Important safety instructions: Read carefully & keep
for future reference
To avoid the danger of fire
The microwave oven should not be
left unattended during operation.
Power levels that are too high or
cooking times that are too long may
overheat foods resulting in a fire.
The electrical outlet must be readily
accessible so that the unit can be
unplugged easily in an emergency.
The AC power supply must be 230 V,
50 Hz, with a minimum 16 A distribution
line fuse, or a minimum 16 A distribution
circuit breaker.
Do not store or use the oven outdoors.
If food being heated begins to
smoke, DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR.
Turn off and unplug the oven and
wait until the food has stopped
smoking. Opening the door while
food is smoking may cause a fire.
Only use microwave-safe
containers and utensils. See pages
15-16.
Do not leave the oven
unattended when using disposable
plastic, paper or other combustible
food containers.
Clean the waveguide cover, the
oven cavity, the turntable and
turntable support after use. These
must be dry and free from grease.
Built-up grease may overheat and
begin to smoke or catch fire.
Do not place flammable materials
near the oven or ventilation openings. Do
not block the ventilation openings.
Remove all metallic seals, wire twists,
etc., from food and food packages. Arcing
on metallic surfaces may cause a fire.
Do not use the microwave oven to heat
oil for deep frying. The temperature cannot
be controlled and the oil may catch fire.
To make popcorn, only use special
microwave popcorn makers.
Do not store food or any other items
inside the oven.
Check the settings after you start the
oven to ensure the oven is operating as
desired.
See the corresponding hints in this
operation manual.
To avoid the possibility of injury
Warning: Do not operate the oven if
it is damaged or malfunctioning.
Check the following before use:
a) The door; make sure the door
closes properly and ensure it is
not misaligned or warped.
b) The hinges and door safety
latches; check to make sure they
are not broken or loose.
c) The door seals and sealing
surfaces; ensure that they have
not been damaged.
d) Inside the oven cavity or on the
door; make sure there are no dents.
e) The power supply cord and plug;
ensure that they are not damaged.
Never adjust, repair or modify the
oven yourself. It is hazardous for
anyone other than a competent
person to carry out any service or

To avoid the possibility of explosion
and sudden boiling
Warning: Liquids and other foods
must not be heated in sealed
containers since they are liable to
explode.
Never use sealed containers. Remove
seals and lids before use. Sealed
containers can explode due to a build up
of pressure even after the oven has been
turned off.
Take care when microwaving liquids.
Use a wide-mouthed container to allow
bubbles to escape.
Microwave heating of beverages
can result in delayed eruptive
boiling, therefore care has to be
taken when handling the container.
To prevent sudden eruption of boiling
liquid and possible scalding:
1. Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.
2. It is advisable to insert a glass rod
or similar utensil into the liquid whilst
reheating.
3. Let liquid stand for at least 20
seconds in the oven at the end of
cooking time to prevent delayed
eruptive boiling.
Do not cook eggs in their shells
and whole hard boiled eggs should
not be heated in microwave ovens
since they may explode even after
microwave cooking has ended. To
cook or reheat eggs which have not
been scrambled or mixed, pierce
the yolks and the whites, or the
eggs may explode. Shell and slice
hard boiled eggs before reheating
them in the microwave oven.
Pierce the skin of such foods as
potatoes, sausages and fruit before
cooking, or they may explode.
Do not operate the oven with the
door open or alter the door safety
latches in any way.
Do not operate the oven if there is an
object between the door seals and
sealing surfaces.
Do not allow grease or dirt to
build up on the door seals and
adjacent parts. Follow instructions
for “Care & cleaning”, page 42.
Failure to maintain the oven in a
clean condition could lead to a
deterioration of the surface that
could adversely affect the life of the
appliance and possibly result in a
hazardous situation.
Individuals with PACEMAKERS
should check with their doctor or the
manufacturer of the pacemaker for
precautions regarding microwave ovens.
To avoid the possibility of electric
shock
Under no circumstances should you
remove the outer cabinet.
Never spill or insert any objects into the
door lock openings or ventilation openings.
In the event of a spill, turn off and unplug
the oven immediately and call an
authorised ELECTROLUX service agent.
Do not immerse the power supply cord
or plug in water or any other liquid. Do not
allow the power supply cord to run over
any hot or sharp surfaces, such as the hot
air vent area at the top rear of the oven.
Do not attempt to replace the oven
lamp yourself or allow anyone who is not
authorised by ELECTROLUX to do so. If
the oven lamp fails, please consult your
dealer or call an authorised ELECTROLUX
service agent.
If the power supply cord of this
appliance is damaged, it must be
replaced with a special cord. The
exchange must be made by an authorised
ELECTROLUX service agent.

