• The oven is meant to 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 may circulate freely around the oven.
• Make sure that nothing obstructs the ventilation
louvers at the back of the appliance.
• Make sure the electrical plug will be accessible after installation.
• Make sure that your oven has not suffered any damage during transport (deformed door
or door seal, etc.). If you see any signs of damage, contact your dealer before use.
• Check 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.

Important instructions
•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.
•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; this could cause
damage requiring repair by an authorised technician.
•Before use, make sure that the containers are appropriate for microwave usage (e.g.:
heat resistant glass, porcelain, etc.).
•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.
•It is advisable to cover food in most cases. It will be tastier and your oven will stay cleaner.
However, 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 pro-
hibited. 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
alongside the food item.
•Time settings that are too long may dry out and burn the food. To avoid such inci-
dents, never use the same cooking times as those recommended for traditional
ovens.
•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.
•If smoke appears, keep the oven door closed and disconnect the oven or turn it off.

Tips
• Programming with the AUTO key is recommended when using the rotisserie function.
• The time may vary according to the thickness and weight of the meat, the initial tem-
perature and individual preference. It is preferable to programme a minimal time and
extend cooktime at the end if necessary.
• Cook roasts without an outer layer of fat to avoid splattering. The spit is not recom-
mended for cooking pork roasts as they are liable to heavily soil the cook area.
• Grease the spit and tines before positioning the chicken to ensure easy removal after
roasting.
• Make sure the food is properly centered on the spit.
• Be sure to clean the microwave oven after each use.
