• Repair and maintenance work, especially on current-carrying parts, may only be carried out by technicians authorized by the manufacturer.

Safety Instructions

• Warning! Do not heat pure alcohol or alcoholic drinks in the microwave. FIRE RISK!
• Beware!
• To avoid overheating or burning food, it is very important not to select long time periods or power levels that are too high when heating small quantities of food. For example, a bread roll can burn after 3 minutes if the power selected is too high.
• For toasting, use only the grilling function and watch the oven at all times. If you use a combined function to toast bread, it will catch fire in a very short time.
• Make sure you never catch the power cables of other electrical appliances in the hot door or the oven. The cable insulation may melt. Danger of short-circuiting!

Take care when heating liquids! When liquids (water, coffee, tea, milk, etc.) are nearly at boiling point inside the oven and are taken out suddenly, they may spurt out of their containers. DANGER OF INJURIES AND BURNS! To avoid this situation when heating liquids, put a teaspoon or glass rod inside the container. Avoid damaging the oven or other dangerous situations by following these instructions:

• Do not switch on the oven without the turntable support, the turntable ring, and the respective plate being in place.
• Never switch on the microwave when it is empty. If there is no food inside, there may be an electrical overcharge and the oven could be damaged.

RISK OF DAMAGE!

• For carrying out oven programming tests, put a glass of water inside the oven. The water will absorb the microwaves and the oven will not be damaged.
• Do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings.
• Use only dishes suitable for microwaves. Before using dishes and containers in the microwave, check that these are suitable (see the section on types of dishes).
• Never remove the mica cover on the ceiling of the oven interior! This cover stops fat and pieces of food damaging the microwave generator.
• Do not keep any inflammable object inside the oven as it may burn if the oven is switched on.
• Do not use the oven as a pantry.
• Do not use the oven for frying as it is impossible to control the temperature of oil heated by microwaves.
• Do not lean or sit on the open oven door. This may damage the oven, especially in the hinge zone. The door can bear a maximum weight of 8 kg.

The turntable and the grills can bear a maximum load of 8 kg. To avoid damaging the oven, do not exceed this load.

The advantages of microwaves

In conventional ovens, heat radiated by electrical elements or gas burners slowly penetrates the food from outside to inside. On account of this major amount of energy is wasted heating the air, the oven components and the food containers.

In a microwave oven, heat is generated by the food itself and the heat travels from inside to outside. No heat is lost to the air, the walls of the oven cavity or the dishes and containers (if these are suitable for use in microwave oven), in other words, only the food is heated.

Microwave ovens have the following advantages:

1. Shorter cooking times; in general these are up to 3/4 less than the time required for conventional cooking.
2. Ultra-fast food defrosting, thus reducing the danger of bacterial development.
3. Energy savings.
4. Conservation of the nutritional value of foods due to the shorter cooking times.
5. Easy to clean.

How a microwave oven works

In a microwave oven there is a high tension valve called a magnetron which converts electrical energy into microwave energy. These electromagnetic waves are channelled to the interior of the oven through a wave guide and distributed by a metallic spreader or through a ceramic base.

Inside the oven the microwaves propagate in all directions and are reflected by the metal walls, uniformly penetrating the food.

Why food heats up

Most foods contain water and water molecules vibrate when subjected to microwaves.

The friction between molecules produces heat which raises the temperature of the food, defrosting it, cooking it or keeping it hot.

Since the heat arises inside the food:

• This can be cooked with little or no liquid or fats/oils;
• Defrosting, heating or cooking in a microwave oven is quicker than in a conventional oven;
• The vitamins, minerals and nutritional substances in the food are conserved;
• The natural colour and aroma of the food are unchanged.

Microwaves pass through china, glass, cardboard or plastic but do not go through metal. For this reason, metal containers or ones with metal parts must not be used in a microwave oven.

Microwaves are reflected by metal...

... but go through glass and china...

... and are absorbed by foods.

- The time required to heat the food will depend on its initial temperature. Food taken straight from the fridge will take longer to heat up

than food that is at room temperature. If the food temperature is not what is wanted, select a greater or lesser weight next time you heat up the food.

- After heating, stir the food and then leave the food to stand for some time to allow the temperature to become uniform throughout the food.

Warning! After heating the container may be very hot. Although microwaves do not heat up most containers, these may heat up through heat transmission from food.

General instructions for defrosting

1. When defrosting, use only dishes that are appropriate for microwaves (china, glass, suitable plastic).
2. The defrost function by weight and the tables refer to the defrosting of raw food.
3. The defrosting time depends on the quantity and thickness of the food. When freezing food, keep the defrosting process in mind. Distribute the food evenly in the container.
4. Distribute the food as best as possible inside the oven. The thickest parts of fish or chicken drumsticks should be turned towards the outside. You can protect the most delicate parts of food with pieces of aluminium foil. Important: The aluminium foil must not come into contact with the oven cavity interior as this can cause electrical arcing.
5. Thick portions of food should be turned several times.
6. Distribute the frozen food as evenly as possible since narrow and thin portions defrost more quickly than the thicker and broader parts.
7. Fat-rich foods such as butter, cream cheese and cream should not be completely defrosted. If they are kept at room temperature they will be ready to be served in a few minutes. With ultra-frozen cream, if you find small pieces of ice in it, you should mix these in before serving.
8. Place poultry on an upturned plate so that the meat juices can run off more easily.
9. Bread should be wrapped in a napkin so that it does not become too dry.
10. Turn the food whenever the oven lets out a beep and the display flashes the word: turn.
11. Remove frozen food from its wrapping and do not forget to take off any metal twist-tags. For containers that are used to keep frozen food in the freezer and which can also be used for heating and cooking, all you need to do is take off the lid. For all other cases you should put the food into containers that are suitable for microwave use.
12. The liquid resulting from defrosting, principally that from poultry, should be discarded. In no event should such liquids be allowed to come into contact with other foods.
13. Do not forget that by using the defrosting function you need to allow for standing time until the food is completely defrosted.

Cooking with a microwave oven

Warning! Read the section "Microwave Safety" before cooking with your microwave.

Follow these recommendations when cooking with your microwave:

• Before heating or cooking foods with peel or skin (e.g. apples, tomatoes, potatoes, sausages) prick them so that they do not burst. Cut the food up before starting to prepare it.
• Before using a container or dish make sure that it is suitable for microwave use (see the section on types of ovenware).
• When cooking food with very little moisture (e.g. defrosting bread, making popcorn, etc.) evaporation is very quick. The oven then works as if it was empty and the food may burn. The oven and the container may be damaged in such a situation. You should therefore set just the cooking time necessary and you must keep a close eye on the cooking process.
• It is not possible to heat large quantities of oil (frying) in the microwave.
• Remove pre-cooked food from the containers they come in since these are not always heat resistant. Follow the food manufacturer's instructions.
• If you have several containers, such as cups, for example, set them out uniformly on the ceramic base.
• Do not close plastic bags with metal clips. Use plastic clips instead. Prick the bags several times so that the steam can escape easily.
• When heating or cooking foods, check that they reach at least a temperature of 70°C.
• During cooking, steam may form on the oven door window and may start to drip. This situation is normal and may be more noticeable if the room temperature is low. The oven's safe working is not affected by this. After you have finished cooking, clean up the water coming from the condensation.

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

Prepare the foods as per the instructions and keep in mind the cooking times and power levels indicated in the tables.

Keep in mind that the figures given are only indicative and can vary depending on the initial state, temperature, moisture and type of food. It is advisable to adjust the times and power levels to each situation. Depending on the exact characteristics of the food you may need to increase or shorten the cooking times or increase or decrease the power levels.

Cooking with microwaves...

1. The greater the amount of food, the longer the cooking time. Keep in mind that:
2. Double the quantity » double the time
3. Half the quantity » half the time
4. The lower the temperature, the longer the cooking time.
5. Foods containing a lot of liquid heat up more quickly.
6. Cooking will be more uniform if the food is evenly distributed on the ceramic base. If you put dense foods on the outside part of the ceramic base and less dense ones on the centre of the ceramic base, you can heat up different types of food simultaneously.
7. You can open the oven door at any time. When you do this the oven switches off automatically. The microwave will only start working again when you close the door and press the start key.
8. Foods that are covered require less cooking time and retain their characteristics better. The lids used must let microwaves pass through and have small holes that allow steam to escape.

Cooking with the grill

For good results with the grill, use the rack supplied with the oven.

Fit the rack in such a way that it doesn't come into contact with the metal surfaces of the oven cavity since if it does there is a danger of electric arcing which may damage the oven.

IMPORTANT POINTS:

1. When the grill is used for the first time there will be some smoke and a smell coming from the oils used during oven manufacture.
2. The oven door window becomes very hot when the grill is working. Keep children away.
3. Heat up the grill beforehand for 2 minutes. Unless indicated otherwise, use the rack.
4. When the grill is operating, the cavity walls and the rack become very hot. You should use oven gloves.
5. If the grill is used for extended period of time it is normal to find that the elements will switch themselves off temporarily due to the safety thermostat.
6. Important! When food is to be grilled or cooked in containers you must check that the container in question is suitable for microwave use. See the section on types of ovenware!
7. When the grill is used it is possible that some splashes of fat may go onto the elements and be burnt. This is a normal situation and does not mean there is any kind of operating fault.
8. After you have finished cooking, clean the interior and the accessories so that cooking remains do not become encrusted.

