Exterior oven surfaces, including air vents
on the cabinet and the oven door will get
hot during CONVECTION, GRILL or
COMBINATION involving CONVECTION,
GRILL or STEAM functions. To prevent
burns, take care when opening or closing
the door and when inserting or removing
food and accessories. The oven
has heaters situated in the
top and rear of the oven.
During and after using either
the CONVECTION, GRILL or
COMBINATION involving
CONVECTION, GRILL or
STEAM functions, all inside surfaces of
the oven will be very hot during and after
using either the CONVECTION, GRILL or
COMBINATION functions. To prevent
burns, care should be taken to avoid
touching the inside surfaces of the oven
or hot water inside the steam trough.

Placement of your oven

This oven is intended for counter-top household use only. It is not
intended for built-in use or for use inside a cupboard.
1. Oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface 850mm above floor
level. For proper operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow, i.e.
5cm/2" at one side, the other being open; 15cm/6" clear over the top;
10cm/4" at the rear.
2. Do not place the microwave oven on a shelf directly above a gas or
electric hob. This may be a safety hazard and the oven may be
damaged.
3. Do not block air vents on the rear and bottom or top of the cabinet.
Do not place any articles on the top of the oven over the vents. If
air vents are blocked during operation, the oven may overheat. If
the oven overheats, a thermal safety device will turn the oven off.
The oven will remain inoperable with blank display until it has
cooled.
4. Do not use outdoors.
2. Children should be kept
away from the oven at
all times and should
only be allowed to
operate the oven
under adult supervision due to tempera-
tures generated.
3. During and after cooking with steam
function, do not open the oven door when
your face is very close to the oven. Care
must be taken when opening the door as
steam may cause injury.
4. To prevent burns, take care of hot
surfaces which may exist from the
cooking process or from hot water in the
trough area.
CAUTION!: Steam may billow out when
you open the door. If there is steam in
the oven, do not reach in with your
bare hands! Risk of burns! Use oven
gloves.
