 CHAPTER 1 – GENERAL
1.1 IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
Read carefully these instructions and keep for future reference.
N.B. This oven has been designed to defrost, heat and cook food in the home. It must never be used for
other purposes, modified or tampered with in any way. This microwave oven is not designed for use in a
kitchen unit or flush mounted.
1) WARNING: If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been
repaired by a competent person (trained by the manufacturer or by its Customer Service).
2) WARNING: It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair
operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave
energy.
3) WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers
since they are liable to explode. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs
should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode even after
microwave heating has ended.
4) WARNING: Accessible parts may become hot during use. Young children should
be kept away. Do not allow the appliance to be used by persons (including
fig. 1
children) with psychological, physical or sensory impairments, or with
inadequate experience or knowledge, unless closely supervised and instructed
by someone responsible for their safety who can ensure they are aware of the
dangers associated with inappropriate use. Children must be supervised to
ensure they do not play with the appliance.
5) WARNING: When the appliance is operated in the combination mode, children
should only use the oven under adult supervision due to the temperatures
generated.
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 fig. 2
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) The following warnings must be considered when the door is open: Do not place
heavy object on the door or pull the handle downwards any further as the
appliance may tip over. Never place hot containers or pans (e.g. just taken off
the stove) on the door.
9) Do not operate the oven if the supply cable or the plug is damaged, as this may
fig. 3
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.
10) If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and KEEP THE DOOR
CLOSED in order to stifle any flames.
11) 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 disposable containers made of plastic, cardboard or other fig. 4
inflammable materials, and when heating small quantities of food.
12) Never place the turntable in water after it has ben heated for a long time. The
high thermal shock resulting would break the turntable.
13) 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.
14) Before using this oven, check to be certain that the utensil and containers chosen fig. 5
are suitable for microwave oven use (see the section on "Glassware and Similar
Items").

 CHAPTER 1 – GENERAL

15) The temperature of the door or the outer surface may be high when the appliance is operating. Do not
place anything on top of the oven while in use. Do not touch the heating elements inside the oven.
16) 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.
17) Do not heat spirit with a high alcohol content, nor large quantities of oil, as these could catch fire !
18) 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.
19) 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.
20) 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.
21) 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 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.
22) 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.
23) The door or the outer surface may get hot when the appliance is operating.
24) Appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.
25) The appliance must be placed to work with the rear side approached to the wall.
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

MICROWAVE OUTPUT POWER

The power output of your oven in WATTS is marked on the back of your appliance under the heading MICRO
OUTPUT. When you consult tables, always refer to the output of your oven!
It will also be useful when you consult microwave recipes.

On some models, the microwave output power is also given in this symbol, reproduced
on the control panel.

1.3 INSTALLATION AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

1) Unpack the oven and remove the protective packaging containing the turntable (H), turntable support (I)
and accessories. Check that the turntable spindle (D) is fitted correctly into the
recess in the centre of the turntable.
2) Clean the inside of the oven with a soft, damp cloth.
25 cm
5 cm
3) Check that the oven has not been damaged during transport. Check in parti-
cular that the door opens and closes properly.
4) Place the oven on a flat, stable surface at a height of at least 85 cm and out fig. 6
of reach of children as the door may become very hot during cooking.
5) When positioning the oven on the worktop, take care to maintain a gap of AIR
USCITA
OUTLET
approx. 5 cm between the oven and the walls to its rear and sides and a ARIA AIR
ENTRATA
gap of at least 25 cm above the oven (fig. 6). INLET
ARIA

6) Do not block the air intake vents. In particular, never place anything on top of the
oven and make sure the air and steam outlet vents (on the top, bottom and rear
of the appliance) are ALWAYS FREE (fig. 7). AIR

