Important safety instructions
Read these instructions carefully and keep for future use.
1. Your appliance is for domestic use. It is intended exclusively for cooking,
reheating or defrosting food and drinks. Use it only for this purpose.
2. This appliance is not designed to be used by people (including children)
with impaired physical, sensorial or mental capacities, or by persons with
little or no experience or knowledge, unless they can benefit, through
someone responsible for their safety, from surveillance or instructions prior
to using the appliance.
3. It is appropriate to watch over children to make certain that they do not
play with the appliance. Children should only be allowed to use the oven
without surveillance where suitable instructions have been given to them,
allowing them to use the oven safely and with complete understanding of
dangers that can result from incorrect use.
Caution: risk of burns and scalding.
Accessible parts can become hot during use. You are advised to keep
young children away.
4. When in use, the appliance heats up. Take care not to touch the heating
elements located inside the oven. Be careful too of other surfaces that can
heat up, as with the door, the grill * resistor element, the walls of the
enclosure and the cover.
In microwave mode to avoid any risk of burning when removing
recipients from the oven (when not using the Direct Access
accessory), always use heat-proof gloves. Using grill and micro-grill
functions, please use insulating gloves
5. This appliance is not intended to be operated using an external timer or
a separate remote control system.
6. Do not operate your appliance empty. This could lead to damage. If you
want to try out a programme, place a glass of water inside so the
microwaves will thus be absorbed and your oven will not be damaged.
7. The door must be able to close again freely:
Do not insert objects between the door and the front of the oven or
prevent its closure (tea-towel, kitchen glove, too big a dish, etc.). If your
appliance’s door does not close correctly, a safety system will stop it from
starting.
8. * When cooking in grill, projections of grease onto the grill resistor
element can ignite. These flames will die out by themselves and have no
harmful effect if you maintain your appliance regularly.
9. Do not use the microwave with the accessory Direct Access without food.
Installing the appliance
Preparation
Unpack the accessories, wash them and dry them carefully.
Place the drive, the crown and then the turntable in the centre of the
oven.
The turntable must be well secured to the drive.
Connection
Check on the rating plate affixed to the rear of your appliance stating
nominal voltage (220-230V) that your electrical installation is appropriate
for the appliance.
Make certain that the amperage shown on your electricity meter and
circuit breaker is at least 16 Amps..
Lastly, for effective safety, you must be certain to connect your appliance
to a socket with an earth pin in accordance with electrical standards.
Place the appliance so that the plug is accessible at all times so it can be
readily disconnected.
Also check that you have access to your circuit breaker.
Recommendations relating to the power supply must be strictly
respected.
Where best to place your oven
You can place the appliance either:
•On a work surface: Place it on a flat, stable surface capable of bearing
the oven and its contents and resisting a temperature of more than
90°C. The oven must be handled with care. The side of the oven with
the control panel is heavier.
•In a niche: The niche must be at least 85 cm above the floor.
Centre the appliance in its recess in such a way that it does not touch
the walls of the niche.
Heat must be free to evacuate: leave a minimum space of 20 cm
above the oven, 10 cm on either side and 10 cm to the rear.
Install the appliance far enough away from any source of heat (e.g.,
conventional oven or radiator) as it is designed and tested for use at a
maximum ambient temperature of 35°C.
Take care not to block the appliance’s ventilation holes.
