• Only Grill Version Important safety instructions ENG Read carefully and keep for future reference. 1. Your appliance is for domestic use. It is intended only for cooking, heating and defrosting foods and drinks. Use it only for these purposes. 2. This appliance is not designed to be used by persons (including children) of reduced physical, sensorial or mental capacity or persons with no experience or knowledge, unless they are instructed and supervised in the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety, supervision or instruction prior to use of the appliance.

3. Young children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with

the appliance. Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions have been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use. Beware of the risk of burns. The accessible parts may become hot during use. It is recommended to keep them out of reach of young children.

4. During use, the appliance becomes hot. Be careful not to touch the heating

elements inside the oven. The same also applies to the door, the grill element, the inner (cavity) walls, the top surface. In order to avoid burns when removing containers and accessories from the oven, always use oven gloves.

5. This appliance is not intended to be operated using an external timer or

separate remote control system.

6. Do not operate your appliance when empty. This can cause damage. To try

out programming the appliance, place a glass of water in the oven. This will absorb the microwaves and protect your oven against damage.

7. The door must be free to close properly :

Do not obstruct the door in any way (with oven cloths, oven gloves, over-size dishes etc.). If the door of your appliance is not properly closed, a safety mechanism will prevent its being turned on.

8. When cooking in grill mode, any fat splashing the grill element may

catch fire. These flames will extinguish themselves and will not have any adverse effect on your appliance if it is regularly maintained. To avoid fat spitting during cooking, especially when cooking meats and poultry, use dishes in glazed earthenware. Always maintain a minimum gap of 2 cm between the food and the grill element. 9. Never obstruct the ventilation holes. This can cause the oven to overheat. If this happens, your appliance will stop automatically and will not start again until it has cooled sufficiently.

10. Precautions against exposure to microwaves :

It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation that involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

• Never attempt to operate your appliance with the door open, to interfere with the safety door-locking mechanism or to insert anything in this mechanism.
• Never place anything in the way of opening and closing the door.
• Never allow food or cleaning product residues to accumulate on the door seals. Ensure that the door and its seals remain clean. After use, wipe them with a damp cloth and dry them carefully.

• It is particularly important that the oven door should close correctly and that there is no defect in : - the door, the seals, the hinges, - the supply cable. If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it ha benn repaired by a competent person. If the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after sales service or some other competent persons in order to avoid any hazard. 11. For your safety, this appliance is compliant with the applicable standards and regulations (Low Voltage, Electromagnetic Compatibility, Materials in Contact with Foodstuffs and Environmental Directives). Never use your oven if it is damaged. In no case should your oven be adjusted or repaired by anyone other than a qualified microwave appliance repair technician, trained by the manufacturer. Instructions for use These instructions have not been devised for the UK market. The recipes have also been devised using flour, yeast and food ingredients not available in the UK. Recipes made using flour and yeast available in the UK may give significantly different results and be unsuccessful. The following recommendations will help you get the greatest benefit from using your oven. Please read them carefully. Foods Forbidden foods You should never :
• Attempt to fry food – it is impossible to control the temperature of the oil and other fats – fire-risk,
• Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended.
• Attempt to cook food in an intact shell (e.g. chestnuts) or hard skin (tomatoes, potatoes, sausages) – always make a slit. Food temperatures The action of microwaves is such that only the food is heated. The container may, therefore, remain cold or cool while the food that it contains is burning hot. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns. Shake feeding bottles well and try a few drops on the back of your wrist to check the temperature. Preparing food for cooking Before warming feeding bottles and small pots, remove teats and covers. Remember to cover the food in order to :
• Avoid any splashing of the oven cavity,
• Retain sufficient moisture for cooking.

• Only Grill Version Heating liquids Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container. In fact, when the temperature reaches boiling point, steam tends to remain trapped in the liquid until it is disturbed. To avoid this superheating effect and the consequent risk of scalding, always place a plastic spoon in the liquid to be heated. Combined microwave + grill mode * Containers not permitted in microwave mode are also not permitted in combined mode. Containers not permitted in grill mode are also not permitted in combined mode. Use only containers that can withstand both microwaves and high temperatures. Containers and materials ENG Summary of containers and materials permitted and not permitted in microwave mode. Only use ustensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens. Materials Containers Below, you will find details of the various types of containers, which can be or must not be used for the chosen cooking method. Suitable for micro-waves Remarks METAL microwave mode Use containers suitable for microwave cooking. A container can easily be tested for microwave “transparency”. Place the empty container on the turntable together with a glass of water and run the oven for one minute at maximum power. After one minute:
• If the container is cold, it is “transparent” and can be used for microwave cooking,
• If the container is warm or hot it is absorbent and must not be used for microwave cooking. Aluminium foil In certain cases Aluminium tray Metal sheet Freezer bag ties In certain cases

May be used in small quantities to protect certain parts of the food from overcooking. Risk of electric arcing if the foil is too close to the oven walls or you have used too much. See “Metal containers”, above Risk of electric arcing and fire Risk of electric arcing and fire GLASS Never use hermetically sealed containers. Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode. Remember to remove covers and stoppers from feeding bottles, jars, bottles and plastic containers. Heat-resistant glass Yes Glass with metal-based decora- No tion (gold, lead etc.) Perfectly suitable Risk of electric arcing Fine glassware

May break or crack if heated suddenly Plastic containers Yes Perfectly suitable if the plastic is heat-resistant. Certain plastics may be prone to deformation or discoloration after repeated use. Do not seal closed. Plastic film Yes Can be used to retain moisture and prevent spitting. The plastic must not touch the food during cooking. Puncture the plastic to allow excess vapour to escape. Use oven gloves to remove the plastic film after cooking (risk of burns from hot vapour escaping from the container). PLASTIC Disposable containers When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames. Metal containers Never use metallic materials and containers for microwave cooking. You can, however, use your appliance to heat or defrost certain preparations in metallic trays, provided the height of the tray does not exceed 4 cm, not including the cover. With regard to the cover, follow the instructions on the package. It will have to be removed or left in place, as the case may be. If not indicated otherwise, play safe and remove it. Centre the tray(s) on the turntable, leaving at least 1 cm clearance from the oven walls. If there are several trays, space them at least 2 cm apart.

DISPOSABLE CONTAINER MATERIALS FORBIDDEN IN GRILL

Polystyrene cups or packaging grill mode * This cooking mode does not require the use of special containers. Use the same kind of heat-proof containers as you would use in a conventional oven. Never use plastic containers (they may melt) or containers in paper or cardboard (fire-risk). Yes Can be used for heating liquids and foods for a short time. Overheating could melt the polystyrene, which would then become mixed with the food. Paper bag Paper plates, cups, napkins or Yes absorbent paper. Fire-risk May be used for heating and brief cooking Grease-proof paper Yes Can be used to retain moisture and prevent spitting. Short times cooking. Recycled paper

Risk of electric arcing Yes Perfectly suitable except with metal-based decoration (gold, lead etc.). PORCELAIN Porcelain containers Maintain a minimum clearance of 2 cm between the food and the grill element.
