Placement of Your Oven

1.Oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface. For proper operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow to the air vents i.e. 5 cm (2 inches) at the side and rear; 20 cm (8 inches) at the top.

2.Do not place the microwave oven on a shelf directly above a gas or electric hob. This may be a safety hazard and the oven may be damaged.

It is dangerous to position this oven on a shelf which is so high that food cannot be safely removed by the user. The oven may be stacked. (see page 17)

3.Do not block air vents on the rear and bottom of the cabinet. If air vents are blocked during operation, the oven may overheat. If the oven overheats, a thermal safety device will turn the oven off. The oven will remain inoperable with blank display until it has cooled.

4. Do not use the oven outdoors.

Using Your Oven
