Installation instructions
Before installation
Check that the input voltage indicated on the
characteristics plate is the same as the voltage of
the power outlet you are going to use.
Open the oven door and take out all the
accessories and remove the packing material,
including the white polystyrene part that holds the
turntable plate.
Do not remove the mica cover on the ceiling of the
interior! This cover stops fat and pieces of food
damaging the microwave generator.
Warning! The front surface of the oven may be
wrapped with a protective film. Before using the
oven for the first time, carefully remove this film,
starting on the inside.
Make sure that the oven is not damaged in any
way. Check that the oven door closes correctly and
that the interior of the door and the front of the oven
opening are not damaged. If you find any damage
contact the Technical Assistance Service.
DO NOT USE THE OVEN if the power cable or the
plug are damaged, if the oven does not function
correctly or if it has been damaged or dropped.
Contact the Technical Assistance Service.
Put the oven on a flat and stable surface. The oven
must not be put close to any sources of heat, radios
or televisions.
During installation, make sure that the power
cable does not come into contact with any
moisture or objects with sharp edges behind the
oven. High temperatures can damage the cable.
Warning: after the oven is installed you must
make sure you can access the isolating switch.
Electrical Installation
Electrical installation must be performed by an
electrician qualified in accordance with the
legislation in force.
Before connecting the microwave oven to the
electric mains, check that the voltage and frequency
of the mains matches that which is shown on the
rating plate located in the cavity front, and on the
guarantee certificate, which should be kept together
with this manual.
The electric connection is made via an omnipolar
switch, which is suitable for the intensity to be
tolerated and which has a minimum gap of 3mm
between its contacts, to ensure disconnection in
case of emergency or when cleaning the microwave.
If a plug is used for the electric connection then it
must be accessible after installation.
The connection should include correct earthing, in
compliance with current norms. WARNING: THE
OVEN MUST BE EARTHED.
If the flexible supply cable fitted to the microwave
ever needs to be changed, it should be replaced by
an official After Sales Service, because it requires
special tools.
The manufacturer and retailers do not accept
responsibility for any damage that may be caused
to people, animals or property if these installation
instructions are not observed.
After installation
The oven only functions when the door is closed
correctly.
After the first use, clean the inside of the oven and
the accessories, following the cleaning instructions
given in the section “Oven cleaning and
maintenance”.
Fit the Turntable support (1) in the centre of the
oven cavity and put the Turntable ring (2) and the
Turntable plate (3) on top, making sure they slot in.
Whenever you use the microwave, the turntable
plate and the respective accessories must be inside
and correctly fitted. The turntable plate can rotate
in both directions.
During installation, follow the instructions supplied separately.

Microwave safety
•Warning! Never leave the oven unwatched,
especially when using paper, plastic or other
combustible materials. These materials can
char and may fire. FIRE RISK!
•Warning! If you see smoke or fire, keep the
door closed in order to smother the flames.
Switch off the oven and take the plug out of
the socket or cut off the oven power supply.
•Warning! Do not heat pure alcohol or
alcoholic drinks in the microwave. FIRE
RISK!
•Warning! Do not heat liquids or other foods
in closed containers since these may
explode readily.
•Warning! Children should only be able to
use the oven without adult supervision if
they have been given instructions on how to
use the oven safely and on how to identify
the dangers of badly using the oven.
•Warning! If the oven has a combined
function mode (microwave with other means
of heating), children should not be allowed to
use the oven without adult supervision on
account of the high temperatures generated.
•Warning! The oven cannot be used if:
- The door is not closed correctly;
- The door hinges are damaged;
- The surfaces of the contact between the door
and the oven front are damaged;
- The door window glass is damaged;
- There is frequent electrical arcing inside the
oven even though there is no metal object
inside.
•The oven can only be used again after it
has been repaired by a Technical
Assistance Service technician.
Beware!
•Never heat baby foods or drinks in
bottles or jars with the teats or lids on
them. After heating the food mix or shake
well so that the heat is spread evenly.
Check the food temperature before
feeding this to the child. DANGER OF
BURNING!
•To avoid food overheating or burning it is
very important not to select long time
periods or power levels that are too high
when heating small quantities of food. For
example, a bread roll can burn after 3
minutes if the power selected is too high.
•For toasting, use just the grilling function and
watch the oven all the time. It you use a
combined function to toast bread it will catch
fire in a very short time.
•Make sure you never catch the power cables
of other electrical appliances in the hot door
or the oven. The cable insulation may melt.
Danger of short-circuiting!
Take care when heating liquids!
When liquids (water, coffee, tea, milk, etc.) are
nearly at boiling point inside the oven and are
taken out suddenly, they may spurt out of their
containers. DANGER OF INJURIES AND
BURNS!
To avoid that type of situation when heating
liquids, put a teaspoon or glass rod inside the
container.

