Installation

BEFORE CONNECTION

•

Check whether your oven has suffered any damage during transport (deformed door or

door seal, etc.). If you see any signs of damage, contact your dealer before use. In order to easily locate the reference informationfor your appliance,we recommend that you notethese data on the “After-Sales ServiceDepartment and Customer Relations”page.

•

Verify the power voltage. If there is a PERMANENT undervoltage (200-210 volts), consult your

electrical installer.

•

Your installation must be protected by a 16 Amp thermal fuse.

•

It is mandatory to use a power point with a ground terminal, connected in accordance with

current safety regulations.

•

Your electrical installation should allow an accessible device to the user, who should be able

to disconnect the appliance from the mains, either with the plug, or with a switch ub accordance with the wiring rules.

•

Never operate the oven if the supply cord and/ or its plug are damaged. In case of damage,

call in a specialised technician trained by the manufacturer.

Ensure that:

-The electrical installation has sufficient voltage.

-The electrical wires are in good condition.-

-The diameter of the wires complies with theinstallation requirements.

The electrical connections are made before theappliance is installed in its housing.

Warning: We cannot be held responsible for anyaccident resulting from an inexistent,defectiveor incorrect ground lead.If the oven malfunctions in any way,unplug theappliance or remove the relevant fuse at theoven’s connection lead-in.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The microwaves used for cooking are electro-magnetic waves. They are commonly found in ourenvironment in the form of radio-electric waves,light or 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 sugarmolecules.

When food is exposed to microwaves, its moleculesbegin moving rapidly, which causes heating.

The penetration depth of waves into the food isapproximately 2.5 cm; if the food is thicker, the coreof the food will be cooked by conduction, as intraditional cooking.It is valuable to note that the microwaves triggerwithin the food a simple thermal phenomenon andthat they are not harmful to one’s health.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

This appliance’s packing materials are recyclable.Recycle them and play a role in protecting theenvironment by disposing of them in municipalcontainers provided for this purpose.

Your appliance also contains variousrecyclable materials. Thus it is stampedwith this logo to indicate to you that usedappliances should be mixed with otherwaste. The recycling of appliancesorganised by your manufacturer will takeplace under the best conditions, in compliance withEuropean directive 2002/96/CE concerning electricaland electronic equipment waste. Consult your cityhall or your retailer to find the drop-off points forused appliances that is nea-

rest to your home. Wethank you for your help in protecting theenvironment.

Warning

• Warning:

Ensure that your appliance has not sufferedany damage during transport (deformed seal ordoor,etc...).If you see any kind of damage,before doing anything else,contact your retailer.

Safety recommandations:

• Your appliance is designed for standard householduse for cooking, reheating and defrosting foods. Themanufacturer declines any responsibility in the caseof inappropriate use.

• Ensure that the cookware is suitable for use in amicrowave oven.To avoid damaging your appliance, never operate itwhile empty or without the turntable.

• Do not interfere with the openings on the lock onthe front of the appliance; this could cause damageto your appliance that would require a service call.The seal and frame of the door must be regularlyexamined to ensure that they have not deteriorated.If these areas are damaged, discontinue use of theappliance and have a specialised technician checkit.

• When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition.

• It is not advisable to use metal recipients, forks, spoons knives, metal ties or staples for deep-freeze bags.

• The contents of baby bottles and baby food jarsshould be shaken or stirred and their temperaturechecked before consumption to avoid burns.Never heat a baby bottle with the nipple on (risk ofexplosion).

• Make sure children do not play with the appliance.Do not allow children to use the microwave ovenwithout supervision, unless appropriate instructionshave been given so that the child can use the ovensafely and understands the dangers of incorrectoperation.

• Liquids and other foods should not be heated insealed containers because they may explode.It is recommended that you avoid heating eggs intheir shells and whole hard-boiled eggs in themicrowave oven because they run the risk ofexplosion, even after cooking is complete.

• Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container.

• In the case of small quantities (a sausage, acroissant, etc.) place a glass of water next to thefood.Excessive cooking times may dry out foods andcarbonise them. To avoid such incidents, never usethe same times recommended for cooking in atraditional oven.

• If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.

• In order to evacuate moisture, your appliance is fitted with a delayed ventilation function. Depending on the applied cooking mode (solo/grill/combination), the oven ventilation will continue to operate after the cooking end.

• The appliance is not intended to be used bypersons (including children) with reduced physical,sensory or mental abilities, or persons lackingexperience or awareness, unless using it with thehelp of a person responsible for their safety, orunder supervision and with prior instruction in itsuse.

• Always use oven mitts to remove dishes from theoven. Some dishes absorb the heat of foods and,therefore, are very hot.
