• If using a pizza paddle, sprinkle the paddle liberally with cornmeal for ease in transferring the dough to the metal turntable. maximum size is 12 inches for fresh and frozen pizzas.
• Avoid using a pizza stone as it can damage the oven.
• The metal turntable can be used for cutting pizza into slices. Remove the turntable from the oven after the pizza is baked.

SETTING PIZZA MODE FOR FRESH OR FROZEN PIZZA

SENSOR COOKING
You can select two sensor cooking modes. Sensor cooking allows you to cook many of your favorite foods without selecting cooking times and power levels. The microwave oven automatically determines the required cooking time for each food item. For best results for cooking by sensor, follow these recommendations:

• Food cooked with the sensor system should start from normal storage temperature.
• Metal turntable, ceramic turntable, and outside of container should be dry.
• Foods should always be covered loosely with microwavable plastic wrap, wax paper, or lid.
• Do not open the door or touch Clear/Off key during sensing time. When sensing time is over, the oven beeps once and the remaining cooking time will appear in the display. At this time you can open the door to stir, turn or rearrange the food.

SENSOR REHEAT
The Sensor Reheat feature lets you reheat dinner plates or casseroles (8-16 oz.) for your cooking convenience.

SETTING SENSOR REHEAT

1. Touch Sensor Reheat.
2. Touch Start/Enter. Sensing is displayed. The microwave operates during sensing.
3. When sensing is complete, a beep will sound and the calculated cook time will start to count down. Do not open the door during the sensing process, or the program will be canceled.
4. Once the calculated cook time is displayed, you can open the door to stir, turn, or rearrange the food. Touch Start/Enter to resume operation.
5. When sensor reheat is finished, a beep will sound and the appliance turns off.

COOKING SEAFOOD IN YOUR MICROWAVE

Be sure to place fish on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish. Be sure to always cook fish until it flakes easily with a fork. Use a tight cover to steam fish; a lighter cover of wax paper or paper towel provides less steaming. And be sure not to overcook fish; check it at a minimum cooking time before cooking longer.

SEAFOOD

| POWER LEVEL| COOKING TIME|

DIRECTIONS

---|---|---|---
Fish steaks up to 1 1/2 lbs| Medium high (7)| 7–11

min/lb

| Arrange fish on roasting rack with meaty portions toward the outside of rack. Cover with wax paper. Turn over and rearrange halfway through cook time.

Cook until fish flakes easily with fork.

Let stand 3–5 mins.

Fish fillets up to 1 1/2 lbs| Medium high (7)| 7–11

min/lb

| Arrange fillets in a baking dish. Cover with wax paper. If over 1/2” thick, turn over and

rearrange halfway through cook time. Cook until fish flakes easily with fork.

Let stand 2–3 mins.

Shrimp

up to

1 1/2 lbs

| Medium high (7)| 7–11

min/lb

| Arrange shrimp in a baking dish without overlapping or layering. Cover with wax paper. Cook until firm and opaque, stirring 2 or 3 times.

Let stand 5 mins.

COOKING EGGS AND VEGETABLES IN YOUR MICROWAVE

• Never cook eggs in the shell and never warm hard-cooked eggs in the shell; they can explode.
• Always pierce yolk on whole eggs to keep them from bursting.
• Cook eggs just until set; they will become tough if overcooked.
• Cooking scrambled eggs is safe.
• Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli with the stem ends pointing toward the edge of the dish and the tips toward the center.
• When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap.
• • Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skin pricked in several locations before cooking to prevent them from bursting.
• For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway through the cook time.
• Most of the time, the denser the food, the longer the required standing time. For example, a baked potato should stand for 5 minutes before serving, while a dish of peas may be served immediately.

HEATING FOOD

WARNING : Risk of scalding

There is a possibility of delayed boiling when a liquid is heated. This means that the liquid reaches boiling temperature without the usual steam bubbles rising to the surface. Even if the container only moves a little, the hot liquid can suddenly boil over and spatter. When heating liquids, always place a wooden spoon or chopstick in the container. This will prevent delayed boiling.

ACRYLAMIDE IN FOOD

Which foods are affected? Acrylamide is mainly produced in grain and potato products that are heated to high temperatures, such as potato crisps, chips, toast, bread rolls, bread, or fine baked goods (biscuits, gingerbread, cookies).
Tips for keeping acrylamide to a minimum when preparing food:

• Keep cooking times to a minimum.
• Cook meals until they are golden brown, but not too dark. Large, thick pieces of food contain less acrylamide.
• Max. 400°F in Top/bottom heating or max 350°F in convection cooking or baking mode.

ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT TIPS
Below are some tips on how to save energy when baking and roasting and how to dispose of your appliance properly.

SAVING ENERGY

• Only preheat the oven if this is specified in the recipe or in the operating instruction tables.
• When convection cooking, use dark, black, lacquered or enameled baking tins. They absorb the heat particularly well.
• Open the oven door as infrequently as possible while you are cooking, baking, or roasting.
• It is best to bake several cakes one after the other. The oven is still warm. This reduces the baking time for the second cake. You can also place two loaf tins next to each other.
• For longer cooking times, you can switch the oven off 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time and use the residual heat to finish cooking.

CARE AND CLEANING

• Penetrating moisture may cause an electric shock. Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.
• Never clean the appliance immediately after switching off, as you risk being burned. Let the appliance cool down.
• Microwave energy may escape if the cooking compartment door or the door seal is damaged, which can be a serious health risk. Never use the appliance if the cooking compartment door or the door seal is damaged. If you see damage, contact ZLINE at 1-614-777-5004.
• Slight differences in color on the front of the appliance are caused by the use of different materials, such as glass, plastic, and metal.
• Shadows on the door panel that look like streaks are caused by reflections made by the oven light.
• Unpleasant odors, e.g. after fish has been prepared, can be removed very easily. Add a few drops of lemon juice to a cup of water. Place a wooden spoon into the container to prevent delayed boiling. Heat the water for 1 to 2 minutes at maximum microwave power.
• When cleaning surfaces of the door and oven that come together when closing the door, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or a kitchen-safe cleaner applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

CLEANING AGENTS

• To ensure that the different surfaces are not damaged by using the wrong cleaning agent, observe the information in the table. Do not use:
  • Sharp or abrasive cleaning agents
  • Metal or glass scrapers to clean the glass in the appliance door
  • Metal or glass scrapers to clean the door seal
  • Hard scouring pads and sponges
  • Cleaning agents with high concentrations of alcohol
• Wash new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.
• Allow all surfaces to dry thoroughly before using the appliance again.

CLEANING GUIDE

Appliance front

| Hot soapy water: Clean with a dish cloth and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use glass cleaners or metal or glass scrapers for

cleaning.

Appliance front with stainless steel

| Hot soapy water: Clean with a dish cloth and dry with a soft cloth. Remove flecks of limescale, grease, starch, and albumin (e.g. egg white) immediately. Corrosion can form under

such residues. Special stainless steel cleaning agents can be obtained at appliance stores and other vendors. Do not use

glass cleaners or metal or glass scrapers for cleaning.

Cooking compartment

| Hot soapy water: Clean with a dish cloth and dry with a soft cloth. Remove flecks of limescale, grease, starch and albumin (e.g. egg white) immediately. Corrosion can form under such residues. Special stainless steel cleaning agents

can be obtained from the after-sales service or from specialist shops. Do not use glass cleaners or metal or glass scrapers

for cleaning.

Recess in cooking

compartment

| Damp cloth: Ensure that no water seeps through the turntable

drive into the appliance interior.

Door panels| Glass cleaner: Clean with a dish cloth. Do not use a glass

scraper.

Seal| Hot soapy water: Clean with a dish cloth, do not scour. Do

not use a metal or glass scraper for cleaning.