OUTLET
ARIA
7) Place the turntable support (I) in the centre of the circular housing and rest the
turntable (H) on top. The spindle (D) must be inserted into the housing in the cen- fig. 7
tre of the turntable.
N.B. Do not position the oven on or near sources of heat (for example on top
of a refrigerator) (fig. 8).
8) The appliance must be connected to a socket with a minimum current rating of
16A. Make sure the household main switch has a minimum rating of 16A to fig. 8
avoid it tripping unexpectedly during operation of the oven.
9) Position the oven in such a way that the power plug and socket are easily acces-
sible.
10) Before you switch on the oven, check that the mains voltage corresponds to that specified on the oven rating
plate and that the power socket is properly earthed. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for failure to
observe this safety precaution.
11) The majority of modern electronic appliances (TV, radio, stereo systems etc) are shielded from radio fre-
quency (RF) signals. Certain electronic appliances may not, however, be shielded from radio frequency sig-
nals deriving from a microwave oven. You should therefore keep a distance of at least 1-2 metres between
these appliances and the operating oven.

1.5 OVENWARE
In microwave only and combi with microwave functions, any glass (preferably Pyrex), ceramic, china or ter-
racotta ovenware may be used provided it has no metal decorations or parts (eg. gold paint decorations, metal
handles, feet etc.). Heat resistant plastic containers may also be used, but only in microwave only mode.
If you are in doubt as to the suitability of a particular container, carry out this simple test - place the empty
container in the oven for 30 seconds at maximum power (microwave only mode).
If the container remains cold or heats up only slightly, it is suitable for microwave cooking.
If it becomes very hot (or sparks are produced), the container is not suitable.
You can also use heat resistant plastic containers.
When heating food for brief periods, paper napkins, cardboard trays or disposable plastic plates can be used
as a base. The size and shape of containers must allow them to rotate easily inside the oven.
Metal, wood, cane and crystal glass containers are not suitable for microwave cooking.
Since microwaves heat food - and not the dish - you can also heat food on the plate you intend to serve it on.
This can save you a lot of unnecessary washing up.
Remember that heat may be transferred from the food to the plate. You may therefore have to use an oven
glove to take it out of the oven. All standard ovenware may be used in "FAN", "GRILL" or "FAN + GRILL" func-
tions.
The following table provides useful guidelines for choosing ovenware:

 CHAPTER 1 – GENERAL

1.6 RULES AND TIPS FOR USING THE OVEN

Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation. They occur in nature in the
form of light waves (eg. sunlight). In the oven, these waves penetrate food from
all directions to heat water, fat and sugar molecules.
Heat is generated in the food itself, while the container warms up as a result of
heat spreading from the food only.
In microwave cooking, food does not stick to the dish. You can therefore use very
little fat and in some cases no fat at all.
As it is low in fat, microwave cooking is considered to be healthy.
Microwave cooking also involves lower temperatures than traditional cooking. It fig. 9
therefore dehydrates foods less, destroys less of their nutritional value and
retains more original flavour.
Basic r ules for microwave cooking
1) Cooking time depends directly on the size and consistency of the food. A
casserole will cook faster than a roast because it consists of smaller pieces
and because all the pieces are the same size. When you refer to the cooking
tables later in this manual, remember that you must increase or reduce
cooking time to match the quantity of food to be cooked. Always respect
standing time, in other words, the length of time you must leave food to "rest"
after cooking. Standing time ensures that food is served at an even tempe- fig. 10
rature throughout. The temperature of meat, for example, can rise between
5°C and 8°C (approx. 9°F to 15°F) during standing time. Food can be left
to stand inside or outside the oven.
2) Always mix or stir food several times during cooking. This not only ensures
even temperature distribution but also reduces cooking time.
3) Turn food over during cooking. This is specially important for meat, whether
in large pieces (roasts, whole chickens, etc.) or small pieces (chicken brea-
sts, casseroles, etc.).
4) Pierce foods with skins, shells or peel (eg. apples, potatoes, tomatoes,
frankfurters, fish, etc.) with a fork at several points to allow steam to esca-
pe from inside. This prevents these foods from exploding inside the oven
(see fig. 9).
5) If you are cooking a number of portions of the same type of food (eg. boi-
led potatoes), arrange the portions in a ring around the outside of an oven- fig. 11
proof dish to ensure they cook evenly (see fig. 10).
6) The lower the temperature at which food is placed in the oven, the longer the
cooking time required. Food placed in the oven at room temperature will
cook sooner than food coming directly from the refrigerator.
7) Always place dishes and containers in the middle of the turntable.
8) It is perfectly normal for condensation to form inside the oven and near the
air outlet vents. To reduce condensation, cover food with clear film, wax
paper, a Pyrex lid or just a plate. Foods with a high water content (eg.
greens and vegetables) cook better when covered. Covering food also helps
keep the inside of the oven clean. Use clear film made specifically for
microwave ovens.
9) Do not cook eggs in their shells (fig. 11). Pressure will build up inside and
can cause the egg to explode, even after cooking has finished. Do not reheat
eggs cooked in their shells. Reheat scrambled eggs only.
10) Always open air-tight or sealed containers before placing them in the oven,
otherwise pressure will build up inside and may cause them to swell and
explode even after cooking has finished.

USING THE MICRO FUNCTION TO DEFROST

• Frozen foods in plastic bags, film, or oven ready containers can be placed directly in the oven. Check first
that there are no metal objects like staples or ties.
• Certain foods, like vegetables and fish, do not need to be fully defrosted before cooking.
• Foods in meat and other sauces defrost quicker and more evenly if they are stirred, turned and/or
separated occasionally.
• During defrosting, meat, fish and fruit lose liquid. Always place these foods in a bowl to defrost.
• You are recommended to divide meat and place individual pieces in separate bags when freezing.
This will save you valuable time during preparation.
• Always use caution when following the times given on frozen food packs as they are not always correct.
You are recommended to use slightly shorter defrosting times than those given. Defrosting time depends on
the degree of freezing.
DEFROSTING BREAD
To obtain warm fragrant bread, set maximum microwave power level (30 seconds for every 100 g of bread
approximately). When the bread is just soft to the touch, set the GRILL only function for 3-4 minutes.
Place the bread directly on the turntable.

 CHAPTER 2 - USING THE CONTROLS AND SETTING THE FUNCTIONS

USING THE MICRO FUNCTION TO KEEP FOOD WARM

This function is recommended for all types of food.

It enables cooked or heated food to be kept warm without becoming dry or sticking to the cooking container.

Set the microwave power level at 10 and cover the food with a plate or clear film to keep it warm until served.

If you prefer, you can keep the food warm directly on the serving plate (covered).

USING THE MICRO FUNCTION TO HEAT FOOD

When used to heat up food, your microwave oven shows off its usefulness and efficiency to the full.
With respect to traditional methods, a microwave saves you time and, therefore, also electricity.

• You are recommended to heat food (particularly if frozen) to a temperature of at least 70°C (it must be
piping hot!). You will not be able to eat the food at once as it will be too hot, but complete sterilisation will
be guaranteed.

• Always follow these rules for reheating cooked or frozen foods:

- remove the food from metal containers;
- cover with clear film (for microwave use) or greaseproof paper. This will
retain all the natural flavour and keep the oven clean. You can also cover
with an upturned plate;
- if possible, mix or turn frequently to make the heating process quicker and more even.
- use extreme caution when following times indicated on packaging. Remember that in certain conditions,
these times may have to be increased;

• Frozen food must be defrosted before heating starts. The lower the initial temperature of the food, the lon-
ger the time required for heating.

• Food and beverages may be heated for short periods in paper or plastic containers. However, if the
cooking time is too long, these containers may distort.

 CHAPTER 2 - USING THE CONTROLS AND SETTING THE FUNCTIONS

USING THE MICRO FUNCTION TO COOK

SOUPS AND RICE

Soups and minestrones in general can be made with less water because very little water is lost through
evaporation in microwave ovens.
Add salt at the end of cooking or during standing time because salt has a dehydrating effect.
Note that the time required to cook rice (or pasta) in a microwave oven is more or less the same as required
to cook it traditionally on the stove.
The advantage of preparing a risotto in a microwave lies in the fact that it does not require continual stirring
(two to three times is enough).
Place all the ingredients in a microwave resistant dish and cover with film. For 300g of rice, you need 750g
of broth and maximum microwave power level for 12 - 15 minutes.
The rice does not stick to the bottom of the container and, given that you can use a soup-tureen or other
container suitable for bringing to the table, you do not necessarily have to transfer to a serving plate.

