IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS
Read carefully these instructions and keep for future reference
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. [. . . ] · It is possible to access the time of day even while the oven is operating. · You can check on the progress whenever you please by opening the door and taking a close look at the food. The microwave energy will automatically stop but it will start again when you close the door and push the Start button (16). · If for any reason whatsoever it becomes necessary to interrupt the cooking without opening the oven door, simply push the Stop/Clear button (10). · To stop the cooking, instead, do as follows: - if the over door is open, push the Stop/Clear button (10) once; - if the oven is operating, push the Stop/Clear button (10) twice; - if the oven is turned off and its door closed, push the Stop/Clear button (10) once. · The cooking time and microwave power can be changed even after you have pushed the Start button (16) to activate the function desired.

This function enables you to keep food hot, whether that food be just cooked or re-heated, without it drying out or sticking to its container and is suitable for most foods. Selecting the "1" power level and covering the food with a plate or plastic film, you will find that foods will remain warm up to serving time. You can leave foods in their cooking container if they are covered.

Heating food in a microwave oven is much quicker and energy efficient than traditional methods. · We recommend that you heat foods (especially if they are frozen) to a temperature of at least 70° C. Leave to stand for a ten minutes as you will not be able to eat that food immediately because it will be too hot. · This will ensure that any possible bacteria present in food will have been killed. · To heat pre-cooked or frozen foods, follow these rules: - remove the food from any metal containers; - cover it with plastic wrap (the clear-film type suitable for microwave ovens) or wax paper; in this way, all the food's natural flavour will be preserved and the oven will stay cleaner; you may also cover the food with an up turned plate; - if possible, stir or turn the food over frequently so as to speed up the heating process and to keep the heat uniform; - follow the cooking times listed with caution; remember that under certain conditions the timings given must be lengthened · Frozen foods must be defrosted before the heating process begins. The lower the food's initial temperature, the longer the time needed for heating. · Foodstuffs and drinks may be heated briefly in paper or plastic containers. In any event, however, such containers may become misshapen if the heating time is too long.
