The microwaves used for cooking are electromagnetic waves. They are present naturally in the environment in the form of radio waves, or light or infrared rays. Their frequency is in the 2,450 MHz range. Their properties:
- They are reflected by metal.
- They travel through all other materials.
- They absorb water, fat and sugar molecules.
When food is exposed to microwaves, the molecules are shaken rapidly, generating heat.
The microwaves penetrate the food up to a depth of around 2.5 cm. If food items are thicker, they will be cooked through to the centre by heat conduction, as in traditional cooking. It is important to know that the microwaves trigger a simple thermal reaction within the food and that they are not harmful.
The packaging for your appliance is made from recyclable materials. Recycle them and help to protect the environment by disposing of them in the council receptacles provided for this purpose.
Your appliance also contains various recyclable materials. It is therefore marked with this logo to inform you that worn-out appliances should not be disposed of with other waste.
Appliance recycling organised by your manufacturer will thus be carried out in optimum conditions, in accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment. Please contact your local council or your dealer for information on the worn-out appliance collection points nearest to your home. We thank you for your help in protecting the environment.

Warning:
Keep this manual with the appliance. If this appliance is sold or given away, make sure the manual is given to the new owner. Please familiarise yourself with these instructions before installing and using your oven. They were written for your safety and the safety of others.
Please make sure children do not play with the appliance. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with impaired physical, sensory or mental capacities, or by inexperienced or untrained persons, unless they have received prior instruction or supervision in its operation by a person responsible for their safety. Your appliance is designed for standard household use for cooking, reheating and defrosting foods. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility in the event of misuse of the appliance. Ensure that cookware is suitable for use in a microwave oven. Do not leave any accessories in your oven when it is switched off. To avoid damaging your appliance, never operate it while empty or without the turntable. Do not interfere with the orifices on the lock on the front of the appliance; this could cause damage to your appliance that would require a service call. WARNING: The seal and frame of the door must be regularly examined to ensure that they have not deteriorated. If these areas are damaged, discontinue use of the appliance and have it checked by a specialist engineer.
When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the risk of fire. It is not recommended to use metallic cookware, forks, spoons, knives or metal staples or fasteners for defrosting bags. The contents of baby bottles and baby food jars should be shaken or stirred and their temperature checked before consumption to avoid burns. Never heat a baby bottle with the nipple on (risk of explosion). WARNING: Never allow children to use the microwave unsupervised unless appropriate instructions have been given so that the child can use the oven safely and understands the dangers of incorrect operation. Liquids and other foods should not be heated in sealed containers because they may explode. Always use oven mitts to remove dishes from the oven. Some dishes absorb the heat from foods and can therefore become very hot. Avoid heating eggs in their shells and whole hard-boiled eggs in the microwave oven because they are likely to explode, even after cooking is complete. Heating beverages in the microwave oven can cause sudden and/or delayed spattering of boiling liquid, so precautions must be taken when handling their containers. If cooking small quantities of food (a sausage, croissant, etc.), place a glass of water next to the food. Excessive cooking times may dry out foods and burn them. To prevent this happening, never use the same times recommended for cooking in a traditional oven. If smoke appears, stop or unplug the oven and leave the door closed to smother any flames that may break out.

Defrosting frozen vegetables in your microwave oven saves you a great deal of time. To defrost food, use the AUTO DEFROST function or the MICROWAVE function with the power set to 200 W.
Tips: Small pieces of meat or fish can be cooked straight after defrosting. Larger pieces such as meat joints or whole fish will still be slightly frozen after the defrost programme. We recommend that you let the food stand for a period of time at least equal to the defrost time to ensure an even temperature.
Food covered with ice crystals will take longer to defrost. In this case, you should increase the defrost time.
Recommendations: The defrost time depends on the type of appliance. It also depends on the shape, size, starting temperature and quality of the food.
In most cases, the food must be removed from its packaging. Remember to remove any metal fastenings from the packaging.
Half way through defrosting, the pieces of food must be turned, stirred and separated if they were frozen together.
If you are defrosting large pieces of meat or fish that prevent rotation of the turntable, use the turntable stop function. In this case, turn the food regularly.
Defrost meat or fish by putting it on an upside-down saucer on top of a plate to allow the juices to run off. If they stay in contact with the food, they will overheat. Never refreeze food before cooking it.
Defrost programme time: The defrost programme time is calculated for food frozen at -18°C. This gives you an indication of the time needed for defrosting but the actual time may vary depending on the thickness, shape, size and packaging of the food.

The required time is calculated automatically. The programme time appears on the display and the defrost programme starts.
CCoommmmeennttss::
The defrost time is calculated automatically according to the weight of the food. The defrost time required may vary depending on the starting temperature of the food (times are calculated for food frozen at -18°C).
Half way through the auto defrost programme for food weighing more than 350 g, a beep sounds to remind you that you need to turn the food over for best results and “turn” is displayed. Reclose the door after turning the food and press START to continue the defrost programme.
With the auto defrost function, the defrost time cannot be modified. To get even results, the TURNTABLE STOP function cannot be used with the auto defrost

It is better to set the minimum time then increase the time if necessary. Check the colour of the food. Always position the accessories (the shelf or the enamel dish) at level 1 or 2 as this will optimise heat distribution and cooking quality. Use heat-resistant cookware. Protect your hands when handling dishes as they may get very hot. If you want to defrost food after using the fan oven function, we recommend that you let the oven cool down for 10 minutes. This will give you better results. To cook 2 apple pies at the same time: 60-90 minutes at 200°C. We suggest that you put the first pie in the enamel dish and the second in a pie dish placed on the shelf at level 3. Switch the two dishes half way through cooking.

Use a microwave-proof, heat-resistant dish, preferably made of terracotta (less spattering than with a glass dish). If possible, cook joints without bards to prevent smoke and spatters of fat. After cooking, season the joint, wrap it in aluminium foil and leave it for 10 minutes. This will help the meat fibres to relax and the joint will be more succulent.
