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. 30 GB 13-12-2001 11:06 Pagina 31 Heating times Upper knob MICROWAVE Type SOFTENING FOOD · Chocolate/icing · Butter Quantity Lower knob (minutes) 5-6 0'. 7"-0'. 12" Notes 100 gr 50 -70 gr Put on a plate. 5/8°C) UP TO 20/30°C · Yoghurt · Baby's bottle 125 gr 240 gr " " 0'. 12"-0'. 17" Remove metal foil.

[. . . ] To ensure 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 warm soapy water with neutral soap. Do not place the turntable in cold water after the oven has been hot for a long time. When you are cleaning the bottom of the oven, however, be careful not to let water seep under the turntable spindle (D). 38 GB 13-12-2001 11:06 Pagina 39 If something seems not to be working just right . . . . .
