Installation
Preparation
Unpack the accessories, wash them and wipe them off carefully.
Position the ring bearing and then the turntable in the centre of the oven.
The turntable must be properly engaged with the drive.
Connecting
Check that the supply voltage marked on the type label glued on the rear
of the appliance matches the voltage of your supply. The label indicates
the nominal supply voltage of the appliance, e.g. 220-230 V.
Ensure that the current marked on your electricity meter and circuit brea-
ker / fuse is at least 16 Amperes.
Finally, for proper safety, it is essential to connect your appliance to an
outlet socket with an earth connection in accordance with electrical instal-
lation regulations and standards.
Position the appliance in such a way that the supply socket is readily acces-
sible so that it can be easily disconnected.
You should also ensure that you can gain access to your circuit breaker /
fuse.
It is imperative to comply with the above instructions regarding the
electrical supply.
Position
Your appliance can be installed in one of two ways.
• On a worktop : position the appliance on a flat and stable surface,
capable of supporting the oven and its contents. The oven must be
handled with care, remembering that the control panel side is the
heavier.
• In a niche : The niche must be at least 85 cm above floor-level. Centre
the appliance in the niche so that it does not touch the side-walls.
Adequate ventilation is essential: the minimum clearances are 20 cm
above the oven and 10 cm at the sides and rear.
Install the appliance away from any source of heat such as a traditional oven
or radiator. It has been designed and tested for use in ambient temperatures
up to 35 °C.
Ensure that the ventilation holes of the appliance are not obstructed.
Important safety instructions
Read carefully and keep for future reference.
1. Your appliance is for domestic use. It is intended only for cooking, hea-
ting and defrosting foods and drinks. Use it only for these purposes.
2. Do not allow children to use the appliance without supervision in
particular in the combination mode due to the temperatures generated.
Beware of the risk of burns.
3. Avoid touching any surfaces that may have become hot during opera-
tion of your oven: the door, the grill element, the inner (cavity) walls, the
top surface.
In order to avoid burns when removing containers and accessories
from the oven, always use oven gloves.
4. Do not operate your appliance when empty. This can cause damage. To try
out programming the appliance, place a glass of water in the oven. This will
absorb the microwaves and protect your oven against damage.
5. The door must be free to close properly:
Do not obstruct the door in any way (with oven cloths, oven gloves, over-size
dishes etc.). If the door of your appliance is not properly closed, a safety
mechanism will prevent its being turned on.
6. When cooking in grill mode, any fat splashing the grill element may
catch fire. These flames will extinguish themselves and will not have any
adverse effect on your appliance if it is regularly maintained.
To avoid fat spitting during cooking, especially when cooking meats
and poultry, use dishes in glazed earthenware. Always maintain a
minimum gap of 2 cm between the food and the grill element.
7. Never obstruct the ventilation holes. This can cause the oven to over-
heat. If this happens, your appliance will stop automatically and will not
start again until it has cooled sufficiently.
8. Precautions against exposure to microwaves:
• Never attempt to operate your appliance with the door open, to inter-
fere with the safety door-locking mechanism or to insert anything in this
mechanism.
• Never place anything in the way of opening and closing the door.
• Never allow food or cleaning product residues to accumulate on the
door seals. Ensure that the door and its seals remain clean. After use,
wipe them with a damp cloth and dry then carefully.
• It is particularly important that the oven door should close correctly and
that there is no defect in :
- the door, the seals, the hinges,
- the supply cable.
Never use your oven if it is damaged.
In no case should your oven be adjusted or repaired by anyone other
than a qualified microwave appliance repair technician, trained by
the manufacturer.
