Need help?Do you have a question about the Amica AMGF23E1GFB and is the answer not in the manual?
This document provides operating instructions for the Amica AMGF20E1GFB and AMGF23E1GFB microwave ovens. It emphasizes safety precautions, proper usage, and maintenance to ensure efficient and safe operation of the appliance.
The microwave oven is designed for household use, primarily for heating or cooking food. It features a modern electronic programmer that allows users to adjust cooking and reheating parameters. The control panel includes a display screen for showing cooking time, power, indicators, and the current time. Number pads are used for setting the clock and cooking time. Dedicated buttons allow selection of microwave power levels, grill cooking programs, and combination cooking programs. There are also functions for setting the clock, presetting a cooking program to start at a specific time, adding cooking time, setting food weight for sterilization and deodorization programs, and setting time or weight defrost programs. A pause/cancel button is available to pause or cancel a program and also to set the child lock. A start/quick start button initiates cooking programs and quick start programs, and a menu button provides access to auto menu cooking programs.
Safety is a paramount concern, and the manual details several precautions. Users are warned against operating the oven with the door open due to the risk of microwave energy exposure. It is crucial not to disable safety interlocks or place anything between the oven's front surface and the door that could interfere with sealing. The oven should not be operated if damaged, especially if the door, hinges, locks, or door seals are compromised. Any adjustments, maintenance, or repairs should only be performed by qualified service personnel. The appliance and its power cord must be kept away from children under 8 years old. For models that are not built-in, the microwave oven should not be placed in a cabinet. The appliance and its accessible parts can become hot during use, so contact with hot parts should be avoided, and children under 8 should be supervised. Steam should not be used for cleaning.
When using the appliance, specific safety rules apply. Close supervision is needed to reduce the risk of fire inside the oven chamber. The oven is intended for heating or cooking food and not for industrial or laboratory use. When using combined modes, children should only operate the oven under adult supervision due to high temperatures. Liquids and other foodstuffs should not be heated in sealed containers as they could explode. The appliance can be used by children aged 8 and older, or by persons with physical, mental, or sensory handicaps, or those inexperienced with the appliance, provided they are supervised and instructed on safe use. Children should not play with the appliance, and cleaning and maintenance should only be performed by children aged 8 or older under supervision. Only microwave-safe cookware should be used. When heating food in plastic or paper containers, close attention is required as they may ignite. If smoke or fire is observed, the appliance should be turned off or unplugged, and the door kept closed until the flames are smothered. Microwave heating of beverages can cause delayed boiling, so caution is advised when handling containers.
Regular cleaning of the oven is essential to prevent food deposits and leftovers from damaging the surface and potentially causing dangerous situations. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a specialist repair center, or a qualified person. Before using the grill function, it is recommended to test heat the grill heater for about 3 minutes without food, ensuring proper room ventilation. The oven must be placed on a flat surface. The turntable and rotating trolley unit should always be in the oven during cooking, and cooked food should be handled carefully to avoid breakage. Improper use of a browning plate can cause the turntable to crack due to high temperatures. Only appropriately sized bags for microwave cooking should be used. The microwave oven has built-in circuit breakers to prevent radiation emission when the door is open, and these should not be tampered with.
The manual also provides guidance on cookware, distinguishing between materials that can and cannot be used in a microwave oven. For example, aluminum trays, cardboard boxes with metal handles, and metal-framed cookware should be avoided as they can cause electric arcs. Plastic foam and wood are also unsuitable. Materials like aluminum foil (used as shielding), browning plates, dinner dishes, glass jars (without lids), and heat-resistant glassware are generally suitable, with specific instructions for each.
The installation section covers unpacking, checking for damage, and proper placement. The light brown mica cover bolted into the recess should not be removed as it shields the microwave magnetron. The appliance is designed for household use and must be fitted into kitchen furniture. Blocking inlet and outlet openings can damage the oven. The oven should be placed away from radios and televisions to avoid interference. It must be connected to a standard household wall socket with the correct voltage and frequency. The oven should not be installed on a gas hob or other heat-producing appliances, as this can damage the oven and void the warranty.
Maintenance involves regular cleaning. Before cleaning, the oven must be disconnected from the power source. The inside of the oven should be cleaned with a damp cloth after each use. Accessories should be cleaned with soapy water. The door frame, seal, and adjacent elements should be cleaned gently with a damp cloth and mild soap or detergent. Abrasive cleaners or sharp metal washers should not be used on the glass door to avoid scratches. To clean the inner cavity, half a lemon can be placed in a bowl with 300 ml of water and heated at 100% power for 10 minutes. After this, the oven should be disconnected and wiped dry.
The manufacturer declares that the product meets European directives for Low Voltage, Electromagnetic Compatibility, and Eco-design, and is marked with the CE symbol. The warranty service is provided as stated on the warranty card, and the manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by improper use.
