4.2 Requirements for the installation location
Meaning
This section contains information to help you choose a suitable installation location for the microwave
combination oven. Inspect the intended installation location carefully to ensure it is suitable before taking
the appliance there and starting the installation.
Rules for setting up the appliance safely
To prevent hazards that arise from the installation site and environment of the appliances, the following
rules must be observed:
 It must be possible to comply with the operating conditions. For operating conditions, see 'Re-
quirements relating to the operating environment of the microwave combination oven' on page 23.
 There is a risk of fire from the heat emitted from hot surfaces. Therefore flammable materials, gases
or liquids must not be located near, on or below the appliance. When choosing where to install the
appliance it is essential to remember this requirement together with the minimum space required for
the appliance.
 Heat sources in the vicinity must lie at a minimum distance of 500 mm / 20 in.
 The appliance must be installed so that there is absolutely no possibility that liquid from the appliance
or liquid coming from cooking processes can reach deep-fat fryers or appliances that use hot, un-
covered fat. Deep-fat fryers or appliances that use hot, uncovered fat that are located in the vicinity
must lie at a minimum distance of 500 mm / 20 in.
 The appliance must not be installed directly under a fire alarm or sprinkler system. Fire alarm in-
stallations and sprinkler systems must be set up to handle the level of steam and vapour expected to
escape from the appliance when the door is opened.
 It must be possible to set up the supporting structure for the appliance (work surface, stand or
stacking kit) in the installation position so that it cannot tip over or slide about. The supporting surface
must satisfy the requirements listed below.
 Vibrations must generally be avoided when using wheeled oven stands or wheeled stacking kits.
Requirements for the supporting surface
The supporting surface must have the following properties:
 The supporting surface must be flat and level.
 The supporting surface must be able to bear the in-use weight of the appliance plus the weight of the
structure supporting the appliance.
 The structure supporting the appliance (work surface or stand) must be able to bear the in-use weight
of the appliance.

Actual space requirements

operate the microwave combination ovens safely, in particular to handle hot food safely.
Larger wall gaps are generally recommended to provide access for servicing.
Ventilation is not required but local codes prevail. These are the "authority having jurisdiction" as stated
by the NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION, INC. in NFPA 96, latest edition.
In the installation location, the following parts must not be covered, adjusted or blocked (see also
'Design and function of the microwave combination oven' on page 11):
 Air vent on the rear of the appliance
