1.4 IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS  
Read carefully these instructions and keep for future reference.  
N.B. This oven has been designed to defrost, heat and cook food in the home. It must never be used for other  
purposes, modified or tampered with in any way.  
1) WARNING: If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repai-  
red by a competent person (trained by the manufacturer or by its Customer Service).  
2) WARNING: It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair ope-  
ration which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.  
3) WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explo-  
de. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may  
explode even after microwave heating has ended.  
4) WARNING: The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons. Young children should  
be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.  
Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions have been given so that  
the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.  
5) WARNING: when operating in combi mode, the oven becomes extremely hot. Do not allow children to use  
it without adult supervision.  
6) Do not attempt to operate the oven with the door open by tampering with the safety  
devices.  
7) Do not operate the oven if objects for any kind get stuck between the front panel of the oven and the door.  
Always keep the inside of the door (E) clean, using a damp cloth and non-abrasive  
detergents. Do not allow dirt or remains of food to accumulate between the front  
panel of the oven on the door.  
8) Do not operate the oven if the supply cable or the plug is damaged, as this may result  
in electric shocks.  
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service  
agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.  
9) If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and KEEP THE DOOR CLO-  
SED in order to stifle any flames.  
10)Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens. In order to avoid  
overheating and the consequent risk of fire, it is advisable to supervise the oven  
when cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, cardboard or other  
inflammable materials, and when heating small quantities of food.  
11)Never place the turntable in water after it has ben heated for a long time. The high  
thermal shock resulting would break the turntable.  
12)When cooking "Only MICROWAVE" and "COMBINED WITH MICROWAVE" , you  
absolutely must not pre-heat the oven (without foodstuffs in it) and you must not ope-  
rate it when it is empty, because you might cause sparking.  
13)Before using this oven, check to be certain that the utensil and containers chosen are  
suitable for microwave oven use (see the section on "Glassware and Similar Items").  
14)The temperature of the door or the outer surface may be high when the appliance is  
operating. Do not place anything on top of the oven while in use. Do not touch the  
heating elements inside the oven.  
15)When heating liquids (water, coffee, milk, etc.) it is possible that the contents may  
suddenly start to boil and spill violently as a result of delayed boiling, causing scal-  
9

ding. To avoid this happening, you should place a heat-resistant plastic spoon or a  
glass rod in the container before starting to heat liquids. Anyway, care shall be taken  
when handling the container.  
16)Do not heat spirit with a high alcohol content, nor large quantities of oil, as these  
could catch fire !  
17)The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the  
temperature shall be checked before consumption in order to avoid burns. It is also  
advisable to stir or shake the food in order to ensure that it has an even temperatu-  
re. When using commercially available bottle sterilisers, before turning the oven on,  
ALWAYS make sure the container is filled with the quantity of water indicated by the  
manufacturer.  
N.B. When the oven is used for the first time it is possible that, for a period of approx.  
10 minutes, it may produce a “new” smell and a small amount of smoke. This is only  
a result of protective substances applied to the heating element.

Compatibility, and to directive 89/109/E.E.C. regarding materials which come into contact with food.  
1.6 INSTALLATION AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTION  
The oven must be built-in at a minimum hight of 850 mm.  
1) Remove all the accessories and wash them.  
2) Clean the inside with a soft, damp cloth.  
3) Check that there is no damage as a result of transportation, and in particular that the door opens and clos-  
es properly.  
4) Place the support (H) in the centre of the circular groove and fix the turntable (G) to it. The spindle (D) should  
be inserted in the corresponding groove in the centre of the turntable.  
5) After the installation has been performed, the power supply cable and the power socket must be easy to  
access.  
6) Only a qualified electrician may install or relocate a socket outlet.  
7) Only connect the appliance to a power socket with a power capacity of at least 16A. Also make sure that the  
main switch installed in your home has a minimum power capacity of 16A in order to avoid it suddenly trip-  
ping while the oven is on.  
8) Before use, check that the power supply voltage is the same as the one shown on the rating label and that  
the power outlet is properly earthed: the manufacturer disclaims any liability in the event of non-compliance  
with this safety regulation.

