Installation Instructions

Remove microwave oven from packing.

Remove all packing materials and accessories from the oven cavity.

Check whether the following parts are in good condition:

- Door and hinges;

- Front of the oven;

- Inside and outside of oven.

Should you find any faults DO NOT USE THE MICROWAVE OVEN, and contact your dealer.

Place the oven on a flat stable surface able to support its weight.

To allow efficient cooling of the apparatus, it is recommended to:

- Leave a free space of 20 cm above the upper part of the microwave oven.

- If it is preferred to install the microwave oven in fitted kitchen furniture, observe the fitting

instructions of the fitting frame, which is sold separately, respecting the opening in the upper part of the unit.

- When installing the microwave oven great care should be taken to ensure that the mains power

cable cannot come into contact with metal steam outlet since the high temperatures involved could cause damage.

The oven should be kept away from heat and vapour sources (electric oven, toasters, etc.).

The oven has been supplied with a mono-phase power supply cord. The appliance must be earthed.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

The manufacturers and dealers are not responsible for any breakdowns or personal accidents should these installation instructions not be followed by the purchaser.

Important Information

WARNING: If the door or the door hinges are damaged, the oven should not be switched on until repaired by a qualified technician.

WARNING: It is dangerous for anyone, except a qualified technician, to tamper with the apparatus or try to repair it in any way by removing any lid or covering which assures protection against the exposure to microwave energy.

WARNING: Liquids and other food should not be heated in airtight recipients as these can explode. WARNING: Children should only be allowed to use the oven without adult supervision if they have been

given the appropriate instructions so that they can use the oven safely and understand the dangers of its incorrect use.

WARNING: When the microwave oven is operated in the Combination mode (Microwaves + Grill), children should only be allowed to use the unit under adult supervision due to the high temperatures generated.

WARNING: The microwave oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed (please see the chapter on Oven Maintenance for details). Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

When heating food in plastic or paper recipients, check the oven frequently in case they ignite.

If any smoke is detected, then switch off the oven or disconnect it and keep the door closed in order for any flame to die out.

After warming up baby bottles or baby food jars, stir or shake its contents and check the temperature before feeding, to avoid burns.

Warming up drinks in the microwave oven may result in a delayed eruptive boiling, therefore one should be careful when handling the recipient.

Eggs with their shell and whole boiled eggs shouldn’t be warmed up in microwave ovens as they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended.

Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens. Do not use any metal utensils inside the oven unless they were supplied with the oven and for that purpose.

Do not warm up liquids or other food in closed recipients as they may explode.

Do not warm up pure alcohol or alcoholic drinks. DANGER OF FIRE.

When in doubt, choose short periods to cook, heat or defrost food with microwaves. With long cooking periods the food may become dry and even begin to burn.

Do not use the oven for anything other than warming, cooking or defrosting food.

Do not operate the oven without its tray nor when empty.

Keep the oven ventilation holes open. Never cover any air vents or openings.
