Safety instructions
General
• Install or locate this oven only in accordance with the
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
and defrost food. It is for domestic use only; it is not
designed for industrial, laboratory, or commercial use as
this will invalidate the guarantee.
• To avoid damaging your microwave oven, never
operate it empty or without the turntable. If food or
water is not present to absorb the microwave energy, the
magnetron tube can be damaged.
• The built-in safety interlock switches prevent the combi¬
nation oven from operating when the door is open. Do
not tamper with the safety interlock switches or attempt
to operate the oven with the door open as this can result
in exposure to microwave energy.
• Do not force the turntable to rotate by hand. This may
cause malfunctioning.
• It is dangerous for anyone except qualified service engi¬
neers to service or make adjustments to this oven.
Contact your nearest authorised Zanussi Service Force
centre should service be required.
• It is particularly important that the oven door closes pro¬
perly and that there is no damage to the : door (warped),
hinges and latches (broken or insecure), door seals and
sealing surface. Do not operate the oven if damaged
until it has been repaired by qualified service personnel.
• Do not allow food spills or cleaner residue to accumulate
on door sealing surfaces. See the Care and Cleaning sec¬
tion for cleaning instructions.
• Do not remove the outer case, door or control panel at
any time. Doing so may cause exposure to extremely
high voltage. Only trained personnel can carry out any
repair which involves removal of these parts.
• Do not store this appliance outdoors.
• Do not use this product near water.
• Do not attempt to dry clothing or newspapers in the com¬
bination oven. These items can ignite.
• Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave
paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity
when not in use.
. WARNING :
Do not allow children to use the microwave oven without
supervision.
• Arcing in the oven during microwave operation usually
occurs from use of metallic utensils. Continuous arcing,
however, can damage the unit. Stop the programme and
check the utensil. Ensure that any aluminium foil used is
suitable for microwave cooking.
• Care should be taken not to obstruct any air vents located
on the top, rear, side and bottom of the oven.
Suitable ovenware
• Before use, make sure that the containers are appro¬
priate for microwave usage. Most glass, glass ceramic
and heat-resistant glassware utensils are excellent for use
in the combination 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.
• Place the cookware in the microwave along with a glass
half full of water. Heat on high 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 conve¬
nience utensils. Use only food wraps recommended for
microwave use. Always be sure containers are filled
with food to absorb energy and thus avoid the possibility
of overheating. Do not use such containers made from
recycled material.
• Many plastic dishes, cups, freezer containers and plastic
wraps, providing they are not made from recycled mate¬
rials, 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. Use only
food plastic wraps recommended for microwave use.
• Do not leave the oven unattended, and check from time
to time when heating or cooking food in plastic, paper or
other combustible containers. If smoke is observed, keep
door closed, and switch the oven off until smoke stops.
• Metal utensils and utensils with metallic trim should not
be used in the microwave oven, unless specifically
recommended for microwave use.
• Containers with restricted openings, such as bottles,
should not be used for microwave cooking.
• Take care when removing a lid or cover from a dish to
avoid steam bums.
