Warnings for microwave ovens

FOOD PREPARATION
Danger of fire

Use the microwave function only for preparation of food to be eaten.
Any other use may be dangerous or cause damage. For example, heating slippers or pillows filled with grain or cereals could cause these items to catch fire, even after several hours.

POTS AND PANS
Danger of injury
Porcelain and ceramic crockery may have small holes in the handles and cover. There could be cavities hidden behind these holes. If water gets into these cavities, the crockery could break.
Do not use crockery that is unsuitable for microwave ovens.

Danger of burns
The heat of the food can heat the dish. Always use a pot-holder to remove dishes and accessories from the cooking chamber.

MICROWAVE POWER AND DURATION
Danger of fire
Never set values that are too high for the microwave power or the cooking time. The food could catch fire and damage the appliance. Follow the rules in these instructions.

PACKAGING
Danger of fire
Never heat food in thermal packaging. Food in containers made of plastic, paper or other inflammable materials must be watched constantly.

Danger of burns
Airtight packaging can explode. Follow the instructions shown on the package. Always use a pot-holder to remove dishes.

BEVERAGES
Danger of burns

When heating liquids, boiling may be delayed. This means that the boiling temperature has been reached without forming the typical little steam bubbles. Even a slight knock could cause liquid to overflow suddenly or splash. When heating liquids, always put a spoon in the container to prevent delayed boiling.

Danger of explosion
Never heat beverages or other types of food in covered containers.
Never heat alcoholic beverages excessively.

BABY FOOD
Danger of burns
Never heat baby food in a covered container. Always remove the cover or nipple.
When finished heating, always shake or stir carefully to ensure that heat is evenly distributed.
Test the temperature before giving the food to the baby

FOODS WITH SKIN OR PEEL
Danger of burns
Never cook eggs in the shell.
Never heat hard-boiled eggs, as they could explode even after the microwave is turned off. The same applies to shellfish and crustaceans.
When frying eggs, pierce the yolk first. In the case of foods with a hard peel or skin like apples, tomatoes, potatoes or sausage, the peel or skin could explode. Pierce the peel or skin before cooking.

DRYING FOODS
Danger of fire
Never dry food in the microwave.

FOODS WITH LOW WATER CONTENT
Danger of fire
Never defrost or heat foods with low water content, such as bread, for too long or at an excessive power level.

OIL
Danger of fire
Never use the microwave to heat oil alone.

CAUSES OF DAMAGE
Juice leaking from fruit
When preparing desserts containing very juicy fruit, do not overfill the baking dish. Fruit juice overflowing the baking dish can leave indelible stains.

Technical breakdown
Never use enamelled baking dishes in the microwave as they could cause a technical breakdown.

Cooling with the door of the appliance open
The cooking chamber must only be cooled with the door closed. Check that nothing is stuck on the door of the appliance.
Even if the door is only ajar, nearby cabinets could be damaged over time.

Very dirty gasket seal
If the gasket seal is very dirty, the door of the appliance will not close correctly during operation. The surfaces of nearby cabinets could be damaged. Always keep the gasket seal clean.

Using the door of the appliance as a support surface
Do not rest or lean on the open door of the appliance and do not put dishes or accessories on it.

Using the microwave without food inside
Only turn on the microwave after you have put the food in the cooking compartment. Without food inside, the appliance can become overloaded.

First use

• The oven should be thoroughly cleaned with soap and water, and carefully rinsed.
• Heat the oven for about 30 minutes at the maximum temperature; this eliminates all the residual manufacturing oils that could cause unpleasant odours during cooking.
• Use the circular plus fan function without accessories in the oven. Before using the accessories for the first time, clean them carefully with a very hot alkaline washing solution and a soft cloth.

ASSEMBLING AND DISASSEMBLING THE FLAT GRILL

To remove the flat grill, pull the grill towards you until it stops and then lift, by pulling upwards, until it comes fully out. To put the flat grill back in, insert it at a 45-degree angle and then position it horizontally and push it all the way in to the end of the grill track. If the flat grill has a drippan (tray), to remove it, lift slightly and slide it towards you. To re- insert it, slide it back until it is correctly seated.

IMPORTANT: As a safety precaution, before cleaning the oven, always disconnect the plug from the outlet or remove the appliance’s power cord. In addition, avoid using acid or alkaline substances such as lemon, vinegar, salt, tomatoes, etc. Avoid using products containing chlorine, acids or abrasives, especially for cleaning the painted walls.

For the installer

INSTALLING THE OVEN IN THE COUNTER

• The oven must be installed under a cooker top, in a column, or combined with the corresponding food-warmer drawer.
• The dimensions of the space must be those shown in the figure.
• The cabinet material must be able to withstand the heat.
• The oven must be centred within the walls of the cabinet and fixed with the screws and bushings provided.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Before connecting the appliance to the mains, make sure that:

• the characteristics of the electrical system satisfy what is shown on the serial number plate applied to the front of the oven;
• the electrical system has an effective earth connection conforming to standards and current law.

The earth connection is required by law.
The cable must not, at any point, reach a temperature greater than 50°C above the ambient temperature.

This oven must be connected to the power supply by a supply cord fitted with an appropriately rated plug compatible with the socket in the final sub- circuit of the wiring powering the oven.
If a fixed appliance does not have a power cord and plug, or another device that ensures disconnection from the mains with a contact opening distance that allows for complete disconnection under the conditions of excessive voltage category III, such disconnection devices must be provided by the mains power supply and must conform to the installation rules.
The omnipolar socket or switch must be easy to reach when the appliance is installed.

NOTE : The manufacturer declines all liability if the usual accident prevention standards and the above instructions are not followed.

Solving traditional baking problems

Poor results can occur with either Bake or Convection Bake for many reasons other than malfunctioning of the oven. Check the chart below for the causes of the most common problems.
Since the size, shape and material of baking utensils directly affect baking results, the best solution may be to replace old baking utensils that have darkened and warped with age and use.
