INSTALLATION
• Make sure that your oven has not suffered any damage during transport (defor-
med door or door seal, etc.). If you see any signs of damage, contact your dea-
ler before use.
• Check the power voltage. If there is a PERMANENT undervoltage (200-210 volts),
consult your electrical installer.
Location
• The appliance should be installed at a distance of 85 cm above the floor.
• Place the oven on a flat and horizontal surface, away from any source of heat or steam.
• Make sure that nothing obstructs the ventilation louvers at the back of the
appliance.
• Make sure the electrical plug will be accessible after installation.
• Do not use your appliance immediately (wait approx. 1-2 hours) after transfer from a
cold place to a warm place as condensation may cause a malfunction.
• Your installation must be protected by a 10 Amp thermal fuse.
• It is mandatory to use a power point with a ground terminal, connected in accordan-
ce with current safety regulations.
• In your electrical installation, provide a device that is accessible to the installer, capable
of separating the appliance from the mains power and whose contact opening is at
least 3 mm at all of the poles.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent
or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

WARNING
• Your appliance is designed exclusively for the domestic purposes of defrosting, heating or
cooking foods. The manufacturer bears no responsibility in the case of improper usage.
• Only use ustensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
• To avoid deterioration of your microwave oven, never operate it empty or without the
turntable.
• Never tamper with the lock mechanism of your microwave oven; you could cause damage
requiring repair by an authorised technician.
• 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 feeding bottles are baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the
temperature checked before consumption in order to avoid burns.
• Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions
have been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands
the hazards of improper use.
• Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers they are liable to explode.
• Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens
since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended.
• Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care
must be taken when handling the container.
• For small amounts (one sausage, a single croissant, etc.), place a glass of water along-
side the food item.
• Time settings that are too long may dry out and burn the food. To avoid such incidents,
never use the same cooking times as those recommended for traditional ovens.
• If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in
order to stifle any flames.
