General information about using the
appliance
General:
• After you deactivate the appliance, let the
food stand for some minutes.
• Remove the aluminium foil packaging, metal
containers, etc. before you prepare the food.
Cooking:
• If possible, cook food covered with material
suitable for use in the microwave. Only cook
food without a cover if you want to keep it
crusty
• Do not overcook the dishes by setting the
power and time too high. The food can dry
out, burn or catch fire in some places.
• Do not use the appliance to cook eggs or
snails in their shells, because they can ex-
plode. With fried eggs, pierce the yolks first.
• Prick food with "skin" or "peel", such as po-
tatoes, tomatoes, sausages, with a fork sev-
eral times before cooking so that the food
does not explode.
• For chilled or frozen food, set a longer cook-
ing time.
6
www.zanussi.com

• Dishes which contain sauce must be stirred
from time to time.
• Vegetables that have a firm structure, such
as carrots, peas or cauliflower, must be
cooked in water.
• Turn larger pieces after half of the cooking
time.
• If possible, cut vegetables into similar-sized
pieces.
• Use flat, wide dishes.
• Do not use cookware made of porcelain,
ceramic or earthenware with small holes, e.
g. on handles or unglazed bottoms. Mois-
ture going into the holes can cause the
cookware to crack when it is heated.
• The glass cooking tray is a work space for
heating food or liquids. It is necessary for
the operation of the microwave.
Defrosting meat, poultry, fish:
• Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a small
upturned plate with a container below it so
that the defrosting liquid collects in the con-
tainer.
• Turn the food after half of the defrosting
time. If possible, divide and then remove the
pieces that started to defrost.
Defrosting butter, portions of gateau,
quark:
• Do not fully defrost the food in the appli-
ance, but let it defrost at room temperature.
This gives a more even result. Fully remove
all metal or aluminium packaging before de-
frosting.
Defrosting fruit, vegetables:
• Do not fully defrost fruit and vegetables,
which are to be further prepared while raw,
in the appliance. Let them defrost at room
temperature.
• You can use a higher microwave power to
cook fruit and vegetables without defrosting
them first.
Ready meals:
• You can prepare ready meals in the appli-
ance only if their packaging is suitable for
microwave use.
• You must follow the manufacturer's instruc-
tions printed on the packaging (e.g. remove
the metal cover and pierce the plastic film).

Helpful hints and tips
Tips for the microwave
Problem Remedy
You cannot find details for the amount of
food prepared.
Look for a similar food. Increase or shorten the length of
the cooking times according to the following rule: Double
the amount = almost double the time, Half the
amount = half the time
The food got too dry. Set shorter cooking time or select lower microwave pow-
er.
The food is not defrosted, hot or cooked after
the time came to an end.
Set longer cooking time or set higher power. Note that
large dishes need longer time.
After the cooking time comes to an end, the
food is overheated at the edge but is still not
ready in the middle.
Next time set a lower power and a longer time. Stir liquids
halfway through, e.g. soup.
• You can find the standing time in the cook-
ing tables. This information tells how long
the food should stand in the appliance or
out of it after cooking. This lets the heat to
spread in the food equally.
• To get better results for rice use a flat, wide
dish.
The power setting and time in the cooking
tables are guidelines only. They depend
on the recipe, quality, quantity and tempera-
ture of the used ingredients.
Defrosting
Always defrost roast with the fat side down.
Do not defrost covered meat because this may
cause cooking instead of defrosting.
Always defrost whole poultry breast side
down.
