Instructions
Risk of damaging the appliance
• Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents on glass parts (e.g. powder products, stain removers and metallic sponges).
• Use wooden or plastic utensils.
• Do not use steam jets to clean the appliance.
• Do not obstruct ventilation openings and heat dispersal slots.
• Never leave the appliance unattended during cooking operations where fats or oils could be released.

1.2 Instructions for using microwaves
EN
• Check the appliance visually
during the cooking of foods in plastic or paper containers.
Improper use
Danger of explosion
• 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.
• Use the microwave only for the
preparation of food for consumption. Other types of applications are strictly forbidden (e.g. drying clothes, warming
5
Instructions
slippers, sponges, wet cloths or the like, dehydrating foods) because they can lead to the risk of injury or fire.
• Clean the appliance constantly and remove any food residue.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not heat eggs in their shells or whole hard boiled eggs; they may explode even after the heating process has completed.
• Use cookware and utensils that are suitable for use in a microwave oven.
• Do not use aluminium containers to cook food.
• Do not use dishes with metallic decorations (gold-plated or silver).
• The appliance operates in the
2.4GHz ISM band.
• In compliance with the provisions relating to electromagnetic compatibility the appliance belongs to group 2 and class B (EN 55011).
• This appliance complies with the standards and directives currently in force concerning safety and electromagnetic compatibility. It is however recommended for pacemaker wearers to maintain a minimum distance of 20-30cm between the microwave when it is operating and the pacemaker. Consult the pacemaker manufacturer for more information.
• Before cooking food with a hard skin or peel (e.g. potatoes, apples, etc.) it is necessary to puncture the skin.
• Do not heat food contained within food packages.
• Do not use the microwave functions when the oven is empty.

Description
2.3 Other parts
Shelves
The appliance features shelves to position trays and racks at different heights. The insertion heights are indicated from the bottom upwards (see 2.1 General Description).
Cooling fan
The fan cools the oven and comes into operation during cooking.
The fan causes a steady outflow of air from above the door which may continue for a brief period of time even after the appliance has been turned off.
Interior lighting
The oven light comes on when the door is opened or any function is selected. To save energy, the lamp will remain on for one minute at the beginning of each cooking cycle (this feature can be disabled through the secondary menu).
Turn the temperature knob briefly to the right to activate or deactivate internal lighting.
2.4 Microwaves
The appliance is equipped with a microwave generator called a magnetron. The microwaves generated are evenly emitted into the oven compartment in order to reach the food and heat it.
Heating takes place through the process of friction between the molecules contained in the food (mainly water molecules), with the consequent generation of heat.
The heat generated directly inside the food leads to defrosting, re-heating or cooking in a shorter length of time compared to traditional cooking.
The use of suitable containers for microwave cooking allows the microwaves to reach the food in a uniform manner (see Materials suitable for microwaves).
