the interior! This cover stops fat and pieces of food damaging the microwave generator.
Warning! The front surface of the oven may be wrapped with a protective film. Before using the oven for the first time, carefully remove this film, starting on the inside.
Make sure that the oven is not damaged in any way. Check that the oven door closes correctly
and that the interior of the door and the front of the oven opening are not damaged. If you find any damage contact the Technical Assistance Service.
DO NOT USE THE OVEN if the power cable or the plug are damaged, if the oven does not function correctly or if it has been damaged or dropped. Contact the Technical Assistance Service.
Put the oven on a flat and stable surface. The oven must not be put close to any sources of heat, radios or televisions.
During installation, make sure that the power cable does not come into contact with any moisture or objects with sharp edges behind the oven. High temperatures can damage the cable.
Warning: after the oven is installed you must make sure you can access the plug.
After installation
The oven is equipped with a power cable and a plug for single phase current.
If the oven is to be installed on a permanent basis it should be installed by a qualified
technician. In such a case, the oven should be connected to a circuit with an all-pole circuit breaker with a minimum separation of 3 mm between contacts.
WARNING: THE OVEN MUST BE EARTHED. The manufacturer and retailers do not accept
responsibility for any damage that may be
caused to people, animals or property if these installation instructions are not observed..
The oven only functions when the door is closed correctly.
After the first use, clean the inside of the oven and the accessories, following the cleaning
instructions given in the section “Oven cleaning
and maintenance”.
Fit the Turntable support in the centre of the oven cavity and put the Turntable ring and the Turntable plate on top, making sure they slot in. Whenever you use the microwave, the turntable plate and the respective accessories must be inside and correctly fitted. The turntable plate
can rotate in both directions.
During installation, follow the instructions supplied separately.

Microwave safety
Warning! Never leave the oven unwatched,
especially when using paper, plastic or other combustible materials. These materials can char and may fire. FIRE RISK!
Warning! If you see smoke or fire, keep the
door closed in order to smother the flames. Switch off the oven and take the plug out of the socket or cut off the oven power supply.
Warning! Do not heat pure alcohol or
alcoholic drinks in the microwave. FIRE RISK!
Warning! Do not heat liquids or other foods
in closed containers since these may explode readily.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.

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:
Do not switch on the oven without the
turntable support, the turntable ring and the respective plate being in place.
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!
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.
Do not cover or obstruct the ventilation
openings.
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).
Never remove the mica cover on the
ceiling of the oven interior! This cover stops fat and pieces of food damaging the microwave generator.
Do not keep any inflammable object inside
the oven as it may burn if the oven is
switched on. Do not use the oven as a pantry. Eggs with their shells and whole boiled
eggs must not be heated in microwave
ovens because they may explode. Do not use the oven for frying as it is
impossible to control the temperature of oil
heated by microwaves. To avoid being burnt, always use oven
gloves for handling dishes and containers
and touching the oven. 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.
The turntable and the grills can bear a
maximum load of 8 kg. To avoid damaging the oven, do not exceed this load.
Cleaning:
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.
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.
Please follow the instructions regarding
cleaning in the section “Oven Cleaning and
Maintenance”.
Repairs:
Warning Microwaves! The outer
protection of the oven must not be removed. It is dangerous for anyone not
authorised by the manufacturer to carry out any kind of repair or maintenance work.
If the power cable is damaged it should be
substituted by the manufacturer, authorised agents or technicians qualified for this task in order to avoid dangerous situations. Furthermore, special tools are required for this task.
Repair and maintenance work, especially of
current carrying parts, can only be carried out by technicians authorised 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:
This can be cooked with little or no liquid or
fats/oils;
De-freezing, heating or cooking in a
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.
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 whenever the oven lets out a beep and the display flashes the word:
.
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.
