INSTALLATION
Prior to connecting
Check that the voltage on the rating plate
corresponds to the voltage in your home.
•
Do not remove the microwave inlet protec-
tion plates located on the side of the oven ca-
vity wall. They prevent grease & food particles
from entering the microwave inlet channels.

Place the oven on a stable, even surface that
is strong enough to hold the oven and the
food utensils you put in it. Use carefully when
handling.
•
Position the oven at a distance from other
heating sources.
For sufficient venti-
lation there must be a space of at
least 30 cm
above the oven. Ensure that
the space underneath, above and around
the oven is empty to allow for proper airflow.
The microwave oven shall not be
placed in a cabinet.
