Installing Your Microwave Oven
Place the oven on a flat, level surface that strong
enough to safely bear the weight of the oven.

When you install your oven, make sure there is
10cm

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 above.
10cm
on the side
2.
Remove all packing materials inside the oven.
Install the roller ring and turntable.
Check that the turntable rotates freely.
Never block the air vents as the oven may overheat and
automatically switch itself off. It will remain inoperable until it
has cooled sufficiently.
For your personal safety, plug the cable into a 3-pin, 230 Volt,
50Hz, AC earthed socket. If the power cable of this appliance
is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a
hazard.
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.
How a Microwave Oven Works
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 recipient
used and the properties of the food:
•
•
•
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
