The microwaves used for cooking are electro-
magnetic waves. They are present naturally in
the environment in the form of radio waves, or
light or infrared rays.
Their frequency is in the 2,450 MHz range.
Their properties:
- They are reflected by metal.
- They travel through all other materials.
- They absorb water, fat and sugar
molecules.
When food is exposed to microwaves, the
molecules are shaken rapidly, generating heat.
The microwaves penetrate the food up to a
depth of around 2.5 cm. If food items are thicker,
they will be cooked through to the centre by
heat conduction, as in traditional cooking.
It is important to know that microwaves trigger a
simple thermal reaction within the food and that
they are not harmful.
The packaging for your appliance is made from
recyclable materials. Recycle them and help to
protect the environment by disposing of them in
the council receptacles provided for this
purpose.
Your appliance also contains various
recyclable materials. It is therefore
marked with this logo to inform you
that worn-out appliances should not
be disposed of with other waste.
Appliance recycling organised by
your manufacturer will thus be carried out in
optimum conditions, in accordance with
European directive 2002/96/EC on waste
electrical and electronic equipment. Please
contact your local council or your dealer for
information on the worn-out appliance
collection points nearest to your home. We
thank you for your help in protecting the
environment.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS -
READ CAREFULLY AND RETAIN FOR
FUTURE USE.
If the appliance is ever sold or transferred to
another person, ensure that the new owner
receives this user guide. Please read these
guidelines before installing and using your
appliance. They were written for your safety and
the safety of others.
safety recommendations
Your appliance is designed for standard
household use for cooking, reheating and
defrosting foods. The manufacturer declines any
responsibility in the case of inappropriate use of
the appliance.
This appliance is not intended for use by
individuals (including children) with impaired
physical, sensorial or mental abilities, or persons
lacking in knowledge or experience, unless they
receive prior supervision or instructions on using
the appliance from a person responsible for their
safety.
Please make sure children do not play with the
appliance.
WARNING: Only allow children to use the oven
without supervision, if adequate instructions have
been given, so that the child is able to use the
oven safely and understands the dangers of
incorrect use.
WARNING: Liquids and other foods should not be
heated in sealed containers because they might
explode.
Use only utensils suitable for use in microwave
ovens.
When heating food items in plastic or paper
containers, keep an eye on the oven contents,
since there is a risk of ignition.
WARNING: If the door or door seal is damaged,
the oven should not be used until it has been
repaired by a qualified person.
WARNING: It is dangerous for anyone other than
a qualified person to perform maintenance or
repairs that require the removal of the cover
providing protection against exposure to
microwave energy.
WARNING: The accessible parts of the appliance
may become hot during use. Be careful not to
touch the heating elements inside the oven. It is
recommended that you keep young children at a
safe distance. If the appliance is being used in
combination mode, it is recommended that
children only use the oven under adult supervision
due to the temperatures involved.
If smoke appears, stop or unplug the oven and
leave the door closed to smother any flames that
might appear.
Heating eggs in their shells or whole hardboiled
eggs in a microwave oven is not recommended, as
they may explode, even after cooking has ended.
Heating beverages in a microwave oven can
cause sudden and/or delayed splashing of boiling
liquid, so precautions must be taken when
handling containers.
The contents of baby bottles and baby food jars
should be shaken or stirred and their temperature
checked before consumption, to avoid burns.
Never heat a baby bottle with the teat on (risk of
explosion). The use of metal cookware, forks,
spoons, knives or metal staples or fasteners on
defrosting bags is not recommended.
Always use oven mitts to remove dishes from the
oven. Some dishes absorb the heat from foods and
can therefore become very hot.
If cooking small quantities of food (a sausage,
croissant, etc.), place a glass of water next to the
food.
Excessive cooking times may dry out foods and
burn them. To prevent this happening, never use
the same times as recommended for cooking in a
traditional oven. To avoid damaging your
appliance, never operate it while empty or without
the turntable. Do not leave any accessories in your
oven when it is switched off.

Chilled
ready-meals
This function is used for reheating chilled, cooked dishes (lasagne, dauphinois potatoes,
shepherd’s pie, fish pie, etc.) between 100 g and 1,000 g.
Dishes are reheated on the microwave setting.
Remove the product from its packaging and place in a suitably-sized, heat-resistant,
microwave safe dish. For better results, cover the microwave-safe dish with microwave
food wrap or an inverted plate.
Place the dish on the turntable. Wait two minutes before serving to allow the heat to
distribute evenly.
Fresh meat
This function is used for joints weighing between 500 g and 2,000 g.
Cooking is done on the combined microwave oven + circulating heat setting.
Use a microwave-proof, heat-resistant dish, preferably made of terracotta (fewer splashes
than with a glass dish).
If possible, cook roasts without barding fat to prevent smoke and fat splashes. You will get
the best results with roasts that are not too thick.
Take the meat out of the refrigerator and leave it at room temperature for 1 hour before
putting it in the oven. Place the dish on the shelf at level 2.
After cooking, wrap the roast in aluminium foil and leave it to rest for 10 minutes. This will
help relax the meat fibres and the roast will be more succulent.
Fresh vegetables
This function is used for cooking vegetables weighing between 100g and 1,000g.
The vegetables are cooked on the microwave setting.
Choose fresh vegetables and, before cooking, add:
- up to 200 g: 2 tablespoons of water
- up to 500 g: 0.5 dl water
- up to 1,000 g: 1 dl water
Use a dish suitable for the volume of vegetables and cover it (except when cooking
mushrooms). Place the dish on the glass turntable.
Half way through the automatic defrost programme for food weighing more than 350 g, a
beep sounds to remind you that you need to turn the food over for best results and “
turn
“ is
displayed.
After cooking, wait a few minutes before serving the vegetables.
Fresh fish
This function is used for fish weighing between 100 g and 1,000 g.
Cooking is done on the microwave setting.
Use a microwave-proof, heat-resistant dish, preferably made of terracotta (fewer splashes
than with a glass dish).

Defrosting frozen vegetables in your microwave oven saves you a great deal of time. To defrost food,
use the AUTOMATIC DEFROST function or the MICROWAVE function with the power set to 200W.
Tips:
Small pieces of meat or fish can be cooked straight after defrosting. Larger pieces such as meat
joints or whole fish will still be slightly frozen after the defrost programme.
We recommend that you let the food stand for a period of time at least equal to the defrosting time
to ensure an even temperature.
Food covered with ice crystals will take longer to defrost. In this case, you should increase the
defrosting time.
Recommendations:
The defrosting time depends on the type of oven. It also depends on the shape, size, starting
temperature and quality of the food.
In most cases, food must be removed from its packaging. Remember to remove any metal staples
from the packaging.
Halfway through defrosting, the pieces of food should be turned over, stirred and separated if they
were frozen together.
If you are defrosting large pieces of meat or fish that prevent rotation of the turntable, use the
turntable stop function. In this case, turn the food regularly.
Defrost meat or fish by putting it on an upside-down saucer on top of a plate to let the juices run. If
they stay in contact with the food, they will overheat.
Never refreeze food before cooking it.
Defrost programme time:
The defrost programme time is calculated for food frozen at -18 °C. This gives you an indication of
the time needed for defrosting but the actual time may vary depending on the thickness, shape, size
and packaging of the food.

This function is used for cooking and browning food such as gratins or meat.
It may be used before or after cooking, depending on the recipe.
Note:
This appliance is designed to cook with the door closed.
The accessible areas of the oven may become hot when the grill is used.
Children should be kept at a safe distance.
When using the grill, you must protect your hands when handling dishes and use cookware that is
suitable for use at high temperatures, such as heat-resistant glass or porcelain.
There are 2 grill settings: medium or high grill.
As a general rule, we recommend that you use the high grill for meat and fish and the medium grill for
gratins and browning more delicate dishes. Position the shelf according to the height of the dish or
the food.

The cooking time can be set from 0 to 9 hours 59 minutes.
It is better to set the minimum time and then increase it, if necessary. Check the colour of the
food.
Always position the accessories (the shelf or the enamel dish) on level 1 or 2 as this will opti-
mise heat distribution and cooking quality.
Use heat-resistant cookware.
Protect your hands when handling dishes as they may be very hot.
If you want to defrost food after using the fan oven function, we recommend that you let the
oven cool down for 10 minutes ; this will give you better results.
To cook 2 apple pies at the same time: 60-90 minutes at 200°C. We suggest that you put the first
pie in the enamel dish and the second in a pie dish placed on the shelf at level 3. Switch the

Use a microwave-proof, heat-resistant dish, preferably made of terracotta (less splashing than with a glass
dish).
If possible, cook roasts without barding fat to prevent smoke and fat splashes.
After cooking, season the joint, wrap it in aluminium foil and leave it for 10 minutes. This will help relax the
meat fibres and the roast will be more succulent.

We recommend that you clean the oven
regularly and remove any deposits of food
inside and outside of the appliance. Use a damp
sponge and a little soap. If the appliance is not
cleaned regularly, its surface could become
damaged, permanently affecting the appliance’s
lifespan and possibly causing a safety hazard. If
the door or door seal are damaged, the oven
should not be used until it has been repaired by
a qualified person.
Do not clean the appliance with a steam
cleaner.
The use of abrasive products, alcohol or
thinners is not recommended as they are likely
to damage the appliance.
Do not use abrasive maintenance products or
hard metal scrapers to clean the oven door as
they may scratch the surface or break the glass.
If the oven smells bad or is dirty, boil a cup of
water with lemon juice for 2 minutes and clean
the walls with a small amount of washing up
liquid.
To clean the top of the cavity, remove the grill
element (Fig. 1).
Unhook the grill element by pushing on the pin in
the top left (Fig. 2).
The turntable can be removed for easy cleaning.
To remove it, pick it up using the access zones
provided for this purpose. If you take out the
support with the drive spindle, make sure you do
not let water get into the motor spindle orifice.
Remember to put back the support, the support
wheels and the turntable.
