ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

For all cord connected appliances:

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord
having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded.

WARNING — Improper use of the grounding can result in the risk of electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician or Serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or
if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or
serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.

For a permanently connected appliance:

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be connected to a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system, or an equipment
grounding conductor should be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding
terminal or lead on the appliance.

In case of Radio or Television Interference

This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not
installed and operated correctly, in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions, may cause harmful interference to authorized radio
communication services.
It has been type tested and found to comply with the limits for Part 18.307
conducted emissions for non-consumer equipment and Part 18.305 radiated
emissions, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against
such interference. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:

1) Re-orientate the receiving antenna.

2) Relocate the microwave with respect to the receiver.

3) Plug the microwave into a different outlet so that the receiver and
microwave are on different branch circuits.

If necessary the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/
television technician for additional suggestions.

Note: Modifications should only be carried out by the manufacturer or

authorized representative to ensure continuing conformance.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED

1. Read this manual before using your oven.

2. As with all electrical appliances, it is wise to have the electrical connections
inspected periodically.

3. The oven interior and door seals should be cleaned frequently, following the
instructions described in the CLEANING section.

4. There is no need to switch off your oven after each function but remember to switch
off at the end of the day or period of operation.

5. Microwave energy should not be used to dry linen or warm plates.

6. As with any cooking appliance, care should be taken to avoid combustion of the
items within the oven.

If smoke is observed:

 Switch off
 Isolate from the electrical supply
 Keep the door closed to stifle any flames

7. Ensure food is placed in the centre of the oven cavity for best results.

8. When using the microwave only function, cover the food to prevent splashing the
walls of the cavity.

9. Food in combustible plastic or paper containers should only be used in microwave
only function and checked frequently to avoid the possibility of ignition.

10. Items should be unwrapped when using convection and combination functions.

11. Eggs and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated using the microwave or
combination function as they may explode.

12. Food with a skin, e.g. potatoes, apples, sausages, etc. should be pierced before
heating.

13. Food should not be heated in a completely sealed container as the build-up of
steam may cause it to explode.

14. Excess fat should be removed during ‘roasting’ and before lifting heavy containers
from the oven.

15. In the event of glass breaking or shattering within the oven, ensure that food is
totally free of glass particles. If in doubt, dispose of any food that was in the oven at
the time of the breakage.

INSTALLATION

Remove packing material and protective film from the oven.
Included inside your oven:

Check for obvious signs of transit damage.
If necessary, inform the freight company IMMEDIATELY.

LOCATION AND POSITIONING

Choose a site away from major heat sources.
DO NOT position so that hot air is drawn in from fryers, grills,
griddles, etc.
A heat barrier to the height of the oven must be installed if sited next
to a burner, stove or range.

Note:
The air intake is located
under each side of the oven,
even with the clearance
specified below it is
important that airflow is as
cool as possible and not pre­heated by other appliances
such as fryers, grills and
griddles as this will
deteriorate the life and
performance of the oven.

WARNING:

Check that the
AIR FILTERS are in place
prior to operation
( see Main Features )

Place the oven on a flat surface that is LEVEL, STRONG and
STABLE.
Allow a minimum clearance of 2 inches (50mm) to the rear, top and
each side to allow air to circulate freely.
The air intake is located under each side of the oven, even with the
clearance specified above, it is important that airflow is as cool as
possible and not pre-heated by other appliances such as fryers, grills
or griddles.
Allow a minimum of 2 inches (50mm) clearance above the oven for
hot air to escape.
Allow sufficient clearance, 12 inches (305mm) in front of the oven for
the door to open fully
Do not affix labels/stickers to oven other than those applied by the
manufacturer
