NB: This oven has been designed to defrost, heat and cook food in the home. [. . . ] When the bread is just soft to the touch, set the GRILL only function for 3-4 minutes. Place the bread directly on the turntable. (*) These indications are suitable for performing the minced meat defrosting test according to standard no. Turn the food being cooked over halfway through the set cooking time. Rest the food to be defrosted directly on the turntable. Further information, including on other performance tests according to standard no. 60705, is given in the table on page 2. 35 USING THE MICROWAVE ONLY FUNCTION TO WARM FOOD When used to heat up food, your microwave oven shows off its usefulness and efficiency to the full. With respect to traditional methods, a microwave saves you time and, therefore, also electricity. · You are recommended to heat food (particularly if frozen) to a temperature of at least 70°C (it must be piping hot!). You will not be able to eat the food at once as it will be too hot, but complete sterilisation will be guaranteed. · Always follow these rules for reheating cooked or frozen foods: - remove the food from metal containers; - Cover the food with clear film (use microwave resistant film) or greaseproof paper. This keeps the flavour in and the oven clean. You can even use an overturned plate to cover food. - if possible, mix or turn frequently to make the heating process quicker and more even. - use extreme caution when following times indicated on packaging. Remember that in certain conditions, these times may have to be increased; · Frozen food must be defrosted before heating starts. The lower the initial temperature of the food, the longer the time required for heating. · Food and beverages may be heated for short periods in paper or plastic containers. However, if the cooking time is too long, these containers may distort. 36 Heating times Type SOFTENING · Chocolate/icing · Butter Quantity Programme selector knob Timer knob Notes 100 gr 50 -70 gr 5 - 6 Put on a plate.

Check the temperature of the contents before consuming. If the milk is at room temperature, shorten the time indicated slightly. If you use powdered milk, mix well as residual powder could catch fire. [. . . ] Always keep the microwave outlet cover (C) free from grease or splashes of fat. Do not use abrasives, steel wool or sharp metal utensils to clean the outside of the oven. Do not allow water or liquid detergent to penetrate the air and steam outlet vents on the top of the appliance. Use of alcohol, steel wool, abrasive detergents or ammonia-based detergents to clean internal surfaces and in particular the door is not recommended in order to avoid scratches and lines. [. . . ]
