CHAPTER 1 – GENERAL
1.1 IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
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) The following warnings must be considered when the door is open: Do not
place heavy object on the door or pull the handle downwards any further as
the appliance may tip over. Never place hot containers or pans (e.g. just taken
off the stove) on the door.
8) Do not operate the oven if the supply cable or the plug is damaged, as this
may result in electric shocks.
9) If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and KEEP THE DOOR
CLOSED in order to stifle any flames.
10) 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.
11) Never place the turntable in water after it has ben heated for a long time. The
high thermal shock resulting would break the turntable.
12) When cooking "Only MICROWAVE" and "COMBINED WITH 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.
13) 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").
14) During the use the appliance becomes hot. Do not touch the heating elements
inside the oven.
15) 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.
16) Do not heat spirit with a high alcohol content, nor large quantities of oil, as
these could catch fire !

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.
1.3 INSTALLATION AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
1) Remove the oven from the packaging. When moving the appliance, never use the door handle as a grip.
Remove the protective wrapping from the turntable (H), support (I) and the
accessories. Check that the turntable spindle (D) is correctly inserted in the corresponding groove in the centre of the turntable.
2) Clean the inside with a soft, damp cloth.
3) Check that there is no damage as a result of transportation, and in particular
that the door opens and closes properly.
4) Place the appliance on a flat, stable surface at a height of at least 85 cm, out of
the reach of children, since the door can become very hot during cooking.
5) When positioning the appliance on the worktop, make sure that there a gap
o approx. 5 cm between the surfaces of the appliance and the rear and side
walls, and a gap of at least 25 cm above the oven (fig. 6).
6) Do not block the air intake vents. In particular, do not place any objects on top of
the oven and check that the air and steam outlets (placed on the top, on the bottom and or on the back of the appliance) are ALWAYS FREE OF OBSTRUCTIONS
(fig. 7).
7) Place the support (I) in the centre of the circular groove and attach the turntable (H) to it. The spindle (D) should be inserted in the corresponding groove in the centre of the turntable.
17) 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.

1.5 OVENWARE TO BE USED
In the “Microwave Only” and “Microwave Combined” modes, all types of containers in glass (preferably
Pyrex), ceramics, china and terra-cotta may be used provided that they are undecorated and free of metal
parts (i.e. gilt trimmings, handles, feet etc.). 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.
Paper napkins, cardboard trays and disposable plastic plates can also be used for short cooking times. The
size and shape of the containers must be such as to allow them to rotate properly inside the oven.
Metal, wood, cane and crystal containers are not suitable for microwave cooking.
It is worth remembering that - since microwaves heat the food, not the dish - it is possible to cook the food
directly on the plate on which it is to be served. This means that you do not need to use, and wash up, saucepans. However, remember that heat may be transferred from the food itself to the plate, making it necessary
to use an oven glove.
If the oven has the “Grill only” setting, all types of oven containers may be used.
In any case, observe the guidelines shown in the following table:

1.6 RULES AND GENERAL SUGGESTIONS FOR USING THE OVEN
chapter 1 - general
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.
Basic rules for correct cooking with a microwave oven
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, frank-
furters, 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. 9).
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. 10):
6) The lower the temperature at which a foodstuff 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 better when covered. The covering of food also helps keep the oven clean on the inside. Use
clear-sheet made expressly for microwave ovens.
7) Do not cook eggs in their shells (fig. 11): the pressure which builds up on the
inside would cause the egg to explode, even after cooking has finished. Do
not heat up eggs which have already been cooked, unless they are scrambled.
8) Do not forget to open containers which are air-tight or sealed before heating
or cooking food in the oven. The pressure on the inside of the container would
rise, causing them to explode even after cooking has finished.

Once the cooking procedure has begun, the programmed time can be modified with the TIME ADJUST (8) knob
to a maximum time limit of 60 minutes.
2.6 CHILD SAFETY
The oven is equipped with a safety device which prevents pre-set cooking times from being tampered with
while the cooking is underway, in order to avoid accidental and dangerous extensions to the cooking time
which might cause the food to burn.
To activate the safety device:
• Keep the key (7) pressed down for 5 seconds.

3.1 DEFROSTING
•Frozen food in plastic bags, plastic film or cardboard packets can be placed directly in the oven for defrosting as
long as the packet has no metal parts (e.g. metal ties or staples).
• Certain foods, such as vegetables and fish, do not require complete defrosting before being cooked.
• Boiled foods, stews and meat sauces defrost better and more quickly if they are stirred from time to time, turned
over and/or separated.
• Meat, fish and fruit lose a certain amount of liquid during defrosting. Defrost these foods in a bowl.
• It is advisable to separate each individual piece of meat into its own bag before putting it into the freezer. This will
enable you to save precious preparation time.
• It is important to observe the standing times immediately after defrosting, before cooking; the standing time (in
minutes) is the length of time for which the food must be left to stand to allow the heat to continue spreading evenly
in the food.

3.2 REHEATING
Reheating food is one of the modes in which your microwave oven displays all its usefulness and efficiency. Compared to
traditional methods, using a microwave obviously saves time and therefore electricity.
• It is advisable to reheat food (especially if it is frozen) to a temperature of at least 70°C (it must be piping hot). This means
the food will not be ready to eat immediately because it is too hot!) but it will be completely sterilised.
• In order to reheat pre-cooked or frozen food, always observe the following rules:
- always remove the food from metal containers
- cover it with transparent film (of the kind suitable for microwave ovens) or grease proof paper so that all the natural fla-
vour is preserved and the oven will stay cleaner; the food may also be covered with a an upturned plate;
- if possible, stir or turn the food frequently in order to speed up the reheating process and to make it cook more evenly;
- follow the cooking times shown on the packet with considerable caution; remember that, under certain conditions, the
times shown must be increased.
•Frozen food must be defrosted before being reheated. The lower the initial temperature of the food, the longer the reheating time will have to be.
Note: some dishes can also easily be reheated by using the “AUTOMATIC FUNCTION” pre-memorised recipes (see table on
page 46).

3.3 - COOKING WITH THE "CROKANT" FUNCTION (NOT FOR ALL MODELS)
This function enables all commercially available FROZEN snack products to be cooked/heated. These include:
bread, savoury snacks, mini-pizzas, pies, flavoured hamburgers, duchesse potatoes, puff-pastry snacks,
croissants, etc.
To obtain the best results, bear these simple rules/tips in mind:
1. The special "CROKANT" dish should ALWAYS be preheated before each cooking operation with the oven in
automatic, after setting the "Sn" programme and pressing the button (13).
2. ALWAYS consult the table (on the following page) before each cooking operation to verify the category of the
food to be cooked.
Proceed as follows:
Press the "CROKANT" button
(14) repeatedly until the required category is displayed (each time the button is pressed, the display will visualise "Sn01", "Sn02", "Sn03" etc). The LED
above the function will light up.
1
Once the category is chosen, place
the "CROKANT" dish in the oven
(directly on the turntable), close the
door and press the button (13).
The oven will heat the dish automatically for two minutes, alternating in
the display the words "PrE - HEAt"
(preheating).
2
At the end of preheating (indicated
with four "beeps"), remove the
"CROKANT" dish from the oven with
the help of an oven cloth to avoid
burns and place the food to be
cooked/heated on the dish.
Replace the "CROKANT" dish in the
oven and press the button (13)
again. The time left until the end of
cooking will be displayed and the
microwave power level will light up.
3
IMPORTANT: while cooking/heating the food, the oven operates in combigrill mode. Great care should thus
be taken when removing the food from the oven as both the "CROKANT" dish and the element in the top
of the cavity will be very hot.

chapter 3 – using the oven: suggestions and time grids
A number of useful tips for getting the best from this function and obtaining optimum results are given
below.
NOTES/TIPS WHAT YOU CAN DO
CATEGORY
This category is recommended for
cooking/heating all commercially available
frozen bread sticks (baguettes) and rolls. It can
also be used to reheat commercially available
precooked slices of pizza (max. 200 g) (speedy
pizza) and slices of pie (150-180 g).
Never cook more than 300 g
of bread (4-5 pieces) at a time.
To avoid burns, when the
bread is removed from the
oven, break it to release the
heat contained in the soft part.
This category is recommended for cooking raw
mini-pizzas (max. 10-12 pieces). Depending on
the type of mini-pizza, they can be cooked either
in this category or in the "Sn03" category. It
should also be used for heating chicken nuggets
or cooking hamburgers (max. 2 or 150 g).
Leave a space between the
mini-pizzas as they rise during
cooking and if they overlap
will not cook evenly.
Hamburgers should be turned
halfway through cooking.
This category is recommended for cooking
hamburgers (max. 3-4 or 300 g), savoury
snacks (max. 280 g) and all types of potatoes
(croquettes, duchesse, etc).
Hamburgers should be turned
halfway through cooking.
Leave a space between
savoury snacks and minipizzas to avoid them sticking
together.
This category is recommended for heating all
types of commercially-available frozen but
precooked pies (vegetable, cheese, etc). It can
also be used to cook raw frozen croissants (min.
3-4 pieces) and savoury snacks (min. 300 g).
Leave a space between the
croissants or savoury snacks as
they expand during cooking
and could stick together (thus
remaining raw).
This category is recommended for cooking
commercially-available frozen and completely
raw pies and flans (Easter pie, artichoke pie,
ricotta and spinach pie) (requiring cooking, not
just heating).
Remove the pie from the
wrapping and rest it directly on
the preheated "CROKANT"
dish. Recommended for pies
weighing about 700 g.

3.4 - COOKING ANTIPASTI AND FIRST COURSES
Vegetable soups and other soups in general require less liquid because in a microwave oven evaporation is rather
minimal. Salt must be added only at the end of cooking or during standing time as it dehydrates the food.
It is fair to say that the time needed to cook rice in the microwave oven (as indeed for pasta) is more or less equal to
that needed to cook it on a stove in the traditional manner. The advantage of preparing a risotto in a microwave
oven is that it does not need stirring continually (this only needs to be done 2 or 3 times).

Suitable times for raw pasta. If the pasta is pre-cooked, 8 minutes of Combined
MICROGRILL cooking is enough.
Avoid piling them up too heavily
The pasta should have previously been boiled separately.
The ingredients should all be placed together in a container suitable for
microwaves and covered with transparent film (750 g of clear soup is needed
for 300 g of rice with the microwaves on full power for approx. 10-12
minutes).
3.5 - COOKING MEAT
Cooking is closely linked to the size and uniformity of the food which is to be cooked: kebabs cook before a roast
because they consist of smaller, more evenly-sized pieces of meat. To keep roasts, chicken and kebabs moist, it is
advisable to add 1 or 2 cups of water at the start of cooking.

3.6 - COOKING SIDE DISHES AND VEGETABLES
Vegetables cooked in a microwave oven preserve their colour and nutritional value better than in traditional cooking.
Wash and peel the vegetables before starting to cook.
The larger vegetables should be cut into evenly-sized pieces.
Add approx. 5 spoonfuls of water for every 500g of vegetables (vegetables which have a high fibre content require more water).
The vegetables should always be covered with transparent film.
Stir at least once halfway through cooking and add a little salt only at the end.
Warning: the cooking times in the table are purely intended as guidelines and are on the basis of the food’s weight and initial temperature as well as its consistency and structure.

3.8 - COOKING 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).

3.10 - SIMULTANEOUS COOKING ON 2 LEVELS
By using the spacer low wire rack (F) with the microwave-only function, you can defrost, reheat and cook foods
at the same time, even different dishes on two levels. The special double-microwave-emission system makes
possible, in fact, a perfect distribution of energy.
When you wish to cook two food dishes at the same time, all you have to do is keep these basic rules in mind:
1) The cooking times for food dishes cooked at the same time are different from those for the cooking of single
dishes. So always consult the reference table on page 48.
2) Be careful to ALWAYS place on the LOW WIRE RACK t that food which requires less cookig time: it will
thus be easier to remove the upper pan.
Take the grill out and finish cooking the food underneath.
3) Pay strict attention to the indications and recommendations in the tables. In particular, always check to be sure that the
food being reheated is very hot before removing it from the oven.

The internal cavity of your oven is covered with a special enamel to which splashes and food particles do not stick, thus making cleaning particularly simple.
Always keep the microwave outlet cover (C) clean and free from grease and
splashes of fat.
Do not use abrasive detergents, wire sponges and sharp metal utensils when
cleaning the external surface of the oven. Also be careful to ensure that water or
liquid detergent does not penetrate the air and steam vent grilles on the top of
the appliance.
It is also advisable not to use alcohol, abrasive detergents or ammonia-based
detergents to clean the internal and external surfaces of the door.
Always keep the inside of the door clean to ensure that it closes properly, so that
dirt and food residues do not become trapped between the door and the front
panel of the oven.
Clean the air inlet holes placed on the back of the oven regularly, to avoid
them becoming blocked over the course of time by dust and dirt deposits.
It is necessary to remove the turntable (H) and its corresponding support (I)
periodically in order to clean them; the bottom of the oven should also be cleaned.
Wash the turntable and its support in soapy water using neutral soap. They can
also be washed in a dishwasher.
Do not immerse the turntable in cold water after prolonged heating; the sudden change in temperature would cause it to crack.
The turntable motor is sealed. Nevertheless, be careful to avoid the water penetrating under the turntable spindle (D) when the bottom of the oven is being cleaned.

chapter 4 – cleaning and maintenance
CAUSE/SOLUTION
• The door is not closed properly.
• The plug is not correctly inserted.
• No power at the socket
No power at the socket (check the fuse box)
• When food is cooked which contains water it is quite normal
for the steam which is generated inside the oven to escape
and condense inside the oven, on the cooking surface or
around the doorframe.
• Do not turn the oven on without food for Microwave
and Combined cooking modes.
• Do not use metal containers for the above cooking modes
or bags or packets with metal parts.
• Select the correct cooking mode or reduce the cooking
time.
• The food has not been completely defrosted before being
cooked.
• Select the correct cooking mode or reduce the cooking
time.
• Stir the food during cooking. Remember that food cooks
better when cut in evenly-sized pieces.
• The turntable is blocked.
PROBLEM

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.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (U.K. ONLY)
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 re-fitted
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:
