HSaefaedtyerand warnings

Important safety instructions

■

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. If damaged the oven should not be

used until repaired by an authorised person.

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.

Safety and waHrenaindgesr

Important safety instructions

■

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.

■

Do not use abrasive cleaning materials or hard

metal scrapers on the glass oven door, as this

could scratch the surface and cause the glass to

shatter.

Installation instructions

Important!

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.

Important!

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.

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.

Europe only:

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.

How your oven works

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.

Installation instructions

Before connection

Important!

■

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 ‘Warranty and service’ page.

If the power cable is damaged, it should be replaced by the manufacturer, its after-sales service

department or by a similarly qualified person on order to avoid danger.

Installation should only be performed by installers and qualified technicians.

Electrical specifications

■

Electrical connection rating: 3.4 kW

Voltage/frequency: 220-240 V / 50 Hz

Current: 16 A

Please verify electrical specifications by checking the appliance rating label.

Electrical connection

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.

The oven is connected to a single phase 220-240 V 50 Hz supply using a 1.5 mm²cable and

connected to earth. The supply must be protected by a suitably rated circuit breaker in

accordance with the installation regulations.

■

A suitable isolating switch providing full disconnection from the mains power supply is

incorporated in the permanent wiring, mounted and positioned to comply with the local wiring

rules and regulations. The isolating switch must be of an approved type and provide a 3 mm air

gap contact separation in all poles (or in all active [phase] conductors if the local wiring rules

allow for this variation of the requirements)

The isolating switch will be easily accessible to the customer with the oven installed.

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 disconnected from the power supply; fuses must

be cut off or removed.

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, disconnect it from the power supply or remove the fuse for

the oven’s connection line.

Installation instructions

Two installation options:

Option ‘A’ - oven only (overall height 457 mm)

Option ‘B’ - oven + lower trim kit accessory

(overall height 478 mm)

Note: If you are installing an appliance directly

over another, you have the option of using the

modification for you to connect your appliance, contact a qualified electrician. If the oven

presents any anomaly, disconnect it from the power supply or remove the fuse from the oven

connection line.

Installation instructions

Installation alignment

The diagrams below explain how to achieve the correct and proper alignment of visual elements

of the product should it be necessary. This also allows you to align visual elements across

products if this product is installed alongside other companian products.

Inspect the product to check if the gaps are correct

■

There should be a minimum 5 mm gap at the base of the product (ie from the bottom of the

door glass to the shelf). The product can be raised or lowered to achieve this gap by adjusting

the two small feet at the front of the product with a 7 mm spanner.

5 mm

■

There should be a 5 mm gap between the top of the door glass and the bottom of the control

panel. The control panel can be raised or lowered to achieve this gap by first loosening the two

screws on either side of the product with a tamper proof torx 20 Screwdriver. Once the control

panel is adjusted to suit, ensure the screws are fully tightened again and the panel does not

move. This adjustment also allows you to visually align the product incase the cabinetry is not

square.

Important!

If adjusting the product height or the control panel (or both), ensure the overall product height

still allows the product to be installed into the preconfined cabinetry space.

Do not lower the control panel so much that it touches or interferes with the door.

Begin cooking the quiche as soon as the filling has been poured

into the pastry case.

Never let the pastry soak or it will not cook properly.

Using your appliance

Defrosting

Using your microwave oven to defrost frozen vegetables lets you save a lot of time. To defrost

food, use the DEFROST function, set to a power level of 200W.

Note: small cuts of meat or fish can be cooked immediately after defrosting. Larger cuts, such as

meat joints or whole fish will still be slightly frozen at the end of the defrost programme.

We recommend that you let them sit for at least as long a time as they spent in the defrost

programme, so that they reach an even temperature.

Foods covered with ice crystals will take longer to defrost. In this case, you can increase the

defrost time.

Recommendations:

The defrost time depends on the type of appliance. It also depends on the shape, size, initial

temperature and quality of the food.

In most cases, food should be removed from its packaging. Remember to remove any metal

staples from packaging.

Halfway through the defrost time, the pieces should be turned over, stirred and then separated if

they were frozen together.

If you defrost large pieces of meat or fish that prevent the rotation of the turntable, use the Stop

Turntable function. If that case, remember to stir food regularly.

Defrost meat and fish by placing it on an upside-down saucer placed on top of a plate. This will

allow juices to flow out. If they remain in contact with the food, it will overheat.

Never refreeze food, unless it has been cooked.

Length of defrost programmes:

The times for defrosting programmes are based on food frozen at -18°C. This gives you an

indication of the required defrosting time, but the actual time can vary, depending on the

thickness, shape, size and packaging of the food.

Choosing a programme:

The following automatic defrosting programmes are available:

Grill function

This function lets you cook and brown foods such as gratinated dishes and meats.

Important!

When using the grill, you must protect your hands when removing dishes and use heat-resistant

cookware, such as Pyrex or ceramic.

There are two grill functions: Medium and high and three levels for each function: -1- 2- 3-.

As a general rule, it is recommended that you use level -3- to grill meats and fish and the levels

-1- and -2- with the GRILL FUNCTION (medium or high) plus MICROWAVE mode to brown or crisp

more delicate food.

Insert the rack based on the height of the cookware or the food.

Use a microwave-safe, heat-resistant dish, earthenware for preference (fewer splashes than with

a glass dish). Put the food in a dish and place it on the shelf inserted at level 1. Turn the food

over midway through the programme. Where possible, cook roasts without barding fat to reduce

smoke and grease splashes. After cooking, season the roast, wrap it in aluminium foil and let it

rest for 10 minutes. The roast will be juicier.

Note: the cooking time may be adjusted at any time simply by pressing

You can preheat your microwave oven for a heat circulation cooking programme just as you

would a traditional oven.

Recommendations:

The cooking temperature can be adjusted in increments of 10°C, from 50°C to 250°C.

The cooking time ranges from 0 to 599 minutes (9 h 59 min) . It is preferable to enter a minimum

time and then to add time if necessary; keep an eye on the colour of the food.

Always insert the accessories (rack or glass tray) at level 1 or 2. This will ensure better heat

distribution and optimum cooking results.

Use cookware designed to withstand high temperatures.

Protect your hands when you remove the dish because it may be very hot.

If you want to defrost food after using the heat circulation function, we recommend that you let

your oven cool down for 10 minutes first; this will give you better results.

Cooking on two levels:

To cook two apples tarts at the same time, 1 hour at 200°C. We recommend preparing the first

tart in the glass drip tray inserted at level 1 and the second in a tart dish on the shelf inserted at

level 3. Change the position of the two dishes half-way through cooking.

Care and cleaning

It is recommended that you regularly clean your oven and remove any food debris on the inside

and outside of the appliance.

Use a damp, soapy sponge. If the appliance is not cleaned regularly, its surface could become

damaged, permanently affecting the appliance’s lifespan and possibly causing a safety hazard.

Important!

If the door or door hinge are damaged, the oven should not be used until it has been repaired by

an authorised person.

Do not use a steam cleaner.

The use of abrasive products, alcohol or thinner is not recommended, as they may damage the

appliance.

In case of odour or encrusted dirt, boil water with lemon juice and vinegar in a cup for two

minutes and clean the insides with a small amount of washing-up liquid.

The turntable can be removed to facilitate cleaning. To do so, lift it using the access areas

provided. If you remove the turning gear, do not let water enter the the motor shaft hole.

Remember to replace the turning gear, wheel guide and turntable.
