CHAPTER 1 – GENERAL
1.1 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 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 heat-
ing has ended.
4) WARNING: 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) IMPORTANT: 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 accumu-
late between the front panel of the oven on the door.
8) The following warnings must be considered when the door is open: Do not place heavy object on the door
or pull the handle downwards any further as the appliance may tip over. Never place hot containers or
pans (e.g. just taken off the stove) on the door.
9) In the case that the power cable becomes damaged, this must be substituted only by specialised personnel
authorised by the manufacturer.
10)If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and KEEP THE DOOR CLOSED in order to stifle
any flames.
11)Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens. In order to avoid overheating and the con-
sequent 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.
12)Never place the turntable in water after it has ben heated for a long time. The high thermal shock result-
ing would break the turntable.
13)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.
14)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").
15)During the use the appliance becomes hot. Do not touch the heating elements inside the oven.
16)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. Any-
