inappropriate use. Children should be supervised, ensuring that they do not play with the appliance.

8) WARNING: when the appliance is turned on in the combined mode,children should only use it under an adult’s supervision due to thehigh temperatures it develops.

9) Do not attempt to turn on the oven with the door open, damagingthe safety devices.

10) Do not turn on the oven if any type of object remains trappedbetween the inside of the door and the oven. Always keep the in-side of the door (J) clean by using a damp cloth and non-abrasivedetergents. Do not leave dirt or food remains between the insideof the door and the oven.

11) Do not turn the oven on if the electric cable or mains plug is da-maged as this could cause electric shocks. If the electric cable isdamaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its techni-cal assistance service or by a suitably qualifi ed person, to avoidany possible risk.

12) Only use kitchenware for microwave ovens. To avoid overheating,and subsequent risk of fi re, it is advisable to check the oven whil-st cooking food in recyclable plastic or carton containers or otherinfl ammable material or whilst heating small amounts of food.

13) Do not place the turntable in water while it is hot. The heat shockcould cause breakage.

14) When the “MICROWAVE Only” and “COMBINED MICROWAVE” op-tions are used, the oven must neither be pre-heated (withoutfood) nor turned on whilst empty as this could cause sparks.

15) Before using the oven, ensure that the kitchenware and contai-ners are suitable for microwaves (see section “Containers for va-rious types of cooking”)

6

16) During use the appliance heats up. Do not place any objects ontop of the oven when in use. Do not touch the heating elementsinside the oven.

17) During heating of liquids (water, coffee, milk, etc.) it is possiblethat due to delayed boiling, the contents suddenly start boilingover, causing burns. To avoid this, before heating liquids, place aplastic spoon or glass rod in the container. In any case handle thecontainer with great care.

18) Do not heat high alcohol content liquor or large amounts of oil asthey could catch fi re.

19) After heating baby foods (in bibs or jars), shake or stir the con-tents and check the temperature before feeding to avoid scalding.It is also advisable to shake or stir the food to ensure an eventemperature. In case commercially available bib sterilizers areused, before turning the oven on ALWAYS check that the con-tainer has been fi lled with the amount of water indicated by themanufacturer.

20) The oven must be cleaned regularly and eventual food remainsremoved. Lack of cleaning may cause surface deterioration. Thiscan have a negative infl uence on the appliance’s lifespan as wellas creating possible dangerous situations.

21) Do not use steam cleaners for cleaning inside the oven.

22) Do not use scouring detergents or sharp metal implements forcleaning the oven’s glass door, as that could damage the surfacecausing its breakage.

23) All microwave ovens are tested and approved in compliance withsafety regulations and electromagnetic compatibility in force. Asa precaution, the manufacturers of pacemakers recommend ke-eping a minimum distance of 20 – 30 cm between a working mi-crowave oven and a pacemaker in order to avoid possible inter-

7

EEENNEENN

ference with the pacemaker. If for any reason you suspect there is interference, switch off immediately the microwave oven and contact the pacemaker’s manufacturer.

24) In case of the oven’s overheating (prolonged use, use while emp-ty, etc.), the oven may be turned off by a safety thermostat. Aftercooling, the oven will go back to working normally.

22) When the appliance is working, the door and outer surface canbecome very hot.

N.B.: When switching the appliance on for the fi rst time, it is possi-ble that for about 10 minutes there is an unpleasant smell and a little smoke. This is merely caused by protective substances applied to the resistance.

1.3 Technical data• Internal measurements (LxHxD): 305x290x440• Oven’s net capacity: 35 Lt• Turntable diameter: 27 cm• Oven’s halogen lamp: G9 25 W• Microwave output power: 1000 W (IEC705)• Grill power: 1600 W

For further information, consult the appliance’s data plate. This appliance complies with the European Directive 2004/108/CE on Electromagnetic compatibility and with the European Regulation no. 1935/2004 of 27/10/2004 on materials destined for contact with foodstuffs.The product is classifi ed as belonging to Group 2, Class B of the ISM appliances. Group 2 includes all ISM ap-pliances (industrial, scientifi c or medical) in which the radio frequencies are generated intentionally and/or used in the form of electromagnetic radiation for material processing, as well as equipment for electro erosion. Equipment for domestic use or used in buildings connected directly to a low voltage network for supplying buil-dings destined for domestic use, fall into Class B.

