Before beginning to use this oven, read this important information to
obtain the best possible result.
1) This oven has been designed to thaw, heat up and cook foods at home. It must not be used for
other purposes and must not be altered or tampered with in any way.
2) Before connecting this oven to your electrical system, check to be certain
that the door closes tightly. Also check to see that the metal frame is not
warped and that the hinges and hooks have not loosened. In the event
that these parts have been damaged, the microwave oven cannot be
used until a qualified technician (trained by the manufacturer or by its
Customer Service) has made the necessary repairs.
3) Do not try to make the oven operate while the door is open by tampering
with the safety devices.
4) Do not operate this oven if objects of any type whatsoever get caught
between the front of the oven and the oven door. Also keep the inside of
the door (E) completely clean by using a damp cloth and non-abrasive
detergent. Do not let dirt or food residue build up between the front of
the oven and the oven door.
5) Do not operate the oven if its electrical power cable or plug are damaged
(because there is the danger of electric shocks).
6) Adjustments, repairs and replacement of the power cable must be carried out
only by technicians trained by the manufacturer or by one of the latter’ s
Technical Service Centres. Repair work performed by non-professional or
unqualified individuals can be inherently dangerous.
7) If you should see smoke coming out of the oven, DO NOT OPEN THE
OVEN DOOR. Instead, immediately turn the oven off or pull the plug from
its electric socket.
8) This oven must be used only by adults. Never allow small children to
approach the oven when it is operating (because they may bur n
themselves).
9) When cooking “Only MICROWAVE” and “COMBINED WITH MICROWAVE”, you absolutely
must not pre-heat the oven (without foodstuffs in it) and you must not operate it when it is
empty, because you might cause sparking.
10)Never place the turntable in water after it has been heated for a long time. The high thermal
shock resulting would break the turntable.
11)Before using this oven, check to be certain that the utensils and containers chosen are suitable for
microwave oven use (see the section on “Glassware and Similar Items”).
12) Look at the oven from time to time when food is heated or cooked in disposable containers of
plastic, paper or other combustible material. Also, small portion of food may become combustible
if over heated.

Connect this equipment only to electrical outlets
having a capacity of at least 13A. Also check to
be certain that the circuit breaker in your home
has a minimum capacity of 13A so as to prevent
it from switching off while your oven is working.
Before using this oven, check to make certain
that the electrical network is the same as that
indicated on the equipment’s data plate and that
the electrical outlet is connected to an efficient
grounding (earth) terminal. The manufacturer
shall not be responsible in any manner
whatsoever for harm or damage caused by
failure to observe this norm.

13) Do not use recycled kitchen paper as it way contain metal
particles that could cause it to ignite.
14)Do not cook eggs still in their shell . The pressure which might form
inside the shell would make the egg itself explode (even after it has
already been cooked). Never heat up eggs that have already been
cooked (unless such eggs are scrambled).
15)Always pierce sealed container or loosen the lid before heating or cooking food.
Otherwise the pressure inside those containers might build up and cause an explosion,
even after the food itself has been cooked.
16)ALWAYS check the temperature of heated infant food before serving it so as to prevent
burning. Always mix or shake the food to distribute the heat.
17)When heating liquids (water, coffee, milk, etc.), you may find that, because of delayed
boiling, the liquid in question may suddenly boil up and spill out when removing the
container scalding to your hand in the process. To prevent such a situation, you must
place a heat-resistant plastic spoon or a glass stirrer in the container before starting to
heat that liquid.
18)Do not heat up liquor having a high alcohol content or large amounts of oil (because overheating
could cause such substances to burst into flame).
19)Refer to the charts in this instruction manual for the correct heating and cooking times.

1) After having taken the oven out of its packing case, remove the protective section containing the
turntable (G) and its support (H). Make sure that the turntable spindle (D) is properly inserted in
its housing in the oven, lined up with the middle of the turntable.
2) Wipe the inside clean with a soft, damp cloth.
3) Check to make certain that this equipment has not been damaged in transport and check
especially to see if the door opens and closes correctly.
4) Set the oven on a flat, steady surface at least 85 cm. above the floor and out of the reach of
small children, because when the oven is operating its door can get very hot.
5) After having placed the oven on its work level, make sur e
that there is still a free space of
at least 5 cm. between the
oven’s surfaces and the side
as well as back walls, and
a free space of at least 20
cm. above the oven (see
Fig. 1).
6) Do not block the air
intake. In particular, do
not set anything atop
the oven and check to be
certain that the air outlet slots (located above, under and in the
back of the oven) are ALWAYS FREE from obstruction (see Figs.
2 and 3).
7) Place the support unit (H) in the middle of the circular housing
and set the turntable (G) atop the support. The spindle (D)
must match up perfectly with its housing in the middle of the
turntable.
8) When you turn the oven on for the first time, there may be an odour of “newness” and a bit
of smoke for about ten minutes. This is completely normal, and it is caused by substances used
to protect the heating elements.

In some models the maximum power yielded in WATTS, is also indicated in
the symbol on the side, shown on the door.
(ONLY FOR U.K.) The letter indicates the heating categor y to which your
oven belongs: some chilled food pre-cooked frozen or chilled give heating
instructions corresponding to the various categories. Follow those
instructions related to the category indicated for your oven.
In this oven the maximum power yielded by the microwaves is 850W. This value is shown on the data
plate placed on the back of the appliance, under the heading MICRO OUTPUT.
The levels of intermediate power available are shown on the following page. This information will be
useful for you to consult the prescription pads for microwaves currently on sale.
