• 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.