MEAT
When cooking meat with the microwave only function, you should cover it with microwave resistant clear film.
This helps spread the heat evenly and avoids the food becoming dry and stringy.
This function can be used to cook stews, goulash, chicken breast, etc. To cook roasts, kebabs, etc use the combi
function.

FISH
Fish cooks fast and with excellent results.
Flavour to taste with a little butter or oil (or cook without condiment if preferred).
Cover with clear film.
Cut skin before cooking. Arrange fillets evenly.
Cooking fish with egg and breadcrumbs is not recommended.

VEGETABLES
Vegetables conserve more of their natural colour and nutritional goodness when cooked in a microwave oven
compared to traditional cooking methods.
Wash and peel vegetables before cooking.
Large vegetables should be cut into even pieces.
For every 500 g of vegetables, add about five dessertspoons of water (fibrous vegetables require more water).
Always cover vegetables with clear film.
Stir at least once halfway through the cooking time. Add salt at the end of cooking only.

2.3 SETTING THE FAN FUNCTION

This function can be used to:

• Cook all types of "traditional" dish such as roasts, chicken, cakes and desserts, puff pastry, baked vegetables, etc.

1 Press the FAN button. The

default temperature appears
on the display and increases
each time the button is pres-
sed from a minimum of 100°
to a maximum of 230°.

2 Select the time required by

rotating the TIME ADJUST
knob (8).

3 3 Place the food on the low

wire rack, close the door and
press the START/+1 min but-
ton (10). The set time appears
on the display.

If you need to preheat the oven…

• Select the required temperature by repeatedly pressing the FAN button.
• When the temperature has been selected, press the START/+1 min button (10).
• When the oven reaches the set temperature, it goes off automatically and emits 10 “beeps” to indicate that the
food can be inserted.
• Proceed with points 1, 2 and 3 above.
This function can be used to prepare all dishes which would normally be cooked in a traditional oven.
To ensure correct air circulation and optimum heat distribution, food to be cooked must be placed in shallow
ovenware on the low wire rack (F). As microwaves are not used in this function, turntable rotation is not
indispensable for perfect heat distribution. You can therefore use large rectangular dishes (up to the maximum
capacity of the oven) and block rotation of the turntable by extracting the turntable spindle (D) as shown in the
figure on page 44. In this case, you should turn the dish through 180° at least twice during cooking (not
recommended when cooking cakes).
You should always preheat the oven when cooking cakes, desserts or dishes using puff pastry.
Important: you should use oven gloves as the appliance and accessories become very hot.
Always close the door again when you have finished checking cooking.

 CHAPTER 3 - CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
3.1 CLEANING
Before performing any cleaning or maintenance, always disconnect the plug
from the power socket and wait for the oven to cool down.

Always keep the microwave outlet covers (C) free from grease or splashes of fat.
Do not use abrasives, steel wool or sharp metal utensils to clean the outside of
the oven.
Do not allow water or liquid detergent to penetrate the air and steam outlet vents
on the top of the appliance.
Do not use alcohol, scouring powders, or ammonia-based detergents to clean
the inside or outside of the door.
Never steam clean the inside of the oven.
Always keep the inside of the door clean to ensure that it closes properly. Make
sure that dirt and food residues do not build up between the door and the front
panel of the oven.

Clean the air vents at the rear of the oven regularly to prevent dust and dirt
from blocking them over time.

Remove the turntable (H) and its support ring (I) periodically to clean them. Also
clean the bottom of the oven under the turntable.
Wash the turntable and its support ring in soapy water using a neutral deter-
gent. Both the turntable and its support ring can be washed in a dishwasher.

Never plunge the hot turntable into cold water. The sudden change in tempe-
rature could cause it to crack.

The turntable motor is sealed.

However, when cleaning the bottom of the oven, make sure the water does not
penetrate under the turntable spindle (D).
