Environmental protection
Disposal of the packaging
The packaging bears the Green Point mark.
Dispose of all the packaging materials such as
cardboard, expanded polystyrene and plastic
wrapping in the appropriate bins. In this way you
can be sure that the packaging materials will be
re-used.
Disposal of equipment no longer used
According to European Directive 2002/96/EC on
the management of waste electrical and electronic
equipment (WEEE), home electrical appliances
should not be put into the normal systems for
disposal of solid urban waste.
Outdated appliances should be collected
separately to optimise component material
recovery and re-cycling rates and to prevent
potential harm to human health and the
environment. The symbol of a rubbish container
superimposed by a diagonal cross should be put
on all such products to remind people of their
obligation to have such items collected separately.
Consumers should contact their local authorities
or point of sale and request information on the
appropriate places to leave their old home
electrical appliances.
Before disposing of your appliance, render it non-
usable by pulling out the power cable, cutting this
and disposing of it.

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 plug.
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 plug (where
accessible) or 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.
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 in the centre of the oven cavity
and put the Turntable ring and the Turntable plate 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: Don’t use the baking tray with
microwave function or combined microwave
function.
•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! This appliance is not intended for
use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of
the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety. Children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
•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.
•During use the appliance becomes hot. Care
should be taken to avoid touching heating
elements inside the oven.
•Warning: Accessible parts may become hot
during use. Young children should be kept
away.
•Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp
metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass
since they can scratch the surface, which
may result in shattering of the glass.
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.
