contact separation of at least 3 mm in all poles and provided with permanent connection to earth.
Important safety warnings
Read carefully these instructions 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: Accessible parts may become hot
during use. Young children should be kept away. Do
not allow the appliance to be used by persons
(including children) with psychological, physical or
sensory impairments, or with inadequate experience
or knowledge, unless closely supervised and
instructed by someone responsible for their safety
who can ensure they are aware of the dangers
associated with inappropriate use. Children must be
supervised to ensure they do not play with the
appliance.
5) WARNING: When the appliance is operated in the
combination mode, children should only use the
oven under adult supervision due to the
temperatures generated.
6) Do not attempt to operate the oven with the door
open by tampering with the safety devices.
7) 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.
8) Do not operate the oven if the supply cable or the
plug is damaged, as this may result in electric
shocks. 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 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)The temperature of the door or the outer surface
may be high when the appliance is operating. 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 !
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.
18)Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition
could lead to deterioration of the surface that could
adversely affect the life of the appliance and
possibly result in a hazardous situation.
19)Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal
scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they
can scratch the surface, which may result in
shattering of the glass.
20)All microwaves are tested and approved in
accordance with current electromagnetic safety and
compatibility regulations and standards. As a
precautionary measure, pacemaker manufacturers
recommend wearers to keep a minimum distance of
20-30 cm between an operating microwave oven
and the pacemaker in order to avoid possible
interference with the pacemaker. If you suspect
that such an interference is occurring, turn the oven
off immediately and contact the pacemaker
manufacturer.
21)If the oven overheats (prolonged use, use empty,
etc), the safety thermostat could turn the oven off.
After cooling down, the oven will operate as normal.
22)The door or the outer surface may get hot when the
appliance is operating.
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

on Electromagnetic Compatibility and EC regulation
no. 1935/2004 of 27/10/2004 on materials intended for
contact with food.
The product is classified as Group 2, Class B ISM
equipment. The definition of Group 2 which contains
all ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) equipment
in which radio-frequency energy is intentionally
generated and/or used in the form of electromagnetic
radiation for the treatment of material, and spark
erosion equipment.
For Class B equipment is equipment suitable for use
in domestic establishments and in establishments
directly connected to a low voltage power supply
network which supplies buildings used for domestic
purpose.
Installation and electrical connection
Il forno deve tassativamente essere incassato ad una
altezza minima di 850 mm.
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
GB
24
and closes properly.
4) Place the support (H) in the centre of the circular
groove and fix the turntable (G) 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.
9) The majority of modern electronic appliances (TV,
radio, stereo systems etc) are shielded from radio
frequency (RF) signals. Certain electronic
appliances may not, however, be shielded from
radio frequency signals deriving from a microwave
oven. You should therefore keep a distance of at
least 1 - 2 metres between these appliances and the
operating oven.
Ovenware to be used
You can make use of all types of containers made of
glass (preferably Pyrex), ceramics, porcelain and
glazed pottery as long as they do not have
decorations or metal parts (gilded borders, handles,
feet). 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.
For short heating periods, you may use paper
napkins, cardboard trays and plastic “throwaway”
plates as a base.
As far as shape and size are concerned, it is
absolutely essential that containers be such as to
allow the turntable to rotate.
In order to use large-size rectangular containers
(which may not be able to rotate inside the cooking
cavity), you can remove the spindle (D) from its
housing to prevent the turntable (G) moving. Bear in
mind that to be assured of good results when carrying
this out you must stir the food and turn the container
around several times during the cooking process.
Containers made of metal, wood, recycled kitchen
paper, cane and plate glass are not suitable for use in
microwave ovens. The metal grill rack supplied with
your microwave have been fully tested for safe use.
You should remember, too, that since microwaves
heat the food and not the glassware, earthenware or
similar containers for that food, it is possible to cook
such foods in the serving dish and thereby avoid the
problem of having to clean pans later.
If the oven is used in its grill only functions, any type
of oven container may be used (see chart).
