  The oven can only be used again after it has been repaired by a Technical Assistance Service technician.

• Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling. Care must be taken when handling the container.

• Take care when heating liquids!
  When liquids (water, coffee, tea, milk, etc.) are nearly at boiling point inside the oven and are taken out suddenly, they may spurt out of their containers.
  DANGER OF INJURIES AND BURNS!
  

• To avoid that type of situation when heating liquids, put a teaspoon or glass rod inside the container.

• The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.

• Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in the appliance since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended.

• Warning! Do not heat pure alcohol or alcoholic drinks in the microwave. FIRE RISK!

• Beware! 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 powerselected is too high.

• 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.

• To achieve the best results when warming up small loads (such as a glass of water, a milk mug or a popcorn bag) it is suggested that they are placed on the glass tray and position it at the 1% or higher levels.

• Turn or stir the food at regular intervals to improve heating uniformity.

• To achieve the best cooking results with microwaves the rack must be removed, place the food on the glass tray and position it at the bottom or higher levels.

• Do not place any food or recipient with food/liquid directly on the bottom of the cavity. For better heating results always place the food or recipient with food/liquid over the glass tray.

• Do not cover the bottom of the oven cavity with aluminum or tin foil sheets as there is the risk of damaging the oven.

During this first operation, smoke and smells will be produced. The kitchen should therefore be well ventilated.
It is normal for condensation to occur on the oven door when cooking food with a high liquid content.
When closing the oven door during cooking, the sound of the air inside it can be heard. This effect is normal due to the pressure exerted by the door when it is closed, guaranteeing the sealing of the cavity.

Accessories

Do not leave any containers or food on the oven floor. Always use the trays and racks supplied with the oven. To prepare yoghurt, place the jars on the oven floor. To cook any other food, insert the tray or rack into the runners inside the oven.

• Between two rails of the side supports or on any of the extractable runners, if the oven has them.
  Cleaning and maintenance WARNING Disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply before any operation.

CLEANING THE OVEN EXTERIOR AND OVEN ACCESSORIES
Clean the outside of the oven and accessories with warm soapy water or with a mild detergent. Take great care when cleaning stainless steel or painted surfaces. Use only sponges or cloths that do not scratch.
CLEANING THE OVEN INTERIOR
Clean the oven interior regularly to remove traces of fat or food, which can later give off smoke and odors and cause stains to appear. Use nylon brushes or sponges with warm soapy water to clean enameled surfaces such as the bottom of the oven. Clean when the oven is cold. Use oven cleaning products only on enameled surfaces and always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING Do not clean the oven interior with steam or pressurized-water cleaning equipment.

•  The rack and some of the trays have retention grooves to prevent them from accidentally being removed. Place these grooves towards the back of the oven, facing upwards Figure 4.
• The surface of the rack on which the container will rest must be below the side rails. This prevents the container from accidentally sliding. Figure 5.

Do not use metal scouring pads, wire brushes or any utensil that can scratch the enamel. Over time, certain types of food such as tomatoes, vinegar and salt-baked dishes may cause the enamel to change color. This is normal and does not affect the functioning of the oven. Do not try to remove these stains using aggressive methods such as those described, as this could cause permanent damage to the surface. Clean the oven seal regularly to eliminate all traces of fat or food. This will prevent the seal from becoming damaged and breaking during subsequent cooking operations. It is advisable to clean this seal without removing it.

Description of the oven functions

WARNING
Please remember that the available functions will vary according to each model.
To check which functions are available on your oven, see the User Manual provided with this Cooking Guide.
CONVENTIONAL
This function is for use when baking cakes where the heat should be even to give a spongy texture.
CONVENTIONAL WITH FAN
Suitable for roasts and baking. The fan distributes the heat evenly around the inside of the oven to reduce cooking time and temperature.
GRILL AND LOWER ELEMENT
Ideal for roasts. This setting can be used for any cuts of meat, regardless of size.
MAXIGRILL
For toasting larger surfaces than possible with the Grill setting, with greater toasting power for faster food browning.
GRILL
Toasting and browning. This setting allows the surface to be browned without affecting the inside of the food. Suitable for flat foods such as steaks, ribs, fish and toast.
GRILL / MAXIGRILL WITH FAN
For even roasting and simultaneous surface browning. Ideal for mixed grills. Perfect for bulky pieces such as poultry and game.
The meat should be placed on the grid shelf with the tray below to collect meat juices.
LowER HEAT (FLOOR)
Heat only comes from the lower part. Suitable for warming dishes or letting dough or similar products rise.
TURBO + LOWER HEAT (PIZZA)
Ideal for cooking pizzas and baking pies, fruit tarts and sponge cakes.
TURBO
The fan distributes the heat coming from an element located at the back of the oven. As a result of the evenly-distributed temperature, food can be cooked on two shelves at the same time.
SLow COOKER
Specially designed for cooking traditional casseroles, stews, etc… and for any dishes specifying particularly long cooking times and low heat.
ECO Eco
For cooking in the oven with the minimum energy consumption possible. Using forced convention heating, the oven switches off a few minutes before the end of cooking, using the residual heat inside the oven and completing the dish perfectly. Recommended for fish and all types of meat roasts.
DEFROSTING
This function is suitable for slowly defrosting food, particularly food consumed unheated, such as soups, pastries, tarts, cakes, etc. In some models, the defrost function can be used to heat food using a hot air system on two levels. HI is suitable for meat in general and LO is used for fish, pastry and bread.
MICROWAVE
This function is ideal to cook and heat vegetables, potatoes, rice, fish and meat.
MICROWAVE AND COMBINED
FUCNTIONS
This function is ideal to cook lasagne, poultry, roast potatoes and toasted foods.
RISING DOUGH
Specially designed for allowing dough for bread and pastry to rise.
FAST PREHEATING
This function allows the oven to be quickly pre-heated to the selected temperature. Use this function when your recipe requires the oven to be at a specific temperature before use.

