Meaning
This section contains information to help you choose a suitable installation location for the microwave combination oven.
Inspect the intended installation location carefully to ensure it is suitable before taking the appliance there and starting the
installation.
Rules for setting up the appliance safely
To prevent hazards that arise from the installation site and environment of the appliances, the following rules must be
observed:
▪
It must be possible to comply with the operating conditions. For operating conditions, see '
Requirements relating to the
operating environment of the microwave combination oven
' on page 12.
▪
There is a risk of fire from the heat emitted from hot surfaces. Therefore, flammable materials, gases or liquids must not
be located near, on or below the appliance. When choosing where to install the appliance it is essential to remember
this requirement together with the minimum space required for the appliance.
▪
Heat sources in the vicinity must lie at a minimum distance of 500 mm / 20 in.
▪
The appliance must be installed so that there is absolutely no possibility that liquid from the appliance or liquid coming
from cooking processes can reach deep-fat fryers or appliances that use hot, uncovered fat. Deep-fat fryers or
appliances that use hot, uncovered fat that are located in the vicinity must lie at a minimum distance of 500 mm / 20 in.
▪
The appliance must not be installed directly under a fire alarm or sprinkler system. Fire alarm installations and sprinkler
systems must be set up to handle the level of steam and vapour expected to escape from the appliance when the door
is opened.
▪
It must be possible to set up the supporting structure for the appliance (work surface, stand or stacking kit) in the
installation position so that it cannot tip over or slide about. The supporting surface must satisfy the requirements listed
below.
▪
Vibrations must generally be avoided when using wheeled oven stands or wheeled stacking kits.
