For Class B equipment is equipment suitable for use in domestic establishments and in establishments directly connected to a low voltage power supply network which supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.
INSTALLING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
Place the oven on a flat level surface 85 cm above the floor. The surface should be strong enough to safety bear the weight of the oven.
1. When you install your oven, make sure there is
adequate ventilation for your oven by leaving at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space behind and, on the sides of the oven and 20 cm (8 inches) of space above.
2. Remove all packing materials inside the oven.
Install the roller ring and turntable. Check that the turntable rotates freely.
3. This microwave oven has to be positioned so that plug is accessible.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent. For your personal safety, plug the cable into a 3-pin, 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC earthed socket. If the power cable of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cable.

HOW A MICROWAVE OVEN WORKS
Cooking principle
1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron are
distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the turntable. The food is thus cooked evenly.
2. The microwaves are absorbed by the food up to
a depth of about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Cooking then continues as the heat is dissipated within the food.
3. Cooking times vary according to the container used
and the properties of the food.
• Quantity and density
• Water content
• Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)
As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking continues even when you have taken the food out of the oven. Standing times specified in recipes and in this booklet must therefore be respected to ensure:
• Quantity and density
• Water content
• Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)
CHECKING PARTS
Unpack your microwave oven and check to make sure that you have all the parts shown here. If any part is missing or broken, call your dealer.
