Ecologically responsible disposal of packaging materials
and old appliances
Packaging materials
ZANUSSI microwave ovens require effective packaging to protect them
during transportation. Only the minimum packaging necessary is used.
Packaging materials (e.g.foil or styrofoam) can place children at risk.
Danger of suffocation. Keep packaging material away from children.
All packaging materials used are environmentally friendly and can be
recycled. The cardboard is made from recycled paper and the wooden
parts are untreated. Plastic items are mar ked as follows :
«PE» polyethylene eg packaging film
«PS» polystyrene eg packaging (CFC-free)
«PP» polypropylene eg packaging straps
By using and re-using the packaging, raw materials are saved and waste
volume is reduced.
Packaging should be taken to your nearest recycling centre. Contact your
local council for information.
Disposal of old appliances
Old appliances should be made safe before disposal by removing the
plug, and cutting off and disposing of the power cable.
It should then be taken to the nearest recycling centre. Check with your
local Council or Environmental Health Office to see if there are facilities
in your area for recycling the appliance.

Safety instructions
• Whenever heating liquid, please also place a teaspoon in the container
to avoid delayed boiling.
During delayed boiling, the boiling temperature is attained without the
typical steam bubbles rising.When the container is shaken, even gently,
the liquid may then suddenly vigorously boil over or spurt - with the risk
of scalding the user.
• Food with «skin» or «peel», such as potatoes, tomatoes, sausages, and
the like, should be pierced with a fork so that any steam present can
escape and the food will not burst.
• Make sure that a minimum temperature of 70°C is attained for the
cooking / heating of food.Never use a mercury or liquid thermometer for
measuring the temperature of the food.
• Baby food in jars or bottles should always be heated without a lid or top,
and well stirred or shaken after heating, to ensure uniform distribution of
the heat. Always check the temperature before feeding your child to
avoid burns.
• The hot food in a microwave oven will heat up the ovenware. For this
reason always use oven gloves for handling hot dishes.
• Never cook your food for too long or at too high a power setting. Some
areas of the food can dry out or even ignite.
• Do not use porcelain or ceramic crockery , or porous earthenware (e.g.on
the handles or unglazed bases) in your microwave as these types of
dishes can absorb moisture from the food as it is cooking. This can cause
vapour pressure to build up which could shatter the dish.
•W
ARNING:be sure to remove the cap or lid before cooking foods or heating
liquids in a sealed bottle or container, which could otherwise explode.
Do not use your microwave oven for the following :
• to boil eggs or escargots in their shells, as they will burst. Eggs can be
poached in a microwave oven as long as the yolks are pricked.
• to heat large quantities of cooking oil (fondue or deep frying) and drinks
containing a high percentage of alcohol - there is danger of
spontaneous combustion !
• to heat unopened cans, bottles, etc.
• to dry animals, textiles or paper.

• The viewing window heats up during grilling and convection cooking
(and in combination with microwave cooking), so keep small children
away from the appliance.
• The cooking area, the grill heating elements, the rack, and the turntable
become very hot during all modes. Make sure you use oven gloves to
handle dishes, and remember to use only ovenproof cookw are such as
ceramic dishes or heat resistant glass. Do not touch heating elements
inside the oven.
Take care not to be burned !
• Preheat your oven only when grilling or using the convection functions,
never when microwaving nor in the combined modes of microwave +
grill or microwave + convection cooking.
The grill folds down for easy cleaning :
1 Horizontal position: for cooking au gratin, food laid
flat e.g. sausages
2 Vertical position : exclusively for cleaning the oven.
Always allow the grill to cool off for 25 minutes
before touching it.

ZMB 30CST t
• Food comes in all shapes, sizes and textures. The quantities also
vary. For these reasons the time and amount of energy needed to
defrost, heat or cook will also vary. As a general rule :
Double the quantity/weight = nearly double the time*
*Please refer to the cooking charts. To be on the safe side, always
select the shorter cooking time. Then extend the time as necessary.
• Microwaves work by making the food heat itself up.Because of this, not
all areas of the food will be heated at the same time.When heating larger
quantities of food, it is particularly important to stir or tur n them over.
• “Standing time” is referred to in the cooking charts.This is the time you
should leave the f ood to stand without pow er (either inside or outside the
appliance).This ensures even distribution of heat throughout the food.
