Warning
Keep this user guide with your appliance. If the
appliance is ever sold or transferred to another
person, ensure that the new owner receives this
user guide. Please read these guidelines before
installing and using your appliance. They were
written for your safety and the safety of others.
Safety instructions
Children must be supervised to prevent Your

inappropriate use.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with impaired physical,
sensory or mental capacities, or by inexperienced
or untrained persons, except if they have been
instructed in its operation by a person responsible
for their safety.
Ensure that the cookware is suitable for use in a
microwave oven. Do not leave any accessories
in your oven when it is switched off. To avoid
damaging your appliance, never operate it while
empty or the turntable.
Do not interfere with the orifices on the lock on
the front of the appliance; this could cause
damage to your appliance that would require a
service call. The seal and frame of the door must
be regularly examined to ensure that they have
not become damaged. If these areas are
damaged, discontinue use of the appliance and
have a specialised technician check it.
When heating food items in plastic or paper
containers, monitor the microwave’s contents due
to the risk of combustion.
For the microwave and microwave + circular
heating functions, the use of metallic cookware,
for frozen foods is not recommended.
The contents of baby bottles and baby food jars
should be shaken or stirred and their temperature
checked before consumption to avoid burns.
Never heat a baby bottle with the nipple on (risk
of explosion).
Children must be supervised to prevent them from
playing with the appliance. Never allow children
to use the microwave unsupervised, unless
appropriate instructions have been given so that
the child can use the oven safely and understands
the dangers of incorrect operation.
Always use oven gloves to remove dishes from
the oven. Some dishes absorb the heat from food
and are therefore very hot.
Liquids and other foods should not be heated in
sealed containers because they may explode. It
is recommended that you avoid heating eggs in
their shells and whole hard-boiled eggs in the
microwave oven because they run the risk of
explosion, even after cooking is complete.
Heating beverages in the microwave oven can
cause sudden and/or delayed splattering of boiling
liquid, so precautions must be taken when
handling their containers.
In the case of small quantities (a sausage,
croissant, etc.) place a glass of water next to the
food. Excessive cooking times may dry out foods
and burn them. To avoid such incidents, never
use the same times recommended for cooking in
a traditional oven.
If smoke appears, stop or unplug the oven and
leave the door closed to smother any flames that
may appear.
Operating principle
The microwaves used for cooking are
electromagnetic waves. They are commonly found
in our environment in the form of radio waves,
light and infrared rays. Their frequency is in the
2,450 MHz range.
3
Page 6
Important information for the user
Their behaviour:
•
They are reflected by metals.
•
They travel through all other materials.
•
They are absorbed by water, fat, and sugar
molecules.
When food is exposed to microwaves its
molecules begin moving rapidly, causing it to heat
up.
The penetration depth of waves into the food is
approximately 2.5cm; if the food is thicker, the
centre of the food will be cooked by conduction,
as in conventional cooking. Note that microwaves
cause a simple thermal phenomenon within food
and are not harmful to health.
Protecting the environment
This appliance’s packing materials are recyclable.
Please recycle the packaging and help protect
the environment by placing it in the recycling bins
provided by your local council.
Your appliance also contains various
recyclable materials. It therefore carries this logo
to indicate that used appliances should not be
disposed of with other waste. The manufacturer
will arrange for the appliance to be recycled
properly, in accordance with European directive
2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment. Contact your local council or your
retailer to find out details of your closest used
appliance collection point. We thank you for your
help in protecting the environment.

Warning
We cannot be held responsible for any accident
resulting from a non-existent, defective or
incorrect earth lead.
If the oven malfunctions in any way, unplug the
appliance or remove the fuse corresponding to
the sector where the oven is hooked up.
It is dangerous for anyone other than a qualified
person to perform maintenance or repair that
requires the removal of the cover providing
protection against exposure to microwave power.
The appliance must be recess-fitted correctly to
ensure electrical safety. During recess fitting and
maintenance operations, the appliance must be
unplugged from the socket; fuses must be cut off
or removed.
The oven must be connected with a
(standardised) power cable with three 1.5 mm
conductors (1 ph +1 N + ground) that must be
connected to a monophase 220-240 V network
via a IEC 60083 standardised receptacle (1 ph
+1 N + ground lead) or in accordance with
installation rules.
The safety wire (green-yellow) is connected to
the appliance’s terminal and must be
connected to the installation ground.
In the case of connections with an electric
receptacle, it must remain accessible after
installation of the appliance.

