Microwave safety
x Warning! Never leave the oven unwatched, especially when using paper,
plastic or other combustible materials. These materials can char and may fire.
FIRE RISK!
x Warning! Do not heat pure alcohol or alcoholic drinks in the microwave. FIRE
RISK!
x Warning! Do not heat liquids or other foods in closed containers since these
may explode readily.
x Warning! This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
x Warning! If the oven has a combined function mode (microwave with other
means of heating), children should not be allowed to use the oven without
adult supervision on account of the high temperatures generated.
x Warning! The oven cannot be used if:
– The door is not closed correctly;
– The door hinges are damaged;
– The surfaces of the contact between the door and the oven front are damaged;
– The door window glass is damaged;
– There is frequent electrical arcing inside the oven even though there is no
metal object inside.
The oven can only be used again after it has been repaired by a Technical
Assistance Service technician.
Beware!
x Never heat baby foods or drinks in bottles or jars with the teats or lids on
them. After heating the food mix or shake well so that the heat is spread
evenly. Check the food temperature before feeding this to the child. DANGER OF
BURNING!
x To avoid food overheating or burning it is very important not to select long
time periods or power levels that are too high when heating small quantities
of food. For example, a bread roll can burn after 3 minutes if the power
selected is too high.
x For toasting, use just the grilling function and watch the oven all the
time. It you use a combined function to toast bread it will catch fire in a
very short time.
x Make sure you never catch the power cables of other electrical appliances in
the hot door or the oven. The cable insulation may melt. Danger of short-
circuiting!

Microwave safety
This oven is exclusively for domestic use!
Use the oven only for preparing meals.
Avoid damaging the oven or other dangerous situations by following these
instructions:
x Do not switch on the oven without the turntable support, the turntable ring
and the respective plate being in place.
x Never switch on the microwave when it is empty. If there is no food inside
there may be an electrical overcharge and the oven could be damaged. RISK OF
DAMAGE!
x For carrying out oven programming tests put a glass of water inside the
oven. The water will absorb the microwaves and the oven will not be damaged.
x Use only dishes suitable for microwaves. Before using dishes and containers
in the microwave, check that these are suitable (see the section on types of
dishes).
x Never remove the mica cover on the ceiling of the oven interior! This cover
stops fat and pieces of food damaging the microwave generator.
x Do not keep any inflammable object inside the oven as it may burn if the
oven is switched on.
x Do not use the oven as a pantry.
x Eggs with their shells and whole boiled eggs must not be heated in microwave
ovens because they may explode.
x Do not use the oven for frying as it is impossible to control the
temperature of oil heated by microwaves.
x To avoid being burnt, always use oven gloves for handling dishes and
containers and touching the oven.
x Do not lean or sit on the open oven door. This may damage the oven,
especially in the hinge zone. The door can bear a maximum weight of 8 kg.
x The turntable and the grills can bear a maximum load of 8 kg. To avoid
damaging the oven, do not exceed this load.
Cleaning:
x Warning! Your microwave oven must be cleaned regularly. All food remains
must be removed (see section on Oven Cleaning). If the microwave oven is not
kept clean its surface may deteriorate and this may shorten the oven’s working
life and could even result in a dangerous situation.
x The door contact surfaces (the front of the cavity and the inside part of
the doors) must be kept very clean in order to ensure the oven functions
correctly.
x Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven
door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering
of the glass.
x Do not use high pressure or stream jet cleaning appliances.
x Please follow the instructions regarding cleaning in the section “Oven
Cleaning and Maintenance”.
Repairs:
x Warning Microwaves! The outer protection of the oven must not be removed.
It is dangerous for anyone not authorized by the manufacturer to carry out any
kind of repair or maintenance work.
x If the power cable is damaged it should be substituted by the manufacturer,
authorized agents or technicians qualified for this task in order to avoid
dangerous situations. Furthermore, special tools are required for this task.
x Repair and maintenance work, especially of current carrying parts, can only
be carried out by technicians authorized by the manufacturer.

