Installation
Leave sufficient space around the oven :
- 5 cm between the sides of the oven
and any walls or objects
- 14 cm above the oven
- 10 cm behind the oven.
LOCATION
BEFORE CONNECTION
• The oven must be set on a work surface at least 85 cm above floor level.
• Place the oven on a flat and horizontal surface, away from any source of heat or
steam. To ensure the stability of the microwave oven, the front left foot is
adjustable (5 positions). Turn it to raise or lower the appliance.
• Make sure that air can circulate freely around the oven.
• Make sure that nothing obstructs the ventilation louvres at the back of the appliance.
• Some ovens are designed for flush-fitting. To obtain the corresponding kit, consult your dealer.
• 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.
• 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 15 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.
• 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.

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.

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.

retaining full flavour due to the steam effect provided by the Duo plate stackers.
Just cover the plates, stack them one on top of the other, and place together on the centre
of the turntable.
Use the Duo button together with the Duo plate stackers
.
The advantages of the plate stackers :
- Food retains full flavour due
to the steam effect.
- Dishes are heated evenly through-
out.
- Drying out of food is minimised.
- Programme time can de reduced.
- By preventing splattering, they
help to keep your oven clean .
The Duo function can be used to heat up fresh or refrigerated dishes.
Neither the defrosting or heating of frozen products nor the cooking of dishes is
recommended.
Care of your Duo plate stackers :
- A sponge, hot water and liquid detergent are all you need to clean your plate
stackers. Do not use a metal scouring pad or scouring powder.
- The Duo plate stackers are dishwasher-safe.
Do not use the DUO plate stackers with the grill or microwave + grill
functions as this could cause them irreparable damage.
