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 the instructions for “Care & Cleaning” on page

23. 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 an authorised ELECTROLUX service agent. 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 10 A distribution line fuse, or a minimum 10 A distribution circuit breaker. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided. 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 Page 10. 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 the operation manual and the cookery book section.ENGLISH

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:

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. 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 it 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 to prevent them burning themselves. 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 understands the hazards of improper use. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. 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. 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 dishes 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: (a) Before cleaning the turntable with water, leave the turntable to cool. (b) Do not put hot foods or hot utensils on a cold turntable. (c) Do not put cold foods or cold utensils on a hot turntable. Do not place anything on the outer cabinet during operation.

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 ‘Microwave safe cookware’ on page 10.) 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 page

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. Composition Foods high in fat or sugar (e.g. Christmas pudding, mince pies) require less heating time. Care shouldbe taken as overheating can lead to fire.Density Food density will affect the amount of cooking time needed. Light porous foods, such as cakes orbread, 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. Fourpotatoes will take longer to cook than two.Size Small foods and small pieces cook faster than large ones, as microwaves can penetrate from all sidesto 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 thethicker 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. Chilled foods will take of food longer to cook than food at room temperature. Cut into foods with fillings, e.g. jam doughnuts, to release heat or steam. FOOD CHARACTERISTICS 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 aftercooking has ended, e.g. poached, fried, hard boiled. Stir, turn and For even cooking it is essential to stir, turn and rearrange food during cooking. Always stir and rearrange 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. COOKING TECHNIQUES10

USING A FOOD THERMOMETER TO DETERMINE COOKING TIME Once cooked, every drink and every foodstuff has a certain internal temperature at which the cooking process can be switched off and the food will be cooked. The internal temperature can be ascertained with a food thermometer. The most important temperatures are specified in the temperature table. Heating drinks (Coffee, Water, Tea, etc.) 65-75

Drink / Food Internal temp. at the end of Internal temp. after 10 - 15 min cooking time standing Aluminium foil / / Small pieces of aluminium foil can be used to shield food from overheating. Keep foil at foil containers least 2 cm from the oven walls, as arcing may occur. Foil containers are not recommended unless specified by the manufacturer, e.g. Microfoil ®, follow instructions carefully. Browning dishes Always follow the manufacturers instructions. Do not exceed heating times given. Be very careful as these dishes become very hot. China and ceramics / Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware and bone china are usually suitable, except for those with metallic decoration. Glassware e.g. Pyrex ® Care should be taken if using fine glassware as it can break or crack if heated suddenly. Metal It is not recommended to use metal cookware when using microwave power as it will arc, which can lead to fire. Plastic / polystyrene Care must be taken as some containers warp, melt or discolour at high temperatures. e.g. fast food containers Cling film Should not touch the food and must be pierced to let the steam escape. Freezer / roasting bags Must be pierced to let steam escape. Ensure bags are suitable for microwave use. Do not use plastic or metal ties, as they may melt or catch fire due to the metal arcing. Paper - plates, cups Only use for warming or to absorb moisture. Care must be taken as overheating may and kitchen paper cause fire. Straw and wooden Always attend the oven when using these materials as overheating may cause fire. containers Recycled paper May contain extracts of metal which will cause ‘arcing’ and may lead to fire. and newspaper Cookware Microwave Comments safeENGLISH

Your oven has 5 power levels. To choose the power level for cooking, follow the advice given in the recipe section. Generally the following recommendations apply: 800 W used for fast cooking or reheating e.g. soup, casseroles, canned food, hot beverages, vegetables, fish, etc. 560 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. 400 W for dense foods which require a long cooking time when cooked conventionally, eg. beef dishes, it is advisable to use this power setting to ensure the meat will be tender. 240 W 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. 80 W For gentle defrosting, eg. cream gateaux or pastry.

ADAPTING RECIPES FOR THE MICROWAVE

OVEN If you would like to adapt your favourite recipes for the microwave, you should take note of the following: Shorten cooking times by a third to a half. Follow the example of the recipes in this book. Foods which have a high moisture content such as meat, fish, poultry, vegetables, fruit, stews and soups can be prepared in your microwave without any difficulty. Foods which have little moisture, such as platters of food, should have the surface moistened prior to heating or cooking. The amount of liquid to be added to raw foods, which are to be braised, should be reduced to about two thirds of the quantity in the original recipe. If necessary, add more liquid during cooking. The amount of fat to be added can be reduced considerably. A small amount of butter, margarine or oil is sufficient to flavour food.
