INSTALLATION

Caution

If this appliance featuring magnetic door seals is to 
replace an older appliance having a spring lock 
(latch) on the door or lid, be sure to make that 
spring lock unusable before you discard the old 
appliance.
This will prevent it from becoming a death-trap for 
a child.

Location

The appliance should be installed well away from 
sources of heat such as radiators, boilers, direct 
sunlight etc.
Best performance is obtained with ambient 
temperature b18

The class of  your appliance is shown on its rating 
plate.

Make sure that there is nothing at the back, at the 
top and at the bottom of the appliance to obstruct 
air circulation.
For a more efficient operation of the appliance, the 
minimum distance between the top of the appliance 
and other overhanging kitchen furniture, if any, 
should be at least 100 mm (see Fig. A).
However, the best solution would be that shown in 
Fig. B with no overhanging furniture.
Two adjustable feet at the cabinet base allow 
accurate levelling of the appliance.

Rear spacers

In the bag with the documentation, there are two 
spacers which must be fitted in the two top corners.

Slacken the screws and insert the spacer under the 
screw head, then re-tighten the screws.

Electrical connection

Before you plug the appliance into an A.C. mains 
supply, make sure that the voltage and frequency 
shown on the rating plate correspond to your home 
supply.
A 6% fluctuation above or below the rated voltage is 
admissible.
To adapt the appliance to other voltages, use an 
autotransformer having a minimum output of 500 VA.

Important

It is essential that the appliance be connected to an 
efficient earth tap. For this purpose the supply 
cable plug incorporates a special earth contact. If 
the sockets of your domestic wiring system are not 
grounded, have the appliance connected to a 
separate ground wire by a qualified electrician in 
accordance with the existing safety regulations.

The manufacturer declines to accept any liability 
should this safety rule not be observed.

This appliance complies with E.E.C. directive 
No. 87/308 of 2.6.87 relative to radio interference

Cleaning the interior

Before using the appliance for the first time, wash 
the interior and all internal accessories with 
lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to 
remove the typical smell of a brand-new product,

will leave an odour or abrasive powders on the 
interior, as these will damage the finish.
