Important safety instructions
Positioning the unit:

Always place the microwave oven on a sufficiently stable, level and heat-resistant surface, ensuring
that it is protected from any heat source or excessive humidity.

Do not operate the appliance outdoors.

Sufficient ventilation must be ensured at all times. Therefore, do not place any objects on the unit, and
make sure that the following minimum distances from any wall or other object are maintained:
Sides:
7.5 cm;
Rear: 7.5 cm
Top: 30.0 cm
The feet on the base of the unit must not be removed.
The unit must not be installed inside a cupboard; when positioning the unit, also ensure that it is
not placed directly underneath a shelf or any other similar object.
Connection to the mains supply
The appliance should only be connected to an earthed socket installed in accordance with the
regulations. Make sure that the supply voltage corresponds with the voltage marked on the rating
label. This product complies with all binding CE labelling directives.
Before using for the first time:

Remove any exterior and interior packaging materials. All these materials are suitable for recycling.

Do not remove the grey-brown protective cover (5) next to the light on the right of the interior.

Caution: Keep any packaging materials well away from children; such materials are a potential
source of danger e.g. from suffocation.

After unpacking, and before every use, check the unit and its power cord carefully for any signs
of damage. Also ensure that the door, including the inspection window, door seals and locks, are
not damaged or bent and that it closes firmly against the support. This is important to ensure
that no microwave energy is allowed to escape during operation. For the same reason, the entire
casing as well as the inside of the oven must be carefully checked.
Should the unit show any signs of damage, it must not be used under any circumstances until
it has been repaired by a qualified technician.

permitted to carry out any cleaning or maintenance work on the appliance.

Children under 8 years of age must be kept well away from the appliance and its power cord
while connected to the mains, or while it is cooling down after use.

Before the appliance is used for the first time, or after extended periods of non-use, it should be
thoroughly cleaned as described in the section


Insert the roller ring and the glass turntable into the unit.

Do not operate the appliance without the roller ring and glass turntable properly fitted.

Before the microwave oven is used for the first time, let the appliance heat up on the grill setting
