RISK OF INJURY

Instructions
81
EN
• Children must never play with
the appliance.
• Keep children under eight years
of age at a safe distance if they
are not constantly supervised.
• Do not allow children younger
than 8 years old to come near
the appliance when in
operation.
• The appliance must never be
cleaned by unsupervised
children.
• The cooking process must
always be monitored. Short
cooking processes must be
monitored continuously.
• Never leave the appliance
unattended during cooking in
which fat or oil could be

and catch fire. Be very careful.
• Do not pour water directly onto
very hot trays.
• Keep the oven door closed
during cooking.
• Do not insert pointed metal
objects (cutlery or utensils) into
the slots in the appliance.
• If you need to move food or at
the end of cooking, open the
door 5 cm for a few seconds,
let the steam come out, then
open it fully.
• Switch off the appliance
immediately after use.
• DO NOT USE OR STORE
FLAMMABLE MATERIALS
NEAR THE APPLIANCE.
• DO NOT USE AEROSOLS IN
THE VICINITY OF THIS
APPLIANCE WHILST IT IS IN
USE.
• DO NOT MODIFY THE
APPLIANCE.
• Have qualified personnel carry
out installation and assistance
interventions according to the
standards in force.
• Do not try to repair the
appliance yourself or without
the intervention of a qualified
technician.
• Do not pull the cable to remove

Instructions
82
• Check the appliance visually
during the cooking of foods in
plastic or paper containers.
• Use the microwave only for the
preparation of food for
consumption. Other types of
applications are strictly
forbidden (e.g. drying clothes,
warming slippers, sponges, wet
cloths or the like, dehydrating
foods) because they can lead
to the risk of injury or fire.
• Clean the appliance constantly
and remove any food residue.
• Do not use the microwave to
dry food.
• Do not use the microwave to
heat oils or fry.
• Do not use the appliance to
heat foods or beverages
containing alcohol.
• Do not heat eggs in their shells
or whole hard boiled eggs; they
may explode even after the
heating process has completed.
• Do not heat food contained in
food packages.
USING MICROWAVES
Improper use
Danger of explosion
• When using the microwave to heat or
reheat liquids, the boiling process
may be delayed – boiling
temperature can be reached without
the formation of the usual ”rolling
boil”. This delayed boiling and
consequent superheating of the liquid
can generate an explosion inside the
appliance, or sudden boiling over of
the superheated liquid can occur
when removing the container from the
appliance. To avoid these dangers, it
is necessary to insert the supplied
boiling rod (or a heat-resistant plastic
spoon) in the container while heating.

Instructions
83
EN
• Baby food should not be
heated in sealed containers.
Remove the cover or the teat (in
the case of baby bottles).
Always check the temperature
of the preparation after it has
been heated, it should not be
too high. For an even
temperature and to avoid
scalding stir or shake the
contents.
• Puncture the skin of food that
has a hard skin or peel (e.g.
potatoes, apples, etc.) before
cooking.
• Do not use the microwave
functions when the oven is
empty.

Use
93
EN
3 Use
Instructions
Microwaves
The appliance is equipped with a
microwave generator called a magnetron.
The microwaves generated are evenly
emitted into the oven cavity in order to
reach the food and heat it.
Heating takes place through friction
between the molecules contained in the
food (mainly water molecules), with the
consequent generation of heat.
The heat generated directly inside the food
allows it to be defrosted, re-heated or
cooked in a shorter time compared to
traditional cooking.
Using containers suitable for microwave
cooking allows the microwaves to reach
the food in a uniform manner.
High temperature inside the oven
during use
Danger of burns
• Keep the oven door closed during
cooking.
• Protect your hands by wearing oven
gloves when moving food inside the
oven.
• Do not touch the heating elements inside
the oven.
• Do not pour water directly onto very hot
trays.
• Do not allow children to approach the
oven when it is in operation.
Improper use
Risk of damage to enamelled
surfaces
• Do not cover the bottom of the oven
cavity with aluminium or tin foil sheets.
• If you wish to use greaseproof paper,
place it so that it will not interfere with the
hot air circulation inside the oven.
• Do not place pans or trays directly on
the bottom of the oven cavity.
• Do not pour water directly onto very hot
trays.
High temperature inside the oven
during use
Danger of fire or explosion
• Do not spray any spray products near
the appliance.
• Do not use or leave flammable materials
near the appliance.
• Do not use plastic cookware or
containers when cooking food.
• Do not put sealed tins or containers in
the oven.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended
during cooking operations where fats or
oils could be released.
• Remove all trays and racks which are
not required during cooking.

Use
94
3.1 Materials suitable for use with
microwaves

• Aluminium foil
• Aluminium trays
• Plates
• Metal utensils
• Freezer bags tie wraps
- Wood
- Crystal glasses
- Paper (risk of fire)
- Polystyrene containers (danger of food
contamination)
Dishes must be free of metal
decorations.
Do not use metal accessory trays
in the microwave or combined
microwave functions.

EN
Testing dishes
To check whether the cookware is suitable
for use with microwave cooking, carry out
this simple test:
1. Remove all accessories from the oven
cavity.
2. Place the cookware to be tested on the
rack inserted in the first runner.
3. Select the maximum power level (e.g.
1000W).
4. Set a cooking time of 30 seconds.
5. Start cooking.
6. At the end of the test the cookware must
be either cold or slightly warm. If the
cookware is hot then it should be
considered as unsuitable for microwave
use.
Preliminary operations
1. Remove any protective film from the
outside or inside of the appliance,
including accessories.
2. Remove any labels (apart from the
technical data plate) from the
accessories and from the oven cavity.
3. Remove all the accessories from the
appliance and wash them (see ”4
Cleaning and maintenance”).
4. Heat the empty oven at the maximum
temperature to burn off any residues left
by the manufacturing process.
3.2 Using the accessories
Tray rack
The tray rack has to be inserted into the tray.
In this way fat can be collected separately
from the food which is being cooked.
The microwave function can be
used without any food inside the
oven only for this test.
Unsuitable cookware
Risk of damage to the appliance
• Stop the test immediately if there is a
cracking sound or if sparks are emitted
from the cookware. If this happens, it
means that the cookware is not suitable
for microwave cooking.
When heating the oven for the first
time, use a traditional function and
not a microwave function.

Use
96
Racks and trays
Racks and trays have to be inserted into the
side guides until they come to a complete
stop.
• The mechanical safety locks that prevent
the rack from being removed
accidentally must face downwards
towards the back of the oven.
Boiling rod
When using the microwave oven to heat or
reheat liquids, the boiling process may be
delayed. To avoid this, place the boiling
rod, supplied (or a heat-resistant plastic
spoon), into the container while heating.
High temperature
Danger of burns
• The accessory gets very hot. Always use
oven gloves when handling.
Gently insert racks and trays into
the oven until they come to a stop.
Clean the trays before using them
for the first time to remove any
residues left by the manufacturing
process.
Improper use
Danger of explosion/burns
• To avoid the danger of explosion inside
the appliance or the sudden boiling over
of superheated liquids, always place a
boiling rod in the liquid that is being
heated.
High temperature
Risk of damage to the accessory
• Use the boiling rod only with
Microwave functions. The rod must not
be used with combination and
traditional functions.
