the power outlet you are going to use.  
The oven is equipped with a power cable and a  
plug for single phase current.  
If the oven is to be installed on a permanent  
Open the oven door and take out all the  
accessories and remove the packing material.  
basis it should be installed by  
a
qualified  
technician. In such a case, the oven should be  
connected to a circuit with an all-pole circuit  
breaker with a minimum separation of 3 mm  
between contacts.  
Do not remove the mica cover on the ceiling of  
the interior! This cover stops fat and pieces of  
food damaging the microwave generator.  
WARNING: THE OVEN MUST BE EARTHED.  
Warning! The front surface of the oven may be

oven for the first time, carefully remove this film,  
starting on the inside.  
The manufacturer and retailers do not accept  
responsibility for any damage that may be  
caused to people, animals or property if these  
installation instructions are not observed..  
Make sure that the oven is not damaged in any  
way. Check that the oven door closes correctly  
and that the interior of the door and the front of  
the oven opening are not damaged. If you find any  
damage contact the Technical Assistance  
Service.  
The oven only functions when the door is closed  
correctly.  
After the first use, clean the inside of the oven and

Microwave safety  
Beware!  
Warning! Never leave the oven unwatched,  
especially when using paper, plastic or other  
combustible materials. These materials can  
char and may fire. FIRE RISK!  
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!  
Warning! If you see smoke or fire, keep the  
door closed in order to smother the flames.  
Switch off the oven and take the plug out of  
the socket or cut off the oven power supply.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Warning! Children should only be able to  
use the oven without adult supervision if  
they have been given instructions on how to  
use the oven safely and on how to identify  
the dangers of badly using the oven.  
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!  
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;  
Take care when heating liquids!  
The surfaces of the contact between the door  
and the oven front are damaged;  
When liquids (water, coffee, tea, milk, etc.) are  
nearly at boiling point inside the oven and are  
taken out suddenly, they may spurt out of their  
containers. DANGER OF INJURIES AND  
BURNS!  
-
-
The door window glass is damaged;  
There is frequent electrical arcing inside the  
oven even though there is no metal object  
inside.  
To avoid that type of situation when heating  
liquids, put a teaspoon or glass rod inside the  
container.  
The oven can only be used again after it  
has been repaired by  
Assistance Service technician.

Microwave safety  
The turntable and the grills can bear a  
maximum load of 8 kg. To avoid damaging  
the oven, do not exceed this load.  
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:  
Cleaning:  
Warning! Your microwave oven must be  
Do not switch on the oven without the  
turntable support, the turntable ring and  
the respective plate being in place.  
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.  
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!  
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.  
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.  
Please follow the instructions regarding  
cleaning in the section “Oven Cleaning and  
Maintenance”.  
Do not cover or obstruct the ventilation  
openings.  
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).  
Repairs:  
Warning  
Microwaves! The outer  
protection of the oven must not be  
removed. It is dangerous for anyone not  
authorised by the manufacturer to carry out  
any kind of repair or maintenance work.  
Never remove the mica cover on the  
ceiling of the oven interior! This cover  
stops fat and pieces of food damaging the  
microwave generator.  
If the power cable is damaged it should be  
substituted by the manufacturer, authorised  
agents or technicians qualified for this task  
in order to avoid dangerous situations.  
Furthermore, special tools are required for  
this task.  
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.  
Repair and maintenance work, especially of  
current carrying parts, can only be carried  
out by technicians authorised by the  
manufacturer.  
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 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.  
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.  
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.  
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  
microwave oven is quicker than in  
conventional oven;  
a
a
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.  
The vitamins, minerals and nutritional  
substances in the food are conserved;  
The natural colour and aroma of the food are  
unchanged.  
2. Ultra-fast food defrosting, thus reducing the  
danger of bacterial development.  
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.  
3. Energy savings.  
4. Conservation of the nutritional value of foods  
due to the shorter cooking times.  
Microwaves are reflected by metal...  
... but go through glass and china...  
... and are absorbed by foods.  
5. Easy to clean.  
How a microwave oven works  
In a microwave oven there is a high tension valve  
called  
energy  
a
magnetron which converts electrical  
into microwave energy. These  
electromagnetic waves are channelled 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.

Defrosting  
General instructions for defrosting  
1. When defrosting, use only dishes that are  
appropriate for microwaves (china, glass,  
suitable plastic).  
8. Place poultry on an upturned plate so that the  
meat juices can run off more easily.  
9. Bread should be wrapped in a napkin so that it  
does not become too dry.  
2. The defrost function by weight and the tables  
refer to the defrosting of raw food.

3. The defrosting time depends on the quantity  
and thickness of the food. When freezing food  
keep the defrosting process in mind. Distribute  
the food evenly in the container.  
.
do not forget to take off any metal twist-tags.  
For containers that are used to keep frozen  
food in the freezer and which can also be used  
for heating and cooking, all you need to do is  
take off the lid. For all other cases you should  
put the food into containers that are suitable for  
microwave use.  
4. Distribute the food as best as possible inside  
the oven. The thickest parts of fish or chicken  
drumsticks should be turned towards the  
outside. You can protect the most delicate parts  
of food with pieces of aluminium foil.  
Important: The aluminium foil must not come  
into contact with the oven cavity interior as this  
can cause electrical arcing.  
12.  
The liquid resulting from defrosting,  
principally that from poultry, should be  
discarded. In no event should such liquids be  
allowed to come into contact with other foods.  
5. Thick portions of food should be turned several  
times.  
13.  
Do not forget that by using the defrosting  
function you need to allow for standing time  
until the food is completely defrosted.  
6. Distribute the frozen food as evenly as possible  
since narrow and thin portions defrost more  
quickly than the thicker and broader parts.  
7. Fat-rich foods such as butter, cream cheese  
and cream should not be completely defrosted.  
If they are kept at room temperature they will  
be ready to be served in a few minutes. With  
ultra-frozen cream, if you find small pieces of  
ice in it, you should mix these in before serving.

Cooking with a microwave oven  
When heating liquids, use containers with  
a wide opening, so that the steam can  
evaporate easily.  
Warning! Read the section “Microwave Safety”  
before cooking with your microwave.  
Follow these recommendations when cooking with  
your microwave:  
Prepare the foods as per the instructions and  
keep in mind the cooking times and power levels  
indicated in the tables.  
Before heating or cooking foods with peel or  
skin (e.g. apples, tomatoes, potatoes,  
sausages) prick them so that they do not  
burst. Cut the food up before starting to  
prepare it.  
Keep in mind that the figures given are only  
indicative and can vary depending on the initial  
state, temperature, moisture and type of food. It is  
advisable to adjust the times and power levels to  
each situation. Depending on the exact  
characteristics of the food you may need to  
increase or shorten the cooking times or increase  
or decrease the power levels.  
Before using a container or dish make sure  
that it is suitable for microwave use (see the  
section on types of ovenware).  
When cooking food with very little moisture  
(e.g. defrosting bread, making popcorn,  
etc.) evaporation is very quick. The oven  
then works as if it was empty and the food  
may burn. The oven and the container may  
be damaged in such a situation. You should  
therefore set just the cooking time necessary  
and you must keep a close eye on the  
cooking process.  
Cooling with microwaves...  
1. The greater the amount of food, the longer the  
cooking time. Keep in mind that:  
Double the quantity » double the time  
Half the quantity » half the time  
2. The lower the temperature, the longer the  
cooking time.  
It is not possible to heat large quantities of  
oil (frying) in the microwave.  
3. Foods containing a lot of liquid heat up more  
quickly.  
Remove pre-cooked food from the  
containers they come in since these are not  
always heat resistant. Follow the food  
manufacturer’s instructions.  
4. Cooking will be more uniform if the food is  
evenly distributed on the turntable. If you put  
dense foods on the outside part of the plate and  
less dense ones on the centre of the plate, you  
can heat up different types of food simultaneously.  
If you have several containers, such as  
cups, for example, set them out uniformly on  
the turntable plate.  
5. You can open the oven door at any time. When  
you do this the oven switches off automatically.  
The microwave will only start working again when  
you close the door and press the start key.  
Do not close plastic bags with metal clips.  
Use plastic clips instead. Prick the bags  
several times so that the steam can escape  
easily.  
6. Foods that are covered require less cooking  
time and retain their characteristics better. The  
lids used must let microwaves pass through and  
have small holes that allow steam to escape.  
When heating or cooking foods, check that  
they reach at least a temperature of 70°C.  
During cooking, steam may form on the  
oven door window and may start to drip.  
This situation is normal and may be more  
noticeable if the room temperature is low.  
The oven’s safe working is not affected by  
this. After you have finished cooking, clean  
up the water coming from the condensation

Cooking with the grill  
For good results with the grill, use the rectangular  
rack supplied with the oven.  
4. If the grill is used for extended period of time it  
is normal to find that the elements will switch  
themselves off temporarily due to the safety  
thermostat.  
IMPORTANT POINTS:  
5. Important! When food is to be grilled or  
cooked in containers you must check that the  
container in question is suitable for microwave  
use. See the section on types of ovenware!  
1. When the microwave grill is used for the first  
time there will be some smoke and a smell  
coming from the oils used during oven  
manufacture.  
6. When the grill is used it is possible that some  
splashes of fat may go onto the elements and  
be burnt. This is a normal situation and does  
not mean there is any kind of operating fault.  
2. The oven door window becomes very hot when  
the grill is working. Keep children away.  
3. When the grill is operating, the cavity walls and  
the rectangular rack become very hot. You  
should use oven gloves.  
7. After you have finished cooking, clean the  
interior and the accessories so that cooking  
remains do not become encrusted.

indicative and can vary as a function of the  
composition and quantity of the food, as well as  
the final condition wished for. Fish and meat taste  
great if, before grilling, you brush them with  
vegetable oil, spices and herbs and leave to  
marinate for a few hours. Only add salt after  
grilling.  
Sausages will not burst if you prick them with a  
fork before grilling.  
After half the grilling time has passed, check on  
how the cooking is going and, if necessary, turn  
the food over or brush it with some oil.  
The grill is especially suitable for cooking thin  
portions of meat and fish. Thin portions of meat  
only need to be turned once, but thicker portions  
should be turned several times. In the case of fish,  
you should join the two ends, putting the tail in its  
mouth, and then put the fish on the rectangular  
rack.

Advice to roast - bake  
Advice on ovenware  
Turn the pieces of meat halfway through the  
cooking time. When the roasted meat is ready you  
should let it stand for 20 minutes in the oven with  
this switched off and closed. This will ensure the  
juices in the meat are well distributed.  
Check that the ovenware fits inside the oven.  
Hot glass containers should be put on a dry  
kitchen cloth. If such containers are put on a cold  
or wet surface the glass may crack and break.  
Use oven gloves to take the ovenware out of the  
oven.  
The roasting temperature and time required  
depends on the type and amount of meat being  
cooked.  
If the weight of the meat to be roasted does not  
appear on the table choose the settings for the  
weight immediately below and extend the cooking  
times.

Advice on cake baking ware  
If the cake is very dry  
The most commonly used type of baking ware is  
black metal tins. If you are also going to use the  
microwave, use glass, ceramic or plastic baking  
ware. These must be able to withstand  
temperatures up to 250ºC. If you use these types  
of baking ware the cakes are not browned as  
much.  
Make small holes in the cake with a tooth pick  
after baking has finished. Then sprinkle the cake  
with some fruit juice or alcoholic drink. Next time  
increase the temperature by about 10º and reduce  
the baking time.  
If the cake does not come free when turned  
Let the cake cool down for 5 to 10 minutes after  
baking and it will come out of the tin more easily.  
If the cake still does not come free run a knife  
carefully around the edges. Next time grease the  
cake tin well.  
Advice on how to bake cakes  
Different amounts and types of pastry require  
different temperatures and baking times. Try low  
settings first of all and then, if necessary, use  
higher temperatures next time.  
A
lower  
Advice on saving energy  
temperature will result in more uniform baking.  
Always put the cake tray in the centre of the  
turntable.  
When you are making more than one cake, it is  
advisable to bake them in the oven one after the  
other when the oven is still hot. This lets you  
reduce the baking time for the second and later  
cakes.  
Baking suggestions  
How to check if the cake is properly cooked  
Start sticking a tooth pick in the highest part of the  
cake 10 minutes before the end of the baking  
time. When no dough sticks to the tooth pick the  
cake is ready.  
It is preferable to use dark coloured baking ware -  
painted or enamelled black – since such baking  
tins absorb heat better.  
When dealing with long baking times, you can  
switch the oven off 10 minutes before the end of  
the time and make use of the residual heat to  
complete the baking.

What kind of ovenware can be used?  
Keep  
in  
mind  
the  
manufacturer’s  
Microwave function  
recommendations written on the packaging.  
For the microwave function, keep in mind that  
microwaves are reflected by metal surfaces.  
Glass, china, clay, plastic, and paper let  
microwaves pass.  
The aluminium containers cannot be more  
than 3 cm high or come in contact with the  
cavity walls (minimum distance 3 cm). Any  
aluminium lid or top must be removed.  
Put the aluminium container directly on top  
of the turntable plate. If you use the  
rectangular rack, put the container on a  
china plate. Never put the container directly  
on the rectangular rack!  
For this reason, metal pans and dishes or  
containers with metal parts or decorations  
cannot be used in the microwave. Glass ware  
and clay with metallic decoration or content  
(e.g. lead crystal) cannot be used in microwave  
ovens.  
The cooking time is longer because the  
microwaves only enter the food from the top.  
If you have any doubts, it is best to use only  
dishes suitable for microwave use.  
The ideal materials for use in microwave ovens  
are glass, refractory china or clay, or heat  
resistant plastic. Very thin, fragile glass or china  
should only be used for short period of times (e.g.  
heating).  
Aluminium foil can be used to reflect  
microwaves during the defrosting process.  
Delicate food, such as poultry or minced  
meat, can be protected from excessive heat  
Hot food transmits heat to the dishes which can  
become very hot. You should, therefore, always  
use an oven glove!  
by  
covering  
the  
respective  
extremities/edges.  
How to test ovenware you want to use  
Important: aluminium foil cannot come into  
contact with the cavity walls since this may  
cause electrical arcing.  
Put the item you want to use in the oven for 20  
seconds at maximum microwave power. After that  
time, if it is cold and just slightly warm, it is  
suitable to use. However, if it heats up a lot or  
causes electric arcing it is not suitable for  
microwave use.  
Lids  
We recommend you use glass or plastic lids or  
cling film since:  
1. This will stop excessive evaporation (mainly  
during very long cooking times);  
Grill and Hot air function  
In the case of the grill function, the ovenware must  
be resistant to temperature of at least 300°C.  
2. The cooking times are shorter;  
3. The food does not become dry;  
4. The aroma is preserved.  
Plastic dishes are not suitable for use in the grill.  
Microwave + grill function  
The lid should have holes or openings so that no  
pressure develops. Plastic bags must also be  
opened. Baby feeding bottles or jars with baby  
food and similar containers can only be heated  
without their tops / lids otherwise they can burst.  
In the microwave + grill function, the ovenware  
used must be suitable for use in both the  
microwave and the grill.  
Aluminium containers and foil  
Pre-cooked food in aluminium containers or in  
aluminium foil can be put in the microwave if the  
following aspects are respected:

Oven Cleaning and Maintenance  
Cleaning is the only maintenance normally  
required.  
Oven interior  
After each time the oven is used, clean the inside  
walls with a damp cloth since this is the easiest  
way to remove splashes or spots of food that may  
have stuck to the inside.  
Warning! Your microwave oven should be  
cleaned regularly, with all food remains being  
removed. If the microwave is not kept clean its  
surfaces may deteriorate, reducing the oven’s  
working life and possibly resulting in  
dangerous situation.  
a
To remove dirt that is harder to shift, use a non-  
aggressive cleaning product. Do not use oven  
sprays or other aggressive or abrasive  
cleaning products.  
Warning! Cleaning should be done with the  
oven power switched off. Take the plug out of  
the socket or switch off the oven’s power  
circuit.  
Always keep the door and the oven front very  
clean to ensure that the door opens and  
closes properly.  
Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning  
products, scourers that scratch surfaces or  
sharp objects, since stains may appear.  
Make sure water does not enter the microwave  
ventilation holes.  
Do not use high pressure or stream jet  
cleaning appliances.  
Regularly take out the turntable plate and the  
respective support and clean the cavity base,  
especially after any liquid spillage.  
Front surface  
Do not switch on the oven without the  
turntable and the respective support being in  
place.  
Normally you just need to clean the oven with a  
damp cloth. If it is very dirty, add a few drops of  
dishwashing liquid to the cleaning water.  
Afterwards, wipe the oven with a dry cloth.  
If the oven cavity is very dirty, put a glass of water  
on the turntable and switch on the microwave  
oven for 2 or 3 minutes at maximum power. The  
steam released will soften the dirt which can then  
be cleaned easily using a soft cloth.  
In an oven with an aluminium front, use a glass  
cleaning product and a soft cloth that does not  
release any fibres or threads. Wipe from side to  
side without exerting any pressure on the surface.  
Unpleasant odours (e.g. after cooking fish) can be  
eliminated easily. Put a few drops of lemon juice  
in a cup with water. Put a spoonful of coffee in the  
cup to avoid the water boiling over. Heat the water  
for 2 to 3 minutes at maximum microwave power.  
Immediately remove lime, fat, starch or egg white  
stains. Corrosion can occur under these stains.  
Do not let any water get inside the oven.

Oven Cleaning and Maintenance  
Oven ceiling  
To avoid any risk, do not remove the mica  
cover.  
If the oven ceiling is dirty, the grill can be lowered  
to make cleaning easier.  
The glass lamp cover (4) is located on the oven  
ceiling and can be removed easily for cleaning.  
For this you just need to unscrew it and clean it  
with water and dishwashing liquid.  
To avoid the danger of burning, wait until the  
grill is cold before lowering it. Proceed as  
follows:  
1. Turn the grill support by 90º (1).  
Accessories  
2. Lower the grill gently (2). Do not use excessive  
force as this may cause damage.  
Clean the accessories after each use. If they are  
very dirty, soak them first of all and then use a  
brush and sponge. The accessories can be  
washed in a dish washing machine.  
3. After cleaning the ceiling, put the grill (2) back  
in its place, carrying out the previous operation.  
The mica cover (3) located in the ceiling must  
always be kept clean. Any food remains that  
collect on the mica cover can cause damage or  
provoke sparks.  
Make sure that the turntable plate and the  
respective support are always clean. Do not  
switch on the oven unless the turntable and the  
respective support are in place.  
Do not use abrasive cleaning products or  
sharp objects.

What should I do if the oven doesn’t work?  
The food is too hot, dried out or burnt!  
Check if you selected the correct operating  
time and power level.  
WARNING! Any type of repair must only be  
done by a specialised technician. Any repair  
done by a person not authorised by the  
manufacturer is dangerous.  
I hear some noises after the cooking  
process is finished! This is not a problem.  
The cooling fan keeps on working for some  
time. When the temperature has dropped  
sufficiently, the fan will switch itself off.  
You do not need to contact Technical Assistance  
to resolve the following questions:  
The display is not showing! Check if:  
-
The time indication has been switched off (see  
section on Basic Settings).  
The oven switches on but the interior  
light does not go on! If all the functions  
work properly it is probable that the lamp  
has blown. You can keep on using the oven.  
Nothing happens when I press the keys!  
Check if:  
-
The Safety Block is active (see section on  
Basic Settings).  
Substitution of light bulb  
To substitute the light bulb, proceed as follows:  
The oven does not work! Check if:  
The plug is correctly fitted in the socket.  
The oven’s power is switched on.  
-
Disconnect the oven from the power supply.  
Take the plug out of the socket or switch off the  
oven’s power circuit.  
-
-
-
-
-
Unscrew and remove the glass light cover (1).  
The door is completely closed. The door should  
close with an audible click.  
Remove the halogen light bulb (2). Warning!  
The bulb may be very hot.  
-
There are any foreign bodies between the door  
and the cavity front.  
-
Fit a new 12V / 10W halogen bulb. Warning! Do  
not touch the light bulb surface directly with  
your fingers because you may damage the  
bulb. Follow the lamp manufacturer’s  
instructions.  
When the oven is operating I can hear  
some strange noises! Check if:  
-
There is any electrical arcing inside the oven  
caused by foreign metallic objects (see section  
on type of ovenware).  
-
-
Screw the glass light cover into place (1).  
-
-
The ovenware is touching the oven walls.  
Connect the oven again to the power supply.  
There are any loose items of cutlery or cooking  
tools inside the oven.  
The food doesn’t heat up or heats very  
slowly! Check if:  
-
-
You have inadvertently used metal ovenware.  
You have selected the correct operating times  
and power level.  
-
The food you have put inside the oven is a  
larger amount or colder than you usually put in.