Table and suggestions – Microwave + Grill

The microwave + grill function is ideal for cooking quickly and, at the same time, browning foods. Furthermore, you can also grill and cook cheese-covered food.

The microwave and the grill work simultaneously. The microwave cooks and the grill toasts.

Food	Quantity (g)	Dish	Power (Watt)	Time (min.)	Standing time (min.)
Cheese topped pasta	500	Low dish	180	17-20	3-5
Cheese topped potatoes	800	Low dish	600	24-28	3-5
Lasagne	approx. 800	Low dish	600	15-20	3-5
Grilled cream cheese	approx. 500	Low dish	180	18-20	3-5
2 fresh chicken legs (grilled)	200 each	Low dish	360	15-20	3-5
Chicken	approx. 1000	Low and wide dish	360	40-45	3-5
Cheese topped onion soup	2 x 200 g cups	Soup bowls	360	4-8	3-5

Before using a dish in the microwave oven, make sure that it is suitable for microwave use. Only use dishes or containers that are suitable for microwave use.

The dish to be used in the combined function must be suitable for microwave and grill use. See the section on types of ovenware!

Keep in mind that the figures given are merely indicative and can vary as a function of the initial state, temperature, moisture, and type of food.

If the time is not enough to brown the food well, put it under the grill for another 5 or 10 minutes.

Please follow the standing times and don't forget to turn the meat pieces.

Unless indicated to the contrary, use the ceramic base for cooking.

The values given in the tables are valid when the oven cavity is cold (it is not necessary to pre-heat the oven).

What kind of ovenware can be used?

Microwave function

For the microwave function, keep in mind that microwaves are reflected by metal surfaces. Glass, china, clay, plastic, and paper let microwaves pass.

For this reason, metal pans and dishes or containers with metal parts or decorations cannot be used in the microwave. Glassware and clay with metallic decoration or content (e.g., lead crystal) cannot be used in microwave ovens.

The ideal materials for use in microwave ovens are glass, refractory china or clay, or heat-resistant plastic. Very thin, fragile glass or china should only be used for short periods of time (e.g., heating).

Hot food transmits heat to the dishes which can become very hot. You should, therefore, always use an oven glove!

How to test ovenware you want to use

Put the item you want to use in the oven for 20 seconds at maximum microwave power. After that time, if it is cold and just slightly warm, it is suitable to use. However, if it heats up a lot or causes electric arcing it is not suitable for microwave use.

Grill function

In the case of the grill function, the ovenware must be resistant to temperature of at least 300°C.

Plastic dishes are not suitable for use in the grill.

Microwave + Grill

In the microwave + grill function, the ovenware used must be suitable for use in both the microwave and the grill.

Aluminium containers and foil

Pre-cooked food in aluminium containers or in aluminium foil can be put in the microwave if the following aspects are respected:

• Keep in mind the manufacturer's recommendations written on the packaging.
• The aluminium containers cannot be more than 3 cm high or come in contact with the cavity walls (minimum distance 3 cm). Any aluminium lid or top must be removed.
• Put the aluminium container directly on top of the ceramic base. If you use the rack, put the container on a china plate. Never put the container directly on the rack!
• The cooking time is longer because the microwaves only enter the food from the top. If you have any doubts, it is best to use only dishes suitable for microwave use.
• Aluminium foil can be used to reflect microwaves during the defrosting process. Delicate food, such as poultry or minced meat, can be protected from excessive heat by covering the respective extremities/edges.
• Important: aluminium foil cannot come into contact with the cavity walls since this may cause electrical arcing.

Lids

We recommend you use glass or plastic lids or cling film since: ONLY FOR THE MICROWAVE FUNCTION.

1. This will stop excessive evaporation (mainly during very long cooking times);
2. The cooking times are shorter;
3. The food does not become dry;
4. The aroma is preserved.

The lid should have holes or openings so that no pressure develops. Plastic bags must also be opened. Baby feeding bottles or jars with baby food and similar containers can only be heated without their tops / lids otherwise they can burst.

3. Do not use metal clips for closing bags. Make holes in the bags. Use the films only to cover the food.
4. Do not use paper plates.
5. Only shallow aluminium containers without lids/tops. The aluminium cannot come into contact with the cavity walls.

Oven Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning is the only maintenance normally required.

Warning! Your microwave oven should be cleaned regularly, with all food remains being removed. If the microwave is not kept clean its surfaces may deteriorate, reducing the oven's working life and possibly resulting in a dangerous situation.

Warning! Cleaning should be done with the oven power switched off. Take the plug out of the socket or switch off the oven's power circuit.

Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning products, scourers that scratch surfaces or sharp objects, since stains may appear.

Do not use high pressure or steam jet cleaning appliances.

Front surface

Normally you just need to clean the oven with a damp cloth. If it is very dirty, add a few drops of dishwashing liquid to the cleaning water. Afterwards, wipe the oven with a dry cloth.

Immediately remove lime, fat, starch or egg white stains. Corrosion can occur under these stains.

Do not let any water get inside the oven.

Oven interior

After each time the oven is used, clean the inside walls with a damp cloth since this is the easiest way to remove splashes or spots of food that may have stuck to the inside.

To remove dirt that is harder to shift, use a non-aggressive cleaning product. Do not use oven sprays or other aggressive or abrasive cleaning products.

Always keep the door and the oven front very clean to ensure that the door opens and closes properly.

Make sure water does not enter the microwave ventilation holes.

Regularly clean the cavity base, especially after any liquid spillage.

If the oven cavity is very dirty, put a glass of water on the cavity base and switch on the microwave oven for 2 or 3 minutes at maximum power. The steam released will soften the dirt which can then be cleaned easily using a soft cloth.

Unpleasant odours (e.g. after cooking fish) can be eliminated easily. Put a few drops of lemon juice in a cup with water. Put a small spoon in the cup to avoid the water boiling over. Heat the water for 2 to 3 minutes at maximum microwave power.

Oven Cleaning and Maintenance

Oven ceiling

If the oven ceiling is dirty, the grill can be lowered to make cleaning easier.

To avoid the danger of burning, wait until the grill is cold before lowering it. Proceed as follows:

1. Turn the grill support by 180° (1)
2. Lower the grill gently (2). Do not use excessive force as this may cause damage.
3. After cleaning the ceiling, put the grill (2) back in its place, carrying out the previous operation.

IMPORTANT WARNING: The grill heating element support (1) may fall when it is rotated. If this happens, insert the grill heating element support (1) into the slot in the ceiling of the cavity and rotate it 90° to the grill heating element support (2) position.

Accessories

Clean the accessories after each use. If they are very dirty, soak them first and then use a brush and sponge. The accessories can be washed in a dishwasher.

Make sure that the ceramic base and its support are always clean. Do not switch on the oven unless the ceramic base and its support are in place.

What should I do if the oven doesn't work?

WARNING! Any type of repair must only be done by a specialised technician. Any repair done by a person not authorised by the manufacturer is dangerous.

You do not need to contact Technical Assistance to resolve the following questions:

- The display is not showing! Check if:

- The time indication has been switched off (see section on Basic Settings).

- Nothing happens when I press the keys! Check if:

- The Safety Block is active (see section on Basic Settings).

- The oven does not work! Check if:

• The plug is correctly fitted in the socket.
• The oven's power is switched on.
• The door is completely closed. The door should close with an audible click.
• There are any foreign bodies between the door and the cavity front.

- When the oven is operating I can hear some strange noises! Check if:

• There is an electrical arcing inside the oven caused by foreign metallic objects (see section on type of ovenware).
• The ovenware is touching the oven walls.
• There are any loose items of cutlery or cooking tools inside the oven.

- The food doesn't heat up or heats very slowly! Check if:

• You have inadvertently used metal ovenware.
• You have selected the correct operating times and power level.
• The food you have put inside the oven is a larger amount or colder than you usually put in.
• The food is too hot, dried out or burnt! Check if you selected the correct operating time and power level.
• I hear some noises after the cooking process is finished! This is not a problem. The cooling fan keeps on working for some time. When the temperature has dropped sufficiently, the fan will switch itself off.
• The oven switches on but the interior light does not go on! If all the functions work properly it is probable that the lamp has blown. You can keep on using the oven.
• The display shows "cErr"!

Disconnect the plug and wait approximately 5 seconds. After that, you can plug in the Microwave again, the "cErr" message disappears and the appliance is fully operational.

Substitution of light bulb

If the light bulb needs substitution, call the Technical Assistance since it is necessary to uninstall the oven to replace it.

Environmental protection

Disposal of the packaging

The packaging bears the Green Point mark.

Dispose of all packaging materials such as cardboard, expanded polystyrene, and plastic wrapping in the appropriate bins. This ensures that the packaging materials will be reused.

Disposal of equipment no longer used

According to European Directive 2002/96/EC on the management of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), home electrical appliances should not be disposed of with normal solid urban waste.

Outdated appliances should be collected separately to optimize component material recovery and recycling rates and to prevent potential harm to human health and the environment. The symbol of a rubbish container with a diagonal cross should be placed on all such products to remind people of their obligation to have these items collected separately.

Consumers should contact their local authorities or point of sale to request information on the appropriate places to leave their old home electrical appliances.

Before disposing of your appliance, render it non-usable by pulling out the power cable, cutting it, and disposing of it.
