Before connection
For countertop models, leave sufficient
space around the oven :
- 5 cm between the sides of the oven
and any walls or objects
- 20 cm above the oven
- 10 cm behind the oven.
• Allow nothing to obstruct the ventilation louvers at the back of the appliance.
• Certain ovens are designed for flush-fitting. To obtain the corresponding kit, consult your dealer.
• Make sure the electrical plug will be accessible after installation.
• Check whether your oven has suffered any damage during transport (deformed door or
door seal, etc.). If you see any signs of damage, contact your dealer before use.
• Verify the power voltage. If there is a PERMANENT undervoltage (200-210 volts), consult your
electrical installer.
• Your installation must be protected by a 16 Amp thermal fuse.
• It is mandatory to use a power point with a ground terminal, connected in accordance 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.
• Never operate the oven if the supply cord and/ or its plug are damaged. In case of damage,
call in a specialised technician trained by the manufacturer.

• 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.
• Before use, make sure that the containers are appropriate for microwave usage (e.g.:
heat resistant glass, porcelain, etc.).
• 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.
• Be sure to watch closely when heating or cooking foods in disposable plastic or paper
containers or any other combustible material, due to fire hazard.
• It is not advisable to use metal recipients, forks, spoons, knives, metal ties or staples for
deep-freeze bags.
• For baby food and children’s food, it is essential :
- to remove the nipple before heating up baby bottles, shake the contents and test
the temperature on the back of your hand before feeding.
- to stir and verify the temperature of children’s foods before serving to avoid causing
serious internal burns.
• WARNING : Do not allow children to use the microwave oven without supervision
unless they have been thoroughly instructed in the proper use and the dangers of
improper operation.
• WARNING : Be sure to remove the cap or lid before cooking foods or heating liquids in
a sealed bottle or container, which could otherwise explode.
• The heating or cooking of boiled, coddled eggs or fried eggs by microwave is prohibited.
They can burst and cause serious burns or irreparable damage to your oven.
• When heating liquids, the boiling point may be reached without the typical bubbles
appearing on the surface. To prevent liquids from boiling over and possible burns, wait
20 seconds before removing the containers from the appliance or adding anything to
the liquids, to avoid sudden spurting of the liquid.
• 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 appears, keep the oven door closed to extinguish any flames and disconnect
the oven or turn it off.

• Regular maintenance of your oven will keep it in sound operating condition. To prevent heavy
soiling, it is preferable to cover recipients whenever possible. Failure to clean the appliance
regularly may damage its surfaces, reduce durability and lead to hazardous operation.
• Make sure the work surface on which the microwave oven sits is always kept clean as sur-
rounding dirt or dust could enter and damage your appliance.
• Clean with a damp, soapy sponge both on the inside and outside
, with special
attention to the door seal and front of the cavity which must be kept clean at all
times
.
WARNING : If these surfaces are damaged because of excessive soiling,
call in a specialised technician before using your microwave oven.
• In the event of unsavoury odors or caked-on dirt, boil water containing lemon juice or vinegar
in a cup for 2 minutes and clean the walls with a little dishwashing liquid.
• The turntable can be removed for cleaning. Depending on the model :
If you remove the drive shaft, do not allow water to enter the motor shaft hole.
Be sure to put the turntable, the drive shaft and the wheel support back in their proper place.
• Do not use abrasives, alcohol or solvents as they are liable to damage
the oven.
