Microwave safety
Warning! Never leave the oven unwatched,
especially when using paper, plastic or other
combustible materials. These materials can
char and may fire. FIRE RISK!
Warning! Do not heat pure alcohol or
alcoholic drinks in the microwave. FIRE
RISK!
Warning! Do not heat liquids or other foods
in closed containers since these may
explode readily.
Warning! This appliance is not intended for
use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of
the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety. Children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
Warning! If the oven has a combined
function mode (microwave with other means
of heating), children should not be allowed to
use the oven without adult supervision on
account of the high temperatures generated.
Warning! The oven cannot be used if:
- The door is not closed correctly;
- The door hinges are damaged;
- The surfaces of the contact between the
door and the oven front are damaged;
- The door window glass is damaged;
- There is frequent electrical arcing inside
the oven even though there is no metal
object inside.
The oven can only be used again after it
has been repaired by a Technical
Assistance Service technician.
Beware!
Never heat baby foods or drinks in bottles or
jars with the teats or lids on them. After
heating the food mix or shake well so that
the heat is spread evenly. Check the food
temperature before feeding this to the child.
DANGER OF BURNING!
To avoid food overheating or burning it is
very important not to select long time
periods or power levels that are too high
when heating small quantities of food. For
example, a bread roll can burn after 3
minutes if the power selected is too high.
For toasting, use just the grilling function and
watch the oven all the time. It you use a
combined function to toast bread it will catch
fire in a very short time.
Make sure you never catch the power cables
of other electrical appliances in the hot door
or the oven. The cable insulation may melt.
Danger of short-circuiting!

Microwave safety
This oven is exclusively for domestic use!
Use the oven only for preparing meals.
Avoid damaging the oven or other
dangerous situations by following these
instructions:
Do not switch on the oven without the
turntable support, the turntable ring and
the respective plate being in place.
Never switch on the microwave when it
is empty. If there is no food inside there
may be an electrical overcharge and the
oven could be damaged. RISK OF
DAMAGE!
For carrying out oven programming
tests put a glass of water inside the oven.
The water will absorb the microwaves and
the oven will not be damaged.
Use only dishes suitable for
microwaves. Before using dishes and
containers in the microwave, check that
these are suitable (see the section on
types of dishes).
Never remove the mica cover on the
ceiling of the oven interior! This cover
stops fat and pieces of food damaging the
microwave generator.
Do not keep any inflammable object
inside the oven as it may burn if the oven
is switched on.
Do not use the oven as a pantry.
Eggs with their shells and whole boiled
eggs must not be heated in microwave
ovens because they may explode.
Do not use the oven for frying as it is
impossible to control the temperature of oil
heated by microwaves.
To avoid being burnt, always use oven
gloves for handling dishes and containers
and touching the oven.
Do not lean or sit on the open oven
door. This may damage the oven,
especially in the hinge zone. The door can
bear a maximum weight of 8 kg.
The turntable and the grills can bear a
maximum load of 8 kg. To avoid damaging
the oven, do not exceed this load.
Cleaning:
Warning! Your microwave oven must be
cleaned regularly. All food remains must
be removed (see section on Oven
Cleaning). If the microwave oven is not
kept clean its surface may deteriorate and
this may shorten the oven’s working life
and could even result in a dangerous
situation.
The door contact surfaces (the front of the
cavity and the inside part of the doors)
must be kept very clean in order to ensure
the oven functions correctly.
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.
Do not use high pressure or stream jet
cleaning appliances.
Please follow the instructions regarding
cleaning in the section “Oven Cleaning and
Maintenance”.
Repairs:
Warning – Microwaves! The outer
protection of the oven must not be
removed. It is dangerous for anyone not
authorized by the manufacturer to carry
out any kind of repair or maintenance
work.
If the power cable is damaged it should be
substituted by the manufacturer,
authorized agents or technicians qualified
for this task in order to avoid dangerous
situations. Furthermore, special tools are
required for this task.
Repair and maintenance work, especially
of current carrying parts, can only be
carried out by technicians authorized by
the manufacturer.

The advantages of microwaves
In conventional ovens, heat radiated by electrical
elements or gas burners slowly penetrates the
food from outside to inside. On account of this
there is a major amount of energy is wasted
heating the air, the oven components and the food
containers.
In a microwave oven, heat is generated by the
food itself and the heat travels from inside to
outside. No heat is lost to the air, the walls of the
oven cavity or the dishes and containers (if these
are suitable for use in microwave oven), in other
words, only the food is heated.
Microwave ovens have the following advantages:
1. Shorter cooking times; in general these are
up to 3/4 less than the time required for
conventional cooking.
2. Ultra-fast food defrosting, thus reducing the
danger of bacterial development.
3. Energy savings.
4. Conservation of the nutritional value of foods
due to the shorter cooking times.
5. Easy to clean.
How a microwave oven works
In a microwave oven there is a high tension valve
called a magnetron which converts electrical
energy into microwave energy. These
electromagnetic waves are channelled to the
interior of the oven through a wave guide and
distributed by a metallic spreader or through a
turntable.
Inside the oven the microwaves propagate in all
directions and are reflected by the metal walls,
uniformly penetrating the food.
Why food heats up
Most foods contain water and water molecules
vibrate when subjected to microwaves.
The friction between molecules produces heat
which raises the temperature of the food, de-
freezing it, cooking it or keeping it hot.
Since the heat arises inside the food:
This can be cooked with little or no liquid
or fats/oils;
De-freezing, heating or cooking in a
microwave oven is quicker than in a
conventional oven;
The vitamins, minerals and nutritional
substances in the food are conserved;
The natural colour and aroma of the food
are unchanged.
Microwaves pass through china, glass, cardboard
or plastic but do not go through metal. For this
reason, metal containers or ones with metal parts
must not be used in a microwave oven.
Microwaves are reflected by metal...
... but go through glass and china...
and are absorbed by foods.

Defrosting
General instructions for defrosting
1. When defrosting, use only dishes that are
appropriate for microwaves (china, glass,
suitable plastic).
2. The defrost function by weight and the tables
refer to the defrosting of raw food.
3. The defrosting time depends on the quantity
and thickness of the food. When freezing
food keep the defrosting process in mind.
Distribute the food evenly in the container.
4. Distribute the food as best as possible inside
the oven. The thickest parts of fish or
chicken drumsticks should be turned towards
the outside. You can protect the most
delicate parts of food with pieces of
aluminium foil. Important: The aluminium foil
must not come into contact with the oven
cavity interior as this can cause electrical
arcing.
5. Thick portions of food should be turned
several times.
6. Distribute the frozen food as evenly as
possible since narrow and thin portions
defrost more quickly than the thicker and
broader parts.
7. Fat-rich foods such as butter, cream cheese
and cream should not be completely
defrosted. If they are kept at room
temperature they will be ready to be served
in a few minutes. With ultra-frozen cream, if
you find small pieces of ice in it, you should
mix these in before serving.
8. Place poultry on an upturned plate so that
the meat juices can run off more easily.
9. Bread should be wrapped in a napkin so that
it does not become too dry.
10. Turn the food at regular intervals.
11. Remove frozen food from its wrapping and
do not forget to take off any metal twist-tags.
For containers that are used to keep frozen
food in the freezer and which can also be
used for heating and cooking, all you need to
do is take off the lid. For all other cases you
should put the food into containers that are
suitable for microwave use.
12. The liquid resulting from defrosting,
principally that from poultry, should be
discarded. In no event should such liquids be
allowed to come into contact with other
foods.
13. Do not forget that by using the defrosting
function you need to allow for standing time
until the food is completely defrosted.

Cooking with a microwave oven
Warning! Read the section “Microwave Safety”
before cooking with your microwave.
Follow these recommendations when cooking with
your microwave:
Before heating or cooking foods with peel
or skin (e.g. apples, tomatoes, potatoes,
sausages) prick them so that they do not
burst. Cut the food up before starting to
prepare it.
Before using a container or dish make
sure that it is suitable for microwave use
(see the section on types of ovenware).
When cooking food with very little moisture
(e.g. defrosting bread, making popcorn,
etc.) evaporation is very quick. The oven
then works as if it was empty and the food
may burn. The oven and the container
may be damaged in such a situation. You
should therefore set just the cooking time
necessary and you must keep a close eye
on the cooking process.
It is not possible to heat large quantities of
oil (frying) in the microwave.
Remove pre-cooked food from the
containers they come in since these are
not always heat resistant. Follow the food
manufacturer’s instructions.
If you have several containers, such as
cups, for example, set them out uniformly
on the turntable plate.
Do not close plastic bags with metal clips.
Use plastic clips instead. Prick the bags
several times so that the steam can
escape easily.
When heating or cooking foods, check that
they reach at least a temperature of
70°C.
During cooking, steam may form on the
oven door window and may start to drip.
This situation is normal and may be more
noticeable if the room temperature is low.
The oven’s safe working is not affected by
this. After you have finished cooking, clean
up the water coming from the
condensation
When heating liquids, use containers
with a wide opening, so that the steam
can evaporate easily.
Prepare the foods as per the instructions and
keep in mind the cooking times and power levels
indicated in the tables.
Keep in mind that the figures given are only
indicative and can vary depending on the initial
state, temperature, moisture and type of food. It is
advisable to adjust the times and power levels to
each situation. Depending on the exact
characteristics of the food you may need to
increase or shorten the cooking times or increase
or decrease the power levels.
Cooling with microwaves...
1. The greater the amount of food, the longer
the cooking time. Keep in mind that:
Double the quantity » double the time
Half the quantity » half the time
2. The lower the temperature, the longer the
cooking time.
3. Foods containing a lot of liquid heat up more
quickly.
4. Cooking will be more uniform if the food is
evenly distributed on the turntable. If you put
dense foods on the outside part of the plate
and less dense ones on the centre of the
plate, you can heat up different types of food
simultaneously.
5. You can open the oven door at any time.
When you do this the oven switches off
automatically. The microwave will only start
working again when you close the door and
press the start key.
6. Foods that are covered require less cooking
time and retain their characteristics better.
The lids used must let microwaves pass
through and have small holes that allow
steam to escape.

Cook covered over. Turn after half of
cooking time. You may wish to cover
up the small edges of the fish.
22
Cooking with the grill
For good results with the grill, use the grid iron
supplied with the oven.
Fit the grid iron in such a way that it doesn’t
come into contact with the metal surfaces of
the oven cavity since if it does there is a
danger of electric arcing which may damage
the oven.
IMPORTANT POINTS:
1. When the microwave grill is used for the first
time there will be some smoke and a smell
coming from the oils used during oven
manufacture.
2. The oven door window becomes very hot
when the grill is working. Keep children
away.
3. When the grill is operating, the cavity walls
and the grid iron become very hot. You
should use oven gloves.
4. If the grill is used for extended period of time
it is normal to find that the elements will
switch themselves off temporarily due to the
safety thermostat.
5. Important! When food is to be grilled or
cooked in containers you must check that
the container in question is suitable for
microwave use. See the section on types of
ovenware!
6. When the grill is used it is possible that some
splashes of fat may go onto the elements
and be burnt. This is a normal situation and
does not mean there is any kind of operating
fault.
7. After you have finished cooking, clean the
interior and the accessories so that cooking
remains do not become encrusted.

drop.
The times shown are merely indicative and can
vary as a function of the composition and quantity
of the food, as well as the final condition wished
for. Fish and meat taste great if, before grilling,
you brush them with vegetable oil, spices and
herbs and leave to marinate for a few hours. Only
add salt after grilling.
Sausages will not burst if you prick them with a
fork before grilling.
After half the grilling time has passed, check on
how the cooking is going and, if necessary, turn
the food over.
The grill is especially suitable for cooking thin
portions of meat and fish. Thin portions of meat
only need to be turned once, but thicker portions
should be turned several times.

