PREPARING THE MICROWAVE OVEN
Each individual microwave oven is checked at the factory, but for safety’s
sake, after unpacking the appliance, you should check carefully that it has
not been damaged during transport. Check whether there is any visible
damage (e.g. in the form of dents or similar), if the oven door (3) closes
properly, and if the hinges are in order. If it appears that the microwave
oven has been damaged, you must contact the store where you bought it,
and do not use it until it has been checked by an authorised specialist.
Before using the microwave oven, you should check that you have
removed all packaging both inside and outside.
Positioning the microwave oven
The microwave oven should be placed on a flat surface that can support
its weight (16 kg). There must be clearance of at least 10 cm at the rear, 8
cm at the sides and 30 cm above to ensure sufficient ventilation.
Connecting the microwave oven
The microwave oven must be connected to a 230-volt AC current, 50 Hz.
The guarantee is not valid if the microwave oven is connected to the wrong
voltage. When the power to the appliance is switched on, a beep is heard
and the display (d) shows "00.0".
Inserting the glass turntable
Before using the microwave oven, ensure the glass turntable (7) is correctly
seated on its roller ring (8) and spindle (9). The glass turntable should be on
the roller ring in the recess in the bottom of the microwave oven, so the pin
on the spindle fits between two of the three pins on the underneath of the
glass turntable.
Before using the microwave oven for the first time
The first time the microwave oven is used, it may give off a little smoke and
a slight odour. This is due to oil residue from production and is neither
abnormal nor dangerous. To eliminate the odour, start grill programme no.
1 and leave to run for several minutes. The odour and smoke should then
disappear. If not, repeat this procedure.
