WARNING: If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has

been repaired by a competent person (trained by the manufacturer or by its Customer Service].

WARNING: It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or

repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed

containers since they are liable to explode. 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.

WARNING: 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 hazardk of improper use.

Do not aïtempt to operate the oven with the door open by tampering with the safety devices. Do not operate the oven if objects for any kind get stuck between the front panel of the oven and the door. Always keep the inside of the door (E) clean, using a damp cloth and non-abrasive detergents. Do not allow dirt or remains of food to accumulate between the front panel of the oven on the door.

7) l£the supply cable has been damaged, it must be replaced by the

manufacturer or the technical service centre or by a qualified person so as to . . xhorÿ avoid all risks. Pt,

If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and KEEP THE DOOR CLOSED in order to stifle any flames. Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens. In order to avoid overheating and the consequent risk of fire, it is advisable to supervise the oven when cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, cardboard or other inflammable materials, and when heating small quantities of food.

10) Never place the turntable in water after it has ben heated for a long time. The high thermal shock

resulting would break the turntable. 11)When cooking "Only MICROWAVE" and "COMBINED WITH MICROWAVE", you absolutely must not pre-heat the oven (without foodstuffs in it) and you must not operate it when it is empty, because you might cause sparking. 12}Before using this oven, check to be certain that the utensil and containers chosen are suitable for microwave oven use (see the section on "Glassware and Similar Items"). 13)During the use the appliance becomes hot. Do not touch the heating elements inside the oven.

14) When heating liquids (water, coffee, milk, etc.] it is possible that the contents may suddenly start

to boil and spi violenily as a result of delayed boiling, causing scalding. Te avoid this happening, you should place a heat-resistant plastic spoon or a glass rod in the container before starting to heat liquids. Anyway, care shall be taken when handling the container. 15}Do not heat spirit with a high alcohol content, nor large quantities of oil, as these could catch firel

GB 30-05-2002 10:17 Pagina 24 AE 1élThe contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature shall be checked before consumption in order to avoid burns. It is also advisable to stir or shake the food in order to ensure that it has an even temperature. When using commercially available botile sterilisers, before turning the oven on, ALWAYS make sure the container is filled with the quantity of water indicated by the manufacturer. N.B. When the oven is used for the first time it is possible that, for a period of approx. 10 minutes, it may produce a “new” smell and a small amount of smoke. This is only a result of protective substances applied to the heating element. EN Ventilate the room during this operation. È

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS oullet is connected to an efficient grounding (earth) erminal. The manufacturer shall not be responsi- e in any manner whatsoever for harm or dam- age caused by failure to observe this norm. Connect this equipment only to electrical outlets having a capatcity of at least 10A. Before using this oven, check to make certain tha the electrical network is the same as that indicatéd on the equipment's data plate and that the ele: Electrical Connection for UK only ..... see page 39 INSTALLATION After having removed the oven from its box, check to make certain that the turntable spindle (D) is correctly fitted into its housing. Place the turntable support (G) in the middle of the cooking chamber and set the turntable (F) on top of it. The spindle (D) must be inserted in the related turntable housing. Check to make certain that this equipment has not been damaged in transport and check especially to see if the door opens and closes correcily. Set the oven on a flat, steady surface at least 85 cm. above the floor and out of the reach of small children, because when the oven is operating its door can get very hot. After having placed the oven on its work level, make sure that there is still a free space of at least 5 cm. between the oven's air outlet surfaces and the side as well as à back walls, and a free space of at least 20 cm. above the oven (see Fig. 1). Also check to make sure the feed cord is not touching the appliance's rear wall, because the wall itself can get very hot while the grill is being used.

5) Do not block the air intake. In particular, do not set anything atop

the oven and check to be certain that the air outlet slots (located | above, under and in the back of the oven) are ALWAYS FREE user from obstruction (see Figs. 2 and 3).

Place the ei container in the oven for 30 seconds maximum power (“Microwave Only” function]. IFthe container is still cold or only slighily warm, it is suitable for microwave cooking. IF it is very hot or gives out sparks, it is not suitable. For short heating periods, you may use paper napkins, cardboard trays and plastic “throwaway” plates as a base. Às far as shape and size are concerned, it is absolutely essential that containers be such as to allow the turntable to rotate. In order to use large-size rectangular AND SIMILAR ITEMS containers (which may not be able to rotate inside the cooking cavity}, you can remove the metal, wood, hen paper, cane and plate glass itable for use in microwave ovens. The metal rack supplied with your microwave have been fully tested for safe use. You should remember, too, that since microwaves heat the food and not the glassware, earthenware or similar containers for that food, it is possible to cook such food in_the serving dish and hereby avoid the problem of having to clean pans later.

