Drive

This fixture is located in the middle of the oven, beneath the
turntable. It is connected with the motor and drives the turnta­ble round.

Ring bearing

This component is placed in the middle of the oven, beneath the
turntable. It has rollers to support the turntable while leaving it
free to rotate.

Turntable

This glass plate is placed on the ring bearing in the middle of the
oven and must be engaged with the drive. It can be used for all
types of cooking. Containers containing food to be cooked or to
collect particles and juices produced by food during cooking are
placed on the turntable. It is easily removed for cleaning.

DUO rack

- The DUO function rack can be used to reheat two plates at the
same time. Place the first plate under the rack and the second on
top.

- In grill mode, this accessory can be used for browning flat dis­hes. It must be carefully centred on the turntable.

Low rack

For use with “air” and “micro air" modes, this rack is placed in the
centre of the turntable to allow the air to circulate freely under­neath dishes during cooking.

Crousty dish

This dish has a non-stick coating and absorbs microwaves from
below. This enables it to heat food from beneath to brown and
crisp the bottom while the grill does the same from above.
For an even better effect, the dish can be pre-heated.

Enamelled dish

This dish is intended to be placed on the glass turntable to catch
cooking juices falling from food placed on the low rack or the
DUO rack.
This accessory can be used in “grill“ or “air“ mode.

Accessories Installation

Rôtisserie Accessories

Drip tray

For use in “Rôtisserie” mode, this glass dish is placed in the cen­tre of the turntable to catch the cooking juice from meat and
poultry.
The main spit is fitted in the centre of the dish.

Main spit

This spit is used for cooking poultry and roasts in “Rôtisserie”
mode.
Using this accessory saves the need to turn meat and poultry
during cooking. They will be nicely crisp and brown all over.

Skewer holder

This is fitted onto the main spit. It has 6 notches to take the ske­wers.

6 skewers

These can be used for cooking kebabs of meat, poultry, fish,
vegetables and/or fruit.
They are fitted on the skewer holder.

Preparation

Unpack the accessories, wash them and wipe them off carefully.
Position the ring bearing and then the turntable in the centre of the oven.

The turntable must be properly engaged with the drive.

Connecting

Check that the supply voltage marked on the type label glued on the rear
of the appliance matches the voltage of your supply. The label indicates
the nominal supply voltage of the appliance, e.g. 220-230 V.

Ensure that the current marked on your electricity meter and circuit brea­ker / fuse is at least 16 Amperes.

Finally, for proper safety, it is essential to connect your appliance to an
outlet socket with an earth connection in accordance with electrical instal­lation regulations and standards.
Position the appliance in such a way that the supply socket is readily acces­sible so that it can be easily disconnected.
You should also ensure that you can gain access to your circuit breaker /
fuse.

It is imperative to comply with the above instructions regarding the
electrical supply.

Position

Your appliance can be installed in one of two ways :

•On a worktop : position the appliance on a flat and stable surface,
capable of supporting the oven and its contents. The oven must be
handled with care, remembering that the control panel side is the
heavier.

•In a niche : The niche must be at least 85 cm above floor-level. Centre
the appliance in the niche so that it does not touch the sidewalls.

Adequate ventilation is essential: the minimum clearances are 20 cm
above the oven and 10 cm at the sides and rear.

Install the appliance away from any source of heat such as a traditional oven
or radiator. It has been designed and tested for use in ambient temperatures
up to 35°C.

Ensure that the ventilation holes of the appliance are not obstructed.

GB

Important safety instructions

Read carefully and keep for future reference.

1. Your appliance is for domestic use. It is intended only for cooking, hea­ting and defrosting foods and drinks. Use it only for these purposes.

2. Do not allow children to use the appliance without supervision in

particular in the combination mode due to the temperatures generated.

Beware of the risk of burns.

3. Avoid touching any surfaces that may have become hot during operation
of your oven : the door, the grill element, the inner (cavity) walls, the top
surface.

In order to avoid burns when removing containers and accessories
from the oven, always use oven gloves.

4. Do not operate your appliance when empty. This can cause damage. To try
out programming the appliance, place a glass of water in the oven. This will
absorb the microwaves and protect your oven against damage.

5. The door must be free to close properly :
Do not obstruct the door in any way (with oven cloths, oven gloves, over-size
dishes etc.). If the door of your appliance is not properly closed, a safety
mechanism will prevent its being turned on.

6. When cooking in grill or Fan oven mode, any fat splashing the grill ele­ment may catch fire. These flames will extinguish themselves and will not
have any adverse effect on your appliance if it is regularly maintained.

To avoid fat spitting during cooking, especially when cooking meats
and poultry, use dishes in glazed earthenware. Always maintain a
minimum gap of 2 cm between the food and the grill element.

7. Never obstruct the ventilation holes. This can cause the oven to over­heat. If this happens, your appliance will stop automatically and will not
start again until it has cooled sufficiently.

8. Precautions against exposure to microwaves :

• Never attempt to operate your appliance with the door open, to inter­fere with the safety door-locking mechanism or to insert anything in this
mechanism.

• Never place anything in the way of opening and closing the door.

• Never allow food or cleaning product residues to accumulate on the
door seals. Ensure that the door and its seals remain clean. After use,
wipe them with a damp cloth and dry them carefully.

• It is particularly important that the oven door should close correctly and
that there is no defect in :

- the door, the seals, the hinges,

- the supply cable.

Never use your oven if it is damaged.

In no case should your oven be adjusted or repaired by anyone other
than a qualified microwave appliance repair technician, trained by
the manufacturer.

The following recommendations will help you get the greatest benefit
from using your oven. Please read them carefully.
Your appliance can be used to defrost, reheat and cook foods much faster
than is possible with traditional cooking methods.

Foods

Forbidden foods

If you choose a cooking method using microwaves, you should never:

• Attempt to fry food – it is impossible to control the temperature of the
oil and other fats – fire-risk.

• Attempt to cook or warm up eggs in their shells, hard-boiled eggs with
or without their shells or snails – they may explode.

• Attempt to cook food in an intact shell (e.g. chestnuts) or hard skin
(tomatoes, potatoes, sausages) – always make a slit.

Food temperatures

The action of microwaves is such that only the food is heated. The
container may, therefore, remain cold or cool while the food that it
contains is burning hot.

To avoid any risk of burning, always stir before serving and check the tem­perature carefully before serving – especially to children.
Shake feeding bottles well and try a few drops on the back of your wrist to
check the temperature.

Preparing food for cooking

Before warming feeding bottles and small pots, remove teats and covers.

Remember to cover the food in order to :

• avoid any splashing of the oven cavity,

• retain sufficient moisture for cooking.

Heating liquids

When heating liquids, a sudden overflow may occur when you take the
container to remove it from the appliance. In fact, when the temperature
reaches boiling point, steam tends to remain trapped in the liquid until it
is disturbed.
To avoid this superheating effect and the consequent risk of scalding,
always place a plastic spoon in the liquid to be heated.

Containers and materials

Below, you will find details of the various types of containers, which can be
used or must not be used for the chosen cooking method.

“micro” mode (microwaves)

Use containers suitable for microwave cooking.

A container can easily be tested for microwave “transparency” :

Instructions for use

GB

29

Place the empty container on the turntable together with a glass of

water and run the oven for one minute at maximum power.

After one minute :

• if the container is cold, it is “transparent” and can be used for micro­wave cooking,

• if the container is warm or hot it is absorbent and must not be used
for microwave cooking.

Never use hermetically sealed containers.

Remember to remove covers and stoppers from feeding bottles, jars,

bottles and plastic containers.

Disposable containers

Never leave the appliance to run unsupervised when using disposable
containers in plastic, paper or other inflammable materials.
If you see smoke appear, keep the oven door closed and disconnect your
appliance.

Metal containers

Never use metallic materials and containers for microwave cooking.
You can, however, use your appliance to heat or defrost certain prepara­tions in metallic trays, provided the height of the tray does not exceed 4
cm, not including the cover.
With regard to the cover, follow the instructions on the package. It will
have to be removed or left in place, as the case may be. If not indicated
otherwise, play safe and remove it.

Centre the tray(s) on the turntable, leaving at least 1 cm clearance from
the oven walls. If there are several trays, space them at least 2 cm apart.

“grill” and “air” (fan oven) modes

These cooking modes do not require the use of special containers. Use
the same kind of heatproof containers as you would use in a conventional
oven.

Never use plastic containers (they may melt) or containers in paper or
cardboard (fire-risk).

Maintain a minimum clearance of 2 cm between the food and the

grill element.

“micro grill” and “micro air” modes (combined cooking)

Containers not permitted in “micro” mode are also not permitted in

“micro grill” and “micro air” modes.

Containers not permitted in “grill” and “air” modes are also not per-

mitted in “micro grill” and “micro air” modes.

Use only containers that can withstand both microwaves and high
temperatures.

GB

Cooking time

To determine the right cooking time for your foods, follow the instruc­tions on the packaging of ready-made dishes and deep-frozen products.

In the absence of any precise indication, divide the cooking or reheating
time given for a conventional oven by at least three.
In any case, refer to the cooking guide included in these instructions.

Do not programme a cooking time longer than necessary. You will
then avoid any risk of overcooking or setting fire to your food.

Resting time

Microwaves act close to the surface and penetrate food to a depth of 2 to
3 cm. Once the surface layers are hot, heat penetrates to the centre of the
food by conduction, i.e. the hot parts heat the cold parts. This makes it a
good idea to allow the food to rest after removing it from the microwave
so that the heat can penetrate to the centre.

You must set the clock after connecting your appliance
or after a break in supply.

The display will show:

Keep the clock button pressed for 3 seconds.

• The “ 0 “ indication for the hours will blink.

Adjust the hours by turning the rotary knob.

Press the clock button to enter the hours setting.

Reheating
“micro” mode

After heating liquids, it is advisable to leave the container to stand in the
oven for at least 20 seconds. This allows the heat to spread through the
liquid and minimises any risk of overflow and scalding.
Stir the liquid during and after heating.

Place the frozen food in a dish. Do not cover.
At regular intervals during defrosting, turn the food and pour off any

water.
Ensure that the food does not start to cook during defrosting. If any part
of the food should begin to cook, cover it with a small piece of aluminium
foil to screen it from the microwaves.
If the surface of poultry becomes warm, stop defrosting, leave to stand for
20 minutes before recommencing.
Leave to stand for the full resting time to be sure that defrosting is com­plete.
The thicker the food, the longer the defrosting time required.

The table below applies for frozen food at a temperature between

-18 °C and - 20 °C.

Defrosting must be carried out at a power setting of 180 W.

Cleaning the oven

The following parts of your microwave must be cleaned regularly to
avoid any accumulation of food particles and grease :

• The inner and outer surfaces of your appliance,

• The door and its seals,

• The drive, the ring bearing and the turntable.

Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to dete­rioration of the surface that could adversly affect the life of the
appliance and possibly result in a hasardous situation..

Make sure that the door closes correctly.

Clean the outer surfaces with a soft cloth and soapy water. Rinse and dry care­fully.

Your appliance must not be used if the door or door seals are damaged,
for example :

- Broken hinges,

- Damaged seals,

- Internal distortion.

Please contact the after-sales service for any repairs (cf: attached list).

It always takes time to become familiar with a new appliance. If you have
one of the problems listed below, try the solutions suggested.

Technical problems

- Make sure that you are not using an “absorbent” container,

- Make sure that the rear ventilation holes of the appliance are not obs­tructed.

• Cracks can be heard or sparks can be seen inside the oven:

- Make sure that you have not used containers with metallic decoration,

- Make sure that you have not left a metal utensil (fork etc.) inside the
oven,

- Make sure that you have not positioned aluminium foil too close to the
oven walls, positioned a metal tray badly or too close to another metal
tray or forgotten to remove the metal fastener from a freezer bag.

• A beep sounds if you press any button on the control panel:

- Make sure that the Child Safety is not activated, if it is, deactivate it.

• The interior lighting does not work, although your oven works nor­mally:

- The bulb is probably blown, your appliance nevertheless remains usable.

If these suggestions do not solve your problem, collect the following infor­mation:

- The model and serial numbers printed on the rear of the oven,

- Your guarantee,

- A clear description of your problem.
You should then contact your local dealer or the after-sales service.

• The following occurrences are perfectly normal and should give no
cause for alarm:

- Condensation inside the oven,

- The escape of air around the door and the outer walls,

- Light reflections around the door and on the outer walls,

- Steam escaping from the door or the ventilation holes.

• If you find that the food is not cooked at all:

- Make sure that you have programmed the timer correctly and have pres­sed the “Start + 30 s” button,

- Make sure that the door closes correctly,

- Make sure that the circuit breaker is not tripped or the fuse blown.

• The food is overcooked or undercooked:

- Make sure that the programmed cooking time is correct for the food you
are cooking,

- Make sure that you have chosen the right power level,

- Make sure that you have not forgotten to remove the aluminium foil
covering the food tray,

Remove any particles or stains inside your appliance or on the ring bearing
with a soapy cloth. Rinse and dry carefully.

To help dislodge food particles and eliminate bad smells, put a glass of
lemon juice diluted in water on the turntable and run your appliance for 2
minutes at maximum power. The steam will soften the dirty marks. Rince
and dry.
The grill element hinges down to make it easier to clean the roof of the oven.

Take care not to allow water to run into the ventilation holes.

Never use abrasive or solvent cleaners.

Clean the door seals carefully, making sure that :

• There is no accumulation of particles,

• Nothing prevents the door from closing properly.

Clean the inside of your appliance after every use with a suitable deter­gent.

Always allow your oven to cool down before cleaning it.
