1/ NOTICES TO THE USER
Important :
Keep this user guide with your appli­ance. If the appliance is ever sold or trans­ferred to another person, ensure that the new owner receives the user guide. Please become familiar with these recommenda­tions before installing and using your appli­ance. They were written for your safety and the safety of others.
Your appliance is designed for standard household use for cooking, reheating and defrosting foods. The manufacturer declines any responsibility in the case of inappropriate use.
This appliance is not intended to be used by per-
sons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities, or persons lacking experience or awareness, unless using it with the help of a person responsible for their safety, or under supervision and with prior instruction in its use.
Ensure that the cookware is suitable for use
in a micro-wave oven.
To avoid damaging your appliance, never oper-
ate it while empty or without 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 reg-
ularly examined to ensure that they have not deteriorated. If these areas are damaged, dis­continue use of the applianceand have a spe­cialised technician check it.
While heating food items in plastic or paper
containers, monitor the micro-wave’s con­tents for there is a risk of spontaneous com­bustion.
For the micro-wave and micro-wave + circular heating functions, the use of metallic cook­ware, forks, spoons, knives or metal staples or fasteners 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).
Please make sure children do not play with the appliance. Do not allow children to use
the micro-wave oven without supervision, 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 mitts to remove dishes from the oven. Some dishes absorb the heat of foods and, therefore, are 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 micro-wave oven because they run the risk of explosion, even after cooking is complete. Heating beverages in the micro-wave 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, a 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.
SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

1/ NOTICES TO THE USER
The micro-waves used for cooking are elec­tro-magnetic waves. They are commonly found in our environment in the form of radio­electric waves, light or infrared rays.
Their frequency is in the 2450 MHz range.
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 micro-waves, its molecules begin moving rapidly, which caus­es heating.
The penetration depth of waves into the food is approximately 2.5 cm; if the food is thicker, the core of the food will be cooked by con­duction, as in traditional cooking. It is valuable to note that the micro-waves trigger within the food a simple thermal phe­nomenon and that they are not harmful to one’s health.
This appliance’s packing materials are recy­clable. Recycle them and play a role in pro­tecting the environment by depositing them in municipal containers provided for this pur­pose.
Your appliance also contains vari­ous recyclable materials. It is there­fore marked with this logo to indi­cate that used appliances must not
be mixed with other waste. Recycling of the appliances organised by your manufacturer will thus be undertaken in optimum conditions, in accordance with European directive EC/2002/96 relating to electrical and electronic equipment waste. Consult your city hall or your retailer to find the drop-off points for used appliances that is nearest to your home. We thank you for your help in protecting the environment.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
2 / INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE
Warning:
Ensure that your appliance has not suf­fered any damage during transport (deformed seal or door, etc...). If you see any kind of damage, before doing anything else, contact your retailer.
In order to easily locate the reference infor­mation for your appliance, we recommend that you note these data on the “After-Sales Service Department and Customer Relations” page.
Ensure that:
- The electrical installation has sufficient volt­age.
- The electrical wires are in good condition.
- The diameter of the wires complies with the
installation requirements.
- Your electrical installation is equipped with
16-ampere thermal-sensitive protection.
In case of doubt, consult your electrician­installer.
The electrical connections are made before the appliance is installed in its housing.
Electrical safety must be provided by a cor­rect build-in. During installation and mainte­nance operations, the appliance must be unplugged from the electrical grid; fuses must be cut off or removed.
The oven must be connected with a power cable (standardized) with three 1.5 mm² con­ductors (1 ph +1 N + ground) that must be connected to a monophase 220-240 V net­work via a CEI 60083 standardised receptacle (1 ph +1 N + ground lead) or in accordance with installation rules. The safety wire (green­yellow) is connected to the appliance’s ground terminal.
In the case of connections with an electric receptacle, it must remain accessible after installation of the appliance. The oven’s neutral conductor (blue wire) must be connected to the network’s neutral conductor.
In your electrical installation, allow for a user­accessible device that must be able to sepa­rate the appliance from the main power sup­ply and whose contact opening is at least 3 mm above all the terminals.
If the power cable is damaged, it should be replaced by the manufacturer, its after-sales service department or by a qualified person to avoid danger.

GUIDE TO AUTOMATIC COOKING FUNCTIONS
Meat
red
Meat
white
This function allows you to cook and brown roasts that weigh 500 g ­2000 g. Cooking is carried out through a combination of the micro-wave + circular heating and microwave + grill functions. Use a dish suitable for micro-wave ovens that resists high temperatures, preferably in terra cotta (less splattering than in a glass dish). When pos­sible, cook roasts without fatty exterior layers to avoid smoke and grease splattering. You will achieve better results with thinner roasts. Remove the meat from the refrigerator and let it come to room tem­perature one hour before placing it in the oven. Place the dish on the grid inserted at level 2. After cooking, wrap the roast in aluminium paper and let it stand for 10 minutes. The roast will be juicier. Season when cooking is finished.
Fish
This function allows you to cook and brown fish weighting 100g - 1000 g. All fish types can be cooked in the micro-wave oven. Just make sure that the fish
is fresh. Cooking is carried out in the
micro-wave mode.
You can cook fish in filets, slices or whole. If you would like to cook a whole fish, cut notches into the thickest part to obtain best results.
Place the fish in a round or oval dish for micro-wave use, add two to three table­spoons water, lemon juice or white wine and cover with the dish’s lid or plastic food wrap; season after cooking.
Place the dish on the turntable.
Poultry
This function
allows you to
cook and brown a whole chicken
or chicken
parts (thighs) weighing 500 g - 2000 g. Cooking is carried out through the combined micro-wave oven + circular
and/or grill mode. Use a dish suitable for micro-wave ovens that resists high temperatures, preferably earthenware (less splattering than in a glass dish). Before cooking pierce the skin to avoid splattering.
Add oil, salt and pepper to the poultry and sprinkle with spices if desired. Whole chicken: Place the dish on the grid at level 1.
Chicken thighs can be placed directly
on a glass drip tray. Up to 900 g,
insert the drip-tray at level 2. Once cooked, leave the chicken in the oven for five minutes before serving.
Vegetables

Pizza
Frozen
This function allows you to reheat and brown fresh pizza weighing between 100 g and 700 g. The weight to be entered should correspond to the pizza’s actual weight. Cooking is carried out using the micro-wave + circular heating mode. Remove the pizza from its packaging and place it directly on the grid insert­ed at level 2.
Tarts
This function allows you to cook and brown fresh tarts from 27 to 30 cm in diameter. Cooking is carried out through the micro-wave oven + circular heating mode. Use a micro-wave-safe tart mould that resists high temperatures (in Pyrex glass, porcelain, etc.). When you use ready-made crust, do not remove the parchment paper. Cut the excess paper to the dimensions of the dish. Place the tart mould on the grid inserted at level 2. Tips: Do not use a metallic mould.
Quiches
This function allows you to cook and brown fresh quiches from 27 to 30 cm in diameter. Cooking is carried out through the combined micro-wave + circular heating mode. Use a micro-wave-safe tart mould that resists high temperatures (in Pyrex glass, porcelain, etc.). When you use ready-made crust, do not remove the parchment paper. Cut the excess paper to the dimensions of the dish. Place the tart mould on the grid inserted at level 2. Tips: Do not use a metallic mould. Begin cooking the quiche as soon as the filling has been poured into the crust.
Never let the crust soak or it will not cook properly.

