Safety Instructions
• The built-in safety interlock switches prevent the microwave oven from operating when the door is open.
• Do not tamper with them, or attempt to operat e the oven with the door open as open door operation can result in exposure to microwave energy.
• Do not allow food spills or cleaner residue to accumulate on door sealing surfaces. See the Cleaning and Care section for cleaning instructions.
• Do not operate the oven if it is damage d until it has been repaired by qualified service personnel.
• It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) door (warped), (2) hinges and latches (broken or insecure), (3) door seals and sealing surface.
• Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local Service Force Centre.
• Do not remove the outer case, door or control panel at any time. Doing so may cause exposure to extremely high voltage.
• Install or locate this oven only in accordance with “INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS” found in this manual.
• Use the appliance for its intended us e as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or def rost food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use neither for commercial use as this will invalidate the guarantee.
• Do not operate the oven empty. If food or water is not present to absorb the microwave energy, t he magnetron tube can be damaged.
• Close supervision is necessary when the oven is used by children.
• Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water.
• Do not attempt to dry clothing or newspap ers in the microwave oven. These items can ignite.
• Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.
Utensil safety
Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-resistant glassware utensils are excellent for use in the microwave oven. Although microwave energy will not heat most glass and ceramic items, these utensils can become hot as heat transfers from the food to the container. The use of oven gloves to remove dishes is recommended.
Safety instructions when cooking with grill
or combination modes.
1. The glass viewing window may break if water is spilled on it during grilling or convection cooking.
2. Be sure to use an oven glove when loading and unloading the oven. Containers get very hot in the oven, so be careful not to burn yourself. The turn­table and metal rack also get very hot so be sure to use an oven glove when handling them.
3. Do not touch the inner or outer viewing window with metal components when loading or unloading the oven. The inside of the door and oven get very hot so take care when attending food in the oven.
4. Do not put the turntable or containers in cold water or try to cool them quickly after use.
5. Do not place items on top of the cabinet. The top of the cabinet gets very hot, so anything placed on it may be damaged by the heat.
It is quite normal for steam to be emitted around
the door, or for misting to occur on the door, or even for water droplets to appear below the door during the cooking cycle. This is merely condensation from the heat of the food and does not affect the safety of your oven. The door is not intended to seal the oven cavity completely.
• Do not force the turntable to rotate by hand. This may cause malfunctioning.
• Arcing in the oven during microwave operation usually occurs from use of metallic utensils. Continuous arcing, however, can damage the unit. Stop the programme and check the utensil.
• Care should be taken not to obstruct any air vents
located on the top, rear, side and bottom of the oven
.
m Do not use this oven for commercial
purposes. This oven is made for domestic use only.

Testing suitability of cookware Food safety
Do not heat food in a can in the microwave oven.
• Place the cookware in the microwave along wit h a glass half full of water. Heat on 900 W (100%) for one minute. If the cookware feels hot, you shou ld not use it. If it is just slightly warm, you can use it for reheating but not for cooking. If the dish is room temperature, it is suitable for microwave cooking.
• Paper napkins, wax paper, paper towels, plat es, cups, cartons, freezer wrap and cardboard are great convenience utensils. Always be sure containers are filled with food to absorb energy and thus avoid the possibility of overheat ing.
• Many plastic dishes, cups, freezer containers an d plastic wraps may be used in the microwave
oven. Follow manufacturer’s instructions wh en using plastics in the oven. Avoid using plastic utensils with foods that have high fat or sugar content since these foods reach high temperatures and could melt some plastics. Metal utensils and utensils with metallic trim
•
should not be used in the microwave oven, unl ess specifically recommended for microwave use. Containers with restricted openings, such as
•
bottles, should not be used for microwave cooking. Use caution when removing a lid or cover from a
•
dish to avoid steam burns.
WARNING : Do not leave oven unattend ed, and
look at it from time to time when heating or cooking food in plastic, paper or other combustible containers. If smoke i s ob served, keep door closed, switch the oven off or disconnect oven until smoke stops.
•
Always remove the food to a suitable container. Deep fat frying should not be done in the
•
microwave oven, because the fat temperature cannot be controlled, hazardous situations can result. Popcorn may be prepared in the microwave oven,
•
but only in special packages or utensils designed specifically for this purpose. This cooking operation should never be un-attended. Pierce foods with non-porous skins or
•
membranes to prevent steam build-up and bursting. Apples, potatoes, chicken liv ers, and egg yolks are examples of items that should be pierced.
WARNING: When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces and beverages in your microwave oven, overheat ing the liquid beyond boiling point can occu r without evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid. To prevent t his possibility the following steps should be taken:
1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
2. Do not overheat.
3. Stir the liquid before placing the cont ainer in the oven and again halfway through the he at ing time.
4. After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the container.
Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
•
containers – for example, closed glass jars – may explode and should not be heated in this oven. Occasionally, poached eggs may explode during cooking. Always pierce the yolk, then cover and allow the standing time of one minute b ef ore removing cover.
NOTE:
Do not force the turntable to rotate by hand. This
•
may cause malfunctioning. Arcing in the oven during microwave operation
•
usually occurs from use of metallic ut ensils. Continuous arcing, however, can damag e the unit. Stop the programme and check the utens il. Care should be taken not to obstruct any air vents
•
located on the top, rear, side and bottom of t he oven.
Do not use this oven for commercial purposes.
This oven is made for domestic u se on ly.

This category is ideal for cooking/reheating uncooked frozen sandwiches (rolls, baguettes, etc.) available on the market. It is also perfect for reheating slices of pizza (max 200g) that are sold pre-cooked (e.g. speedy pizza) and slices of
“focaccia” bread (150-180g). This category is ideal for cooking raw pastry mini pizzas
(max 10-12 pieces). Depending on the type of pizza, they may be cooked either in this category or in the “ Sn03 “category. In addition, it is also ideal for reheating chicken pieces and for cooking hamburgers (max 2, that is, 150g).
This category is ideal for cooking hamburgers (max 3-4, that is, 300g) and for cooking savouries (max 280g), all types of potatoes (croquettes, “patate duchessa”, etc.) and some types of mini pizzas (max 10-12).
This category is ideal for heating frozen pre-cooked pies (courgette pies, “stracchino” pie, etc.) available on the market. It is also ideal for raw frozen croissants (min. 3-4) and for cooking savouries (min. 300g).
This category is ideal for cooking raw frozen pies (“torta pasqualina”, artichoke pie, ricotta and spinach pies, etc.) available on the market (that is, to be cooked rather than just reheated).
Do not cook more than 300g of bread (4-5 pieces) at a time. To avoid burning your mouth, break the bread in half after removing it from the oven, so as to release the heat from inside the soft part.
Keep the pizzas an equal distance apart, because during cooking they rise and risk, if overlapping, not being cooked evenly. Hamburgers should be turned over halfway through cooking.
The hamburgers should be turned over halfway through cooking. Keep the savouries and the pizzas an equal distance apart to prevent them from sticking together.
In the case of croissants or savouries, keep them an equal distance apart, as during cooking they swell and risk sticking together (and thus not cooking properly).
Remove the pie from the packaging and place it directly on the pre-heated grill plate. Recommended for pies weighing around 700g.

Microwave Tips
Microwave Hints
Always keep the oven clean – avoid spill-overs
•
and do not forget to clean under the glass tray and the inside of the door. Preferably use round or oval casseroles with a lid
•
when cooking in your microwave oven. Do not use metal or metal decorated casseroles.
•
Certain plastic materials can melt and be warp ed by hot food. Cover the food when cooking. Use a glass lid, a
•
plate or grease proof paper. Pastry, bread and the like can be defrosted
•
directly in a bread basket or on a paper towel. If frozen food is heated in its packaging, t he
•
packaging should be opened. Packaging containing metal or metal decoration must not be used unless specifically recommended for use in the microwave. Remove metal clips and wire ties. Smaller pieces of aluminium foil can be used t o
•
cover parts that easily over cook such as chicken legs. Food with peel or skin should be pierced wit h a
•
fork – e.g. potatoes and sausages. Do not boil eggs in the microwave oven as they can explode. Put large, thick pieces close to the edge of the
•
casserole and try to cut the food in to even sized pieces. Always place the food in the centre of t he oven. The food will be evenly cooked if you stir or turn it
•
a few times. Always set a shorter cooking time than indicated
•
in your recipe to avoid over cooking. The larger the amount of food the longer it takes. Use little or no water for vegetables.
•
Use less salt and spices than for ‘normal’ cookin g.
•
Season afterwards.
•
Allow a few minutes ‘standing’ time after the oven
•
has switched off to ensure complete and even cooking results. Always ensure food is piping hot throughout
•
before serving. Use pot holders or gloves when taking dishes and
•
food from the oven.
Softening Honey
•
If you have a jar of honey which has crystallised, remove lid and pl ac e the jar in the oven, microwave on medium power for 2 minutes.
Melting Chocolate
•
Break 100g of chocolate into squares, place in A bowl and heat on high power for 1-2 minutes and stir well.
Softening or Melting Butter
•
Melting takes a few seconds on high power. Softening is best done more gently on low power.
Freshen or Warm Bread
•
Use medium power for few seconds.
Peeling Garlic easily
•
Heat 3 or 4 cloves of garlic on high power for 15 seconds. Squeeze at one end until the clove pops out.
Fruit Juice
•
Citrus fruits will yield more juic e if they are heated on high power for 15 seconds before squeezing.
Cooking Porridge
•
Porridge is easily cooked in the serving dish with no sticky pan to wash. Follow food manufacturers’ recommendations.

Care and cleanin
The oven must always be clean. Residue of f ood f r om spillovers or spatters will attract microwave energy causing it to burn on. This could reduce the eff iciency of the oven and may cause bad odours. Do not att empt to tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to any part of the oven. Repairs should only be done by a qualified service technician.
Be sure the oven is disconnected from the electricity supply before cleaning.
Cleaning the accessories (turntable and support)
Clean them with mild detergent after removing them from the cavity. The turntable support should be carefully handled.
CAUTION: The inside of the oven and t urnt able get very hot, so do not touch them immediately af t er use.
Cleaning the interior
Always keep the inside of the oven clean. Wipe up spill-overs and food spatters immediately. Deposits that are allowed to remain on the oven walls, door seal and door surface will absorb microwave energy, reduce the efficiency of the oven, and possibly damag e the oven interior. Use mild, liquid deterg ent, warm water and a soft, clean cloth to remove deposits.
NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS, COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS OR STEEL WOOL PADS ON ANY PART OF THE MICROWAVE OVE N.
To loosen difficult deposits, boil a cup of water in the microwave oven for 2 or 3 minutes.
NEVER USE A KNIFE OR ANY UTENSIL TO REMOVE DEPOSITS FROM OVEN SURFACES.
To remove odours from the oven interior, boil a cup of water plus 2 tablespoons of lemon juice for 5 minutes.
Cleaning the Grill
The element may be stained with spattered f at or oil while the oven is in use. Wait until the cavity cools down and wipe off the spattered oil before next using of the oven. Stains grill may cause unpleasant odours and smoke.
The turntable motor is sealed. Nevertheless, be careful to avoid the water pene-trati ng under the turntable spindle (D) when the bottom of the oven is being cleaned.
To make the cleaning of the inside of the oven easier, the upper heating element can be lowered by turning the ceramic hook.
Cleaning the exterior
Open the oven door when cleaning the control panel. This will prevent the oven f rom being turned on accidentally. You should clean outside surfaces of the oven with mild liquid deterg ent and water followed by a wiping with clear water to remove any excess deterg ent. Dry with a soft cloth.
Spray-on window cleaners or all purpose spray-on kitchen cleaners can also be used. Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads or harsh chemicals on outsi de surf aces of your oven. To prevent damage to the working parts, do not allow water to seep into ventilation openings.