To avoid the possibility of burns
Use pot holders or oven gloves when
removing food from the oven to prevent
burns.
Always open containers, popcorn
makers, oven cooking bags, etc., away
from the face and hands to avoid steam
burns.
To avoid burns, always test food
temperature and stir before serving
and pay special attention to the
temperature of food and drink given
to babies, children or the elderly.
Temperature of the container is not a
true indication of the temperature of the
food or drink; always check the food
temperature.
Always stand back from the oven
door when opening to avoid burns from
escaping steam and heat.
Slice stuffed baked foods after
heating to release steam and avoid
burns.
Keep children away from the door
and accessible parts that may become
hot when the grill is in use. Children
should be kept away to prevent them
burning themselves.
Do not touch the oven door, outer
cabinet, rear cabinet, oven cavity,
ventilation openings, accessories and
dishes during GRILL mode, DUAL
GRILL mode and AUTO COOK
operation as they will become hot. Before
cleaning make sure they are not hot.
To avoid misuse by children
Warning: Only allow children to use
the oven without supervision when
adequate instructions have been
given so that the child is able to use
the oven in a safe way and under-
stands the hazards of improper use.
Do not lean or swing on the oven door.
Do not play with the oven or use it as a
toy.Children should be taught all
important safety instructions: use of pot
holders, careful removal of food
coverings; paying special attention to
packaging (e.g. self-heating materials)
designed to make food crisp, as they
may be extra hot.
Other warnings
Never modify the oven in any way.
This oven is for home food
preparation only and may only be

except where recommended in the
operation manual, see page 18 note 2.
Doing so may damage the oven.
When using a browning dish or self-
heating material, always place a heat-
resistant insulator such as a porcelain
plate under it to prevent damage to the
turntable and turntable support due to
heat stress. The preheating time
specified in the dish’s instructions must
not be exceeded.
Do not use metal utensils, which
reflect microwaves and may cause
electrical arcing. Do not put cans in the
oven.
Only use the turntable and the
turntable support designed for this oven.
Do not operate the oven without the
turntable.

Microwave cooking
advice
Microwaves are energy waves, similar
to those used for TV and radio signals.
Electrical energy is converted into
microwave energy, which is directed
into the oven cavity via a waveguide.
To prevent food and grease entering
the waveguide it is protected by the
waveguide cover.
Microwaves cannot pass through
metal, because of this the oven cavity
is made of metal and there is a fine
metal mesh on the door. During
cooking the microwaves bounce off
the sides of the oven cavity at random.
Microwaves will pass through
certain materials, such as glass and
plastic, to heat the food. (See ‘Suitable
Cookware’ on pages 15-16).
To cook/defrost food in a
microwave oven, the microwave
energy must be able to pass through
the container to penetrate the food.
Therefore it is important to choose
suitable cookware.
Round/oval dishes are preferable to
square/oblong ones, as the food in the
corners tends to overcook. A variety of
cookware can be used as listed on
pages 15-16.
Water, sugar and fat in food
absorb microwaves which cause them
to vibrate. This creates heat by friction,
in the same way your hands get warm
when you rub them together.
The outer areas of the food are
heated by the microwave energy, then
the heat moves to the centre by
conduction, as it does in conventional
cooking. It is important to turn,
rearrange or stir food to ensure even
heating.
Once cooking is complete, the
oven automatically stops producing
microwaves.
Standing time is necessary after
cooking, as it enables the heat to
disperse equally throughout the food.
Microwaves cook food faster than
conventional cooking. It is therefore
essential that certain techniques are
followed to ensure good results. Many
of the following techniques are similar
to those used in conventional cooking.

Food characteristics
Composition Foods high in fat or sugar (e.g. Christmas pudding, mince pies) require less
heating time. Care should be taken as overheating can lead to fire.
Density Food density will affect the amount of cooking time needed. Light porous
foods, such as cakes or bread, cook more quickly than heavy, dense foods,
such as roasts and casseroles.
Quantity The cooking time must be increased as the amount of food placed in the
oven increases. e.g. Four potatoes will take longer to cook than two.
Size Small foods and small pieces cook faster than large ones, as microwaves can
penetrate from all sides to the centre. For even cooking make all the pieces
the same size.
Shape Foods which are irregular in shape, such as chicken breasts or drumsticks,
take longer to cook in the thicker parts. Round shapes cook more evenly than
square shapes when microwave cooking.
Temperature The initial temperature of food affects the amount of cooking time needed.
of food Chilled foods will take longer to cook than food at room temperature. Cut into
foods with fillings, for example jam doughnuts, to release heat or steam.
Cooking techniques
Arrange Place the thickest parts of food towards the outside of the dish.
e.g. Chicken drumsticks.
Cover Use vented microwave cling film or a suitable lid.
Pierce Foods with a shell, skin or membrane must be pierced in several places before
cooking or reheating as steam will build up and may cause food to explode.
e.g. Potatoes, Fish, Chicken, Sausages.
Note: Eggs should not be heated using microwave power as they may
explode, even after cooking has ended. e.g. poached, fried, hard boiled.
Stir, turn & For even cooking it is essential to stir, turn and rearrange food during cooking.
rearrange Always stir and rearrange from the outside towards the centre.
Stand Standing time is necessary after cooking to enable the heat to disperse equally
throughout the food.
Shield Some areas of food being defrosted may become warm. Warm areas can be
shielded with small pieces of foil, which reflect microwaves, e.g. legs and wings
on a chicken.

900 W used for fast cooking or reheating e.g. soup, casseroles, canned food, hot
beverages, vegetables, fish, etc.
630 W used for longer cooking of dense foods such as roast joints, meat loaf and plated
meals, also for sensitive dishes such as cheese sauce and sponge cakes. At this
reduced setting, the sauce will not boil over and food will cook evenly without over
cooking at the sides.
