INSTALLATION
Leave sufficient space around the oven :
- 5 cm between the sides of the oven
and any walls or objects
- 14 cm above the oven
- 10 cm behind the oven.
LOCATION
BEFORE CONNECTION
• The oven must be set on a work surface at least 85 cm above floor level.
• Place the oven on a flat and horizontal surface, away from any source of heat or
steam. To ensure the stability of the microwave oven, the front left foot is
adjustable (5 positions). Turn it to raise or lower the appliance.
• Make sure that air may circulate freely around the oven.
• Allow nothing to obstruct the ventilation
louvers at the back of the appliance.
• Make sure the electrical plug will be accessible
after installation.
• Check whether your oven has suffered any damage during transport (deformed door or
door seal, etc.). If you see any signs of damage, contact your dealer before use.
• Verify the power voltage. If there is a PERMANENT undervoltage (200-210 volts), consult your
electrical installer.
• Your installation must be protected by a 13 Amp thermal fuse.
• It is mandatory to use a power point with a ground terminal, connected in accordance with
current safety regulations.
• In your electrical installation, provide a device that is accessible to the installer, capable of
separating the appliance from the mains power and whose contact opening is at least 3 mm
at all of the poles.
• Never operate the oven if the supply cord and/ or its plug are damaged. In case of damage,
call in a specialised technician trained by the manufacturer.

• Your appliance is designed exclusively for the domestic purposes of defrosting, heating or cooking
foods. The manufacturer bears no responsibility in the case of improper usage.
• Before use, make sure that the containers are appropriate for microwave usage (e.g.: heat resis-
tant glass, porcelain, etc.) and are non-metallic.
• To avoid deterioration of your microwave oven, never operate it without food or liquid in it or
without the turntable.
• Never tamper with the lock mechanism of your microwave oven; you could cause damage
requiring repair by an authorised technician.
• Be sure to watch closely when heating or cooking foods in disposable plastic or paper containers
or any other combustible material, due to fire hazard.
• It is not advisable to use metal recipients, forks, spoons, knives, metal ties or staples for deep-
freeze bags.
• It is advisable to use an oven glove to handle dishes.
• For baby food and children’s food, it is essential :
- to remove the teat before heating up baby bottles, shake the contents and test
the temperature on the back of your hand before feeding.
- to stir and verify the temperature of children’s foods before serving to avoid causing
serious internal burns.
• WARNING : Do not allow children to use the microwave oven without supervision unless they
have been thoroughly instructed in the proper use and the dangers of improper operation.
• It is advisable to cover food in most cases. It will be tastier and your oven will stay cleaner.
However, be sure to remove the cap or lid before cooking foods or heating liquids in a sealed
bottle or container, which could otherwise explode. You must not cover when using the grill, micro-
wave and grill or pizza functions.
• The heating or cooking of boiled, coddled eggs or fried eggs by microwave is prohibited. They
can burst and cause serious burns or irreparable damage to your oven.
• When heating liquids, the boiling point may be reached without the typical bubbles appearing
on the surface. To prevent liquids from boiling over and possible burns, wait 20 seconds before
removing the containers from the appliance or adding anything to the liquids, to avoid sudden
spurting of the liquid.
• For small amounts (one sausage, a single croissant, etc.), place a glass of water alongside the food
item.
• Time settings that are too long may dry out and burn the food. To avoid such incidents, never
use the same cooking times as those recommended for traditional ovens.
• If smoke appears, keep the oven door closed and disconnect the oven or turn it off.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

6
• THE TURNTABLE :
ensures equal cooking of food throughout with no need to intervene.
- It may be used as a cooking dish.
- Rotation is controlled by the drive shaft and the wheel support.
- The turntable rotates in both directions.
- If it does not turn, verify that all components are properly positioned.
•TURNTABLE OFF :
stops the turntable from revolving in order to use platters which require the entire oven
space. When stopped, remember to stir the contents or turn the dish midway through
the programme.
• THE WHEEL SUPPORT :
Do not try to rotate the roller ring manually, as you could damage the drive system.
If it does not turn smoothly, make sure that there is nothing in the well beneath the
turntable.

THE PIZZA FUNCTION
(only available on DME 113)
2 cooking methods :
• Without preheating - by using the Pizza function you can cook and brown most
frozen meals and fresh, dough-based dishes without preheating the Pizza dish. They
turn out as crispy as if cooked in a traditional oven.
• With preheating - the Pizza dish can be preheated using the Pizza key for a maxi-
mum of 2 minutes. Preheating is recommended to cook or brown small pieces of
meat or fish and some dough-based, frozen and take-away dishes.
•Take foods out of their metallic or plastic packaging before cooking or reheating
them with the Pizza function.
•It is advisable to programme shorter cooking times and extend if necessary.
•All foods with a skin or wrapping, such as potatoes and sausages, must be pierced
before cooking.
•Make sure pieces of meat are completely thawed out and dried off before searing
with the Pizza function.
•Keep an eye on the food’s coloring, just as you would with a traditional oven.
•Protect your hands when taking out the dish because it can be extremely hot.
•Do not serve stuffed foods (apple pie for example) too quickly because they can be
warm on the surface and the filling is extremely hot.
•Cooking or reheating of eggs with the Pizza function is prohibited.
•If you wish to cook several dishes consecutively with the Pizza function, allow the
oven to cool 10 minutes between dishes for better browning.
Recommendations :
With the Pizza function and Pizza dish you can save time and energy cooking your
favourite dishes which you require to be crispy, tasty and golden brown as if cooked in
a traditional oven, e.g. pizza and sausages.
The Pizza function uses the microwave and grilling functions simultaneously. The Pizza
dish must always be used with this function. The dish features a special coating that
absorbs microwaves through its base and therefore radiates heat from below the food to
cook it and reheat it, giving the base of the food the required colour and crispness while
the grill browns the top, making it ideal for pizza, sausages, etc.

THE PIZZA FUNCTION
Example : to cook a frozen pizza (350 g)
Place the frozen pizza directly on the Pizza dish, place the Pizza dish on the middle of
the turntable.
①①Press the MICROWAVE + GRILL / PIZZA key four times.
is displayed.
②②Set the programme time with the selector knob,
ex. six minutes :

Care of the Pizza dish
•The inside of the dish is covered with a non-stick coating,
so it is not necessary to grease it before use.
•Do not cut foods directly in the Pizza dish as this damages
the non-stick coating.
•The Pizza dish is dishwasher-safe.
•Use a sponge, hot water and washing up liquid
to wash the dish. Do not use a metallic sponge
or scouring powder.
Recommendations
•Do not place the Pizza dish on the rack; this could
cause irremediable damage to your oven.
•Do not place the Pizza dish in a traditional oven, on
gas, electric or other stoves or on any very hot surface.
•Do not leave any utensils in a hot Pizza dish as the
high temperature may damage them.