Cooking with the Grill
Tables and suggestions – Microwave + Grill
The microwave + grill function is ideal for cooking
quickly and, at the same time, browning foods.
Furthermore, you can also grill and cook cheese
covered food. The microwave and the grill work
simultaneously. The microwave cooks and the grill

Before using a dish in the microwave oven make
sure that it is suitable for microwave use. Only use
dishes or containers that are suitable for
microwave use.
The dish to be used in the combined function
must be suitable for microwave and grill use. See
the section on types of ovenware!
Keep in mind that the figures given are merely
indicative and can vary as a function of the initial
state, temperature, moisture and type of food.
If the time is not enough to brown the food well,
put it under the grill for another 5 or 10 minutes.
Please follow the standing times and don’t forget
to turn the meat pieces.
Unless indicated to the contrary, use the turntable
plate for cooking.
The values given in the tables are valid when the
oven cavity is cold (it is not necessary to pre-heat
the oven).
25
What kind of ovenware can be used?
Microwave function
For the microwave function, keep in mind that
microwaves are reflected by metal surfaces.
Glass, china, clay, plastic, and paper let
microwaves pass.
For this reason, metal pans and dishes or
containers with metal parts or decorations
cannot be used in the microwave. Glass ware
and clay with metallic decoration or content
(e.g. lead crystal) cannot be used in microwave
ovens.
The ideal materials for use in microwave ovens
are glass, refractory china or clay, or heat
resistant plastic. Very thin, fragile glass or china
should only be used for short period of times (e.g.
heating).
Hot food transmits heat to the dishes which can
become very hot. You should, therefore, always
use an oven glove!
How to test ovenware you want to use
Put the item you want to use in the oven for 20
seconds at maximum microwave power. After that
time, if it is cold and just slightly warm, it is
suitable to use. However, if it heats up a lot or
causes electric arcing it is not suitable for
microwave use.
Grill function
In the case of the grill function, the ovenware must
be resistant to temperature of at least 300°C.
Plastic dishes are not suitable for use in the grill.
Microwave + grill function
In the microwave + grill function, the ovenware
used must be suitable for use in both the
microwave and the grill.
Aluminium containers and foil
Pre-cooked food in aluminium containers or in
aluminium foil can be put in the microwave if the
following aspects are respected:
Keep in mind the manufacturer’s
recommendations written on the
packaging.
The aluminium containers cannot be more
than 3 cm high or come in contact with the
cavity walls (minimum distance 3 cm).
Any aluminium lid or top must be removed.
Put the aluminium container directly on top
of the turntable plate. If you use the grid
iron, put the container on a china plate.
Never put the container directly on the grid
iron!
The cooking time is longer because the
microwaves only enter the food from the
top. If you have any doubts, it is best to
use only dishes suitable for microwave
use.
Aluminium foil can be used to reflect
microwaves during the defrosting process.
Delicate food, such as poultry or minced
meat, can be protected from excessive
heat by covering the respective
extremities/edges.
Important: aluminium foil cannot come
into contact with the cavity walls since this
may cause electrical arcing.
Lids
We recommend you use glass or plastic lids or
cling film since:
1. This will stop excessive evaporation (mainly
during very long cooking times);
2. The cooking times are shorter;
3. The food does not become dry;
4. The aroma is preserved.
The lid should have holes or openings so that no
pressure develops. Plastic bags must also be
opened. Baby feeding bottles or jars with baby
food and similar containers can only be heated
without their tops / lids otherwise they can burst.

