IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE  
To avoid the danger of fire.  
To avoid the possibility of injury  
WARNING:  
The microwave oven should not be left  
unattended during operation. Power levels  
that are too high, or cooking times that are  
too long, may overheat foods resulting in a  
fire.  
Do not operate the oven if it is damaged or  
malfunctioning. Check the following before use:  
a)The door; make sure the door closes properly and  
ensure it is not misaligned or warped.  
b)The hinges and safety door latches; check to make  
sure they are not broken or loose.  
c)The door seals and sealing surfaces; ensure that  
they have not been damaged.  
d)Inside the oven cavity or on the door; make sure  
there are no dents.  
e)The power supply cord and plug; ensure that they  
are not damaged.  
Never adjust , repair or modify the oven  
yourself. It is hazardous for anyone other  
than a competent person to carry out any  
service or repair operation which involves the  
removal of a cover which gives protection  
against exposure to microwave energy.  
Do not operate the oven with the door open or alter  
the door safety latches in any way.  
Do not operate the oven if there is an object between  
the door seals and sealing surfaces.  
Do not allow grease or dirt to build up on the  
door seals and adjacent parts. Follow the  
instructions for “Care and Cleaning” on page  
26. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean  
condition could lead to a deterioration of the  
surface that could adversely affect the life of  
the appliance and possibly result in a  
hazardous situation.  
Individuals with PACEMAKERS should check with their  
doctor or the manufacturer of the pacemaker for  
precautions regarding microwave ovens.  
To avoid the possibility of electric shock  
Under no circumstances should you remove the outer  
cabinet.  
Never spill or insert any objects into the door lock  
openings or ventilation openings. In the event of a  
spill, turn off and unplug the oven immediately and  
call an authorised ZANUSSI service agent.  
Do not immerse the power supply cord or plug in  
water or any other liquid.  
Do not allow the power supply cord to run over any  
hot or sharp surfaces, such as the hot air vent area at  
the top rear of the oven.  
Do not attempt to replace the oven lamp yourself or  
allow anyone who is not authorised by ZANUSSI to  
do so. If the oven lamp fails, please consult your  
dealer or an authorised ZANUSSI service agent.  
The electrical outlet must be readily accessible so that  
the unit can be unplugged easily in an emergency.  
The AC power supply must be 230 V, 50 Hz, with a  
minimum 10 A distribution line fuse, or a minimum 10 A  
distribution circuit breaker.  
It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only  
this appliance be provided.  
Do not store or use the oven outdoors.  
If food being heated begins to smoke, DO  
NOT OPEN THE DOOR. Turn off and unplug  
the oven and wait until the food has  
stopped smoking. Opening the door while  
food is smoking may cause a fire.  
Only use microwave-safe containers and  
utensils. See Page 7.  
Do not leave the oven unattended when  
using disposable plastic, paper or other  
combustible food containers.  
Clean the waveguide cover, the oven  
cavity, the turntable and turntable support  
after use. These must be dry and free from  
grease. Built-up grease may overheat and  
begin to smoke or catch fire.  
Do not place flammable materials near the oven or  
ventilation openings. Do not block the ventilation  
openings.  
Remove all metallic seals, wire twists, etc., from food  
and food packages. Arcing on metallic surfaces may  
cause a fire.  
Do not use the microwave oven to heat oil for deep  
frying. The temperature cannot be controlled and the  
oil may catch fire.  
To make popcorn, only use special microwave  
popcorn makers.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
If the power supply cord of this appliance is  
To avoid misuse by children  
damaged, it must be replaced with a special cord.  
The exchange must be made by an authorised  
ZANUSSI service agent.  
To avoid the possibility of explosion and  
sudden boiling:  
WARNING: Only allow children to use the  
oven without supervision when adequate  
instructions have been given so that the child  
is able to use the oven in a safe way and  
understands the hazards of improper use.  
WARNING: Liquids and other foods must  
not be heated in sealed containers since  
they are liable to explode.  
Never use sealed containers. Remove seals and lids  
before use. Sealed containers can explode due to a build  
up of pressure even after the oven has been turned off.  
Take care when microwaving liquids. Use a wide-  
mouthed container to allow bubbles to escape.  
Microwave heating of beverages can result in  
delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has  
to be taken when handling the container.  
To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and  
possible scalding:  
1. Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.  
2. It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar utensil  
into the liquid whilst reheating.  
3. Let liquid stand in the oven at the end of cooking  
time to prevent delayed eruptive boiling.  
Do not cook eggs in their shells, and whole  
hard boiled eggs should not be heated in  
microwave ovens since they may explode  
even after microwave cooking has ended.  
To cook or reheat eggs which have not  
been scrambled or mixed, pierce the yolks  
and the whites, or the eggs may explode.  
Shell and slice hard boiled eggs before  
reheating them in the microwave oven.  
Do not lean or swing on the oven door. Do not play  
with the oven or use it as a toy.  
Children should be taught all important safety  
instructions: use of pot holders, careful removal of  
food coverings; paying special attention to packaging  
(e.g. self-heating materials) designed to make food  
crisp, as they may be extra hot.  
Other warnings  
Never modify the oven in any way.  
This oven is for home food preparation only and may  
only be used for cooking food. It is not suitable for  
commercial or laboratory use.  
To promote trouble-free use of your oven  
and avoid damage.  
Never operate the oven when it is empty.  
When using a browning dish or self-heating material,  
always place a heat-resistant insulator such as a  
porcelain plate under it to prevent damage to the  
turntable and turntable support due to heat stress. The  
preheating time specified in the dishes instructions  
must not be exceeded.  
Do not use metal utensils, which reflect microwaves and  
may cause electrical arcing. Do not put cans in the oven.  
Only use the turntable and the turntable support  
designed for this oven. Do not operate the oven without  
the turntable.  
To prevent the turntable from breaking:  
(a)Before cleaning the turntable with water, leave the  
turntable to cool.  
(b)Do not put hot foods or hot utensils on a cold  
turntable.  
(c) Do not put cold foods or cold utensils on a hot  
turntable.  
Do not place anything on the outer cabinet during  
operation.  
NOTE:  
If you are unsure how to connect your oven, please  
consult an authorised, qualified electrician.  
Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can accept  
any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury  
resulting from failure to observe the correct electrical  
connection procedure.  
Water vapour or drops may occasionally form on the  
oven walls or around the door seals and sealing  
surfaces. This is a normal occurrence and is not an  
indication of microwave leakage or a malfunction.  
Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes, sausages  
and fruit before cooking, or they may explode.  
To avoid the possibility of burns  
Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing food  
from the oven to prevent burns.  
Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven  
cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands to  
avoid steam burns.  
To avoid burns, always test food temperature  
and stir before serving and pay special  
attention to the temperature of food and  
drink given to babies, children or the elderly.  
Temperature of the container is not a true indication of  
the temperature of the food or drink; always check the  
food temperature.  
Always stand back from the oven door when opening  
it to avoid burns from escaping steam and heat.  
Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release  
steam and avoid burns.  
Keep children away from the door to prevent them  
burning themselves.

WHAT ARE MICROWAVES?  
Microwaves are generated in the microwave oven by a magnetron and cause the water molecules in the  
food to oscillate. Heat is generated by the friction which is caused, with the result that the food is thawed,  
heated or cooked.  
SUITABLE OVENWARE  
GLASS AND CERAMIC GLASS  
BROWNING DISH  
Heat-resistant glass utensils are very  
A special microwave dish made from ceramic glass with  
a metal alloy base, which allows food to be browned.  
When using the browning dish a suitable insulator,  
e.g. a porcelain plate, must be placed between the  
turntable and the browning dish. Be careful to adhere  
exactly to the pre-heating time given in the  
manufacturer's instructions. Excessive pre-heating can  
damage the turntable and the turntable stand or can  
trigger the safety-device which will switch off the oven.  
suitable. The cooking process can be  
observed from all sides. They must  
not, however, contain any metal (e.g.  
lead crystal), nor have a metallic  
overlay (e.g. gold edge, cobalt blue finish).  
