4. Do not block air vents on the top and the sides of
the cabinet and also do not place any articles on
the top of the oven. If air vents are blocked during
operation, the oven may overheat, and this may
lead to malfunctioning. Hot air escapes from the
vents, so be sure not to obstruct it or let curtains
come between the oven and the rear wall.
5. Place the oven as far away from radios and TV’s
as possible. This oven does conform to EEC
requirements* of radio interference suppression,
but some interference may occur if it is placed too
close to a radio or TV, so keep them as far apart
as possible.
6. If positioned in a corner, leave a gap of at least
5,0 cm from the walls to meet ventilation
demands.

Important! The oven can be placed almost anywhere

in the kitchen. Make sure the oven is placed on a flat,
level surface and that vents as well as the surface
underneath the oven are not blocked (for sufficient
ventilation).

* This appliance conforms to the requirements of

EEC Radio Interference Directive 87/308/EEC.

WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

The manufacturer declines any liability should this safety measure not be observed.

• If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not suitable for your socket outlet, it must be cut off and the

• Remove the fuse from the cut off plug. The cut off plug should then be disposed of to prevent the hazard of
shocks in case it should be plugged into a 13 Amp socket in another part of your home.

IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

GREEN AND YELLOW EARTH

BLUE NEUTRAL
BROWN LIVE

If you fit your own plug, the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not correspond with
the markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

• Connect the green and yellow (earth) wire to the terminal in the plug
which is marked with the letter ”E” or the earth symbol ( ) or
coloured green and yellow.

• Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug which is
marked with the letter ”N” or coloured black.

• Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug which is
marked with the letter ”L” or coloured red.

Care and cleaning
The oven must always be clean. Residue of food from spillovers or spatters will attract microwave energy
causing it to burn on. This could reduce the efficiency of the oven and may cause bad odours. Do not attempt
to tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to any part of the oven. Repairs should only be done by a
qualified service technician.

Be sure the oven is disconnected from the electricity supply before cleaning.

Cleaning the accessories (turntable and support)

Clean them with mild detergent after removing them from the cavity. The turntable support should be carefully
handled.

CAUTION: The inside of the oven and turntable get very hot, so do not touch them immediately after use.

Cleaning the interior

Always keep the inside of the oven clean. Wipe up spill-overs and food spatters immediately. Deposits that are
allowed to remain on the oven walls, door seal and door surface will absorb microwave energy, reduce the
efficiency of the oven, and possibly damage the oven interior. Use mild, liquid detergent, warm water and a
soft, clean cloth to remove deposits.

NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS, COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS OR STEEL WOOL PADS ON
ANY PART OF THE MICROWAVE OVEN.

To loosen difficult deposits, boil a cup of water in the microwave oven for 2 or 3 minutes.

NEVER USE A KNIFE OR ANY UTENSIL TO REMOVE DEPOSITS FROM OVEN SURFACES.

To remove odours from the oven interior, boil a cup of water plus 2 tablespoons of lemon juice for 5 minutes.

Cleaning the exterior

Open the oven door when cleaning the control panel. This will prevent the oven from being turned on
accidentally. You should clean outside surfaces of the oven with mild liquid detergent and water followed by a
wiping with clear water to remove any excess detergent. Dry with a soft cloth.

Spray-on window cleaners or all purpose spray-on kitchen cleaners can also be used. Never use abrasive
cleaners, scouring pads or harsh chemicals on outside surfaces of your oven. To prevent damage to the
working parts, do not allow water to seep into ventilation openings.
