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:
