Take out all of the packaging. If there is a safe film over the oven, tear it off 

before use. Check carefully for damage. Should you find any, immediately 

notify your dealer or contact our Customer Service Team.

• 

Microwave ovens must be placed under dry and non-corrosive environments 

and kept away from heat and humidity sources, such as gas burners or water 

tanks.

• 

To ensure sufficient ventilation, the distance from the back of the microwave 

to the wall should be at least 10 cm., the distance from  the side of the 

microwave to the wall at least 5 cm and the free distance above the top 

surface at least 20 cm. The distance from the microwave to the ground should 

be at least 85 cm.

• 

The microwave should be positioned away from TVs, radios and other 

antennae, as this may cause interference or disturbance in the signal.

• 

The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible, and has a 

good grounding in case of leakage. A ground loop can be formed to avoid 

electric shock.

• 

The microwave oven must be operated with the door closed.

• 

The microwave oven must not be placed in a cabinet.

• 

The microwave oven is intended to be used free-standing.

• 

The back of the oven must be placed against a wall.

• 

During first use, the microwave oven may omit an odour and a slight amount 

of smoke. This is due to manufacturing residue or oil on the heating element or 

oven cavity. This is normal and should not occur after several uses. Keep doors 

and windows open when first using the microwave to ensure good ventilation. 

We recommend placing a cup of water on the glass tray and operating 

the microwave oven several times on the highest setting to help clean the 

microwave of residue.

• 

Check that there is no damage to the cord or any visible damage to the body

• 

Your appliance is now ready for normal use.

• 

Dispose of the packaging in a responsible manner
