Information for the user
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• 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.
• Before each use, ensure that any
receptacles and accessories are suitable for
use in your micro-wave oven (for example:
pyrex, porcelain, etc.)
• To avoid damaging your appliance, never
operate it while empty or without the
turntable.
• Do not interfere with the orifices on the
lock on the front of the appliance; this could
cause damage to your appliance that would
require a service call.
• Check the oven regularly when cooking or
heating food in disposable containers made
from plastic, paper or other flammable
materials to avoid the risk of fire.
• It is not recommended to use metallic
cookware, forks, spoons, knives or metal
staples or fasteners for defrosting bags.
However, occasionally you can defrost food
packaged in low-rise aluminium containers
(maximum 4cm) without the lid. However, the
reheating time will be slightly longer. In this
case, make sure that the container is placed
in the centre of the base of the oven; it must
never be placed less than 1 cm away the
metallic walls or the door of the appliance.
• For children, always:
- heat bottles without the teat, shake
the liquid and check its temperature on the
back on your hand before feeding the child.
- mix and check the temperature of
children’s food before eating in order to avoid
serious internal burns.
WWAARRNNIINNGG: Do not allow children to use the
micro-wave oven without supervision, unless
appropriate instructions have been given so
that the child can use the oven safely and
understands the dangers of incorrect
operation.
• It is recommended to cover food in most
cases; it will have more flavour and your
appliance will remain cleaner for longer.
However, before cooking or reheating liquids
in a bottle or sealed container, you must
remove the cap or lid to avoid the risk of
explosion.
• Never heat or cook eggs in the microwave
in their shells, on a dish or on a plate. They are
liable to explode even after the cooking has
finished and risk causing serious burns
and/or irreparable damage to your microwave
oven.
• Heating beverages in the micro-wave oven
can cause sudden and/or delayed splattering
of boiling liquid, so precautions must be
taken when handling their containers.
• In the case of small quantities (a sausage,
croissant, etc.) place a glass of water next to
the food.
• Excessive cooking times may dry out
foods and burn them. To avoid such
incidents, never use the same times
recommended for cooking in a traditional
oven.
• If you notice the appearance of smoke,
leave the door of the appliance shut, turn off
the power or disconnect the oven from the
power supply.
••
Warning
Keep this user guide with your appliance. If
the appliance is ever sold or transferred to
another person, ensure that the new owner
receives the user guide. Please become
familiar with these recommendations
before installing and using your oven. They
were written for your safety and the safety
of others.

- EC regulation no. 1935/2004 concerning materials and objects intended for contact with
food substances.
— This appliance is not intended for use by people (including children) with impaired physical,
sensorial or mental abilities, or people lacking in knowledge or experience, unless they receive
prior supervision or instructions on using the appliances through a person responsible for their
safety.
— Never use steam or high-pressure devices to clean the oven (requirement imposed by
electrical safety concerns).

Installing your appliance
FITTING
To do this:
1) Remove the rubber screw covers to access
the mounting holes.
2) Drill a Ø 2 mm hole in the cabinet panel to
avoid splitting the wood.
3) Attach the oven with the two screws.
4) Replace the rubber screw covers (they also
serve to absorb the shock caused by closing
the oven door).
(*) if the cabinet is open, its opening must be
70 mm (maximum).
Tip
To be certain that you have properly
installed your appliance, do not hesitate to
seek advice from a household appliance
specialist.
••
CHOICE OF LOCATION
The diagrams above determine the
dimensions of a cabinet that will be able to
hold your oven.
The oven can be installed under a work top or
in a column of cabinetry (open* or closed)
having the appropriate dimensions for built-in
installation (see above diagram).
Your oven has optimised air circulation that
allows it to achieve remarkable cooking and
cleaning results if the following guidelines are
followed:
• Centre the oven in the cabinet so as to
guarantee a minimum distance of 5 mm
between the appliance and the neighbouring
cabinet.
• The material or coating of the cabinet must
be heat-resistant.
• For increased stability, fix the oven in the
cabinet by means of 2 screws (B) through the
holes designed for this purpose on the lateral
mounts.

• AUTOMATIC MICRO-WAVE DEFROSTING
With your new micro-wave, say goodbye to
hours of waiting for your food to defrost! The
micro-wave is the freezer’s best ally, making it
possible to defrost food up to 10 times
quicker than at room temperature.
Press once on start button enter the cooking
program selection (fig.1).
Use the < or > buttons to scroll to the
Automatic Defrost function. (fig.2)
Press the SSTTAARRTTbutton to confirm your
selection and access the cooking time
setting.
-0.00 flashes
-Adjust the defrost time by pressingthe + or -
buttons.(fig.3)
Confirm your selection by pressing the
SSTTAARRTTbutton.
Your oven will start by counting down by
second.
Please note:
The function does not need power adjustment.
Tip:
Defrosting time depends on the type of appliance. It also depends on the shape, size, initial
temperature and quality of the food.
Be sure to remove the metallic tie from the defrosting bag when defrosting food directly in
the bag.
If there are any ice crystals on the food, remove them with a knife, otherwise the ice will act
as a screen and the food will take longer to defrost.
Defrost meat and fish by placing it on an upside-down saucer on a plate; this will allow any
juices to drain away which otherwise would cause the food to begin to cook if left in contact
with it.
In order to obtain even defrosting, as soon as possible separate poultry breasts or fish
fillets and break apart cubes of meat.
Turn over or stir food half-way through defrosting.
Leave the food to stand after defrosting. General guidelines: resting time = defrosting time.
Never refreeze food unless it has been cooked
