COOLING FAN SYSTEM
The appliance is equipped with a cooling system which
comes into operation as soon as a cooking function starts.
Operation of the fans generates a normal air ow which
comes out above the door and may continue for a short
time even after the appliance is switched off, this is
perfectly normal.
INSIDE LIGHT
The appliance light comes on:
When the oven door is opened in stand-by status.
If the oven door is left open, the oven light will
automatically shut-off after 10 minutes.
COOKING WITH MICROWAVE
Follow these recommendations when cooking with
microwave:
Before heating or cooking foods with peel or skin (e.g.
apples, tomatoes, potatoes, sausages) peel 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
cookware).
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 appliance and the container may
be damaged in such situation. You should therefore set
just the cooking time necessary and you should keep a
close eye on the cooking process.
It is not possible to heat with much oil (frying) in the
microwave.
If you have several containers, such as cups, for example,
set them out uniformly on the turntable plate.
Do not seal plastic bags with metal clips. Use plastic clips
instead. Prick several holes in the bags so the steam can
escape.
Check that they reach at least a temperature of 70°C
When heating or cooking foods.
Steam might form on the oven door window during
cooking and may start to drip. This situation is normal and
may be more noticeable if the room temperature is low.
The process of cooking is not affected by this. After you
have nished 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 gures given are only indicative
and can vary depending on the initial state, temperature,
moisture and type of food. It is depending on the initial
state, temperature, moisture and different types of food.
It is advisable to adjust the times and power levels to

10
DAILY OPERATION OF YOUR OVEN
AM35SS
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.
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
The lower the cooking power selected, the longer the
cooking time.
Foods containing a lot of liquid heat up more quickly.
Cooking will be more uniform if the food is evenly
distributed on the turntable. If you put dense foods on
the outer part of the plate and less dense ones on the
centre of the plate, you can heat up different types of food
simultaneously.
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.
It takes less time if we put a cover over food, but the
cover should have vents to allow steam to escape and
prevent an extreme build up of pressure.

DEFROSTING WITH MICROWAVES
General instructions for defrosting
When defrosting, use only dishes that are appropriate for
microwaves.
The defrost function by weight and the tables refer to the
defrosting of raw food.
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.
Distribute the food well. You can use aluminium foil on
delicate food.
IMPORTANT
The aluminium foil should not come into contact with the
oven inner cavity of the oven as this may cause electrical
arcing.
Thick portions of food should be turned over several times
in the process of baking.
Distribute the frozen food as evenly as possible since
narrow and thick portions defrost more quickly than the
thicker and broader parts.
Fat-rich foods such as butter, cheese and cream should
not be completely defrosted. If they are kept at room
temperature thy will be ready to be served in a few
minutes. With ultra-frozen cream, if you nd small pieces
of ice in it, you should mix these in before serving.
Place poultry on an upturned plate so that the meat juices

11
DAILY OPERATION OF YOUR OVEN
AM35SS
can run off more easily.
Bread should be wrapped in a napkin so that it does not
become too dry.
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.
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.
Do not forget that by using the defrosting function you
need to allow for standing time until the food is completely
defrosted.
You should turn food over once the microwave alarms in
the process of defrosting, with ‘turn’ display on DSP2.
Please refer to the following table for different temperature of various food.

COOKING WITH THE GRILL
For a better baking, use the rack supplied. Insert the rack
in the way that it does not come into contact with the
metal surface of the oven cavity in case any danger of
electric arcing which may damage the oven.
NOTE!
There will be some smoke and smell when the grill is
used for the rst time. That is because of oil left from the
manufacture process.
The glass of oven door becomes very hot when the oven is
working. Keep children away.
When the grill is used for extended period of time, it is
normal to nd that the elements will switch themselves off
temporarily due to the safety thermostat.
Important: When food is to be grilled or cooked in
containers you should check that the container is suitable
for microwave use. See the section on types of cookware!
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
operation fault.
After you have nished cooking, clean the interior and
the accessories so that cooking remains do not become
encrusted.

