[. . . ] 1) This oven has been designed to defrost, reheat and cook food in the home. It must not be used for any other purpose, nor modified or tampered with in any way. Before connecting the oven to the mains, check to be certain that the door closes tightly. Also check that the metal frame is not warped and that the hinges and hooks have not loosened. [. . . ] · This mode is activated only if it is carried out within 1 minute after the food has been placed in the oven. Once the cooking procedure has begun, the programmed time can be modified with the Time (14) knob to a maximum time limit of 60 minutes. 2. 6 CHILD LOCK-OUT FEATURE The oven is equipped with a safety device which prevents pre-set cooking times from being tampered with while the cooking is underway, in order to avoid accidental and dangerous extensions to the cooking time which might cause the food to burn. To activate the safety device: · Keep the Stop Clear key (12) pressed down for 5 seconds. · A short beep is emitted: from this point it will no longer be possible to alter the times during all cooking. · In order to deactivate the safety device once it has been previously activated, keep the Stop Clear key (12) pressed until the beep is heard. 2. 7 TURNTABLE STOP KEY When using large sized containers/recipients (or containers with handles) that are not able to rotate, the movement of the turntable can be stopped. Press the Turntable Stop key (15), after having first set a cooking function: the LED in the top right will start flashing. After having pressed Start, the LED will flash a further 5 times, and will then remain on for the entire set time; for best results, the food should be mixed/stirred a number of times during cooking. The Turntable Stop function will remain on the next time the oven is used, that is until the Turntable Stop key is pressed again. For the microwave-only function, the maximum power available is 750W (reduced automatically by the electronic controller when pressing the Turntable Stop key). 2. 8 "MEMOTIME" FUNCTION This function allows for the use of the timer, with the oven NOT functioning, for up to 60 minutes. · Press the Function key until 3 dashes appear on display 2, then select the time desired by turning the Time (14) knob and start the timer by pressing the Start (13) key. · At the end, 3 beeps will sound and the "end" warning will appear on display 1. 70°C 1000 400 gr 5-7 · Packet of lasagne or " stuffed pasta " 400 gr 4-6 · Packet of meat with rice " and/or vegetables " 300 gr 2-4 · Packet of pre-cooked fish " and/or vegetables " 300 gr 6-8 · Packet of fish and/or raw " vegetables " 5-7 400 gr · Portion of meat and/or vegetables " " 6-8 400 gr · Portion of pasta, cannelloni " or lasagne " 3-5 300 gr · Portion of fish and/or rice " CHILLED DRINKS (5/8°C) up to approx. 70°C 1000 " " " " " " " DRINKS AT ROOM TEMPERATURE From 20/30°C up to approx. 70°C 1000 180 cc · 1 cup of water " " 150 cc · 1 cup of milk " " 100 cc · 1 cup of coffee " " 300 cc · 1 bowl of clear soup " ·1 ·1 ·1 ·1 cup of water cup of milk cup of coffee bowl of clear soup 180 150 100 300 cc cc cc cc Packets of any type of pre-cooked food available in the shops, to be reheated to 70°C.
