Disposal of old electrical appliances
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the
normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately
in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and redu-
ce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed out “wheeled bin”
symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the
appliance it must be separately collected. Consumers should contact their local autho-
rity or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
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 repaired 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 operation 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 explode. 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: Accessible parts may become hot during use. Young children should be kept away.
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) Do not attempt to operate the oven with the door open by tampering with the safety devices.
6) 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 (C) 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.
7) Do not operate the oven if the supply cable or the plug is damaged, as this may result in electric
shocks. If the supply cable has been damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or the
technical service centre or by a qualified person so as to avoid all risks.
8) If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and KEEP THE DOOR CLOSED in order
to stifle any flames.
9) 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.
10)Never place the turntable in water after it has ben heated for a long time. The high thermal shock
resulting would break the turntable.
11)When cooking "Only 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.
12)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").
13)During the use the appliance becomes hot. Do not touch the heating elements inside the oven.
14)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.
15)Do not heat spirit with a high alcohol content, nor large quantities of oil, as these could catch fire!
16)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
5
the food in order to ensure that it has an even temperature.
17) 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.
18)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.
19)All microwaves are tested and approved in accordance with current electromagnetic safety and
compatibility regulations and standards. As a precautionary measure, pacemaker manufacturers
recommend wearers to keep a minimum distance of 20-30 cm between an operating microwave
oven 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.
20)The door or the outer surface may get hot when the appliance is operating.
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.
INSTALLATION
1) After having removed the oven from its box, check to make certain that the turntable spindle (B) is cor-
rectly fitted into its housing. Place the turntable support (E) in the middle of the cooking chamber and
set the turntable (D) on top of it. The spindle (B) must be inserted in the related turntable housing.
2) Check to make certain that this equipment has not been damaged in transport and check espe-
cially to see if the door opens and closes correctly.
3) Place this oven on a surface so that there remains a space of about 5 cm. between the oven’s
surface portions and the walls to the side and the back, and a free space of at least 20 cm.
above the oven.
4) Never block up or otherwise obstruct the air outlet holes. In particular, never place anything on
the oven and check to be certain that the air and steam outlet slots (located atop the oven) are
ALWAYS FREE.
5) DO NOT remove the transparent film on the inner surface of the door.
6) 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.
OUTPUT POWER
The microwave output power is written on the rating plate placed on the rear side of the appliance
(see “MICRO OUTPUT”). When you consult the tables, always look up your oven’s output power. It
will be useful also when you are consulting cookbooks intended for use with microwave ovens.
ONLY FOR SOME MODELS: The microwave output power is also indicated
inside this simbol, placed on the oven door.
(ONLY FOR U.K.) The letter indicates the heating category to which your
oven belongs: some pre-cooked food packages (frozen or chilled) give heat-
ing instructions corresponding to the various categories. Follow those instruc-
tions related to the category indicated for your oven.
The levels of intermediate power available are shown on page 4. This information will be useful for
you to consult the prescription pads for microwaves currently on sale.

GLASSWARE AND SIMILAR ITEMS
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 (B) from its housing to prevent the
turntable (D) 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
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.
However, remember that heat may be transferred
from the food itself to the plate, making it neces-
sary to use an oven glove. In any case, observe
the guidelines shown in the following table:

ADVICE ON USING YOUR OVEN CORRECTLY
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 sub-
stance or, in some cases, no fat at all during the
cooking process.
Therefore cooking in a microwave oven is con-
sidered 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.
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 time 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 where appropriate several times while it is
being cooked. This helps distribute the heat more uniformly and thus shortens the cooking time.
3) It is also advisable to turn the foodstuff over where appropriate 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 with a skin, shell or peel (e.g., apples, potatoes, tomatoes, frankfurters, fish) must be
pierced with a fork or sharp knife in several points so as to allow steam to escape and pre-
vent exploding.
5) If you are preparing a large number of portions of the same food item (e.g., boiled potatoes),
place them in a large dish to allow uniform cooking.
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 cook 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 outlet. To reduce such
condensation, cover the foodstuffs with clear-film, wax paper, a glass lid or simply an overturned
plate. 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. Make sure when using clear films that
they are suitable for microwave use.
10
USE THE MICROWAVE-ONLY FUNCTION WHEN COOKING ON TWO LEVELS AT THE SAME TIME
Only for models provided with a spacer wire rack
By using the spacer grill 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 12.
Times for simultaneous cooking
24 min
Potatoes
(above)
48 min
Goulash
(below)
Cooking times for single dishes
Potatoes
Goulash
10 - 14 min
35 - 40 min
2) Be careful to ALWAYS place on the SPACER 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)
Spacer wire rack
Lower food dish
Turntable
(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.

HOW TO PROGRAMME THYE DEFROST FUNCTION
To correctly use this function, both the microwave power level and the defrost time must be set.
1. Press the “Power Level” button until the ”
” symbol appears.
2. Set the required time by turning the “- Time +” knob.
3. Press the “Stop/Start” button to start defrosting.
4. At the end of the set time a single “beep” will be emitted and the display will show “00:00”.
•
•
If the door is opened to check the progress of the defrost, the microwave will stop and the display
will show the remaining time. Close the door to continue defrosting.
The oven will start counting the time from it was stopped at.
Pressing the “Stop/Start” button before opening the door stops the count and switches off the
oven; open the door to check the progress of the defrost. Close the door and press the
“Stop/Start” button to restart the defrost cycle.
To reset the timer, proceed as follows:
- with the oven door open: press the “Clock/Reset” button once
- with the oven in operation: press the “Clock/Reset” button once
- with the oven off and the door closed: press the “Clock/Reset” button once

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 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.
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.

HOW TO PROGRAMME THE OVEN SO AS TO KEEP FOOD HOT, TO REHEAT AND TO COOK
1. Press the “Power Level” button until the required power is selected (
= maximum;
=
minimum).
If the “Power Level” button is not pressed, the oven will operate at maximum power
The indication at the bottom of the display shows the power level selected.
2. Set the required time by turning the “- Time +” knob.
.
3. Press the “Stop/Start” button to start the function. The display shows the set time and the power
level.
4. At the end of the set time a single “beep” will be emitted and the display will show “00:00”.
•
You can check on the progress whenever you please by opening the oven door and taking a close
look at the foodstuff. By doing so, you interrupt the microwaves, but their emission will resume
when you close the door again.
•
•
If for any reason whatsoever it becomes necessary to interrupt the cooking without opening the
door, simply push the “Stop/Start“ button.
To stop the cooking, do as follows:
- if the oven door is open, push the “Clock/Reset” button once;
- if the oven is operating, push the “Clock/Reset” button once;
- if the oven is turned off and its door closed, push the “Clock/Reset” button once.
The cooking time and the microwave power may be changed even after you have pushed the
“Stop/Start“ button.
•
KEEPING FOOD WARM
•
•
•
This function enables you to keep food hot, whether that food be just cooked or re-heated, without
having it get dry or stick to its container.
Selecting the 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.
HEATING
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.
To heat pre-cooked or frozen foods, follow these rules:
- 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;
- 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;
- follow the cooking times listed with great 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 food’s initial tem-
perature, the longer the time needed for heating.
Foodstuffs and drinks may be heated briefly in paper or plastic containers. In any event, howev-
er, such containers may become misshapen if the heating time is too long.

COOKING
MEATS
POULTRY
FISH
You can make roasts, braised meats
and stews. Turn over and rotate
those large pieces which cannot be
stirred. Be careful not to be deceived
by the meat’s outward appearance
(during and at the end of the cook-
ing), because it may not have the
brownish colour common to meats
prepared in a regular oven. In
return, however, the nutritional val-
ues and flavour of meat are retained
to an exceptional degree.
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.
You can defrost and then cook all
types of poultry in a microwave
oven. Poultry skin may not roast to
the colour usually associated with
other ovens: to obtain a golden
brown tone, baste the skin with a
brush dipped in melted butter or
margarine.
Cooking times for meat, poultry and fish
If you wish to make meat more tender, we recommend that you add 1/2 of a cup of water at the start of
the cooking process.The times indicated on the chart (timer knob) vary in relation to your oven’s output
power. The output power figure is printed on the oven door, inside the
symbol (see page 6).

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.
Per every 500 gr. of greens or vegetables add about 5 teaspoons of water
Greens and vegetables must always be covered with clear-sheet.
Sturdier Items (e.g., carrots) should be cut into regular-sized pieces..
Stir greens and vegetables at least once at the halfway point. Add a little salt only at the end.

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 clear-
sheet (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.
BROWNING
The foodstuffs most difficult to brown while being cooked in a microwave oven are usually cutlets, sca-
loppine, and chicken breasts. To obtain such a browning effect, however, you are advised to grease
the outer portion with butter (preferably combined with paprika). You will find on the market sauces
especially researched to give colour to foodstuffs cooked in a microwave oven. In each and every
case, you must allow the meats or fish to be browned to absorb some fatty and colouring substances.
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).

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Disconnect the plug from the socket before beginning any cleaning or maintenance operations.
Cleaning
To keep your microwave oven in the best condition, you are advised to clean regularly the door as
well as the interior and exterior with a damp cloth and neutral soap or liquid detergent. Always keep
the microwave outlet cover (F) free of fat or splashed grease. Never use abrasive detergents, scour-
ing pads or tools with metal rivets when you clean the oven’s exterior. In addition, be careful not to
let water or liquid detergent seep into the air and steam outlet slots located atop the oven. Do not
use ammonia-based detergents. We likewise recommend that you do not use alcohol, steel wool or
abrasive detergents to clean the inside and outside door surfaces in order to avoid scraches. To be
assured of perfect closing, always keep the inner portion of the oven door clean, being careful not to
let any dirt or food residue get caught between the door and the front of the oven.
Do not steam clean the inside of the oven.
Give a regular cleaning to the air intake holes found on the back of the oven so that they will not
become blocked up with dust or dirt deposits as time goes by.
Every now and then, it will be necessary to remove the turntable (D) and its support device (E) and
clean them, just as you must for the floor of the oven itself. Wash the turntable and its support device
in sudsy water obtained by using neutral soap (these pieces may likewise be cleaned in a dish-
washer). Never place the turntable in cold water after a prolonged heating session; the extreme
thermal shock could irreparably damage the turntable. The turntable motor is sealed tight. When
you are cleaning the floor of the oven, however, be careful not to let water seep under the turntable
spindle (B).
If something seems not to be working right…
If you should discover a flaw or defect, contact a Service Centre authorised by the manufacturer. In
any case, before calling our technicians, you should carry out the following simple checks:
