Check that the supply voltage marked on the type label glued on the rear
of the appliance matches the voltage of your supply. The label indicates
the nominal supply voltage of the appliance, e.g. 220-230 V.
Ensure that the current marked on your electricity meter and circuit brea-
ker/fuse is at least 16 Amperes.
Finally, for proper safety, it is essential to connect your appliance to an
outlet socket with an earth connection in accordance with electrical instal-
lation regulations and standards.
Position the appliance in such a way that the supply socket is readily acces-
sible so that it can be easily disconnected.

Position
Your appliance can be installed in one of two ways :
•On a work-top : position the appliance on a flat and stable surface,
capable of supporting the oven and its contents. The oven must be
handled with care, remembering that the control panel side is the
heavier.
•In a niche : The niche must be at least 85 cm above floor-level. Centre
the appliance in the niche so that it does not touch the sidewalls.
Adequate ventilation is essential: the minimum clearances are 20 cm
above the oven and 10 cm at the sides and rear.
Install the appliance away from any source of heat such as a traditional oven
or radiator. It has been design and tested for use in ambient temperatures up
to 35°C.

Important safety instructions
Instructions for use
Read carefully and keep for future reference.
1. Your appliance is for domestic use. It is intended only for cooking, hea-
ting and defrosting foods and drinks. Use it only for these purposes.
The following recommendations will help you get the greatest benefit
from using your oven. Please read them carefully.
Foods
2. Do not allow children to use the appliance without supervision in
particular in the combination mode due to the temperatures generated.
GB
Forbidden foods
You should never :
Beware of the risk of burns.
• Attempt to fry food – it is impossible to control the temperature of the
oil and other fats – fire-risk,
• Attempt to cook or warm up eggs in their shells, hard-boiled eggs or
snails – they may explode,
• Attempt to cook food in an intact shell (e.g. chestnuts) or hard skin
(tomatoes, potatoes, sausages) – always make a slit.
3. Avoid touching any surfaces that may have become hot during opera-
tion of your oven: the door, the grill element, the inner walls, the top.
In order to avoid burns when removing containers and accessories
from the oven, always use oven gloves.
4. Do not operate your appliance when empty. This can cause damage. To try
out programming the appliance, place a glass of water in the oven. This will
absorb the microwaves and protect your oven against damage.
Food temperatures
The action of microwaves is such that only the food is heated. The
container may, therefore, remain cold or cool while the food that it
contains is burning hot.
5. The door must be free to close properly :
Do not obstruct the door in any way (with oven cloths, oven gloves, over-size
dishes etc.). If the door of your appliance is not properly closed, a safety
mechanism will prevent its being turned on.
To avoid any risk of burning, always stir and check the temperature care-
fully before serving – especially to children.
6. When cooking in grill mode, any fat splashing the grill element may
catch fire. These flames will extinguish themselves and will not have any
adverse effect on your appliance if it is regularly maintained.
Shake feeding bottles well and try a few drops on the back of your wrist to
check the temperature.
Preparing food for cooking
To avoid fat spitting during cooking, especially when cooking meats
and poultry, use dishes in glazed earthenware. Always maintain a
minimum gap of 2 cm between the food and the grill element.
Before warming feeding bottles and small pots, remove teats and covers.
Remember to cover the food in order to :
• Avoid any splashing of the oven cavity,
• Retain sufficient moisture for cooking.
7. Never obstruct the ventilation holes. This can cause the oven to over-
heat. If this happens, your appliance will stop automatically and will not
start again until it has cooled sufficiently.
Heating liquids
When heating liquids, a sudden overflow may occur when you take the
container to remove it from the appliance. In fact, when the temperature
reaches boiling point, steam tends to remain trapped in the liquid until it
is disturbed.
To avoid this superheating effect and the consequent risk of scalding,
always place a plastic spoon in the liquid to be heated.
8. Precautions against exposure to microwaves:
• Never attempt to operate your appliance with the door open, to inter-
fere with the safety door-locking mechanism or to insert anything in this
mechanism,
• Never place anything in the way of opening and closing the door,
• Never allow food or cleaning product residues to accumulate on the
door seals, ensure that the door and its seals remain clean, after use,
wipe them with a damp cloth and dry them carefully,
• It is particularly important that the oven door should close correctly and
that there is no defect in the door, the seals, the hinges or the supply
cable.
Containers and materials
Below, you will find details of the various types of containers, which can be
or must not be used for the chosen cooking method.
microwave mode
Use containers suitable for microwave cooking.
A container can easily be tested for microwave “transparency”.
Never use your oven if it is damaged.
In no case should your oven be adjusted or repaired by anyone other
than a qualified microwave appliance repair technician, trained by
the manufacturer.
13
Place the empty container on the turntable together with a glass of
water and run the oven for one minute at maximum power.
After one minute:
Summary of containers and materials permitted and not permitted in
microwave mode.
• If the container is cold, it is “transparent” and can be used for micro-
wave cooking,
• If the container is warm or hot it is absorbent and must not be used
for microwave cooking.

Cooking time
To determine the right cooking time for your foods, follow the instruc-
tions on the packaging of ready-made dishes and deep-frozen products.
2. Set the power with the power/mode
selector switch.
In the absence of any precise indication, divide the cooking or reheating
time given for a conventional oven by at least three.
In any case, refer to the cooking guide included in these instructions.
450 W
800 W
650 W
GB
(defrosting)
150 W
Do not programme a cooking time longer than necessary. You will
then avoid any risk of overcooking or setting fire to your food.
Resting time
Microwaves act close to the surface and penetrate food to a depth of 2 to
3 cm. Once the surface layers are hot, heat penetrates to the centre of the
food by conduction, i.e. the hot parts heat the cold parts. This makes it a
good idea to allow the food to rest after removing it from the microwave
so that the heat can penetrate to the centre.
3. Set the cooking time with the time
selector switch.
To set times under 1 minute, turn the times knob to 2 minutes and
then back to the desired time.
This makes it a good idea to allow the food to rest after removing it
from the microwave so that the heat can penetrate to the centre.
4. When the cooking time is selected, the oven will start automatical-
ly. The internal lighting will be switched on and the turntable will
rotate.
The various cooking modes
Defrosting
Your oven can be used to cook, reheat or defrost all kinds of food. You
have the choice of 3 cooking modes:
1. Place the food at the centre of the turntable and close the door.
2. Set the power selector switch to

Reheating
Adjusting time and power
After heating liquids, it is advisable to leave the container to stand in the
oven for at least 20 seconds. This allows the heat to spread through the
liquid and minimised any risk of overflow and scalding. Stir the liquid
during and after heating.
You can change the power or cooking time during cooking time by means
of the appropriate selector switch. The oven will automatically use the new
setting for the remaining cooking time.

Cooking with microwaves
Ensure that the food does not start to cook during defrosting. If any part
of the food should begin to cook, cover it with a small piece of aluminium
foil to screen it from the microwaves. If the surface of poultry becomes
warm, stop defrosting, leave to stand for 20 minutes before recommen-
cing.
•Cooking guide for fresh vegetables
Use a Pyrex container, suitable for microwaves. Pour in 2 to 3 tablespoons
of cold water for every 250 g of vegetables (unless otherwise indicated in
the table below). Add the vegetables and cover. Stir once during cooking.
At the end of cooking, stir thoroughly, add salt, herbs or butter and cover
while resting.
The table below applies for frozen food at a temperature between -18 °C
and -20 °C.
For best results, chop the fresh vegetables.
