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.
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.
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.
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
authorised 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, authorised
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 authorised 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 channelled
to the interior of the oven through a wave
guide and distributed by a metallic spreader
or through a turntable.
