Do not cover the ventilation slots with cloth or paper.
They may catch fire as hot air escapes from the

off automatically, and will remain off until it cools
sufficiently.
Always use oven mitts when removing a dish from the

Do not touch heating elements or interior oven walls
until the oven has cooled down.
Stir liquids halfway during heating or after heating
ends and allow the liquid stand at least 20 seconds

Stand at arms length from the oven when opening the
door to avoid getting scalded by escaping hot air or
steam.
Do not operate the microwave oven when it is empty.
The microwave oven will automatically shut down
for 30 minutes for safety purposes. We recommend
placing a glass of water inside the oven at all times
to absorb microwave energy in case the microwave
oven is started accidentally.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal
scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can
scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of
the glass.
Install the oven in compliance with the clearances
stated in this manual (see Installing Your Microwave
Oven)
Take care when connecting other electrical appliances
to sockets near the oven.
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
20 cm
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, 240 Volt, 50 Hz,
AC earthed socket. If the power cable of this appliance is damaged, it
must be replaced by a special cable.
Do not install the microwave oven in hot or damp surroundings like
next to a traditional oven or radiator. The power supply specifications
of the oven must be respected and any extension cable used must
be of the same standard as the power cable supplied with the oven.
Wipe the interior and the door seal with a damp cloth before using your
microwave oven for the first time.

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.