1.4 Installation1) Remove the accessories from inside the oven and remove the packaging and protection. Check that the

turntable’s spindle “D” is inserted properly in its place.2) Clean inside with a soft damp cloth.3) Check that there has been no damage during transport, and in particular that the door opens and shuts

perfectly.4) Place the turntable support ring (E) in the centre of the circular housing and put the turntable (F) on top.5) Before use, check that the power supply is the same as that indicated on the appliance’s data plate

and that the plug is earthed: the Manufacturer declines any responsibility arising from the lackof observance of this regulation.

6) Most modern electronic appliances (tv, radio, stereo hi-fi , etc.) are shielded from radio frequencies (RF). Ho-wever, some electronic equipment may not be shielded against radio frequencies coming from microwaves.Keeping a distance of at least 1 – 2 metres between these appliances and the working oven is recommen-ded.

1.6 Containers for various types of cookingIn the microwave only and combined microwave functions, all glass (better if Pyrex), ceramic, porcelain, ear-thenware containers can be used, so long as they are not decorated or have no metallic parts (gold trim, handles, feet). It is also possible to use heat resistant plastic containers but just for “only microwave” cooking. However, if in any doubt of whether to use or not a particular container, you can carry out this simple test: place the empty container in the oven for 30 seconds on maximum power (“microwave only” function). If the container stays cold or heats slightly it means that it is suitable for microwave cooking. If on the other hand it becomes very hot (or sparks appear), the container is not suitable. Paper napkins, cardboard trays and disposable plastic plates can be used as drip collectors during short heating. It is indi-spensable that size and shape allow a proper rotation. To use large rectangular containers (which cannot rotate freely inside the oven), block the turntable’s (F) rotation by removing its spindle (D).Bear in mind that under these conditions, and to ensure satisfactory results, it is necessary to stir the food and rotate the container a number of times during cooking. All metallic, wooden, cane and crystal glass containers are not suitable for microwave cooking. It should be remembered that, as microwaves heat the food and not the container, it is possible to cook food on the serving plate thus avoiding the use and subsequent cleaning of pots. However, remember that it is possible that if the food is very hot, then it is this that will heat the plate, making the use of pot holders necessary. If the oven is used just as a grill, all types of oven ware can be used (see table).

1.7 General rules and advice for using the ovenMicrowaves are electromagnetic radiation also present in nature in the form of light waves (for example: sunlight) which, inside the oven, penetrate into the food from all directions and heat the water, fat and sugar molecules. Heat is produced very quickly just in the food, whereas the container heats up indirectly through heat transfer from the hot food. This stops the food from sticking to the container making it possible to use (or, in some cases, not use at all) very little fat during the cooking process.As it is low in fats, microwave cooking is judged to be very healthy and dietetic. Furthermore, with respect to traditional systems, cooking takes place at lower temperatures and therefore, dehydrating less, the food does not lose its nutrients and keeps its fl avour.

1.8 Essential rules for proper microwave cooking:

1) Cooking is closely linked to the size and uniformity of the foods to be cooked: a stew cooks quicker than aroast as it is made up of smaller and uniform pieces of meat.To set the times properly, bear in mind that making reference to the tables on the following pages, increasingthe amount of food, the cooking time must also be increased proportionately and vice versa. It is importantto respect the “settling” times : by settling time what is meant is the time in which the food must be leftto rest after cooking to allow a further temperature distribution inside it. For example, meats’ temperaturewill increase by about 5 – 8°C during the resting time. Settling times can also be obtained out of the oven.

2) One of the main tasks to be performed is to stir a number of times during cooking: this is needed to makethe temperature more uniform and reduce cooking times.

3) It is also advisable to turn the food over during cooking: mainly for large pieces (roasts, whole chickens...)and smaller pieces of meat (chicken breasts, stews...).

4) Foods with skins, shells or peel (for example: apples, potatoes, tomatoes, würstel, fi sh) are pier-ced all over with a fork so that the steam can escape and the skin or peel does not explode.

5) If cooking many portions of the same food, for example boiled potatoes, place them in a ring in an ovendish for uniform cooking.

6) The lower the food’s temperature on entering the microwave oven, greater the time needed. Room tempe-rature food will cook quicker than refrigerated food.

7) Always cook with the container in the centre of the turntable.8) Condensation inside the oven and around the door and air vent is normal. To reduce it, cover the food

with cling fi lm, greaseproof paper, glass covers or simply an overturned plate. Furthermore, foodshigh in water content (e.g. greens), cook better if covered. Covering the food also helps to keep the insideof the oven clean. Use cling fi lm suitable for microwave ovens.

9) Do not cook eggs in their shells in a microwave oven: the pressure formed inside would make the eggexplode, even at the end of the cooking. Do not heat cooked eggs, unless scrambled.

10) Before heating or cooking foods in sealed containers in the oven, make sure you open them. The pressurewithin the container would increase, making it explode even at the end of the cooking.

11) You are advised not to cook, defrost or heat vacuum packed foods. The rubber seal in the cover could bedamaged.

3.1 Defrosting• Frozen foods in bags or plastic wrap or in their own package can be put directly into the oven, so long as there

are no metal parts (e.g. ties or staples).• Certain foods, such as greens and fi sh, do not need to be completely defrosted before cooking.• Stews and meat sauces defrost better and quicker if stirred from time to time, turned over and/or separated.• During defrosting, meat, fi sh and fruit lose liquids. It is therefore advisable to defrost them in a tray.• It is advisable to separate each single piece of meat into its own bag before putting it in the freezer. This will

save you precious time during preparation.• Follow with care the times stated on the frozen foods’ package, as they are not always right. It is a good idea

to use slightly lower defrosting times than those stated. The duration of the defrosting will vary according tothe degree of freezing.

3.2 HeatingHeating food is where your oven comes into its own. With respect to traditional methods, the use of the micro-wave saves time and electricity.• We recommend heating food (mostly frozen) at a temperature of at least 70°C (it must be hot!). It will not be

possible to eat the food immediately, as it is too hot, but its total sterilization is guaranteed.• To heat pre-cooked or frozen foods, always follow the following rules:

a) remove from metallic containers;b) cover with clear fi lm (suitable for ovens or microwaves) or greaseproof paper; in this way all the naturalfl avour will be held in and the oven will remain clean; it’s also possible to cover with an overturned plate;

c) if possible, stir or turn over frequently to speed up and make uniform the heating process;d) follow with caution the times indicated on the package; remember that, under certain conditions, the sta-

ted times should be increased.• Frozen foods must be defrosted before heating. The lower the food’s initial temperature, the longer the time

needed for heating.• Food and drink can be heated for short periods of time in cardboard or plastic containers. However, these

containers may distort if the cooking time is lengthy.

3.3 Microwave cooking

Soups and riceIn general soups need lesser liquid as evaporation in microwave ovens is rather poor. Salt must be added only after cooking or during the settling time, as it dehydrates. It is right to say that the time necessary for cooking rice in a microwave oven (as for pasta) is more or less the same as cooking it traditionally on a cooker. The advantage of preparing rice in a microwave oven is in the fact that it does not need continuous stirring (2 – 3 times is enough). The ingredients are put into a microwave container and covered with a clear fi lm (for 300 gr of rice, 750 gr. of broth are necessary with microwaves at maximum power for about 12 – 15 minutes). Moreover, the rice does not stick to the bottom of the container and, as it can be cooked in a tureen or other table dish, it is not necessary to pour into a serving dish.