Using your micro-wave oven to defrost frozen food saves you a lot of time. To defrost food, use the Speed defrost function of the MO +/- function, set to power level 200 W (defrost).
Note: 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 them sit for at least as long as the time they spent in the defrosting programme so that they reach an even temperature.
Foods covered with ice crystals will take longer to defrost. In this case, you can increase the defrost time.
Recommendations: The defrost time depends on the appliance type. It also depends on the shape, size, initial tem­perature and quality of the food.
In most cases, food should be removed from its packaging. Remember to remove the metal sta­ples from packaging.
Halfway through the defrost time, the pieces should be turned over, mixed and separated if they were frozen together.
If you defrost large pieces of meat or fish that prevent the rotation of the turntable, engage the Stop Turntable function. If you do this, remember to stir food regularly.
Defrost the meat and fish by placing it on an upside-down saucer positioned on a plate; this allows juices to flow out. If it stays in contact with the food, it will overheat. Never refreeze food unless it has been cooked.
Length of defrost programmes: The durations of defrost programmes 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.
Choosing a programme :
Two automatic defrost programmes are available:
defrosting meats, poultry, fish, vegetables, ready-made dishes
defrosting bread and pastry
Choose the 200 W micro-wave function (defrosting power level) if you want to defrost quantities that are not offered by the SPEED DEFROST programmes. Enter the desired defrosting time. You can refer to the following table for sug­gested defrosting times.

Speed defrost Display
Turn the function selector to choose the “Speed Defrost” function. The correspond­ing display lights up. 50 g appears in the display.
Turn the +/- buttons to adjust the weight, e.g. 400 g. Confirm by pressing START/STOP.
The necessary programme time is automat­ically calculated (e.g. 2 min 45 sec). The time appears in the display with the appropriate functions for defrosting. The programme begins.
Comments
:
Proceed in the same manner for breads and Danish pastries, choosing the specific speed Defrost function
.
The defrost time is automatically calculated based on the weight of the food. This may depend on the initial temperature of the food (the times are calculated for food frozen at -18°C).
For foods weighing over 350 g (except for bread/pastry), a beep is sounded halfway through the Speed Defrost programme to remind you that
it is time to turn over the food to achieve
better
results; the word
is displayed. Close the door after turning the food and press
START/STOP
to continue the defrosting programme.
With the speed defrost function, the defrost time cannot be modified. To achieve even results, the
STOP TURNTABLE
function cannot be used with the Speed Defrost
function. As for foods that do not appear in the food category recommendations, use the 200 W MO +/- func-
tion. Refer to the comments below to find the RECOMMENDED PROGRAMME TIMES.
Choose the defrost programme that corresponds to the type and quantity of food that you wish to defrost and the automatic “Speed defrost” function will programme the appropriate defrosting time.

This function enables you to cook and brown foods such as au gratin dishes and meats. It can be used before or after cooking, depending on the recipe.
Please note
:
The accessible areas of the oven can become hot when the grill is used. It is advisable to keep small children at bay. If the appliance is being used in combined mode, it is recommended that children only use the oven under adult supervision because of the temperatures generated. When using the grill, you must protect your hands when removing dishes and use cookware that resists high temperatures, such as Pyrex glass or ceramic.
There are two grill settings: Medium grill and High grill. As a general rule, it is recommended that you use the highGRILL setting to grill meats and fish and the medium grill setting in the MO + medium grill mode to gratinate or brown more delicate food. Insert the accessories (grid or drip tray) at level 1, 2 or 3, based on the height of the cook­ware or the food.

You can preheat your micro-wave oven for circulating heat programmes just as you would a traditional oven.
Please note
:
Never preheat your oven in the Circulating Heat + Micro-wave mode because this could damage the appliance.
Recommendations:
The cooking temperature can be adjusted in increments of 10°C, from 50°C to 250°C. The cooking time ranges from 0 to 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 accessories (grid or drip tray) at level 1 or 2. This will ensure better heat distribution and optimum cooking results. Use cookware designed to resist high temperatures. Protect your hands when you remove the dish because the cookware may reach high temperatures. If you want to defrost food after using the circulating heat function, we recommend that you let your oven cool down for 10 minutes; this will give you better results.
Cooking on two levels:
To cook 2 apples tarts at the same time, 1 hour at 200°C. We recommend preparing the first tart in the glass drip tray inserted at level 1 and the second in a tart dish on the grid inserted at level
3. Change the position of the two dishes half-way through cooking.
