INSTALLATION OF YOUR MACHINE

a) Installing your machine safely

| If the oven is placed too close to a wall this could be burnt or stained. Make sure that curtains, etc. are not in contact with the oven.
---|---
Do not put anything between the base of the oven and the surface on which it stands. Anything placed under the oven could be burnt. Do not place anything on the oven when it is operating because the heat could possibly distort, crack or damage it.
Do not heat food in bottles or tins because the receptacle could break and burn you.
Always use the tongs when you insert the tray or take it out. You risk serious burns if you touch it.
Never pour water into the oven when it is hot.
When you unplug the machine always take hold of the plug. Never pull on the lead as this could break the wires inside.
When in use never place the machine near a gas burner, a source of high heat or an electric fan, etc. This could damage the temperature control.
Never splash the power cable or handle the machine with wet hands. Always disconnect the lead after use or when the machine is left unsupervised. If it is left plugged in a malfunction could cause a fire.

When you cook dishes with oil, such as a roast chicken, it is recommended that 2 sheets of foil are used to reduce splashing. Place one sheet on the tray and the other on the chicken. In this way, the oil will run between the two sheets.

Warning:
Check that your machine has not been damaged during transport (door or seals distorted, etc.). If you note any damage whatsoever contact your dealer before continuing to use the machine.

b) Electrical connections

The oven must be connected to a suitable electrical socket. Make sure the plug is completely in the socket. Otherwise, it could overheat. Do not use a lighting socket. Never connect several plugs to the same socket.

• Dry all the parts carefully and assemble them. The machine can now be used. Heat the oven empty.

2. Shelf levels

You may adjust the height of the tray at 3 different levels depending on the dishes you want to cook. For example, when you prepare a gratin and you want the upper part to be cooked more, use the third level. To roast a chicken use the first or second level.
