IN YOUR INTEREST AND TO ENSURE YOUR SAFETY, BY LAW ALL ELECTRIC APPLIANCES MUST ONLY BE INSTALLED AND SERVICED BY QUALIFIED STAFF, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RELEVANT REGULATIONS. OUR APPROVED INSTALLATION ENGINEERS GUARANTEE YOU A JOB WELL DONE. GAS OR ELECTRIC APPLIANCES MUST ALWAYS BE DISCONNECTED BY SUITABLY SKILLED PEOPLE.

THE PLUG TO BE CONNECTED TO THE POWER SUPPLY LEAD AND THE RELATIVE SOCKET MUST BE OF THE SAME TYPE AND COMPLY WITH THE RELEVANT REGULATIONS. THE POWER SUPPLY SOCKET MUST BE ACCESSIBLE EVEN AFTER THE APPLIANCE HAS BEEN BUILT-IN. NEVER DISCONNECT THE PLUG BY PULLING ON THE POWER SUPPLY LEAD

THE APPLIANCE MUST BE CONNECTED TO EARTH IN COMPLIANCE WITH ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SAFETY REGULATIONS.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER INSTALLATION, CARRY OUT A QUICK TEST ON THE OVEN FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED LATER IN THIS MANUAL. DURING THE TESTS PUT A GLASS OF WATER INSIDE THE OVEN AS IT WILL ABSORB THE MICROWAVES AND THE OVEN WILL NOT BE DAMAGED. IF THE APPLIANCE FAILS TO OPERATE, DISCONNECT IT FROM THE ELECTRICAL MAINS AND CONTACT YOUR NEAREST SERVICE CENTRE. NEVER ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE APPLIANCE.

WARNING! NEVER LEAVE THE OVEN UNWATCHED, ESPECIALLY WHEN USING PAPER, PLASTIC OR OTHER COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. THESE MATERIALS CAN CHAR AND MAY FIRE. FIRE RISK! WARNING! IF YOU SEE SMOKE OR FIRE, KEEP THE DOOR CLOSED IN ORDER TO SMOTHER THE FLAMES. SWITCH OFF THE OVEN AND TAKE THE PLUG OUT OF THE SOCKET OR CUT OFF THE OVEN POWER SUPPLY. WARNING! DO NOT HEAT PURE ALCOHOL OR ALCOHOLIC DRINKS IN THE MICROWAVE. FIRE RISK! WARNING! DO NOT HEAT LIQUIDS OR OTHER FOODS IN CLOSED CONTAINERS SINCE THESE MAY EXPLODE READILY.

WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE BY PERSONS (INCLUDING CHILDREN) WITH REDUCED PHYSICAL, SENSORY OR MENTAL CAPABILITIES, OR LACK OF EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE, UNLESS THEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN SUPERVISION OR INSTRUCTION CONCERNING USE OF THE APPLIANCE BY A PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR SAFETY. CHILDREN SHOULD BE SUPERVISED TO ENSURE THAT THEY DO NOT PLAY WITH THE APPLIANCE.

WARNING! IF THE OVEN HAS A COMBINED FUNCTION MODE (MICROWAVE

WITH OTHER MEANS OF HEATING), CHILDREN SHOULD N OT BE ALLOWED TO USE THE OVEN WITHOUT ADULT SUPERVISION ON ACCOUNT OF THE HIGH TEMPERATURES GENERATED. WARNING: ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT DURING USE. YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. WARNING: DURING USE THE APPLIANCE BECOMES HOT. CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID TOUCHING HEATING ELEMENTS INSIDE THE OVEN. WARNING! THE OVEN CANNOT BE USED IF:

 THE DOOR IS NOT CLOSED CORRECTLY;  THE DOOR HINGES ARE DAMAGED;  THE SURFACES OF THE CONTACT BETWEEN THE DOOR AND

THE OVEN FRONT ARE DAMAGED;

 THE DOOR WINDOW GLASS IS DAMAGED;  THERE IS FREQUENT ELECTRICAL ARCING INSIDE THE OVEN

EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO METAL OBJECT INSIDE. THE OVEN CAN ONLY BE USED AGAIN AFTER IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED BY A TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE SERVICE TECHNICIAN.

BEWARE! NEVER HEAT BABY FOODS OR DRINKS IN BOTTLES OR JARS WITH THE TEATS OR LIDS ON THEM. AFTER HEATING THE FOOD MIX OR SHAKE WELL SO THAT THE HEAT IS SPREAD EVENLY. CHECK THE FOOD TEMPERATURE BEFORE FEEDING THIS TO THE CHILD. DANGER OF BURNING!

TAKE CARE WHEN HEATING LIQUIDS! WHEN LIQUIDS (WATER, COFFEE, TEA, MILK, ETC.) ARE NEARLY AT BOILING POINT INSIDE THE OVEN AND ARE TAKEN OUT SUDDENLY, THEY MAY SPURT OUT OF THEIR CONTAINERS. DANGER OF INJURIES AND BURNS! TO AVOID THAT TYPE OF SITUATION WHEN HEATING LIQUIDS, PUT A TEASPOON OR GLASS ROD INSIDE THE CONTAINER.

TO AVOID FOOD OVERHEATING OR BURNING IT IS VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO SELECT LONG TIME PERIODS OR POWER LEVELS THAT ARE TOO HIGH WHEN HEATING SMALL QUANTITIES OF FOOD. FOR EXAMPLE, A BREAD ROLL CAN BURN AFTER 3 MINUTES IF THE POWER SELECTED IS TOO HIGH. FOR TOASTING, USE JUST THE GRILLING FUNCTION AND WATCH THE OVEN ALL THE TIME. IT YOU USE A COMBINED FUNCTION TO TOAST BREAD IT WILL CATCH FIRE IN A VERY SHORT TIME.

THIS OVEN IS EXCLUSIVELY FOR DOMESTIC USE! USE THE OVEN ONLY FOR PREPARING MEALS.

AVOID DAMAGING THE OVEN OR OTHER DANGEROUS SITUATIONS BY FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS:

Safety Precautions

 Do not switch on the oven without the turntable support, the

turntable ring and the respective plate being in place.

 Never switch on the microwave when it is empty. If there is

no food inside there may be an electrical overcharge and the

oven could be damaged. RISK OF DAMAGE!

 Do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings.

CLEANING:

Safety Precautions

 Use only dishes suitable for microwaves. Before using dishes and

containers in the microwave, check that these are suitable (see the

section on types of dishes).

 Never remove the mica cover on the ceiling of the oven

interior! This cover stops fat and pieces of food damaging the

microwave generator.

 Do not keep any inflammable object inside the oven as it may

burn if the oven is switched on.

 Do not use the oven as a pantry.  Eggs with their shells and whole boiled eggs must not be heated

in microwave ovens because they may explode.

 Do not use the oven for frying as it is impossible to control the

temperature of oil heated by microwaves.

 To avoid being burnt, always use oven gloves for handling dishes

and containers and touching the oven.

 Do not lean or sit on the open oven door. This may damage the

oven, especially in the hinge zone. The door can bear a maximum

weight of 8 kg.

 The turntable and the grills can bear a maximum load of 8 kg. To

avoid damaging the oven, do not exceed this load.

 Warning! Your microwave oven must be cleaned regularly. All food

remains must be removed (see section on Oven Cleaning). If the

microwave oven is not kept clean its surface may deteriorate and

this may shorten the oven’s working life and could even result

in a dangerous situation.

 The door contact surfaces (the front of the cavity and the inside part

of the doors) must be kept very clean in order to ensure the oven

functions correctly.

 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.

 Please follow the instructions regarding cleaning in the section

“Oven Cleaning and Maintenance”.

Safety Precautions

REPAIRS:

 Warning – Microwaves! The outer protection of the oven must

not be removed. It is dangerous for anyone not authorised by the

manufacturer to carry out any kind of repair or maintenance work.

 If the power cable is damaged it should be substituted by the

manufacturer, authorised agents or technicians qualified for this

task in order to avoid dangerous situations. Furthermore, special

tools are required for this task.

 Repair and maintenance work, especially of current carrying parts,

can only be carried out by technicians authorised by the

manufacturer.

The manufacturer declines all responsibility for injury or damage caused by failure to comply with the above regulations or deriving from tampering with even just one part of the appliance and the use of non-original spare parts.
