• depending on model Installing the appliance Important safety instructions Preparation

Read these instructions carefully and keep for future use.

1. Your appliance is for domestic use. It is intended exclusively for cooking,

reheating or defrosting food and drinks. Use it only for this purpose.

2. This appliance is not designed to be used by people (including children)

with impaired physical, sensorial or mental capacities, or by persons with little or no experience or knowledge, unless they can benefit, through someone responsible for their safety, from surveillance or instructions prior to using the appliance.

3. It is appropriate to watch over children to make certain that they do not

play with the appliance. Children should only be allowed to use the oven without surveillance where suitable instructions have been given to them, allowing them to use the oven safely and with complete understanding of dangers that can result from incorrect use. Unpack the accessories, wash them and dry them carefully. Place the drive, the crown and then the turntable in the centre of the oven. The turntable must be well secured to the drive. Connection Check on the rating plate affixed to the rear of your appliance stating nominal voltage (220-230V) that your electrical installation is appropriate for the appliance. Make certain that the amperage shown on your electricity meter and circuit breaker is at least 16 Amps.. Lastly, for effective safety, you must be certain to connect your appliance to a socket with an earth pin in accordance with electrical standards. Place the appliance so that the plug is accessible at all times so it can be readily disconnected. Also check that you have access to your circuit breaker. Caution: risk of burns and scalding. Accessible parts can become hot during use. You are advised to keep young children away.

4. When in use, the appliance heats up. Take care not to touch the heating

elements located inside the oven. Be careful too of other surfaces that can heat up, as with the door, the grill * resistor element, the walls of the enclosure and the cover. Recommendations relating to the power supply must be strictly respected. Where best to place your oven In microwave mode to avoid any risk of burning when removing recipients from the oven (when not using the Direct Access accessory), always use heat-proof gloves. Using grill and micro-grill functions, please use insulating gloves You can place the appliance either:

• On a work surface: Place it on a flat, stable surface capable of bearing the oven and its contents and resisting a temperature of more than 90°C. The oven must be handled with care. The side of the oven with the control panel is heavier.

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

a separate remote control system.

6. Do not operate your appliance empty. This could lead to damage. If you

want to try out a programme, place a glass of water inside so the microwaves will thus be absorbed and your oven will not be damaged.

7. The door must be able to close again freely:

Do not insert objects between the door and the front of the oven or prevent its closure (tea-towel, kitchen glove, too big a dish, etc.). If your appliance’s door does not close correctly, a safety system will stop it from starting.

8. * When cooking in grill, projections of grease onto the grill resistor

element can ignite. These flames will die out by themselves and have no harmful effect if you maintain your appliance regularly.

9. Do not use the microwave with the accessory Direct Access without food.

• In a niche: The niche must be at least 85 cm above the floor. Centre the appliance in its recess in such a way that it does not touch the walls of the niche. Heat must be free to evacuate: leave a minimum space of 20 cm above the oven, 10 cm on either side and 10 cm to the rear. Install the appliance far enough away from any source of heat (e.g., conventional oven or radiator) as it is designed and tested for use at a maximum ambient temperature of 35°C. Take care not to block the appliance’s ventilation holes.

• depending on model Instructions for use To avoid projections of grease, especially when cooking poultry or meat, use enamelled earthenware dishes. Always leave at least 2 cm between the grill resistor element and the food. You can use your appliance to defrost, heat and cook food much more quickly than with a conventional cooker. Food Prohibited food If you choose a microwave cooking method, you must never:
• Fry food as it is impossible to control the temperature of the oil or fat content (risk of catching fire).
• Cook eggs in their shell, hard-boiled eggs or snails as they are likely to explode, even after having been cooked.
• Cook food with a whole husk or shell (sweet chestnuts), or with a hard skin (such as tomatoes, potatoes and sausages). Always cut through the shell first or prick skins. Temperature of food

10. Never block the air vents: the oven could overheat.

If this happens, your appliance will stop automatically and then remain inoperative until it has cooled down enough.

11. Precautions to avoid possible exposure to microwaves:

It is dangerous for anyone other than a qualified person to perform maintenance or repair operations involving the removal of a cover protecting against exposure to microwave energy.

• Do not try to run your appliance when the door is open, touch the door safety locking system or insert anything inside that system.
• Do not place any object that could obstruct opening or closing of the door.
• Do not let any remainders of food or cleaning products accumulate on door seals. Ensure that the door and its seals remain clean. After use, wipe them with a wet cloth and then dry them carefully.
• It is especially important that the oven door closes correctly and that there is no defect on: - the door, the seals and hinges, - the power supply cord. Thanks to the properties of microwave ovens, only the food heats up, with the container thus remaining cold or just warm while the food it contains gets extremely hot. The contents of feeding bottles and pots of baby food must be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption to avoid scalding. Shake feeding bottles well and pour out a few drops of liquid onto the back of your wrist to check its temperature. Apply similar precautions for all dishes cooked using the microwave. Food preparation Before heating feeding bottles and small pots, remove the teats and lids. Remember to cover the food:
• to avoid it splashing against the enclosure of the oven,
• to retain enough water content for cooking. Do not operate the oven if the door or door seal is damaged. Have it repaired first by a qualified technician. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, his product support department or persons with similar qualification so as to avoid danger.

12. For your own safety, this appliance is in conformity with applicable

standards and regulations (Low Voltage Directive, electromagnetic compatibility, materials in contact with food, the environment, etc.). Reheating liquids When you use a microwave oven to heat up drinks, there can be sudden burst from the boiling liquid as it is removed from the oven or shortly after. Precautions must be taken when handling the container. Indeed, after boiling point has been reached, bubbles are captured at the bottom of the container to be released only when you move it. To avoid this physical phenomenon and prevent risks of scalding, always put a plastic spoon in the container to be heated. Never use your oven if it is damaged. Your oven should in no case be adjusted or repaired by persons other than a qualified technician from the microwave department and trained by the manufacturer. The following recommendations will help you use your oven in the best possible way. Please read them attentively. Containers and materials Only use utensils suited for use in microwave ovens. Below you will find details on the different types of containers that are recommended or prohibited for the various cooking methods used.

“Micro” mode (microwave) Use containers suited to microwave cooking. Check a container’s “transparency” to microwaves using a quick and easy test. Place the empty container on your appliance’s turntable together with a glass filled with water then start the oven for 1 minute at maximum power. After 1 minute:

• If the container remains cold, it can be considered to be “transparent” and is suited to use in microwave mode.
• If the container is hot or tepid, this means it is “absorbent” and cannot be used in a microwave. Summary of containers and materials permitted and not permitted in “micro” mode METAL Never use sealed containers. Liquids and other food should not be heated in sealed containers as they are likely to explode. Remember to remove lids and caps on feeding bottle, jars, bottles and plastic containers. GLASS Materials Containers Disposable containers When heating foodstuffs in paper or plastic containers, keep an eye on the oven in case these catch fire. If you see smoke, stop or disconnect the oven and keep the door closed to starve any flames of oxygen. Metal containers Never use metallic containers and materials when microwave cooking. However, you can use your appliance to heat or defrost some preparations in small metal trays without their lids provided they do not stand higher than 4 cm. For such lids, follow the instructions featured on the packing. In some cases, you will have to remove the lid and in others leave it on. Where no indications are provided, remove as a precaution. Centre the tray(s) on the turntable leaving a gap of at least 1 cm between the walls of the enclosure and the tray. Where you place a number of trays in the microwave, space them apart by at least 2 cm. Suitable for micro-waves Aluminium foil In certain cases Aluminium tray Metal sheet Freezer bag ties In certain cases

Remarks 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.
