1.4 FOR YOUR SAFETY
Read these instructions carefully and keep for future reference.
N.B. This oven has been designed to defrost, heat and cook food in the home. It must never be used for other
purposes, modified or tampered with in any way.
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: Children should not be allowed to play with the appliance or tamper with its controls. 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 observed when the door is open: Do not place heavy
objects on the door or pull the handle downwards any further. Never place hot containers or pans (e.g. just taken off the stove) on the door.
8) If the power cable becomes damaged, this must be substituted only by specialised personnel authorised or by the manufacturer.
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) You must not either preheat or operate the microwave oven in any way without food
in the oven. Sparking can occur if you were to ignore this warning.
13) Before using this oven, make sure that the utensil and containers chosen are suitable
for microwave oven use (see the section on "Glassware and Similar Items").
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 should 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 !
16) The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars should be stirred or shaken and the
temperature should 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.

1.5 TECHNICAL DATA
ENERGY CONSUMPTION ventilated oven only function (CENELEC HD 376 norms)
To reach 200°C 0,35 kWh
To maintain a temperature of 200°C for an hour 1,15 kWh
Total consumption 1,5 kWh
• OUTPUT POWER - MICROWAVE: 1000 W (IEC705)
For additional data, consult the data plate placed on the front side of the appliance.
This appliance complies 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.
OUTPUT POWER
The microwave output power is written on the rating plate placed on the control panel (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.
ONLY FOR SOME MODELS: The microwave output power is also indicated inside this
simbol, placed on the door.
(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.
1.6 INSTALLATION AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
1) Remove all the accessories and wash them.
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 support (I) in the centre of the circular groove and fix the turntable (H) to it. The spindle (D) should
be inserted in the corresponding groove in the centre of the turntable.
5) After the installation has been performed, the power supply cable and the power socket must be easy to
access.
6) Only a qualified electrician may install or relocate a socket outlet.
7) 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.
8) 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 manufacturer disclaims any liability in the event of non-compliance
with this safety regulation.
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.
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following
code:
Green and yellow: Earth
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
10
IMPORTANT
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:
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.
