Before using your microwave oven

Read through the instruction manual care-

fully. The following instructions have been

prepared so that you get the best from your

new Zanussi microwave oven. It is important

that this instruction book is retained with the

appliance for future reference. Should the

appliance be sold or transferred to another

owner, or if you move house and leave the

appliance, always ensure that the book is

supplied with the ap-pliance so that the new

owner can become acquainted with the fun-

ctioning of the appliance and the relevant

warnings. Please ensure you have read the

whole instruction book before using the

appliance and that you follow the recom-

mendations given.

Unpacking

N.B. When you unpack the oven, check

that the product is free from damage.

Damage or any missing parts must be

reported immediately to the retailer. The

oven, parts of the oven or the accessories

may be wrapped by a protection foil. If pre-

sent, you must remove this foil before

using the oven. Do not leave packing

material where small children can play with

it. This can be hazardous.

Safety Instructions

• The built-in safety interlock switches pre-

vent the microwave oven from operating

when the door is open.

• Do not operate the oven empty. If food or

water is not present to absorb the

microwave energy, the magnetron tube

can be damaged.

• Do not tamper with them, nor attempt to

operate the oven with the door open, as • Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do

open door operation can result in exposu-

re to microwave energy.

• Do not allow food spills or cleaner residue

to accu-mulate on door sealing surfaces.

aning instructions.

ance is fitted with a delayed ventilation

function. Depending on the applied coo-

king mode (solo / grill / combination), the

oven ventilation will continue to operate

after the cooking end. It switches off auto-

matically after 3 minutes.

• It is particularly important that the oven door clo-

ses properly and that there is no damage to the:

(1) door (warped), (2) hinges and latches

(broken or insecure), (3) door seals and sea-

ling surface.

• Do not use the cavity for storage purposes.

Do not leave paper products, cooking uten-

sils, or food in the cavity when not in use.

If the door, hinges/latches or door seals

are damaged, the appliance must not

be operated until it has been repaired

by an authorized service engineer.

If smoke is observed, switch off or

unplug the appliance and keep the

door closed in order to stifle any fla-

mes. Never use water.

It is hazardous for anyone except

factory trained service personnel to

service or make adjustments to this

oven. Contact your local Zanussi

Service Force Centre if service

should be required.

Do not allow children to use the

microwave without supervision until

adequate instructions have been

given so that the child is able to

safely operate the microwave and

understands the hazards of impro-

per use.

• Do not remove the outer case, door or

control panel at any time. Doing so may

cause exposure to extremely high voltage.

• Install or locate this oven only in accor-

dance with ‘installation instructions’ found

in this manual.

• Use the appliance for its intended use as

described in this manual. Do not use cor-

rosive chemicals in this appliance. This

type of oven is specifically designed to

heat, cook, or defrost food. It is not desig-

ned for industrial, laboratory, nor com-

mercial use, as this will invalidate the

guarantee.

ZM 24ST

Safety Instructions

recommended for microwave use.

Utensil safety

• Containers with restricted openings, such

as bottles, should not be used for

microwave cooking.

• Use caution when removing a lid or

cover from a dish to avoid steam burns.

• Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-resi-

stant glassware utensils are excellent for

use in the microwave oven. Although

microwave energy will not heat most

glass and ceramic items, these utensils

can become hot as heat transfers from

the food to the container. Use oven glo-

ves to remove dishes.

Foil containers

Shallow foil containers may safely be used

to reheat foods in your microwave oven pro-

viding the following rules are observed:

1. Foil containers should not be more than 3

cm (1¼”) deep.

Testing suitability of cookware

• Place the cookware in the microwave

along with a glass half full of water. Heat

on 900W (100%) for one minute. If the

cookware feels hot, you should not use it.

If it is just slightly warm, you can use it for

reheating but not for cooking. If the dish is

at room temperature, it is suitable for

microwave cooking.

• Paper napkins, wax paper, paper towels,

plates, cups, cartons, freezer wrap and

cardboard are great convenience utensils.