Microwave safety
This oven is exclusively for domestic use!
Use the oven only for preparing meals.
Avoid damaging the oven or other dangerous
situations by following these instructions:
•Do not switch on the oven without the
turntable support, the turntable ring and
the respective plate being in place.
•Never switch on the microwave when it is
empty. If there is no food inside there may
be an electrical overcharge and the oven
could be damaged. RISK OF DAMAGE!
•For carrying out oven programming tests
put a glass of water inside the oven. The
water will absorb the microwaves and the
oven will not be damaged.
•Do not cover or obstruct the ventilation
openings.
•Use only dishes suitable for microwaves.
Before using dishes and containers in the
microwave, check that these are suitable
(see the section on types of dishes).
•Never remove the mica cover on the
ceiling of the oven interior! This cover
stops fat and pieces of food damaging the
microwave generator.
•Do not keep any inflammable object inside
the oven as it may burn if the oven is
switched on.
•Do not use the oven as a pantry.
•Eggs with their shells and whole boiled
eggs must not be heated in microwave
ovens because they may explode.
•Do not use the oven for frying as it is
impossible to control the temperature of oil
heated by microwaves.
•To avoid being burnt, always use oven
gloves for handling dishes and containers
and touching the oven.
•Do not lean or sit on the open oven door.
This may damage the oven, especially in the
hinge zone. The door can bear a maximum
weight of 8 kg.
•The turntable and the grills can bear a
maximum load of 8 kg. To avoid damaging
the oven, do not exceed this load.
Cleaning:
•Warning! Your microwave oven must be
cleaned regularly. All food remains must be
removed (see section on Oven Cleaning). If
the microwave oven is not kept clean its
surface may deteriorate and this may
shorten the oven’s working life and could
even result in a dangerous situation.
•The door contact surfaces (the front of the
cavity and the inside part of the doors) must
be kept very clean in order to ensure the
oven functions correctly.
•Please follow the instructions regarding
cleaning in the section “Oven Cleaning and
Maintenance”.
Repairs:
•Warning – Microwaves! The outer
protection of the oven must not be
removed. It is dangerous for anyone not
authorised by the manufacturer to carry out
any kind of repair or maintenance work.
•If the power cable is damaged it should be
substituted by the manufacturer, authorised
agents or technicians qualified for this task
in order to avoid dangerous situations.
Furthermore, special tools are required for
this task.
•Repair and maintenance work, especially of
current carrying parts, can only be carried
out by technicians authorised by the
manufacturer.

The advantages of microwaves
In conventional ovens, heat radiated by electrical
elements or gas burners slowly penetrates the
food from outside to inside. On account of this
there is a major amount of energy is wasted
heating the air, the oven components and the food
containers.
In a microwave oven, heat is generated by the
food itself and the heat travels from inside to
outside. No heat is lost to the air, the walls of the
oven cavity or the dishes and containers (if these
are suitable for use in microwave oven), in other
words, only the food is heated.
Microwave ovens have the following advantages:
1. Shorter cooking times; in general these are up
to 3/4 less than the time required for
conventional cooking.
2. Ultra-fast food defrosting, thus reducing the
danger of bacterial development.
3. Energy savings.
4. Conservation of the nutritional value of foods
due to the shorter cooking times.
5. Easy to clean.
How a microwave oven works
In a microwave oven there is a high tension valve
called a magnetron which converts electrical
energy into microwave energy. These
electromagnetic waves are channelled to the
interior of the oven through a wave guide and
distributed by a metallic spreader or through a
turntable.
Inside the oven the microwaves propagate in all
directions and are reflected by the metal walls,
uniformly penetrating the food.
Why food heats up
Most foods contain water and water molecules
vibrate when subjected to microwaves.
The friction between molecules produces heat
which raises the temperature of the food, de-
freezing it, cooking it or keeping it hot.
Since the heat arises inside the food:
•This can be cooked with little or no liquid or
fats/oils;
•De-freezing, heating or cooking in a
microwave oven is quicker than in a
conventional oven;
•The vitamins, minerals and nutritional
substances in the food are conserved;
•The natural colour and aroma of the food are
unchanged.
Microwaves pass through china, glass, cardboard
or plastic but do not go through metal. For this
reason, metal containers or ones with metal parts
must not be used in a microwave oven.
Microwaves are reflected by metal...
... but go through glass and china...
... and are absorbed by foods.
