Read through the instruction manual carefully. The fol-
lowing instructions have been prepared so that you can
get the best from your new Electrolux 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 appliance so that the new
owner can become acquainted with the functioning 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 recommendations
given.

N.B. When you unpack the oven, check that the pro-
duct 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 so, you must remove this foil before
using the oven. Do not leave packing material so that
small children can play with it. This can be hazardous.
Unpacking
Explanation of the heating category label for microwave ovens and small packs of food
(up to 500g / 1 lb, typical of ready meals for 1 or 2 people)
as agreed by MAFF (the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food)

 The built-in safety interlock switches prevent
the microwave oven from operating when the door
is open.
 Do not tamper with them, or attempt to operate the oven
with the door open as open door operation can result
in exposure to microwave energy.
 Do not allow food spills or cleaner residue to accumu-
late on door sealing surfaces. See the Cleaning and
Care section for cleaning instructions.
 It is particularly important that the oven door closes pro-
perly and that there is no damage to the:
(1) door (warped), (2) hinges and latches (broken or
insecure), (3) door seals and sealing surface.
If the door, hinges/latches or door seals are
damaged, the microwave must not be operated
until it has been repaired by an authorized ser-
vice engineer.
It is hazardous for anyone other than factory
trained service personnel to service or make
adjustments to this oven. Contact your local
Electrolux Service Force Centre if service should
be required.
 Do not remove the outer case, door or control panel at
any time. Doing so may cause exposure to extremely
high voltage.
 Install or locate this oven only in accordance with
installation instructions found in this manual.
 Use the appliance for its intended use as described in
this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals in this
appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed
to heat, cook, or defrost food. It is not designed for
industrial or laboratory use neither for commercial use
as this will invalidate the guarantee.
 Do not operate the oven without the turntable correctly
positioned nor empty. If food or water is not present to
absorb the microwave energy, the magnetron tube
can be damaged.
 Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this
product near water.
 Do not attempt to dry clothing or newspapers in the
microwave oven. These items can ignite.
 In order to evacuate moisture, your appliance is fitted
with a delayed ventilation function. Depending on the
applied cooking mode (solo / grill / combination), the
oven ventilation will continue to operate after the cooking
end. It switches off automatically after 3 minutes.
 Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not
leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the
cavity when not in use.
If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the
appliance and keep the door closed in order to
stifle any flames. Never use water.
Only allow children to use the microwave with-
out supervision when adequate instructions have
been given so that the child is able to use the
microwave in a safe way and understands the
hazards of improper use.
Utensil safety
 Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-resistant glass-
ware utensils are excellent for use in the microwave
oven. Although microwave energy will not heat most
glass and ceramic items, these utensils can become
hot as heat transfers from the food to the container.
Use oven gloves to remove dishes.
Testing suitability of cookware
 Place the cookware in the microwave along with a
glass half full of water. Heat on 900W (100%) for one
minute. If the cookware feels hot, you should not use
it. If it is just slightly warm, you can use it for reheating
but not for cooking. If the dish is room temperature, it
is suitable for microwave cooking.
 Paper napkins, wax paper, paper towels, plates,
cups, cartons, freezer wrap and cardboard are great
convenience utensils. Always be sure containers are
filled with food to absorb energy and thus avoid the
possibility of overheating.
 Many plastic dishes, cups, freezer containers and
plastic wraps may be used in the microwave oven.
Follow manufacturers instructions when using plas-
tics in the oven. Avoid using plastic utensils with foods
that have high fat or sugar content since these foods
reach high temperatures and could melt some plastics.
 Do not leave the oven unattended, heating or cooking
food in plastic, paper or other combustible containers.
If smoke is observed, keep door closed, switch the
oven off or disconnect oven until smoke stops.

 Metal containers and containers with metallic trim
should not be used in the microwave oven, unless
specifically recommended for microwave use.
 Containers with restricted openings, such as bottles,
should not be used for microwave cooking.
 Use caution when removing a lid or cover from a dish
to avoid steam burns.
Foil containers
Shallow foil containers may safely be used to reheat
foods in your microwave oven providing the fol-
lowing rules are observed:
1. Foil containers should not be more than 3 cm (1 1/4)
deep.
2. Foil lids must not be used.
3. The foil containers must be at least two-thirds full of
food. Empty containers must never be used.
4. Foil containers should be used singly in the microwave
oven and should not be allowed to touch the sides. If
your oven has a metal turntable or cooking rack, the
foil container should be placed on an upturned oven-
proof plate.
5. Foil containers should never be re-used in the
microwave oven.
6. If the microwave oven has been in use for
15 minutes or more, allow it to cool before using it
again.
7. The container and turntable may become hot during
use, take great care when removing either from the
oven. It is advisable to use an oven cloth or glove
when doing so.
8. Remember when using an aluminium foil container
that the reheating or cooking times may be longer
than you are used to, always ensure that the food is
piping hot before serving.
Food safety
 Do not heat food in a can in the microwave oven.
Always remove the food to a suitable container.
 Deep fat frying should not be done in the microwave
oven, because the fat temperature cannot be con-
trolled, hazardous situations can result.
 Popcorn may be prepared in the microwave oven,
but only in special packages or utensils designed
specifically for this purpose. This cooking opera-
tion should never be unattended.
 Pierce foods with non-porous skins or membranes to
prevent steam build-up and bursting. Apples, pota-
toes, chicken livers, and egg yolks are examples of
items that should be pierced.
 The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are
to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be
checked before consumption, in order to avoid
burns.
When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces and
beverages in your microwave oven, overheating
the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without
evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sud-
den boil over of the hot liquid. To prevent this
possibility the following steps should be taken:
1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow
necks.
2. Do not overheat.
3. Stir the liquid before placing the container in the
oven and again halfway through the heating time.
4. After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short
time, stirring again before carefully removing the
container.
Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers  for example, closed glass jars 
may explode and should not be heated in this
oven. Occasionally, poached eggs may explode
during cooking. Always pierce the yolk, then
cover and allow standing time of one minute
before removing cover.
Keep these instructions!

Safety instructions when cooking by grill
1. The glass viewing window may break if water is spilled
on it during grilling.
2. Be sure to use an oven glove when loading and
unloading the oven. Containers get very hot in the
oven, so be careful not to burn yourself. The turntable
and metal rack also get very hot so be sure to use an
oven glove when handling them.
3. Do not touch the inner or outer viewing window with
metal components when loading or unloading the
oven. The inside of the door and oven get very hot so
take care when attending food in the oven.
4. Do not put the turntable or containers in cold water or
try to cool them quickly after use.
5. Do not place items on top of the cabinet. The top of
the cabinet gets very hot, so anything placed on it may
be damaged by the heat.
It is quite normal for steam to be emitted around
the door, or for misting to occur on the door, or
even for water droplets to appear below the door
during the cooking cycle. This is merely con-
densation from the heat of the food and does
not affect the safety of your oven. The door is
not intended to seal the oven cavity completely.
 Do not force the turntable to rotate by hand.
This may cause malfunctioning.
 Arcing in the oven during microwave operation
usually occurs from use of metallic utensils.
Continuous arcing, however, can damage the
unit. Stop the programme and check the uten-
sil.
 Care should be taken not to obstruct any air
vents located on the top, rear, side and bottom
of the oven.
Do not use this oven for commercial purposes.
