Proper Installation

1 Select a flat, level surface approx. 85cm above the floor. The surface must support the weight of the microwave.
2 Secure room for ventilation, at least 10cm from the rear wall and both sides, and 20cm from above.
3 Do not install the microwave in hot or damp surroundings, such as next to other microwave ovens or radiators.
4 Do not install the microwave behind a decorative door in order to avoid overheating.
5 Conform to the power supply specifications of your microwave (please refer to your user manual). Use only approved extension cables if you need to use one.
6 Wipe the interior and the door seal with a damp cloth before using your microwave for the first time.

Note: If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. For your personal safety, plug the cable into a proper AC earthed socket.

Other Suggestions
