Positioning the microwave
The microwave oven must stand on a flat surface capable of bearing its weight (13.7 kg). There must be a clearance of at least 7.5 cm at the rear of the microwave oven, 7.5 cm at the sides and 30 cm above the oven 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 it is connected to the wrong voltage. When the oven is on, a beep is heard and the display (8) will show “0:00”.
Setting the clock
1.Press the “Stop/Clear/Clock” button (g); the hour figure will begin to flash.
2.Press the ”+” and ”-” buttons (i) to set the hour. This is a 24-hour clock.
3.Press the ”Start” button (h) to confirm the setting; the minute figure will begin to flash.
4.Press the ”+” and ”-” buttons to set the minutes.
5.Press the ”Start” button to complete the setting.
6.The two dots between the figures will start to flash, which means the clock is functioning.
NB! If the clock is not set, the display cannot show the remaining cooking time during cooking.
Inserting the glass turntable
Before using the microwave oven, ensure the glass turntable (5) is correctly seated on its roller ring (6) and spindle (7). The glass turntable must lie on top of the turntable ring in the recess of the microwave oven base, so that the three studs on the turntable shaft fit between those on the base of the glass turntable.
Before using the microwave oven for the first time
The first time the microwave oven is used, a small amount of smoke and smell may be emitted. This is due to oil residue from manufacture and is neither abnormal nor dangerous. Smells can be eliminated by starting the grill program and letting it run for a few minutes. Smells and smoke should disappear as a result. Repeat the procedure if this is not the case.
