Positioning the unit
● Always place the microwave oven on a stable, level and heat-resistant surface, ensuring
that it is protected from any heat source or excessive humidity.
● Do not operate the appliance outdoors.
● Sufficient ventilation must be ensured at all times. Do not place any objects on the unit,
and make sure that the following minimum distances from any wall or other object are
maintained:
Side: 5 cm
Rear: 10 cm
Top: 20 cm
The feet on the base of the unit must not be removed.
At the back of the unit there are two spacers, which must be folded out and locked
before use.
The unit must not be installed inside a cupboard; when positioning the unit, also ensure
that it is not placed directly underneath a cupboard or any other similar object.
Connection to the mains supply
The appliance should only be connected to an earthed socket installed in accordance with
the regulations. Make sure that the supply voltage corresponds with the voltage marked on
the rating label. This product complies with all binding CE labelling directives.
Before using for the first time
● Remove any exterior and interior packaging materials. All these materials are suitable
for recycling.
● Caution: Keep any packaging materials well away from children, as they are a potential
source of danger e.g. from suffocation.
● After unpacking and every time before connecting the unit to the power supply, check
the unit and its power cord carefully for any signs of damage. Also ensure that the door,
including the viewing window and door locks, are not damaged or bent and that it closes
firmly against the support. This is important to ensure that no microwave energy is
allowed to escape during operation. For the same reason, the entire casing as well as the
inside of the oven must be carefully checked.
● Should the unit show any signs of damage, it must not be used under any circumstances
until it has been repaired by a qualified technician.
● Do not remove the protective film covering the inside of the door, nor the turntable
drive unit or the grey-brown protective cover (4) next to the light on the right of the
interior.
● Fold out the two rectangular white spacers at the back of the unit and lock them into
place.
● Insert the roller ring and the glass turntable into the unit.
● Before the microwave appliance is used for the first time, let it heat up on the grill setting
(without the microwave function activated) for approximately 10 minutes. This will
remove the smell typically encountered when first switching on a grill. A little smoke
may be emitted; this is quite normal, but ensure there is sufficient ventilation.
