Before installing this appliance
Use care when handling.
Ensure the oven cavity is empty before mounting.
Ensure that the wall on which the appliance is to be mounted
on, is strong enough to hold the weight of this appliance (see
the Technical specifications).
IMPORTANT!
This appliance is designed to be mounted over electrical or
gas cooker ranges only! The distance between the cooker
range and bottom part of this appliance must be at least 430
mm for electrical cooker ranges and at least 500 mm for gas
cooker ranges.
The manufacturer must be contacted for the minimum
mounting distance where:
Electrical range:
* The cooker range has more than 4 hob elements.
* The two rear elements exceed a rating of 2 kW per ele-
ment.
* The two front hob elements exceed a rating of 1.5 kW per
element.
Gas range:
* The gas burner develop more than 3.2 kw per burner
* The cooker range develop more than 10 kw in total.
Evacuation should not be through a flue used for the evacuation of other vapours or burnt gas, that is through a pipe used
as a flue for open flame sources.
If you are installing the appliance to an unused flue for the
evacuation of vapour’s or burnt gas, we recommend that you
request the advice and approval of a competent technician
before making the installation.
If the cooker hood is used together with other appliances
which consume the air in the room (e.g. gas, diesel oil or
coal appliances, water-heaters, boilers) remember that the
hood aspires air from the room which may therefore not be
sufficient for burning.
Ensure that the appliance is not damaged before mounting it
on the wall.
Cooker hoods and other appliances requiring a flue, can
only be used together safely if there is a maximum depression of 0.04 bar in room which prevents the reabsorbing of
the burnt gases. This is possible only if the combustion air is
evacuated through non-closing apertures such as doors,
windows, wall boxes for the supply and evacuation of air or
similar technical devices such as reciprocal blocking devices
or similar. If you are not certain call a qualified technician.
Note: For best function keep the kitchen windows closed
when using the fan. If not you have no negative pressure in
the kitchen. But one window in an adjacent room ought to be
open.
The internal recirculation cooker hood – with charcoal filter
is in no way dangerous.
For evacuation use flexible aluminium pipes or sheet plate
pipes which are resistant to corrosion.
Do not use inflammable plastic pipes. Always ensure that the
evacuation channels and pipes are as short as possible.
Do not mount the pipes at right angles. They must always be
curved and should be fitted into the flue at an upward angle.
The diameter of the pipe must not narrow towards the top.
The performance of the fan will be reduced with small
diameter pipes.
External evacuation:
The flange has a Ø 120 mm opening so that, evacuation pipes
with Ø 120 mm can be mounted.
IMPORTANT!
Check that all material for fixing the appliance is supplied in
the package.
Follow the supplied separate mounting instructions when
mounting the appliance on the wall.
Internal recirculation
The cooker hood is used with the internal recirculation system
when there is no pipe or opening on the external wall. In the
case of internal recirculation, the Air deflector and optional
charcoal filter must be installed for the absorption of the
cooking vapours. (see maintenance and accessories)
The manufacturers are not liable for any problems caused
by the user’s failure to observe the above instructions.

Make sure that the appliance is not
damaged. Check that the oven door
closes firmly against the door support and
that the internal door seal is not damaged. Clean inside oven
with a soft, damp cloth.
If the filter is damaged it must be replaced. Do not use the
extractor hood without the filter. It is not designed for such
operation.
It is advisable to switch on the extractor hood a few minutes
before starting cooking on the stove and then to leave it running
for approximately 10 minutes afterwards to ensure that all
odours are extracted.
Always run the extractor hood with the drawer fully pulled
out during cooking on the kitchen range.
The oven can be operated only if the oven door is firmly
closed.
Poor television reception and radio
interference may result if the oven is
located close to a TV, radio or aerial.
The packaging material is recyclable and
marked with the symbol for recycling .
Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged mains cord
or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or
dropped. Electrical shock, fire or other hazards may result.
Important!
A permanent connection requires the installation of a separating device. The separating device must have an omnipolar
contact opening of more than 3 mm including LS switches,
safety valves and relays. The separate device must be connected directly to the terminal.
The manufacturers are not liable for any problems caused by
the user’s failure to observe the above instructions.
Do not use the cavity for storage purposes.
Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils, or food in the cavity when not in
use.
Never lean on the door or allow a child to
swing on it when the door is open. Injury
could result.
Do not use the drawer as a shelf or
unloading area after cooking. It is not

hot vessels.
WARNING!
The oven should not be operated
without food in the oven when using
microwaves. Operation in this manner
is likely to damage the appliance.
If you practice operating the oven, put
a glass of water inside. The water will
absorb the microwave energy and the oven will not be
damaged.
Never prepare ”flambé” dishes under the cooker hood!
Never use an open flame under the hood. The use of an
unprotected flame is dangerous for the filters and could
cause fires.
Never leave the pan alone when frying foods. The cooking
oil can easily flare up. This is a potential fire hazard!
The manufacturers refuse to accept any responsibility
for damage to the hood or its catching on fire because of
failure to observe the above instructions.

Child safety / Empty oven start protection
This oven has an automatic child safety function which is
activated one minute after the oven has returned to “stand by“.
The oven is in “stand by“ when the 24 hour Clock is displayed
or if the Clock has not been set, when the display is blank.
Accessories
CAUTION!
There are a number of accessories available on the market.
Before you buy, make sure they are suitable for microwave
use.
When you put food in the microwave oven, ensure that food,
food supports or covering do not come in direct contact with
any of the internal walls or the ceiling of the cavity.
Turn table support
Use the Turn table support under the
Glass Turn-table. Never put other utensils
than the Glass Turn-table directly on the
Turn table support. The Turn table support
may be cleaned in dishwashers.
* Fit the Turn table support on its locator in the oven.
The door must be opened and closed e.g. putting food into it,
before the safety lock is released. If you try to operate the oven
without putting food into it the display will display “door“
indicating that you must open and close the door before
operating the oven.
This is especially important with accessories made of
metal or metal parts. If accessories containing metal come
in contact with the internal walls or the ceiling, while the oven
is in operation, sparking will occur and the oven will be
damaged.
Always ensure that the turntable is able to turn freely before
starting the oven.
Glass turn-table
Use the Glass Turn-table with all
cooking methods. The Glass Turn-table
collects the dripping juices and food
particles that otherwise would stain and
soil the interior of the oven. The Glass Turn-table may be
cleaned in dishwashers.
* Place the Glass Turn-table on the Turn table support.
Grill-grid
Use the Grill-grid to place the food close
to the Grill element. Always place the
Grill-grid on the Glass Turn-table for
support and collecting the dripping
juices. You may damage the oven if you
place the Grill-grid directly on the bottom of the oven. Use oven
mitts when removing the hot Grill-grid. The Grill-grid may be
cleaned in dishwashers.
Crisp-plate
Place the food directly on the Crispplate. Always use the Glass Turn-table
as support when using the Crisp-plate.
The Crisp-plate may be preheated
before use. Use oven mitts or the
supplied special Crisp handle when
removing the hot Crisp-plate. The Crisp-plate can be cleaned
in mild, detergent water. Heavily soiled areas can be cleaned
with a scouring sponge and a mild cleanser.
Do not use steel-wool pads. They will scratch the surface.
Optional accessorie
Two plate stacker
The Two plate stacker is excellent for
two level reheating. Simply place one
plate on the Glass Turn-table and a
second plate on the Two plate stacker
above. The Two plate stacker may be
cleaned in dishwashers.
Do not use together with the Grill or Crisp.
Crisp handle
Use the supplied special Crisp handle to
remove the hot Crisp plate from the oven.
The Crisp handle may be cleaned in dishwashers.
Air deflector
The internal recirculation Air deflector is
used when you have chosen to utilize the

Important when using your microwave oven
Do not heat, store or use flammable
materials in or near the oven. Fumes can
create a fire hazard or explosion.
Use this appliance only for its intended use
as described in this manual.
Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapours in this appliance.
This type of oven is specifically designed to heat or cook food. It
is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.
Do not over-cook food. Fire could result.
Do not use your microwave oven for drying
textiles, paper, spices, herbs, wood,
flowers, fruit or other combustible materials. Fire could result.
Do not leave the oven unattended, especially when using
paper, plastic or other combustible materials in the cooking
process. Paper can char or burn, and some plastics can melt if
used when heating foods. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
Do not use your microwave oven for
cooking or reheating whole eggs with
or without shell.
Do not use your microwave oven
for heating food or liquids in
airtight sealed containers. The
pressure increases and may cause
damage when opening or may
explode.
Some foods which has a low water
content E.g. oil, chocolate and some pastries with sweet
fillings, must be heated carefully.
Do not use your microwave oven for deep frying, because you
cannot control the oil temperature.
One of the major advantages of microwave ovens is the short
cooking time. Therefore, do not exceed recommended times
for cooking or re-heating food.
Always refer to a microwave cookbook for details. Especially, if
cooking or reheating food that contains alcohol.
Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before
placing bag in the oven.
If the Grill function is not used regularely, there is a risk of
fire, due to the possible buildup of foodparticles and fat,
beneath the grillelement. To reduce this risk, the Grill only
function should be run for 10 minutes once a month to clean
the elements.
If material inside / outside the oven should
ignite, keep oven door closed, turn the oven
off and disconnect the power cord or shut
off power at the fuse or circuit breaker
panel.
When heating liquids, e.g. beverages or water in your microwave oven, overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can
occur without evidence of bubbling. This could result in a
sudden boil over of the hot liquid.
To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken:
1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
2. Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and let
the teaspoon remain in the container.
3. After heating, allow to stand for a short time, stirring again
before carefully removing the container from the oven.
After heating baby food or liquids in a baby
bottle, always stir and check the temperature
before serving. This will ensure that the heat is
evenly distributed and the risk of scalding or
burns can be avoided.
Ensure the Lid and the Teat is removed before
heating!
Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not
heat containers, but the hot food does. Heat
from the Grill will cause container and oven
parts to become hot. Also the Crisp-plate
always becomes very hot when used.
Use oven mitts when touching containers, oven parts, and pan
after cooking to prevent burns.