A1> Pork, Veal, Turkey (500 g to 2000 g)
A2>Beef
This function is used to cook and brown roasts
weighing between 500 g and 2000 g . Cooking is
carried out through a combination of the
microwave + circulating heat and microwave.
Use a heat-resistant, microwave-safe dish,
preferablyearthenware (fewer splashes than with
a glass dish). If possible, cook roasts without fatty
outer layers to prevent smoke and spatters of fat.
You will get the best results with roasts that are
not very thick.
Remove meat from the refrigerator and let it come
to room temperature for one hour before putting
it in the oven.
Place the dish on the rack placed at level 2.
After cooking, wrap the roast in aluminium foil and
leave it to rest for 10 minutes
The roast will be juicier.
A3>Poultry
This function allows you to cook and brown a
whole chicken or chicken pieces (legs) weighing
between 500 g and 2000 g .
Cooking is done using a combination of
microwave + circulating heat or grill modes.
Use a heat-resistant, microwave-safe dish,
preferablyearthenware (fewer splashes than with
a glass dish). Chicken legs may be placed directly
on the glass drip tray. Before cooking, pierce the
skin to avoid spitting.
Add oil, salt and pepper to the poultry and sprinkle
with spices, if desired.
Whole chicken: Place the dish on the rack at the
level 1.
Chicken thighs: up to 900 g , place the dish on
the rack at level 2.
Once cooked, leave the chicken in the oven for
five minutes before serving.

ready-made meals (lasagna, potatoes au gratin,
cottage pie, fish gratin, etc.) weighing 250 g to
1000 g.
The dishes are reheated using the microwave +
grill function.
Remove the product from its packaging and place
in a suitably-sized, heat-resistant, microwave-safe
dish. For better results, cover the microwave-safe
dish with microwave food wrap or an inverted
plate.
Place the dish on the turntable.
Wait two minutes before serving for even heat
distribution.

microwave-safe tart mould (Pyrex, porcelain, etc.).
When you use ready-made pastry, do not remove
the grease-proof paper.
Cut the excess paper to the dimensions of the
dish.
Place the tart mould on the rack at level 2.

Defrosting
Defrosting frozen vegetables in your microwave
oven saves you a great deal of time. To defrost
food, use the AUTO DEFROST function or
the MICROWAVE function
set to 1000 W (defrosting).
Tips
Small cuts of meat and fish can be cooked
immediately after defrosting. Larger cuts such
as meat roasts or whole fish will still be slightly
frozen at the end of the defrost programme.
We recommend that you let the food stand for
a period of time at least equal to the defrost time
to ensure an even temperature. Food covered
with ice crystals will take longer to defrost. In
this case, you should increase the defrost time.

d1>Defrost of meat, poultry, fish, vegetable 100
g to 500 g
d2>Bread 100g to 500 g
d3>Ready-made meals 100 g to 500 g
Recommendations
The defrost time depends on the type of
appliance. It also depends on the shape, size,
starting temperature and quality of the food.
In most cases, the food must be removed from its
packaging. Remember to remove any metal
fastenings from the packaging. Half way through
defrosting, the pieces of food must be turned,
stirred and separated if they were frozen together.
If you defrost large pieces of meat or fish use the
turntable stop function to turn the food regularly.
Defrost meat or fish by putting it on an
upside-down saucer on top of a plate to prevent
the juices running. If it stays in contact with the
food, it will overheat.
Never refreeze food before cooking it.
Defrost programmes times
Defrost programme times were calculated based
on food frozen at -18°C. This gives you an
indication of the required defrosting time, but the
actual duration may vary based on the thickness,
shape, size and packaging of the food.

