XXXXXXXXXXXXIMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

To avoid the danger of fire

The microwave oven should not be left unattended during operation. Power levels that are too high or cooking times that are too long may overheat foods resulting in a fire.

The electrical outlet must be readily accessible so that the unit can be unplugged easily in an emergency.

The AC power supply must be 230 V, 50 Hz, with a minimum 16 A distribution line fuse, or a minimum 16 A distribution circuit breaker.

It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

Do not store or use the oven outdoors.

If food being heated begins to smoke, DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR. Turn off and unplug the oven and wait until the food has stopped smoking. Opening the door while food is smoking may cause a fire.

Only use microwave-safe containers and utensils. See Page 20.

Do not leave the oven unattended when using disposable plastic, paper or other combustible food containers.

Clean the waveguide cover, the oven cavity and the turntable after use. These must be dry and free from grease. Built-up grease may overheat and begin to smoke or catch fire.

Do not place flammable materials near the oven or ventilation openings. Do not block the ventilation openings.

Remove all metallic seals, wire twists, etc., from food and food packages. Arcing on metallic surfaces may cause a fire.

Do not use the microwave oven to heat oil for deep frying. The temperature cannot be controlled and the oil may catch fire.

To make popcorn, only use special microwave popcorn makers.

Do not store food or any other items inside the oven.

Check the settings after you start the oven to ensure the oven is operating as desired.

To avoid the possibility of injury

WARNING:

Do not operate the oven if it is damaged or malfunctioning. Check the following before use:

a) The door; make sure the door closes properly and ensure it is not misaligned or warped.

b) The hinges and door safety latches; check to make sure they are not broken or loose.

c) The door seals and sealing surfaces; ensure that they have not been damaged.

d) Inside the oven cavity or on the door; make sure there are no dents.

e) The power supply cord and plug; ensure that they are not damaged.

Never adjust, repair or modify the oven yourself. It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

Do not operate the oven with the door open or alter the door safety latches in any way.

Do not operate the oven if there is an object between the door seals and sealing surfaces.

Do not allow grease or dirt to build up on the door seals and adjacent parts. Follow the instructions for "Care & Cleaning" on page 34. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to a deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

Individuals with PACEMAKERS should check with their doctor or the manufacturer of the pacemaker for precautions regarding microwave ovens.

To avoid the possibility of electric shock

Under no circumstances should you remove the outer cabinet.

Never spill or insert any objects into the door lock openings or ventilation openings. In the event of a spill, turn off and unplug the oven immediately and call an authorised ZANUSSI service agent.

Do not immerse the power supply cord or plug in water or any other liquid.

IMPORTANT SAPEX INSTRUCTIONS

Do not allow the power supply cord to run over any hot or sharp surfaces, such as the hot air vent area at the top rear of the oven.

Do not attempt to replace the oven lamp yourself or allow anyone who is not authorised by ZANUSSI to do so. If the oven lamp fails, please consult your dealer or an authorised ZANUSSI service agent.

If the power supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced with a special cord. The exchange must be made by an authorised ZANUSSI service agent.

To avoid the possibility of explosion and sudden boiling:

WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.

Never use sealed containers. Remove seals and lids before use. Sealed containers can explode due to a build up of pressure even after the oven has been turned off.

Take care when microwaving liquids. Use a wide-mouthed container to allow bubbles to escape.

Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when handling the container.

To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and possible scalding:

1. Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.
2. It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar utensil into the liquid whilst reheating.
3. Let liquid stand for at least 20 seconds in the oven at the end of cooking time to prevent delayed eruptive boiling.

Do not cook eggs in their shells, and whole hard boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode even after microwave cooking has ended. To cook or reheat eggs which have not been scrambled or mixed, pierce the yolks and the whites, or the eggs may explode. Shell and slice hard boiled eggs before reheating them in the microwave oven.

Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes, sausages and fruit before cooking, or they may explode.

To avoid the possibility of burns

Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing food from the oven to prevent burns.

Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands to avoid steam burns.

To avoid burns, always test food temperature and stir before serving and pay special attention to the temperature of food and drink given to babies, children or the elderly.

Temperature of the container is not a true indication of the temperature of the food or drink; always check the food temperature.

Always stand back from the oven door when opening, to avoid burns from escaping steam and heat.

Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release steam and avoid burns.

Keep children away from the door to prevent them burning themselves.

Do not touch the oven door, outer cabinet, rear cabinet, oven cavity, ventilation openings, accessories and dishes during GRILL mode, CONVECTION mode, DUAL mode, AUTO COOK and AUTO COOK FROM FROZEN operation as they will become hot. Before cleaning make sure they are not hot.

To avoid misuse by children

WARNING: Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions have been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.

Do not lean or swing on the oven door. Do not play with the oven or use it as a toy.

Children should be taught all important safety instructions: use of pot holders, careful removal of food coverings; paying special attention to packaging (e.g. self-heating materials) designed to make food crisp, as they may be extra hot.

XXXXXXXXXXXXIMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION

Your oven has 5 power levels. To choose the power level for cooking, follow the advice given in the recipe section. Generally the following recommendations apply:

900 W used for fast cooking or reheating e.g. soup, casseroles, canned food, hot beverages, vegetables, fish, etc.

630 W used for longer cooking of dense foods such as roast joints, meat loaf and plated meals, also for sensitive dishes such as cheese sauce and sponge cakes. At this reduced setting, the sauce will not boil over and food will cook evenly without over cooking at the sides.

450 W for dense foods which require a long cooking time when cooked conventionally, eg. beef dishes, it is advisable to use this power setting to ensure the meat will be tender.

