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

playing with the appliance. household use for
cooking, reheating and Never allow children to
use the microwave defrosting foods. The

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.

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.