Recommendations
The cooking temperature may be adjusted in
increments from 50°C to 250°C. The cooking time
ranges from between 0 and 90 minutes.
It is preferable to enter a minimum time and then
to add time if necessary; monitor the colour of
foods.
Always insert the rack at level 1 or level 2; this will
optimise heat distribution and the quality of the
cooking.
Use cookware designed to withstand high
temperatures.
Protect your hands when you remove the dish
because it may be very hot.
If you want to defrost food after using the heat
circulation cooking function, we recommend that
you let your oven cool down for 10 minutes first;
this will give you better results.

Using Your Appliance
TRADITIONAL: HEAT CIRCULATION
(recommended temperature 200°C min 50°C max 250°C)
•
The source of heat is a heating element placed at the back of the oven; the air circulated by the fan
is redistributed around the sides.
•
There is no need to preheat except for foods that require a very short cooking time (biscuits) or searing
(roast beef).
•
Heat circulation is particular suitable for:
- keeping white meat moist
- vegetables and fish.
COMBINED HEAT
(recommended temperature 200°C min 50°C max 250°C)
•
Cooking controlled by the upper and lower heating elements and by the fan.
•
Three combined sources of heat: a lot of heat from the bottom, a little circulating heat and a touch
from the grill for browning.
•
Recommended for quiches, pies, tarts with juicy fruits, preferably in an earthenware dish.
BASE FAN
(recommended temperature 180°C min 50°C max 250°C)
•
Recommended cooking sequence for bread making.
•
After preheating, place the ball of bread on a pastry tray - 1st shelf support.
•
Don't forget to place a ramekin of water on the base to obtain a golden crispy crust.
TRADITIONAL
(recommended temperature 200°C min 50°C max 250°C)
•
Cooking controlled by the upper and lower heating elements.
•
All types of cooking are carried out with preheating.
TRADITIONAL: TURBO GRILL
(recommended temperature 200°C min 50°C max 200°C)
•
This mode combines the effects of the fan and the grill: the grill pulses the food with infrared and the
air movement generated by the fan softens the effect.
•
This function can be used to grill or roast without rotisserie.
TRADITIONAL: GRILL
(recommended positions 2 min 1 max 3)
•
This function makes it possible to grill: (Toast, ribs, thick pieces of meat, sausages.)
25

Using Your Appliance
KEEPING THINGS WARM
(recommended temperature 80°C min 35°C max 100°C)
•
This position allows you to keep your food warm by bursts of heat from the element at the back of the
oven combined with fan.
•
Recommended for letting dough rise for bread, brioche, kouglof, etc. without exceeding 40°C (plate
warming, defrosting).
DEFROSTING
(recommended temperature 30°C min 30°C max 50°C)
•
Dishes are defrosted using a limited amount of heat and the fan.
•
Ideal for delicate dishes (fruit tart, custard pie, etc.).
•
Meat, buns, etc., are defrosted at 50°C (meat should be placed under the grill with a dish underneath
to catch drips from the defrosting which are not edible).

Caring for and cleaning your oven
We recommend that you clean the oven regularly
and remove any deposits of food from the inside
and outside of the appliance. Use a damp, soapy
sponge. If the appliance is not cleaned regularly,
its surface could become damaged, permanently
affecting the appliance's lifespan and possibly
causing a safety hazard. If the door or door hinge
are damaged, the oven should not be used until
it has been repaired by an authorised person.
Do not clean the appliance with a steam cleaner.
Warning
Do not use abrasive cleaning products or hard
metal scrapers for cleaning the oven's glass
door, as they could scratch the surface and
cause the glass to shatter.
In the event of odour or caked-on dirt, boil water
with lemon juice and vinegar in a cup for two
minutes and clean the insides with a bit of
dishwashing liquid.
To clean the ceiling of your oven cavity, tilt the
grill resistor downward.
Remove the grill resistor by pressing on the rod
in the upper left.
