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.

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.

It is hazardous for anyone except factory

!trained service personnel to service or make adjustments to this oven. Contact your local Zanussi Service Force Centre if service should be required.

Do not remove the outer case, door or control panel at any time. Doing so may cause exposure to extremely high voltage.

Install or locate this oven only in accordance with ‘installation instructions’ found in this manual.

Use the appliance for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or defrost food. It is not designed for industrial, laboratory, nor commer- cial use, as this will invalidate the guarantee.

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 fit- ted with a delayed ventilation function. Depending on the applied cooking mode (solo / grill / combi- nation), 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 smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the

!appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames. Never use water.

Do not allow children to use the microwave

!without supervision until adequate instructions have been given so that the child is able to safely operate the microwave and understands the hazards of improper use.

Utensil safety

Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-resistant glassware utensils are excellent for use in the micro- wave oven. Although microwave energy will not heat most glass and ceramic items, these utensils can become hot as heat transfers from the food to the container. Use oven gloves to remove dishes.

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 manufacturer’s 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.