1.7 OVENWARE TO BE USED  
You can make use of all types of containers made of glass (preferably Pyrex), ceramics, porcelain and glazed  
pottery as long as they do not have decorations or metal parts (gilded borders, handles, feet). Heat resistant  
plastic containers can also be used, but only for “Microwave Only” cooking. If you are still doubtful about using  
a particular container, you can perform a simple test. Place the empty container in the oven for 30 seconds at  
maximum power (“Microwave Only” function).  
If the container is still cold or only slightly warm, it is suitable for microwave cooking.  
If it is very hot or gives out sparks, it is not suitable.  
For short heating periods, you may use paper napkins, cardboard trays and plastic “throwaway” plates as a  
base.  
As far as shape and size are concerned, it is absolutely essential that containers be such as to allow the turntable  
to rotate.  
In order to use large-size rectangular containers (which may not be able to rotate inside the cooking cavity), you  
can remove the spindle (D) from its housing to prevent the turntable (G) moving. Bear in mind that to be assured  
of good results when carrying this out you must stir the food and turn the container around several times during  
the cooking process.  
Containers made of metal, wood, recycled kitchen paper, cane and plate glass are not suitable for use in  
microwave ovens. The metal grill rack supplied with your microwave have been fully tested for safe use.  
You should remember, too, that since microwaves heat the food and not the glassware, earthenware or similar  
containers for that food, it is possible to cook such foods in the serving dish and thereby avoid the problem of  
having to clean pans later.  
If the oven is used in its grill only functions, any type of oven container may be used (see chart).

1.9 RULES AND GENERAL SUGGESTIONS FOR USING THE OVEN  
Microwaves consist of electromagnetic radiation found in nature under the form of light waves (e.g., sunlight). Inside  
the oven, these waves penetrate food from all directions and heat up the water, fatty and sugar molecules. Heat is  
produced very quickly only in the food itself, whereas the container being used warms up indirectly by means  
of heat given off by the heated food. This prevents food from sticking to its container, so you can use very little  
fatty substance or, in some cases, no fat at all during the cooking process. Therefore cooking in a microwave  
oven is considered to be healthy and good for ones diet. And in contrast to traditional methods, cooking in a  
microwave foodstuffs are less dehydrated, lose less of their nutritional value, and retain more of their original  
flavour.  
Basic rules for correct cooking with a microwave oven  
1) In order to set cooking times correctly, remember (in referring to the charts on the fol-  
lowing pages) that when you increase the amount of foodstuffs the cooking temperatu-  
re must likewise be proportionately increased and vice-versa. It is important to respect  
the “standing” times: standing time means that period during which the food must be  
left to “rest” after being cooked so as to allow an even greater spreading of the tem-  
perature within. The temperature of meat, for example, will rise about 5°-8° C. (approx.  
9°-15° F.) during the standing time. Standing times may be observed either inside or  
outside the oven.  
2) One of the main things you must do is stir the food several times while it is being  
cooked. This helps make the temperature distribution more uniform and thus short-  
ens the cooking time.  
3) It is also advisable to turn the foodstuff over during its cooking process: this applies  
especially for meat, whether it is in large pieces (roasts, whole chickens, etc.) or small  
(chicken breasts, etc.).  
4) Foods having a skin, shell or peel (e.g., apples, potatoes, tomatoes, frankfurters,  
fish) must be pierced with a fork in several points so as to permit steam to escape  
and to prevent those items from exploding.  
5) If you are preparing a large number of portions of the same food item (e.g., boiled  
potatoes), place those portions in a Pyrex dish in order to have them cook in a uni-  
form manner:  
6) The lower the temperature at which a foodstuff is placed in a microwave oven, the  
longer the cooking time required. Food having a room temperature will cook more  
quickly than food having a refrigerator temperature.  
7) Always do your cooking by placing the food container in the centre of the turntable.  
8) It is perfectly normal for condensation to form inside the oven and near the air out-  
let. To reduce such condensation, cover the foodstuffs with clear-sheet, wax paper,  
a glass lid or simply an overturned plate. Then, too, foods having a water content  
(e.g., greens and vegetables) cook better when covered. The covering of food also  
helps keep the oven clean on the inside. Use clear-sheet made expressly for  
microwave ovens.  
9) Do not cook eggs in their shells: the pressure which builds up on the inside would  
cause the egg to explode, even after cooking has finished. Do not heat up eggs which  
have already been cooked, unless they are scrambled.  
10)Do not forget to open containers which are air-tight or sealed before heating or  
cooking food in the oven. The pressure on the inside of the container would rise, cau-  
sing them to explode even after cooking has finished.

