This manual gives insight into all the possibilities this appliance offers. The different functions are listed clearly in the chapter on controls. Tips that may help you are also included.

First read the user instructions carefully and completely before starting to use the appliance, and keep them safely for future reference.

The manual also serves as reference material for service technicians. The appliance identification card contains all the information that the service technician will need in order to respond appropriately to your questions.

Happy cooking!

Warming up and cooking

  • The microwave always heats with the same intensity. The more you place in the microwave, the longer the cooking time.
  • Flatter dishes heat up more quickly than thin, tall dishes.
  • Covering dishes with microwave film or a fitting lid prevents spattering, reduces cooking time and helps retain moisture levels. After cooking remove the foil or lid carefully. Please note! The steam released can be extremely hot!
  • Dishes that dry out quickly can be moistened. Place potatoes and vegetables in cold water briefly before you place them in the microwave. This prevents a skin forming.
    • For an even result it is best to stir or turn a dish a few times.
  • For warming up dishes which have already been cooked, always use the highest microwave setting.
  • You don't need much water, salt or herbs for the cooking. Salt is best added after cooking. This prevents moisture from being withdrawn from the food.
  • After the microwave is switched off, the dish continues cooking for a short time. Take this into account and don't heat up the dish for too long.
  • Please note! When heating small quantities of powder-forming products (such as when drying herbs), always place a small cup of water in the microwave. Self-combustion is possible if small quantities are heated.

Defrosting

  • Always use the defrost programme to defrost large compact items. Because the dish is defrosted gradually and evenly, you don't run the risk that the outside dries out while the core is still frozen.
  • To accelerate the defrosting process, it is advised to separate the item into sections after a certain amount of time.
  • For large pieces of meat and compact dishes, have two breaks in the process.
  • When defrosting an irregularly-formed dish you can cover thin areas halfway through the defrosting process or wrap them with aluminium foil.

Factors that influence the cooking process

  • The temperature of the ingredients influences the preparation time. A cold meal needs more cooking time than a meal at room temperature.
  • Lighter dishes cook faster than heavier and solid dishes, such as stews or rolled meats. Take care in preparing light, porous dishes. The edges will quickly become dry and tough.
  • Smaller dishes are warmed more evenly if you place them in the microwave separate from each other, preferably in a circle.
  • Bones and fat conduct heat better than meat. Aluminium foil blocks the microwaves. By covering thinner areas of dishes (such as chicken legs and wings) you prevent them from cooking too quickly.
  • Grease-proof paper prevents spattering and helps retain the heat.

Basic techniques

Placement

- Place thicker pieces on the outside of the turntable. Dishes placed on the outside of the turntable receive the most microwaves.

Stirring

- Stirring dishes regularly distributes the stored heat. Always stir from the outside in, since the outside of the dish always heats up first.

Turning over

- Large, thick dishes should be turned over regularly. They then cook more evenly and quickly.

Pricking

- Food with a skin or shell bursts open in the microwave, such as egg yolks, seafood and fruit. Prevent this by pricking it before cooking a few times with a fork or satay stick.

Checking

- Dishes cook quickly. That's why you should check them regularly. Take them out of the microwave just before they're ready.

Continued cooking

- In general, allow dishes to stand covered for 3 to 10 minutes after removing them from the microwave. The dishes continue to cook. Don't cover dishes with a dry crust, such as cake.

Freezing

- When freezing food you should take defrosting in the microwave into account, by not using aluminium foil or trays and by freezing in flat portions.

Cooking vegetables

  • If possible, always use fresh vegetables. If vegetables have become a little limp because they've been left for too long, you can place them in cold water for a while so that they absorb moisture.
  • Use a large dish to cook vegetables, so that the layer covering the dish base is not too thick.
  • Don't add any more water to vegetables than that remaining after rinsing.
    • Always cover the dish with a lid or microwave film.
  • Do not add salt. The salts present naturally in the vegetables should give sufficient flavour. If you still wish to add salt, you can do this after cooking.
  • Cook vegetables for the shortest time possible. Take into account the fact that the vegetables will continue to cook.
  • Check with a satay stick or fork whether the vegetables are ready.

Cooking fish

- Fish needs to cook evenly. For thin fish, oily fish or small portions set the power to 30%. In other cases you can set the power somewhat higher. Take continued cooking into account. Fish is ready when it becomes opaque.

Cleaning

ETNA ECM274RVS - Cleaning - 1

  • DO NOT USE any abrasive cleaners or metal scrapers to clean the glass door. This will scratch the surface which may cause the glass to break.
  • DO NOT USE high pressure cleaners or steam cleaners to clean the microwave.
  • Clean the interior directly after use. Use a damp cloth to remove condensation, boiled over liquid and food remnants. Remnants of crumbs and moisture absorb microwave energy and increase cooking time.
  • Clean the interior and outer casing regularly; use some washing-up liquid and water and dry the microwave well with a dry cloth.
  • Ensure that the cover of the microwave distributor is clean. Dirt in the cover can lead to spark formation.
  • Clean the accessories regularly; use some washing-up liquid and water with a brush and dry the accessories well with a dry cloth. The accessories may also be washed in the dishwasher.
  • Smells will disappear if you place a glass of vinegar or water with lemon in the microwave area. Switch the microwave on at full power for two minutes. Then rub down with a damp cloth.
  • Check the door closure and the door rubber regularly for damage. Do not use the microwave if the door or door closure is damaged.
  • If the seal of the microwave is very dirty, the door won't close properly. The front of adjacent furniture can become damaged. Keep the seal clean.
  • Salt is extremely aggressive. When this is deposited in the oven interior, rust patches can be created.
  • Spicy sauces such as ketchup and mustard or salty dishes such as salted meat contain ingredients that can erode the surface. After use, you should always clean the oven interior.

Put the microwave on a solid, flat surface.

Ensure that there is adequate ventilation around the microwave.

• Is the plug in the socket?
• Is the door closed properly?
- Is the fuse in the fuse box faulty?
- Are the power settings and times set properly?
- Are there objects in the microwave that shouldn't be there?
• Did you use the correct kitchen utensils?
- Are the ventilation openings blocked?

Sparks in the microwave

If you see sparks in the microwave, turn the microwave off immediately. Sparks can be caused by:

  • metal or aluminium foil that touches the interior of the microwave;
  • aluminium foil that is not correctly covering the food (points that stick up act as an antenna);
  • metal from a closing strip or tableware with metallic edges;
    • recycled paper that contains small metal particles.
