Double oven features
The FMW 5613 - FMW 9613 consist of
two ovens. With the upper one a
microwave oven, you can enjoy the speed
and convenience of a compact microwave
oven. Be sure to carefully read this Use
and Care Manual to learn how to fully use
the oven.
Microwave cooking enables you to cook,
re-heat, simmer, defrost and even hold
warm with speed and convenience.
Because microwave cooking is cool
cooking, the cavity and the dishes are
easy to clean. Basic cooking techniques
are as important when cooking by
microwaves as they are in conventional
cooking, take a little time to become
familiar with them.
Start with something easy, heat a cup of
coffee for 1-2 minutes on high but open
the door at any time to check the
temperature. Try heating up a dinner
serving on a plate, it will take
2-3 minutes on 8 depending on the
evenness and temperature of the foods, look
for steam or feel the food to tell when it is
hot enough for you. When you are cooking
open the door at any time to check results.
You can always add time gradually, a few
seconds at a time, until you have the
result that you are looking for.
The lower oven contains two systems by
which you may cook, therefore enabling
you to-make your own choice. A brief
description of each system is given
below and full advice on their use is
given in the cookery book which
accompanies this cooker.
Cooking with the oven may be manual or
automatic. The programmer includes a
digital clock, a minute minder and
controls by which the oven can be set to
switch on and switched off unattended.

The oven light will show when the oven is
on ie., whenever the control knobs are
turned, whilst the indicator lights show
the behaviour of the thermostat during
cooking.
Conventional Cooking S
This traditional cooking method has been
incorporated to enable you to use your
favourite recipes without adaptation. It is
excellent for one shelf baking and for
cooking foods with a high egg content and
in which an even rise is essential.
Conventional Grilling S 0
The control is thermostatic making
grilling completely variable.
Ventilated Grilling ffl
This cooking system gives an
exceptionally fine finish to meats,
resulting in a succulent spit roast effect
for all joints, thick cuts of meat, duck,
chicken and some fish. Instructions for
using this system of cooking will be found
in the Zanussi cookbook.
Cuisinair Cooking ®
The fan ducted system that will roast, grill or
bake at the same time with veiy little flavour
transference and on any shelf level. This
method of cooking, usinglowertemperatures,
will give a saving in energy and reduce
the amount of cleaning needed in your oven.
Defrost *
On this setting, which is not a cooking
position, the fan is used on its own which
moves the cold air inside the oven and
thus assists the defrosting of frozen foods.

When the appliance is first installed
Once the appliance is installed the protective materials applied in the factory must
be removed.
The plastic film covering some external parts can be removed by wiping with a cloth
dipped in methylated spirit.
Other protective materials will bum off if the controls of the lower oven are turned
to MAX and then allowed to mn empty for 45 minutes. This will also remove any
unpleasant odours.

Using the microwave oven
To ensure maximum satisfaction from
your microwave oven we would like to
advise you of some precautions to
Dbserve when using your new microwave
cooking appliance.
Before using for the first time be sure
that all packing materials 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
Dperate after removing 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
head to cook food, the food item and
possibly the container may become hot.
This is particularly so when using a
browning dish.
Therefore, precautions that are taken
with conventional cooking should also be
observed when cooking with microwaves;
3are must be taken not to place a very
hot dish directly onto the inner lining of
the glass door.
[t is important to remember that it is
possible to burn all foods if they are
cooked for too long.
Safety precautions
DO NOT attempt to operate the oven
with the door open by tampering with
the safety-interlocks.
DO NOT place any object between the
oven front face and the door ar 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 qualified personnel, trained by the
manufacturer.
DO NOT use metal cookware in the oven.
WARNING
DO NOT OVERCOOK FOODS
Overcooking foods can result in
dehydration and subsequent fire.
Jacket potatoes, and foods with a high
sugar content such as those containing
dried fruits, are particularly vulnerable.
In the case of fire unplug the oven and
DO NOT open the oven door.
Cookware
As microwaves heat only the food, it is
possible to serve in the same dish you used
for cooking. This 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 fragile
glassware since abrupt heating and cooling
may break them. Some plastics, such as
melamine or urethane, are not recommended
because microwaves may warp or crack
9

them through heating by microwaves or
conduction of heat from the food For further
information, see your microwave cookbook.
Tips on using the microwave oven
Be sure to carefully read your cookbook
and become familiar with the results to
expect
Always gtart 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 the
desired result. Use the cooking time as a
guide and follow the desired result test
carefully.
The door can be opened at any time
during the cooking operation; the oven
will automatically stop cooking and the
time setting will maintain until the door
is closed, and the start button depressed.
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 shell.
Be sure to read each recipe carefully as
dish size, arrangements, stirring and
standing time are important in obtaining
good results.
Oven operation
The Variable Power Feature
Variable power includes settings from 10
for full power to 1. The 10 setting
provides the greatest speed of microwave
cooking. The settings between 10
and 1 represent decreasing amounts
of microwave energy.
This feature gives you total flexibility in
choosing the speed for microwave power
of cooking which will give you the best
result for each type of food.-As with
conventional cooking some foods require
slower or more gentle microwave cooking.
Other foods need to cook more slowly 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 are cooking.
