When cleaning the door seals, recesses and adjacent parts, it is forbidden to use any substances that can damage the sealing and cause microwave leakage.

⑤ For cleaning the oven housing, do not use abrasive cleaners such as emulsions, cream cleaners, polishes, etc. They may remove the graphic information symbols such as scales, marks, warning signs, etc.

Zelmer ZMW1000W - Cleaning, maintenance and operation - 3

To clean the glass surface of the door do not use cleaners that contain abrasives, as they can scratch the surface and, consequently, lead to the formation of cracks.

⑥ Do not allow the control panel to moisten. To clean it use a soft, damp cloth. In order to avoid accidental starting of the oven clean the control panel with the door open.
⑦ When condensed water vapour begins to appear on the inside or outside of the door, wipe it with a soft cloth.
Condensation may occur when the microwave oven is operating under high humidity conditions. In such a case it is a normal situation.
⑧ From time to time, take out and clean the glass tray. Wash it in warm water with an addition of washing-up liquid or in a dishwasher.
⑨ Regularly clean the turntable ring and the bottom of the microwave oven to prevent noise. Clean the bottom surface with a mild detergent. Wash the turntable ring in water with an addition of washing-up liquid or in the dishwasher. When replacing the turntable ring make sure to position it properly.

Microwave cooking – tips

① Carefully arrange the food. Place the thickest pieces next to the edges of the dish.
② Check the cooking time. Cook for the shortest time indicated and if necessary extend the cooking time. Heavily burned products may generate smoke or catch fire.
③ Cover the food while cooking. The cover shall prevent the food from "splashing out" and ensure even cooking.
④ During cooking turn products over in order to speed up the cooking process of such foods as chicken or hamburgers. Turn over large products such as roast meat at least once.
⑤ Halfway through the cooking time change the arrangement of food products such as meatballs. The products placed on the top should be moved to the bottom and those in the middle should be moved towards the edges of the dish.

Kitchen utensils – tips

Use utensils suitable for use in microwave ovens. A container made of transparent material is ideal for use in microwave ovens as the microwaves can easily penetrate through it in order to heat the food.

① Do not use metal utensils or dishes with metal trims – microwaves do not penetrate through metal.
② Before cooking in the microwave oven remove wrappings made of recycled paper, as they may contain metal particles which may cause sparking and/or fire.
③ We recommend using oval/ round dishes rather than square/ rectangular ones, as food in the corners of the dish gets burned more often.
④ When grilling, protect the exposed areas from getting burned by covering them with narrow strips of aluminium foil. Remember to avoid the excess of foil and maintain the distance of minimum 3 cm between the foil and the oven internal walls.

The list below will facilitate the choice of the right dishes and utensils.

Non-heat-resistant glassNo

Utensil test:

① Fill a dish/ container with 1 cup of cold water (250 ml) and place it in the microwave oven.
② Cook at the maximum power for 1 minute.
③ When the set time is over, carefully feel the dish/ container. If it is warm, do not use it for microwave cooking.

Zelmer ZMW1000W - Utensil test: - 1

Do not exceed 1-minute cooking time.

Glass tray installation

① Never place the glass tray upside down. The glass tray movement should not be restricted.
② During cooking, both the glass tray and turntable ring assembly must always be present in the microwave oven.
③ During cooking, all food and food containers should always be placed on the glass tray.
④ In case the glass tray is broken or damaged contact your nearest service centre.

Glass tray Hub (underside) Turntable ring assembly Turntable shaft

Before calling the service centre

Normal situation:

①The operation of the microwave oven may cause interference with radio and TV reception. This interference is similar to interference caused by small electrical appliances such as a food processor, fan, vacuum cleaner, etc.
② When cooking at low microwave power the inside light of the microwave oven may become dull.
③ During cooking, water vapour gets out of the food. Most of the water vapour escapes through the ventilation openings. However, condensed water vapour may also appear on the cool parts of the oven (e.g. on the door).
④ If the glass tray makes noise during operation, check to make sure that the oven bottom and turntable ring assembly are both clean. Clean following the instructions given in the "CLEANING, MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION" section.

If the microwave oven does not work:

① Check to make sure that the oven is properly plugged in. If not, unplug the appliance, wait 10 seconds and plug it in again.
② Check to make sure that the fuse is not blown or the circuit breaker tripped. If the above protective devices function properly check the mains socket by plugging in another electrical appliance.
③ Check to make sure that the control panel is properly programmed and the timer set.
④ Check to make sure that the door is properly locked. If not, the microwave energy will not be supplied to the oven.
