Safety information

IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

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. 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. The microwave oven is intended for heating food and beverages. Drying of food or clothing and heating of warming pads, slippers, sponges, damp cloth and similar may lead to risk of injury, ignition or fire. Metallic containers for food and beverages are not allowed during microwave cooking.

Care should be taken not to displace the turntable when removing containers from the appliance.

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 repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

Do not allow grease or dirt to build up on the door seals and adjacent parts. Follow the instructions for “Care and cleaning”. Clean the oven at regular intervals and remove any food deposits. 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.

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.

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.

Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when handling the container.

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.

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.

Keep children away from the door to prevent them burning themselves.

To avoid the misuse by children

WARNING!

The appliance and its accessible parts become hot during use. Children less than 8 years of age shall be kept away unless continuously supervised.

This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children unless they are aged from 8 years and above and supervised. This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as: staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments; farm houses; by clients in hotels, motels and other residential environments; bed and breakfast type environments. This appliance is not intended for use at altitudes above 2000m.

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. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided. Do not store or use the oven outdoors.

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. 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. 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.

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 explosion and sudden boiling

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.

To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and possible scalding:

- Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.

- It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar utensil into the liquid whilst reheating.

- Let liquid stand for at least 20 seconds in the oven at the end of cooking time to prevent delayed eruptive boiling. Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes, sausages and fruit before cooking, or they may explode.

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. 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. 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 used for cooking food. It is not suitable for commercial or laboratory use.

To promote trouble-free use of your oven and avoid damage

Never operate the oven when it is empty. 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.

To prevent the turntable from breaking:

• Before cleaning the turntable with water, leave the turntable to cool.
• Do not put hot foods or hot utensils on a cold turntable.
• Do not put cold foods or cold utensils on a hot turntable.

Do not place anything on the outer cabinet during operation.

IMPORTANT! If you are unsure how to connect your oven, please consult an authorised, qualified electrician.

Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the correct electrical connection procedure. Water vapour or drops may occasionally form on the oven walls or around the door seals and sealing surfaces. This is a normal occurrence and is not an indication of microwave leakage or a malfunction.

Microwave cooking advice

Microwave cooking advice

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.

Size For even cooking make all the pieces the same size.

Temperature of food The initial temperature of food affects the amount of cooking time needed. Cut into foods with fillings (e.g. jam doughnuts) to release heat or steam.

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). IMPORTANT! Eggs should not be heated using microwave power as they may explode, even after cooking has ended (e.g. poached, hard boiled).

Stir, turn and rearrange For even cooking it is essential to stir, turn and rearrange food during cooking. 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 Warm areas can be shielded with small pieces of foil, which reflect microwaves (e.g. legs and wings on a chicken).

Microwave cooking

Your oven has 6 power levels.

Power setting Suggested use

900 W/HIGH Used for fast cooking or reheating (e.g. soup, casseroles, canned food, hot beverages, vegetables, fish).

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.

450 W For dense foods which require a long cooking time when cooked conventionally (e.g. beef dishes) it is advisable to use this power setting to ensure the meat will be tender.

270 W/DEFROST To defrost, select this power setting, to ensure that the dish defrosts evenly. This setting is also ideal for simmering rice, pasta, dumplings and cooking egg custard.

90 W For gentle defrosting (e.g. cream gateaux or pastry).

0 W For standing/kitchen timer.

W = WATT

Your oven can be programmed for up to 90 minutes. The input unit of cooking time varies from 15 seconds to five minutes. It depends on the total length of the cooking time as shown in the table.

Cooking time Increasing unit
0-5 minutes 15 seconds

CAUTION!

DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS, STEAM CLEANERS, ABRASIVE, HARSH CLEANERS, ANY THAT CONTAIN SODIUM HYDROXIDE OR SCOURING PADS ON ANY PART OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN. CLEAN THE OVEN AT REGULAR INTERVALS AND REMOVE ANY FOOD DEPOSITS. 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.

Oven exterior

The outside of your oven can be cleaned easily with mild soap and water. Make sure the soap is wiped off with a moist cloth, and dry the exterior with a soft towel.

Control panel

Open the door before cleaning to de-activate the control panel. Care should be taken when cleaning the control panel. Using a cloth dampened with water only, gently wipe the panel until it becomes clean. Avoid using excessive amounts of water. Do not use any sort of chemical or abrasive cleaner.

Oven interior

For cleaning, wipe any splatters or spills with a soft damp cloth or sponge after each use while the oven is still warm. For heavier spills, use a mild soap and wipe several times with a damp cloth until all residues are removed. Do not remove the waveguide cover. Make sure that mild soap or water does not penetrate the small vents in the walls which may cause damage to the oven. Do not use spray type cleaners on the oven interior.

Turntable and turntable support

Remove the turntable and turntable support from the oven. Wash the turntable and turntable support in mild soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth. Both the turntable and the turntable support are dishwasher safe.

Door

To remove all trace of dirt, regularly clean both sides of the door, the door seals and sealing surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

IMPORTANT! A steam cleaner should not be used.

Installing the appliance

1. Remove all packaging and check carefully for any signs of damage.
2. Fit the fixing hooks to the kitchen cupboard using the instruction sheet and template supplied.
3. Fit the appliance into the kitchen cupboard slowly, and without force. The appliance should be lifted onto the fixing hooks and then lowered into place. In the case of interference during fitting, this hook is reversible. The front frame of the oven should seal against the front opening of the cupboard.
4. Ensure the appliance is stable and not leaning. Ensure that a 4 mm gap is kept between the cupboard door above and the top of the frame (see diagram).

Connecting the appliance to the power supply

• The electrical outlet should be readily accessible so that the unit can be unplugged easily in an emergency. Or it should be possible to isolate the oven from the supply by incorporating a switch in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.
• The socket should not be positioned behind the cupboard.
• The best position is above the cupboard, see (A).

• Connect the appliance to a single phase 230-240V/50 Hz alternating current via a correctly installed earth socket.
• The power supply cord may only be replaced by an electrician.
• If the appliance is to be operated in a non-European country, the supply voltage, current type and frequency of the appliance indicated on the rating plate must correspond with the specification of your power supply. The rating plate can be found on the inside face of the control panel.
• Before installing, tie a piece of string to the power supply cord to facilitate connection to point (A) when the appliance is being installed.
• When inserting the appliance into the high-sided cupboard, DO NOT crush the power supply cord.
• Do not immerse the power supply cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