The advantages of microwaves
In conventional ovens, heat radiated by electrical elements or gas burners
slowly penetrates the food from outside to inside. On account of this there is
a major amount of energy is wasted heating the air, the oven components and
the food containers.
In a microwave oven, heat is generated by the food itself and the heat travels
from inside to outside. No heat is lost to the air, the walls of the oven
cavity or the dishes and containers (if these are suitable for use in
microwave oven), in other words, only the food is heated.
Microwave ovens have the following advantages:
1. Shorter cooking times; in general these are up to 3/4 less than the time
required for conventional cooking.
2. Ultra-fast food defrosting, thus reducing the danger of bacterial
development.
3. Energy savings.
4. Conservation of the nutritional value of foods due to the shorter cooking
times.
5. Easy to clean.
How a microwave oven works
In a microwave oven there is a high tension valve called a magnetron which
converts electrical energy into microwave energy. These electromagnetic waves
are channelled to the interior of the oven through a wave guide and
distributed by a metallic spreader or through a turntable.
Inside the oven the microwaves propagate in all directions and are reflected
by the metal walls, uniformly penetrating the food.
Why food heats up
Most foods contain water and water molecules vibrate when subjected to
microwaves. The friction between molecules produces heat which raises the
temperature of the food, defreezing it, cooking it or keeping it hot. Since
the heat arises inside the food:
x This can be cooked with little or no liquid or fats/oils;
x De-freezing, heating or cooking in a microwave oven is quicker than in a
conventional oven;
x The vitamins, minerals and nutritional substances in the food are conserved;
x The natural colour and aroma of the food are unchanged.
Microwaves pass through china, glass, cardboard or plastic but do not go
through metal. For this reason, metal containers or ones with metal parts must
not be used in a microwave oven.
Microwaves are reflected by metal…
… but go through glass and china…
and are absorbed by foods.

Defrosting
General instructions for defrosting
1. When defrosting, use only dishes that are appropriate for microwaves
(china, glass, suitable plastic).
2. The defrost function by weight and the tables refer to the defrosting of
raw food.
3. The defrosting time depends on the quantity and thickness of the food.
When freezing food keep the defrosting process in mind. Distribute the food
evenly in the container.
4. Distribute the food as best as possible inside the oven. The thickest
parts of fish or chicken drumsticks should be turned towards the outside. You
can protect the most delicate parts of food with pieces of aluminium foil.
Important: The aluminium foil must not come into contact with the oven cavity
interior as this can cause electrical arcing.
5. Thick portions of food should be turned several times.
6. Distribute the frozen food as evenly as possible since narrow and thin
portions defrost more quickly than the thicker and broader parts.
7. Fat-rich foods such as butter, cream cheese and cream should not be
completely defrosted. If they are kept at room
temperature they will be ready to be served in a few minutes. With ultra-
frozen cream, if you find small pieces of ice in it, you should mix these in
before serving.
8. Place poultry on an upturned plate so that the meat juices can run off
more easily.
9. Bread should be wrapped in a napkin so that it does not become too dry.
10. Turn the food at regular intervals.
11. Remove frozen food from its wrapping and do not forget to take off any
metal twist-tags. For containers that are used to keep frozen food in the
freezer and which can also be used for heating and cooking, all you need to do
is take off the lid. For all other cases you should put the food into
containers that are suitable for microwave use.
12. The liquid resulting from defrosting, principally that from poultry,
should be discarded. In no event should such liquids be allowed to come into
contact with other foods.
13. Do not forget that by using the defrosting function you need to allow for
standing time until the food is completely defrosted.