Environmentally-friendly use of the oven
Energy-saving tips:

•  Remove any accessories not in use from the oven.
•  Use oven-proof dishes, preferably dark coloured.
•  Open the oven door as little as possible during cooking.
•  Avoid preheating the oven while empty. When ever the recipe allows, place the food in the cold oven.
•  If your oven has an ECO function, use this function whenever the recipe allows.
•  For recipes with long cooking times, switch off the oven 5 to 10 minutes before the end of the total cooking time to make use of the residual heat.
• If your oven has fan features, cook multiple dishes at once.

Conventional Functions
Cooking functions vary between models. The tables provided show the key cooking times. The times and temperatures shown in the chart are given as a guide. It is advisable to start with the lowest figures and increase as necessary. Always use the lower end of the range given in the tables. In general, the times shown on the Tables are calculated for placing food in a cold oven. Recipes requiring the oven to be pre-heated will expressly mention this.
Some models come with a Rapid Pre-heating function. This function reduces the cooking time in relation to figures given in the Tables. When using this function, wait until the selected temperature has been reached before placing the food in the oven. The shelf levels for cooking are as follows (from the bottom): 1: Low. 2/3: Medium. 4: High Level 4 is suitable for grilling and toasting. Place the food in the centre of the shelf or rack for the most even result possible.
Microwave Functions
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 spreaderor 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, de-freezing it, cooking it or keeping it hot. Since the heat arises inside the food:

• This can be cooked with little or no liquid or fats/oils;
•  De-freezing, heating or cooking ina microwave oven is quicker than in a conventional oven;
• The vitamins, minerals and nutritional substances in the food are conserved;
•  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.

COOKING WITH A MICROWAVE OVEN
WARNING
Read the Installation and Maintenance booklet before cooking with your microwave.
Follow these recommendations when cooking with your microwave:

• 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.
•  Before using a container or dish make sure that it is suitable for microwave use (see the section on types of ovenware).
• 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.
•  It is not possible to heat large quantities of oil (frying) in the microwave.
•  Remove pre-cooked food from the containers they come in since these are not always heat resistant. Follow the food manufacturer’s instructions.
•  If you have several containers, such as cups, for example, set them out uniformly on the base.
• Do not close plastic bags with metal clips. Use plastic clips instead. Prick the bags several times so that the steam can escape easily.
• When heating or cooking foods, check that they reach at least a temperature of 70°C.
•  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
• 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.
COOKING WITH MICROWAVES…

1.  The greater the amount of food, the longer the cooking time. Keep in mind that:
   • Double the quantity » double the time
   • 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 base. 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.

7.  To achieve the best results when warming up small loads (such as a glass of water, a milk mug or a popcorn bag) it is suggested that they are placed on the glass tray and position it at the 1st or higher levels.

8. Turn or stir the food at regular intervals to improve heating uniformity.

9.  To achieve the best cooking results with microwaves the rack must be removed, place the food on the glass tray and position it at the bottom or higher levels.

10. Do not place any food or recipient with food/liquid directly on the bottom of the cavity. For better heating results always place the food or recipient with food/liquid over the glass tray.

11. Do not cover the bottom of the oven cavity with aluminum or tin foil sheets as there is the risk of damaging the oven.

DEFROSTING WITH MICROWAVES

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 or whenever the oven lets out a beep and the display flashes the word: TURN.
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.
12. Do not forget that by using the defrosting function you need to allow for standing time until the food is completely defrosted.

Type of ovenware
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!

TEST THE OVENWARE
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.
WARNING
If microwave is used, please make sure there are no inappropriate objects inside of the oven, including wire racks or griddles that are the part of appliance and shall be used solely with grill or oven functions.
CONVENTIONAL FUNCTIONS
In the Grill and Hot Air functions, the ovenware must be resistant to temperature of at least 300°C.
Plastic dishes are not suitable for use in the grill.
COMBINED FUNCTIONS
In the combined functions, the ovenware used must be suitable for use in both the microwave and the grill.
METALLIC CONTAINERS AND
ALUMINIUM FOIL
Pre-cooked food in aluminium containers or in aluminium foil can be put in the microwave if the following aspects are respected:
Keep in mind the manufacturer’s recommendations written on the packaging.

• The metallic 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.
• Put the metallic container directly on top of the base. If you use the grid iron, put the container on a china plate. Never put the container directly on the grid iron!
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

NOTE
For a general idea of what type of ovenware is suitable for each situation, check the table at the end of this manual in the “Ovenware” chapter.
