Please read this user manual carefully. It contains important instructions concerning installation, use and security measures.

INSTALLATION

BEFORE CONNECTION

• Check whether your oven has suffered any damage during transport (deformed door or door seal, etc.). If you see any signs of damage, contact your dealer before use.
• Verify the power voltage. If there is a PERMANENT undervoltage (200-210 volts), consult your electrical installer.

LOCATION

• The oven must be set on a work surface at least 85~cm above floor level.
• Place the oven on a flat and horizontal surface, away from any source of heat or steam. To ensure the stability of the microwave oven, the front left foot is adjustable (5 positions). Turn it to raise or lower the appliance.

• Make sure that air may circulate freely around the oven.

Leave sufficient space around the oven :

• 5 cm between the sides of the oven and any walls or objects
• 14 cm above the oven

• 10 cm behind the oven.

• Allow nothing to obstruct the ventilation louvers at the back of the appliance.

• Make sure the electrical plug will be accessible after installation.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

• Your installation must be protected by a 16 Amp thermal fuse.
• It is mandatory to use a power point with a ground terminal, connected in accordance with current safety regulations.
• In your electrical installation, provide a device that is accessible to the installer, capable of separating the appliance from the mains power and whose contact opening is at least 3mm at all of the poles.
• Never operate the oven if the supply cord and/ or its plug are damaged. In case of damage, call in a specialised technician trained by the manufacturer.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

• Your appliance is designed exclusively for the domestic purposes of defrosting, heating or cooking foods. The manufacturer bears no responsibility in the case of improper usage.
• Before use, make sure that the containers are appropriate for microwave usage (e.g.: heat resistant glass, porcelain, etc.).
• To avoid deterioration of your microwave oven, never operate it empty or without the turntable.
• Never tamper with the lock mechanism of your microwave oven; you could cause damage requiring repair by an authorised technician.
• Be sure to watch closely when heating or cooking foods in disposable plastic or paper containers or any other combustible material, due to fire hazard.
• It is not advisable to use metal recipients, forks, spoons, knives, metal ties or staples for deep-freeze bags.

• For baby food and children's food, it is essential :

• to remove the nipple before heating up baby bottles, shake the contents and test the temperature on the back of your hand before feeding.

• to stir and verify the temperature of children's foods before serving to avoid causing serious internal burns.

WARNING : Do not allow children to use the microwave oven without supervision unless they have been thoroughly instructed in the proper use and the dangers of improper operation.
- It is advisable to cover food in most cases. It will be tastier and your oven will stay cleaner. However, be sure to remove the cap or lid before cooking foods or heating liquids in a sealed bottle or container, which could otherwise explode.
- The heating or cooking of boiled, coddled eggs or fried eggs by microwave is prohibited. They can burst and cause serious burns or irreparable damage to your oven.
- When heating liquids, the boiling point may be reached without the typical bubbles appearing on the surface. To prevent liquids from boiling over and possible burns, wait 20 seconds before removing the containers from the appliance or adding anything to the liquids, to avoid sudden spurting of the liquid.
- For small amounts (one sausage, a single croissant, etc.), place a glass of water alongside the food item.
- Time settings that are too long may dry out and burn the food. To avoid such incidents, never use the same cooking times as those recommended for traditional ovens.
- If smoke appears, keep the oven door closed and disconnect the oven or turn it off.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

- THE TURNTABLE :

ensures equal cooking of food throughout with no need to intervene.

TURNTABLE OFF

stops the turntable from revolving in order to use platters which require the entire oven space. When stopped, remember to stir the contents or turn the dish midway through the programme.

THE PIZZA FUNCTION

• for certain models

With the Pizza function you can save time and energy cooking your favorite dishes and have them turn out as crispy, tasty and golden brown as if cooked in a traditional oven.

Use of the Pizza key together with the Pizza dish, allows you to use the grill and microwave functions simultaneously.
- The Pizza dish features a special coating that absorbs microwaves through its bottom.
It radiates heat from below the food to cook or reheat it, giving it the required color and crispness while the grill browns the top.

2 cooking methods :

• Without preheating - by using the Pizza function you can cook and brown most frozen meals and fresh, dough-based dishes without preheating the Pizza dish. They turn out as crispy as if cooked in a traditional oven.
• With preheating - the Pizza dish can be preheated using the Pizza key for a maximum of 2 minutes. Preheating is recommended to cook or brown small pieces of meat or fish and some dough-based, frozen and take-out dishes.

Recommendations :

Take foods out of their metallic or plastic packaging before cooking or reheating them with the Pizza function.
It is advisable to program shorter cooking times and extend if necessary.
- All foods with a skin or wrapping, such as potatoes and sausages, must be pierced before cooking.
- Make sure pieces of meat are completely thawed out and dried off before searing with the Pizza function.
- Keep an eye on the food's coloring, just as you would with a traditional oven.
- Protect your hands when taking out the dish because it can be extremely hot.
- Do not serve stuffed foods (apple pastry for example) too quickly because they can be warm on the surface whereas the filling is extremely hot.
Cooking or reheating of eggs with the Pizza function is prohibited.
If you wish to cook several dishes consecutively with the Pizza function, allow the oven to cool 10 minutes between dishes for better browning.

• Use a sponge, hot water and dishwashing liquid to wash the dish. Do not use a metallic sponge or scouring powder.

Recommendations

• Do not place the Pizza dish on the rack; this could cause irreversible damage to your oven.

CARE & CLEANING

• Regular maintenance of your oven will keep it in sound operating condition. To prevent heavy soiling, it is preferable to cover recipients whenever possible.
• Make sure the work surface on which the microwave oven sits is always kept clean as surrounding dirt or dust could enter and damage your appliance.
• Clean with a damp, soapy sponge both on the inside and outside, with special attention to the door seal and front of the cavity which must be kept clean at all times. If these surfaces are damaged because of excessive soiling,

call in a specialised technician before using your microwave oven.

• In the event of unsavory odors or caked-on dirt, boil water containing lemon juice or vinegar in a cup for 2 minutes and clean the walls with a little dishwashing liquid.
• For those ovens with grill or convection heat functions, the top and rear air vents become very hot. Do not touch these parts after use; wait till the appliance has cooled down in order to clean it. Use a fine steel wool pad on the metal parts.
• The turntable can be removed for cleaning. Wells are provided on both sides for easy access.

If you remove the drive shaft, do not allow water to enter the motor shaft hole.

Be sure to put the turntable, the drive shaft and the wheel support back in their proper place.

• Do not use abrasives, alcohol or solvents as they are liable to damage the oven.

POINTERS
