Basic Oven Features
With your new microwave oven, you can
enjoy the speed and convenience of a full-
featured family-size microwave oven. Be
sure to carefully read this Use and Care
Manual and your cookbook to learn how to
fully use and enjoy the oven.
Microwave cooking enables you to cook,
reheat, roast, simmer, hold-warm and
even defrost with speed and convenience.
Because microwave cooking is cool
cooking, ovens and dishes are easy to
clean. Food is tasty and attractive. Basic
cooking techniques are as important when
microwave cooking as they are in
conventional cooking. These basics are
described throughout your cookbook.
Start with something easy; heat a cup of
coffee in a mug for 1V 2 minutes; but open
the door at any time and check if the coffee
is as hot as you like it. Next, try heating
leftovers on a dinner plate. An average
serving takes about 3-4 minutes; look for
steam or touch the food. Casseroles and
vegetables are also easy things to do. Wait
until you are comfortable with microwave
cooking before you try a roast. Open the
door, look and taste the food at any time
while cooking so you get the results you
like. If additional time is needed, add time
gradually; usually about Vsth of the
original time is a good starting point.
Use your cookbook to learn about
microwave cooking and use your Use and
Care Manual to learn how to operate your
oven.
The following is a brief description of the
special cooking features of your oven. They
are described in more detail throughout
the manual.
Variable Power
Allows total flexibility in choosing the
speed (microwave power) of cooMng which
will give you the best cooking results for
each type of food.
Food Temperature Probe With
Automatic Hold-Warm
Takes the guesswork out of microwave
cooking by allowing you to cook to an
internal temperature. To be used when
cooking joints, beverages, soups and
sauces, w^hen the selected temperature is
reached the “warm” setting will take over
to hold the food until it is required.
Meal-In-One Cooking
With your new^ microwave oven, you can
now^ microwave a two or three dish meal at
one time. Tw^o levels allows you to do fast
and slow cooking foods together because
slower cooking occurs on the shelf level
when another food is on the rack.
Touch Control With Memories
Your touch control feature allow's you the
benefit of easy cleaning wdth the flexibility
of programmed cooking with, memories.
You can programme your oven at one time
to automatically change powder setting,
time or temperature and remind you to stir
or add ingredients.
Time of Day Clock
The time of day clock is always ready with
the time of day w^hether your oven is in
operation or not.
Delay Start
You can programme your oven up to 24
hours in advance (including cooking time)
and walk away. Food will be hot and tasty
when you want it.

Installation
To install your oven follow these three
steps:
1. Remove all materials from the oven
interior.
2. Place the oven in a location of your
choice. Make certain that the oven is on a
level surface and that there is at least one
inch (2.5cm) of clearance at the top, 1V 2
inch (4cm) at the back and a total of 6
inches (15cm) side clearance to ensure
proper ventilation. Note; Do not store
cookbooks or this instruction manual inside
or underneath the oven.
3. Make the electrical connection as
detailed below.
Electrical connection
The microwave oven incorporates a
standardized plug suitable for the load and
voltage shown on the rating plate. If the
appliance is to be connected directly to the
electric network, it will be necessary to fit
betw^een the oven and the mains supply a
switched and fused spur suitable for
load and conforming to the
ruling standards.
The eatth cable (gi’een/yellow) should not
be interrupted by this switch.
Warning; for i^easons of safety it is strictly
forbidden to remove the rear panel to gain
access to the oven terminal board; any
extension should only be made by using the
standardized plug and the external cable,
and it should be suitable to carry the
expected load.
This appliance must be earthed.
Before the appliance is connected check
that: the fuse and the domestic installation
are suitable to carry the electric load of this
appliance (see the rating plate); the power
supply is properly earthed according to
existing mles and regulations; the wall
socket or the switched fuse spur
used for the connection can easily
be reached after the appliance
The manufacturers disclaim any
responsibility should these safety
instructions not be carried out.
Important
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code;
GREEN AND YELLOW — Earth
BLUE — Neutral
BROWN — Live
If you fit your owm plug, the colours of the
wires in the mains lead of your appliance
may not coiTespond with the markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, this
is w'hat you have to do; connect the green
and yelloW' (earth) wire to the terminal in
the plug wLich is marked with the letter
“E” or the earth ^ symbol or coloured
green, or gi’een and yellow.
Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the
terminal in the plug wLich is marked with
the letter “N” or coloured black.
Connect the browm (live) wire to the
terminal wLich is marked with the letter
“L” or coloured red.
If the plug is not suitable it must be cut off
and the appropriate plug fitted. The cut off
plug should be disposed of to prevent the
hazard of electric shocks in case it should
be plugged into a 13 Amp socket in another
part of your home.
The plug moulded onto the cord
incorporates a fuse. For replacement, use a
13 Amp BS 1362 fuse. Only ASTA
approved fuses should be used. The fuse
cover/canier must be replaced in the event
of changing fuse.
4

The right fuse cover/camer colour is the
one shown by the coloured insert at the
base of the plug. The plug must not be
used if the fuse cover/carrier is lost.
A replacement cover/camer must be
obtained from Zanussi Service Agents
whose addresses are listed on the attached
“Zanussi Service Agents Nation\ride”.
Important: After installation and electrical
connection of the appliance, place the cable
in such a way that it cannot at any point
reach a temperature more than 50°C above
the ambient temperature.
This appliance meets the requirements laid
down in EEC Directive No. 76/889 dated
4/11/1976 relating to the suppression of
radio and TV interference.
Important Facts You Should Know
Safety Precautions
Do Not attempt to operate the oven with
the door open by tampering with the safety
inteidocks.
Do Not place any object between the oven
front face and the door or allow the sealing
surfaces to accumulate dirt.
Do Not operate the oven if it is damaged in
any way.
Do Not attempt to have the oven adjusted
or repaired by anyone other than properly
qualified personnel.
Do Not use metal cookware
in the oven.
Cookware
As microwaves heat only the food, it is
possible to serve in the same dish you used
for cooking. The dish is warmed only
slightly through the heat of food. You can
cook in almost any type of ceramics except
those with gold, silver or platinum
decoration. However, it is recommended to
use completely baked ceramic dishes.
Any heat-resistant cookware can be used.
However, care should be taken when using
fi^agile glassware since abimpt heating and
cooling may break them.
Some plastics, such as melamine or
urethane, are not recommended because
microwaves may warp or crack them
through heating by microwaves or
conduction of heat from the food. For
further information, see your microwave
cook book.
Some tips on cooking
The microwave oven cooks much faster
than conventional ovens. You will have to
rely more on the times than on the
appearance because the food is cooked
inside and out almost simultaneously.
Check the food periodically until you
become familiar with this modern way of
cooking. Remember the cooking time may
require adjusting according to your taste
and because the food itself will vary in
w^eight, tenderness and shape.

Jbeatures

Using the
Microwave Oven
To ensure maximum satisfaction from your
microwave oven we would like to advise
you of some precautions to observe when
using your new microwave cooking
appliance.
Before using for the first time be sure that
all packing materials and the oven rack are
removed.
Do Not use the oven for storage when it is
not in use.
Do Not attempt to run the oven with no
food in it.
Do Not let the timer continue to operate
after removing a food, return the timer to
zero.
Do Not attempt to cook or reheat eggs in
the shell in the microwave oven: they may
explode.
Above all, this is a cooking appliance
designed to prepare food. Whilst
microwave ovens do not generate heat to
cook food the food item and possibly the
container may become hot. Therefore
precautions that are taken with
conventional cooking should also be
observed when cooking with microwaves.
The Time of Day Clock
• After plugging in the oven or after a
power cut the Display will be blank. Set
clock using the following instructions.
• If set, the time of day will always be
displayed when no other cooking function
is being used.
• If Time of Dav Clock is not set, a colon
will appear in the Display for 5 minutes
afer cooking, then the Display will be
blank.
• To check the time of day when
programming your oven or cooking, push
the CLOCK Pad. Time of day will be
displayed until the START Pad is
pushed.
Setting the Clock
1. PUSH CLOCK PAD. Clock Indicator
Light will come on. If changing, already
operating Time of Day Clock, no change
occurs in the Display Window.
2. PUSH CHANGE/CANCEL PAD
ON CE. If setting the clock for the first
time, no change will occur in the
Display Window.
3. SET THE TIME OF DAY BY
PUSHING THE APPROPRIATE
NUMBER PADS. The time you set will
appear in the Display Window.
4. PUSH START PAD. The Time of Day
Clock will not be activated until the
START Pad is pushed. Time will change
in one minute increments.
Microwave Cooking
With Time or Temperature
Microwave cooking is controlled with
either time or temperature. Microwave
with temperature is ideal when the
internal temperature is the indication of
doneness, such as roast or beverage.
(Detailed instructions for microwaving
with temperature are on pages 13 &14).
Use time when visual appearance, taste
or touch is the indication of doneness,
such as a potato, cake or sauce. (Detailed
instructions for microwaving with time
are on page 11).

Tips on Using the
Microwave Oven
• Be sure to carefully read your cook
book and become familiar with the
results to expect.
• Always start with the minimum
cooking time given in the book and add
time as needed to obtain the doneness
desired. Each recipe gives you a
suggested cooking time and indication
of doneness. Use the cooking time as a
guide and follow the doneness test
carefully.
• The door can be opened any time during
the cooking operation; the oven will
automatically stop cooking and the
time or temperature setting will
maintain until the door is closed and the
START Pad is pushed.
• A microwave oven is used for
defrosting, heating or cooking foods.
It should not be used for such things
as drying non-food items such as
flowers, canning, or cooking or re¬
heating hard cooked eggs with or
without the shell.
• Be sure to read each recipe carefully as
dish size, arrangements, stirring, and
standing time are important in
obtaining good results.
Use of Metal Rack
• Use the oven rack only when cooking
more than one food item.
• There are two rack positions, “upper”
rack position and “lower” rack position.
Do Not place the metal rack
on the bottom of the oven.
Rack Insertion
NOTE: Make sure to insert rack
properly.
1. Tip rack slightly, left side down and
insert in oven. Slide rack into left rack
supports.
2. Set other side on right rack supports.
Push down gently to secure in place and
push rack back as far as it will go.
To remove — lift up on right side, then
tilt gently pulling rack out of left
supports.

The Variable Power Feature
Variable power includes settings from
100% (HIGH) or full power to 10%
(WARM). The 100% setting provides the
greatest speed of microwave cooking. The
settings between 100% and 10% represent
decreasing amounts of microwave speed.
The cookbook supplied with your oven
describes which setting to use for each
type of food.
This feature gives you total flexibility in
choosing the speed (or microwave power)
of cooking which will give you the best
result for each type of food. As with
conventional coolung, some foods require
slower or more gentle microwave cooking.
Other foods need to cook slower so heat
from the outside has enough time to
conduct into the centre of the food.
Variable Power gives you the flexibility to
choose the microwave speed that is right
for the food you’re cooking.
Basic uses are as follows:
10% WARM
Softening cheese and butter, raising
bread, holding food warm
20% LOW
For small amounts of food you want to
cook very slowly, clarify butter, melt
chocolate, heat prebaked breads,
pancakes, pastries
30% DEFROST
40% BRAISE
Use for slow cooking of less tender cuts
of meats
50% SIMMER
Stews and soup, to start quick breads
and cakes
60% BAKE
Cakes and quick breads will cook fast
70% ROAST
Roast beef, meatloaves, ham
80% REHEAT
Reheating precooked foods and leftovers
90% SAUTE
For cooking onions, celery, green
peppers and other foods that cook
quickly
100% HIGH
Full power for vegetables, fish, hot
beverages, grill, Meal-In-One cooking.

Operating With
Temperature,
(Food Temperature
Probe & Automatic
Hold-Warm)
The food temperature probe is used as a
guide when cooking, reheating, or
warming food by temperature. When the
probes’ sensor is in place in the food and
the probes’ plug is inserted in the probe
plug socket the oven can cook by judging
the internal temperature of the food. After
the set temperature is reached, the oven
will automatically go into a Hold-Warm
setting. The temperature probe aids in
eliminating guesswork. Pages 15 and 16 of
this Use and Care Manual give details on
how to insert the food sensor for each food
item.
Automatic Hold-Warm
The Hold-Warm feature allows you to keep
food warm. Remember that the Hold-
Warm will continue to operate until the
food and the probe are removed from the
oven and the timer has been cancelled
or until 60 minutes has elapsed. As with
conventional cooking, prolonged holding
can result in overcooldng. As a mle, do not
hold an item over 1 hour; remember, with
microw^ave speed, it is easy to reheat foods
which have cooled off.
Food Temperature Guide
Internal temperature helps tell when
food is “done”. Temperatures listed
below help you judge w^hen food should be
taken from a microwave oven.
40° — Cured ham, bacon, cured
sausage, sandwiches.
52° — Rare beef roasts.
60° — Fish, meatloaf.
64° — Medium beef roasts.
66° — Minced beef, precooked main
dishes, leftovers, canned
vegetables, syrup.
68° — Well-done beef roasts.
70° — Soups, hot beverages, pork, veal
and venison roasts, fresh ham.
82° — Poultry, rabbit, w^ell-done
leg of lamb.
90° — Sauces
Do’s and Don’ts
Do insert Food Temperature sensor in
thickest part of meat or in the centre of
the food to reheat.
Do check that the first 12mm (Va inch) of
sensor is inserted in the densest part of
food to cook.
Do Not operate the oven empty with the
Food Temperature probe in the oven.
Do Not let Food Temperature sensor
touch the sides, bottom, top or door of
oven interior w^hen in operation.
Do Not use the probe in a conventional
oven. It w^as specially designed for
microw^ave cooking.
Do Not try to insert Food Temperature
sensor in frozen food.
Do Not insert anything into the probe
plug socket other than the probe that
accompanies your oven.
Do Not clean Food>Temperature Temp
probe in dishw^asher.

means that the oven is operating at 60%
of full powder.
7 PUSH THE START PAD: “-34” will
appear in the Display Window (or actual
temperature if greater than 34*^0) and
as the food cooks, the temperature
Display will increase in 2 degree
increments. When the set temperature
is reached a tone will sound three times
and the oven automatically reduces
power to 10% (Hold-Warm). When in
Hold-Warm, the Display will show time
counting dowm from 60 minutes to
indicate how long you’ve been in
Hold-Warm. The oven will continue to
cook in Hold-Warm for 60 minutes or
until CHANGE/CANCEL Pad is

Tips for Using the Food
Temperature Probe
Unless otherwise stated, leave the power
level set at high “HI”.
APPETIZER: Place food sensor in centre
of dip. Tip may touch bottom of dish. Set
desired doneness (temperature) 54'"C for
most dips. Stir before serving.
FROZEN FOOD AND CONVENIENCE
FOOD: Be sure food is completely
defrosted before inserting sensor. Insert
food sensor in thickest, largest or densest
portion of food. A temperature of 65°C is a
good reheating temperature for precooked
foods. Use REHEAT (80%) setting.
MAIN DISHES: Place food sensor in
centre of a meatloaf. Sensor should not
touch bottom of pan. Partly cover a
casserole dish, if desired, with glass lid to
shorten cooking time. Stir casserole before
serving if no topping has been added.
Standing times allow heat to penetrate
food and finish cooking. (Consult cookery
book for temperature and power settings).
SAUCE: Place
food sensor in
sauce. Sensor may
touch bottom of
dish. Heat to about
65°C.
SEAFOOD: Place
food sensor in
thickest part of
lobster or in centre
of the seafood
casserole. Set
desired final
temperature, 70°C
-75°C for most fish
and seafood.
SOUPS AND BEVERAGES: Place food
sensor in soup or beverage to be heated;
the tip of sensor may touch bottom of dish.
A temperature of 65°C or 70°C is ideal for
drinking. When additional ingredients are
added after heating set the oven to a
higher temperature. The liquid soup heats
faster, so soups with additional solid
ingredients should be heated to a higher
temperature. Disposable cups designed for
use with hot beverages may be used to
heat individual servings.
POULTRY : The probe may be used in
whole poultry as just one indicator of
doneness. However, because of the
variables in cooking whole poultrj^ (size,
shape of bird), we suggest the conventional
methods of testing doneness be used. Even
in conventional cooking, meat
thermometers cannot give an accurate
measure of doneness of all parts of the
bird. When using the probe with whole
poultry, insert sensor in thickest part of
breast meat. Remember to use
conventional doneness tests to assure an
accurate measure of doneness of poultry^
The food temperature probe can be used
successfully for heating poultry casseroles.
Place the sensor in centre of casserole; set
desired final temperature (65°-75°C).
VEGETABLES: Place food sensor in
centre of precooked vegetable to be
heated. Vegetables should be heated to
65°C-75°C.
MEAL-IN-ONE: When temperature is
used as doneness indicator for one food
item in the meal, place probe as indicated
under specific food category. (For best
results use probe in densest food item.)
OTHER FOODS: The food sensor is a
great help in the kitchen ... it cooks
without guesswork. Use with your
favourite recipes, especially those that
instruct “DO NOT BOIL” because it allows
greater control of temperature.
16

At times the same kinds of foods may vary
in shape, form and density and therefore
will not produce the same results each
time. For this reason we do not
recommend using this feature for thin food
items and foods that require tenderizing by
simmering.
In some cases the microwave oven may
shut off prematurely; this indicates either
that the probe is not inserted properly or
that it should not be used with this type of
food.
Experimenting is the key, so if you decide
to use the probe for roasting poultry and
cooking other food, rememb^er to
complement your evaluation of cooking by
the conventional doneness tests.

Cooking With Memories
The oven has two memories which you
can programme with any combination of a
variable power setting and time or
temperature. Many microwave recipes
use different power settings at various
times during the cooking process. The
memory feature automatically changes
power setting, cooking time or
temperature. A tone will sound between
memories to remind you that the memory
is changing. This memory tone and the
convenient indicator callouts, will help
you know exactly where you are on your
recipe. The following are common uses
for the memory feature.
• Let the memory tone remind you to
stir your sauce or add additional
ingredients to a main dish or stew.
• Use memory with Minute Timer to time
the rest time after defrosting or
cooking.
• Cook a vegetable, then let it stand at
zero power as specified in the recipe.
The memory tones will tell you when
your food is ready to serve.
• Bring your homemade vegetable soup
to aboil and then change to SIMMER
(50%) to blend the flavours using
memories,
• When microwaving cakes, begin the
cooking process on SIMMER (50%) to
raise the batter and automatically
change to HIGH (100%) to finish the
cooking and set the cake.
• Programme a memory tone to remind
you it’s time to baste your chicken.
• Microwave less tender meat on HIGH
(100%) to heat it through, then on
SIMMER (50%) to cook and tenderize.
Memories will change these settings
and times for you; the memory tone
reminds you to turn the meat, if
necessary.