270 W (Defrost setting) to defrost, select this power setting, to ensure that the dish defrosts evenly. This setting is also ideal for simmering rice, pasta, dumplings and cooking egg custard.

90 W for gentle defrosting, eg. cream gateaux or pastry.

4. Press the +30 button.

NOTE: If the power level is not selected, 900 W is automatically set.

WHAT ARE MICROWAVES?

Like radio and television waves, microwaves are electromagnetic waves.

Microwaves are produced by a magnetron inside the microwave oven, and these vibrate the molecules of water present in the food. The friction this causes produces heat, which ensures that the food is defrosted, heated or cooked through.

The secret of the reduced cooking times is the fact that the microwaves penetrate the food from every direction. Energy is used to the full. In comparison, the energy from a conventional hob passes from the burner through the pan and so to the food.

This method wastes a great deal of energy.

THE CHARACTERISTICS OF MICROWAVES

Microwaves penetrate all non-metal objects made of glass, china, earthenware, plastic, wood or paper. This is why the microwaves never make these materials hot. Dishes become hot only because the food inside them is hot.

The food absorbs the microwaves and is heated. Microwaves cannot pass through objects made of metal and so they are deflected. For this reason metal objects are not normally suitable for microwave cookery.

There are exceptions where you can actually make use of the fact that the microwaves cannot pass through metal. If you cover food with aluminium foil at specific points while it is defrosting or cooking, you can prevent those parts from getting too warm, too hot, or overcooked. Please check out the advice given in the guide.

By using the microwave facility in your new combination microwave oven you can, for example, quickly heat up ready-prepared meals or drinks, or melt butter or chocolate in no time at all. The microwave oven is equally good at defrosting food. Sometimes, however, it is better to combine the microwave with convection heating or grilling (combined operation). You can then cook the food rapidly and brown it at the same time. Cooking times are generally much shorter than in conventional food preparation.

COMBINED OPERATION

(MICROWAVE OPERATION WITH CONVECTION OR GRILL)

By combining two modes of operation the benefits of your oven are cleverly linked together.

You are able to choose between

- microwave + convection (ideal for joints of meat, poultry, puddings, bread and cakes) and

- microwave + grill (ideal for pizzas, snacks, quick fry-ups, joints, poultry, chicken legs, kebabs, Welsh rarebit and cooking au gratin).

Using the combination facility you can cook and brown food at the same time.

The advantage is that the convected heat or the heat from the grill quickly seals the pores in the outer layers of the food. The microwaves ensure a short and gentle cooking period. The juices are preserved inside the food and the outside is crisp.

You can also use convection without microwave. The result is like using a conventional oven. The circulating air quickly heats up the external parts of the food without drying up the meat juices and the foods.

This sealing process means that the meals remain tasty and cook in a shorter time than with conventional ovens with upper and lower heaters.

GRILL OPERATION

This appliance comes with a quartz grill above the cooking area. It can be used as a conventional grill without microwave. You can quickly bake or grill dishes. It's also suitable for steaks, chops and cakes.

MICROWAVE COOKING

Your oven can be programmed for up to 90 minutes. (90.00). The input unit of cooking (defrosting) time varies from 10 seconds to five minutes. It depends on the total length of the cooking (defrosting) time as shown on the table opposite:

Cooking Time: Increasing unit:

0-5 minutes 10 seconds
5-10 seconds 30 seconds
10-30 minutes 1 minute
30-90 minutes 5 minutes

Example:

To heat soup for 2 minutes and 30 seconds on 630 W microwave power.

1. Rotate the COOKING MODE dial to the ☐ microwave setting.

2. Enter desired cooking time by rotating the TIMER/WEIGHT knob clockwise.

3. Press the MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL button twice for 630 W microwave power.

4. Press the 430 button once to start cooking.

WARNING!

After GRILL, DUAL, CONVECTION, AUTO COOK, AUTO COOK FROM FROZEN

modes, the oven cavity, door, oven cabinet and accessories will become very hot. Before cleaning, make sure they are completely cool.

CLEAN THE OVEN AT REGULAR INTERVALS AND REMOVE ANY FOOD DEPOSITS. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to a deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

Oven exterior

The outside of your oven can be cleaned easily with mild soap and water. Make sure the soap is wiped off with a moist cloth, and dry the exterior with a soft towel.

Oven controls

Open the door before cleaning to de-activate the oven controls. Care should be taken when cleaning the oven control. Using a cloth dampened with water only, gently wipe the panel until it becomes clean. Avoid using excessive amounts of water. Do not use any sort of chemical or abrasive cleaner.

Oven Interior

1. For cleaning, wipe any splatters or spills with a soft damp cloth or sponge after each use while the oven is still warm. For heavier spills, use a mild soap and wipe several times with a damp cloth until all residues are removed.

Built-up splashes may overheat and begin to smoke or catch fire, and cause arcing.

Do not remove the waveguide cover.

1. Make sure that mild soap or water does not penetrate the small vents in the walls which may cause damage to the oven.
2. Do not use spray type cleaners on the oven interior.
3. Heat up your oven regularly by using the convection and grill, refer to "Heating without food" on page 12. Remaining food or fat splashed can cause smoke or bad smell.

Accessories

The accessories should be washed in a mild washing up liquid solution and dried. They are dishwasher safe.

Door

To remove all trace of dirt, regularly clean both sides of the door, the door seals and adjacent parts with a soft, damp cloth.

NOTE: Keep the waveguide cover and accessories clean at all times. If you leave grease or fat in the cavity or accessories, it may overheat, cause arcing, smoke or even catch fire when next using the oven.

NOTE: A steam cleaner should not be used.
