2 DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS -
OUR ENVIRONMENT POLICY
Our products are only packaged using non-pollutant, environment-friendly,
recyclable materials. We urge you to cooperate by disposing of the
packaging properly. Contact your local dealer or the competent local
organisations for the addresses of collection, recycling and disposal
facilities.
Never leave all or part of the packaging lying around. Packaging parts,
and especially plastic bags, may represent a suffocation hazard for
children.
Your old appliance must also be disposed of properly.
Important: deliver the appliance to your local organisation authorised to
collect scrapped appliances. Proper disposal allows the intelligent
recovery of valuable materials.
Before scrapping your appliance it is important to remove doors and leave
shelves in position as for use, to ensure that children cannot accidentally
become trapped inside the oven during play. Also, cut the power supply
lead and remove it and the plug.

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

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. TO
AVOID BURNS AND SCALDS CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.
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:
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.

Safety Precautions
6
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.
CLEANING:
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”.
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, aut horised 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.

7 USING THE OVEN
7.1 Precautions and General Advice
When the oven and grill are used for the first time, they should be heated
to the maximum temperature for long enough to burn off any oily residues
left by the manufacturing process, which might contaminate foods with
unpleasant smells.
Oven accessories which may come into contact with foods are made from
materials compliant with directive 89/109/EEC of 21/12/88 and national
relevant regulations.
To prevent excessive amounts of condensation from forming on the
internal glass, food should not be left inside the oven for too long after
cooking.
7.2 Operating settings
This product is programmed to provide 3 operating settings, which can
be\modified by pressing PT2.
Standby setting: activated as soon as the current time has been
confirmed, with DSP1 on and showing the current time.
ON setting: from the standby setting, press PT2 once. All the displays and
knobs light up.
OFF setting: from the ON setting, press PT2 once.
Only the symbol on DSP1 remains on.
The heating system is not activated immediately in any of these
functions, in order to improve operator safety.
7.3 First Use
At first use, or after a power failure, the oven's left hand-display, DSP1, will
show a flashing symbol. To start any cooking operation, the current
time must be set.
7.3.1 Setting the current time
To set the current time, turn PT1 to the right and left to increase or
decrease the hours. Press it once to move on to setting the minutes. Turn
it the right and left to increase or decrease the minutes and press it to set
the current time. The symbol will appear on the display, which will stop
flashing.
7.3.2 Setting the current time
It might become necessary to change the current time, for example at the
switch from summer to winter time. To do this, starting from the standby
setting (see point “7.2 Operating settings”) keep PT1 pressed for a few
seconds until the figures on DSP1 flash. Now repeat the operations
described in point “7.3.1 Setting the current time”.