2.2 - SIMULTANEOUS COOKING ON 2 LEVELS  
By using the low wire rack (I) with the microwave-only function, you can defrost, reheat and cook foods at the  
same time, even different dishes on two levels. The special double-microwave-emission system makes possible,  
in fact, a perfect distribution of energy.  
When you wish to cook two food dishes at the same time, all you have to do is keep these basic rules in mind:  
1) The cooking times for food dishes cooked at the same time are different from those for the cooking of single  
dishes. So always consult the reference table on page 47.  
Times for simultaneous cooking  
Potatoes

Goulash  
(below)  
16 min  
40 min  
Cooking times for single dishes  
Patate  
7 - 8 min  
Goulash  
30 - 35 min  
2) Be careful to ALWAYS place on the LOW WIRE RACK that food which requires less cookig time: it will thus  
be easier to remove the upper pan.  
Take the wire rack out and finish cooking the food underneath.  
Upper food dish  
(less time)  
Lower food dish  
(more time)

3) Pay strict attention to the indications and recommendations in the tables. In particular, always check to be  
sure that the food being reheated is very hot before removing it from the oven.

- if the oven door is open, push the STOP button (6) once;  
- if the oven is operating, push the STOP button (6) twice;  
- If the oven is turned off and its door closed, push the STOP button (6) once.  
USING THE MICROWAVE-ONLY FUNCTION FOR DEFROSTING  
Foods frozen in bags or plastic sheeting or in their packaging may be placed directly in the oven, as long  
as they have no metal parts (e.g., bands or closure rivets).  
Certain foods, such as greens, vegetables and fish, do not generally require defrosting before you begin  
cooking them.  
Stewed foods and meats as well as meat sauces defrost better and quicker if they are stirred from time to  
time, turned over or croken cup.  
While defrosting, meat and fish lose their liquid content. It is recommended, therefore, that you defrost such  
items in a tray or basin.  
It is advisable to separate each individual piece of meat from its bag before putting it in the freezer. This will  
help you save valuable time will preparing foods.  
Be careful about following the timings printed on frozen products, because they are guideline and may not  
always be correct. It is best to use defrosting times slightly less than those indicated. The time needed for  
defrosting will vary in terms of the degree to which the food has been frozen.

Push the button START (14). (The  
display will show the time and  
power set up.)  
Once the set time has elapsed,  
you will hear three long beeps,  
and at the same time the word  
End will appear on the display.  
It is possible to access the time of day even while the oven is operating. Simply push the button (8). The  
correct time will appear on the display for about 3 seconds.  
You can check on the progress whenever you please by opening the door and taking a close look at the  
food. The microwave energy will automatically stop but it will start again when you close the door and push  
the START button (14).  
If for any reason whatsoever it becomes necessary to interrupt the cooking without opening the oven door,  
simply push the STOP button (6).  
To stop the cooking, instead, do as follows:  
- if the over door is open, push the STOP button (6) once;  
- if the oven is operating, push the STOP button (6) twice;  
- if the oven is turned off and its door closed, push the STOP button (6) once.  
The cooking time and microwave power can be changed even after you have pushed the START button (14)  
to activate the function desired.

