BEFORE USE

• This appliance is packaged in a way as to protect it during transport. Take the device out of its box and remove all packaging materials. You can keep the original box and other packaging elements in a safe place. This will help you prevent product damage when transporting it in the future. In case the original packaging is disposed of, make sure all packaging materials are recycled accordingly.
• Make sure all parts and components are included and in good conditions. If any of them are missing or not in good condition, please contact Cecotec’s official Technical Support Service immediately.
• The product must be placed on a flat, stable, and dry place and kept away from corrosive materials, heat, and humidity, such as gas burners or water.
• The product must be sufficiently ventilated and must therefore be placed at least 85 cm above the ground. You must ensure a distance of at least 30 cm on top and at least 20 cm between the device and any adjacent wall. Leave 10 cm of space behind the device.
• The product must be placed, at least, at 5 m from any TV, radio, or antenna.
• The product must be placed in such way that the plug is accessible and must ensure an effective grounding in case of leakage to avoid electric shocks.
• The microwave door must be closed to operate.
• In case there is any manufacturing rests in the microwave cavity or on the heating elements, leave the microwave open to ensure good ventilation. In such case, it is recommended to heat a glass of water at high power for several times.

Warning
Do not try to remove the mica plate. This component is essential for the proper functioning of the device. This plate must be clean to ensure its proper operation.

OPERATION

• Connect appliance to power outlet. Before connecting it, make sure the timer is set on Zero position.
• Do not block the microwave ventilation screen.
• Open the door by pulling it and the light will automatically turn on.
• Place the food on the rotary plate and close the door. Food must be placed on a container, never directly on the rotary plate.
• Select the power level by turning the power knob (next, there is an explanation for every level).
• Set the timer by turning the knob to the desired time.
• Once the timer is set the microwave will start operating and the interior light will turn on. If pausing is needed during operation, open the door at any time. Once the door is closed again, the product will start operating again.
• When the timer stops, a bell will ring, and the interior light will automatically turn off. If food is removed from the microwave before the bell rings, make sure you put the timer back to the zero position to prevent it from running while empty.

Note
The device’s light will automatically turn on when opening the door and when it is operating. When the door is closed and the device is not being used, the light will be off.

Warning
When removing food from the microwave, make sure the timer is in the 0 position, as, if not, the microwave could be used without food on its inside and this could damage the internal components.

• For the Defrost function, the microwave has a default setting according to the weight of the food to be defrosted.
• Around the minutes you will see different numbers corresponding to the weight of the food to be defrosted. (Fig. 4)

Next, there is a table with the recommended default setting.

Note
The defrost settings based on the weight of the food are approximate, you may need more or less time depending on the type of food.

Timer

• The timer is set in minutes, and you can program cooking up to 35 minutes. Each setting is 1 minute.
• When finished, the device will emit a sound indicating the end of the cooking process and the timer will return to the initial position.

TIPS

• Food arrangement: place the thickest food parts towards the edge of the glass tray. If possible, do not overlap food.
• Watch cooking time: cook for the shortest amount of time at first and add more minutes in case it is necessary. Over-cooking may result in smoke and burns.
• Cover food while cooking: covering the food you are going to cook avoids spattering and allows for a more even cooking.
• Flip or stir food once during the cooking process.
• Respect pre-heating time. Pre-heating time specified on the food’s label must not be exceeded.
• It is important to use materials and containers which are suitable and safe for microwave cooking. The table below shows which materials are suitable and which are not:
