IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

To avoid the danger of fire

To avoid the possibility of injury

The microwave oven should not be left

unattended during operation. Power

levels that are too high or cooking times

that are too long may overheat foods

resulting in a fire.

WARNING:

Do not operate the oven if it is damaged or

malfunctioning. Check the following before use:

a)The door; make sure the door closes properly

and ensure it is not misaligned or warped.

b)The hinges and safety door latches; check to

make sure they are not broken or loose.

c)The door seals and sealing surfaces; ensure

that they have not been damaged.

d)Inside the oven cavity or on the door; make

sure there are no dents.

e)The power supply cord and plug; ensure that

they are not damaged.

Never adjust , repair or modify the oven

yourself. It is hazardous for anyone

other than a competent person to carry

out any service or repair operation

which involves the removal of a cover

which gives protection against exposure

to microwave energy.

The electrical outlet must be readily accessible so

that the unit can be unplugged easily in an

emergency.

Do not store or use the oven outdoors.

If food being heated begins to smoke,

DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR. Turn off and

unplug the oven and wait until the food

has stopped smoking. Opening the door

while food is smoking may cause a fire.

Only use microwave-safe containers and

utensils. See Page 8 - 9.

Do not leave the oven unattended when

using disposable plastic, paper or other

combustible food containers.

Clean the waveguide cover, the oven

cavity, the turntable and turntable

support after use. These must be dry and

free from grease. Built-up grease may

overheat and begin to smoke or catch

fire.

Do not operate the oven with the door open or

alter the door safety latches in any way.

Do not operate the oven if there is an object

between the door seals and sealing surfaces.

Do not allow grease or dirt to build up

on the door seals and adjacent parts.

Follow instructions for “Care and

Cleaning”, Page 45. Failure to maintain

the oven in a clean condition could lead

to a deterioration of the surface that

could adversely affect the life of the

appliance and possibly result in a

hazardous situation.

Do not place flammable materials near the oven or

ventilation openings. Do not block the ventilation

openings.

Remove all metallic seals, wire twists, etc., from

food and food packages. Arcing on metallic

surfaces may cause a fire.

Do not use the microwave oven to heat oil for deep

frying. The temperature cannot be controlled and

the oil may catch fire.

To make popcorn, only use special microwave

popcorn makers.

Do not store food or any other items inside the

oven.

Check the settings after you start the oven to ensure

the oven is operating as desired.

See the corresponding hints in this operation

manual.

Individuals with PACEMAKERS should check with

their doctor or the manufacturer of the pacemaker

for precautions regarding microwave ovens.

To avoid the possibility of electric shock

Under no circumstances should you remove the

outer cabinet.

Never spill or insert any objects into the door lock

openings or ventilation openings. In the event of a

spill, turn off and unplug the oven immediately and

call your local Service Force Centre.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not immerse the power supply cord or plug in

water or any other liquid.

Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes, sausages

and fruit before cooking, or they may explode.

Do not allow the power supply cord to run over

any hot or sharp surfaces, such as the hot air vent

area at the top rear of the oven.

Do not attempt to replace the oven lamp yourself or

allow anyone who is not authorised by Service

Force to do so. If the oven lamp fails, please

consult your dealer or contact your local Service

Force Centre.

If the power supply cord of this appliance is

damaged, it must be replaced with a special cord.

The exchange must be made by an authorised

Service Force technician.

To avoid the possibility of explosion and

sudden boiling:

To avoid the possibility of burns

Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing

food from the oven to prevent burns.

Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven

cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands

to avoid steam burns.

To avoid burns, always test food

temperature and stir before serving and

pay special attention to the temperature

of food and drink given to babies,

children or the elderly.

Temperature of the container is not a true indication

of the temperature of the food or drink; always

check the food temperature.

Always stand back from the oven door when

opening to avoid burns from escaping steam and

heat.

WARNING: Liquids and other foods must

not be heated in sealed containers since

they are liable to explode.

Never use sealed containers. Remove seals and

lids before use. Sealed containers can explode due

to a build up of pressure even after the oven has

been turned off.

Take care when microwaving liquids. Use a wide-

mouthed container to allow bubbles to escape.

Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release

steam and avoid burns.

Keep children away from the door and accessible

parts that may become hot when the grill is in use.

Children should be kept away to prevent them

burning themselves.

Do not touch the oven door, outer cabinet, rear

cabinet, oven cavity, ventilation openings,

accessories and dishes during GRILL mode, DUAL

GRILL mode and AUTO COOK operation as they

will become hot. Before cleaning make sure they

are not hot.

Microwave heating of beverages can

result in delayed eruptive boiling,

therefore care has to be taken when

handling the container.

To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and

possible scalding:

1. Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.

2. It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar

utensil into the liquid whilst reheating.

3. Let liquid stand in the oven at the end of cooking

time to prevent delayed eruptive boiling.

To avoid misuse by children

WARNING: Only allow children to use

the oven without supervision when

adequate instructions have been given

so that the child is able to use the oven

in a safe way and understands the

hazards of improper use.

Do not cook eggs in their shells, and

whole hard boiled eggs should not be

heated in microwave ovens since they

may explode even after microwave

cooking has ended. To cook or reheat

eggs which have not been scrambled or

mixed, pierce the yolks and the whites,

or the eggs may explode. Shell and slice

hard boiled eggs before reheating them

in the microwave oven.

Do not lean or swing on the oven door. Do not

play with the oven or use it as a toy.

Children should be taught all important safety

instructions: use of pot holders, careful removal of

food coverings; paying special attention to

packaging (e.g. self-heating materials) designed to

make food crisp, as they may be extra hot.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Other warnings

Never modify the oven in any way.

This oven is for home food preparation only and

may only be used for cooking food. It is not

suitable for commercial or laboratory use.

To prevent the turntable from breaking:

(a)Before cleaning the turntable with water, leave

the turntable to cool.

(b)Do not put hot foods or hot utensils on a cold

turntable.

To promote trouble-free use of your oven

and avoid damage.

Do not place anything on the outer cabinet during

operation.

Never operate the oven when it is empty except

where recommended in the operation manual, see

page 17 note 2. Doing so may damage the oven.

When using a browning dish or self-heating

material, always place a heat-resistant insulator

such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent

damage to the turntable and turntable support due

to heat stress. The preheating time specified in the

dish’s instructions must not be exceeded.

Do not use plastic containers for microwaving if the

oven is still hot from using the GRILL mode, DUAL

GRILL mode and AUTO COOK operation

because they may melt. Plastic containers must not

be used during above modes unless the container

manufacturer says they are suitable.

NOTE:

If you are unsure how to connect your oven, please

consult an authorised, qualified electrician.

Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can accept

any liability for damage to the oven or personal

injury resulting from failure to observe the correct

electrical connection procedure.

Do not use metal utensils, which reflect microwaves

and may cause electrical arcing. Do not put cans

in the oven.

Only use the turntable and the turntable support

designed for this oven. Do not operate the oven

without the turntable.

Water vapour or drops may occasionally form on

the oven walls or around the door seals and

WHAT ARE MICROWAVES?

THE CHARACTERISTICS OF MICROWAVES

Like radio and television waves, microwaves are

electromagnetic waves.

Microwaves penetrate all non-metal objects made of

glass, china, earthenware, plastic, wood or paper.

This is why the microwaves never make these

materials hot. Dishes become hot only because the

food inside them is hot.

The food absorbs the microwaves and is heated.

Microwaves cannot pass through objects made of

metal and so they are deflected. For this reason

metal objects are not normally suitable for

microwave cookery. There are exceptions where

you can actually make use of the fact that the

microwaves cannot pass through metal. If you cover

food with aluminium foil at specific points while it is

defrosting or cooking, you can prevent those parts

from getting too warm, too hot, or overcooked.

Please check out the advice given in the guide.

Microwaves are produced by a magnetron inside

the microwave oven, and these vibrate the

molecules of water present in the food. The friction

this causes produces heat, which ensures that the

food is defrosted, heated or cooked through.

The secret of the reduced cooking times is the fact

that the microwaves penetrate the food from every

direction. Energy is used to the full. In comparison,

the energy from a conventional hob passes from the

burner through the pan and so to the food.

This method wastes a great deal of energy.

SUITABLE OVENWARE

GLASS AND CERAMIC GLASS

Heat-resistant glass utensils are

very suitable. The cooking

process can be observed from all

sides. They must not, however,

contain any metal (e.g. lead

crystal), nor have a metallic overlay (e.g. gold

edge, cobalt blue finish).

PLASTIC UTENSILS

Heat resistant plastic utensils which

are suitable for use in the

microwave can be used to thaw,

heat and cook food. Follow the

manufacturer's recommendations.

PAPER UTENSILS

Heat resistant paper made for use in a microwave

oven is also suitable. Follow the manufacturer's

recommendations.

CERAMICS

Generally very suitable. Ceramics must be glazed,

since with unglazed ceramics moisture can get into

the ceramic. Moisture causes the material to heat

up and may make it shatter. If you are not certain

whether your utensil is suitable for the microwave,

carry out the utensil suitability test. (See page 9).

KITCHEN PAPER

can be used to absorb any moisture which occurs

in short heating methods, e.g. of

bread or products in bread

crumbs. Insert the paper between

the food and the revolving plate.

The surface of the food will stay

crispy and dry. Covering greasy food with kitchen

paper will catch splashes.

PORCELAIN

Very suitable. Ensure that the porcelain does not have

a gold or silver overlay and that it does not contain

any metal.

SUITABLE OVENWARE

MICROWAVE CLING FILM

METAL

This, or heat-resistant film, is very suitable for

covering or wrapping. Please follow the

manufacturer's recommendations.

Generally speaking, metal

should not be used, since

microwaves do not pass through

metal and therefore cannot reach

the food. There are, however,

exceptions: small strips of aluminium foil may be

used to cover certain parts of the food, so that

these do not thaw too quickly or begin to cook

(e.g. chicken wings). Small metal

ROASTING BAGS

Can be used in a microwave

oven. Metal clips are not suitable

for fastening them since the

roasting bag foil might melt.

Fasten the roasting bag with

string and pierce it several times with a fork. Non

heat-resistant food wraps are not recommended for

use in a microwave oven.

THE RIGHT UTENSILS FOR COMBINED

OPERATION

For combined operation (Microwave + grill) and

grill operation, you can use any heat-resistant

accessories, e. g. porcelain, pottery, glass. It is

possible to use metal accessories only for a simple

grill operation.

skewers

and

aluminium

containers (e.g. of readycooked

meals) can be used. They must,

however, be small in relation to

the food, e.g. aluminium containers must be at

least ^/to / filled with food. It is recommended

that you transfer the food into a dish suitable for

use in the microwave. When using aluminium

containers or other metal utensils there must be a

gap of approx. 2 cms between them and the walls

of the cooking area, otherwise the walls could be

damaged by possible arcing.

BROWNING DISH

A special microwave dish made from ceramic glass

with a metal alloy base, which allows food to be

browned. When using the browning dish a suitable

insulator, e.g. a porcelain plate, must be placed

between the turntable and the browning dish. Be

careful to adhere exactly to the pre-heating time given

in the manufacturer's instructions. Excessive pre-

heating can damage the turntable and the turntable

stand or can trigger the safety-device which will

switch off the oven.

NO UTENSIL SHOULD HAVE A METAL

overlay, or metal parts such as screws, bands or handles..

UTENSIL SUITABILITY TEST

If you are not sure whether your

utensil is suitable for use in your

microwave oven, carry out the

following test: Place the utensil

into the oven. Place a glass

container filled with 150 ml of water on or next to

the utensil. Switch on the oven at 900 W power

for 1 to 2 minutes. If the utensil stays cool or just

warm to the touch, it is suitable. Do not use this

test on a plastic utensil. It could melt.

TIPS & ADVICE

BEFORE YOU START...

COOKING TIMES

To make it as easy as possible to use the

microwave oven we have put together a few hints

and tips for you. Only switch on the oven when the

food is already inside.

All the times given in this book are guidelines,

which can be varied according to the initial

temperature, weight and condition of the food

(water or fat content etc.).

SETTING THE COOKING TIME

SALT, SPICES AND HERBS

Defrosting, re-heating and cooking times are

generally much shorter than in a conventional

oven or hob. So you will need to consult this book

for the recommended cooking times. It is better to

set shorter rather than longer cooking times.

Always test the food after the cooking time has

elapsed. It is better to continue cooking it for a

little longer, than to have overcooked food.

Food cooked in your microwave retains its individual

flavour better than it does when conventional

preparation methods are used. For this reason you

should use salt sparingly and normally add it only after

cooking. Salt absorbs liquid and dries out the outer layer

of food. Herbs and spices can be used as normal.

TYPES OF USE

Microwave: you can defrost frozen foods in a

short time.

STARTING TEMPERATURE

Defrosting, re-heating and cooking times depend

on the temperature of the food when you start. For

example, deep frozen and refridgerated food will

need longer than food that is at room temperature.

Standard storage temperatures of food are assumed

for re-heating and cooking times (refridgerator

temperature of 5° C, Room temperature of

approximately 20° C). For defrosting food a starting

temperature of -18° C is assumed.

Cook popcorn only in special microwave safe

containers. Refer exactly to the manufacturer’s

instructions. Do not use a normal paper or glass

container.

Combined operation: With the combination of

microwave and grill you can cook and roast at the

same time. Therefore, the advantages of these

appliances will combine sensibly and mutually. The

heat of the grill quickly seals the pores of the food

and the microwave functions for a short time. The

food keeps its moisture inside and is crispy on the

outside.

Grill: Your oven is provided with a quartz grill,

which you can also use without microwave

operation like any other conventional grill.

COOKING TEST

The cooking status of meals can be tested as with

conventional preparation:

● Food thermometer: Each food has a certain

interior temperature at the end of the heating

process. With a food thermometer you can

determine whether the food is hot or cooked

enough.

● Fork: You can check fish with a fork. If the fish

meat is no longer clear and comes easily from

the fishbones, it is. If it is over-cooked, it

becomes tough and dry.

● Wooden skewer: Cakes and bread can be

tested by inserting a wooden skewer. If the

skewer remains clean and dry after pulling it

out they are done.

Do not cook eggs in the unbroken shells. Pressure

builds up inside the shell and this

may result in the egg exploding.

Do not heat oil or fat for deep-

frying inside the microwave

oven. It is impossible to control

the temperature of the oil and it

may suddenly splash out of the

pan.

Do not heat sealed containers

such as jars or tins. The pressure

inside the container could cause the container to

explode. (The exception is when you are making

preserves).

TWICE THE AMOUNT = ALMOST TWICE THE TIME

HALF THE AMOUNT = HALF THE TIME

ADDITION OF WATER

Vegetables and other foods with a high water content

can be cooked in their own juice or with the addition

of a little water. This ensures that many vitamins and

minerals are preserved.

DEEP AND SHALLOW CONTAINERS

Both containers have the same capacity, but the

cooking time is longer for the deeper one. You

should therefore choose as flat a container as

possible with a large surface area. Only use deep

containers for dishes where there is a danger of

overcooking, e.g. for noodles, rice, milk etc.

ROUND AND OVAL CONTAINERS

Food cooks more evenly in round or oval

containers than in containers with corners, since

the microwave energy concentrates in the corners

and the food in these areas could become

overcooked.

FOOD IN SKINS OR SHELLS

Foods such as sausages, chickens, chicken legs,

baked potatoes, tomatoes, apples, egg yolks or such

like should be pricked or pierced with a fork or small

wooden skewer. This will enable the steam which

forms to dissipate without splitting the skin or shell.

FATTY FOODS

Fatty meat and layers of fat cook better than lean

portions of meat. Before cooking, cover the fatty

portions with a piece of aluminium foil or place the

food with the fat side down.

the cooking time. Use a lid,

microwave cling film or a cover.

Foods which are to be crispy,

e.g. roasts or chickens, should not be covered. As

a general rule, whatever would be covered in a

conventional oven should also be covered in a

microwave oven. Whatever would be uncovered

in a conventional oven can also be left uncovered

in a microwave oven.

TURNING

Medium-sized items, such as hamburgers and

steaks, should be turned over once during

cooking, in order to shorten the cooking process.

Large items, such as roasts and chickens, must be

turned, since the upper side receives more

microwave energy and could dry out if not turned.

require a certain amount of time to stand, during

which temperature equalisation takes place and

the moisture in the food is evenly distributed.

Stirring the food is necessary,

since the microwaves begin by

heating the outer areas. The

temperature is thereby equalised

and the food heats up evenly.

HEATING

● Ready-prepared meals in aluminium containers

should be removed from the aluminium

container and heated on a plate or in a dish.

● Food should be covered with microwave cling

film, a plate or cover (obtainable from stores),

so that the surface does not dry out. Drinks need

not be covered.

● Remove the lids from firmly closed containers.

● When boiling liquids such as water, coffee, tea

or milk, place a glass stirrer in the container.

● If possible, stir large quantities from time to

time, to ensure that the temperature is evenly

distributed.

● The times are for food at a room temperature of

20° C. The heating time for food stored in a

refrigerator should be increased slightly.

● After heating allow the food to stand for 1-2

minutes, so that the temperature inside the food

can be evenly distributed (standing time).

● The times given are guidelines which can be

varied according to the initial temperature,

weight, water content, fat content or the result

which you wish to achieve.

DEFROSTING

TURNING/STIRRING

Your microwave is ideal for thawing. Thawing

times are usually considerably shorter than in

traditional methods. Here are a few tips. Take the

frozen item out of its packaging and place on a

plate for thawing.

Almost all foods have to be

turned or stirred from time to

time. As early as possible,

separate parts which are stuck

together and rearrange them.

BOXES AND CONTAINERS

SMALL AMOUNTS...

Boxes and containers suitable for microwaves are

particularly good for thawing and heating food, since

they can withstand temperatures in a deep freeze

(down to approx. -40° C) as well as being heat-

resistant (up to approx. 220° C). You can therefore

use the same container to freeze, thaw, heat and even

cook the food, without having to transfer it.

thaw more quickly and evenly than larger ones.

We recommend that you freeze portions which are

as small as possible. By so doing you will be able

to prepare whole menus quickly and easily.

FOODS REQUIRING CAREFUL HANDLING,

Foods such as gateaux, cream, cheese and bread

should only be partially thawed and then left to

thaw completely at room temperature. By so doing

you will avoid the outer areas becoming too hot

while the inside is still frozen.

COVERING

Cover thin parts with small strips

of aluminium foil before thawing.

Thawed or warm parts should

likewise be covered with

aluminium strips during thawing.

This stops the thin parts becoming too hot while

thicker parts are still frozen.

STANDING TIME

This is particularly important after thawing food, as

the thawing process continues during this period.

In the thawing table you will find the standing

times for various foods. Thick, dense foods require

a longer standing time than thinner foods or food

of a porous nature. If the food has not thawed

sufficiently, you may continue thawing it in the

microwave oven or lengthen the standing time

accordingly. At the end of the standing time you

should process the food as soon as possible and

not re-freeze it.

CORRECT SETTING

It is better to choose a setting which is too low

rather than one which is too high. By so doing you

will ensure that the food thaws evenly. If the

microwave setting is too high, the surface of the

food will already have begun to cook while the

inside is still frozen.

COOKING FRESH VEGETABLES

● When buying vegetables try to ensure that, as

far as possible, they are of similar size. This is

particularly important when you want to cook

the vegetables whole (e.g. boiled potatoes).

● Wash the vegetables before preparing them,

clean them and only then weigh the required

quantity for the recipe and chop them up.

● Vegetables are usually cooked in a dish with a

lid. Those with a high moisture content, e.g.

onions or boiled potatoes, can be cooked in

microwave cling film without adding water.

● After half the cooking time has elapsed

vegetables should be stirred or turned over.

● After cooking allow the vegetables to stand for

approx. 2 minutes, so that the temperature

disperses evenly (standing time).

● Season them as you would normally, but as a

rule only add salt after cooking.

● Add about 5 tbsps of water for 500 g of

vegetables. Vegetables which are high in fibre

require a little more water. You will find

information about this in the table (see page 27).

● The cooking times given are guidelines and

depend upon the weight, initial temperature and

condition of the type of vegetable in question.

The fresher the vegetables, the shorter the

cooking times.

COOKING MEAT, FISH & POULTRY

● When buying food items, try to ensure that, as

far as possible, they are of similar size. This will

ensure that they are cooked properly.

● Before preparation wash meat, fish and poultry

thoroughly under cold running water and pat

them dry with kitchen paper. Then continue as

normal.

● Beef should be well hung and have little gristle.

● Even though the pieces may be of a similar size,

cooking results may vary. This is due, amongst

other things, to the kind of food, variations in

the fat and moisture content as well as the

temperature before cooking.

● Turn large pieces of meat, fish or poultry half

way through the cooking time, so that they are

cooked evenly from all sides.

● After cooking cover roasts with aluminium foil

and allow them to stand for approx. 10 minutes

(standing time). During this period the roast

carries on cooking and the liquid is evenly

distributed, so that when it is carved a minimum

amount of juice is lost.

DEFROSTING & COOKING

Deep-frozen dishes can be thawed and cooked at

the same time in one process in your microwave.

You will find some examples in the table. Do take

note, however, of the general advice given on

"heating" and "thawing" food.

Please refer to the manufacturer's instructions on

the packaging when preparing deep- frozen

dishes. These usually contain precise cooking times

and offer advice on preparation.

MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS

Your oven has 5 power levels. To choose the power

450 W for dense foods which require a long

cooking time when cooked conventionally, eg. beef

dishes, it is advisable to use this power setting to

ensure the meat will be tender.

level for cooking, follow the advice given in the

recipe section. Generally the following

recommendations apply:

900 W used for fast cooking or reheating e.g.

soup, casseroles, canned food, hot beverages,

vegetables, fish, etc.

270 W (Defrost setting) to defrost, select this

power setting, to ensure that the dish defrosts

evenly. This setting is also ideal for simmering rice,

pasta, dumplings and cooking egg custard.

630 W used for longer cooking of dense foods such

as roast joints, meat loaf and plated meals, also for

sensitive dishes such as cheese sauce and sponge

cakes. At this reduced setting, the sauce will not boil

over and food will cook evenly without over cooking

at the sides.

90 W For gentle defrosting, eg. cream gateaux or

pastry.

W = WATT

To set the microwave power level :

Rotate the TIMER/WEIGHT/POWER knob clockwise or counter-clockwise to select cooking time.

RECIPES

ADAPTING RECIPES FOR THE

MICROWAVE OVEN

FOR COMBINED OPERATION

In general the same rules apply as for microwave

operation. The following additional tips should be

borne in mind:

If you would like to adapt your favourite recipes for

the microwave, you should take note of the

following: Shorten cooking times by a third to a

half. Follow the example of the recipes in this

book. Foods which have a high moisture content

such as meat, fish, poultry, vegetables, fruit, stews

and soups can be prepared in your microwave

without any difficulty.

Foods which have little moisture, such as platters of

food, should have the surface moistened prior to

heating or cooking.

The amount of liquid to be added to raw foods,

which are to be braised, should be reduced to

about two thirds of the quantity in the originall

recipe. If necessary, add more liquid during

cooking.

1. The microwave power setting must match the

type of food and the cooking time. Consult the

recipes in this book.

2. When preparing food in microwave-grill

combination mode remember that microwave

times are longer for large, bulky food, such as

roast pork, than for small flat food. As far as

grilling is concerned the situation is quite the

opposite. The nearer the food is to the grill, the

quicker it browns. This means that when you

cook large pieces of meat, for example, in

combination mode, the grilling time needs to be

shorter than for smaller pieces of meat.

The amount of fat to be added can be reduced

considerably. A small amount of butter, margarine

or oil is sufficient to flavour food. For this reason

your microwave is excellent for preparing low-fat

foods as part of a diet.

3. Use the high rack for normal grilling to get quick

and even browning (exceptions are large, bulky

foods and puddings, which are also grilled on

the bottom rack).

HOW TO USE THE RECIPES

● All the recipes in this book are calculated on the

basis of 4 servings - unless otherwise stated.

● Recommendations relating to suitable utensils

and the total cooking times are given at the

beginning of every recipe.

● As a rule the quantities shown are assumed to

be wholly consumable, unless specifically

indicated otherwise.

● When eggs are given in the recipes they are

assumed to have weight of approx. 55 g

(medium).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Ecologically responsible disposal of packaging materials and old

appliances

Packaging materials

Zanussi microwave ovens require effective packaging to protect them during transportation.

Only the minimum packaging necessary is used.

Packaging materials (e.g. foil or styrofoam) can place children at risk.

Danger of suffocation. Keep packaging material away from children.

All packaging materials used are environment friendly and can be recycled. The cardboard is made from

recycled paper and the wooden parts are untreated. Plastic items are marked as follows:

«PE» polyethylene eg packaging film

«PS» polystyrene eg packaging (CFC-free)

«PP» polypropylene eg packaging straps

By using and re-using the packaging, raw materials are saved and waste volume is reduced.

Packaging should be taken to your nearest recycling centre.

Contact your local council for information.

Disposal of old appliances

Old appliances should be made safe before disposal by removing the plug, and cutting off and disposing

of the power cable.

It should then be taken to the nearest recycling centre. Check with your local Council or Environmental

Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area for recycling the appliance.

INSTALLATION

CONNECTING THE APPLIANCE TO THE POWER SUPPLY

• The electrical outlet should be readily accessible so that

the unit can be unplugged easily in an emergency.

• The socket should not be positioned behind the cupboard.

• The best position is above the cupboard, see (A).

(A)

When not connecting the power supply cord to position (A) it should

be removed from the support clip (see diagram, item 14, on page 5)

and routed under the oven.

• Connect the appliance to a single phase 230-240V/50Hz alternating

current via a correctly installed earth socket.

The socket must be fused with a ≥16A fuse.

• If the appliance is to be operated in a non-European

country, the supply voltage, current type and frequency of the appliance indicated on

the rating plate must correspond with the specification of your power supply. The

rating plate can be found on the inside face of the control panel.

• The power supply cord may only be replaced by an electrician.

• Before installing, tie a piece of string to the power supply cord to facilitate connection to point (A) when

the appliance is being installed.

• When inserting the appliance into the high-sided cupboard, DO NOT crush the power supply cord.
