Caution

If this appliance featuring magnetic door seals is to
replace an older appliance having a spring lock
(latch) on the door or lid, be sure to make that
spring lock unusable before you discard the old
appliance. This will prevent it from becoming a
death-trap for a child.

Location

Place the appliance away from all heat sources, such
as: radiators, heating stoves, direct sunlight, etc.
Best results are obtained with a room temperature
ranging between +18
Make sure that there is nothing at the back, at the
top and at the bottom of the appliance to obstruct
air circulation.
For a more efficient operation of the appliance, the
minimum distance between the top of the appliance
and other overhanging kitchen furniture, if any,
should be at least 100 mm (see Fig. 1 - A).
