PREPARING THE APPLIANCE

Check whether there is any visible damage (e.g. in the form of dents or similar),
if the door closes properly, and if the hinges are in order.
If the appliance appears to have been damaged, contact the shop where you
bought it, and do not use it until it has been checked by an authorised specialist.
Before use, check that you have removed all packaging inside and out.
