LOCATION
BEFORE CONNECTION
Installation
•
The oven is meant to be set on a work surface at least 85 cm above floor level.
•
Place the oven on a flat and horizontal surface, away from any source of heat or
steam. To ensure the stability of the microwave oven, the front left foot is
adjustable (5 positions). Turn it to raise or lower the appliance.
•
Make sure that air may circulate freely around the oven.
•
Make sure that nothing obstructs the ventilation ouvers at the back of the appliance.
•
Make sure the electrical plug will be accessible after installation.
•
Do not use your appliance immediately (wait approx. 1-2 hours) after transfer from a cold place to
a warm place as condensation may cause a malfunction.
• Make sure that your oven has not suffered any damage during transport (deformed door or door
seal, etc.). If you see any signs of damage, contact your dealer before use.
• Check the power voltage. If there is a PERMANENT undervoltage (200-210 volts), consult your
electrical installer.
•
Your installation must be protected by a 16 Amp thermal fuse.
•
It is mandatory to use a power point with a ground terminal, connected in accordance with
current safety regulations.
•
In your electrical installation, provide a device that is accessible to the installer, capable of
separating the appliance from the mains power and whose contact opening is at least 3 mm
at all of the poles.
•
Never operate the oven if the supply cord and/or its plug are damaged. In order to avoid any
danger, call in a specialised technician trained by the manufacturer to repair the damage.

Important instructions
• Your appliance is designed exclusively for the domestic purposes of defrosting, heating or cooking
foods. The manufacturer bears no responsibility in the case of improper usage.
• To avoid deterioration of your microwave oven, never operate it empty or without the turntable.
• Never tamper with the lock mechanism of your microwave oven; this could cause damage requiring
repair by an authorised technician.
• Before use, make sure that the containers are appropriate for microwave usage (e.g.: heat resistant glass, porcelain, etc.).
• It is not advisable to use metal recipients, forks, spoons, knives, metal ties or staples for deepfreeze bags.
• For baby food and children’s food, it is essential :
- to remove the teat before heating up baby bottles, shake the contents and test
the temperature on the back of your hand before feeding.
- to stir and verify the temperature of children’s foods before serving to avoid causing
serious internal burns.
• WARNING
: Do not allow children to use the microwave oven without supervision unless they
have been thoroughly instructed in the proper use and the dangers of improper operation.
• It is advisable to cover food in most cases. It will be tastier and your oven will stay cleaner.
WARNING
: be sure to remove the cap or lid before cooking foods or heating liquids in a sealed
bottle or container, which could otherwise explode.
• The heating or cooking of boiled, coddled eggs or fried eggs by microwave is prohibited. They can
burst and cause serious burns or irreparable damage to your oven.
• When heating liquids, the boiling point may be reached without the typical bubbles appearing
on the surface. To prevent liquids from boiling over and possible burns, wait 20 seconds before
removing the containers from the appliance or adding anything to the liquids, to avoid sudden
spurting of the liquid.
• For small amounts (one sausage, a single croissant, etc.), place a glass of water alongside the food
item.
• Time settings that are too long may dry out and burn the food. To avoid such incidents, never
use the same cooking times as those recommended for traditional ovens.
• Be sure to watch closely when heating or cooking foods in disposable plastic or paper containers
or any other combustible material, due to fire hazard.
• If smoke appears, keep the oven door closed to extinguish any flames and disconnect the oven
or turn it off.
•W
ARNING: Children should not use the fan function without proper adult supervision due to the
high temperatures reached.
