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
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.
ENGLISH
3. Cooking times vary according to the container used
and the properties of the food.
• Quantityanddensity
• Watercontent
• Initialtemperature(refrigeratedornot)
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:
• Quantityanddensity
• Watercontent
• Initialtemperature(refrigeratedornot)
CHECKING PARTS
