Page 13: General Rules / Suggestions For Using The Oven
Therefore cooking in a microwave oven is considered to be healthy and good for one’s diet. And in con- trast to traditional methods, cooking in a microwave foodstuffs are less dehydrated, lose less of their nutri- tional value, and retain more of their original flavour. -

Page 20: Introduction
3.1 - INTRODUCTION The pasta cooker accessory can be used to cook all types of pasta, maintaining its nutritional value. This new and exclusive system reduces cooking time and simplifies preparation, avoiding the need to add the pasta once the water has come to the boil, mix it during cooking or raise the cover to avoid the foam boiling over. - Page 21 Level the pasta by shaking the container gently. Pour in the water (*) required to cover the pasta com- pletely until it reaches one of the two levels (L1 or L2) on the mixer as shown in the pictures below: •...
- Page 22 Add salt (10 g. salt for each liter of water) and cover the container with the cover. Make sure the hatch is free to open. Place inside the oven, making sure the handles are facing the door as shown in the figure.

Page 23: Important Warnings
The oven will automatically calculate the TOTAL time required to heat the water and complete cooking. This will be immediately displayed. At the start of cooking, the mixer is stationary. It begins rotating automatically about halfway through cooking. One minute from the end, the oven will emit a "beep". This indicates that the time is nearly over and you are recommended to remove the container and taste the pasta (through door). -

CHAPTER 4 – USING THE OVEN: SUGGESTIONS AND COOK CHARTS 4.1 DEFROSTING • Frozen food in plastic bags, plastic film or cardboard packets can be placed directly in the oven for defrosting as long as the packet has no metal parts (e.g. metal twist ties or staples). •... -
Page 25: Reheating
4.2 REHEATING Reheating food is one of the modes in which your microwave oven displays all its usefulness and efficiency. Compared to traditional methods, using a microwave obviously saves time and therefore electricity. • It is advisable to reheat food (especially if it is frozen) to a temperature of at least 70°C (it must be piping hot). This means the food will not be ready to eat immediately because it is too hot!) but it will be completely sterilised. -
Page 26: Cooking Starters, Pasta And Entrees
Salt must be added only at the end of cooking or during standing time as it dehydrates the food. It is fair to say that the time needed to cook rice in the microwave oven (as indeed for pasta) is more or less equal to that needed to cook it on a stove in the traditional manner. -
Page 27: Cooking Side Dishes And Vegetables
4.5 - COOKING SIDE DISHES AND VEGETABLES Vegetables cooked in a microwave oven preserve their colour and nutritional value better than in traditional cooking. Wash and peel the vegetables before starting to cook. Larger vegetables should be cut into evenly-sized pieces. -
Page 28: Cooking Fish
4.6 - COOKING FISH Fish cooks very quickly and with excellent results. It can be dressed with a little butter or oil (or even left without). Cover it with transparent film. Naturally if it has its skin, this must be scored or cut; the fillets should be arranged evenly. -

Page 32: Care And Cleaning
CARE AND CLEANING Always switch off at the power socket, disconnect the plug and wait for the appliance to cool down, before any cleaning and maintenance is car- ried out. The internal cavity of your oven is covered with a special non-stick finish to which splashes and food particles do not stick, making cleaning particularly sim- ple. -