COOKING OPERATIONS Tum clockwise from 1 to 30 minutes. Once the set time expires, the oven will turn off and a buzzer will sound.

PROVIDED TURNTABLE The turntable is used for all the functions.

Microwaves consist of electromagnetic radiation found in nature under the form of light waves (eg. sunlight). Inside the oven, these waves penetrate food from all directions and heat up the waïer, fatty and sugar molecules. Heat is produced very quickly only in the food itself, whereas the container being used warms up _indirectly by means of heat given off by the

stance or, in some cases, no fat at all during the cooking process. Therefore cooking in a microwave oven is con- sidered to be healthy and good for one‘s diet. And in contrast to traditional methods, cooking in a microwave foodstuffs are less dehydrated, lose less of their nutritional value, and retain more of their original flavour. heated food. This prevents food from sticking to its container, so you can use very little fatty sub- Basic rules for correct cooking with a microwave oven In order to set cooking times correcily, remember [in referring to the charts on the following pages) that when you increase the amount of foodkstuffs the cooking temperature must likewise be pro- portionately increased and vice-versa. lt is important to respect the “standing” times: standing time means that period during which the food must be left to “rest” after being cooked so as to allow an even greater spreading of the temperature within. The temperature of meat, for exam- ple, will rise about 5°-8° C. (approx. 9°-15° F) during the standing time. Standing times may be observed either inside or outside the oven.

One of the main things you must do is stir the food several times while it is being cooked. This helps make the temperature distribution more uniform and thus shortens the cook- ing time.

It is also advisable to turn the foodstuff over during its cooking process: this - applies especially for meat, whether it is in large pieces lroasts, whole {22 chickens, ec.} or small (chicken breasts, etc. CZ

4) Foods having a skin, shell or peel (e.g., apples, potatoes, tomatoes,

frankfurters, fish) must be pierced with a fork in several points so as to permit steam to escape and to prevent those items from exploding (see Fig. 4).

I you are preparing a large number of portions of the same food item (e.g., boiled potatoes], place those portions in a Pyrex dish in order to have them cook in a uniform manner (see Fig. 5):

The lower the temperature at which a foodstuff is placed in a microwave oven, the longer the cooking time required. Food having a room tempera- ture will cook more quickly than food having a refrigerator temperature.

Always do your cooking by placing the food container in the centre of the turntable. 8 fig. 5 ltis perfecily normal for condensation to form inside the oven and near the air outlet. To reduce such condensation, cover the foodstuffs with clear-sheet, wax paper, a glass lid or simply an overturned plate. Then, too, foods having a water content (e.g., greens and vegetables) cook better when covered. The covering of food also helps keep the oven clean on the inside. Use clear-sheet made expressly for microwave ovens.

N:B.: if the knob is turned to the VYY symbol or one of the following 3 symbols, the grill will Pan also operate. Set the cooking time you 3 want by turning the Time knob in a clockwise direction. Once the set cooking time has expired, a buzzer will_sound to signal that your food is ready You can interrupt operations any time you wish simply by turning the Time knob to the “0” position. You can also change the cooking time [while the foodstuff is being cooked) simply by turning this same knob forward or backward. You can check on the situation while the cooking is in progress by opening the door and examining the food. That move will interrupt the oven's operations, but they will begin again once the door has been closed.

+ Turn the function knob to the ,#, position and set the desired time on the timer knob. + Foods frozen in bags or plastic sheeting or in their packaging may be placed directly in the oven, as long as they have no metal parts (e.g., bands or closure rivets]. + Certain foods, such as greens, vegetables and fish, do not generally require defrosting before you begin cooking them. °_ Stewed foods and meats as well as meat sauces defrost better and quicker if they are stirred from time to time, turned over or croken cup . + While defrosting, meat and fish lose their liquid content. lt is recommended, therefore, that you defrost such items in a tray or basin. + _ltis advisable to separate each individual piece of meat from its bag before putting it in the freezer. This will help you save valuable time will preparing foods. + Be careful about following the timings printed on frozen products, because they are guideline and may not always be correct. It is best to use defrosting times slightly less than those indicated. The time needed for defrosting will vary in terms of the degree to which the food has been frozen.

Always keep the microwave outlet cover (C) free of fat or splashed grease. Never use abrasive detergents, steel wool or sharp metal utensils. In addition, when cleaning the outside of the oven, be careful not to let water or liquid detergent seep into the air outlet and steam slots located atop the appliance. We likewise recommend that you do not use alcohol, abrasive detergents or ammonia-based detergents to clean the inside and outside door surfaces. To ensure perfect closing, always keep the inside of the door clean, and do not let dirt and food residue get caught between the door and the oven's façade. that no dust or dirt will build up over time to obstruct those holes. oo) op020 | Clean the air inlet holes located on the back of the oven regularly so 02000
