Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow dirt/grime or residue from
cleaning products to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

((cc))

INSTALLATION

11..

Make sure that all the packing materials are removed from the inside of the door.

22.. WWAARRNNIINNGG::

Check the oven for any damage, such as misaligned or bent door, damaged door seals and
sealing surface, broken or loose door hinges and latches and dents inside the cavity or on the door. If there
is any damage, do not operate the oven and contact an

MMEEAA QQuuaalliiffiieedd SSeerrvviiccee AAggeenntt ((rreeffeerr ttoo ppaaggee 1122))..

33..

This microwave oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface to hold its weight and the heaviest food likely
to be cooked in the oven.

44..

Do not place the oven where heat, moisture or high humidity are generated, or near combustible materials.

55..

For correct operation, the oven must have sufficient airflow. In an open freestanding situation, allow 20mm
of space from any overhead obstruction and 10mm from a back wall and 5mm from any side walls. If
more than one side of the appliance is closed in, then installation is as per a "built-in" installation requiring
adequate venting. The specification requirements for "built-in" installations are detailed in the Blanco
Specification Book, and require the purchase of a trim kit and vented cabinetry design.

66..

Do not operate the oven without glass tray, roller support, and shaft in their proper positions.

77..

Make sure that the power supply cord is undamaged and does not run under the oven or over any hot or
sharp surface.

88..

The power socket must be readily accessible so that it can be easily unplugged in an emergency.

99..

Do not use the oven outdoors.

EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be earthed. The microwave oven is equipped with a cord which has an earth wire and an
earth plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and earthed. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric
current. It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only the oven, be provided. Using a high voltage is
dangerous and may result in a fire or other accident causing damage to the oven.

WWAARRNNIINNGG::

Improper use of the earthing plug can increase the risk of electric shock.

NNootteess:: 11..

If you have any questions about the earthing or electrical instructions, consult an

MMEEAA QQuuaalliiffiieedd

SSeerrvviiccee AAggeenntt ((rreeffeerr ttoo ppaaggee 1122))..

22..

Neither the manufacturer nor the distributor can accept any liability for damage to the oven or
personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.