MeatWhen it is cooked with the microwave only, it is advisable to cover it with a clear fi lm suitable for microwave ovens; in this way the heat is distributed better and dehydration which makes it dry and tough is avoided. This function is suitable for stews, goulash, chicken breasts etc. The combined function must be used for cooking roasts, kebabs, etc.

FishFish cooks very quickly and with excellent results. It can be prepared with a little butter or oil (or nothing at all). Cover with a clear fi lm for microwaves. Naturally, if it has a skin, this needs to be cut; the fi llets are evenly distributed. It is not recommended to cook fi sh breaded with egg.

VegetablesMicrowave cooked vegetables keep their colour and nutrients more than during traditional cooking. Before coo-king, wash and clean them. The bigger ones should be cut into smaller pieces.For every 500 gr. of vegetables, add about 5 spoonfuls of water (fi brous vegetables need more water). The vegetables must always be covered with microwave clear fi lm. Stir at least once half way through cooking and add a little salt only at the end.

Desserts and fruitDesserts rise (on reduced power) much more than during traditional cooking. As they do not crust, the top should be covered with cream or iced (e.g. chocolate); Moreover they should be kept covered after cooking as they tend to dry out more quickly than those cooked in traditional ovens. Fruit needs to be pierced if cooked with the skin and kept covered: it is important to respect the settling time (3 - 5 minutes).

3.4 Combined microwave + grill cookingThis function is ideal for all those dishes that need “browning” or that need to take on a certain colour. It is ho-wever necessary to bear in mind the following:• Do not add seasoning (put only ½ a glass of water to keep the meat tender).• Turn roasts and large pieces of meat over half way through cooking.• To check progress, open the oven door. In this case it is advisable to use oven gloves; opening the door inter-

rupts the microwave’s function. To re-start, it is enough to close the door and press ST2. If during cooking thetop surface browns before reaching the set time, turn the oven off.

• In combined cooking with the grill, the oven must never be pre-heated or used without food in it.

4. Maintenance and cleaning

4.1 CleaningBefore starting maintenance or cleaning, always remove the plug from the mains and wait until the appliance is cold. Also keep the microwave output cover (C) free from fats or grease splatters. Do not use abrasive de-tergents, wire wool or sharp metal tools when cleaning the oven’s external surface. Furthermore, the use of alcohol, abrasive detergents and ammonia based detergents is not recommended for cleaning the inside and outside of the door. To ensure perfect closure, always keep the door’s inner face clean, ensuring that dirt and food remnants do not remain trapped between the door and oven surround. It will be necessary periodically to remove the turntable and its support to clean them, and the bottom of the oven.Wash the turntable and support in soapy water with neutral soap, even in the dishwasher. Do not put the turnta-ble in cold water after prolonged heating; the heat shock would cause breakage. The turntable’s motor is sealed. However, when cleaning the bottom, take care that water does not get under the turntable spindle.

4.2 MaintenanceIf anything seems not to function properly or in the case of a defect, contact Customer Service.NOTE: In case the oven lamp fails to work, it is possible to continue to use the appliance normally (it can be changed by the user). In any case, before calling our technicians, carry out the following simple checks:

PROBLEM CAUSE / REMEDY

The appliance does not work

• The door is not shut properly.• The plug is not squarely in the socket.• No power from the plug (check the mains fuse).• The time has not been set properly or the child safety has been activated.

Condensation inside the oven or around the door

• When cooking foods which have water, it is normal for the vapour createdinside the oven to try to get out and it condenses inside the oven or aroundthe door frame.

Sparks in the oven • Do not turn the oven on without food in microwave and combined mode.• Do not use metallic containers in cooking as above nor bags or packets with

staples.

The food does not heat or cook suf-fi ciently

• Select the correct function or increase the cooking time.• The food has not been completely defrosted prior to cooking.

The food burns • Select a lower power level or reduce cooking time.

The food does not cook evenly • Stir food during cooking. Bear in mind that food cooks better if cut into evenly

sized pieces.• The turntable is stuck.
