Safety information
General safety
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FU-
TURE REFERENCE
• The built-in safety interlock switches pre-
vent 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 expo-
sure to microwave energy.
• Do not allow food spills or cleaner residue
to accumulate on door sealing surfaces.
See the Cleaning and Care section for
cleaning instructions.
• It is particularly important that the oven
door closes properly and that there is no
damage to the: (1) door (warped), (2) hing-
es and latches (broken or insecure), (3)
door seals and sealing surface.
Warning! If the door, hinges/latches or
door seals are damaged, the microwave
must not be operated until it has been
repaired by a authorized service person.
Warning! It is hazardous for anyone
except factory trained service personnel
to service or make adjustments to this
oven. Contact your nearest authorised
service agent 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 accord-
ance with 'installation instructions' found in
this manual.
• Use the appliance for its intended use as
described in this manual. Do not use cor-
rosive chemicals in this appliance. This
type of oven is specifically designed to
heat, cook, or defrost food. It is not de-
signed for industrial or laboratory use nei-
ther for commercial use as this will invalid-
ate the guarantee.
• Do not operate the oven empty. If food or
water is not present to absorb the micro-
wave 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 newspa-
pers in the microwave oven. These items
can ignite.
• Do not use the cavity for storage purposes.
Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils, or food in the cavity when not in
use.
• The temperature of accessible surfaces
may be high when the appliance is oper-
ating.
Warning! If smoke is observed, switch
off or unplug the appliance and keep the
door closed in order to stifle any flames.
Never use water.
Warning! The appliance is not intended
for use by children or persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction.
• Do not force the turntable to rotate by
hand. This may cause malfunctioning.
2electrolux

• The appliance is not intended to be oper-
ated by means of an external timer or sep-
arate remote-control system.
• Care should be taken not to obstruct any
air vents located on the top, rear, side and
bottom of the oven.
Warning! Do not use this oven for
commercial purposes. This oven is
made for domestic use only.
Utensil safety
Only use utensils that are suitable for use in
a microwave oven.
Arcing in the oven during microwave opera-
tion usually occurs from use of metallic uten-
sils. Continuous arcing, however, can dam-
age the unit. Stop the programme and check
the utensil.
Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-resistant
glassware utensils are excellent for use in the
microwave oven. Although microwave ener-
gy will not heat most glass and ceramic
items, these utensils can become hot as heat
transfers from the food to the container. The
use of oven gloves to remove dishes is rec-
ommended.
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 temper-
ature cannot be controlled, hazardous sit-
uations can result.
• Popcorn may be prepared in the micro-
wave oven, but only in special packages or
utensils designed specifically for this pur-
pose. This cooking operation should never
be unattended.
• Pierce foods with nonporous skins or
membranes to prevent steam buildup and
bursting. Apples, potatoes, 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.
Warning! Liquids or other foods must
not be heated in sealed containers since
they are liable to explode.
Warning! Microwave heating of
beverages can result in delayed eruptive
boiling, therefore care must be taken
when handling the container.
Warning! 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 sudden boil over of the hot liquid. To
prevent this possibility the following
steps should be taken:
1. Avoid using straight-sided contain-
ers with narrow necks.
2. Do not overheat.
3. Stir the liquid before placing the con-
tainer 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 con-
tainer.
Warning! 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 the
standing time of one minute before
removing cover.
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 condensa-
tion 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.
Oven utensils and accessories guide
A variety of Utensils and Materials maybe
used for cooking in your microwave oven.

Helpful hints and tips
Microwave hints
• Always keep the oven clean - avoid spill-
overs and do not forget to clean under the
glass tray and the inside of the door.
• Preferably use round or oval casseroles
with a lid when cooking in your microwave
oven.
• Do not use metal or metal decorated cas-
seroles. Certain plastic materials can melt
and be warped by hot food.
• Cover the food when cooking. Use a glass
lid, a plate or grease proof paper.
• Pastry, bread and the like can be defrosted
directly in a bread basket or on a paper
towel.
• If frozen food is heated in its packaging,
the packaging should be opened. Pack-
aging containing metal or metal decoration
must not be used unless specifically rec-
ommended for use in the microwave. Re-
move metal clips and wire ties.
• Smaller pieces of aluminium foil can be
used to cover parts that easily over cook
such as chicken legs.
• Food with peel or skin should be pierced
with a fork - e.g. potatoes and sausages.
Do not boil eggs in the microwave oven as
they can explode.
• Put large, thick pieces close to the edge of
the casserole and try to cut the food in to
even sized pieces. Always place the food
in the centre of the oven.
• The food will be evenly cooked if you stir
or turn it a few times.
• Always set a shorter cooking time than in-
dicated in your recipe to avoid over cook-
ing. The larger the amount of food the lon-
ger it takes.
• Use little or no water for vegetables.
• Use less salt and spices than for 'normal'
cooking.
• Season afterwards.
• Allow a few minutes 'standing' time after
the oven has switched off to ensure com-
plete and even cooking results.
• Always ensure food is piping hot through-
out before serving.
• Use pot holders or gloves when taking
dishes and food from the oven.
Microwave tips
•Softening Honey
If you have a jar of honey which has crys-
tallised, remove lid and place the jar in the
oven, microwave on medium power for 2
minutes.
•Melting Chocolate
Break 100g of chocolate into squares,
place in a bowl and heat on high power for
1-2 minutes and stir well.
•Softening or Melting Butter
Melting takes a few seconds on high pow-
er. Softening is best done more gently on
low power.
•Freshen or Warm Bread
Use medium power for few seconds.
•Peeling Garlic easily
Heat 3 or 4 cloves of garlic on high power
for 15 seconds. Squeeze at one end until
the clove pops out.
•Fruit Juice
Citrus fruits will yield more juice if they are
heated on high power for 15 seconds be-
fore squeezing.
•Cooking Porridge
Porridge is easily cooked in the serving
dish with no sticky pan to wash. Follow
food manufacturers' recommendations.
Care and cleaning
Cleaning is the only maintenance normally
required. Warning! Your microwave oven should
be cleaned regularly, removing all food
electrolux 9

remains. If the microwave is not kept
clean its surfaces may deteriorate,
reducing the oven’s working life and
possibly resulting in a dangerous
situation.
Warning! Cleaning should be done with
the oven power switched off. Take the
plug out of the socket or switch off the
oven’s power circuit.
Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning
products, scourers that scratch surfaces or
sharp objects, since stains may appear.
Do not use high pressure or stream jet clean-
ing appliances.
Accessories
Clean the accessories after each use. If they
are very dirty, soak them first of all and then
use a brush and sponge. The accessories
can be washed in a dish washing machine.
Make sure that the turntable plate and the
respective support are always clean. Do not
switch on the oven unless the turntable and
the respective support are in place.
Front surface
Normally you just need to clean the oven with
a damp cloth. If it is very dirty, add a few
drops of dish washing liquid to the cleaning
water. Afterwards, wipe the oven with a dry
cloth.
Use a glass cleaning product and a soft cloth
that does not release any fibres or threads.
Wipe from side to side without exerting any
pressure on the surface.
Immediately remove lime, fat, starch or egg
white stains. Corrosion can occur under
these stains.
Do not let any water get inside the oven.
Oven interior
After each time the oven is used, clean the
inside walls with a damp cloth since this is
the easiest way to remove splashes or spots
of food that may have stuck to the inside.
To remove dirt that is harder to shift, use a
non-aggressive cleaning product. Do not use
oven sprays or other aggressive or abrasive
cleaning products.
Always keep the door and the oven front very
clean to ensure that the door opens and
closes properly.
Make sure water does not enter the micro-
wave ventilation holes.
Regularly take out the turntable plate and the
respective support and clean the cavity base,
especially after any liquid spillage.
Do not switch on the oven without the turn-
table and the respective support being in
place.
If the oven cavity is very dirty, put a glass of
water on the turntable and switch on the mi-
crowave oven for 2 or 3 minutes at maximum
power. The steam released will soften the dirt
which can then be cleaned easily using a soft
cloth.
Unpleasant odours (e.g. after cooking fish)
can be eliminated easily. Put a few drops of
lemon juice in a cup with water. Put a spoon-
ful of coffee in the cup to avoid the water
boiling over. Heat the water for 2 to 3 minutes
at maximum microwave power.