PIZZA FUNCTION
It is not necessary to pre-heat the browning plate to cook
pizzas.
Place the pizza directly on the browning plate.
Place the browning plate on the centre of the glass
turntable in the microwave oven.
WARNING!
The cavity wall and the browning plate become very hot.
Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements,
cavity wall or the browning plate. The usage of oven
gloves is strongly recommended to avoid burns.
WHAT KIND OF COOKWARE CAN BE USED?
MICROWAVE FUNCTION
For the microwave function, notice that glass, china,
clay, plastic, and paper can be used as container. Metal
pans, dishes or containers with metal parts or decorations
cannot be used in the microwave. Glassware and clay with
metallic decoration or content (e.g. lead crystal) cannot be
used for microwave oven.
The ideal material for microwave oven is glass, refractory
china or clay, or heat resistant plastic. Very thin, fragile
glass or china should only be used for short period of time
(e.g. reheating).
Always wear oven gloves when handling containers
holding cooked food.
To test cookware, put the item in the oven for 20 seconds
at maximum microwave power, after 20 seconds, take
the cookware out immediately, it is suitable to use if it

AM35SS
is cold or just slightly warm. However, it is not suitable
for microwave oven if it heats up a lot or causes electric
arcing.
GRILLING
In the case of the grill function, the cookware should be
resistant to temperature of at least 300 °C. Plastic dishes
are not suitable for the grill function.
COMBINATION FUNCTIONS
In the combination functions (microwave + conventional
heating elements), the cookware used should be suitable
for microwave and 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.
If the manufacturers instructions state the container is
suitable for microwave cooking.
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 should be
removed.
The cooking time is longer because the microwaves only
permeate into food from the top. If you have any doubts,
it is best to use only dishes suitable for microwave use.
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 lm:
1. In case of excessive evaporation (mainly during very
long cooking times)
2. Cooking time is shorter
3. The aroma is preserved
The lid should have holes or openings so that steam can
escape. Plastic bags should be opened. Baby feeding
bottles or jars with baby food and similar containers can
only be heated without tops/lids on otherwise they may
burst.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
AM35SS
WARNING
Always switch off the electricity supply before
performing maintenance work. In the event of a
fault, contact customer services.
CAUTION
Do not use hot water, dilutents, petrol, alcohol, kerosene,
washing powder, cleanser, alkaline detergent, acid,
chemical cloth, etc. for cleaning so as not to damage the
enamel coating and plastic. The appliance must not be
cleaned directly with water as this could cause rusting or
render the insulation less efcient.
The appliance should be cleaned after use.
Wipe the inner and outer surface of the appliance and its
accessories with a wet cloth.
The door frame and seal and adjoining parts must be
cleaned carefully with a damp cloth when dirty.
Regularly check the power plug and power cord for
damage. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualied persons in order to avoid a danger or injury.
For indoor use only.
WARNING!
Never use a steam cleaner to clean the inside of the oven.
WARNING!
The microwave oven should be cleaned regularly, with all
food remains being removed. The surface of microwave
may deteriorate if it is not clean. That may reduce the
oven‟s working life and possibly result in a dangerous
situation.
HOW TO KEEP YOUR MICROWAVE IN
GOOD CONDITION
CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL
To keep stainless steel in a good condition, it should be
cleaned regularly.
DAILY CLEANING ROUTINE
When cleaning and caring for stainless steel surfaces,
always use only specic products which do not contain
abrasives or chlorine-based acids.
Instructions for use: Pour the product onto a damp cloth
and wipe over the surface, then rinse thoroughly and dry
with a soft cloth or chamois leather.
FOOD STAINS OR SPILLS
Never use metal scouring pads or sharp scrapers which
may damage the surface of the oven.
Use ordinary non-abrasive products with the aid of
wooden or plastic utensils if necessary. Rinse thoroughly
and dry with a soft cloth or chamois leather.
CLEANING THE OVEN CAVITY
Cleaning is the only maintenance normally required. Every
time after cooking, clean the inner cavity with a damp
cloth since this is an easier way to remove splashes or
spots that may stick to the cavity.
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 permeate into the microwave
ventilation holes.
Regularly take out the turntable plate and the respective
support and clean the cavity base, especially after any
liquid spillage.
MICROWAVE SHOULD NOT WORK WITHOUT
TURNTABLE
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 sh) can
be eliminated easily. Put a few drops of lemon juice in a
cup with water. Put a spoonful of coffee in the cup to avoid
the water boiling over. Heat the water for 2 to 3 minutes.
CLEANING THE CAVITY CEILING
If the oven ceiling is dirty, to avoid the danger of burning ,
wait until the grill is cold before lowering it.
Do not use abrasive cleaning products or sharp objects.
To avoid any risk, do not remove the mica cover.
The glass lamp cover 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.
RINSE OF DOOR SEAL AND FRONT PANEL
Please rinse in time if there are residues left in door seal
or on front panel. Do not use rough cleaning tools like
hard brush, coarse cloth, wire netting, knife or any other
sharp tools, using those sharp tools may scratch door seal
or the surface of the front panel. Please use non-abrasive
detergent. You can use wooden or plastic cleaning tools if
it is necessary.
