Installation Instructions

Remove 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 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.

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.

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

- 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.

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.

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

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

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.

3

Eggs with their shell and whole boiled eggs
shouldn’t be warmed up in microwave ovens as
they may explode.

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.

Description of the Microwave Oven

The advantages of a microwave oven:

In a conventional oven the heat radiated by the
resistances or gas burners, slowly penetrates the
food from the outside to the inside. There is,
therefore, a great loss of energy in the heating of
the air, oven components and recipients.

On the other hand, in microwave ovens the heat is
generated in the interior of the food itself, heating it
from the inside outwards. There is therefore no loss
of energy as the air, interior walls of the oven and
recipients (when adequate) do not heat up with
microwaves.

In short, microwave ovens have the following
advantages:

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.

1. Save on cooking time: in general there is a 3/4
reduction of the cooking time than with
conventional methods.

2. Ultra-quick defrosting which prevents bacteria
development.

3. Electricity saving.

4. Maintaining the nutritive value of the food due
to the cooking time reduction.

5. Easy cleaning.
