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
and the pacemaker in order to avoid possible
interference with the pacemaker. If you suspect
that such an interference is occurring, turn the oven
off immediately and contact the pacemaker
manufacturer.

disposable containers made of plastic, cardboard
or other inflammable materials, and when heating
small quantities of food.
21)If the oven overheats (prolonged use, use empty,
etc), the safety thermostat could turn the oven off.
After cooling down, the oven will operate as normal.
22)The door or the outer surface may get hot when the
appliance is operating.
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 operate it when it is empty,
because you might cause sparking.
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
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

may be high when the appliance is operating. 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 scalding. 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
temperature. 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.
18)Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition
could lead to deterioration of the surface that could
adversely affect the life of the appliance and
possibly result in a hazardous situation.
19)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.

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.
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
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 tripping 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.
9) The majority of modern electronic appliances (TV,
radio, stereo systems etc) are shielded from radio
frequency (RF) signals. Certain electronic
appliances may not, however, be shielded from
radio frequency signals deriving from a microwave
oven. You should therefore keep a distance of at
least 1 - 2 metres between these appliances and the
operating oven.
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).

Rules and general suggestions for
using the oven
GB
7) Always do your cooking by placing the food
container in the centre of the turntable.
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 meansof 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 one’s 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.
8) It is perfectly normal for condensation to form
inside the oven and near the air outlet.
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, causing them to explode even after
cooking has finished.
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 following pages)
that when you increase the amount of foodstuffs
the cooking temperature 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 temperature 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 shortens 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 uniform 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

fish, do not have to be completely defrosted 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 separated.
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.
Set the cooking time desired by
turning the timer knob in a
clockwise direction.
•
Be careful about following the cooking times
printed on frozen products, because those times
are not always 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.
Once the set cooking time has
expired, a buzzer will sound to
signal that your food is ready.
It is possible to interrupt the
oven’s operations at any time

To heat pre-cooked or frozen foods, follow these
rules:
Using the microwave only function to
re-heating
-
-
remove the food from its metal containers;
cover it with plastic wrap (the clear-film type
suitable for microwave ovens) or wax paper; in
this way, all the food’s natural flavour will be
preserved and the oven will stay cleaner; you
may also cover the food with an upside-down
plate;
Heating food in a microwave oven is much quicker
and energy efficient than traditional methods.
•
We recommend that you heat foodstuffs (especially
if they are frozen) to a temperature of at least 70°
C. (it must be piping hot!). Leave to stand for a few
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.
-
if possible, stir or turn the food over frequently
so as to speed up the heating process and
keep the heat uniform at the same time;

Using the microwave only functionfor
cooking
GB
Greens and vegetables must always be covered with
plastic wrap.
Soups and rice
Stir greens and vegetables at least once at the
halfway point. Add a little salt only at the end.
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.
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 regular oven. Fruit is to be pierced if
cooked with its peel on and is to be kept covered: it is
essential that you adhere to the standing time (3 to 5
minutes).
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.
Green 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

Care and cleaning
Do not immerse the turntable in cold water after
prolonged heating; the sudden change in temperature
would cause it to crack.
Cleaning
GB
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 turntable motor is sealed. When cleaning the
bottom, you should nevertheless take care to avoid
water penetrating under the turntable spindle (D).
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.
