INSTALLATION

If this appliance – equipped with magnetic door 
seals – replaces an older appliance featuring a 
spring lock (mechanical latch) on the door or lid, 
please ensure that this lock is made completely 
unusable before «throwing out» the old appliance. 
This will prevent it from becoming a death-trap for 
a child.

Location

Place the appliance as far away as possible from 
sources of heat, e.g. radiators, heaters, direct 
sunlight, etc. The best results are achieved with a 
room temperature of b18

°

C and +43

°

C.

Make sure that there is nothing hindering air 
circulation at the back, bottom or top of the 
appliance. To achieve the best performance, the top 
of the appliance – if set under a wall cabinet – should 
be at least 5 mm away from the base of the cabinet 
(Figure 1-A). However, the appliance should ideally 
not be installed underneath wall cabinets (as shown 
in Figure 1-B).
It can be positioned with its sides set tight against 
adjacent furniture as long as air is able to circulate 
freely behind and above it.
One or more adjustable feet mounted on the base of 
the appliance make it possible to set it perfectly 
level.

Power connection

Before plugging in the appliance to the mains 
socket, check that the voltage and frequency 
indicated on the appliance’s rating plate are the 
same as those provided by your home power supply. 
A 6% fluctuation above or below rated voltage is 
acceptable. For operation using different voltages, 
you should use an autotransformer of suitable 
capacity.

The appliance MUST be connected to an efficient earth or 
ground tap.

The supply-lead plug in fact incorporates a special 
earth or ground contact for this purpose.
If by any chance the sockets of your domestic wiring 
system are not earthed, the appliance must be 
connected to a separate earth or ground wire by a 
qualified electrician, in accordance with existing 
safety regulations.

The manufacturer declines to accept any liability if this 
accident-prevention procedure is not followed.

This appliance complies with EEC directive number 87/

Cleaning the appliance’s interior
