Instructions
USE OF MICROWAVES
after microwave heating has ended
• Check the appliance visually during the cooking of foods in plastic or paper containers.
Improper use.
Danger of explosion
• Use the microwave only for the preparation of food for consumption. Other types of applications are strictly forbidden (e.g. drying clothes, warming slippers, sponges, wet cloths or the like, dehydrating foods) because they can lead to the risk of injury or fire.
• When using the microwave to heat or reheat liquids, the boiling process may be delayed – boiling temperature can be reached without the formation of the usual "rolling boil". This delayed boiling and consequent superheating of the liquid can generate an explosion inside the appliance, or sudden boiling over of the superheated liquid can occur when removing the container from the appliance. To avoid these dangers, it is necessary to insert the supplied boiling rod (or a heat-resistant plastic spoon) in the container while heating.
• When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition.
• Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode even
• The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.
• Do not use the microwave to dry food.
• Do not use the microwave to heat oils or fry.
• Do not use the appliance to heat foods or beverages containing alcohol.
• Do not heat eggs in their shells or whole hard boiled eggs; they may explode even after the heating process has completed.
• Do not heat food contained within food packages.
• Microwave heating of beverages can result in delay eruptive boiling, therefore care should be taken when handling the container.
6
Instructions
• Baby food should not be heated in sealed containers. Remove the cover or the teat (in the case of baby bottles). Always check the preparation's temperature once heating has completed, it should not be too high. For an even temperature and to avoid scalding stir or shake the contents.
• 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.
• Before cooking food with a hard skin or peel (e.g. potatoes, apples, etc.) it is necessary to puncture the skin.
• Do not use the microwave functions when the oven is empty.
• Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
• Do not use aluminium containers to cook food.
• Do not use dishes with metallic decorations (gold-plated or silver).

Use
3 Use
Instructions
High temperature inside the oven during use
Danger of burns
• Keep the oven door closed during cooking.
• Protect your hands by wearing oven gloves when moving food inside the oven.
• Do not touch the heating elements inside the oven.
• Do not pour water directly onto very hot trays.
• Do not allow children to approach the oven when it is in operation.
Improper use
Risk of damage to enamelled surfaces
• Do not cover the bottom of the oven cavity with aluminium or tin foil sheets.
• If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place it so that it will not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven.
• Do not place pans or trays directly on the bottom of the oven cavity.
• Do not pour water directly onto very hot trays.
High temperature inside the oven during use
Danger of fire or explosion
• Do not spray any spray products near the appliance.
• Do not use or leave flammable materials near the appliance.
• Do not use plastic cookware or containers when cooking food.
• Do not put sealed tins or containers in the oven.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended during cooking operations where fats or oils could be released.
• Remove all trays and racks which are not required during cooking.
Microwaves
The appliance is equipped with a microwave generator called a magnetron. The microwaves generated are evenly emitted into the oven cavity in order to reach the food and heat it.
Heating takes place through friction between the molecules contained in the food (mainly water molecules), with the consequent generation of heat.
The heat generated directly inside the food allows it to be defrosted, re-heated or cooked in a shorter time compared to traditional cooking.
Using containers suitable for microwave cooking allows the microwaves to reach the food in a uniform manner.
EN
17
Use
3.1 Materials suitable for use with microwaves
In general, in order for all of the food to be reached, the materials used for microwave cooking must be transparent to microwave energy.
Below is a table of materials to use and those not to use:
MATERIALS TO USE:
- Glass (always remove covers)*
• Baking ware
• Glasses
• Jars
- Porcelain
- Earthenware
- Plastic (only where suitable for
microwave use)*
• Containers
• Plastic wrap (must not come into contact
with the food)
*only if heat-resistant.
MATERIALS NOT TO BE USED
- Metals (can lead to arcing or sparks)
• Aluminium foil
• Aluminium trays
• Plates
• Metal utensils
• Freezer bag ties
- Wood
- Crystal glasses
- Paper (fire risk)
- Polystyrene containers (danger of food contamination)
Dishes must be free of metal decorations.
Do not use metal accessory trays in the microwave or combined microwave functions.
18
Use
Testing dishes
The microwave function can be used without any food inside the oven only for this test.
To check whether the cookware is suitable for use with microwave cooking, carry out this simple test:
1. Remove all accessories from the oven cavity.
2. Place the cookware to be tested on the rack inserted in the first runner.
3. Select the maximum power level (e.g. 1000 W).
4. Set a cooking time of 30 seconds.
5. Start cooking.
Unsuitable cookware
Risk of damage to the appliance
• Stop the test immediately if there is a cracking sound or if sparks are emitted from the cookware. If this happens, it means that the cookware is not suitable for microwave cooking.
Preliminary operations
1. Remove any protective film from the outside or inside of the appliance, including accessories.
2. Remove any labels (apart from the technical data plate) from the accessories and from the oven cavity.
3. Remove all the accessories from the appliance and wash them (see ”4 Cleaning and maintenance”).
4. Heat the empty oven at the maximum temperature to burn off any residues left by the manufacturing process.
When heating the oven for the first time, use a traditional function and not a microwave function.
3.2 Using the accessories
Tray rack
The tray rack has to be inserted into the tray. In this way fat can be collected separately from the food which is being cooked.
EN
6. At the end of the test the cookware must be either cold or slightly warm. If the cookware is hot then it should be considered as unsuitable for microwave use.
19
Use
Racks and trays
Racks and trays have to be inserted into the side guides until they come to a complete stop.
• The mechanical safety locks that prevent the rack from being removed accidentally must face downwards towards the back of the oven.
High temperature
Danger of burns
• The accessory gets very hot. Always use oven gloves when handling.
Gently insert racks and trays into the oven until they come to a stop.
Boiling rod
When using the microwave oven to heat or reheat liquids, the boiling process may be delayed. To avoid this, place the boiling rod, supplied (or a heat-resistant plastic spoon), into the container while heating.
Improper use
Danger of explosion/burns
• To avoid the danger of explosion inside the appliance or the sudden boiling over of superheated liquids, always place a boiling rod in the liquid that is being heated.
High temperature
Risk of damage to the accessory
• Use the boiling rod only with Microwave functions. The rod must not be used with combination and traditional functions.
20
Clean the trays before using them for the first time to remove any residues left by the manufacturing process.

MICROWAVES
When using the microwave functions, food must be placed in a suitable container on the rack inserted in the first runner.
DO NOT USE CONTAINERS/ ACCESSORIES (trays, glass dishes, etc.) PLACED DIRECTLY ON THE FLOOR OF THE OVEN.
Given that they penetrate directly into the food, microwaves allow cooking to take place in a very short period of time and with a considerable saving of energy. They are suitable for cooking without fat and also for defrosting and re-heating food while maintaining its original appearance and fragrance.
1. Place the food inside the oven.
When cooking using only the microwave function, the appliance does not perform preheating. The food can be placed immediately inside the appliance.
2. Touch the time indicated on the display.
24
For perfect results with long microwave and combination cooking functions, food should be stirred once or twice during cooking.
