could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
19) Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since
they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.
20) All microwaves are tested and approved in accordance with current electromagnetic safety and
compatibility regulations and standards. As a precautionary measure, pacemaker manufacturers
recommend wearers to keep a minimum distance of 20-30 cm between an operating microwave
oven and the pacemaker in order to avoid possible interference with the pacemaker. If you
suspect that such an interference is occurring, turn the oven off immediately and contact the
pacemaker manufacturer.
21) If the oven overheats (prolonged use, use empty, etc), the safety thermostat could turn the oven off.
After cooling down, the oven will operate as normal.
22) The door or the outer surface may get hot when the appliance is operating.
N.B. When the oven is used for the first time it is possible that, for a period of approx. 10 minutes,
it may produce a "new" smell and a small amount of smoke. This is only a result of protective
substances applied to the heating element.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Connect this equipment only to electrical outlets
having a capacity of at least 10A.
Before using this oven, check to make certain that
the electrical network is the same as that indicated
on the equipment's data plate and that the electrical

INSTALLATION

1) After having removed the oven from its box, check to make certain that the turntable spindle (D)
is correctly fitted into its housing. Place the turntable support (G) in the middle of the cooking
chamber and set the turntable (F) on top of it. The spindle (D) must be inserted in the related
turntable housing.
2) Check to make certain that this equipment has not been damaged in transport and check
especially to see if the door opens and closes correctly.
3) Set the oven on a flat, steady surface at least 85 cm. above the floor and out of the reach of
small children, because when the oven is operating its door can get very hot.
30 cm
Also check to make sure the feed cord is not
appliance's rear wall, because the wall itself can get very hot
while the grill is being used.
5) Do not block the air intake. In particular, do not set anything atop
the oven and check to be certain that the air outlet slots (located
above, under and in the back of the oven) are ALWAYS FREE from
obstruction (see Figs. 2 and 3).
6) DO NOT remove the transparent film on the inner surface of the
door (see Fig. 4).
7) The majority of modern electronic appliances (TV, radio, stereo
systems etc) are shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. Certain
electronic appliances may not, however, be shielded from radio
frequency signals deriving from a microwave oven. You should
therefore keep a distance of at least 1-2 metres between these
appliances and the operating oven.
4) After having placed the oven on
its work level, make sure that
there is still a free space of at
least 5 cm. between the oven's
surfaces and the side as well as
5 cm
back walls, and a free space of
at least 30 cm. above the oven
