*THIS

APPLIANCE

MUST

BE

EARTHED

For

your

convenience

and

safety,

amp

power

socket

and

switch

on.

If

for

any

reason

you

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.

If

this

is

the

case

proceed

as

follows:

Connect

the

green

and

yellow

(earth)

wire

to

the

terminal

in

the

plug

which

is

marked

with

the

letter

‘E’

or

the

earth

symbol

j_

or

coloured

either

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

socket

elsewhere

in

the

house.

Fuses

The

appliance’s

moulded-on

plug

is

supplied

fitted

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

in

a

★

Never

remove

the

rear

panel

of

the

oven

to

Using

your

microwave

oven

Before

using

the

microwave

oven

for

the

first

time,

ensure

that

all

packaging

materials

have

been

removed

from

both

the

outside

and

inside

of

the

oven.

Wipe

out

the

inside

of

the

oven

with

a

damp

cloth.

Check

that

the

door

seal

and

sealing

surfaces

are

not

broken

or

cracked,

that

the

door

is

not

warped

and

that

the

hinges

and

latches

are

not

broken

or

loosened.

If

you

do

find

any

damage,

contact

your

local

Zanussi

Network

Service

Centre.

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

should

be

able

to

be

more

adventurous

as

you

become

more

familiar

with

this

method

of

cooking.

To

begin

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

a

medium

setting.

Look

for

steam

or

test

the

food

to

see

if

it

is

ready.

You

can

open

the

door

at

any

stage.

If

additional

time

is

needed,

add

it

gradually.

It

is

always

better

to

under

estimate

the

cooking

time

than

over

estimate.

Every

recipe

in

the

cookbook

gives

the

approximate

cooking

time.

Because

of

factors

such

as

food

temperature,

dish

shape,

arrangement

of

food

and

density

of

food

it

is

difficult

to

give

a

precise

time.

Always

start

with

a

shorter

time

and

add

time

if

needed.

The

microwave

oven

cooks

much

faster

than

conventional

ovens.

It

is

wise

to

take

special

care

when

you

are

cooking

something

for

which

specific

timings

have

not

been

recommended.

This

applies

particularly

when

reheating

foods.

Always

watch

the

cooking

or

heating

of

the

food

and

give

it

a

short

cooking

time,

adding

more

until

you

have

the

required

results.

You

will

soon

learn

the

correct

timings

for

cooking

or

heating

your

favourite

foods.

It

is

important

to

remember

that

it

is

possible

to

bum

foods

if

they

are

cooked

for

too

long,

but

the

burning

will

occur

inside

the

food

first

and

will

only

become

apparent

by

smell.

The

roller

stay

is

removable

and

should

be

correctly

positioned

with

the

turntable

seated

on

it.

Should

you

wish

to

use

a

browning

dish,

we

would

suggest

that

a

suitable

insulator

be

placed

between

turntable

and

browning

dish

in

order

to

prevent

the

glass

turntable

and

roller

stay

from

damage

by

heat

stress.

A

large,

heat

resistant

and

microwave

proof

glass

plate

may

be

used

as

an

insulator.

It

is

important

that

the

recommended

preheating

time

of

the

dish

should

not

be

exceeded.

The

door

seal

is

designed

to

prevent

leakage

of

microwave

energy

during

cooking.

Occasionally

moisture

may

appear

around

the

oven

door,

this

is

normal.

Please

remember

that

the

cookbook

is

only

a

guide.