Cooking with a microwave oven
Warning! Read the section “Microwave Safety” before cooking with your
microwave.
Follow these recommendations when cooking with your microwave:
x Before heating or cooking foods with peel or skin (e.g. apples, tomatoes,
potatoes, sausages) prick them so that they do not burst. Cut the food up
before starting to prepare it.
x Before using a container or dish make sure that it is suitable for microwave
use (see the section on types of ovenware).
x When cooking food with very little moisture (e.g. defrosting bread, making
popcorn, etc.) evaporation is very quick. The oven then works as if it was
empty and the food may burn. The oven and the container may be damaged in such
a situation. You should therefore set just the cooking time necessary and you
must keep a close eye on the cooking process.
x It is not possible to heat large quantities of oil (frying) in the
microwave.
x Remove pre-cooked food from the containers they come in since these are not
always heat resistant. Follow the food manufacturer’s instructions.
x If you have several containers, such as cups, for example, set them out
uniformly on the turntable plate.
x Do not close plastic bags with metal clips. Use plastic clips instead. Prick
the bags several times so that the steam can escape easily.
x When heating or cooking foods, check that they reach at least a temperature
of 70°C.
x During cooking, steam may form on the oven door window and may start to
drip. This situation is normal and may be more noticeable if the room
temperature is low. The oven’s safe working is not affected by this. After you
have finished cooking, clean up the water coming from the condensation
x When heating liquids, use containers with a wide opening, so that the steam
can evaporate easily.
Prepare the foods as per the instructions and keep in mind the cooking times
and power levels indicated in the tables.
Keep in mind that the figures given are only indicative and can vary depending
on the initial state, temperature, moisture and type of food. It is advisable
to adjust the times and power levels to each situation. Depending on the exact
characteristics of the food you may need to increase or shorten the cooking
times or increase or decrease the power levels.
Cooling with microwaves…
1. The greater the amount of food, the longer the cooking time. Keep in mind
that:
x Double the quantity » double the time
x Half the quantity » half the time
2. The lower the temperature, the longer the cooking time.
3. Foods containing a lot of liquid heat up more quickly.
4. Cooking will be more uniform if the food is evenly distributed on the
turntable. If you put dense foods on the outside part of the plate and less
dense ones on the centre of the plate, you can heat up different types of food
simultaneously.
5. You can open the oven door at any time. When you do this the oven switches
off automatically. The microwave will only start working again when you close
the door and press the start key.
6. Foods that are covered require less cooking time and retain their
characteristics better. The lids used must let microwaves pass through and
have small holes that allow steam to escape.

Cooking with the grill
For good results with the grill, use the grid iron supplied with the oven.
Fit the grid iron in such a way that it doesn’t come into contact with the
metal surfaces of the oven cavity since if it does there is a danger of
electric arcing which may damage the oven.
IMPORTANT POINTS:
1. When the microwave grill is used for the first time there will be some
smoke and a smell coming from the oils used during oven manufacture.
2. The oven door window becomes very hot when the grill is working. Keep
children away.
3. When the grill is operating, the cavity walls and the grid iron become
very hot. You should use oven gloves.
4. If the grill is used for extended period of time it is normal to find that
the elements will switch themselves off temporarily due to the safety
thermostat.
5. Important! When food is to be grilled or cooked in containers you must
check that the container in question is suitable for microwave use. See the
section on types of ovenware!
6. When the grill is used it is possible that some splashes of fat may go
onto the elements and be burnt. This is a normal situation and does not mean
there is any kind of operating fault.
7. After you have finished cooking, clean the interior and the accessories so
that cooking remains do not become encrusted.

the grid iron. Place the grid on a bowl so that the water and the fat can
drop.
The times shown are merely indicative and can vary as a function of the
composition and quantity of the food, as well as the final condition wished
for. Fish and meat taste great if, before grilling, you brush them with
vegetable oil, spices and herbs and leave to marinate for a few hours. Only
add salt after grilling.
Sausages will not burst if you prick them with a fork before grilling.
After half the grilling time has passed, check on how the cooking is going
and, if necessary, turn the food over.
The grill is especially suitable for cooking thin portions of meat and fish.
Thin portions of meat only need to be turned once, but thicker portions should
be turned several times.

Before using a dish in the microwave oven make sure that it is suitable for
microwave use. Only use dishes or containers that are suitable for microwave
use.
The dish to be used in the combined function must be suitable for microwave
and grill use. See the section on types of ovenware!
Keep in mind that the figures given are merely indicative and can vary as a
function of the initial state, temperature, moisture and type of food.
If the time is not enough to brown the food well, put it under the grill for
another 5 or 10 minutes.
Please follow the standing times and don’t forget to turn the meat pieces.
Unless indicated to the contrary, use the turntable plate for cooking.
The values given in the tables are valid when the oven cavity is cold (it is
not necessary to pre-heat the oven).

