Warnings
THESE WARNINGS ARE PROVIDED IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY. YOU MUST
READ THEM CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING THE APPLIANCE
• Do not use this appliance for any other purpose than the
preparation of normal domestic food. Take care to read the
instructions regarding loads and timings. Also the
recommendations/advice on suitable containers and
utensils (see cookery book).
• The oven must not be operated when empty as this could
damage the oven.
Do not operate the oven if it is damaged until it has been
repaired by a service technician trained by the
manufacturer. It is particularly important that the oven
door closes properly and that there is no damage to:
(1) Door (warped), (2) Hinges and Latches (broken or
loosened), (3) Door Seals and Sealing Surfaces (broken or
cracked).
• Always keep the door seal and door surfaces clean by
wiping regularly with a damp cloth, so that any grease, soil
or spatters are not allowed to build up. Such build up could
result in leakage of microwave energy from the oven.
• This appliance is designed to be operated by adults.
Children should not be allowed to tamper with the controls
or play with the product.
• Any electrical work required to install this appliance
should be carried out by a qualified person.
• This product should be serviced by an authorised
Zanussi Network Service Centre, and only genuine Zanussi
spare parts should be used.
• It is dangerous to alter the specifications or modify the
product in any way.
• DO NOT overcook foods. Overcooking certain foods can
result in dehydration and subsequently fire. Jacket
potatoes and foods with a high sugar content - such as
those containing dried fruits - are particularly vulnerable.
In case of fire unplug the oven and do not open the door.
• Care and cleaning of the appliance are important. Food
deposits should not be left on the interior cabinet. Do not
place any object between the oven front face and the door,
or allow the door seals to accumulate dirt.
• Always be careful when removing protective film from
food after cooking as the steam when released can cause
burns.
• Any foodstuffs with a 'skin', e.g. potatoes, sausages etc,
must be pierced in order to allow for the release of steam.
• Under no circumstances should live animals be placed in
a microwave.
• Unplug the appliance if it is to be left for a period of time,
e.g. during holidays or long weekends.
• Bases of cooking vessels get very hot. Care should be
taken that the dish does not come into contact with any
plastic surface. Wear protective gloves.
• Care should be taken when using microwave browning
dishes on the glass tray as the bases become exceedingly
hot and may cause the tray to shatter (See browning dish
manufacturers' instructions on timings and use).
• Be cautious when eating food direct from the microwave
as items with a high sugar or fat content can be very hot
inside.
• Airflow above, below and at the sides of a microwave
should not be restricted. See installation instructions.
• Only use cooking containers recommended for use in a
microwave.
• Do not use metal containers, metal glazed china,
melamine or cut glass as cooking containers, or bags with
metal ties.
• Do not use more than the recommended quantities of
aluminium foil in the oven.
• Do not use capped bottles, jars or tins.
• Do not use the oven for drying any items.
• Leave the oven empty at all times when not in use and do
not operate the oven when empty.
• Do not let the timer continue to operate after removing
the food.
• Do not attempt to cook or reheat eggs in their shells,
they may explode. Pierce the yolks of eggs.
• Do not attempt to deep fat fry in a microwave.
• Do not use this appliance if it is in contact with water.
• Do not reheat drinks in plastic cups, they could melt.
• Do not use a conventional meat thermometer. They may
be used outside the cooker to check temperatures but not
during cooking.
• Always remove the metal shelf when it is not in use.
• The stirrer glass shield must be in position at all times.
• Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair
the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons may cause serious injury. Consult
your local Zanussi Network Service Centre. Always insist
on genuine Zanussi spare parts.
WARNING: it is dangerous for any person other
than a service technician trained by the
