We propose a microscopic model in order to study the multiferroic properties of Cu{sub 2}OSeO{sub 3} taking into account the ferrimagnetic interaction, frustration, linear magnetoelectric (ME) coupling, and anharmonic spin-phonon interaction. We have shown that the dielectric constant and the phonon energy and damping have a kink near the magnetic phase transition T{sub C} = 58 K which disappears with increasing of an external magnetic field. This behavior is an evidence for a strong ME coupling and in qualitative agreement with the experimental data.
