Read carefully these instructions and keep for future reference
1) WARNING: If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has
been repaired by a competent person (trained by the manufacturer or by its Customer Service).
2) WARNING: It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or
repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure
to microwave energy.
3) WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed
containers since 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.
4) WARNING: 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. Do not allow children near the oven when it is in operation, as this may
result in severe burns.
5) Do not attempt to operate the oven with the door open by tampering with
the safety devices.
6) Do not operate the oven if objects for any kind get stuck between the
front panel of the oven and the door. Always keep the inside of the door
(E) clean, using a damp cloth and non-abrasive detergents. Do not
allow dirt or remains of food to accumulate between the front panel of
the oven on the door.
7) Do not operate the oven if the supply cable or the plug is damaged, as this may
result in electric shocks.
8) If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and KEEP THE DOOR
CLOSED in order to stifle any flames.
9) Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens. In order to avoid
overheating and the consequent risk of fire, it is advisable to supervise the oven when cooking
food in disposable containers made of plastic, cardboard or other inflammable materials, and
when heating small quantities of food.
10) Never place the turntable in water after it has ben heated for a long time. The high thermal shock
resulting would break the turntable.
11) When cooking "Only MICROWAVE", you absolutely must not pre-heat the oven (without
foodstuffs in it) and you must not operate it when it is empty, because you might cause sparking.
12) Before using this oven, check to be certain that the utensil and containers chosen are suitable for
microwave oven use (see the section on "Glassware and Similar Items").
13) During the use the appliance becomes hot. Do not touch the heating elements inside the oven.
14) When heating liquids (water, coffee, milk, etc.) it is possible that the contents may suddenly start
to boil and spill violently as a result of delayed boiling, causing scalding. To avoid this
happening, you should place a heat-resistant plastic spoon or a glass rod in the container before
starting to heat liquids. Anyway, care shall be taken when handling the container.
15) Do not heat spirit with a high alcohol content, nor large quantities of oil, as these could catch fire!

INSTALLATION
Connect this equipment only to electrical outlets
having a capacity of at least 10A.
Before using this oven, check to make certain that
the electrical network is the same as that indicated
on the equipment’ s data plate and that the electrical
outlet is connected to an efficient grounding (earth)
terminal. The manufacturer shall not be responsi-
ble in any manner whatsoever for harm or damage caused by failure to observe this norm.
1) After having removed the oven from its box, check to make certain that the turntable spindle (D)
is correctly fitted into its housing. Place the turntable support (G) in the middle of the cooking
chamber and set the turntable (F) on top of it. The spindle (D) must be inserted in the related
turntable housing.
2) Check to make certain that this equipment has not been damaged in transport and check
especially to see if the door opens and closes correctly.
3) Set the oven on a flat, steady surface at least 85 cm. above the floor and out of the reach of
small children, because when the oven is operating its door can get very hot.
4) After having placed the oven on its work level, make sure that there is still a free space of at
least 5 cm. between the oven’s
surfaces and the side as well as
back walls, and a free space of
at least 20 cm. above the
oven (see Fig. 1). Also check
to make sure the feed cord is
not touching the
appliance’s rear wall,
because the wall itself can
get very hot while the grill is
being used.
5) Do not block the air intake. In particular, do not set anything atop
the oven and check to be certain that the air outlet slots (located
above, under and in the back of the oven) are ALWAYS FREE
from obstruction (see Figs. 2 and 3).

16) The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the
temperature shall be checked before consumption in order to avoid burns. It is also
advisable to stir or shake the food in order to ensure that it has an even temperature.
When using commercially available bottle sterilisers, before turning the oven on,
ALWAYS make sure the container is filled with the quantity of water indicated by the
manufacturer.
Quando si avvia l'apparecchio per la prima volta, è possibile che per un periodo
di 10 minuti circa, produca un odore di "nuovo" e un po' di fumo. Ció è causato
solamente dalla presenza di sostanze protettive applicate alle resistenze.
N.B. When the oven is used for the first time it is possible that, for a period of
approx. 10 minutes, it may produce a “new” smell and a small amount of smoke.
This is only a result of protective substances applied to the heating element.

You can make use of all types of containers
made of glass (preferably Pyrex), ceramics,
porcelain and glazed pottery as long as they do
not have decorations or metal parts (gilded
borders, handles, feet). Heat resistant plastic
containers can also be used, but only for
“Microwave Only” cooking. If you are still
doubtful about using a particular container, you
can perform a simple test. Place the empty
container in the oven for 30 seconds at
maximum power (“Microwave Only” function).
If the container is still cold or only slightly warm,
it is suitable for microwave cooking.
If it is very hot or gives out sparks, it is not
suitable. For short heating periods, you may use
paper napkins, cardboard trays and plastic
“throwaway” plates as a base. As far as shape
and size are concerned, it is absolutely essential
that containers be such as to allow the turntable
to rotate. In order to use large-size rectangular
containers (which may not be able to rotate
inside the cooking cavity), you can remove the
spindle (D) from its housing to prevent the
turntable (F) moving. Bear in mind that to be
assured of good results when carrying this out
you must stir the food and turn the container
around several times during the cooking
process. Containers made of metal, wood,
recycled kitchen paper, cane and plate glass
are not suitable for use in microwave ovens.
The metal rack supplied with your microwave
have been fully tested for safe use. You should
remember, too, that since microwaves heat the
food and not the glassware, earthenware or
similar containers for that food, it is possible to
cook such foods in the serving dish and thereby
avoid the problem of having to clean pans later.
If the oven is used in its grill only functions, any
type of oven container may be used (see chart).

1) In order to set cooking times correctly , remember (in referring to the charts on the following pages)
that when you increase the amount of foodstuffs the cooking temperature must likewise be proportionately increased and vice-versa. It is important to respect the “standing” times: standing
time means that period during which the food must be left to “rest” after being cooked so as to
allow an even greater spreading of the temperature within. The temperature of meat, for example, will rise about 5°-8° C. (approx. 9°-15° F.) during the standing time. Standing times may be
observed either inside or outside the oven.
2) One of the main things you must do is stir the food several times while it is being
cooked. This helps make the temperature distribution more uniform and thus
shortens the cooking time.
3) It is also advisable to turn the foodstuff over during its cooking process:
this applies especially for meat, whether it is in large pieces (roasts,
whole chickens, etc.) or small (chicken breasts, etc.).
4) Foods having a skin, shell or peel (e.g., apples, potatoes, tomatoes,
frankfurters, fish) must be pierced with a fork in several points so as
to permit steam to escape and to prevent those items from exploding (see
Fig. 4).
5) If you are preparing a large number of portions of the same food item (e.g.,
boiled potatoes), place those portions in a Pyrex dish in order to have them
cook in a uniform manner (see Fig. 5):
6) The lower the temperature at which a foodstuf f is placed in a microwave
oven, the longer the cooking time required. Food having a room temperature will cook more quickly than food having a refrigerator temperature.
7) Always do your cooking by placing the food container in the centre of the
turntable.
8) It is perfectly normal for condensation to form inside the oven and near the air outlet. To reduce
such condensation, cover the foodstuffs with clear-sheet, wax paper, a glass lid or simply an
overturned plate. Then, too, foods having a water content (e.g., greens and vegetables) cook bet-
ter when covered. The covering of food also helps keep the oven clean on the inside. Use clearsheet made expressly for microwave ovens.
Microwaves consist of electromagnetic radiation
found in nature under the form of light waves
(e.g., sunlight). Inside the oven, these waves
penetrate food from all directions and heat up the
water, fatty and sugar molecules.
Heat is produced very quickly only in the food
itself, whereas the container being used warms
up indirectly by means of heat given off by the
heated food. This prevents food from sticking to
its container , so you can use very little fatty substance or , in some cases, no fat at all during the
cooking process.
Therefore cooking in a microwave oven is considered to be healthy and good for one’s diet.
And in contrast to traditional methods, cooking
in a microwave foodstuffs are less dehydrated,
lose less of their nutritional value, and retain
more of their original flavour.

You can interrupt operations any time you wish simply by turning the lower knob (timer) to the STOP
position. You can also change the cooking time (while the foodstuff is being cooked) simply by turning
this same knob forward or backward. You can check on the situation while the cooking is in progress
by opening the door and examining the food. That move will interrupt the oven’s operations, but they
will begin again once the door has been closed.

• This function enables you to keep food hot, whether that food be just cooked or re-heated, without
having it get dry or stick to its container.
• Selecting the setting and covering the food with a plate or plastic film, you will find that
foods will remain warm up to serving time
• You can leave foods in their cooking container if they are covered.
28
• Foods frozen in bags or plastic sheeting or in their packaging may be placed directly in the oven,
as long as they have no metal parts (e.g., bands or closure rivets).
• Certain foods, such as greens, vegetables and fish, do not generally require defrosting before you
begin cooking them.
• Stewed foods and meats as well as meat sauces defrost better and quicker if they are stirred from
time to time, turned over or croken cup .
• While defrosting, meat and fish lose their liquid content. It is recommended, therefore, that you
defrost such items in a tray or basin.
• It is advisable to separate each individual piece of meat from its bag before putting it in the
freezer. This will help you save valuable time will preparing foods.
• Be careful about following the timings printed on frozen products, because they are guideline
and may not always be correct. It is best to use defrosting times slightly less than those indicated.
The time needed for defrosting will vary in terms of the degree to which the food has been frozen.

USING THE MICROWAVE-ONLY FUNCTION FOR RE-HEATING
Heating food in a microwave oven is much quicker and energy efficient than traditional methods.
• We recommend that you heat foodstuffs (especially if they are frozen) to a temperature of at least
70° C. (it must be piping hot!). Leave to stand for a few minutes as you will
not be able to eat that food immediately because it will be too hot.
• This will ensure that any possible bacteria present in food will have been
killed.
• To heat pre-cooked or frozen foods, follow these rules:
- remove the food from its metal containers;
- cover it with plastic wrap (the clear-film type suitable for microwave ovens) or wax paper; in
this way , all the food’s natural flavour will be preserved and the oven will stay cleaner; you may
also cover the food with an upside-down plate;
- if possible, stir or turn the food over frequently so as to speed up the heating process and keep
the heat uniform at the same time;
- follow the cooking times listed with great caution; remember that under certain conditions the
timings given must be lengthened
• Frozen foods must be defrosted before the heating process begins. The lower the food’ s initial temperature, the longer the time needed for heating.
• Foodstuffs and drinks may be heated briefly in paper or plastic containers. In any event, however, such containers may become misshapen if the heating time is too long.

GREENS AND VEGETABLES
Greens and vegetables cooked in a microwave oven retain more of their colour and nutritional value than when
cooked in traditional ovens. Before cooking greens and vegetables, wash and clean them.
Larger-sized varieties of this category are to be cut up into uniform pieces.
Per every 500 gr. of greens or vegetables add about 5 teaspoons of water (fibre-type vegetables need more
water). Greens and vegetables must always be covered with plastic wrap.
Stir greens and vegetables at least once at the halfway point. Add a little salt only at the end.

When using the microwave-only function to cook meat, you should cover the meat with plastic wrap made for
microwave oven use; in this way, the heat is distributed better and you will prevent the loss of juices that often
leads to dried-up and stringy meat. This oven function is suitable for making stews, goulash, chicken breasts, etc.
To prepare roasts and skewered meat dishes (among others), you must use the combined function.
FISH
In a microwave oven, fish can be prepared very quickly and with excellent results. You can season it with a little
oil or butter (or not season it at all, if you so prefer). Cover the fish with clear-sheet. The skin is to be slit, of course,
and filleted fish must be placed in a uniform fashion. We recommend that you not use this oven to cook fish which
has been dipped in egg batter.

SOUPS AND RICE
• Soups or broth usually require a smaller amount of liquid because the evaporation in
microwave ovens is rather limited. Because it is a dehydrating agent, salt must be added only
when the cooking is finished or during the standing time.
• It is correct to say that the temperature required for cooking rice in a microwave oven (as is true
also for pasta) is more or less the same as that needed to cook this foodstuff over a burner on a
regular stove. The advantage of preparing a risotto dish in a microwave oven lies in the fact that
you do not have to stir the rice constantly (two or three times is enough).
The ingredients are placed in a container suitable for microwave ovens and covered with plastic
wrap (for about 300 gr. of rice, you need 750 gr. of broth with the oven programmed at top
power for about 12 to 15 minutes). In addition, the rice will not stick to the bottom of its container
and, since it can be cooked in a tureen or some other such receptacle to be brought to the table,
you will not have to transfer that rice to a serving plate.
May be used in combination with any cream
whatsoever
To be filled with jam or jelly.
The pineapple slices can be laid on the bottom
of the pin plate or cut into pieces and mixed
into the dough.
The apples are spread on top as a decorative
effect.

FRUIT AND BAKED GOODS
Baked goods rise (at lower oven power) much more than then do with regular baking. Since no crust
is formed, it is better to garnish the surface portions with cream or icing (e.g., chocolate); in addition,
you must keep the item being baked fully covered, because such foodstuffs tend to dry out more quickly than those baked in a regular oven. Fruit is to be pierced if cooked with its peel on and is to be
kept covered: it is essential that you adhere to the standing time (3 to 5 minutes).

USING THE MICROWAVE-AND-GRILL SEQUENCE FUNCTION FOR COOKING
This setting is ideal for microwave cooking as well as for browning foodstuffs and giving them an
au gratin coating. You must, however, keep the following in mind:
• the oven is never to be pre-heated;
• do not spunkle with seasonings (just use 1/2 glass of water to keep the meat soft);
• turn roasts and large pieces of meat both halfway through the first stage (microwave cooking) and
halfway through the second (browning or au gratin o perations with the grill);
• to check on how the foodstuff is cooked, open the oven door. This will interrupt the microwave
operations during the first cooking stage and the grill operations during the second stage: in this
case, however, it is advisable to use oven gloves inasmuch as the heating element is very hot. To
resume the cooking,simply close the oven door.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before beginning any cleaning or maintenance, always pull this oven’s plug from the electrical
outlet and wait for the oven itself to cool down completely
Cleaning
Thanks to the special enamel coating on your oven’ s inner compartment, enamel which does not retain
the fatty splashes and food particles which normally build up inside an
oven, it is extremely easy to clean this appliance. Always keep the
microwave outlet cover (C) free of fat or splashed grease.
Never use abrasive detergents, steel wool or sharp metal
utensils. In addition, when cleaning the outside of the oven, be
careful not to let water or liquid detergent seep into the air outlet
and steam slots located atop the appliance.
We likewise recommend that you do not use alcohol, abrasive
detergents or ammonia-based detergents to clean the inside and outside
door surfaces.
To ensure perfect closing, always keep the inside of the door clean, and do
not let dirt and food residue get caught between the door and the
oven’s façade.
Clean the air inlet holes located on the back of the oven regularly so
that no dust or dirt will build up over time to obstruct those holes.
From time to time, it will be necessary to remove the turntable (H) and its support (I) and clean
them, just as it will be necessary to clean the bottom of the oven.
Wash the turntable and its support in warm soapy water with neutral soap. These parts may also be
cleaned in a dishwasher.
Do not place the turntable in cold water after the oven has been hot for a long time. The strong
thermal shock could cause the turntable to break.
The turntable’s motor is sealed tight. When you are cleaning the bottom of the oven, however, be
careful not to let water seep under the turntable spindle (D).

If something seems not to be working just right .....
If you should discover a flaw or defect, contact a Service Centre authorised by the manufacturer. In
any case, before calling our technicians, you should carry out the following simple checks:
problem cause/remedy
• The oven is not working
• Condensation on the cooking
rack and inside the oven.
• Sparks inside the oven.
• The food is not heating
sufficiently
• The food is burning
• The food is not cooking evenly
• The door is not properly closed.
• The plug is not properly inserted in the electric outlet.
• The outlet is not supplying power (check the building’s fuse
box).
• The knobs are not set correctly.
• When foods containing water are being cooked, it is
completely normal for the steam generated within the oven
to escape and to condense either inside the oven or on the
cooking rack.
• When using the microwave-only and combined functions,
do not turn the oven on unless there is already food inside
it.
• When cooking by microwaves, do not use metal
containers, bags, or packages with metal clips.
• Select the correct power level or increase the cooking time.
• The food was not completely defrosted before being
cooked.
• Use the correct cooking method or lower the cooking time.
• Stir the food while it is being cooked. Remember that
foodstuffs cook better when cut into uniform pieces.
• The turntable is not spinning.
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
Green and yellow: Earth
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond
with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows:
The green and yellow wire must be connected to the terminal in the
plug marked with the letter E or the earth symbol or coloured
green or green and yellow.
The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the
letter N or coloured black.
The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the
letter L or coloured red.
A) If your appliance comes fitted with a plug, it will incorporate
a 13 Amp fuse. If it does not fit your socket, the plug should
be cut off from the mains lead, and an appropriate plug
fitted, as below.
WARNING: Very carefully dispose of the cut off plug after
removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket
elsewhere in the house as this could cause a shock hazard.
With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse, the circuit must be
protected by a 15 Amp fuse.
If the plug is a moulded-on type, the fuse cover must be refitted when changing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta approved
fuse to BS 1362. In the event of losing the fuse cover , the plug
must NOT be used until a replacement fuse cover can be
obtained from your nearest electrical dealer. The colour of the
correct replacement fuse cover is that as marked on the base
of the plug.
B) If your appliance is not fitted with a plug, please follow the
instructions provided below:
In case oven-light is burned, you may continue to use the oven anyway. To replace the light, contact
authorised Assistance.
