CHAPTER 1: GENERAL
1.1 IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
Read these instructions carefully and keep them safe 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. The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm
persons. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
5) Do not tamper with the safety devices in an attempt to operate the oven with the door
open.
6) Do not operate the oven if objects of any kind get stuck between the front panel and
the door. Always keep the inside of the door (E) clean, using a damp cloth and nonabrasive detergents. Do not allow dirt or the remains of food to build up between the
front panel and the door (fig. 1).
7) Do not place heavy objects on the opened door or pull downwards sharply on the
handle. The oven could tip over. Never place hot containers or pans (e.g. just taken off the stove) on
the opened door (fig. 2).
8) If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
9) If smoke comes out of the oven, switch it off and unplug it immediately. KEEP THE DOOR CLOSED to
stifle any flames.
10)Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens. To avoid overheating and risk of fire,
always monitor 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 cold water when it is hot. Rapid cooling can cause it to crack.
12)Never preheat or operate the oven when empty in MICROWAVE, MICROWAVE FAN, or MICROWAVE GRILL modes, because this can could cause sparking.
13)Make sure that ovenware and containers are suitable for use in microwave ovens before using them in
the oven (see "Ovenware").
14)The temperature of the door or the outer surface may be high when the appliance is operating. Do not
place anything on top of the oven while in use. Do not touch the heating elements inside the oven.
15)Liquids like water, coffee, milk, etc. can boil with delayed action after heating in a microwave oven.
They can boil and spill suddenly, causing scalding. To avoid this, place a heat-resistant plastic spoon
or glass rod in the container before starting to heat liquids (fig. 4). Always take care when handling
containers full of hot liquids.

CHAPTER 1: GENERAL
16) Do not heat spirits with a high alcohol content, or large quantities of oil.
Both types of liquid are flammable!
17) To avoid burns, stir and shake the contents of feeding bottles and baby
food jars, and always check their temperature before feeding (fig. 5).
Stirring or shaking also ensures that the temperature of the food is
uniform throughout.
When using commercial bottle sterilisers, ALWAYS make sure that the
container is filled with the quantity of water specified by the manufacturer before starting heating.
NOTE: When you switch on the oven for the first time, it may produce
a “new” smell and even small amounts of smoke for the first ten minutes or so. This is normal and due to protective coatings applied the heating elements.

to E.E.C. directive 89/109 on materials which come into contact with food.
MICROWAVE OUTPUT POWER
The microwave output power is specified on the data plate on the rear of the oven (see “MICRO OUTPUT”).
When using cooking tables, always refer to the output power for your oven. This is specially important when
you use microwave cookery books.
On some models, the microwave output power is also stated inside this symbol
on the control panel.
1.3 INSTALLATION AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
1) Remove the oven from its box. Remove the protective packaging containing the turntable (H), its support ring (I), and all the oven accessories. Check that the turntable spindle (D) engages correctly in its
recess in the centre of the turntable.
2) Clean the inside of the oven with a soft, damp cloth.
3) Check that the oven has not been damaged during transport. Check in
particular that the door opens and closes properly.
4) Place the oven on a flat, stable surface at least 85 cm out of the reach of
children, since the door can become very hot during cooking.
5) When positioning the oven on the worktop, take care to maintain a
gap of approx. 5 cm between the oven and the walls to its rear and
sides, and a gap of at least 20 cm above the oven (fig. 6).

CHAPTER 1: GENERAL
6) Do not block the air intake vents. Do not place any objects on top of the
oven and check that the air and steam outlet vents (at the top, bottom
and/or rear of the oven) are ALWAYS UNOBSTRUCTED (fig. 7)
7) Place the turntable support ring (I) in the centre of the circular recess in
the oven floor and place the turntable (H) on top of it. Engage the spindle (D) with the recess in the centre of the turntable.
N.B. Do not position the oven on or near sources of heat (for example
on top of a refrigerator) (fig. 8).
8) Only connect the oven to a power socket rated at least 16A. Also make
sure that your home’s main switch is rated at least 16A to avoid sudden
power failures when the oven is switched on.
9) Position the oven in such a way that the power plug and socket are easily
accessible.
10)Before you switch on the oven, check that the mains voltage corresponds
to that specified on the oven’s data plate and that the power socket is pro-
perly earthed. The manufacturer declines all responsibility if this safety
precaution is not observed.

