Leave sufficient space around the oven :
- 5 cm between the sides of the oven
and any walls or objects
- 14 cm above the oven
- 10 cm behind the oven.
LOCATION
BEFORE CONNECTION
•
Check whether your oven has suffered any damage during transport (deformed door or
door seal, etc.). If you see any signs of damage, contact your dealer before use.
•
Verify the power voltage. If there is a PERMANENT undervoltage (200-210 volts), consult your
electrical installer.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
•
The appliance should be installed at a distance of 85 cm above floor.
•
Place the oven on a flat and horizontal surface, away from any source of heat or
steam. To ensure the stability of the microwave oven, the front left foot is
adjustable (5 positions). Turn it to raise or lower the appliance.
•
Make sure that air may circulate freely around the oven.
•
Make sure that nothing obstructs the ventilation louvers at the back of the appliance.
•
Make sure the electrical plug will be accessible after installation.
•
Do not use your appliance immediatly (wait approx. 1-2 hours) after transfer from a cold
place to a warm place as condensation may cause a malfunction.
•
Your installation must be protected by a 13 Amp thermal fuse.
•
It is mandatory to use a power point with a ground terminal, connected in accordance with
current safety regulations.
•
In your electrical installation, provide a device that is accessible to the installer, capable of
separating the appliance from the mains power and whose contact opening is at least 3 mm
at all of the poles.
•
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

WARNING
• Your appliance is designed exclusively for the domestic purposes of defrosting, heating or
cooking foods. The manufacturer bears no responsibility in the case of improper usage.
• Only use ustensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
• To avoid deterioration of your microwave oven, never operate it empty or without the
turntable.
• Never tamper with the lock mechanism of your microwave oven; you could cause damage
requiring repair by an authorised technician.
• When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the
possibility of ignition.
• It is not advisable to use metal recipients, forks, spoons, knives, metal ties or staples for
deep-freeze bags.
• The contents of feeding bottles are baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the
temperature checked before consumption in order to avoid burns.
• Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions
have been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands
the hazards of improper use.
• Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers they are liable to explode.
• Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens
since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended.
• Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care
must be taken when handling the container.
• For small amounts (one sausage, a single croissant, etc.), place a glass of water alongside the food item.
• Time settings that are too long may dry out and burn the food. To avoid such incidents,
never use the same cooking times as those recommended for traditional ovens.
• If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in
order to stifle any flames.
• In order to evacuate moisture, your appliance is fitted with a delayed ventilation function. Depending on the applied cooking mode (solo/grill/combination), the oven ventilation will continue to operate after the cooking end.
11
• THE TURNTABLE :
Ensures equal cooking of food throughout with no need to intervene.
- It may be used as a cooking dish.
- Rotation is controlled by the drive shaft and the wheel support.
- The turntable rotates in both directions.
- If it does not turn, verify that all components are properly positioned.
•
TURNTABLE OFF :
Stops the turntable from revolving in order to use platters which require the entire oven
space. When stopped, remember to stir the contents or turn the dish midway through
the programme.
• THE WHEEL SUPPORT :
Do not try to rotate the roller ring manually, as you could damage the drive system.
If it does not turn smoothly, make sure that there is nothing in the well beneath the
turntable.

THE PIZZA FUNCTION
2 cooking methods :
• Without preheating - by using the Pizza function you can cook and brown most
frozen meals and fresh, dough-based dishes without preheating the Pizza dish. They
turn out as crispy as if cooked in a traditional oven.
• With preheating - the Pizza dish can be preheated using the Pizza key for a maxi-
mum of 2 minutes. Preheating is recommended to cook or brown small pieces of
meat or fish and some dough-based, frozen and take-out dishes.
• Take foods out of their metallic or plastic packaging before cooking or reheating
them with the Pizza function.
• It is advisable to program shorter cooking times and extend if necessary.
• All foods with a skin or wrapping, such as potatoes and sausages, must be pierced
before cooking.
• Make sure pieces of meat are completely thawed out and dried off before searing
with the Pizza function.
• Keep an eye on the food’s coloring, just as you would with a traditional oven.
• Protect your hands when taking out the dish because it can be extremely hot.
• Do not serve stuffed foods (apple pastry for example) too quickly because they can
be warm on the surface whereas the filling is extremely hot.
• Cooking or reheating of eggs with the Pizza function is prohibited.
• If you wish to cook several dishes consecutively with the Pizza function, allow the
oven to cool 10 minutes between dishes for better browning.
Recommendations :
With the Pizza function you can save time and energy cooking your favorite dishes and
have them turn out as crispy, tasty and golden brown as if cooked in a traditional oven.
• Use of the Pizza key together with the Pizza dish, allows you to use the grill and
microwave functions simultaneously.
• The Pizza dish features a special coating that absorbs microwaves through its bot-
tom.
• It radiates heat from below the food to cook or reheat it, giving it the required color
and crispness while the grill browns the top.

Care of the Pizza dish
• The inside of the dish is covered with a non-stick coating,
so it is not necessary to grease it before use.
• Do not cut foods directly in the Pizza dish as this damages
the non-stick coating.
• The Pizza dish is dishwasher-safe.
• Use a sponge, hot water and dishwashing liquid
to wash the dish. Do not use a metallic sponge
or scouring powder.
Recommendations
• Do not place the Pizza dish on the rack; this could
cause irremediable damage to your oven.
• Do not place the Pizza dish in a traditional oven, on
gas, electric or other stoves or on any very hot surface.
• Do not leave any utensils in a hot Pizza dish as the high temperature may damage
them.
