Installation instructions

Before installation

Check that the input voltage indicated on the

characteristics plate is the same as the voltage of the power outlet you are going to use.

Open the oven door and take out all the accessories and remove the packing material, including the white polystyrene part that holds the turntable plate.

Do not remove the mica cover on the ceiling of the interior! This cover stops fat and pieces of food damaging the microwave generator.

Warning! The front surface of the oven may be wrapped with a protective film. Before using the oven for the first time, carefully remove this film, starting on the inside.

Make sure that the oven is not damaged in any way. Check that the oven door closes correctly and

that the interior of the door and the front of the oven opening are not damaged. If you find any damage contact the Technical Assistance Service.

DO NOT USE THE OVEN if the power cable or the plug are damaged, if the oven does not function correctly or if it has been damaged or dropped. Contact the Technical Assistance Service.

Put the oven on a flat and stable surface. The oven must not be put close to any sources of heat, radios or televisions.

During installation, make sure that the power cable does not come into contact with any moisture or objects with sharp edges behind the oven. High temperatures can damage the cable.

Warning: after the oven is installed you must make sure you can access the plug.

Electrical Installation

Electrical installation must be performed by an electrician qualified in accordance with the legislation in force.

Before connecting the microwave oven to the electric mains, check that the voltage and frequency of the mains matches that which is shown on the rating plate located in the cavity front, and on the guarantee certificate, which should be kept together with this manual.

The electric connection is made via plug (where accessible) or via an omnipolar switch, which is suitable for the intensity to be tolerated and which has a minimum gap of 3mm between its contacts, to ensure disconnection in case of emergency or when cleaning the microwave.

The connection should include correct earthing, in compliance with current norms. WARNING: THE

OVEN MUST BE EARTHED.

If the flexible supply cable fitted to the microwave ever needs to be changed, it should be replaced by an official After Sales Service, because it requires special tools.

The manufacturer and retailers do not accept responsibility for any damage that may be caused to

people, animals or property if these installation instructions are not observed.

After installation

The oven only functions when the door is closed

correctly. Before the first use, clean the inside of the oven and the

accessories, following the cleaning instructions given in the section “Oven cleaning and maintenance”.

Fit the Turntable support in the centre of the oven cavity and put the Turntable ring and the Turntable plate on top, making sure they slot in. Whenever you use the microwave, the turntable plate and the respective accessories must be inside and correctly fitted. The

turntable plate can rotate in both directions.

During installation, follow the instructions supplied separately.

Microwave safety

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.

Warning! 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 not be allowed to use the oven without adult supervision on account of the high temperatures generated.

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.

During use the appliance becomes hot. Care

should be taken to avoid touching heating elements inside the oven.

Warning: Accessible parts may become hot

during use. Young children should be kept away.

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.

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!

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.

Make sure you never catch the power cables

of other electrical appliances in the hot door or the oven. The cable insulation may melt.

Danger of short-circuiting!

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.

Microwave safety

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!

For carrying out oven programming tests

put a glass of water inside the oven. The water will absorb the microwaves and the oven will not be damaged.

Do not cover or obstruct the ventilation

openings.

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.

Warning! 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.

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.

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, 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 advantages of microwaves

In conventional ovens, heat radiated by electrical elements or gas burners slowly penetrates the food from outside to inside. On account of this there is a major amount of energy is wasted heating the air, the oven components and the food containers.

In a microwave oven, heat is generated by the food itself and the heat travels from inside to outside. No heat is lost to the air, the walls of the oven cavity or the dishes and containers (if these are suitable for use in microwave oven), in other words, only the food is heated.

Microwave ovens have the following advantages:

1. Shorter cooking times; in general these are up to 3/4 less than the time required for conventional cooking.

2. Ultra-fast food defrosting, thus reducing the danger of bacterial development.

3. Energy savings.

4. Conservation of the nutritional value of foods due to the shorter cooking times.

5. Easy to clean.

How a microwave oven works

In a microwave oven there is a high tension valve called a magnetron which converts electrical energy into microwave energy. These electromagnetic waves are channelled to the interior of the oven through a wave guide and distributed by a metallic spreader or through a turntable.

Inside the oven the microwaves propagate in all directions and are reflected by the metal walls, uniformly penetrating the food.

Why food heats up

Most foods contain water and water molecules vibrate when subjected to microwaves.

The friction between molecules produces heat which raises the temperature of the food, defreezing it, cooking it or keeping it hot.

Since the heat arises inside the food:

This can be cooked with little or no liquid or

fats/oils;

De-freezing, heating or cooking in a

microwave oven is quicker than in a conventional oven;

The vitamins, minerals and nutritional

substances in the food are conserved;

The natural colour and aroma of the food are

unchanged.

Microwaves pass through china, glass, cardboard or plastic but do not go through metal. For this reason, metal containers or ones with metal parts must not be used in a microwave oven.

Microwaves are reflected by metal...

... but go through glass and china...

... and are absorbed by foods.

Using the Browning Plate

Normally when cooking food, such as pizzas or pies, on a grill or in a microwave oven, the dough or pastry becomes soggy. This can be avoided by using a browning plate. As a high temperature is reached quickly on the bottom of the browning plate, the crust turns crisp and brown.

The browning plate can also be used for bacon, eggs, sausages, etc.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTES:

Use oven gloves at all times as the browning

plate will become very hot.

Never place the browning plate in the oven

without the glass plate.

Do not place any recipients on the browning

plate that are not heat-resistant (plastic bowls for example).

How to cook with the browning plate:

1. Preheat the browning plate by selecting the Microwave and Grill function for 3 to 5 minutes with a 600 W microwaves power level.

2. Brush the browning plate with oil in order to brown the food nicely.

3. Place the fresh or frozen food directly on the browning plate. You can place defrost food (like frozen pizza) without a previous defrosting.

4. Place the browning plate on the glass turntable in the microwave oven.

5. Select the Microwaves and Grill function and the cooking time as described below.

How to clean the browning plate

The best way to clean the browning plate is to wash it with hot water and detergent and rinse off with clean water. Do not use a scrubbing brush or a hard sponge otherwise the top layer will be damaged.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTES:

As the browning plate has a Teflon layer, if you

use it incorrectly, it can be damaged.

Never cut the food on the plate. Remove the

food from the plate prior to cutting.

Turn the food over preferably with a plastic or wooden spatula.

Defrosting

General instructions for defrosting

1. When defrosting, use only dishes that are appropriate for microwaves (china, glass, suitable plastic).

2. The defrost function by weight and the tables refer to the defrosting of raw food.

3. The defrosting time depends on the quantity and thickness of the food. When freezing food keep the defrosting process in mind. Distribute the food evenly in the container.

4. Distribute the food as best as possible inside the oven. The thickest parts of fish or chicken drumsticks should be turned towards the outside. You can protect the most delicate parts of food with pieces of aluminium foil. Important: The aluminium foil must not come into contact with the oven cavity interior as this can cause electrical arcing.

5. Thick portions of food should be turned several times.

6. Distribute the frozen food as evenly as possible since narrow and thin portions defrost more quickly than the thicker and broader parts.

7. Fat-rich foods such as butter, cream cheese and cream should not be completely defrosted. If they are kept at room temperature they will be ready to be served in a few minutes. With ultra-frozen cream, if you find small pieces of ice in it, you should mix these in before serving.

8. Place poultry on an upturned plate so that the meat juices can run off more easily.

9. Bread should be wrapped in a napkin so that it does not become too dry.

10. Turn the food at regular intervals.

11. Remove frozen food from its wrapping and do not forget to take off any metal twist-tags. For containers that are used to keep frozen food in the freezer and which can also be used for heating and cooking, all you need to do is take off the lid. For all other cases you should put the food into containers that are suitable for microwave use.

12. The liquid resulting from defrosting, principally that from poultry should be discarded. In no event should such liquids be allowed to come into contact with other foods.

13. Do not forget that by using the defrosting function you need to allow for standing time until the food is completely defrosted.

Cooking with a microwave oven

Warning! Read the section “Microwave Safety” before cooking with your microwave.

Follow these recommendations when cooking with your microwave:

Before heating or cooking foods with peel or

skin (e.g. apples, tomatoes, potatoes, sausages) prick them so that they do not burst. Cut the food up before starting to prepare it.

Before using a container or dish make sure that

it is suitable for microwave use (see the section on types of ovenware).

When cooking food with very little moisture

(e.g. defrosting bread, making popcorn, etc.) evaporation is very quick. The oven then works as if it was empty and the food may burn. The oven and the container may be damaged in such a situation. You should therefore set just the cooking time necessary and you must keep a close eye on the cooking process.

It is not possible to heat large quantities of oil

(frying) in the microwave.

Remove pre-cooked food from the containers

they come in since these are not always heat

resistant. Follow the food manufacturer’s

instructions.

If you have several containers, such as cups,

for example, set them out uniformly on the turntable plate.

Do not close plastic bags with metal clips. Use

plastic clips instead. Prick the bags several times so that the steam can escape easily.

When heating or cooking foods, check that they

reach at least a temperature of 70°C.

During cooking, steam may form on the oven

door window and may start to drip. This situation is normal and may be more noticeable

if the room temperature is low. The oven’s safe

working is not affected by this. After you have finished cooking, clean up the water coming from the condensation

When heating liquids, use containers with a

wide opening, so that the steam can evaporate easily.

Prepare the foods as per the instructions and keep in mind the cooking times and power levels indicated in the tables.

Keep in mind that the figures given are only indicative and can vary depending on the initial state, temperature, moisture and type of food. It is advisable to adjust the times and power levels to each situation. Depending on the exact characteristics of the food you may need to increase or shorten the cooking times or increase or decrease the power levels.

Cooking with microwaves...

1. The greater the amount of food, the longer the cooking time. Keep in mind that:

Double the quantity » double the time Half the quantity » half the time

2. The lower the temperature, the longer the cooking time.

3. Foods containing a lot of liquid heat up more quickly.

4. Cooking will be more uniform if the food is evenly distributed on the turntable. If you put dense foods on the outside part of the plate and less dense ones on the centre of the plate, you can heat up different types of food simultaneously.

5. You can open the oven door at any time. When you do this the oven switches off automatically. The microwave will only start working again when you close the door.

6. Foods that are covered require less cooking time and retain their characteristics better. The lids used must let microwaves pass through and have small holes that allow steam to escape.

Cooking with the grill

For good results with the grill, use the grid iron supplied with the oven.

IMPORTANT POINTS:

1. When the microwave grill is used for the first time there will be some smoke and a smell coming from the oils used during oven manufacture.

2. The oven door window becomes very hot when the grill is working. Keep children away.

3. When the grill is operating, the cavity walls and the grid iron become very hot. You should use oven gloves.

4. If the grill is used for extended period of time it is normal to find that the elements will switch themselves off temporarily due to the safety thermostat.

5. Important! When food is to be grilled or cooked in containers you must check that the container in question is suitable for microwave use. See the section on types of ovenware!

6. When the grill is used it is possible that some splashes of fat may go onto the elements and be burnt. This is a normal situation and does not mean there is any kind of operating fault.

7. After you have finished cooking, clean the interior and the accessories so that cooking remains do not become encrusted.

Heat up the grill beforehand for 2 minutes. Unless indicated otherwise, use the grid iron. Place the grid on a bowl so that the water and the fat can drop. The times shown are merely indicative and can vary as a function of the composition and quantity of the food, as well as the final condition wished for. Fish and meat taste great if, before grilling, you brush them with vegetable oil, spices and herbs and leave to marinate for a few hours. Only add salt after grilling.

Sausages will not burst if you prick them with a fork before grilling.

After half the grilling time has passed, check on how the cooking is going and, if necessary, turn the food over.

The grill is especially suitable for cooking thin portions of meat and fish. Thin portions of meat only need to be turned once, but thicker portions should be turned several times.

Before using dishes and containers in the microwave, check that they are microwave-safe. Only use dishes that are microwave-safe.

The dishes used in the combined function must be suitable for both microwave and grill. See the table on the types of dishes to be used.

Remember that the values provided are merely indicative in nature and that they may vary depending on the initial state, the temperature, humidity and the type of food.

If the time is not sufficient to brown the food properly, set the grill function for 5 or 10 minutes more.

“Au gratin” dishes and poultry require between 3

and 5 minutes more cooking time, so that the temperature is distributed uniformly in the food.

If there are no instructions to the contrary, the rotating plate should be used in the cooking process.

The values indicated in the tables are valid for when the cavity is cold (no preheating required in advance).

What kind of ovenware can be used?

Microwave function

For the microwave function, keep in mind that microwaves are reflected by metal surfaces. Glass, china, clay, plastic, and paper let microwaves pass.

For this reason, metal pans and dishes or

containers with metal parts or decorations cannot be used in the microwave. Glass ware

and clay with metallic decoration or content (e.g. lead crystal) cannot be used in microwave ovens.

The ideal materials for use in microwave ovens are glass, refractory china or clay, or heat resistant plastic. Very thin, fragile glass or china should only be used for short period of times (e.g. heating).

Hot food transmits heat to the dishes which can become very hot. You should, therefore, always use an oven glove!

How to test ovenware you want to use

Put the item you want to use in the oven for 20 seconds at maximum microwave power. After that time, if it is cold and just slightly warm, it is suitable to use. However, if it heats up a lot or causes electric arcing it is not suitable for microwave use.

Grill

In the case of the grill function, the ovenware must be resistant to temperature of at least 300°C.

Plastic dishes are not suitable for use in the grill.

Combined functions

In the microwave + grill function, the ovenware used must be suitable for use in both the microwave and the grill.

Aluminium containers and foil

Pre-cooked food in aluminium containers or in aluminium foil can be put in the microwave if the following aspects are respected:

Keep in mind the manufacturer’s

recommendations written on the packaging.

The aluminium containers cannot be more

than 3 cm high or come in contact with the cavity walls (minimum distance 3 cm). Any aluminium lid or top must be removed.

Put the aluminium container directly on top

of the turntable plate. If you use the grid iron, put the container on a china plate. Never put the container directly on the grid iron!

The cooking time is longer because the

microwaves only enter the food from the top. If you have any doubts, it is best to use only dishes suitable for microwave use.

Aluminium foil can be used to reflect

microwaves during the defrosting process. Delicate food, such as poultry or minced meat, can be protected from excessive heat by covering the respective extremities/edges.

Important: aluminium foil cannot come into

contact with the cavity walls since this may cause electrical arcing.

Lids

We recommend you use glass or plastic lids or cling film since:

1. This will stop excessive evaporation (mainly

during very long cooking times);

2. The cooking times are shorter;

3. The food does not become dry;

4. The aroma is preserved.

The lid should have holes or openings so that no pressure develops. Plastic bags must also be opened. Baby feeding bottles or jars with baby food and similar containers can only be heated without their tops / lids otherwise they can burst.

Oven Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning is the only maintenance normally required.

Warning! Your microwave oven should be cleaned regularly, with all food remains being removed. If the microwave is not kept clean its surfaces may deteriorate, reducing the oven’s

working life and possibly resulting in a dangerous situation.

Warning! Cleaning should be done with the oven power switched off. Take the plug out of

the socket or switch off the oven’s power

circuit. Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning

products, scourers that scratch surfaces or sharp objects, since stains may appear.

Do not use high pressure or stream jet cleaning appliances.

Front surface

Normally you just need to clean the oven with a damp cloth. If it is very dirty, add a few drops of dishwashing liquid to the cleaning water. Afterwards, wipe the oven with a dry cloth.

In an oven with an aluminium front, use a glass cleaning product and a soft cloth that does not release any fibres or threads. Wipe from side to side without exerting any pressure on the surface.

Immediately remove lime, fat, starch or egg white stains. Corrosion can occur under these stains.

Do not let any water get inside the oven.

Oven interior

After each time the oven is used, clean the inside walls with a damp cloth since this is the easiest way to remove splashes or spots of food that may have stuck to the inside.

To remove dirt that is harder to shift, use a nonaggressive cleaning product. Do not use oven

sprays or other aggressive or abrasive cleaning products.

Always keep the door and the oven front very clean to ensure that the door opens and closes properly.

Make sure water does not enter the microwave ventilation holes.

Regularly take out the turntable plate and the respective support and clean the cavity base, especially after any liquid spillage.

Do not switch on the oven without the turntable and the respective support being in place.

If the oven cavity is very dirty, put a glass of water on the turntable and switch on the microwave oven for 2 or 3 minutes at maximum power. The steam released will soften the dirt which can then be cleaned easily using a soft cloth.

Unpleasant odours (e.g. after cooking fish) can be eliminated easily. Put a few drops of lemon juice in a cup with water. Put a spoonful of coffee in the cup to avoid the water boiling over. Heat the water for 2 to 3 minutes at maximum microwave power.

Oven Cleaning and Maintenance

Oven ceiling

If the oven ceiling is dirty, the grill can be lowered to make cleaning easier.

To avoid the danger of burning, wait until the grill is cold before lowering it. Proceed as follows:

1. Turn the grill support by 180º (1).

2. Lower the grill gently (2). Do not use excessive force as this may cause damage.

3. After cleaning the ceiling, put the grill (2) back in its place, carrying out the previous operation.

IMPORTANT WARNING: The grill heating element support (1) may fall when it is rotated. If this happens, insert the grill heating element support (1) into the slot in the ceiling of the cavity and rotate it 90º to the grill heating element support (2) position.

The mica cover (3) located in the ceiling must always be kept clean. Any food remains that

collect on the mica cover can cause damage or provoke sparks.

Do not use abrasive cleaning products or sharp objects.

To avoid any risk, do not remove the mica cover.

The glass lamp cover (4) is located on the oven ceiling and can be removed easily for cleaning. For this you just need to unscrew it and clean it with water and dishwashing liquid.

Accessories

Clean the accessories after each use. If they are very dirty, soak them first of all and then use a brush and sponge. The accessories can be washed in a dish washing machine.

Make sure that the turntable plate and the respective support are always clean. Do not switch on the oven unless the turntable and the respective support are in place.

What should I do if the oven doesn’t work?

WARNING! Any type of repair must only be done by a specialised technician. Any repair done by a person not authorised by the manufacturer is dangerous.

You do not need to contact Technical Assistance to resolve the following questions:

The oven does not work! Check if:

- The plug is correctly fitted in the socket.

- The oven’s power is switched on.

- The door is completely closed. The door

should close with an audible click.

- There are any foreign bodies between the

door and the cavity front.

When the oven is operating I can hear

some strange noises! Check if:

- There is any electrical arcing inside the oven

caused by foreign metallic objects (see section on type of ovenware).

- The ovenware is touching the oven walls.

- There are any loose items of cutlery or

cooking tools inside the oven.

The food doesn’t heat up or heats very

slowly! Check if:

- You have inadvertently used metal

ovenware.

- You have selected the correct operating

times and power level.

- The food you have put inside the oven is a

larger amount or colder than you usually put in.

The food is too hot, dried out or burnt!

Check if you selected the correct operating time and power level.

I hear some noises after the cooking

process is finished! This is not a problem. The cooling fan keeps on working for some time. When the temperature has dropped sufficiently, the fan will switch itself off.

The oven switches on but the interior

light does not go on! If all the functions work properly it is probable that the lamp has blown. You can keep on using the oven.

Substitution of light bulb

To substitute the light bulb, proceed as follows:

- Disconnect the oven from the power supply. Take the plug out of the socket or switch off the oven’s power circuit.

- Unscrew and remove the glass light cover (1).

- Remove the halogen light bulb (2). Warning! The bulb may be very hot.

- Fit a new G4 / 12V / 20W halogen bulb.

Warning! Do not touch the light bulb surface directly with your fingers because you may damage the bulb.

Follow the lamp manufacturer’s instructions.

- Screw the glass light cover into place (1).

Connect the oven again to the power supply.

Pendant l'installation, assurez-vous que le câble d'alimentation n'entre en contact ni avec de l'humidité, ni avec des objets aux bords coupants, ni avec la partie arrière du four en raison de ses températures élevées.

Attention : la prise de courant doit rester accessible, une fois le four installé.

Installation électrique

L’installation électrique doit être réalisée par un

électricien qualifié conformément à la législation en vigueur.

Avant de brancher le four micro-ondes à l’alimentation générale, vérifiez que la tension et la fréquence du secteur correspondent à ce qui est précisé sur la plaque des caractéristiques située sur l’avant de la

cavité et sur le certificat de garantie; il convient de conserver ce dernier avec le présent manuel.

L’alimentation électrique s’effectue par une prise (lorsqu’elle est accessible) ou par un interrupteur omnipolaire, adapté à l’intensité tolérée et qui présente

un espace minimum de 3 mm entre les contacts, pour assurer la mise hors circuit en cas d’arrêt d’urgence ou pour le nettoyage du micro-ondes.

La connection doit inclure une mise à la terre correcte, conformément aux normes en vigueur. ATTENTION :

LE FOUR DOIT ÊTRE OBLIGATOIREMENT RELIÉ À LA TERRE.

Si le câble souple fourni qui alimente le micro-ondes

nécessite d’être changé, cette manipulation doit être

effectuée par un intervenant agrée du Service après ventes, car cela requiert des outils spéciaux.

Dans le cas où nos instructions d'installation ne seraient pas respectées, le fabricant et les revendeurs n'engagent pas leur responsabilité pour d'éventuels dommages subis par les personnes, les animaux ou les biens.

Après l'installation Le four ne fonctionne que si la porte est

correctement fermée. Avant la première utilisation, nettoyez l'intérieur du four

ainsi que les accessoires en suivant les indications figurant au point « Nettoyage et entretien du four ».

Emboîtez le manchon dans le centre de la cavité du four, placez le support du plateau puis le plateau rotatif qui doit s'emboîter. Chaque fois que le four est utilisé, il est important que ces accessoires soient à l'intérieur du four et correctement placés. Le plateau rotatif

peut tourner dans les deux sens.

Pendant l'installation, suivez les instructions fournies séparément.

Consignes de sécurité

Attention! Lors de l'utilisation des micro-

ondes, veuillez retirer de l'appreil tout objet métallique. Les grilles et les plans de cuisson ne doivent être utilisés qu'avec les fonctions gril et convection.

Attention ! Vous devez surveiller votre four si

vous utilisez du papier, du plastique ou autres matériaux inflammables. Ces matériaux peuvent être carbonisés et brûler. RISQUE DE FEU !

Attention ! Si du feu ou des flammes se

dégagent, gardez la porte fermée pour étouffer les flammes. Éteignez le four et débranchez la prise de courant ou coupez l'alimentation électrique.

Attention ! Ne chauffez pas de l’alcool pur ni des

boissons alcooliques. RISQUE DE FEU !

Attention ! N'utilisez pas des récipients fermés

pour chauffer des liquides ou d’autres aliments, ils

pourraient éclater facilement.

Attention ! Cet appareil n’est pas destiné à être

utilisé par des personnes (y compris des enfants) qui auraient des capacités physiques, sensorielles ou mentales diminuées; ou qui ne possèderaient

pas l’expérience et la connaissance nécessaire, à moins qu’elles ne soient supervisées ou que des

instructions ne leur aient été fournies par une personne responsable de leur sécurité, pour l’utilisation appropriée de l’appareil.

Attention ! Il est nécessaire de surveiller les

enfants pour s’assurer qu’ils ne jouent pas avec

l’appareil.

Attention ! Si le four possède un mode de

fonctionnement combiné (micro-ondes plus autres moyens de chauffage), ne laissez pas les enfants utiliser le four sans la présence d'un adulte en raison des hautes températures générées.

Attention! Le four ne peut pas être utilisé si:

- La porte ne ferme pas correctement ;

- Les gonds de la porte sont endommagés ;

- Les surfaces de contact entre la porte et l'avant de l'appareil sont endommagées ;

- La vitre de la porte est endommagée ;

- Il y a fréquemment un arc électrique à l'intérieur, malgré l'absence de tout objet métallique.

Le four ne peut être réutilisé qu'après avoir été réparé par un technicien du Service d'assistance technique.

Au cours de l’utilisation, l’appareil devient chaud. Il

faut faire attention à ne pas toucher les éléments de chauffage à l’intérieur du four.

Attention ! Au cours de l’utilisation, il est possible

que des parties accessibles deviennent chaudes. Les jeunes enfants doivent être tenus à l’écart.

N'utilisez pas de produits abrasifs, ou des

spatules lors du nettoyage de la vitre de la porte du four, car vous pouvez rayer la surface et éventuellement briser la vitre.

Attention!

Ne mettez jamais ni bouchon, ni couvercle, ni

tétine sur les récipients destinés à chauffer les aliments pour bébés. Après avoir chauffé l'aliment, remuez ou agitez bien afin de distribuer uniformément la chaleur. Vous devez vérifier la température de l'aliment avant de le donner à l'enfant. DANGER DE BRÛLURE !

Pour éviter que les aliments ne chauffent trop ou

ne prennent feu, il est très important, quand vous chauffez de petites quantités d'aliments, de ne pas sélectionner des périodes de fonctionnement trop longues, ni des niveaux de puissance trop élevés. Le pain, par exemple, peut brûler au bout de 3 m avec une puissance trop élevée.

Utilisez la fonction gril uniquement pour gratiner et

surveillez constamment l’appareil. Si vous utilisez un mode de fonctionnement combiné pour le gril, prêtez attention au temps.

N'approchez jamais les câbles d'alimentation

d'autres appareils électriques de la porte chaude du four. La gaine isolante pourrait fondre. Danger

de court-circuit !

Attention quand vous chauffez des liquides !

Si vous retirez des liquides du four (eau, café, thé, lait, etc..) lorsqu'ils sont près d'atteindre leur point d'ébullition, ils peuvent déborder ou des gouttes peuvent être projetées hors du récipient. DANGER DE LÉSIONS ET DE BRÛLURES !

Pour éviter cette situation, mettez une petite cuillère ou une baguette en verre dans le récipient dont vous chauffez le contenu.
