This document is an instruction manual for the Teka MWE 225 G microwave oven, providing comprehensive guidance on its operation, safety precautions, and maintenance. The manual is available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, indicating its international distribution.

Function Description

The Teka MWE 225 G is a microwave oven designed for heating food and beverages. It utilizes modern electronic control to adjust cooking parameters, offering various modes to suit different culinary needs. The primary functions include:

Microwave Cooking: This is the core function, allowing users to heat food at different power levels (P100, P80, P50, P30, P10) and for specified durations.
Grill Cooking: The oven also features a grill function, enabling users to brown or crisp food.
Combination Cooking: This mode combines microwave and grill functions, offering two preset combinations (C-1: 55% microwave + 45% grill; C-2: 36% microwave + 64% grill) for versatile cooking.
Defrost by Weight: This feature allows users to defrost food based on its weight, with a range of 100-2000g. The oven automatically calculates the appropriate defrosting time.
Defrost by Time: Alternatively, users can manually set a defrosting time.
Multi-Stage Cooking: The oven supports up to two cooking stages, allowing for sequential operations such as defrosting followed by microwave cooking. The first stage can be defrosting.
Speedy Cooking: A quick start function allows for immediate cooking at 100% power for 30-second increments. This can also be used to increase cooking time during ongoing microwave, grill, or combination cooking, or time defrost.
Auto Menu: The oven includes a selection of pre-programmed auto menus (A-1 to A-8) for common food items like reheat, vegetable, fish, meat, pasta, potato, pizza, and soup. These menus simplify cooking by automatically setting the power and time based on the food type and weight.
Clock Setting: Users can set the current time in a 24-hour format.
Kitchen Timer: A separate timer function is available for general kitchen use, independent of cooking operations.
Lock-out Function for Children: This safety feature prevents unintended operation by locking the control panel.

Usage Features

The MWE 225 G is designed for user-friendly operation with a clear control panel and intuitive button functions.

Control Panel: The front panel includes buttons for MODE, +30Sec, CLOCK/TIMER, CANCEL/STOP, START, and a rotary knob for adjusting time, weight, or menu selection.
Display: An LED display shows the current time, cooking settings, and menu selections.
Audible Feedback: The oven provides audible beeps for various actions, such as turning the knob, confirming settings, and signaling the end of a cooking cycle.
Turntable System: The oven is equipped with a glass tray and a turntable ring assembly, which must always be used during cooking to ensure even heating.
Installation: The manual provides detailed instructions for countertop installation, emphasizing the need for adequate ventilation space around the oven and proper grounding. It also warns against installing the oven over heat-producing appliances.
Utensil Guidelines: A comprehensive list of materials suitable for microwave use and those to be avoided is provided, along with a "Utensil Test" procedure to check if a non-metallic utensil is safe.

Maintenance Features

Proper maintenance is crucial for the longevity and safe operation of the microwave oven. The manual outlines several key maintenance practices:

Regular Cleaning: The oven cavity, accessories (glass tray, turntable ring), door frame, and seals should be cleaned regularly.
Cleaning Method: A slightly damp cloth and soapy water are recommended for general cleaning. Harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers should be avoided, especially on the oven door glass, to prevent scratches and potential shattering.
Cleaning Tip for Cavity Walls: For easier removal of food deposits, a method involving heating half a lemon in water is suggested, followed by wiping with a soft, dry cloth.
Food Deposit Removal: Any food deposits should be removed regularly to prevent degradation of the oven's surface, which could affect its lifespan and lead to hazardous situations.
Door and Seals Inspection: The manual stresses the importance of ensuring the door and door seals are not damaged. If damage occurs, the oven must not be operated until repaired by a competent person.
Grounding: The appliance must be properly grounded to reduce the risk of electric shock. Users are advised to consult a qualified electrician if grounding instructions are unclear.
Troubleshooting Guide: A troubleshooting section helps users identify and resolve common issues, such as the oven not starting, not heating, or the turntable making noise. It provides possible causes and remedies.
WEEE Directive Compliance: The manual indicates that the product complies with the Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive, advising users to dispose of the appliance at designated WEEE collecting points rather than with household waste.
