To unplug the appliance, grip the plug and remove it directly from the power 12. socket. Never pull the power cord to unplug the appliance. Do not use the appliance if the power cord or plug are damaged or if the appli-13. ance itself is faulty; all repairs, including substitution of power cord, must be carried out exclusively by an Ariete assistance centre or by authorized Ariete technicians in order to avoid all risks. In case of using extension leads, these must be suitable for the appliance power 14.EN

to avoid danger to the operator and for the safety of the environment in which the appliance is being used. Extension leads, if not suitable, can cause operat- ing anomalies. Never allow the cord to dangle in places where it may be grabbed by a child.15. Do not threaten the safety of the appliance by using parts that are not original 16. or which have not been approved by the manufacturer. This appliance is designed for HOME USE ONLY and may not be used for com-17. mercial or industrial purposes. Any changes to this product that have not been expressly authorised by the 18. manufacturer may lead to the user’s guarantee being rendered null and void. In the event that you decide to dispose of the appliance, we advise you to make 19. it inoperative by cutting off the power cord. We also recommend that any parts that could be dangerous be rendered harmless, especially for children, who may play with the appliance or its parts. Packaging must never be left within the reach of children since it is potentially 20. dangerous. This appliance complies with Directives 2014/35/EU and EMC 2014/30/EU, as 21. well as to regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004 of 27/10/2004 on materials in contact with food. For safety reasons, always connect the appliance to an earthed socket 22. according to the current electric regulations. AVOID ANY NON-COMPLIANT ELECTRIC INSTALLATION. Wash all attachments thoroughly before use.23. According to the placement of the kitchen, place the oven on a work surface or 24. a kitchen cabinet that can bear a temperature of at least 90°C. Do not move appliance while operating.25. Whilst operating, the metallic parts and the glass are hot: use the appliance 26. touching the metallic handle only. Do not warm frying oil or grease up, as the temperature of oil cannot be control-27. led. After use, clean the appliance inside with a damp cloth first, and then with a dry 28. cloth to remove any residues of food and fat. The fat residues may overheat and generate smoke or catch on fire. If the materials in the oven cavity generate smoke or catch on fire, keep the door 29. closed, switch the oven off and unplug it. Always shell and peel eggs, boiled eggs, potatoes, sausages, chestnuts, etc. 30.EN

before cooking. Always use containers suitable for microwave cooking (e.g. heat-resistant 31. ceramic, glass or plastic containers). Never use metallic containers for micro- wave cooking as sparks may occur. Whilst heating liquids up, always use a container with a wide opening and wait 32. at least 20 seconds before removing them from the oven to prevent sudden, explosive boiling. Never use the oven for boiling liquids.

WARNING: do not heat up liquids and food in sealed containers to prevent them 33.

from exploding. After cooking, the container may be very hot. Always use appropriate gloves or 34. mittens to remove food from the oven and direct the steam away from face and hands to prevent the risk of burn. Allow the rotating base to cool down before cleaning it.35. Do not put frozen food or cold kitchenware on the hot rotating base.36. Make sure the kitchenware do not press against the inner walls of the oven 37. whilst cooking. Do not use the appliance when the container with the ingredients is not placed 38. on the assembly seat. To prevent the oven from damaging, do not use it without liquids or food 39. inside. Clean the oven on a regular basis and remove any food residue. The failure to 40. comply with the appliance cleaning and maintenance precautions may damage the surface and jeopardize the status of the appliance itself, as well as causing danger situations. To ensure an adequate ventilation, leave a space of min. 10 cm between the wall 41. and the rear side of the oven, 5 cm from the sides and 20 cm from the top. Do not place rags or dishes underneath the appliance.42.

The heat is produced very quickly only in food, while the container warms up only indirectly for heat transfer from hot food. This prevents the food from adhering to the container, therefore it is possible to use very little fat or to avoid its use during the cooking process. The microwave cooking is deemed to be very healthy and dietetic since it is low fat. Furthermore, in comparison with the traditional systems, as cooking is at a lower temperature, the food dehydrates less, does not lose its nutrients and preserves its flavour more.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

ATTENTION: NEVER IMMERSE THE APPLIANCE BODY, THE PLUG AND THE POWER CORD IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS, USE A DAMP CLOTH FOR CLEANING. EVEN WHEN NOT IN USE, UNPLUG THE APPLIANCE BEFORE MOUNTING OR REMOVING THE SINGLE PARTS OR BEFORE CLEANING. - The oven cavity must always to be clean. When there are food/liquid residues inside the oven, clean the sides with a damp cloth. If the oven is very dirty, a mild detergent may be used. Avoid sprayers or too aggressive detergents as they may leave stains or strips or opacify the door sur- face. - The outside surface are to be cleaned with a damp cloth only. To prevent the operating parts inside the oven from damaging, there must be no water traces in the ventilation openings. - Often clean the door and the window on both sides, the sealed locks and the parts nearby, usingEN

a damp cloth, to remove squirts or residues. Do not use an abrasive detergent in any case. - The control panel must always be dry. Clean it with a soft, damp cloth. When carrying out this procedure, leave the door open to prevent the oven from starting accidentally. - Wipe steam from the inner/outside part of the door by means of a soft cloth. This may occur when working in high-humidity conditions and, therefore, it is normal. - Sometimes, it is necessary to remove the glass base to clean it. Clean the base with soapy, warm water or a dish detergent. - The rotating ring and the bottom of the oven must be kept cleaned to avoid too much noise, there- fore clean them with water and mild detergent or a dish detergent. After having removed the ring for cleaning, re-position it properly. - Remove the smell from the oven cavity by mixing a cup of water and the lemon juice and peel in a deep microwave container, put it into the oven and let the latter work for 5 minutes. Clean thoroughly and wipe with a soft cloth. - For replacing the oven light, contact the dealer. - Clean the oven on a regular basis and remove any food residue. Otherwise, the surfaces may deteriorate, thus reducing the appliance life or causing a risk condition.FR
