or other combustible materials.

These materials can char and may fire.

FIRE RISK!

Warning! Do not heat pure alcohol or

alcoholic drinks in the microwave. FIRE

RISK!

Warning! Do not heat liquids or other

foods in closed containers since these

may explode readily.

Warning! This appliance is not intended

for use by persons (including children)

with reduced physical, sensory or mental

capabilities, or lack of experience and

knowledge, unless they have been given

supervision or instruction concerning use

of the appliance by a person responsible

for their safety. Children should be

supervised to ensure that they do not

play with the appliance.

Warning! If the oven has a combined

function mode (microwave with other

means of heating), children should not be

allowed to use the oven without adult

supervision on account of the high

temperatures generated.

Warning! The oven cannot be used if:

- The door is not closed correctly;

- The door hinges are damaged;

- The surfaces of the contact between the

door and the oven front are damaged;

- The door window glass is damaged;

- There is frequent electrical arcing inside

the oven even though there is no metal

object inside.

The oven can only be used again after

it has been repaired by a Technical

Assistance Service technician.

Beware!

Never heat baby foods or drinks in

bottles or jars with the teats or lids on

them. After heating the food mix or shake

well so that the heat is spread evenly.

Check the food temperature before

feeding this to the child. DANGER OF

BURNING!

To avoid food overheating or burning it is

very important not to select long time

periods or power levels that are too high

when heating small quantities of food.

For example, a bread roll can burn after

3 minutes if the power selected is too

high.

For toasting, use just the grilling function

and watch the oven all the time. It you

use a combined function to toast bread it

will catch fire in a very short time.

Make sure you never catch the power

cables of other electrical appliances in

the hot door or the oven. The cable

insulation may melt. Danger of short-

circuiting!

USA

Microwave safety

This oven is exclusively for domestic use!

Use the oven only for preparing meals.

Avoid damaging the oven or other

dangerous situations by following these

instructions:

Do not switch on the oven without the

turntable support, the turntable ring and

the respective plate being in place.

Never switch on the microwave when it

is empty. If there is no food inside there

may be an electrical overcharge and the

oven could be damaged. RISK OF

DAMAGE!

For carrying out oven programming

tests put a glass of water inside the oven.

The water will absorb the microwaves and

the oven will not be damaged.

Use only dishes suitable for

microwaves. Before using dishes and

containers in the microwave, check that

these are suitable (see the section on

types of dishes).

Never remove the mica cover on the

ceiling of the oven interior! This cover

stops fat and pieces of food damaging the

microwave generator.

Do not keep any inflammable object

inside the oven as it may burn if the oven

is switched on.

Do not use the oven as a pantry.

Eggs with their shells and whole boiled

eggs must not be heated in microwave

ovens because they may explode.

Do not use the oven for frying as it is

impossible to control the temperature of oil

heated by microwaves.

To avoid being burnt, always use oven

gloves for handling dishes and containers

and touching the oven.

Do not lean or sit on the open oven

door. This may damage the oven,

especially in the hinge zone. The door can

bear a maximum weight of 8 kg.

The turntable and the grills can bear a

maximum load of 8 kg. To avoid damaging

the oven, do not exceed this load.

Cleaning:

Warning! Your microwave oven must be

cleaned regularly. All food remains must

be removed (see section on Oven

Cleaning). If the microwave oven is not

kept clean its surface may deteriorate and

this may shorten the oven’s working life

and could even result in a dangerous

situation.

The door contact surfaces (the front of the

cavity and the inside part of the doors)

must be kept very clean in order to ensure

the oven functions correctly.

Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or

sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven

door glass since they can scratch the

surface, which may result in shattering

of the glass.

Do not use high pressure or stream jet

cleaning appliances.

Please follow the instructions regarding

cleaning in the section “Oven Cleaning and

Maintenance”.

Repairs:

Warning – Microwaves! The outer

protection of the oven must not be

removed. It is dangerous for anyone not

authorized by the manufacturer to carry

out any kind of repair or maintenance

work.

If the power cable is damaged it should be

substituted by the manufacturer,

authorized agents or technicians qualified

for this task in order to avoid dangerous

situations. Furthermore, special tools are

required for this task.

Repair and maintenance work, especially

of current carrying parts, can only be

carried out by technicians authorized by

the manufacturer.

The advantages of microwaves

In conventional ovens, heat radiated by

electrical elements or gas burners slowly

penetrates the food from outside to inside. On

account of this there is a major amount of

energy is wasted heating the air, the oven

components and the food containers.

In a microwave oven, heat is generated by the

food itself and the heat travels from inside to

outside. No heat is lost to the air, the walls of

the oven cavity or the dishes and containers

(if these are suitable for use in microwave

oven), in other words, only the food is heated.

Microwave ovens have the following

advantages:

1. Shorter cooking times; in general these

are up to 3/4 less than the time required

for conventional cooking.

2. Ultra-fast food defrosting, thus reducing

the danger of bacterial development.

3. Energy savings.

4. Conservation of the nutritional value of

foods due to the shorter cooking times.

5. Easy to clean.

How a microwave oven works

In a microwave oven there is a high tension

valve called a magnetron which converts

electrical energy into microwave energy.

These electromagnetic waves are channeled

to the interior of the oven through a wave

guide and distributed by a metallic spreader or

through a turntable.

Inside the oven the microwaves propagate in

all directions and are reflected by the metal

walls, uniformly penetrating the food.

Why food heats up

Most foods contain water and water molecules

vibrate when subjected to microwaves.

The friction between molecules produces heat

which raises the temperature of the food, de-

freezing it, cooking it or keeping it hot.

Since the heat arises inside the food:

This can be cooked with little or no liquid

or fats/oils;

De-freezing, heating or cooking in a

microwave oven is quicker than in a

conventional oven;

The vitamins, minerals and nutritional

substances in the food are conserved;

The natural color and aroma of the food

are unchanged.

Microwaves pass through china, glass,

cardboard or plastic but do not go through

metal. For this reason, metal containers or

ones with metal parts must not be used in a

microwave oven.

Microwaves are reflected by metal...

... but go through glass and china...

... and are absorbed by foods.

Important Notes:

Always use dishes for use in the

microwave oven and a lid or cover to

avoid loss of liquids.

The time required to heat the food will

depend on its initial temperature. Food

taken straight from the fridge will take

longer to heat up than food that is at

room temperature.

If the food temperature is not what is

wanted, select a greater or lesser weight

next time you heat up the food.

After heating, stir the food or shake the

container and then leave the food to stand

for some time to allow the temperature to

become uniform throughout the food.

Warning! After heating the container may be

very hot. Although microwaves do not heat up

most containers, these may heat up through

heat transmission from food.
