Securely connect the plug of the oven to a standard 
earthed (grounded) household electrical outlet.

WARNING:

 Do not place the oven where heat, moisture 

or high humidity are generated, (for example, near 
or above a conventional oven) or near combustible 
materials (for example, soft furnishings).
Do not block or obstruct air vent openings.
Do not place objects on top of the oven. 

1.

  Remove all packing materials from the inside of 

the oven cavity. 

2.

  Check the oven carefully for any signs of damage.

3.

  Place oven on a secure, level surface, strong 

enough to take the oven weight, plus the heaviest 
item likely to be cooked in the oven. Do not place 
the oven in a cabinet.

4.

  Select a level surface that provides enough open 

space for the intake and/or outlet vents.

 

The rear surface of appliance shall be placed 
against a wall.

 

•  A minimum space of 7.5 cm is required between 

the oven and any adjacent walls. One side must 
have open space.

 

•  Leave a minimum space of 30 cm above the  oven.

 • 

Do not remove the feet from the bottom of the oven.

 

•  Blocking the intake and/or outlet openings can 

damage the oven.

 

•

possible. Operation of the microwave oven may 
cause interference to your radio or TV reception.

NOTE:
