[. . . ] · We recommend that you heat foodstuffs (especially if they are frozen) to a temperature of at least 70° C. Leave to stand for a few 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 its 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 upside-down plate; - if possible, stir or turn the food over frequently so as to speed up the heating process and keep the heat uniform at the same time; - follow the cooking times listed with great 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. 42 GB-573886 17-12-2003 8:46 Pagina 43 Heating times Type SOFTENING FOOD · Chocolate/icing · Butter Quantity 100 gr 50 -70 gr therm. /grill knob MICROWAVE Power Timer knob (minutes) knob 4-5 Notes Put on a plate.

[. . . ] In addition, be careful not to let water or liquid detergent seep into the air outlet and steam slots located atop the appliance. We likewise recommend that you do not use alcohol, steel wool or abrasive detergents or ammonia-based detergents to clean the inside and outside door surfaces in order to avoid scraches. To assure perfect closing, always keep the inside of the door clean, and do not let dirt and food residue get caught between the door and the oven's façade. Clean the air inlet holes located on the back of the oven regularly so that no dust or dirt will build up over time to obstruct those holes. From time to time, it will be necessary to remove the turntable (H) and its support (I) and clean them, just as it will be necessary to clean the bottom of the oven. Wash the turntable and its support in sudsy water with neutral soap. [. . . ]
