Important Safety Instructions

INSTALLATION
EXAMINE YOUR OVEN
Unpack the oven, remove all packing material, and examine the oven for any
damage such as dents, broken door latches or cracks in the door. Notify the dealer
immediately if the unit is damaged. DO NOT install it if the unit is damaged.
EARTHING
IMPORTANT: FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS OVEN MUST BE PROPERLY
EARTHED.
When an outlet is not earthed, it is personal responsibility and obligation of the
customer to have it replaced with a properly earthed outlet.
VOLTAGE AND POWER WARNING
The voltage used must be the same as specified on the oven. Using another
voltage than that which is specified is dangerous, and may result in a fire or other
type of accident causing damage. Do not plug your oven in via an extension cable
as this can be dangerous. The back of the oven heats up during use. Do not allow
the cord to be in contact with the back of the oven or cabinet surface.
PLACEMENT OF THE OVEN
Locate the oven on a surface which is flat and stable. The oven is freestanding
type and shall not be placed in a cabinet. Do not place the oven in a hot or damp
place; e.g. near a gas or electric range. Do not operate the oven when the room
temperature is higher than 40°C and/or the humidity is more than 85%. Free airflow
around the oven is important. There is a possibility of a small amount of
interference with weak broadcast signals if the oven is too close to a radio or TV.
For safe and efficient operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow to the air
vents i.e. at least 10 cm at both sides, 3 cm at the rear and 20 cm at the top. The
front side must not be blocked. Do not install the oven at 150 cm or more above the
floor. Doing so may result in danger of burns. Only a combination of same models
are allowed when stacking. Oven must be placed for easy access to control panel
and door and also, for disconnect power or shut off power by fuse or circuit
breaker.