CERAMICS  
Generally very suitable. Ceramics must be glazed,  
since with unglazed ceramics moisture can get into  
the ceramic. Moisture causes the material to heat up  
and may make it shatter. If you are not certain  
whether your utensil is suitable for the microwave,  
carry out the utensil suitability test.  
METAL  
Generally speaking, metal should not be used, since  
microwaves do not pass through metal and therefore  
cannot reach the food. There are, however, exceptions:  
small strips of aluminium foil may be used to cover  
certain parts of the food, so that these do not thaw too  
quickly or begin to cook (e.g. chicken wings). Small  
metal skewers and aluminium containers (e.g. of ready-  
cooked meals) can be used. They must, however, be  
small in relation to the food, e.g. aluminium containers  
PORCELAIN  
Very suitable. Ensure that the porcelain does not have  
a gold or silver overlay and that it does not contain  
any metal.  
PLASTIC AND PAPER UTENSILS  
Heat resistant plastic utensils which are suitable for use  
in the microwave can be used to thaw, heat and cook  
food. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations.  
Heat-resistant paper made for use in a microwave  
oven is also suitable. Follow the manufacturer's  
recommendations.

must be at least / to / filled with food. It is  
recommended that you transfer the food into a dish  
suitable for use in the microwave. When using  
aluminium containers or other metal utensils there must  
be a gap of approx. 2 cms between them and the  
walls of the cooking area, otherwise the walls could be  
damaged by possible arcing.  
KITCHEN PAPER  
can be used to absorb any moisture which occurs  
in short heating methods, e.g. of bread or products  
in bread crumbs. Insert the paper between the food  
and the revolving plate. The surface of the food will  
stay crispy and dry. Covering greasy food with  
kitchen paper will catch splashes.  
NO UTENSIL SHOULD HAVE A METAL  
OVERLAY - parts such as screws, bands or handles.  
UTENSIL SUITABILITY TEST  
If you are not sure whether your utensil is suitable for  
use in your microwave oven, carry  
MICROWAVE CLING FILM  
This, or heat-resistant film, is very suitable for covering  
or wrapping. Please follow the manufacturer's  
recommendations.  
out the following test: Place the  
utensil into the oven. Place a glass  
container filled with 150 ml of  
ROASTING BAGS  
Can be used in a microwave oven. Metal clips are  
not suitable for fastening them since the roasting bag  
foil might melt. Fasten the roasting bag with string and  
pierce it several times with a fork. Non heat-resistant  
food wraps are not recommended for use in a  
microwave oven.  
water on or next to the utensil. Switch on the oven at  
800 W power for 1 to 2 minutes. If the utensil stays  
cool or just warm to the touch, it is suitable. Do not  
use this test on a plastic utensil. It could melt.

TIPS & ADVICE  
TIME SETTINGS  
amount of food which you would like to thaw, heat  
or cook. This means that small portions cook more  
quickly than larger ones. As a rule of thumb:  
TWICE THE AMOUNT = ALMOST TWICE THE TIME  
HALF THE AMOUNT = HALF THE TIME  
In general the thawing, heating and cooking times  
are significantly shorter than when using a  
conventional cooker or oven. For this reason you  
should adhere to the recommended times given in  
this book. It is better to set the times too short,  
rather than too long. Test the food after it has been  
cooked. It is better to have to cook something for a  
little longer than to overcook it.  
DEEP AND SHALLOW CONTAINERS  
Both containers have the same capacity, but the  
cooking time is longer for the deeper one. You  
should therefore choose as flat a container as  
possible with a large surface area. Only use deep  
containers for dishes where there is a danger  
ofovercooking, e.g. for noodles, rice, milk etc.  
INITIAL TEMPERATURES  
Thawing, heating and cooking times are dependent  
upon the initial temperature of the food. Deep-frozen  
food and food stored in arefrigerator, for example,  
requires longer than food which has been stored at  
room temperature. For heating and cooking, normal  
storage temperatures are assumed (refrigerator  
temperature approx. 5° C, room temperature  
approx. 20° C). For thawing the temperature of the  
deep freeze is assumed to be - 18° C.  
ROUND AND OVAL CONTAINERS  
Food cooks more evenly in round or oval containers  
than in containers with corners, since the  
microwave energy concentrates in the corners and  
the food in these areas could become overcooked.  
COVERING  
Covering the food retains the moisture within it and  
shortens the cooking time. Use a lid, microwave  
cling film or a cover. Foods which are to be crispy,  
e.g. roasts or chickens, should not be covered. As  
a general rule, whatever would be covered in a  
conventional oven should also be covered in a  
microwave oven. Whatever would be uncovered  
in a conventional oven can also be left uncovered  
in a microwave oven.  
COOKING TIMES  
All the times given in this book are guidelines,  
which can be varied according to the initial  
temperature, weight and condition of the food  
(water or fat content etc.).  
SALT, SPICES AND HERBS  
Food cooked in your microwave retains its  
individual flavour better than it does when  
conventional preparation methods are used. For  
this reason you should use salt very sparingly and  
normally add it only after cooking. Salt absorbs  
liquid and dries out the outer layer of the food.  
Herbs and spices can be used as normal.  
IRREGULAR SHAPED FOOD  
Place the thicker, more compacted end of the food  
pointing towards the outside. Place vegetables  
(such as broccoli) with the stalks pointing outward.  
STIRRING  
ADDITION OF WATER  
You need to stir the food because the microwaves  
heat the outer areas first. Stirring the food  
balances the temperature and the food heats  
evenly.  
Vegetables and other foods with a high water  
content can be cooked in their own juice or with  
the addition of a little water. This ensures that many  
vitamins and minerals are preserved.  
FATTY FOODS  
ARRANGING  
Food ‘marbled’ with fat or with layers of fat cook  
faster than lean meat. You should therefore cover  
these parts with some aluminium foil, and place the  
food fatty side downward.  
Arrange individual portions (pudding moulds, cups  
or baked potatoes) in a circle on the turntable.  
Leave space between the portions for the  
microwave energy to penetrate from all sides.  
FOOD IN SKINS OR SHELLS  
TURNING  
Food such as sausages, chickens, chicken legs,  
baked potatoes, tomatoes, apples, egg yolks or such  
like should be pricked or pierced with a fork or small  
wooden skewer. This will enable the steam which  
forms to dissipate without splitting the skin or shell.  
Medium-sized items, such as hamburgers and  
steaks, should be turned over once during cooking,  
in order to shorten the cooking process. Large  
items, such as roasts and chickens, must be turned,  
since the upper side receives more microwave  
energy and could dry out if not turned.  
LARGE AND SMALL QUANTITIES  
Microwave times are directly dependent upon the

TIPS & ADVICE  
STANDING TIME  
acquires a brownness, although this is not  
comparable to the deep brownness and crispness  
obtained through conventional cooking. In order  
to obtain an appetising brown colour you can use  
browning agents. For the most part they  
simultaneously act as seasoning agents. In the  
following table you will find some suggestions for  
substances you might use for browning and some  
of the uses to which you might put them.  
Keeping to the standing time is one of the most  
important rules with microwaves. Almost all foods,  
which are thawed, heated or cooked in the  
microwave, require a certain amount of time to stand,  
during which temperature equalisation takes place  
and the moisture in the food is evenly distributed.

HEATING  
Ready-prepared meals in aluminium containers  
should be removed from the aluminium container  
and heated on a plate or in a dish.  
Remove the lids from firmly closed containers.  
Food should be covered with microwave cling  
film, a plate or cover (obtainable from stores),  
so that the surface does not dry out. Drinks need  
not be covered.  
When boiling liquids such as water, coffee, tea or  
milk, place a glass stirrer in the container.  
If possible, stir large quantities from time to time, to  
ensure that the temperature is evenly distributed.  
The times are for food at a room temperature of  
20° C. The heating time for food stored in a  
refrigerator should be increased slightly.  
After heating allow the food to stand for 1-2  
minutes, so that the temperature inside the food can  
be evenly distributed (standing time).  
The times given are guidelines, which can be varied  
according to the initial temperature, weight, water  
content, fat content or the result which you wish to  
achieve.  
Here are a few tips. Take the frozen item out of its  
packaging and place on a plate for thawing.  
BOXES AND CONTAINERS  
Boxes and containers suitable for microwaves are  
particularly good for thawing and heating food, since  
they can withstand temperatures in a deep freeze  
(down to approx. –40° C) as well as being heat-  
resistant (up to approx. 220° C). You can therefore use  
the same container to thaw, heat and even cook the  
food, without having to transfer it.  
COVERING  
Cover thin parts with small strips of aluminium foil  
before thawing. Thawed or warm parts should likewise  
be covered with aluminium strips during thawing. This  
stops the thin parts becoming too hot while thicker  
parts are still frozen.  
CORRECT SETTING  
It is better to choose a setting which is too low rather  
than one which is too high. By so doing you will  
ensure that the food thaws evenly.  
If the microwave setting is too high, the surface of the  
food will already have begun to cook while the inside  
is still frozen.  
THAWING  
Your microwave is ideal for thawing. Thawing times  
are usually considerably shorter than in traditional  
methods of thawing.

TIPS & ADVICE  
TURNING/STIRRING  
After cooking allow the vegetables to stand for  
approx. 2 minutes, so that the temperature  
disperses evenly (standing time).  
The cooking times given are guidelines and  
depend upon the weight, initial temperature and  
condition of the type of vegetable in question.  
The fresher the vegetables, the shorter the  
cooking times.  
COOKING MEAT, FISH AND POULTRY  
When buying food items, try to ensure that, as  
far as possible, they are of similar size. This will  
ensure that they are cooked properly.  
Before preparation wash meat, fish and poultry  
thoroughly under cold running water and pat them  
dry with kitchen paper. Then continue as normal.  
Beef should be well hung and have little gristle.  
Even though the pieces may be of a similar size,  
cooking results may vary. This is due, amongst  
other things, to the kind of food, variations in  
the fat and moisture content as well as the  
temperature before cooking.  
After the food has been cooking for 15 minutes it  
acquires a natural brownness, which may be  
enhanced by the use of a browning agent. If, in  
addition, you would like the surface to be crisp you  
should either use the browning dish or sear the  
food on your cooker and finish cooking it in your  
microwave. By doing this you will simultaneously  
obtain a brown base for making a sauce.  
Turn large pieces of meat, fish or poultry half  
way through the cooking time, so that they are  
cooked evenly from all sides.  
After cooking cover roasts with aluminium foil  
and allow them to stand for approx. 10 minutes  
(standing time). During this period the roast  
carries on cooking and the liquid is evenly  
distributed, so that when it is carved a minimum  
amount of juice is lost.  
Almost all foods have to be turned or stirred from  
time to time. As early as possible, separate parts  
which are stuck together and rearrange them.  
SMALL AMOUNTS  
Thaw more quickly and evenly than larger ones.  
We recommend that you freeze portions which are  
as small as possible. By so doing you will be able  
to prepare whole menus quickly and easily.  
FOODS REQUIRING CAREFUL HANDLING  
Foods such as gateaux, cream, cheese and bread  
should only be partially thawed and then left to  
thaw completely at room temperature. By so doing  
you will avoid the outer areas becoming too hot  
while the inside is still frozen.  
STANDING TIME  
This is particularly important after thawing food, as  
the thawing process continues during this period. In  
the thawing table you will find the standing times  
for various foods. Thick, dense foods require a  
longer standing time than thinner foods or food of  
a porous nature. If the food has not thawed  
sufficiently, you may continue thawing it in the  
microwave oven or lengthen the standing time  
accordingly. At the end of the standing time you  
should process the food as soon as possible and  
not re-freeze it.  
