• Supervise its use by older children, the elderly or infirm. If allowing older children to use the appliance
without supervision, please ensure that they are aware of how a microwave oven works and understand
the dangers of improper use.
Technical safety
• If the connection cable is damaged, the new cable must be fitted by a ILVE approved service
technician.
• Do not use the microwave if the door is warped, the door hinges are loose, holes or cracks are visible
in the casing, the door or the oven interior walls. Operating the appliance with this type of damage will
result in microwave leakage and present a hazard to the user.
• Never open the casing of the appliance. Tampering with electrical connections or components and
mechanical parts is highly dangerous and can cause operational faults or electric shock.
• Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, make sure that the rating on the data plate
corresponds to the voltage and frequency of the household supply. This data must correspond in order
to avoid risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
• Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do
not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
• The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it
and an effective earthing system which complies with local and national safety regulations. It is most
important that this basic safety requirement is present and regularly tested and where there is any
doubt, the on-site electrical wiring should be inspected by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
• The appliance must be built in before operation to ensure that no electrical components are accessible.
• Repairs may only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in accordance with
national and local safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.
• The appliance is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when it is switched off at the wall
socket and the plug removed or the mains fuse is disconnected or the screw-out fuse is removed
(in countries where this is applicable).
• This equipment may only be used in mobile installations such as ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk
assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.
• In countries where there are areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other
vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all
times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the
guarantee.
