Installation
Positioning
This oven is free-standing and can be placed
wherever you ehoose within reach of a
power outlet. Ensure the surface is level
and that the oven has adequate ventilation.
There must be at least 2.5 em/1 inch of
clearance at the top, 4 em/11⁄2 inches at the
back and a total of 15 em/6 inches side
clearance.
NOTE: Do not store cookbooks or this
instruction book inside or underneath the |
oven.
Electrical Connection
For your convenience and safety your new
Zanussi microwave comes ready fitted with
a moulded flex and plug. All you have to do
is push the plug into a 13 amp power socket
and switch on. However, if for some reason
you need to replace this plug with one of
your own, you will find the wires inside the
flex are colour coded as follows:
GREEN AND YELLOW - EARTH
BLUE -NEUTRAL
BROWN — LIVE
If you fit your own plug, the colours of the
wires in the mains lead of your appliance
may not correspond with the markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, this
is what you have to do:
Connect the green and yellow (earth) wire
to the terminal in the plug which is marked
with the letter «E» or Ше earth symbol ,
or coloured green, or green and yellow.
Connect the blue (neutral wire to the
terminal in the plug which is marked with
the letter «N» or coloured black. Connect
the brown (live) wire to the terminal which
is marked with the letter «L» or coloured
red.
Fuses
The appliance's moulded on plug is supplied
fitted with a 13 amp BS1362 fuse. If this
` fuse blows you can replace it in the
following way:
— Remove the plug from the power socket
and use a small screwdriver to lever out the
red plastic fuse carrier located between the
plug's prongs, together with the old fuse.
Fit it with a new 13 amp fuse and clip it
back into the plug. Make sure your new
fuse is ‘ASTA’ approved. If Ше carrier is
damaged you can get a new one from your
local Zanussi Service Agent.
Safety
The manufacturer declines to accept any
liability should these safety measures not
be observed;
Ф Check that the supply flex and any other
wiring is positioned in such a way that
when the microwave oven is operating its
temperature at any point is less than
50 degrees C above the ambient
temperature of the room.
© Never remove the rear panel of the oven
to gain access to the terminal board. If an
extension is required it should be made
using the standardised plug and the
external cable and it should be capable of
carrying the expected load.
Ф Check that the fuse and domestic
installation are suitable to carry the electric
load of this appliance (see rating plate at
the back of the oven).
Ф Check the appliance is properly earthed
according to existing rules and regulations.
Ф The appliance meets the requirements
laid down in EEC Directive No. 76/889 and
amendment 82/499 relating to the
suppression of radio and TV interference.
IMPORTANT: UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD ANY
SERVICE REPAIR WORK BE
CARRIED OUT ON THIS APPLIANCE
BY UNQUALIFIED PERSONS.

This sealed-in oven floor allows the food to
be penetrated from the base upwards. The
microwaves pass through the oven floor
and bounce off the metal base back into the |
oven cavity.

cleaning.

This ensures that the oven cannot operate -
with the door open. The oven automatically
switches off when the door is opened.

comes on. To close the door, just push it
back into place until you hear a click.

The door has two skins sandwiching a metal
mesh. The mesh deflects the microwaves
back into the oven cavity. The door has also
been designed to give clear vision to the
inside of the oven.
Е -Stirrer Cover
This plastic cover protects the stirrer from
а build up of soil. The blade is designed to
distribute the microwaves evenly
throughout the oven cavity. The stirrer
cover should not be removed.
G - Light |
The light operates when the oven is in use
or the door is opened. It switches off at the
same time as the programme finishes.

Using
Your
Microwave
Oven
The Microwave Oven
Microwave cooking is very versatile. It
enables you to cook, reheat, roast, simmer,
hold-warm and even defrost with speed and
convenience.
As microwaving is such a new and fast way
of cooking, you must be prepared to
gradually become more adventurous as you
progress. |
Start with something easy; heat a cup of
coffee in a mug for two 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 plate. An average serving
takes about 2-3 minutes on power level 8.
Look for steam or test the food to see if it is
ready.
. Feel free to open the door at any time. If
additional time is needed, add time
gradually. It is better to under estimate
than over estimate.
Before using the microwave oven for the
first time, be sure all the packaging
materials from both the outside and inside
of the oven have been removed. Wipe out
the inside of the oven with a damp cloth.
The Time of the Day Clock
When the oven is plugged in the clock
display window will remain blank unless
you set the time of day.
Once set, the time of day is always. |
displayed when no other cooking function is
being used.

in the display window for five minutes after
cooking is complete then the display
window will go blank.
10
The time of day ean be checked once a
programme has been set, by touching the
clock pad, the time will remain displayed
until the start pad is touched again. This
does not interrupt the running of the
programme.
After a power cut the display window will
be blank and you will have to re-set the
. clock.

changes in one minute increments.
