the food in order to ensure that it has an even temperature.
17) Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that
could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
18)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.
19)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.
20)The door or the outer surface may get hot when the appliance is operating.
When using commercially available bottle sterilisers, before turning the oven on, ALWAYS make
sure the container is filled with the quantity of water indicated by the manufacturer.
INSTALLATION
1) After having removed the oven from its box, check to make certain that the turntable spindle (B) is cor-
rectly fitted into its housing. Place the turntable support (E) in the middle of the cooking chamber and
set the turntable (D) on top of it. The spindle (B) must be inserted in the related turntable housing.
2) Check to make certain that this equipment has not been damaged in transport and check espe-
cially to see if the door opens and closes correctly.
3) Place this oven on a surface so that there remains a space of about 5 cm. between the oven’s
surface portions and the walls to the side and the back, and a free space of at least 20 cm.
above the oven.
4) Never block up or otherwise obstruct the air outlet holes. In particular, never place anything on
the oven and check to be certain that the air and steam outlet slots (located atop the oven) are
ALWAYS FREE.
5) DO NOT remove the transparent film on the inner surface of the door.
6) 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.
ONLY FOR SOME MODELS: The microwave output power is also indicated
inside this simbol, placed on the oven door.
(ONLY FOR U.K.) The letter indicates the heating category to which your
oven belongs: some pre-cooked food packages (frozen or chilled) give heat-
ing instructions corresponding to the various categories. Follow those instruc-
tions related to the category indicated for your oven.
OUTPUT POWER
The microwave output power is written on the rating plate placed on the rear side of the appliance
(see “MICRO OUTPUT”). When you consult the tables, always look up your oven’s output power. It
will be useful also when you are consulting cookbooks intended for use with microwave ovens.
The levels of intermediate power available are shown on page 4. This information will be useful for
you to consult the prescription pads for microwaves currently on sale.
