FOOD PREPARATION

Danger of fire

Danger of injury
Porcelain and ceramic crockery can have small holes in the handles and cover.
There can be cavities hidden behind these holes. If water gets into these cavities, the crockery could break.
Do not use crockery that is unsuitable for microwave ovens.

Danger of burns
The heat of the food can heat the dish. Always use a pot holder to remove dishes and accessories from the cooking chamber.

MICROWAVE POWER AND DURATION

Danger of fire
Never set values that are too high for the microwave power or the cooking time. The food could catch fire and damage the appliance. Follow the rules in these instructions.

PACKAGING
Danger of fire

First Use

The oven should be thoroughly cleaned with soap and water and carefully rinsed. Heat the oven for about 30 minutes at the maximum temperature; this eliminates all the residual manufacturing oils that could cause unpleasant odours during cooking. Use the circular plus fan function without accessories in the oven. Before using the accessories for the first time, clean them carefully with a very hot alkaline washing solution and a soft cloth.

ASSEMBLING AND DISASSEMBLING THE FLAT GRILL
To remove the flat grill, pull the grill towards you until it stops and then lift, by pulling upwards, until it comes completely out. To put the flat grill back in, insert it at a 45-degree angle and then position it horizontally and push it all the way in to the end of the grill track. If the flat grill has a drip-pan (tray), to remove it, lift slightly and slide it towards you. To reinsert it, slide it back until it is correctly seated.

IMPORTANT
As a safety precaution, before cleaning the oven, always disconnect the plug from the outlet or remove the appliance’s power cord. In addition, avoid using acid or alkaline substances such as lemon, vinegar, salt, tomatoes, etc.). Avoid using products containing chlorine, acids or abrasives, especially for cleaning the painted walls.

For the Installer

INSTALL THE OVEN IN THE COUNTER
The oven must be installed under a cook top, in a column, or combined with the relative food-warmer drawer.
The dimensions of the space must be those shown in figure.
The cabinet material must be able to withstand the heat.
The oven must be centred within the walls of the cabinet and fixed with the screws and bushings that are provided.

TECHNICAL DATA

ELECTRICAL HOOK-UP
Before making the electrical hook-up, make sure that:

• the characteristics of the electrical system satisfy what is shown on the serial number plate applied to the front of the oven;
• the electrical system has an effect earth connection conforming to standards and current law.

The earth connection is required by law.
The cable must not, at any point, reach a temperature greater than 50 °C above the ambient temperature.
This oven must be connected to the supply by a supply cord fitted with an appropriately rated plug that is compatible with the socket-outlet fitted to the final sub-circuit in the fixed wiring that is intended to supply this oven.
If a fixed appliance does not have a power cord and plug, or another device that ensures disconnection from the mains, with an opening distance of the contacts that allows complete disconnection under the conditions of excessive voltage category III, such disconnection devices must be provided in the power supply mains conforming to the installation rules.
The omnipolar socket or switch must be easy to reach when the appliance is installed.
NOTE: The manufacturer declines all liability if the usual accident prevention standards and the above instructions are not followed.

Solving Traditional Baking Problems

With either Bake or Convection Bake, poor results can occur for many reasons other than a malfunction of the oven. Check the chart below for causes of the most common problems. Since the size, shape and material of baking utensils directly affect the baking results, the best solution may be to replace old baking utensils that have darkened and warped with age and use.
