Please become familiar with these recommendations before installing and using your appliance. They were written for your safety and the safety of others.

SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

Your appliance is designed for standard household use for cooking, reheating and defrosting foods. The manufacturer declines any responsibility in the case of inappropriate use.

The appliance is not intended to be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities, or persons lacking experience or awareness, unless using it with the help of a person responsible for their safety, or under supervision and with prior instruction in its use.

Ensure that the cookware is suitable for use in a microwave oven.

To avoid damaging your appliance, never operate it while empty or without the turntable.

Do not interfere with the openings on the lock on the front of the appliance; this could cause damage to your appliance that would require a service call.

The seal and frame of the door must be regularly examined to ensure that they have not deteriorated. If these areas are damaged, discontinue use of the appliance and have a specialised technician check it.

While heating food items in plastic or paper containers, monitor the microwave's contents for there is a risk of spontaneous combustion.

For the microwave and microwave + fan heating functions, the use of metallic cookware, forks, spoons, knives or metal staples or fasteners for frozen foods is not recommended.

The contents of baby bottles and baby food jars should be shaken or stirred and their temperature checked before consumption to avoid burns.

Never heat a baby bottle with the nipple on (risk of explosion).

Make sure children do not play with the appliance. Do not allow children to use the microwave oven without supervision, unless appropriate instructions have been given so that the child can use the oven safely and understands the dangers of incorrect operation.

Always use oven mitts to remove dishes from the oven. Some dishes absorb the heat of foods and, therefore, are very hot.

Liquids and other foods should not be heated in sealed containers because they may explode.

It is recommended that you avoid heating eggs in their shells and whole hard-boiled eggs in the microwave oven because they run the risk of explosion, even after cooking is complete.

Heating beverages in the microwave oven can cause sudden and/or delayed splattering of boiling liquid, so precautions must be taken when handling their containers.

In the case of small quantities (a sausage, a croissant, etc.) place a glass of water next to the food.

Excessive cooking times may dry out foods and carbonise them. To avoid such incidents, never use the same times recommended for cooking in a traditional oven.

If smoke appears, stop or unplug the oven and leave the door closed to smother any flames that may appear.

Notices to the user

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The microwaves used for cooking are electromagnetic waves. They are commonly found in our environment in the form of radio-electric waves, light or infrared rays.

Their frequency is in the 2450 MHz range.

Their behaviour:

• They are reflected by metals.
• They travel through all other materials.
• They are absorbed by water, fat and sugar molecules.

When food is exposed to microwaves, its molecules begin moving rapidly, which causes heating.

The penetration depth of waves into the food is approximately 2.5cm ; if the food is thicker, the core of the food will be cooked by conduction, as in traditional cooking.

It is valuable to note that the microwaves trigger within the food a simple thermal phenomenon and that they are not harmful to one's health.

- PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

This appliance's packing materials are recyclable. Recycle them and play a role in protecting the environment by disposing of them in municipal containers provided for this purpose.

Your appliance also contains various recyclable materials. Thus it is stamped with this logo to indicate to you that used appliances should be mixed with other waste. The recycling of appliances organised by your manufacturer will take

place under the best conditions, in compliance with European directive 2002/96/CE concerning electrical and electronic equipment waste.

BEFORE HOOK-UP

Warning:

Ensure that your appliance has not suffered any damage during transport (deformed seal or door, etc...). If you see any kind of damage, before doing anything else, contact your retailer.

In order to easily locate the reference information for your appliance, we recommend that you note these data on the "After-Sales Service Department and Customer Relations" page.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Ensure that:

• The electrical installation has sufficient voltage.
• The electrical wires are in good condition.
• The dia meter of the wires complies with the installation requirements.
• Your electrical installation is equipped with 16- ampere thermal-sensitive protection.

In case of doubt, consult your electrician-installer.

The electrical connections are made before the appliance is installed in its housing.

Electrical safety must be provided by a correct build-in. During installation and maintenance operations, the appliance must be unplugged from the electrical grid; fuses must be cut off or removed.

The oven must be connected with a power cable (standardized) with three 1.5 mm2 conductors (1 ph + 1 N + ground) that must be connected to a monophase 220-240 V network via a CEI 60083 standardised receptacle (1 ph + 1 N + ground lead) or in accordance with installation rules. The safety wire (green-yellow) is connected to the appliance's terminal and must be connected to the ground lead of the electrical set-up.

In the case of connections with an electric receptacle, it must remain accessible after installation of the appliance.

The oven's neutral conductor (blue wire) must be connected to the network's neutral conductor.

In your electrical installation, allow for a user-accessible device that must be able to separate the appliance from the main power supply and whose contact opening is at least 3 mm above all the terminals.

If the power cable is damaged, it should be replaced by the manufacturer, its after-sales service department or by a qua lified person to avoid danger.

Warning:

We cannot be held responsible for any incident resulting from an inexistent, defective, incorrect ground lead.

If the oven malfunctions in any way, unplug the appliance or remove the relevant fuse at the oven's connection lead-in.
