Before using your microwave oven
Read through the instruction manual carefully. The following instructions have been prepared so that you get the best from your new Zanussi microwave oven. It is important that this instruction book is retained with the appliance for future reference. Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or if you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is supplied with the ap-pliance so that the new owner can become acquainted with the functioning of the appliance and the relevant warnings. Please ensure you have read the whole instruction book before using the appliance and that you follow the recommendations given.

Unpacking

N.B. When you unpack the oven, check that the product is free from damage. Damage or any missing parts must be reported immediately to the retailer. The oven, parts of the oven or the accessories may be wrapped by a protection foil. If present, you must remove this foil before using the oven. Do not leave packing material where small children can play with it. This can be hazardous.

Safety Instructions

The built-in safety interlock switches prevent the microwave oven from operating when the door is open. Do not tamper with them, nor attempt to operate the oven with the door open, as open door operation can result in exposure to microwave energy. Do not allow food spills or cleaner residue to accu-mulate on door sealing surfaces. See the Cleaning and Care section for cleaning instructions. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) door (warped), (2) hinges and latches (broken or insecure), (3) door seals and sealing surface. Do not operate the oven empty. If food or water is not present to absorb the microwave energy, the magnetron tube can be damaged. Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water. Do not attempt to dry clothing or newspapers in the microwave oven. These items can ignite. In order to evacuate moisture, your appliance is fitted with a delayed ventilation function. Depending on the applied cooking mode (solo / grill / combination), the oven ventilation will continue to operate after the cooking end. It switches off automatically after 3 minutes. Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.
If the door, hinges/latches or door seals are damaged, the appliance must not be operated until it has been repaired by an authorized service engineer.

Testing suitability of cookware
Place the cookware in the microwave along with a glass half full of water. Heat on 900W (100%) for one minute. If the cookware feels hot, you should not use it. If it is just slightly warm, you can use it for reheating but not for cooking. If the dish is at room temperature, it is suitable for microwave cooking. Paper napkins, wax paper, paper towels, plates, cups, cartons, freezer wrap and cardboard are great convenience utensils. Always be sure containers are filled with food to absorb energy and thus avoid the possibility of overheating. Many plastic dishes, cups, freezer containers and plastic wraps may be used in the microwave oven. Follow manufacturers instructions when using plastics in the oven. Avoid using plastic utensils with foods that have high fat or sugar content since these foods reach high temperatures and could melt some plastics. Do not leave the oven unattended when heating or cooking food in plastic, paper or other combustible containers. Metal containers and containers with metallic trim should not be used in the microwave oven, unless specifically

Food safety

Do not heat food in a can in the microwave oven. Always remove the food to a suitable container. Do not use the appliance for deep fat frying, because the fat temperature cannot be controlled, and hazardous situations can result. Popcorn may be prepared in the microwave oven, but only in special packages or utensils designed specifically for this purpose. This cooking operation should never be left un attended. Pierce foods with non-porous skins or membranes to prevent steam build-up and bursting. Apples, potatoes, chicken livers, and egg yolks are examples of items that should be pierced. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.
Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers for example, closed glass jars may explode and should not be heated in this oven. Occasionally, poached eggs may explode during cooking. Always pierce the yolk, then cover and allow the standing time of one minute before removing cover.

Keep these instructions!

MAFF Rating
Explanation of the heating category label for micro-wave ovens and small packs of food (up to 500g/1lb, typical of ready meals for 1 or 2 people) as agreed by MAFF (the Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Food) in conjunction with food and Microwave Oven manufacturers.

1. 2. 3.

When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces and beverages in your microwave oven, overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid. To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken: Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks. Do not overheat. Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the heating time. After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the container.

Power Rating in Watts Heating Category

Auto Defrost

Progr. Food categories Poultry Meat Fish Delicate cakes and pastries

Examples

Weight from up to g g g g

J 1 J 2 J 3 J 4

Poultry (whole or portions) Pork roast, Goulash Fish (whole or fillets) Cream pie
Cover legs and wings with aluminium foil before defrosting.
Unpack the frozen dish, place on top of a small overturned dish set inside a larger one to catch the liquid from defrosting. Follow our recommended standing time (general rule: standing time = defrosting time). A triple beep will sound halfway through defrost time. Turn or mix dish and, if possible, break up into pieces.

Quick Start

How to set The Quick Start function provides full microwave power from 30 seconds up to 2 minutes and 30 seconds, in 30 second intervals.
Example: Heating a cup of water (1 min. 30 s) :
1. Press the Start/Quick button three times. The time appears in the display and the appliance starts to operate. 2. You may increase the time by 30 second intervals while the programme is running up to a limit of 2 minutes and 30 seconds by pressing the Start/Quick button.

successively.

Midway through the programme, three short beeps will be heard. Stir or turn the food item at this time. The programme is not interrupted.
Defrosting Tips 1. It is better to underestimate defrosting time if you are unsure. Food will continue to defrost during the standing time. 2. Separate food into smaller pieces as soon as possible. 3. Turn large items, e.g. joints, halfway through the defrosting time. 4. Remove any thawed food as soon as possible. 5. Remove or open any packaging before defrosting.
6. Place food in a larger container than that which it was frozen in to allow for easy stirring. 7. Begin thawing poultry breast side down and turn over halfway through defrosting time. Delicate areas such as wing tips can be shielded with small pieces of smooth foil. 8. Standing time is very important, particularly for large, dense foods which cannot be stirred in order to ensure that the centre is completely defrosted before cooking.

Manual defrosting

For manual defrosting (without using Auto Defrost features) use 150W. To speed up the defrosting of dense foods over 450g (1lb), the oven may be started on full power for 13 minutes, then be reduced to 150W until defrosting is complete.

Microwave Hints

Always keep the oven clean avoid spillovers and do not forget to clean under the turntable and the inside of the door. It is preferable to use round or oval casseroles with a lid when cooking in your microwave oven. Do not use metal or metal decorated casserole dishes. Certain plastic materials can melt and be warped by hot food. Cover the food when cooking. Use a glass lid, a plate or grease proof paper. Pastry, bread and the like can be defrosted directly in a bread basket or on a paper towel. If frozen food is heated in its packaging, the pack-aging should be opened. Packaging containing metal or metal decoration must not be used unless specifically recommended for use in the microwave. Remove metal clips and wire ties. Smaller pieces of aluminium foil can be used to cover parts that easily overcook such as chicken legs. Food with peel or skin should be pierced with a fork e.g. potatoes and sausages. Do not boil eggs in the microwave oven as they can explode. Put large, thick pieces close to the edge of the casserole and try to cut the food into even-sized pieces. Always place the food in the centre of the oven. The food will be more evenly cooked if you stir or turn it regularly. Always set a shorter cooking time than indicated in your recipe to avoid overcooking. The larger the amount of food the longer it takes. Use little or no water for vegetables. Use less salt and spices than for conventional cooking. Season afterwards. Allow a few minutes standing time' after the oven has switched off to ensure complete and even cooking results. Always ensure food is piping hot throughout before serving. Use gloves when taking dishes and food from the oven.

Care and cleaning

The oven must always be clean. Residue of food from spill-overs or spatters will absorb microwave energy causing it to burn on. This could reduce the efficiency of the oven and may cause unpleasant odours. Do not attempt to tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to any part of the oven. Repairs should only be made by an authorised service engineer. Always ensure that the oven is disconnected from the electricity supply before cleaning.

Cleaning the interior

Soilage that is allowed to remain on the oven walls, door seal and door surface will absorb microwave energy, reduce the efficiency of the oven, and possibly damage the oven interior. Use mild, liquid detergent, warm water and a soft, clean cloth to remove soilage. NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS, COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS OR STEEL WOOL PADS ON ANY PART OF THE MICROWAVE OVEN. To loosen difficult soilage, boil a cup of water in the microwave oven for 2 to 3 minutes. NEVER USE A KNIFE OR ANY UTENSIL TO REMOVE SOILAGE FROM OVEN SURFACES. To remove odours from the oven interior, boil a cup of water containing 2 tablespoons of lemon juice for 5 minutes.

Cleaning the accessories

Clean them with mild detergent after removing them from the cavity. The turntable support should be carefully handled. The inside of the oven and turntable get very hot, so do not touch them immediately after use.

Cleaning the exterior

Open the oven door when cleaning the control panel. This will prevent the oven from being turned on accidentally. You should clean outside surfaces of the oven with mild liquid detergent and water, followed by a wiping with clear water to remove any excess detergent. Dry with a soft cloth. Spray-on window cleaners or all purpose spray-on kitchen cleaners can also be used. Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads or harsh chemicals on outside surfaces of your oven. To prevent damage to the working parts, do not allow water to seep into the ventilation openings.

Something Not working

If the appliance does not function correctly, please carry out the following checks before contacting your local Service Force Centre. If the oven does not come on: Check the appliance is connected correctly. Check that the oven is plugged in properly.

1. Remove any promotion label from the door. 2. This oven can be used as a free standing oven or built-in, into a kitchen cabinet using kit number BF246, which is ordered separately. To install the oven in a kitchen cabinet follow the instructions supplied with the building-in kit. The oven should be installed on a flat, level surface. The surface must be strong enough to safely bear the weight (18 kg) of the oven, and the contents. To avoid the possibility of causing vibration or noise the oven must be in a stable position. 3. Keep the oven away from heat and water. Exposure to heat and water can lower oven efficiency and lead to malfunctioning, so be sure to install the oven away from heat and water sources. 4. If using the appliance as a free-standing appliance do not block air vents on the top and the sides of the cabinet and also do not place any articles on the top of the oven. A gap all around the oven is neces sary : 140 mm above the oven and any objects, 50 mm on the sides and 100 mm behind the oven. If air vents are blocked during operation the oven may overheat, and this may lead to malfunctioning. Hot air escapes from the vents, so be sure not to obstruct them or let curtains come between the oven and the rear wall. 5. Place the oven as far away from radios and TVs as possible. This oven does conform to EEC requirements of radio interference suppression, but some interference may occur if it is placed too close to a radio or TV, so keep them as far apart as possible.

Connecting to the mains

The oven is delivered with the power cord and a plug for 240 V, 50Hz, earthed socket outlet. Earth protection minimizes the risks should a shortcircuit occur. Check to ensure the voltage of the oven matches the supply. N.B. If the oven is connected to the socket via an extension cord, make sure the cord is earthed.
This appliance must not be used on a non-earth protected power supply. Contact an electrician if you are uncertain regarding electricial connection of the oven or provision of earth protection of the supply. This appliance must be earthed. If this appliance is fitted with a non-rewirable plug for which your socket is unsuitable, the plug should be cut off and the appropriate plug fitted. If it is necessary to change the fuse in a nonrewirable plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained.

Electrical connections

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. The manufacturer declines any liability should this safety measure not be observed.

Build-in model

To install the appliance in a kitchen cabinet, use the appropriate mounting frame. Note the relevant instructions for installation and connection. When building in to a high cabinet, you may use the lift door. Note the relevant information for installation and connection given in the operating instructions of the lift door. Warning ! Never operate the microwave oven with the lift door closed. Such operation would damage your appliance and invalidate the guarantee. Connect to a plug socket with protective earth contact and fused with a 13 A-L automatic device or 13 A slow-blowing fuse. When the oven is installed, there must be a possibility of disconnecting it from mains with a contact break of at least 3 mm on all poles.