Always be sure containers are filled with

food to absorb energy and thus avoid the

possibility of overheating.

2. Foil lids must not be used.

3. The foil containers must be at least two-

thirds full of food. Empty containers must

never be used.

4. Foil containers should be used singly in

the microwave oven and should not be

allowed to touch the sides. If your oven

has a metal turntable or cooking rack, the

foil container should be placed on an

upturned ovenproof plate.

5. Foil containers should never be re-used

in the microwave oven.

6. If the microwave oven has been in use for

15 minutes or more, allow it to cool befo-

re using it again.

7. The container and turntable may beco-

me hot during use, take great care when

removing either from the oven. It is advi-

sable to use an oven cloth or glove when

doing so.

• Many plastic dishes, cups, freezer containers

and plastic wraps may be used in the

microwave oven. Follow manufacturer’s

instructions when using plastics in the oven.

Avoid using plastic utensils with foods that

have high fat or sugar content since these

foods reach high temperatures and could

melt some plastics.

8. Remember when using an aluminium foil

container that the reheating or cooking

times may be longer than those you are

used to, always ensure that the food is

piping hot before serving.

• Do not leave the oven unattended when

heating or cooking food in plastic, paper or

other combustible containers.

• Metal containers and containers with

metallic trim should not be used in the

microwave oven, unless specifically

ZM 24ST

Safety Instructions

Food safety

Some products such as whole eggs

and sealed containers – for examp-

le, closed glass jars – may explode

and should not be heated in this

oven. Occasionally, poached eggs

may explode during cooking. Always

pierce the yolk, then cover and allow

the standing time of one minute

before removing cover.

•

Do not heat food in a can in the microwa-

ve oven. Always remove the food to a

suitable container.

•

Do not use the appliance for deep fat fry-

ing, because the fat temperature cannot

be controlled, and hazardous situations

can result.

•

Popcorn may be prepared in the microwa-

ve oven, but only in special packages or

utensils designed specifically for this pur-

pose.This cooking operation should never

be left un attended.

Pierce foods with non-porous skins or

membranes to prevent steam build-up

and bursting. Apples, potatoes, chicken

livers, and egg yolks are examples of

items that should be pierced.

Keep these instructions!

MAFF Rating

Explanation of the heating category label for

sauces and beverages in your

microwave oven, overheating the

liquid beyond boiling point can

occur without evidence of bubbling.

This could result in a sudden boil

over of the hot liquid. To prevent this

possibility the following steps should

be taken:

Microwave Symbol

Always follow food manufacturers instruc-

tions when cooking ready meals.

Always ensure that food is piping hot

before serving.

N.B. The higher the power output and heat-

ing category of the microwave oven, the

less heating time is required.

1. Avoid using straight-sided containers

with narrow necks.

2. Do not overheat.

3. Stir the liquid before placing the contai-

ner in the oven and again halfway

through the heating time.

4. After heating, allow to stand in the oven

for a short time, stirring again before

carefully removing the container.

Care and cleaning

The oven must always be clean. Residue of

food from spill-overs or spatters will absorb

microwave energy causing it to burn on.This

could reduce the efficiency of the oven and

may cause unpleasant odours. Do not

attempt to tamper with or make any adjust-

ments or repairs to any part of the oven.

Repairs should only be made by an authori-

sed service engineer.

Cleaning the interior

Soilage that is allowed to remain on the

oven walls, door seal and door surface will

absorb microwave energy, reduce the effici-

ency of the oven, and possibly damage the

oven interior.

Use mild, liquid detergent, warm water and

a soft, clean cloth to remove soilage.

NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS,

COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS OR

STEEL WOOL PADS ON ANY PART OF

THE MICROWAVE OVEN.

Always ensure that the oven is dis-

connected from the electricity supply

before cleaning.

To loosen difficult soilage, boil a cup of water

in the microwave oven for 2 to 3 minutes.

NEVER USE A KNIFE OR ANY UTENSIL

TO REMOVE SOILAGE FROM OVEN SUR-

FACES.

