[. . . ] The time will be displayed for about three seconds. · You can open the door to check on cooking at any time. If you open the door during cooking, the microwave unit switches off. To resume cooking, close the door and press START/Quick reheat button (6). If cooking must be stopped for any reason, this can be done without opening the door by pressing the STOP/CANCEL button (9). · To finish cooking, proceed as follows: - if the door is open, press the STOP button (8) once; - if the oven is operating, press the STOP button (8) twice; - if the oven is off and the door is closed, press the STOP button (8) once. 37 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. 38 Heating times NB: Certain dishes can also be easily heated using the AUTOCOOK functions (see page 47).

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 or abrasive detergents to clean internal surfaces and in particular the outside of the door is not recommended in order to avoid scratches and lines. Always keep the inside of the door clean to ensure that it closes properly. [. . . ]