CHAPTER 1: GENERAL
1.5 OVENWARE
• AUTOMATIC MODE
In AUTOMATIC mode, always use the ovenware specified in the tables in section 3.2 - FOOD
CATEGORIES.
•MANUAL MODE
In MICRO, MICRO FAN and MICRO GRILL modes, any glass (preferably Pyrex), ceramic, china or
terracotta ovenware may be used provided it has no metal decorations or parts (e.g. gold paint
decorations, metal handles, feet etc.).
Heat resistant plastic containers may also be used, but only in MICRO mode.
If you are in doubt about the suitability of a particular dish, perform this simple test. Place the empty
dish in the oven and operate in MICRO mode for 30 seconds at maximum power level.
If after 30 seconds the dish is still cold or only slightly warm, it is suitable for microwave cooking. If it
is very hot or if it causes sparks while the oven is operating, it is not suitable.
Paper napkins, cardboard trays and disposable plastic plates can also be used underneath dishes for
short cooking times.
The size and shape of containers must allow them to rotate easily inside the oven.
Metal, wood, cane and crystal glass containers are not suitable for microwave cooking.
É opportuno ricordare che, poiché le microonde riscaldano il cibo e non il vasellame, é possibile cuocere
il cibo direttamente sul piatto di portata ed evitare così l’uso e la conseguente pulizia di pentole. Tenere
comunque presente che è possibile che sia il cibo, molto caldo, a trasmettere calore al piatto, rendendo
necessario l’uso di presine.
Since microwaves heat food - and not the dish - you can also heat food on the plate you intend to serve it
on. This can save you a lot of unnecessary washing up.
Remember that heat may transfer from the food to the plate, and that you may have to use an oven glove
to remove it.
All standard ovenware may be used in FAN and GRILL modes.

CHAPTER 1: GENERAL
1.6 RULES AND HINTS FOR USING THE OVEN
Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation. They occur in nature in the form of light waves (e.g.
sunlight). In the oven, these waves penetrate food from all directions to heat water, fat and sugar molecules.
This generates heat very quickly only in the food itself. The container warms up only as a result of heat
spreading from the food.
In microwave cooking, food does not stick to its dish. You can therefore use very little fat and in some cases
no fat at all.
Microwave cooking is therefore a healthy form of cooking. In contrast to traditional methods, microwave
cooking also dehydrates foods less, destroys less of their nutritional value, and retains more original flavour.
Basic rules for correct microwave cooking
1) Cooking time depends directly on the size and consistency of the
food. A casserole will cook faster than a roast because it consists of
smaller pieces, and because all the pieces are of the same consistency.
When you refer to the cooking tables later in this manual, remember
that you must increase or reduce cooking time to match the volume of
the food you are cooking.
Always respect standing time. Standing time is the time for which you
must leave food “rest” after cooking. Standing time ensures that food
is served at an even temperature throughout.
The temperature of meat, for example, can rise between 5°C and 8°C
(approx. 9°F to 15°F) during standing time. Food can be left to stand
inside or out of the oven.
2) Always mix or stir food several times during cooking. This not only
ensures even temperature distribution but also reduces cooking time.
3) Also turn food over during cooking. This is specially important for
meat, whether in large pieces (roasts, whole chickens, etc.) or small
pieces (chicken breasts, casseroles, etc.).
4) Pierce foods with skins, shells or peel (e.g. apples, potatoes, tomatoes, frankfurters, fish, etc.) with a fork
at several points to allow steam to escape from inside. This prevents these foods from exploding inside
the oven (see fig. 9).
5) If you are cooking a number of portions of the same type of food (e.g. potatoes), arrange the portions
in a ring around the outside of an ovenproof dish to ensure that they cook uniformly (see fig. 10).
6) The lower the temperature at which food is placed in the oven, the longer the cooking time required.
Food placed in the oven at room temperature will cook sooner than food coming directly from the refrigerator.
7) Always place dishes and containers in the middle of the turntable.
8) It is perfectly normal for condensation to form inside the oven and
near the air outlet vents. To reduce condensation, cover food with
clear film, wax paper, a Pyrex lid or simply an overturned plate.
Foods with a high water content (e.g. greens and vegetables) cook better when covered. Covering food also helps keep the inside of the oven
clean. Use clear film made expressly for microwave ovens.
9) Do not cook eggs in their shells (fig. 11). Pressure will build up inside
and can cause the egg to explode, even after cooking has finished.
Do not reheat eggs in their shells even if they have already been cooked. Only reheat scrambled eggs.
10)Always open air-tight or sealed containers before placing them in the oven. Otherwise pressure will
build up inside and can cause them to swell and explode even after cooking has finished.

cooking calculations will be lost. Wait until the display shows remaining cooking time before opening
the door (e.g. to check or turn the food). For some food categories, the control beeps or displays a message suggesting the most suitable moment to stir or turn food.
NOTE: This oven features an automatic cooling cycle. This cycle starts if the oven is still hot after you
remove your food and press STOP/CLEAR (6), e.g. after long cooking times. During the cooling cycle
the display reads out the message "OVEN IS COOLING".
The fans, oven light and the turntable all operate during the cooling cycle and switch off automatically
at the end of it. The heating elements and microwave system remain off. You do not need to wait for the
cooling cycle to finish to start cooking again.
