Hi Toria, If there is a noise and an electrical smell coming from the microwave, then for safety reasons please do not use the microwave until it has been checked. It is difficult to determine the issue without seeing the microwave. It would be best to give Arisit Technical Support a call on 1300 762 219 to see if a technician can figure out what the problem is. Regards

Not sure - refer to this Australian link for Ariston. I note below that a Ariston rep often answers a lot of questions & may be able to assist as well - external link 

Hi Anna, These Ariston microwaves have been discontinued, but there still may be some around in stores. If you are after a freestanding microwave-grill, Whirlpool has a range of microwaves that are very similar to the Ariston ones. external link  Regards

Hi Karen, This model is discontinued so it may be difficult to find in stores. However, Whirlpool has a range of counter-top microwaves that you may want to consider. external link  Regards

Hi Liz, This microwave is manufactured in China. Regards

That is a deal-breaker just in itself. China is our enemy, as it has made painfully clear.

Hi Munna, This automatic cleaning cycle will help you to to clean the microwave oven cavity and to remove unpleas-ant odors. BEFORE STARTING THE CYCLE: 1. Put 235ml water into a container (see our recommendations in the below section). 2. Place the container directly on the middle of Glass Turntable. TO START THE CYCLE: 3. Press the Auto Clean button,the cleaning cycle duration will be visible on the display. 4. Press the Jet Start button to start the function. WHEN THE CYCLET IS FINISHED,a beep will signal once every 10 seconds for 10 minutes when the cleaning cycle is finished. 5. Press the Stop button or open the door to cancel the signal.

Hope this helps.

Regards, 6. Remove the container. 7. Use a soft cloth or a paper towel with mild detergent to clean the interior surfaces.

Check at Harvey Norman as they may have some.

Yeh, that’s where we have ours in a recess for a microwave & I have a vent opening at the back that goes in the ceiling for ventilation.

mine does not have a vent, but with size i think there will be space on the sides and top to vent, do you think this microwave will still be suitable?

Home from work now and just inspected my microwave space and yes there is a space at the top of cavity to vent behind cupboard about microwave

I've got a 10cm space above the microwave to ventilate and also about 5cm on each side in the cavity. Given it also has a grill element, the top which is where the vents are need more cooling and so space above in the cavity is desirable if that makes sense.

Hi Rod, This microwave is designed to be freestanding, and should be placed on a bench top only, with at least 30cm of space above the microwave for ventilation. It should not be placed into a cabinet or any enclosed space. Regards

As you would be aware, there are many versions of making meringue but according to the Ariston instructions for their version of meringue - set the oven to fan forced function on 100-120c @ 90w & cook for 30 to 40 minutes on the micro wave baking tray using baking paper. We have made a simpler version in a couple of minutes, by just mixing icing sugar & egg white into a dough, roll in balls, place balls on a paper towel on a plate & cook on high in the microwave for 90 seconds. I have seen recipes where they recommend beating the egg whites at 50f or 10c & cooking at low temps for a couple of hours, then leaving them in the turned off cooling oven to dry further but there isn’t a lot of difference from the 90 second version in the end. Happy cooking.

I believe you could, just ensure it is well ventilated as per product manual. The door opens from underneath the door & you would need to bend over to see the functions but this would be an issue with any under bench microwave. I think they designed them to be at bench level or above. Ours is in a well ventilated recess above the oven at eye level, so you can easily see the functions & open the door.

Hi Janet, This microwave needs at least 30cm free space above the microwave for ventilation purposes. There also needs to be sufficient space around the microwave for proper airflow so it is best placed on a bench. This microwave should not be placed in a cabinet. Regards
