1/ NOTICES TO THE USER
Important
:
Important safety instructions - Read
carefully and retain for future use. If the
appliance is ever sold or given to another
person, ensure that the new owner receives
the accompanying guide. Please read these
guidelines before installing and using your
appliance. They were written for your safety
and the safety of others.
•SAFETY GUIDELINES
This appliance is not intended for use by
individuals (including children) with impaired
physical, sensorial or mental abilities, or
persons lacking in knowledge or experience,
unless they receive prior supervision or
instructions on using the appliance from a
person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure they
do not play with the appliance.
This appliance is designed to cook with the
door closed.
WARNING: It is dangerous for anyone other
than a qualified person to perform maintenance
or repair that requires the removal of the cover
providing protection against exposure to
microwave power.
WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be
heated in sealed containers, as they may
explode.
Only use utensils suitable for usage in
microwave ovens.
When heating food items in plastic or paper
containers, monitor the microwave’s contents
due to the risk of combustion.
If smoke appears, stop or unplug the oven and
leave the door closed to stifle any flames
present.
Heating beverages in the microwave oven can
cause the sudden and/or delayed splattering of
boiling liquid, so care must be taken when
handling their containers.
The contents of baby bottles and baby food
jars must be stirred or rearranged and the
temperature must be checked before
consumption, so as to prevent burns.
It is not recomended to heat eggs in their
shells or whole hardboiled eggs in a
microwave oven, as they may explode, even
after cooking has ended.
WARNING: Only allow children to use the
oven without supervision if adequate
instructions have been given so that the
child is able to use the oven safely and
understands the dangers of incorrect use.
Your appliance is solely intended for
domestic use for cooking, reheating and
defrosting food. The manufacturer does not
accept any liability in the event of
inappropriate use.
To avoid damaging your appliance, never
operate it while empty or without the
turntable.
Do not interfere with the openings on the lock
on the front of the appliance; this could
cause damage to your appliance that would
require a service callout.
The seal and frame of the door must be
regularly examined to ensure that they
have not become damaged.
In microwave mode, it is not recommended
to use metallic cookware, forks, spoons,
knives or metal staples or fasteners for
defrosting bags.
Never heat a baby bottle with the teat on, as
it may explode.
Always use oven gloves to remove dishes
from the oven. Some dishes absorb the
heat from food and are therefore very hot.
When heating small quantities (a sausage, a
croissant, etc.) place a glass of water next
to the food.
Excessive cooking times may dry out food
and burn it. To prevent this occurring,
never use the same times recommended
for cooking in a conventional oven.

EN
1/ NOTICES TO THE USER
The microwaves used for cooking are
electromagnetic waves. They are commonly
found in our environment in the form of radio
waves, light and infrared rays.
Their frequency is in the 2450 MHz range.
Their behaviour:
• They are reflected by metals.
• They travel through all other materials.
• They are absorbed by water, fat and
sugar molecules.
When food is exposed to microwaves its
molecules begin moving rapidly, causing it to
heat up.
The penetration depth of waves into the food
is approximately 2.5 cm; if the food is thicker,
the centre of the food will be cooked by
conduction, as in conventional cooking.
Note that microwaves cause a simple
thermal phenomenon within food and are not
harmful to health.

•HOW YOUR OVEN WORKS
•PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
This appliance’s packaging materials are
recyclable. Please recycle them and help
protect the environment by depositing them in
municipal containers provided for this
purpose.
Your appliance also contains
various recyclable materials. It is
therefore marked with this logo to
indicate that used appliances must not be
mixed with other waste. The appliance
recycling organised by your manufacturer will
therefore be conducted in optimum
conditions, in accordance with European
directive 2002/96/EC on electrical and
electronic equipment waste. Consult your
local authority or your retailer to locate your
nearest used appliance drop-off points.
Thank you for your help in protecting the
environment.
WARNING: The accessible parts of the
appliance may become hot during use. Be
careful not to touch the heating elements
located inside the oven.
It is advisable to keep small children away
from the appliance.
WARNING: If the appliance is being used in
combination mode, it is recommended that
children only use the oven under adult
supervision due to the temperatures
generated.

2/ INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE
Warning:
Ensure that your appliance has not
suffered any damage during transport (bent
door or seal, etc.). If you notice any kind of
damage, contact your retailer before using
the appliance.
In order to easily locate the make, model
number, etc. of your appliance, we
recommend that you note this information on
the “After-Sales Service Department and
Customer Support” page.
Ensure that:
- The electrical installation has sufficient voltage.
- The electrical wires are in good condition.
- The diameter of the wires complies with the
installation requirements.
- Your electrical installation is equipped with
16-ampere thermal-sensitive protection.
If in doubt, consult your electrician.
Electrical connections should be completed
before the appliance is placed in the wall unit.
The appliance must be recess-fitted correctly
to ensure electrical safety. During recess
fitting and maintenance operations, the
appliance must be unplugged from the
socket; fuses must be cut off or removed.
The plug must remain accessible after the
appliance is installed.
Your electrical installation should include an
accessible feature that allows users to
disconnect the power supply.
If the power cable is damaged, it should be
replaced by the manufacturer, its after-sales
service or a similarly qualified person so as to
prevent a hazard.
Important:
We cannot accept liability for any
accident or incident resulting from non-
existant, defective or incorrect grounding.
If the oven malfunctions in any way, unplug
the appliance or remove the fuse for the
oven’s connection line.

automatic defrost programs
The appliance has automatic defrost programs. Once you have
selected the defrost program you want, all you have to do is set the
weight of the food. The appliance calculates the defrosting time
itself.

programs.

2
) Cover the tail with aluminium foil before defrosting. Make sure
that the aluminium foil cannot come into contact with the walls of
the microwave oven!
Place the unwrapped, frozen food on an upturned plate. Place the
plate in the oven dish, so that any liquid that defrosts can drain away.
Place bread between two sheets of undecorated kitchen paper.
When defrosting, remember to keep to the recommended 'rest'
times (rule of thumb: defrost time = rest time).
Halfway through the defrosting time, a signal will be heard. The food
can be turned. If possible, divide the food into smaller pieces.
Remove parts that have already defrosted.
