6) Do not attempt to operate the oven with the door  
open by tampering with the safety devices.  
7) Do not operate the oven if objects for any kind get  
stuck between the front panel of the oven and the  
door. Always keep the inside of the door (E) clean,  
using a damp cloth and non-abrasive detergents.  
Do not allow dirt or remains of food to accumulate  
between the front panel of the oven on the door.  
8) Do not operate the oven if the supply cable or the  
plug is damaged, as this may result in electric  
shocks. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be  
replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent  
or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a  
hazard.  
9) If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the  
appliance and KEEP THE DOOR CLOSED in order  
to stifle any flames.  
22  
 
10)Only use utensils that are suitable for use in  
microwave ovens. In order to avoid overheating  
and the consequent risk of fire, it is advisable to  
supervise the oven when cooking food in  
and the pacemaker in order to avoid possible  
interference with the pacemaker. If you suspect  
that such an interference is occurring, turn the oven  
off immediately and contact the pacemaker  
manufacturer.

disposable containers made of plastic, cardboard  
or other inflammable materials, and when heating  
small quantities of food.  
21)If the oven overheats (prolonged use, use empty,  
etc), the safety thermostat could turn the oven off.  
After cooling down, the oven will operate as normal.  
22)The door or the outer surface may get hot when the  
appliance is operating.  
11)Never place the turntable in water after it has ben  
heated for a long time. The high thermal shock  
resulting would break the turntable.  
12)When cooking "Only MICROWAVE" and  
"COMBINED WITH MICROWAVE" , you absolutely  
must not pre-heat the oven (without foodstuffs in it)  
and you must not operate it when it is empty,  
because you might cause sparking.  
N.B. When the oven is used for the first time it is  
possible that, for a period of approx. 10 minutes, it  
may produce a “new” smell and a small amount of  
smoke. This is only a result of protective  
substances applied to the heating element  
13)Before using this oven, check to be certain that the  
utensil and containers chosen are suitable for  
microwave oven use (see the section on  
Technical data  
"Glassware and Similar Items").

14)The temperature of the door or the outer surface  
may be high when the appliance is operating. Do  
not touch the heating elements inside the oven.  
15)When heating liquids (water, coffee, milk, etc.) it is  
possible that the contents may suddenly start to boil  
and spill violently as a result of delayed boiling,  
causing scalding. To avoid this happening, you  
should place a heat-resistant plastic spoon or a  
glass rod in the container before starting to heat  
liquids. Anyway, care shall be taken when handling  
the container.

This appliance conforms to EC directive 2004/108/EC  
on Electromagnetic Compatibility and EC regulation  
no. 1935/2004 of 27/10/2004 on materials intended for  
contact with food.  
The product is classified as Group 2, Class B ISM  
equipment. The definition of Group 2 which contains  
all ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) equipment  
in which radio-frequency energy is intentionally  
generated and/or used in the form of electromagnetic  
radiation for the treatment of material, and spark  
erosion equipment.  
For Class B equipment is equipment suitable for use  
in domestic establishments and in establishments  
directly connected to a low voltage power supply  
network which supplies buildings used for domestic  
purpose.  
16)Do not heat spirit with a high alcohol content, nor  
large quantities of oil, as these could catch fire !  
17) The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars  
shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature  
shall be checked before consumption in order to  
avoid burns. It is also advisable to stir or shake the  
food in order to ensure that it has an even  
temperature. When using commercially available  
bottle sterilisers, before turning the oven on,  
ALWAYS make sure the container is filled with the  
quantity of water indicated by the manufacturer.  
18)Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition  
could lead to deterioration of the surface that could  
adversely affect the life of the appliance and  
possibly result in a hazardous situation.  
19)Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal  
scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they  
can scratch the surface, which may result in  
shattering of the glass.  
20)All microwaves are tested and approved in  
accordance with current electromagnetic safety and  
compatibility regulations and standards. As a  
precautionary measure, pacemaker manufacturers  
recommend wearers to keep a minimum distance of  
20-30 cm between an operating microwave oven

4) Place the support (H) in the centre of the circular  
groove and fix the turntable (G) to it. The spindle  
(D) should be inserted in the corresponding groove  
in the centre of the turntable.  
You can make use of all types of containers made of  
glass (preferably Pyrex), ceramics, porcelain and  
glazed pottery as long as they do not have  
5) After the installation has been performed, the  
power supply cable and the power socket must be  
easy to access.  
6) Only a qualified electrician may install or relocate a  
socket outlet.  
7) Only connect the appliance to a power socket with  
a power capacity of at least 16A. Also make sure  
that the main switch installed in your home has a  
minimum power capacity of 16A in order to avoid it  
suddenly tripping while the oven is on.  
8) Before use, check that the power supply voltage is  
the same as the one shown on the rating label and  
that the power outlet is properly earthed: the  
manufacturer disclaims any liability in the event of  
non-compliance with this safety regulation.  
9) The majority of modern electronic appliances (TV,  
radio, stereo systems etc) are shielded from radio  
frequency (RF) signals. Certain electronic  
appliances may not, however, be shielded from  
radio frequency signals deriving from a microwave  
oven. You should therefore keep a distance of at  
least 1 - 2 metres between these appliances and the  
operating oven.  
decorations or metal parts (gilded borders, handles,  
feet). Heat resistant plastic containers can also be  
used, but only for “Microwave Only” cooking. If you  
are still doubtful about using a particular container,  
you can perform a simple test. Place the empty  
container in the oven for 30 seconds at maximum  
power (“Microwave Only” function).  
If the container is still cold or only slightly warm, it is  
suitable for microwave cooking.  
If it is very hot or gives out sparks, it is not suitable.  
For short heating periods, you may use paper  
napkins, cardboard trays and plastic “throwaway”  
plates as a base.  
As far as shape and size are concerned, it is  
absolutely essential that containers be such as to  
allow the turntable to rotate.  
In order to use large-size rectangular containers  
(which may not be able to rotate inside the cooking  
cavity), you can remove the spindle (D) from its  
housing to prevent the turntable (G) moving. Bear in  
mind that to be assured of good results when carrying  
this out you must stir the food and turn the container  
around several times during the cooking process.  
Containers made of metal, wood, recycled kitchen  
paper, cane and plate glass are not suitable for use in  
microwave ovens. The metal grill rack supplied with  
your microwave have been fully tested for safe use.  
You should remember, too, that since microwaves  
heat the food and not the glassware, earthenware or  
similar containers for that food, it is possible to cook  
such foods in the serving dish and thereby avoid the  
problem of having to clean pans later.  
If the oven is used in its grill only functions, any type  
of oven container may be used (see chart).

Rules and general suggestions for  
using the oven  
GB  
7) Always do your cooking by placing the food  
container in the centre of the turntable.  
Microwaves consist of electromagnetic radiation found  
in nature under the form of light waves (e.g., sunlight).  
Inside the oven, these waves penetrate food from all  
directions and heat up the water, fatty and sugar  
molecules. Heat is produced very quickly only in the  
food itself, whereas the container being used warms  
up indirectly by meansof heat given off by the heated  
food. This prevents food from sticking to its container,  
so you can use very little fatty substance or, in some  
cases, no fat at all during the cooking process.  
Therefore cooking in a microwave oven is considered  
to be healthy and good for one’s diet. And in contrast  
to traditional methods, cooking in a microwave  
foodstuffs are less dehydrated, lose less of their  
nutritional value, and retain more of their original  
flavour.  
8) It is perfectly normal for condensation to form  
inside the oven and near the air outlet.  
To reduce such condensation, cover the foodstuffs  
with clear-sheet, wax paper, a glass lid or simply  
an overturned plate. Then, too, foods having a  
water content (e.g., greens and vegetables) cook  
better when covered. The covering of food also  
helps keep the oven clean on the inside. Use clear-  
sheet made expressly for microwave ovens.  
9) Do not cook eggs in their shells: the pressure  
which builds up on the inside would cause the egg  
to explode, even after cooking has finished. Do not  
heat up eggs which have already been cooked,  
unless they are scrambled.  
10)Do not forget to open containers which are air-tight  
or sealed before heating or cooking food in the  
oven. The pressure on the inside of the container  
would rise, causing them to explode even after  
cooking has finished.  
Basic rules for correct cooking with a microwave  
oven  
1) In order to set cooking times correctly, remember  
(in referring to the charts on the following pages)  
that when you increase the amount of foodstuffs  
the cooking temperature must likewise be  
proportionately increased and vice-versa. It is  
important to respect the “standing” times: standing  
time means that period during which the food must  
be left to “rest” after being cooked so as to allow an  
even greater spreading of the temperature within.  
The temperature of meat, for example, will rise  
about 5°-8° C. (approx. 9°-15° F.) during the  
standing time. Standing times may be observed  
either inside or outside the oven.  
2) One of the main things you must do is stir the food  
several times while it is being cooked. This helps  
make the temperature distribution more uniform  
and thus shortens the cooking time.  
3) It is also advisable to turn the foodstuff over during  
its cooking process: this applies especially for  
meat, whether it is in large pieces (roasts, whole  
chickens, etc.) or small (chicken breasts, etc.).  
4) Foods having a skin, shell or peel (e.g., apples,  
potatoes, tomatoes, frankfurters, fish) must be  
pierced with a fork in several points so as to permit  
steam to escape and to prevent those items from  
exploding.  
5) If you are preparing a large number of portions of  
the same food item (e.g., boiled potatoes), place  
those portions in a Pyrex dish in order to have  
them cook in a uniform manner:  
6) The lower the temperature at which a foodstuff is  
placed in a microwave oven, the longer the cooking  
time required. Food having a room temperature will

N.B: You do not have to pre-  
heat the oven.  
Selecting the  
power level and covering the  
food with a plate or plastic film, you will find that foods  
will remain warm up to serving time  
You can leave foods in their cooking container if they  
are covered.  
Using the microwave only function to  
defrosting  
Check to make sure that the  
programme selector knob is in  
position  
Foods frozen in bags or plastic sheeting or in their  
packaging may be placed directly in the oven, as  
long as they have no metal parts (e.g., bands or  
closure rivets).  
Certain foods, such as greens, vegetables and  
fish, do not have to be completely defrosted before  
you begin cooking them.  
Choose the power level you  
want by turning the power  
selector knob.  
Stewed foods and meats as well as meat sauces  
defrost better and quicker if they are stirred from  
time to time, turned over or separated.  
While defrosting, meat and fish lose their liquid  
content. It is recommended, therefore, that you  
defrost such items in a tray or basin.  
It is advisable to separate each individual piece of  
meat from its bag before putting it in the freezer.  
This will help you save valuable time will preparing  
foods.  
Set the cooking time desired by  
turning the timer knob in a  
clockwise direction.  
Be careful about following the cooking times  
printed on frozen products, because those times  
are not always correct. It is best to use defrosting  
times slightly less than those indicated. The time  
needed for defrosting will vary in terms of the  
degree to which the food has been frozen.  
Once the set cooking time has  
expired, a buzzer will sound to  
signal that your food is ready.  
It is possible to interrupt the  
oven’s operations at any time

To heat pre-cooked or frozen foods, follow these  
rules:  
Using the microwave only function to  
re-heating  
-
-
remove the food from its metal containers;  
cover it with plastic wrap (the clear-film type  
suitable for microwave ovens) or wax paper; in  
this way, all the food’s natural flavour will be  
preserved and the oven will stay cleaner; you  
may also cover the food with an upside-down  
plate;  
Heating food in a microwave oven is much quicker  
and energy efficient than traditional methods.  
We recommend that you heat foodstuffs (especially  
if they are frozen) to a temperature of at least 70°  
C. (it must be piping hot!). Leave to stand for a few  
minutes as you will not be able to eat that food  
immediately because it will be too hot.  
This will ensure that any possible bacteria present  
in food will have been killed.  
-
if possible, stir or turn the food over frequently  
so as to speed up the heating process and  
keep the heat uniform at the same time;  
28  
 
-
follow the cooking times listed with great  
caution; remember that under certain conditions  
the timings given must be lengthened  
Foodstuffs and drinks may be heated briefly in  
paper or plastic containers. In any event, however,  
such containers may become misshapen if the  
heating time is too long.

Frozen foods must be defrosted before the heating  
process begins. The lower the food’s initial  
temperature, the longer the time needed for

Using the microwave only functionfor  
cooking  
GB  
Greens and vegetables must always be covered with  
plastic wrap.  
Soups and rice  
Stir greens and vegetables at least once at the  
halfway point. Add a little salt only at the end.  
Soups or broth usually require a smaller amount of  
liquid because the evaporation in microwave ovens is  
rather limited. Because it is a dehydrating agent, salt  
must be added only when the cooking is finished or  
during the standing time.  
Fruit and baked goods  
Baked goods rise (at lower oven power) much more  
than then do with regular baking. Since no crust is  
formed, it is better to garnish the surface portions with  
cream or icing (e.g., chocolate); in addition, you must  
keep the item being baked fully covered, because  
such foodstuffs tend to dry out more quickly than  
those baked in a regular oven. Fruit is to be pierced if  
cooked with its peel on and is to be kept covered: it is  
essential that you adhere to the standing time (3 to 5  
minutes).  
It is correct to say that the temperature required for  
cooking rice in a microwave oven (as is true also for  
pasta) is more or less the same as that needed to  
cook this foodstuff over a burner on a regular stove.  
The advantage of preparing a risotto dish in a  
microwave oven lies in the fact that you do not have to  
stir the rice constantly (two or three times is enough).  
The ingredients are placed in a container suitable for  
microwave ovens and covered with plastic wrap (for  
about 300 gr. of rice, you need 750 gr. of broth with  
the oven programmed at top power for about 12 to 15  
minutes). In addition, the rice will not stick to the  
bottom of its container and, since it can be cooked in a  
tureen or some other such receptacle to be brought to  
the table, you will not have to transfer that rice to a  
serving plate.  
Meats  
When using the microwave-only function to cook  
meat, you should cover the meat with plastic wrap  
made for microwave oven use; in this way, the heat is  
distributed better and you will prevent the loss of  
juices that often leads to dried-up and stringy meat.  
This oven function is suitable for making stews,  
goulash, chicken breasts, etc. To prepare roasts and  
skewered meat dishes (among others), you must use  
the combined function.  
Fish  
In a microwave oven, fish can be prepared very  
quickly and with excellent results. You can season it  
with a little oil or butter (or not season it at all, if you so  
prefer). Cover the fish with clear-sheet. The skin is to  
be slit, of course, and filleted fish must be placed in a  
uniform fashion. We recommend that you not use this  
oven to cook fish which has been dipped in egg batter.  
Green and vegetables  
Greens and vegetables cooked in a microwave oven  
retain more of their colour and nutritional value than  
when cooked in traditional ovens. Before cooking  
greens and vegetables, wash and clean them.  
Larger-sized varieties of this category are to be cut up  
into uniform pieces.  
Per every 500 gr. of greens or vegetables add about 5  
teaspoons of water (fibre-type vegetables need more

Care and cleaning  
Do not immerse the turntable in cold water after  
prolonged heating; the sudden change in temperature  
would cause it to crack.  
Cleaning  
GB  
Always switch off at the power socket, disconnect the  
plug and wait for the appliance to cool down, before  
any cleaning and maintenance is carried out.  
The turntable motor is sealed. When cleaning the  
bottom, you should nevertheless take care to avoid  
water penetrating under the turntable spindle (D).  
The internal cavity of your oven is covered with a  
special non-stick finish to which splashes and food  
particles do not stick, making cleaning particularly  
simple. Always keep the microwave outlet cover (C)  
clean and free from grease and splashes of fat.
