Warranty Information

Consult your warranty booklet for further advice regarding service and warranty.

Starting Up and Basic Operations

Before connecting, ensure the voltage matches your home's supply. Do not remove protective plates from the oven cavity. Place the oven on a stable, level surface at least 850 mm from the floor. Ensure adequate ventilation (at least 20 cm above) and keep the oven away from heat sources. Check for any damage before operating. If the appliance is plugged in after a power failure, the display will be blank and can be set to a 24-hour clock. The oven only operates with the door firmly closed. Poor TV reception may occur if the oven is located near a TV or radio.

Safety Instructions

Do not use flammable materials in or near the oven. Avoid drying textiles, paper, or other combustible materials. If smoke or ignition occurs, close the door, turn off the oven, and disconnect power. Do not over-cook food. Never leave the oven unattended when using combustible materials. Avoid corrosive chemicals. Do not hang heavy items on the door. Children should only use the appliance with adult supervision. Never heat whole eggs, as they may explode. Regularly inspect door seals for damage.

Precautions

The appliance is for domestic use only. Do not operate without food inside. Keep ventilation openings clear. If practicing operation, place a glass of water inside. Do not store or use outdoors. Keep away from sinks and wet areas. Do not use the cavity for storage. Remove wire twist-ties from bags. Do not deep-fry.

Using Accessories

Ensure accessories are microwave-proof. Metal accessories can cause sparking. The turntable must rotate freely. Use the provided accessories like the cover, wire rack, crisp handle, crisp plate, glass turntable, and baking plate as instructed for specific functions. Always use the crisp handle or oven mitts to remove hot accessories.