COOKING FRESH VEGETABLES  
When buying vegetables try to ensure that, as  
far as possible, they are of similar size. This is  
particularly important when you want to cook  
the vegetables whole (e.g. boiled potatoes).  
Wash the vegetables before preparing them,  
clean them and only then weigh the required  
quantity for the recipe and chop them up.  
Season them as you would normally, but as a  
rule only add salt after cooking.  
Add about 5 tbsps of water for 500 g of  
vegetables. Vegetables which are high in fibre  
require a little more water. You will find  
information about this in the table.  
Vegetables are usually cooked in a dish with a  
lid. Those with a high moisture content, e.g.  
onions or boiled potatoes, can be cooked in  
microwave cling film without adding water.  
After half the cooking time has elapsed  
vegetables should be stirred or turned over.  
THAWING AND COOKING  
Deep-frozen dishes can be thawed and cooked at the  
same time in one process in your microwave. You will  
find some examples in the table. Do take note,  
however, of the general advice given on "heating"  
and "thawing" food. Please refer to the manufacturer's  
instructions on the packaging when preparing deep-  
frozen dishes. These usually contain precise cooking  
times and offer advice on preparation.

MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL  
Your oven has 5 power levels. To choose the power level  
400 W for dense foods which require a long cooking  
time when cooked conventionally, eg. beef dishes, it is  
advisable to use this power setting to ensure the meat  
will be tender.  
for cooking, follow the advice given in the recipe section.  
Generally the following recommendations apply:  
800 W used for fast cooking or reheating e.g. soup,  
casseroles, canned food, hot beverages, vegetables,  
fish, etc.  
240 W to defrost, select this power setting, to ensure  
that the dish defrosts evenly. This setting is also ideal  
for simmering rice, pasta, dumplings and cooking egg  
custard.  
560 W used for longer cooking of dense foods such as  
roast joints, meat loaf and plated meals, also for  
sensitive dishes such as cheese sauce and sponge  
cakes. At this reduced setting, the sauce will not boil  
over and food will cook evenly without over cooking at  
the sides.  
80 W For gentle defrosting, eg. cream gateaux or  
pastry.  
W = WATT.  
To set the power, touch the MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL button until the desired level is displayed.  
If MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL button is touched once,  
will be displayed. If you miss your desired  
level, continue touching the MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL button until you reach the level again.  
If the level is not selected, the level 800 W is automatically set.  
MANUAL OPERATION  
Your oven can be programmed for up to 90 minutes.  
(90.00) The input unit of cooking (defrosting) time  
varies from 10 seconds to five minutes. It depends on  
the total length of the cooking (defrosting) time as  
shown on the table.

RECIPES  
ADAPTING RECIPES FOR THE  
MICROWAVE OVEN  
If you would like to adapt your favourite recipes for  
the microwave, you should take note of the  
following:  
The amount of fat to be added can be reduced  
considerably. A small amount of butter, margarine  
or oil is sufficient to flavour food. For this reason  
your microwave is excellent for preparing low-fat  
foods as part of a diet.  
Shorten cooking times by a third to a half. Follow  
the example of the recipes in this book.  
HOW TO USE RECIPES  
All the recipes in this book are calculated on the  
basis of 4 servings - unless otherwise stated.  
Recommendations relating to suitable utensils  
and the total cooking times are given at the  
beginning of every recipe.  
As a rule the quantities shown are assumed to  
be wholly consumable, unless specifically  
indicated otherwise.  
Foods which have a high moisture content such as  
meat, fish, poultry, vegetables, fruit, stews and  
soups can be prepared in your microwave without  
any difficulty. Foods which have little moisture,  
such as platters of food, should have the surface  
moistened prior to heating or cooking.  
The amount of liquid to be added to raw foods,  
which are to be braised, should be reduced to  
about two thirds of the quantity in the original  
recipe. If necessary, add more liquid during  
cooking.  
When eggs are given in the recipes they are  
assumed to have weight of approx. 55 g  
(grade M).
