For additional data, consult the serial plate glued to the back of the equipment. This appliance

conforms to EC directive 2004/108/EC on Electromagnetic Compatibility and EC regulation no.

1935/2004 of 27/10/2004 on materials intended for contact with food. The product is classified as

Group 2, Class B ISM equipment in conformity to standard EN 55011, paragraph 4.

Connect this equipment only to electrical outlets

having a capacity of at least 10A. Before using

this oven, check to make certain that the electri-

cal network is the same as that indicated on the

equipment’s data plate and that the electrical

outlet is connected to an efficient grounding

(earth) terminal. The manufacturer shall not be

responsible in any manner whatsoever for

harm or damage caused by failure to observe

this norm.

You can make use of all types of containers made

of glass (preferably Pyrex), ceramics, porcelain

and glazed pottery as long as they do not have

decorations or metal parts (gilded borders,

handles, feet). Heat resistant plastic containers

can also be used, but only for “Microwave Only”

cooking. If you are still doubtful about using a

particular container, you can perform a simple

test. Place the empty container in the oven for 30

seconds at maximum power (“Microwave Only”

function). If the container is still cold or only

slightly warm, it is suitable for microwave

cooking. If it is very hot or gives out sparks, it is

not suitable. For short heating periods, you may

use paper napkins, cardboard trays and plastic

“throwaway” plates as a base. As far as shape

and size are concerned, it is absolutely essential

that containers be such as to allow the turntable

to rotate. In order to use large-size rectangular

containers (which may not be able to rotate

inside the cooking cavity), you can remove the

spindle (B) from its housing to prevent the

turntable (D) moving. Bear in mind that to be

assured of good results when carrying this out

you must stir the food and turn the container

around several times during the cooking process.

Containers made of metal, wood, recycled

kitchen paper, cane and plate glass are not

suitable for use in microwave ovens. The metal

rack supplied with your microwave have been

fully tested for safe use. You should remember,

too, that since microwaves heat the food and not

the glassware, earthenware or similar containers

for that food, it is possible to cook such foods in

the serving dish and thereby avoid the problem

of having to clean pans later.

However, remember that heat may be transferred

from the food itself to the plate, making it neces-

sary to use an oven glove. In any case, observe

the guidelines shown in the following table:
