Fagor MO-23DG: 4. BASIC PRINCIPLES

•

Warning:

 Only allow children to operate 

the appliance after explaining how to use 

it and warning of the risks which may 

occur if used incorrectly.

•

It should be prohibited to warm or cook 

eggs in their shell, boiled or baked as 

there is a risk of them exploding and 

causing serious burns or irremediable 

damage to your oven.

•

When warming liquids, boiling point may 

be reached without the typical steam 

bubbles rising to the surface. In order 

to prevent boiling over or any risk of 

burns, wait 20 seconds before taking 

the container out of the appliance or 

introduce an element to prevent the 

liquid from suddenly spraying. 

•

In the case of small amounts of food 

(e.g. one sausage or croissant), place a 

glass of water beside the food item. 

•

Excessively long times may dry out the 

food and carbonise it. To avoid such 

incidents, do not use the same times 

recommended for cooking in a traditional 

oven.

•

Check the oven frequently when 

cooking or warming food in disposable 

containers made of plastic, paper or any 

other flammable material due to the risk 

of combustion.

•

If you see smoke appearing, keep the 

oven door closed, and switch off or 

disconnect the oven from the power 

source.

•  Do not use the oven with the door 

open. If the door or the seals are 

damaged, the oven must not be used 

until it has been repaired by a Certified 

Technical Service. 

•   This appliance should not be used 

by physically, sensorially or mentally 

handicapped people or people without 

experience or knowledge of it (including 

children), unless they are supervised or 

instructed in the use of the appliance by 

a person responsible for their safety.

•   Children should be watched to ensure 

they do not play with the appliance.

4. BASIC PRINCIPLES

•

   In most cases it is recommendable to 

cover the food: it will be tastier and this 

also helps keep the microwave clean. 

However, before cooking any food or 

heating up any liquids in a bottle or 

sealed container, remove the cover or lid 

to avoid any risk of the food exploding.

•

   Place the thickest parts of the food 

towards the outside of the dish.

•

   Always check the cooking time. Use the 

lowest time indicated, adding more time 

if necessary. Overcooked food may give 

off smoke or catch fire.

5. RADIO WAVE INTERFERENCE

Use of the microwave oven may cause 

interference with your radio, TV or similar 

equipment. This can be reduced or 

eliminated by taking the following measures:

1.

  Clean the microwave door and the 

surface of the seal.

2.

  Reposition the radio or TV receiving 

antenna.

3.

  Change the location of the microwave or 

the radio/TV receiver.

4.

  Move the microwave away from the 

receiver.

5.

  Connect the microwave and the receiver 

in different sockets.

6. UTENSILS GUIDE

• 

Always make sure that the utensils used are 

suitable for microwave use.

•

   Microwave-permeable material is ideal, as 

this allows the energy to flow through the 

container to heat up the food.

•

   Do not use metal utensils or dishes with 

metallic patterns on them.

•

   Do not use products made of recycled paper, 

as they could contain small metal fragments 

that could cause sparks and/or fire.

•

   Round or oval plates are recommended 

rather than square or rectangular ones, 

as the food at the corners could be 

overcooked.
