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
(fig. 1).
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

1.2 TECHNICAL DATA
• ENERGY CONSUMPTION (CENELEC HD 376 norms)
To reach 200°C 0,3 kWh
To maintain a temperature of 200°C for an hour 1,1 kWh
Total consumption 1,4 kWh
• MICROWAVE OUTPUT POWER: 900W (IEC 705)
For further data, consult the data plate placed on the appliance.
This appliance conforms to E.E.C. directive no. 89/336 and 92/31 regarding Electromagnetic Compatibility,
and to directive 89/109/E.E.C. regarding materials which come into contact with food.
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 (fig. 4) 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 !
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.
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.
OUTPUT POWER
ONLY FOR SOME MODELS: The microwave output power is also indicated inside
this simbol, placed on the control panel.
(ONLY FOR U.K.) The letter indicates the heating category to which your oven
belongs: some pre-cooked food packages (frozen or chilled) give heating instructions corresponding to the various categories. Follow those instructions related to
the category indicated for your oven.
The microwave output power is written on the rating plate placed on the rear side of the appliance (see “MICRO
OUTPUT”). When you consult the tables, always look up your oven’s output power. It will be useful also when you
are consulting cookbooks intended for use with microwave ovens.

1.3 INSTALLATION AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
1) Unpack the oven.
2) Open the door and remove the internal protection containing the accessories as follows:
- Remove the two pieces of polystyrene at the sides of the cavity (fig. 6).
-Press the vertical panels outwards as indicated by the arrows (fig. 7).
- Pull out the packaging; make sure the vertical panels come out correctly
(fig. 8).
- Remove the turntable (H) and its protection. Make sure the turntable
spindle (D) is inserted correctly in the centre of the turntable.
3) Clean the inside with a soft, damp cloth.
4) Check that there is no damage as a result of transportation, and in particular that the door opens and closes properly.
5) 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.
6) 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.
9).
7) 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. 10).
8) 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.
N.B. The appliance must not be placed on or near sources of heat (for example on the refrigerator) (fig. 11).
9) Only connect the appliance to a power socket with a power capacity of at least
16A. Also make sure that the main switch installed in your home has a minimum
power capacity of 16A in order to avoid it suddenly tripping while the oven is on.
10)After the installation has been performed, the power supply cable and the
power socket must be easy to access.
11)Before use, check that the power supply voltage is the same as the one shown
on the rating label and that the power outlet is properly earthed: the manu-
facturer declines any liability if this safety norm is not observed.

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 clay 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.
Containers in heat-resistant plastic may also be used. 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 “Fan Oven Only” or “Grill only” settings, all types of ovenware 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 viceversa. 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.
9) 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.
10)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.
