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.

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.
