5. Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that the microwave oven and the receiver are on different branch circuits.

CLEANING AND MAINTAINENECE

1. Switch off and unplug the oven before cleaning.
2. Keep the inside of the oven clean. If necessary remove the food deposits or spilled liquid from the oven walls with a damp cloth. Use a mild detergent to remove heavier soil. Do not use spray cleaners and other strong cleaning agents as they may stain, tarnish or leave streaks on the surface of the oven and door.
3. Clean the outside surface with a damp cloth. To avoid damaging the subassemblies inside the oven make sure that water does not leak to the inside of the oven ventilation openings.
4. Regularly wipe both sides of the door and window, the door seals and neighboring parts with a damp cloth to remove food deposits or spilled liquid.

Do not use abrasive cleaners.

1. Do not use abrasive detergents such as emulsions, cream cleaners, polishes, etc. to clean the housing. They may remove the graphic information symbols such as scales, marks, warning signs etc.

2. Do not allow the control panel to moisten. To clean use only a soft, damp cloth. In order to avoid accidental starting of the oven open the door before cleaning the control panel.

3. If condensed water vapor 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.

4. Take out and clean the glass tray every once in a while. Wash it in warm water with dishwashing liquid or in the dishwasher.

5. Regularly clean the turntable ring and the bottom of the oven to avoid noise. Clean the bottom surface with a mild detergent. Wash the turntable ring in water with dishwashing liquid or in the dishwasher. While installing the turntable ring make sure to place it properly.

6. To get rid of odors inside the oven boil about 200 ml of water with lemon juice and lemon peel in a microwave safe bowl for 5 minutes. Thoroughly dry the inside of the oven with a dry, soft cloth.

7. If it is necessary to replace the inside light bulb, turn to a service center.

NORM REQUIREMENTS

ZELMER microwave oven fulfills the requirements of the existing norms.

The appliance is in conformity with the requirements of the directives:

- Low voltage appliance (LVD) - 2006/95/EC

- Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - 2004/108/EC

The appliance was marked by the CE sign on the rating label.

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 indicated time and if necessary prolong cooking. Heavily burned products may generate smoke or ignite.
3. Cover food while cooking. The cover shall prevent the food from "splashing out" and ensure even cooking.
4. During cooking turn products in order to speed up the cooking process of food such as chicken or hamburgers. Turn large products such as roast meat at least once.
5. Change the arrangement of food products such as meatballs in the middle of the cooking period. 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 only microwave safe dishes and kitchen utensils. The ideal material to use in the microwave oven is a transparent one, as it allows energy to infiltrate through the container and heat the food.

1. Do not use metal utensils or dishes with metal trims – microwaves do not infiltrate through metal.
2. Before cooking remove wrappings made of recycled paper, as it may contain metal particles which may cause arcing and/or fire.
3. We advise you to use oval/round dishes instead of square/rectangular ones as food in the corners of the dish burns more often.
4. Protect exposed areas by covering them with narrow stripes of aluminum foil. Remember, however, not to use too much foil and to keep the foil at least 3 cm away from the oven walls.

The list below shall make the choice of the right dishes and kitchen utensils easier:
