FAQs
Can I use metal dishes in this microwave?
Generally, no metal should be used in the microwave function, as it can cause arcing. However, the included grill rack is designed for use with the grill function. Always refer to the user manual for specific guidance on cookware.
How do I use the Air Fry function?
Place food in the air fry basket or on the crisp plate, ensuring not to overcrowd. Select the Air Fry function on the control panel, set the temperature and time, and press start. It is often recommended to preheat the appliance for best results.
What is the difference between convection and microwave cooking?
Microwave cooking uses electromagnetic waves to heat food directly. Convection cooking uses a heating element and fan to circulate hot air, similar to a conventional oven, ideal for baking and roasting. This appliance combines these functions.
How do I clean the interior of the microwave?
Wipe the interior with a damp cloth and mild detergent after each use. The stainless steel interior is durable but should be cleaned gently. The turntable can be removed and washed separately.
What does the 'Chef Menu' do?
The Chef Menu offers 25 pre-programmed automatic cooking settings for various types of food, such as meat, fish, pizza, and desserts. Simply select the food type and weight, and the microwave will automatically set the optimal cooking function, time, and power level.
Does this microwave have a delayed start timer?
No, this model does not feature a delayed start timer. However, it does have a digital timer for manual cooking and a Quick Start function for immediate use.
What is the warranty period for this Smeg microwave?
Warranty information can vary by region and retailer. Please refer to the warranty card included with your product or contact Smeg customer support for the exact warranty details applicable to your purchase.
Troubleshooting
Microwave not turning on
Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the child lock is not activated. If the issue persists, consult the user manual or contact customer support.
Uneven cooking results
Ensure food is arranged evenly on the turntable. Use the appropriate cooking function and power level for the food type. Check if the inverter technology is functioning correctly by observing consistent heating. Stir or rotate food halfway through cooking if necessary.
Air Fry or Grill not crisping food sufficiently
Ensure the correct accessory (air fry basket or crisp plate) is used. Do not overcrowd the basket or plate. Preheat the appliance if recommended for the specific function. Adjust cooking time or temperature as needed.
Display is unreadable or not working
Try unplugging the appliance for a minute and plugging it back in to reset the display. If the LCD display remains faulty, contact customer service.
Buzzer sound is too loud or not working
Check the user manual for options to adjust buzzer volume or disable it. If the buzzer is not functioning at all, it may require professional attention.
