- The door contact surfaces (the front of the cavity and the inside of the door) must be kept extremely clean in order to guarantee correct oven operation.

- DO NOT CLEAN THE OVEN DOOR GLASS USING HARD ABRASIVE DETERGENTS OR SHARP METAL SCRAPERS WHICH COULD DAMAGE THE SURFACE AND CAUSE THE GLASS TO BREAK.

To reduce the risk of accidents, connect the appliance to an earthed socket.

DANGER.

Do not disassemble the appliance.

Risk of electrocution. Contact with some of the components inside the appliance may cause serious personal injury or even death.

WARNING

Risk of injury

It is dangerous for anyone, except qualified individuals, to carry out any maintenance or repair procedures involving the removal of the protective covers which act as a shield against exposure to microwaves.

IMPORTANT

Risk of electrocution. Incorrect use of the earthing system can cause electrocution.

Only plug the appliance in after it has been correctly installed, and after making sure an earthing system is fitted.

CLEANING

Make sure the appliance has been disconnected from the electricity supply before carrying out any cleaning procedures.

1. After use, clean the inside of the oven with a slightly damp cloth.
2. Clean the accessories as normal, with soapy water.
3. Use a damp cloth to carefully clean the door and its frame and seals, as well as the surrounding parts, when dirt needs to be removed.

Plug with two round pins

This appliance is fitted with an earthed power cord and an earthed plug. It must be connected to an earthed socket. If an electrical short circuit occurs, the earthing system provides a direct path allowing the electric current to be discharged to earth, thus reducing the risk of electrocution.

If it is necessary to use a kit with a longer power cord, or an extension cable:

1. Make sure that the cross-section of the long cord provided in the kit or the extension cable is the same or greater than that of the cord supplied.
2. The extension cable must have 3 wires to allow connection to an earthing system.
3. The long cord must be positioned so that it cannot hang from the surface on which the appliance is placed, to prevent the appliance from falling to the ground if the cord is inadvertently knocked or if it is pulled by children.

COOKING UTENSILS - GUIDE TO CROCKERY

Some non-metal utensils may be suitable for use in microwave ovens. If you are not sure, the utensil in question may be tested in line with the procedure below.

Utensil test:

1. Pour 1 cup of cold water (250 ml) into a microwaveable container, and place the utensil in question inside.
2. Cook at maximum power for 1 minute.
3. Touch the utensil carefully. If the utensil is hot, it must not be used for microwave cooking.
4. Do not exceed a cooking time of 1 minute.

Materials safe for use in microwave ovens.

Important: follow the manufacturer's instructions for all materials.

Utensils	Notes
Aluminium foil	As protection only. Small, evenly sized strips of aluminium foil can be used to protect thin pieces of beef or game, preventing them from overcooking. Make sure the aluminium sheet is kept well away from the oven walls, as this could generate electric arcs. The aluminium foil must be at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the oven walls.
Crisp plate (accessory)	The bottom of the crisp plate must be at least 5 mm (3/16 inches) above the turntable. Incorrect use can cause the turntable to break.
Plates and crockery	Only if microwave safe. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Do not use cracked or chipped crockery.
Glass jars	Always remove the lid. Only use them to heat food, so that the contents are just hot enough all the way through. Most glass jars or bottles are not heat-resistant and may break.
Glass items	Only heat-resistant glass ovenware. Make sure there are no metal applications. Do not use cracked or chipped crockery.
Oven cooking bags	Do not use metal clips to seal them. Create some slits to allow steam to escape.
Paper plates and cups	Only for short cooking/heating periods. Do not leave the oven unattended during cooking.
Paper napkins	May be used to reheat food and to absorb oil and fat. Only for short cooking periods, supervising the process carefully.
Baking paper	Use as protection to prevent spraying or as a cover when steam cooking.
Plastic materials	Follow the manufacturer's instructions. The label “Microwave safe” must be applied. Some plastic containers become soft when the food inside heats up. Make holes, slits or air vents in “boiling bags” and airtight plastic bags, in accordance with the instructions on the packaging.
Plastic film	Use to cover food to prevent residual moisture from being lost during cooking. Make sure the plastic film does not come into contact withthe food.
Waxed paper	Use as protection against spraying and to retain moisture.

Materials not safe for use in microwave ovens
Utensils	Notes
Aluminium tray	May cause an electric arc to form. Transfer food to a microwaveable plate.
Cardboard food containers with metal handles	May cause an electric arc to form. Transfer food to a microwaveable plate.
Metal utensils or metal-finish utensils	Metal protects food against microwaves. Metal finishes can cause an electric arc to form.
Metal sealing clips	They may cause an electric arc to form, which in turn may result in a fire starting inside the oven.
Paper bags	May cause a fire to start inside the oven.
Expanded plastic foam	Expanded plastic foam may melt or contaminate the liquid inside it when exposed to high temperatures.
Wood	As wood dries after it has been used in a microwave oven, it may split or crack.

