Important:
Important safety instructions - Read care-
fully and retain for future use. If the appliance
is ever sold or given to another person, ensure
that the new owner receives the accompa-
nying guide. Please read these guidelines
before installing and using your appliance.
They were written for your safety and the saf-
ety of others.
•SAFETY GUIDELINES
This appliance is not intended for use by indivi-
duals (including children) with impaired physi-
cal, sensorial or mental abilities, or persons lac-
king 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 micro-
wave power.
WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be
heated in sealed containers, as they may explo-
de.
Only use utensils suitable for usage in microwa-
ve 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 pre-
sent.
Heating beverages in the microwave oven can
cause the sudden and/or delayed splattering of
boiling liquid, so care must be taken when hand-
ling their containers.
The contents of baby bottles and baby food
jars must be stirred or rearranged and the
temperature must be checked before con-
sumption, so as to prevent burns.
It is not recomended to heat eggs in their
shells or whole hardboiled eggs in a micro-
wave 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 domes-
tic 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 turn-
table.
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 elec-
tromagnetic 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 ther-
mal phenomenon within food and are not
harmful to health.

•HOW YOUR OVEN WORKS
•PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
This appliance’s packaging materials are recy-
clable. Please recycle them and help protect
the environment by depositing them in muni-
cipal containers provided for this purpose.

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 condi-
tions, in accordance with European directive
2002/96/EC on electrical and electronic
equipment waste. Consult your local authori-
ty 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 super-
vision due to the temperatures generated.

•DEFROSTING
Defrosting frozen foods in your microwave
oven saves you considerable time. To defrost
food, use the MICROWAVE function power
level .
What you need to know: :
• Small pieces of meat or fish may be cooked
immediately after defrosting. It is to be expec-
ted that large pieces such as meat roasts or
whole fish will still be slightly frozen. We
recommend leaving them to stand for a per-
iod at least equal to the defrosting time in
order to obtain a uniform temperature.
• Food covered with ice crystals will take lon-
ger to defrost. In this case, you will need to
increase the defrosting time.
Recommendations:
• Defrosting time varies according to the
type of appliance. It also depends on the
shape, size, initial temperature and quality
of the food.
• Remember to remove metal fasteners from
packaging.
• Most foods need to be removed from their
packaging.
• Halfway through defrosting, the pieces must
be turned, mixed or broken apart if they are
stuck together.
• If you are defrosting large pieces of meat
or fish which prevent the turntable from
revolving, use the stop turntable function.
In this case, turn the food regularly.
• Defrost meat and fish on an upside down
saucer on top of another plate so that the
juice runs off. If it remains in contact with
the food, it will begin cooking.
• Never refreeze food before cooking it.
Cooking times:
Cooking times are calculated for foods frozen
at -18°C.
They are given for information only; they may
vary according to the thickness, shape, size
and packaging of the food.

6/IN THE EVENT OF OPERATING ANOMALIES
We recommend that you clean the oven regu-
larly and remove any food deposits inside and
outside the appliance. Use a damp, soapy
sponge. If the appliance is not kept clean, its
surface may become damaged and this will
considerably shorten its lifespan and cause a
dangerous situation. If the door or seal are
damaged, the oven must not be used until
repaired by a qualified person.
Do not clean the appliance with a steam
cleaner.
The use of abrasive products, alcohol or sol-
vents is not recommended; they are likely to
damage the appliance.
If the oven smells unpleasant or is encrusted
with dirt, boil a cup of water with lemon juice
for 2 minutes and clean the sides with a little
washing-up liquid.
The turntable may be removed for easier
cleaning. To remove it, grasp it by the access
areas provided for this purpose. If you
remove the driver, avoid getting any water in
the motor axis hole.
Remember to put back the driver, the base
rollers and the turntable.
If you have a query concerning the operation of your appliance, this does not necessarily mean
that there is a breakdown. In all events, check the following points:
You notice that What should I do?
The appliance does not switch on.
Check that the appliance is properly connected.
Check that the oven door is properly closed.
The appliance is noisy.
The turntable does not revolve properly.
Clean the rollers and the roller area under the
turntable.
Check that the rollers are correctly positioned.
You notice steam on the glass. Wipe off the condensation with a cloth.
The food is not heated in the microwave
programme.
Check that the utensils are suitable for use
with microwave ovens and that the power
level is appropriate.
The appliance produces sparks.
Clean the appliance thoroughly: remove
grease, cooking particles, etc.
Make sure no metal objects are close to the
oven walls.
