Introduction

You have chosen an Etna combi-microwave oven.

Optimum ease of use and simple operation were the most important factors in the development of this product.

The combi-microwave oven combines the characteristics of a microwave oven with those of a traditional oven.

The extensive range of settings available enables you to select the exact method of cooking that you have in mind. The design ensures easy to use, controls.

The functions are arranged conveniently on the control panel. Every function has its own button. The display provides information and helps you choose the settings.

The controls for this oven are very easy. What we particularly want to do in this manual is give you an idea of all the possibilities this appliance offers.

The various functions are arranged for easy-reference in the operation section. You will also find some useful tips.

Separate installation instructions have been enclosed for installing the appliance.

Please keep this manual carefully, since any subsequent user will also find it very useful.

We wish you much pleasure with your combi-microwave oven!

General

This combi-microwave oven is extremely safe. As with all products, however, there are a number of things you need to bear in mind.

Repairs must only be carried out by an authorised service engineer.

It is hazardous for anyone other than a trained person to carry out any service or repair operation which involves the removal of any cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

Do not use the appliance if it is damaged. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similar qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

The appliance should be disconnected from the mains before being repaired or cleaned. Remove the plug from the socket or turn the switch in the meter cupboard to zero.

For electrical safety reasons, the appliance must not be cleaned using high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.

This combi-microwave oven has been designed for domestic use. Use the appliance only for cooking food and only if it has been built in according to the regulations.

What you should pay attention to

when using the grill or backing function

The oven is insulated. Despite this, there is always some transfer of heat, as a result of which the outside of the oven heats up. This heating falls well within the acceptable limits.

Warning symbol with steam inside a triangle (no text or numbers)

During use, the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements inside the oven.

When cooking dishes that contain alcohol, the alcohol may evaporate due to the high temperature. The vapour could catch fire if it comes into contact with a hot heating element.

Do not use the combi-microwave oven for storing flammable or easily deformable materials.

Make sure that the food is always heated sufficiently. The time required for this depends on various factors, such as the quantity and type of food. Any bacteria in the food will only be killed if the food is heated to a temperature greater than 70 °C for at least 10 minutes. Allow the food to cook for a bit longer if you are not sure whether the food has been heated sufficiently.

Never heat food in sealed containers.

Pressure will build up inside the container and may cause it to explode.

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 hazards of improper use.

when using the microwave function

Place a plastic spoon in the cup if you want to boil a liquid (water, for example). The liquid may boil without you seeing any bubbles. As soon as you take the cup out of the oven, the liquid may suddenly start to boil violently and splash out of the cup, with the risk of you getting scalded.

The content of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.

Your microwave oven is safe only if the door is closing properly!

Never put anything between the oven door and make sure that the door and seal are always clean.

If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a trained person.

You should only use the microwave oven for defrosting and cooking food and not, for example, for drying clothes or paper. Clothes or paper could catch fire.

If you heat small quantities of dry or powdery products in the microwave oven (when drying herbs, for example), there is a chance that they will spontaneously combust.

If something in the combi-oven catches fire, switch the microwave oven off and take the plug out of the socket. Keep the oven door closed.

Do not switch the microwave function on if the combi-oven is empty. The oven could be damaged.

A microwave oven is not suitable for:

■preserving food;
■ cooking eggs in their shells, because they will burst due to the increase in pressure;
■ heating oil for deep frying.

Remove metal twists from plastic bags and use dishes and plates that are suitable for the microwave oven.

You should only heat liquids in airtight packaging after first pricking a few holes in the packaging. This is because of the increase in pressure during heating.

Do not heat food for longer than is necessary; allow for the 'continued cooking'.

Prick the skin of meat, chicken and fish with a fork or other pointed object. This prevents these foods spattering.

You can open the door when the microwave function is switched on; the microwave function then switches off automatically and the time set is stopped.

Not all materials can be used in the combimicrowave oven. The table below shows which materials can be used and which materials cannot be used.

Bringing the oven into operation

positioning

Place the microwave oven on a firm, flat surface.

Make sure that there is sufficient ventilation around the microwave oven. Keep a 30 cm space free at the top. At the rear and sides keep at least 7.5 cm free.

Do not cover the air vents.

The adjustable feet should not be removed.

Do not place the microwave oven near a heat source.

Transmitting and receiving equipment such as radios and televisions can affect the operation of the microwave oven.

cleaning the microwave oven and accessories

Remove the accessories from the combi-microwave oven and clean the oven with a mild cleaning agent.

Switch the hot-air function on for one hour at 230 °C (see page 13). Protective greases used during manufacture will then be removed.

■Clean the inside and outside of the oven regularly using soapy water and dry it thoroughly with a dry cloth.
■Make sure that the microwave distributor cover (inside the oven on the right) is clean. A cover which is not clean may cause sparking.
■Clean the accessories regularly; use soapy water and a brush and dry the accessories thoroughly with a dry cloth. The accessories may also be washed in a dishwasher.

• Odours will disappear if you put a glass of vinegar or water with lemon juice added in the oven space. Switch the microwave on for two minutes on full power. Then wipe with a damp cloth.
• Check the door catch and the door seal regularly for damage.
• Do not use the combi-microwave oven if the door or door catch are damaged.