What kind of ovenware can be used?
Microwave function
For the microwave function, keep in mind that microwaves are reflected by
metal surfaces. Glass, china, clay, plastic, and paper let microwaves pass.
For this reason, metal pans and dishes or containers with metal parts or
decorations cannot be used in the microwave. Glass ware and clay with metallic
decoration or content (e.g. lead crystal) cannot be used in microwave ovens.
The ideal materials for use in microwave ovens are glass, refractory china or
clay, or heat resistant plastic. Very thin, fragile glass or china should only
be used for short period of times (e.g. heating).
Hot food transmits heat to the dishes which can become very hot. You should,
therefore, always use an oven glove!
How to test ovenware you want to use
Put the item you want to use in the oven for 20 seconds at maximum microwave
power. After that time, if it is cold and just slightly warm, it is suitable
to use. However, if it heats up a lot or causes electric arcing it is not
suitable for microwave use.
Grill function
In the case of the grill function, the ovenware must be resistant to
temperature of at least 300°C.
Plastic dishes are not suitable for use in the grill.
Microwave + grill function
In the microwave + grill function, the ovenware used must be suitable for use
in both the microwave and the grill.
Aluminium containers and foil
Pre-cooked food in aluminium containers or in aluminium foil can be put in the
microwave if the following aspects are respected:
x Keep in mind recommendations packaging.
the manufacturer’s written on the
x The aluminium containers cannot be more
than 3 cm high or come in contact with the
cavity walls (minimum distance 3 cm). Any aluminium lid or top must be
removed.
x Put the aluminium container directly on top of the turntable plate. If you use the grid iron, put the container on a china plate. Never put the container directly on the grid iron!
x The cooking time is longer because the microwaves only enter the food from the top. If you have any doubts, it is best to use only dishes suitable for microwave use.
x Aluminium foil can be used to reflect microwaves during the defrosting process. Delicate food, such as poultry or minced meat, can be protected from excessive heat by covering the respective extremities/edges.
x Important: aluminium foil cannot come into contact with the cavity walls
since this
may cause electrical arcing.
Lids
We recommend you use glass or plastic lids or cling film since:
1. This will stop excessive evaporation (mainly during very long cooking
times);
2. The cooking times are shorter;
3. The food does not become dry;
4. The aroma is preserved.
The lid should have holes or openings so that no pressure develops. Plastic
bags must also be opened. Baby feeding bottles or jars with baby food and
similar containers can only be heated without their tops / lids otherwise they
can burst.

Oven Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning is the only maintenance normally required.
Warning! Your microwave oven should be cleaned regularly, with all food
remains being removed. If the microwave is not kept clean its surfaces may
deteriorate, reducing the oven’s working life and possibly resulting in a
dangerous situation.
Warning! Cleaning should be done with the oven power switched off. Take the
plug out of the socket or switch off the oven’s power circuit.
Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning products, scourers that scratch
surfaces or sharp objects, since stains may appear.
Oven interior
After each time the oven is used, clean the inside walls with a damp cloth
since this is the easiest way to remove splashes or spots of food that may
have stuck to the inside.
To remove dirt that is harder to shift, use a nonaggressive cleaning product.
Do not use oven sprays or other aggressive or abrasive cleaning products.
Always keep the door and the oven front very clean to ensure that the door
opens and closes properly.
Make sure water does not enter the microwave ventilation holes.
Do not use high pressure or stream jet cleaning appliances.
Front surface
Normally you just need to clean the oven with a damp cloth. If it is very
dirty, add a few drops of dishwashing liquid to the cleaning water.
Afterwards, wipe the oven with a dry cloth.
In an oven with an aluminium front, use a glass cleaning product and a soft
cloth that does not release any fibres or threads. Wipe from side to side
without exerting any pressure on the surface.
Immediately remove lime, fat, starch or egg white stains. Corrosion can occur
under these stains.
Do not let any water get inside the oven.
Regularly take out the turntable plate and the respective support and clean
the cavity base, especially after any liquid spillage.
Do not switch on the oven without the turntable and the respective support
being in place.
If the oven cavity is very dirty, put a glass of water on the turntable and
switch on the microwave oven for 2 or 3 minutes at maximum power. The steam
released will soften the dirt which can then be cleaned easily using a soft
cloth. Unpleasant odours (e.g. after cooking fish) can be eliminated easily.
Add a few drops of lemon juice or vinegar in a cup of water. Put a spoonful of
coffee in the cup to avoid the water boiling over. Heat the water for 2 to 3
minutes at maximum microwave power.
