General Safety
• When cleaning surfaces of the door and oven that
come together when closing the door, use only mild,
nonabrasive soaps or kitchen-safe cleaners applied with
a sponge or soft cloth. Do not clean with metal scouring
pads. Pieces can burn off the pad and touch electrical
parts, increasing risk of electric shock.
• To reduce the risk of fire inside the oven:
• Do not overcook food. Carefully oversee appliance
when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials
are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
• Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags
before placing bag in oven.
• If material inside of the oven ignites, keep oven door
closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord,
or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
• Do not use the microwave for storage purposes. Do
not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food
inside when not in use.
• Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer’s
recommended accessories, in this oven
when not in use.

General Safety
• Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is
removed from the microwave oven is not always
present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUID
SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER
IS DISTURBED.
• To reduce the risk of injury:
• Do not overheat liquid.
• Stir the liquid before and halfway through heating it.
• Do not use straight sided containers with narrow necks.
• After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven for a short time before removing
the container.
• Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other
utensils into the container.
• Oversized food or oversized metal utensils should not be
inserted in a microwave oven as they may create a fire or
risk of electric shock.
• Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with
metal foil. This will cause over-heating of the oven.
• Do not use the microwave if the oven is empty.

CARE AND CLEANING
• Microwave energy may escape if the cooking compartment drawer, side rails, or drawer
guide rollers are damaged, which can be a serious health risk. Never use the appliance if any
portion of the drawer is damaged. If you see damage, contact ZLINE at 1-614-777-5004.
WARNING
NEVER use high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners. This increases the chance of
moisture penetrating inside the unit’s mechanical and electrical systems, which
may cause an electric shock.
• 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 easily. Add a few
drops of lemon juice to a cup of water. Place a wooden spoon into the container to prevent
superheating. Heat the water for 1 to 2 minutes at maximum microwave power.
CLEANING AGENTS
• To ensure that the different surfaces are not damaged by using the wrong cleaning agent,
observe the information in the table on page 20. Do not use:
• Sharp or abrasive cleaning agents
• Metal or glass scrapers to clean the glass in the drawer
• Metal or glass scrapers to clean the area where the microwave drawer and frame
touch when closed
• 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.

Soft dry cloth: Remove crumbs and food debris and wipe with
a soft dry cloth so the door may open and close smoothly. Pay
special attention to the white rollers that help guide the microwave
drawer. Open the drawer fully to thoroughly clean these rollers to
avoid arcing.
WARNING
NEVER clean the appliance immediately after switching off, as you risk being
burned. Let the appliance cool down before cleaning. Disconnect power before

IMPORTANT:
It’s recommended to thoroughly clean the interior of your microwave drawer at least
once a week. If the appliance is not cleaned often, food and grease can build up on the
ceramic base plate and in hard-to-reach locations along the white drawer guide rollers
and the sliding side rails — as outlined in the images below — which may cause arcing.
