Place the oven on a flat level surface 85 cm above the floor. The surface should
be strong enough to safety bear the weight of the oven.
1.
When you install your oven, make sure there is
adequate ventilation for your oven by leaving at least 10
cm (4 inches) of space behind and, on the sides of the
oven and 20 cm (8 inches) of space above.

2.
Remove all packing materials inside the oven.
Install the roller ring and turntable.
Check that the turntable rotates freely.
3.
This microwave oven has to be positioned so that plug is accessible.
The appliance is not intended for installing in road vehicles, caravans and
similar vehicles etc.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or
assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.
For your personal safety, plug the cable into a 3-pin, 240 Volt, 50 Hz, AC
earthed socket. If the power cable of this appliance is damaged, it must be
replaced by a special cable.
Do not install the microwave oven in hot or damp surroundings like next to
a traditional oven or radiator. The power supply specifications of the oven
must be respected and any extension cable used must be of the same
standard as the power cable supplied with the oven. Wipe the interior and
the door seal with a damp cloth before using your microwave oven for the
first time.
Cooking principle
1.
The microwaves generated by the magnetron are
distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the
turntable. The food is thus cooked evenly.
2.
The microwaves are absorbed by the food up to a
depth of about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Cooking then continues
as the heat is dissipated within the food.
3.
Cooking times vary according to the container used and
the properties of the food.
• Quantity and density
• Water content
• Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)
As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking continues
even when you have taken the food out of the oven. Standing times specified in
recipes and in this booklet must therefore be respected to ensure:
• Even cooking of the food right to the centre
• The same temperature throughout the food