To remove odours from the oven interior, boil

a cup of water containing 2 tablespoons of

lemon juice for 5 minutes.

Cleaning the accessories

Clean them with mild detergent after remo-

ving them from the cavity. The turntable sup-

port should be carefully handled.

The inside of the oven and turntable

get very hot, so do not touch them

immediately after use.

Cleaning the exterior

Open the oven door when cleaning the con-

trol panel. This will prevent the oven from

being turned on

accidentally.You should clean outside surfa-

ces of the oven with mild liquid detergent

and water, followed by a wiping with clear

water to remove any excess detergent. Dry

with a soft cloth.

Spray-on window cleaners or all purpose

spray-on kitchen cleaners can also be used.

Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads

or harsh chemicals on outside surfaces of

your oven. To prevent damage to the wor-

king parts, do not allow water to seep into

the ventilation openings.

For the installer

1. Remove any promotion label from the door.

2. This oven can be used as a free standing

oven or built-in, into a kitchen cabinet

using kit number BF246, which is ordered

separately. To install the oven in a kitchen

cabinet follow the instructions supplied

with the building-in kit.

The oven should be installed on a flat,

level surface. The surface must be strong

enough to safely bear the weight (18 kg)

of the oven, and the contents.To avoid the

possibility of causing vibration or noise

the oven must be in a stable position.

3. Keep the oven away from heat and water.

Exposure to heat and water can lower

oven efficiency and lead to malfunctio-

ning, so be sure to install the oven away

from heat and water sources.

Connecting to the mains

The oven is delivered with the power cord

and a plug for 240 V, 50Hz, earthed socket

outlet.

Earth protection minimizes the risks should

a shortcircuit occur. Check to ensure the vol-

tage of the oven matches the supply.

N.B. If the oven is connected to the socket

via an extension cord, make sure the cord is

earthed.

This appliance must not be used on a

non-earth protected power supply.

Contact an electrician if you are uncer-

tain regarding electricial connection of

the oven or provision of earth protec-

tion of the supply.

This appliance must be earthed. If this

appliance is fitted with a non-rewirable

plug for which your socket is unsuitab-

le, the plug should be cut off and the

appropriate plug fitted. If it is necessa-

ry to change the fuse in a nonrewirab-

le plug, the fuse cover must be refitted.

If the fuse cover is lost or damaged,

the plug must not be used until a repla-

cement is obtained.

4. If using the appliance as a free-standing

appliance do not block air vents on the

top and the sides of the cabinet and also

do not place any articles on the top of the

oven. A gap all around the oven is neces

sary : 140 mm above the oven and any

objects, 50 mm on the sides and 100 mm

behind the oven. If air vents are blocked

during operation the oven may overheat,

and this may lead to malfunctioning. Hot

air escapes from the vents, so be sure

not to obstruct them or let curtains come

between the oven and the rear wall.

5. Place the oven as far away from radios

and TVs as possible. This oven does con-

form to EEC requirements of radio interfe-

rence suppression, but some interference

may occur if it is placed too close to a

radio or TV, so keep them as far apart as

possible.

Electrical connections

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

The manufacturer declines any

liability should this safety measu-

re not be observed.

ZM 24ST

Build-in model

Connect to a plug socket with protective

earth contact and fused with a 13 A-L auto-

matic device or 13 A slow-blowing fuse.

When the oven is installed, there must be a

possibility of disconnecting it from mains

with a contact break of at least 3 mm on all

poles.

To install the appliance in a kitchen cabinet,

use the appropriate mounting frame. Note

the relevant instructions for installation and

connection. When building in to a high cabi-

net, you may use the lift door. Note the rele-

vant information for installation and connec-

tion given in the operating instructions of the

lift door.

A suitable size of LS-switch, or a melting or

fly-out fuse, are suitable contact-breakers.

Warning !

Never operate the microwave oven with the

lift door closed. Such operation would

damage your appliance and invalidate the

guarantee.