2.5 USING THE MICROWAVE-ONLY FUNCTION TO KEEP FOOD HOT  
This function enables you to keep food hot, whether that food be just cooked or re-heated, without it drying out  
or sticking to its container and is suitable for most foods.  
Selecting the “1” power level and covering the food with a plate or plastic film, you will find that foods will  
remain warm up to serving time.  
You can leave foods in their cooking container if they are covered.  
2.6 USING THE MICROWAVE-ONLY FUNCTION FOR RE-HEATING  
Heating food in a microwave oven is much quicker and energy efficient than traditional methods.  
We recommend that you heat foods (especially if they are frozen) to a temperature of at least 70° C. (it must  
be piping hot!). Leave to stand for a ten minutes as you will not be able to eat that food immediately because  
it will be too hot.  
This will ensure that any possible bacteria present in food will have been killed.  
To heat pre-cooked or frozen foods, follow these rules:  
- remove the food from any metal containers;  
- cover it with plastic wrap (the clear-film type suitable for microwave ovens) or wax paper; in this way, all  
the foods natural flavour will be preserved and the oven will stay cleaner; you may also cover the food  
with an up turned plate;  
- if possible, stir or turn the food over frequently so as to speed up the heating process and to keep the heat  
uniform;  
- follow the cooking times listed with caution; remember that under certain conditions the timings given must  
be lengthened  
Frozen foods must be defrosted before the heating process begins. The lower the foods initial temperature,  
the longer the time needed for heating.  
Foodstuffs and drinks may be heated briefly in paper or plastic containers. In any event, however, such con-  
tainers may become misshapen if the heating time is too long.

2.7 USING THE MICROWAVE-ONLY FUNCTION FOR COOKING  
SOUPS AND RICE  
Soups or broth usually require a smaller amount of liquid because the evaporation in microwave ovens is rather  
limited. Because it is a dehydrating agent, salt must be added only when the cooking is finished or during the  
standing time.  
It is correct to say that the temperature required for cooking rice in a microwave oven (as is true also for pasta)  
is more or less the same as that needed to cook this foodstuff over a burner on a regular stove. The advantage  
of preparing a risotto dish in a microwave oven lies in the fact that you do not have to stir the rice constantly  
(two or three times is enough).  
The ingredients are placed in a container suitable for microwave ovens and covered with plastic wrap (for about  
300 gr. of rice, you need 750 gr. of broth with the oven programmed at top power for about 12 to 15 minutes).  
In addition, the rice will not stick to the bottom of its container and, since it can be cooked in a tureen or some  
other such receptacle to be brought to the table, you will not have to transfer that rice to a serving plate.  
MEATS  
When using the microwave-only function to cook meat, you should cover the meat with plastic wrap made for  
microwave oven use; in this way, the heat is distributed better and you will prevent the loss of juices that often  
leads to dried-up and stringy meat. This oven function is suitable for making stews, goulash, chicken breasts,  
etc. To prepare roasts and skewered meat dishes (among others), you must use the combined function.  
FISH  
In a microwave oven, fish can be prepared very quickly and with excellent results. You can season it with a little  
oil or butter (or not season it at all, if you so prefer). Cover the fish with clear-sheet. The skin is to be slit, of  
course, and filleted fish must be placed in a uniform fashion. We recommend that you not use this oven to cook  
fish which has been dipped in egg batter.  
GREENS AND VEGETABLES  
Greens and vegetables cooked in a microwave oven retain more of their colour and nutritional value than when  
cooked in traditional ovens. Before cooking greens and vegetables, wash and clean them.  
Larger-sized varieties of this category are to be cut up into uniform pieces.  
Per every 500 gr. of greens or vegetables add about 5 teaspoons of water (fibre-type vegetables need more  
water).  
Greens and vegetables must always be covered with plastic wrap.  
Stir greens and vegetables at least once at the halfway point. Add a little salt only at the end.

FRUIT AND BAKED GOODS  
Baked goods rise (at lower oven power) much more than then do with regular baking. Since no crust is formed,  
it is better to garnish the surface portions with cream or icing (e.g., chocolate); in addition, you must keep the  
item being baked fully covered, because such foodstuffs tend to dry out more quickly than those baked in a regu-  
lar oven. Fruit is to be pierced if cooked with its peel on and is to be kept covered: it is essential that you adhe-  
re to the standing time (3 to 5 minutes).

If for any reason whatsoever it becomes necessary to interrupt the cooking without opening the oven door, sim-  
ply push the STOP button (6).  
To stop the cooking, instead, do as follows:  
- if the oven door is open, push the STOP button (6) once;  
- if the oven is operating, push the STOP button (6) twice;  
- if the oven is turned off and its door closed, push the STOP button (6) once.  
The cooking time and microwave power can be changed even after you have pushed the START button (14) to  
activate the function desired.  
NOTE: This model has an automatic cooling cycle activated when the oven is too hot after cooking with “combined  
microwave+grill” or “grill only” functions. The fan, oven light and turntable remain in operation (for a further five  
minutes) while the grill element and microwave components are off. In addition, when the door is opened and closed  
to remove food, the word “Cool” is displayed until the cycle is completed.

USING THE COMBINED MICROWAVE + GRILL FUNCTION TO COOK  
This setting is ideal for all those dishes which have to be “au gratin” or must be given a certain colour. You must  
keep the following in mind.  
Do not spunkle with seasonings in general (use only 1/2 cup of water to keep meat tender).  
Turn roasts and large cuts of meat over when they are half-cooked.  
If, while the cooking is in progress, the top surface of the foodstuff is sufficiently browned before the set time  
has elapsed, push the STOP button (6) to re-set the time remaining for microwaves only. To check on the  
progress of the cooking itself, open the oven door. Always be careful to wear padded gloves made for oven  
use because the heating element is hot. The act of opening the door will interrupt the operations of both the  
microwaves and the grill. To resume the cooking, all you have to do is close the oven door and push the START  
button (14).  
In cooking with the combined grill function, do not pre-heat the oven and do not operate the oven if there  
are no foodstuffs in it.

CHAPTER 3 - CARE AND CLEANING  
3.1 CLEANING  
Always switch off at the power socket, disconnect the plug and wait for the  
appliance to cool down, before any cleaning and maintenance is carried out.  
The internal cavity of your oven is covered with a special non-stick finish to which  
splashes and food particles do not stick, making cleaning particularly simple.  
Always keep the microwave outlet cover (C) clean and free from grease and  
splashes of fat.  
Do not use abrasive detergents, wire sponges and sharp metal tools when clean-  
ing the external surface of the oven. Also be careful to ensure that water or liquid  
detergent does not penetrate the air and steam vent grilles on the top of the appli-  
ance.  
It is also advisable not to use alcohol, abrasive detergents or ammonia-based  
detergents to clean the internal and external surfaces of the door.  
Always keep the inside of the door clean to ensure that it closes properly, so that  
dirt and food residues do not become trapped between the door and the front  
panel of the oven.  
Check from time to time that the ventilation openings located on the back and  
underneath the cabinet which houses the appliance are free from any obstructions  
or dust.  
Contact your Service Assistance Centre for any necessary controls of the ventila-  
tion openings found on the back of the appliance.  
It is necessary to remove the turntable (G) and its corresponding support (H) peri-  
odically in order to clean them; the bottom of the oven should also be cleaned.  
Wash the turntable and its support in soapy water using mild soap. They can also  
be washed in a dishwasher.  
Do not immerse the turntable in cold water after prolonged heating; the sudden  
change in temperature would cause it to crack.  
The turntable motor is sealed. When cleaning the bottom, you should nevertheless  
take care to avoid water penetrating under the turntable spindle (D).
