Important

• Read the user instructions carefully before using the appliance for the first time.

• Do not allow children near the oven when in use.

• Do not perform maintenance or cleaning of the oven without first switching off the electricity supply. If the oven

has recently been used, allow to cool.

• Clean the appliance regularly.

• Remove spills as soon as they occur.

• Do not use abrasive cleaners or powders that will scratch the surface of the enamel.

• Do not allow vinegar, coffee, milk, saltwater, lemon or tomato juice to remain in contact with enamel parts.

Check the door seal and door frame regularly to ensure they are not damaged.

• Do not attempt to repair the internal workings of your oven.

Only open the door using the handle

The microwave will not function if the door is not closed correctly.

The internal light will switch off automatically three minutes after the door is opened.

To eliminate moisture, this appliance is equipped with a delayed cooling function. The cooling fan will continue to run
after the end of the programme and will stop automatically when it is no longer required.

It is possible to adjust the cooking time during cooking. This option is not available on the preset defrost programmes.

This appliance is designed to operate on all functions with the door closed.

Never operate the microwave when empty or without the turntable in place to prevent damage to your appliance.

Do not tamper with the openings on the lock on the front of the appliance. This could damage the appliance and may
not be covered by the warranty.

Do not cook food or liquids in sealed containers as there is a risk they may explode. This includes baby bottles with the
teat in place.

Baby milk and baby food must be stirred thoroughly after cooking and the temperature checked before consumption to
ensure even temperature distribution and to prevent injury.

Heating liquids in the microwave can cause sudden or delayed eruption, so care must be taken when handling their
containers.

Do not cook eggs in their shells or whole hardboiled eggs in the microwave as there is a risk they may explode, even
after cooking has ended.

When heating small quantities of food (e.g. a sausage or a slice of bread), place a glass of water next to the food for best
results.

Excessive cooking times may dry out or burn food. Do not use the recommended cooking times for a conventional
oven when cooking in your appliance.

Cover food with plastic microwave-safe food wrap or an inverted plate before cooking.

Use only microwave safe utensils. The use of metallic cookware, forks, spoons, knives or metal staples and fasteners for
defrosting bags is not recommended.

Always use oven gloves to remove dishes from the oven. Some dishes will absorb the heat from the food and so are hot
to the touch after cooking.

When cooking or reheating items in paper or plastic containers, you should monitor the microwave contents due the
risk of combustion.

If you see smoke inside the microwave, stop the programme, switch off the power at the plug and leave the door closed
to stifle any flames inside the cavity.

How your appliance works

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 2450 MHz range.

The microwaves are reflected by metals, but 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 the waves into the food is

approximately 2.5 cm. If the food is thicker, the centre of

the food will be cooked by conduction, as in conventional

cooking.

Please note: The microwaves cause a simple thermal

phenomenon within food and are not harmful to

health.

Using the touch control

The touch controls should be used with the flat of your finger,

rather than the fingertip.

Turntable Operation

The turntable (A in figure 4) rotates to allow food to be

cooked evenly without needing to stop the programme and

turn the food by hand. It rotates in either direction. The

turntable can also be used as a cooking dish. To remove it

after use, lift it using the access areas provided in the base

of the cavity.

If the turntable does not turn, first check that it has not been

turned off (touch

programmes), then ensure all parts of the turntable and

mechanism are correctly in position. Never try to rotate the

turntable by hand. This can damage the drive mechanism (B

in figure 4) and may invalidate your warranty.

You should also check there is nothing obstructing the guide

wheels (C in figure 4).

Fitting Out Your Appliance

1. Side racks

The side racks allow three different cooking heights for the

drip tray and shelf (figure 5).

When cooking using the grill or combination grill

programmes, use the drip tray or shelf at height 1 for thick

foods such as roasts, and at height 3 for thin foods such as

bacon or chops.

When cooking using the fan oven or combination fan oven

programmes, use the drip tray or shelf at height 1 or 2

depending on the dish.

To put the side racks into place, hold the side rack at an angle

(figure 6), locate the top of the side rack in the hooks at

front and back of each side of the cavity, then lower the rack

to vertical.

2. Drip tray

The enamel drip tray can be used for baking cakes or placed

underneath the shelf to collect the juices from grilling (figure

7). Avoid placing roasts or meats directly in the drip tray, as

this will cause significant splattering on the oven walls.

Never use the drip tray on microwave or combination

programmes.

For the best performance, ensure the drip tray is centred on

the side racks – do not push the tray all the way to the back

of the cavity.

3. Shelf

The metal shelf can be used for toasting, browning

and grilling.

The shelf can be used on microwave or combination

programmes. If the food to be cooked is in an aluminium

container, this should be placed on a plate on the shelf. To

not leave metal cookware in contact with the shelf when the

microwave is on.

Fig. 5

Fig. 6

4. Glass tray

The glass tray can be used as a cooking dish, half-filled with

water as a bain-marie/double boiler, or as an alternate to the

enamel drip tray.

For the best performance, ensure the drip tray is centred on

the side racks – do not push the tray all the way to the back

of the cavity.