Oven Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning is the only maintenance normally
required.
Warning! Your microwave oven should be
cleaned regularly, with all food remains being
removed. If the microwave is not kept clean its
surfaces may deteriorate, reducing the oven’s
working life and possibly resulting in a
dangerous situation.
Warning! Cleaning should be done with the
oven power switched off. Take the plug out of
the socket or switch off the oven’s power
circuit.
Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning
products, scourers that scratch surfaces or
sharp objects, since stains may appear.
Do not use high pressure or stream jet
cleaning appliances.
Front surface
Normally you just need to clean the oven with a
damp cloth. If it is very dirty, add a few drops of
dishwashing liquid to the cleaning water.
Afterwards, wipe the oven with a dry cloth.
In an oven with an aluminium front, use a glass
cleaning product and a soft cloth that does not
release any fibres or threads. Wipe from side to
side without exerting any pressure on the surface.
Immediately remove lime, fat, starch or egg white
stains. Corrosion can occur under these stains.
Do not let any water get inside the oven.
Oven interior
After each time the oven is used, clean the inside
walls with a damp cloth since this is the easiest
way to remove splashes or spots of food that may
have stuck to the inside.
To remove dirt that is harder to shift, use a non-
aggressive cleaning product. Do not use oven
sprays or other aggressive or abrasive
cleaning products.
Always keep the door and the oven front very
clean to ensure that the door opens and
closes properly.
Make sure water does not enter the microwave
ventilation holes.
Regularly take out the turntable plate and the
respective support and clean the cavity base,
especially after any liquid spillage.
Do not switch on the oven without the
turntable and the respective support being in
place.
If the oven cavity is very dirty, put a glass of water
on the turntable and switch on the microwave
oven for 2 or 3 minutes at maximum power. The
steam released will soften the dirt which can then
be cleaned easily using a soft cloth.
Unpleasant odours (e.g. after cooking fish) can be
eliminated easily. Add a few drops of lemon juice
or vinegar in a cup of water. Put a spoonful of
coffee in the cup to avoid the water boiling over.
Heat the water for 2 to 3 minutes at maximum
microwave power.
28
Oven Cleaning and Maintenance
Oven ceiling
If the oven ceiling is dirty, the grill can be lowered
to make cleaning easier.
To avoid the danger of burning, wait until the
grill is cold before lowering it.
Proceed as follows:
1. Turn the grill support by 180º (1).
2. Lower the grill gently (2). Do not use
excessive force as this may cause
damage.
3. After cleaning the ceiling, put the grill (2)
back in its place, carrying out the previous
operation.
IMPORTANT WARNING: The grill heating
element support (1) may fall when it is rotated. If
this happens, insert the grill heating element
support (1) into the slot in the ceiling of the cavity
and rotate it 90º to the grill heating element
support (2) position.
The mica cover (3) located in the ceiling must
always be kept clean. Any food remains that
collect on the mica cover can cause damage or
provoke sparks.
Do not use abrasive cleaning products or
sharp objects.
To avoid any risk, do not remove the mica
cover.
The glass lamp cover (4) is located on the oven
ceiling and can be removed easily for cleaning.
For this you just need to unscrew it and clean it
with water and dishwashing liquid.
Accessories
Clean the accessories after each use. If they are
very dirty, soak them first of all and then use a
brush and sponge. The accessories can be
washed in a dish washing machine.
Make sure that the turntable plate and the
respective support are always clean. Do not
switch on the oven unless the turntable and the
respective support are in place.
29
What should I do if the oven doesn’t work?
WARNING! Any type of repair must only be
done by a specialised technician. Any repair
done by a person not authorised by the
manufacturer is dangerous.
You do not need to contact Technical Assistance
to resolve the following questions:
The display is not showing! Check if:
- The time indication has been switched off
(see section on Basic Settings).
Nothing happens when I press the keys!
Check if:
- The Safety Block is active (see section on
Basic Settings).
The oven does not work! Check if:
- The plug is correctly fitted in the socket.
- The oven’s power is switched on.
- The door is completely closed. The door
should close with an audible click.
- There are any foreign bodies between the
door and the cavity front.
When the oven is operating I can hear some
strange noises! Check if:
- There is any electrical arcing inside the oven
caused by foreign metallic objects (see
section on type of ovenware).
- The ovenware is touching the oven walls.
- There are any loose items of cutlery or
cooking tools inside the oven.
The food doesn’t heat up or heats very
slowly! Check if:
- You have inadvertently used metal
ovenware.
- You have selected the correct operating
times and power level.
- The food you have put inside the oven is a
larger amount or colder than you usually put
in.
The food is too hot, dried out or burnt!
Check if you selected the correct operating
time and power level.
I hear some noises after the cooking
process is finished! This is not a problem.
The cooling fan keeps on working for some
time. When the temperature has dropped
sufficiently, the fan will switch itself off.
The oven switches on but the interior light
does not go on! If all the functions work
properly it is probable that the lamp has
blown. You can keep on using the oven.
Substitution of light bulb
To substitute the light bulb, proceed as follows:
- Disconnect the oven from the power supply.
Take the plug out of the socket or switch off
the oven’s power circuit.
- Unscrew and remove the glass light cover
(1).
- Remove the halogen light bulb (2). Warning!
The bulb may be very hot.
- Fit a new 12V / 10W halogen bulb. Warning!
Do not touch the light bulb surface
directly with your fingers because you
may damage the bulb. Follow the lamp
manufacturer’s instructions.
- Screw the glass light cover into place (1).
- Connect the oven again to the power
supply.
