INSTALLATION

Before connection

• 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.

Location

• The appliance should be installed at a distance of 85 cm above the floor.
• Place the oven on a flat and horizontal surface, away from any source of heat or steam. Make sure that air may circulate freely around the oven.
• Check all the characteristics and building in conditions in the user's manual supplied with the appliance.
• Make sure that nothing obstructs the ventilation louvers at the back of the appliance.
• 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.

Electrical connection

• Your installation must be protected by a 10 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.

WARNING

- 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.

- Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.

- 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; you could cause damage requiring repair by an authorized technician.

- When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition.

- It is not advisable to use metal recipients, forks, spoons, knives, metal ties, or staples for deep-freeze bags.

- The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption in order to avoid burns.

- Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions have been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.

- Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers; they are liable to explode.

- Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended.

- Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container.

- 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 incidents, never use the same cooking times as those recommended for traditional ovens.

- If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.

- In order to evacuate moisture, your appliance is fitted with a delayed ventilation function. Depending on the applied cooking mode (solo / grill / combination), the oven ventilation will continue to operate after the cooking end.