Advice for microwave cooking, observe the following recommendations:

• Before heating or cooking food with peel or skin (e.g. apples, tomatoes, potatoes, sausages), prick them so they do not burn. Dice food before starting to prepare it.
• Before using a container or plate, make sure it is microwave safe (see paragraph on cooking utensil types).
• When cooking foods with a low level of moisture (e.g. defrosting bread, making popcorn, etc.), evaporation takes place extremely quickly.

The oven then functions as if it is empty, which puts the food at risk of burning. The oven and the container may be damaged. We therefore recommend setting the time for no longer than is necessary, and keeping the process under strict supervision.

• The microwave cannot be used to heat large quantities of oil (for frying).
• Remove pre-cooked food from its container, as this type of container is not always heat-resistant. Observe the instructions supplied by the manufacturer.
• If using various containers, e.g. cups, arrange them evenly on top of the turntable.
• Do not seal plastic bags with metal clips. Use plastic clips. Pierce the bags several times so that steam can escape easily.

- Steam may build up on the oven door during cooking and may then begin to drip. This situation is normal and may also not be so evident in low room temperatures. This situation does not influence correct and safe oven operation. When cooking is complete, remove the water which has formed through condensation.

- When heating liquids, use containers with a wide opening, so that steam can evaporate easily.

Prepare food in accordance with the instructions, and observe the cooking times and power levels in the automatic mode food cooking tables. Bear in mind that the figures provided are purely indicative and may vary depending on the food, plus its initial status, temperature and moisture level. We recommend adjusting the cooking times and power levels in line with each individual situation. Depending on the characteristics of the food, it may be necessary to increase or reduce cooking times or power levels.

When cooking in the microwave, bear the following in mind:

1. The lower the temperature, the longer the cooking time will be.
2. Food containing a lot of liquid will heat up more quickly.
3. Cooking will take place more evenly if the food is distributed on top of the turntable in a uniform manner. By placing denser foods around the outside of the plate and less dense foods in the centre, different types of food can be heated at the same time.
4. The oven door may be opened at any time. When it is opened, the oven will switch off automatically. The microwave oven will only resume operation after the door has been closed and the power button pressed.
5. Covered food requires a shorter cooking time and retains more of its properties. Lids must allow microwaves to pass through and have small holes which let steam evaporate.

Troubleshooting

Microwave oven interferes with television reception	Optimal radio and television reception may be affected while the microwave oven is in use. This interference is similar to that caused by small domestic electric appliances, such as blenders, vacuum cleaners and fans. This is an entirely normal effect.
Dim oven light	During microwave cooking at low power, the oven light may become dim. This is an entirely normal effect.
Build-up of steam on the door, hot air escaping from the air vents	During cooking, food may release steam. In particular, hot air may escape from the ventilation openings. A little steam may build up on the oven door. This is an entirely normal effect.
Accidental oven activation with no food inside.	It is prohibited to run the oven with no food inside. This is actually very dangerous.

Malfunction	Possible cause
Impossible to start the oven.	Power plug not inserted correctly.Make sure the oven power supply is enabled.
The oven does not heat up.	Door not closed correctly.Make sure there is no foreign material trapped between the door and the front of the cavity.
The glass tray makes noise when the microwave oven is running.	Build-up of dirt in the roller seat and on the bottom of the oven.
Sparks and crackling in the oven (electric arcs)	Plates with metal decorations are being used.There is a fork or metal utensil in the oven.Too much aluminium foil is being used.A bag clasp with a metal core is being used.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR DISPOSAL - OUR POLICY FOR SAFEGUARDING

Our products are usually packaged using recyclable non-polluting materials which are not harmful to the environment. We would ask that users do their part by disposing of the packaging in a suitable manner. Contact your dealer or the relevant local organisations for details of your nearest collection, recycling and disposal centres.

Never dump all or part of the packaging in the environment. Packaging components, in particular plastic bags, present a suffocation hazard for children.

You should also dispose of your old appliance in the same way.

Important: take the appliance to your local organisation authorised to collect appliances for scrapping. Correct disposal allows intelligent recovery of valuable materials.

Before scrapping your appliance, it is important to remove the door and leave any shelves in their normal position, to make sure that children cannot get involuntarily trapped inside while playing.

You should also disable the power supply, removing the cord and plug.
