Unpacking the oven

Remove all packaging and accessories from inside and outside the appliance, and examine it carefully to see if it has suffered any visible damage during transport.

If the appliance has suffered visible damage such as door deformation, do not use it and contact the after-sales department of your retailer.

Before using your microwave oven, clean the inside with a damp cloth.

Earthing

This microwave oven is equipped with an earthed electrical outlet. Earthing reduces the risk of electric shock by allowing a possible short-circuit current to escape through the earth wire.

WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug may pose a risk of electric shock.

For questions concerning the earthing or electrical connection, please consult a qualified individual.

If an extension is required, use only a three-wire extension with earthing. Installing the appliance

installation (built-in)

• The appliance must be installed in accordance with national electrical installation rules.
• Do not install your microwave oven on a hob or any appliance that produces heat. This may damage your oven and the warranty will not apply in this case.
• Do not install this microwave oven outside or in very humid or excessively hot rooms.
• Neither should you place this microwave oven near a radio or television set, as the magnetic field from the oven may create interference and noise.
• Do not place anything on top of the microwave oven.
• Before plugging in your appliance, make sure the electrical voltage in your home matches that on the microwave oven nameplate and that the power cord plug is the right kind for the outlet.
• Plug your microwave oven into a grounded wall outlet.
• WARNING! You must not remove the mica plate (wave outlet) which is screwed into the oven cavity to protect the magnetron.

First use

As the cavity of the microwave oven or the heating elements may contain grease or certain manufacturing residues, it is common for a slight odour to be released (or even a little smoke) during first use. This is normal and will stop after several uses. Ventilate your room by opening the doors and windows to dispel odours.

Utensil guide

Glass turntable plate

• Never place the glass plate upside down. It is designed to fit perfectly on the drive coupler.
• The glass plate and turntable ring must always be in position in the microwave oven when in use.
• Handle the plate carefully to avoid breaking it.
• If the glass plate is cracked or broken or if the turntable ring is damaged, do not use the microwave oven and contact your store's after-sales service.
• Always place the food and containers on the glass plate for cooking. Make sure the dish is properly centred in the middle of the glass plate to prevent it from knocking against the walls or door.

Safety warning symbols and icons for a microwave oven, including crossed-out and open outlets with text labels.

• It is advisable to cover food with a steam cover or plastic film to:
• prevent excessive evaporation (mainly during very long cooking times);
• reduce cooking times;
• avoid drying out the food;
• preserve the taste.
• The cover must have small openings and plastic films must be pierced with a few holes so that the pressure doesn't build up. Not all types of plastic film are microwave-safe. See package directions.

Using the height booster

Place the height booster on the turntable. It allows heat to circulate properly around the food. You can also use it to heat two dishes simultaneously.

- The height booster can be used in Grill mode and with the combined

functions "C-1" and "C-2" (microwave and grill). It should never be used in microwave mode alone.

Cleaning the inside of the microwave

• Food spills and splashes inside the oven should be cleaned daily with a soft sponge and warm, soapy water.
• Also clean the door seals. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
• Do not use abrasive detergents or scouring sponges for cleaning as this may scratch the coatings or the door.
• Regularly check the cleanliness of the mica plate (wave outlet) located on the right side of the oven cavity.
• Warning: excessive accumulation of food residue on the mica plate can cause electric arcs inside the cavity. Encrusted splashes could overheat, smoke or start a fire.
• Never remove the mica plate (waveguide).
• You can clean the glass turntable, drive coupler and turntable plate ring once they have cooled down with a soft sponge and hot soapy water. Rinse them with clean water and dry them thoroughly with a soft cloth.
• Cleaning tip: for easy cleaning of the interior surfaces of the oven, place half a lemon in a bowl of water and heat at 100% microwave power for 2 minutes. Then wipe the inside of the oven with a soft, dry cloth.

Cleaning the outside of the oven

troubleshooting guide

CAUTION: to prevent any danger, it's imperative, in the event of a problem, to contact the after-sales department of your retailer or a qualified electrician approved for this type of repair.

Normal operation
Microwave oven interfering with your television reception.	Television and radio reception may be interfered with while the microwave oven is running. This interference is similar to that generated by small electrical appliances such as blenders, vacuum cleaners and electric fans. This is normal.
Oven light dim. During microwave cooking at low power, the oven light may dim. This is normal.
Steam builds up on the door and hot air escapes from the vents.	During cooking, steam is released from the food. This generally escapes through the vents, but a small amount accumulates on cold surfaces like the door of the oven. This is normal.
Accidental use of the oven without food inside.	Using the oven when it's empty will not damage it if it's only for a short period. But this is not recommended.

Problems Possible causes	Solutions
The oven no longer works.	The power cord is not properly plugged in.	Unplug the appliance, wait for 10 seconds and plug it back in.
	Fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped.	Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
	Problem with the electrical outlet.	Try the outlet by plugging in other electrical appliances.
The oven does not heat. The door is not closed properly.		Close the door properly.
The glass turntable plate makes a noise when the microwave oven is on.	The surface, on which the wheels of the turntable roller ring rest, and the bottom of the oven are dirty.	Read the paragraph on "Cleaning & Maintenance" to clean dirty surfaces.

In any case, in the event of a malfunction, unplug the device from the socket and contact the after-sales service of your retailer. Do not repair the appliance yourself.
