Safety and warnings
Important safety instructions
■
Your appliance is solely intended for domestic
use for cooking, reheating and defrosting food.
The manufacturer does not accept any liability
in the event of inappropriate use.
■
To avoid damaging your appliance, never
operate it while empty or without the turntable.
■
Do not interfere with the openings on the lock
on the front of the appliance; this could cause
damage to your appliance that would require a
service callout.
■
The seal and frame of the door must be regularly
examined to ensure that they have not become
damaged. If damaged the oven should not be
used until repaired by an authorised person.
■
In microwave mode, it is not recommended to
use metallic cookware, forks, spoons, knives or
metal staples or fasteners for defrosting bags.
■
Never heat a baby bottle with the teat on, as it
may explode.
■
Always use oven gloves to remove dishes from
the oven. Some dishes absorb the heat from
food and are therefore very hot.
Safety and warnings
Header
Important safety instructions
■
When heating small quantities (a sausage, a
croissant, etc.) place a glass of water next to the
food.
■
Excessive cooking times may dry out food and
burn it. To prevent this occurring, never use
the same times recommended for cooking in a
conventional oven.
■
Do not use abrasive cleaning materials or hard
metal scrapers on the glass oven door, as this
could scratch the surface and cause the glass to
shatter.

Installation instructions
Important!
The accessible parts of the appliance may become hot during use. Be careful not to touch the
heating elements located inside the oven.
It is advisable to keep small children away from the appliance.
Important!
If the appliance is being used in combination mode, it is recommended that children only use the

Protecting the environment
This appliance’s packaging materials are recyclable. Please recycle them and help protect the
environment by depositing them in municipal containers provided for this purpose.
Europe only:
Your appliance also contains various recyclable materials. It is therefore marked
with this logo to indicate that used appliances must not be mixed with other
waste. The appliance recycling organised by your manufacturer will therefore be
conducted in optimum conditions, in accordance with European directive 2002/96/
EC on electrical and electronic equipment waste. Consult your local authority or
your retailer to locate your nearest used appliance drop-off points. Thank you for
your help in protecting the environment.
How your oven works
The microwaves used for cooking are electromagnetic waves. They are commonly found in our
environment in the form of radio waves, light and infrared rays.
Their frequency is in the 2450 MHz range.
Their behaviour:
■
They are reflected by metals.
■
They travel through all other materials.
■
They are absorbed by water, fat and sugar molecules.
When food is exposed to microwaves its molecules
begin moving rapidly, causing it to heat up.
The penetration depth of waves into the food is
approximately 2.5 cm; if the food is thicker, the centre
of the food will be cooked by conduction, as in
conventional cooking.
Note that microwaves cause a simple thermal
phenomenon within food and are not harmful to
health.

Option ‘A’ - oven only (overall height 457 mm)
Option ‘B’ - oven + lower trim kit accessory
(overall height 478 mm)
Note: If you are installing an appliance directly
over another, you have the option of using the
supplied black metal shelf cover to conceal the
shelf front that would be visible between the two
appliances. This needs to be fitted before
the lower trim kit and/or appliance is installed.

Installation alignment
The diagrams below explain how to achieve the correct and proper alignment of visual elements
of the product should it be necessary. This also allows you to align visual elements across
products if this product is installed alongside other companian products.
Inspect the product to check if the gaps are correct
■
There should be a minimum 5 mm gap at the base of the product (ie from the bottom of the
door glass to the shelf). The product can be raised or lowered to achieve this gap by adjusting
the two small feet at the front of the product with a 7 mm spanner.

■
There should be a 5 mm gap between the top of the door glass and the bottom of the control
panel. The control panel can be raised or lowered to achieve this gap by first loosening the two
screws on either side of the product with a tamper proof torx 20 Screwdriver. Once the control
panel is adjusted to suit, ensure the screws are fully tightened again and the panel does not
move. This adjustment also allows you to visually align the product incase the cabinetry is not
square.
Important!
If adjusting the product height or the control panel (or both), ensure the overall product height
still allows the product to be installed into the preconfined cabinetry space.
Do not lower the control panel so much that it touches or interferes with the door.
