is open.
leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in
the cavity when not in use.
• Do not tamper with them, nor attempt to operate the
oven with the door open, as open door operation
can result in exposure to microwave energy.
• Do not allow food spills or cleaner residue to accu-
mulate on door sealing surfaces. See the Cleaning
and Care section for cleaning instructions.
• It is particularly important that the oven door closes
properly and that there is no damage to the:
(1) door (warped), (2) hinges and latches (broken
or insecure), (3) door seals and sealing surface.
If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the
!
appliance and keep the door closed in order
to stifle any flames. Never use water.
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 improper use.
If the door, hinges/latches or door seals are
!
damaged, the appliance must not be operated
Utensil safety
until it has been repaired by an authorized
service engineer.
• Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-resistant
glassware utensils are excellent for use in the micro-
wave 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 gloves to remove dishes.
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 remove the outer case, door or control
panel at any time. Doing so may cause exposure to
extremely high voltage.
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.
• Install or locate this oven only in accordance with
‘installation instructions’ found in this manual.
• Use the appliance for its intended use as described
in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals in
this appliance. This type of oven is specifically
designed to heat, cook, or defrost food. It is not
designed for industrial, laboratory, nor commer-
cial use, as this will invalidate the guarantee.
• Do not operate the oven empty. If food or water is
not present to absorb the microwave energy, the
magnetron tube can be damaged.
• 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.
• Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use
this product near water.
• Do not attempt to dry clothing or newspapers in the
microwave oven. These items can ignite.
•
In order to evacuate moisture, your appliance is fit-
ted with a delayed ventilation function. Depending
on the applied cooking mode (solo / grill / combi-
nation), the oven ventilation will continue to operate
after the cooking end. It switches off automatically
after 3 minutes.
• Do not leave the oven unattended when heating or
cooking food in plastic, paper or other combustible
containers.

•
The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars
should not be used in the microwave oven, unless
specifically recommended for microwave use.
• Containers with restricted openings, such as bottles,

are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is
to be checked before consumption, in order to
avoid burns.
When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces and
!
beverages in your microwave oven, overhea-
ting 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:
Foil containers
Shallow foil containers may safely be used to reheat
foods in your microwave oven providing the following
rules are observed:
1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow
necks.
1. Foil containers should not be more than 3 cm (1¼”)
deep.
2. Do not overheat.
2. Foil lids must not be used.
3. Stir the liquid before placing the container 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.
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.
Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
!
containers – for example, 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.
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 before using it
again.
7. The container and turntable may become hot
during use, take great care when removing either
from the oven. It is advisable to use an oven cloth or
glove when doing so.
Keep these instructions!
MAFF Rating (UK)
Explanation of the heating category label for micro-
wave ovens and small packs of food (up to 500g/1lb,
typical of ready meals for 1 or 2 people) as agreed
by MAFF (the Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and
Food) in conjunction with food and Microwave Oven
manufacturers.
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.
Food safety
•
Do not heat food in a can in the microwave oven.
Always remove the food to a suitable container.
Do not use the appliance for deep fat frying,
because the fat temperature cannot be controlled,
and hazardous situations can result.

Popcorn may be prepared in the microwave oven,
but only in special packages or utensils designed
specifically for this purpose. This cooking
operation should never be left unattended.
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.
Always follow food manufacturers instructions when
cooking ready meals.
Always ensure that food is piping hot before serving.

Defrosting Tips
1. It is better to underestimate defrosting time if you
are unsure. Food will continue to defrost during
the standing time.
6. Place food in a larger container than that which it
was frozen in to allow for easy stirring.
7. Begin thawing poultry breast side down and turn
over halfway through defrosting time. Delicate
areas such as wing tips can be shielded with
small pieces of smooth foil.
2. Separate food into smaller pieces as soon as pos-
sible.
3. Turn large items, e.g. joints, halfway through the
defrosting time.
8. Standing time is very important, particularly for
large, dense foods which cannot be stirred in
order to ensure that the centre is completely
defrosted before cooking.
4. Remove any thawed food as soon as possible.
5. Remove or open any packaging before defrosting.
Manual defrosting
For manual defrosting (without using Auto Defrost features) use 150W. To speed up the defrosting of dense
foods over 450g (1lb), the oven may be started on full power for 1–3 minutes, then be reduced to 150W until
defrosting is complete.

Microw a ve Hin ts
•
Always keep the oven clean – avoid spill-overs
and do not forget to clean under the turntable and
the inside of the door.
•
Put large, thick pieces close to the edge of the
casserole and try to cut the food into even-sized
pieces. Always place the food in the centre of the
oven.
•
•
It is preferable to use round or oval casseroles
with a lid when cooking in your microwave oven.
Do not use metal or metal decorated casserole
dishes. Certain plastic materials can melt and be
warped by hot food.
•
•
The food will be more evenly cooked if you stir or
turn it regularly.
Always set a shorter cooking time than indicated
in your recipe to avoid overcooking. The larger the
amount of food the longer it takes.
Use little or no water for vegetables.
Use less salt and spices than for conventional
cooking.
•
•
•
Cover the food when cooking. Use a glass lid,
a plate or grease proof paper.
•
•
Pastry, bread and the like can be defrosted directly
in a bread basket or on a paper towel.
If frozen food is heated in its packaging, the pack-
aging should be opened. Packaging containing
metal or metal decoration must not be used un-
less specifically recommended for use in the
microwave. Remove metal clips and wire ties.
Smaller pieces of aluminium foil can be used
to cover parts that easily overcook such as
chicken legs.
•
•
Season afterwards.
Allow a few minutes ‘standing time' after the oven
has switched off to ensure complete and even
cooking results.
•
•
Always ensure food is piping hot throughout before
serving.
•
•
Use gloves when taking dishes and food from the
oven.
Food with peel or skin should be pierced with
a fork – e.g. potatoes and sausages. Do not boil
eggs in the microwave oven as they can explode.

Ca re a n d clea n in g
The oven must always be clean. Residue of food from
Cleaning the interior
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 adjustments
or repairs to any part of the oven. Repairs should only
be made by an authorised service engineer.
Soilage that is allowed to remain on the oven walls,
door seal and door surface will absorb microwave
energy, reduce the efficiency 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 disconnected
!
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 SURFACES.
Cleaning the accessories
Clean them with mild detergent after removing them
from the cavity.The turntable support should be care-
fully handled.
To remove odours from the oven interior, boil a cup of
water containing 2 tablespoons of lemon juice for 5
minutes.
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 control panel.
This will prevent the oven from being turned on
accidentally.You should clean outside surfaces 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
working parts, do not allow water to seep into the
ventilation openings.

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.
for 240 V, 50Hz, earthed socket outlet.
Earth protection minimizes the risks should a short-
circuit occur. Check to ensure the voltage of the oven
matches the supply.
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.
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
3. Keep the oven away from heat and water. Exposure
to heat and water can lower oven efficiency and
lead to malfunctioning, so be sure to install the
oven away from heat and water sources.
if you are uncertain regarding electricial
connection of the oven or provision of earth
protection of the supply.
This appliance must be earthed. If this
appliance is fitted with a non-rewirable plug
for which your socket is unsuitable, the plug
should be cut off and the appropriate plug
fitted. If it is necessary to change the fuse in
a nonrewirable plug, the fuse cover must be
refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged,
the plug must not be used until a replacement
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
necessary : 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 mal-
functioning. Hot air escapes from the vents, so be
sure not to obstruct them or let curtains come be-
tween the oven and the rear wall.
5. Place the oven as far away from radios and TVs as
possible. This oven does conform to EEC require-
ments of radio interference 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.
