Safety information

The built-in safety interlock switches prevent 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 exposure 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) hinges 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 an 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 accordance with ‘installation instructions’ found in this manual.

Use the appliance for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or defrost food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use neither for commercial use as this will invalidate the guarantee.

Do not operate the oven empty. If food or water is not present to absorb the microwave 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 newspapers 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.

Microwave oven is a Group 2 ISM equipment in which radio frequency energy is intentionally generated and used in the form of electromagnetic radiation for the treatment of material. This oven is a Class B equipment suitable for use in domestic establishments and in establishments directly connected to a low voltage power supply network which supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.

electrolux

safety information

The microwave oven shall not be placed in a cabinet unless it has been tested in a cabinet.

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: Only allow children or infirm persons to use the microwave, without supervision, when adequate instructions have been given so that the child or infirm person is able to use the microwave in a safe way and understand the hazards of improper use.

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 condensation 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.

Do not force the turntable to rotate by hand. This may cause malfunctioning.

Arcing in the oven during microwave operation usually occurs from use of metallic utensils. Continuous arcing,

however, can damage the unit. Stop the programme and check the utensil.

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.

Unpacking

When you unpack the oven, check that the product is free from damage. Damage or any missing parts must be reported immediately to the retailer.

The oven, parts of the oven or the accessories may be wrapped by a protection foil. If so, you must remove this foil before using the oven. Do not leave packing material so that small children can play with it. This can be hazardous.

Utensil safety

Most glass, glass ceramic and heat- resistant glassware utensils are excellent for use in the microwave oven. Although microwave energy will not heat most glass and ceramic items, these utensils can become hot as heat transfers from the food to th e container. The use of oven gloves to remove dishes is recommended.

safety information

Testing suitability of cookware

Utensils should be checked to ensure they are suitable for use in Microwave Ovens.

Place the cookware in the microwave along with a glass half full of water. Heat on full power for one minute. If the cookware feels hot, you should not use it. If it is just slightly warm, you can use it for reheating but not for cooking. If the dish is room temperature, it is suitable for microwave cooking.

Paper napkins, wax paper, paper towels, plates, cups, cartons, freezer wrap and cardboard are great convenience utensils. Always be sure containers are filled with food to absorb energy and thus avoid the possibility of overheating or ignition.

Many plastic dishes, cups, freezer containers and plastic wraps may be used in the microwave oven. Follow manufacturer’s instructions when using plastics in the oven. Avoid using plastic utensils with foods that have high fat or sugar content since these foods reach high temperatures and could melt some plastics.

Do not leave oven unattended, and look at it from time to time when heating or cooking food in plastic, paper or other combustible containers.

Metal utensils and utensils with metallic trim should not be used in the microwave oven, unless specifically recommended for microwave use.

Containers with restricted openings, such as bottles, should not be used for microwave cooking.

Use caution when removing a lid or cover from a dish to avoid steam burns.

Foil containers

Shallow foil containers may safely be used to reheat foods in your microwave oven providing the following rules are observed:

1. Foil containers should not be more than 3 cms (1 1/4”) deep.

2. Foil lids must not be used.

3. The foil containers must be at least two-thirds full of food. Empty containers must never be used.

4. Foil containers should be used singly in the microwave oven and should not be allowed to touch the sides. If your oven has a metal turntable or cooking rack, the foil container should be placed on an upturned ovenproof plate.

5. Foil containers should never be re-used in the microwave oven.

If the microwave oven has been in use for 15 minutes or more, allow it to cool before using it again.

The container and turntable may become hot during use; take great care when removing either from the oven. It is advisable to use an oven cloth or glove when doing so.

Remember when using an aluminium foil container that the reheating or cooking times may be longer than you are used to, always ensure that the food is piping hot before serving.

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 temperature cannot be controlled, hazardous situations can result.

Popcorn may be prepared in the microwave oven, but only in special packages or utensils designed specifically for this purpose. This cooking operation should never be unattended.

Pierce foods with non-porous skins or membranes to prevent steam build- up 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.

electrolux

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:

Avoid using straight-sided containers

with narrow necks.

Do not overheat.

Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the heating time.

After heating, allow standing in the oven for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the container.

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.

Defrosting Tips

It is better to underestimate defrosting time if you are unsure. Food will continue to defrost during the standing time.

Separate food as soon as possible. Turn large items, e.g. joints, halfway

through the defrosting time.

Remove any thawed food as soon as

possible.

Remove or open any packaging

before defrosting.

Place food in a larger container than that which it was frozen in, this will allow for easy stirring.

Begin thawing poultry, breast side down and turn over halfway through defrosting time or at pause. Delicate areas such as wing tips can be shielded with small pieces of smooth foil. Standing time is very important, particularly for large, dense foods which cannot be stirred to ensure that the centre is completely defrosted before cooking.

Hints and tips

Always keep the oven clean – avoid spillovers 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 casseroles. Certain plastic materials can melt and be warped by hot food.

Cover the food when cooking. Use a glass lid, a plate or greaseproof paper.

Pastry, bread and the like can be defrosted directly in a breadbasket or on a paper towel.

If frozen food is heated in it’s packaging, the packaging should be opened.

Packaging containing metal or metal decoration must not be used unless specifically recommended for use in the microwave. Remove 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 indicated in your recipe to avoid

electrolux

over cooking. The larger the amount of food the longer 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 complete and even cooking results.

Always ensure food is piping hot throughout before serving.

Use potholders or gloves when taking dishes and food from the oven.

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

power. 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 before squeezing.

Cooking Porridge

Porridge is easily cooked in the

serving dish with no sticky pan to

wash. Follow food manufacturers’

recommendations

care and cleaning

Care and cleaning

The oven must always be clean. Residue of food from spillovers or spatters will attract microwave energy causing it to burn on. This could reduce the efficiency of the oven and may cause bad odours.

Do not attempt to tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to any part of the oven.

Repairs should only be done by a qualified service technician.

Be sure the oven is off or the unit is unplugged before cleaning.

Cleaning the accessories (turntable, support and Grill rack)

Clean them with mild detergent after removing them for the cavity. Turntable support should be carefully handled.

The inside of the oven and turntable get very hot; so do not touch them immediately after use.

Cleaning the interior

Always keep the inside of the oven clean. Wipe up spillovers and food spatters immediately. Deposits that are allowed to remain on the oven walls, door seal and door surface will absorb microwave energy, reduce the efficiency of the oven, and possibly damage the oven interior. Use mild, liquid detergent, warm water and a s oft, clean cloth to remove deposits from the base of the oven. For the side of the oven use a soft damp cloth only, no liquids should be used near the venting holes.

Never use abrasive cleaners, commercial oven cleaners or steel wool pads on any part of the microwave oven.

To loosen difficult deposits, boil a cup of water in the microwave oven for 2 or 3 minutes.

Never use a knife or any utensil to remove deposits from the oven surfaces.

To remove odours from the oven interior, boil a cup of water plus 2 tablespoons of lemon juice for 5 minutes.

Cleaning the door seals

Wipe up spillovers and food spatters immediately. Deposits that are allowed to remain on the door seals will absorb microwave energy, reduce the efficiency of the oven, and possibly damage the oven interior. You can only use mild, liquid detergent, warm water and a soft, clean cloth to remove deposits from the door seals.

technical data

Cleaning the exterior

Open the oven door when cleaning the control panel. This will prevent the oven from being turned on accidentally. You should clean outside surfaces of the oven with mild liquid detergent and water followed by a wiping with clear water to remove any excess detergent. Dry with a soft cloth.

Spray-on window cleaners or all- purpose spray-on kitchen cleaners can also be used. Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads or harsh chemicals on outside surfaces of your oven. To prevent damage to the working parts, do not allow water to seep into ventilation openings.

installation

Installation

1. Remove any promotion label from

the door.

2. The oven should be installed on a

flat, level surface. The surface must be strong enough to safely bear the weight (12 kg) of the oven, and the contents. To avoid the possibility of causing vibration or noise the oven must be in a stable position.

3. Keep the oven away from heat and

water. Exposure to heat and water can lower oven efficiency and lead to malfunctioning, so be sure to install the oven away from heat and water sources.

4. Do not block air vents on the top

and the sides of the cabinet and also do not place any articles on the top of the oven. If air vents are blocked during operation, the oven may overheat, and this may lead to malfunctioning. Hot air escapes from the vents so be sure not to obstruct it or let curtains come between the oven and the rear wall.

5. Place the oven as far away from

radios and TV’s as possible. This oven does conform to EEC requirements of radio interference suppression, but some interference may occur if it is placed too close to a radio or TV, so keep them as far apart as possible.

6. If positioned in a corner, leave a

gap of at least 15cm from the walls and 15cm above the microwave.

The oven can be placed almost anywhere in the kitchen. Make sure the oven is placed on a flat, level surface and that vents as well as the surface underneath the oven are not blocked (for sufficient ventilation).

Connecting to the mains

The oven is delivered with the power cord and a plug for 230V, 50Hz, earthed socket outlet.

Earth protection minimises the risks should a short circuit occur. Check to ensure the voltage of the oven matches the supply.

If the oven is connected to the socket via an extension cord, make sure the cord is earthed.

This appliance must not be used on a non-earth protected power supply.

Contact an electrician if you are uncertain regarding electrical connection of the oven or provision of earth protection of the supply.

This appliance must be earthed. If this appliance is fitted with a non- rewireable plug for which your socket is unsuitable, the plug should be cut off and the appropriate plug fitted. If it is necessary to change the fuse in a non-rewireable plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained.

Consignes de sécurité



Installer le four sur une surface plane, suffisamment solide que pour supporter le poids du four à micro-ondes (15.5 kg) et son contenu. Le four doit être dans une position stable afin d'éviter vibrations et bruit .



Ne pas obturer les ouïes de ventilation situées sur le dessus et les côtés du four. Ne rien placer non plus sur le four. Si la ventilation est mal assurée pendant le fonctionnement du four, celui-ci peut surchauffer, ce qui peut conduire à des problèmes de fonctionnement. De l'air chaud s'échappe de ces ouïes de ventilation : veiller donc à ne pas les obstruer et à laisser suffisamment d'espace entre le mur et le four.

•

Les interrupteurs de verrouillage de sécurité incorporés empêchent le four à micro-ondes de fonctionner lorsque la porte est ouverte.

•

Ne pas les toucher ou tenter de faire fonctionner le four avec la porte ouverte, car un fonctionne- ment avec la porte ouverte exposerait l'environnement à l'énergie des micro-ondes.

•

Ne pas laisser s'accumuler les aliments répandus ou les résidus de nettoyants sur les surfaces d'étanchéité de la porte.

•

Il est particulièrement important que la porte du four ferme parfaitement et qu'il n'y ait pas de dommages sur : (1) la porte, (2) les charnières (cassées ou peu sûres), (3) les joints de porte et la surface d'étanchéité.

Si la porte, les charnières ou les joints de porte étaient endommagés, l'appareil ne devra pas être utilisé jusqu'à ce qu'il ait été réparé par un technicien de maintenance autorisé.

Mise en garde : il est dangereux pour quiconque autre qu’une personne formée, d’effectuer une opération de maintenance ou une réparation qui nécessite le retrait d’un couvercle protégeant contre l’exposition à l’énergie des micro-ondes. Seul du personnel de maintenance formé à l'usine est autorisé à effectuer la maintenance ou des réglages sur ce four. Contacter le Centre de Service Après vente Zanker local si une maintenance était nécessaire.

•

N’intervenez pas dans les orifices de la serrure en face avant; vous pourriez créer des dommages sur votre appareil qui nécessiteraient une intervention.

•

Installer ou positionner ce four uniquement selon les instructions d'installation contenues dans cette notice.

Consignes de sécurité

Mise en garde : Ne laissez les enfants utiliser l’appareil sans surveillance que si des instructions appropriées ont été données afin que l’enfant puisse utiliser le four de façon sûre et comprenne les dangers d’une utilisation incorrecte.

L'aptitude de la vaisselle

•

Avant toute utilisation, assurez- vous que les réci-pients et accessoires soient appropriés à l’usage de votre four à micro- ondes. La plupart des ustensiles en verre, en vitrocéramique et la verrerie allant au four conviennent parfaitement à une utilisation dans le four à micro-ondes. Bien que l'énergie des micro-ondes ne chauffe pas la plupart des objets en verre et en céramique, ces ustensiles peuvent devenir chauds, car la chaleur se transmet des aliments au récipient. Utiliser des maniques pour retirer les plats.

•

Placer les plats dans le four à micro-ondes avec un demi-verre d'eau. Chauffer à 700 W (100%) pendant une minute. Si les plats deviennent chauds, il vaut mieux ne pas les utiliser. S'ils sont juste tièdes, ils peuvent être utilisés pour réchauffer, mais pas pour cuire. Si le plat est à température ambiante, il convient à la cuisson au four à micro-ondes.

•

Les serviettes en papier, le papier sulfurisé, l'essuie-tout, les assiettes, les tasses, les car-tons, les emballages "spécial congélation" et le carton sont des ustensiles d'une grande com- modité. Toujours s'assurer que les récipients contiennent des aliments pour absorber l'énergie et ainsi éviter une éventuelle surchauffe.

•

De nombreux plats, tasses, boîtes de congéla-tion et emballages en plastique peuvent être utilisés dans le four à micro-ondes. Respecter les instructions du fabricant en utilisant du plastique dans le four. Eviter d'utiliser du plastique avec des aliments ayant une forte teneur en matières grasses ou en sucre, car ceux-ci atteignent des températures élevées et pourraient faire fondre certains plastiques.

•

Ne jamais laisser le four sans surveillance lorsque des aliments sont réchauffés ou cuits dans des récipients en plastique, en papier ou en d'autres matières combustibles.

•

Les récipients métalliques et les récipients ayant un décor métallique ne doivent pas être utilisés dans le four à micro-ondes, à moins qu'ils ne soient particulièrement recommandés pour une utilisation en micro- ondes.

electrolux

•

Il est recommandé de couvrir les aliments dans la plupart des cas; ils seront plus savoureux et votre appareil restera propre. Cependant, avant de cuire des aliments ou de réchauffer des liquides dans une bouteille ou un récipient hermétique, vous devez retirer le bouchon ou le couvercle.

•

Faire très attention en retirant les couvercles ou les couvertures des plats, pour éviter les brûlures dues à la vapeur.

Récipients en aluminium

Les barquettes en aluminium peuvent être utilisés en toute sécurité pour réchauffer des aliments dans le four à micro-ondes, à condition de respecter les règles suivantes :

1. Les barquettes en aluminium ne doivent pas dépasser 4 cm de profondeur.

2. Ne pas utiliser de couvercles en film d'aluminium.

3. Les barquettes en aluminium doivent être remplis d'aliments au moins aux deux tiers. Ne jamais uti-liser de récipients vides.

4. Les barquettes en aluminium doivent être utilisés seuls dans le four à micro-ondes et ne doivent pas être à moins d’un cm des parois métalliques ou de la porte de l’appareil. La barquette en aluminium devra être placée sur un plat retourné allant au four.

5. Les barquettes en aluminium ne doivent jamais être réutilisées dans le four à micro-ondes.

Consignes de sécurité

electrolux

Consignes de sécurité

6. Si le four à micro-ondes a été utilisé pendant 15 minutes ou plus, le laisser refroidir avant de le réutiliser.

7. Le récipient et le plateau tournant peuvent devenir très chauds pendant leur utilisation : être très prudent en retirant l'un ou l'autre du four. Il est conseillé d'utiliser une manique ou un gant de cuisine pour cela.

8. Penser à ce que les durées de réchauffage ou de cuisson peuvent être prolongées avec un récipient en film d'aluminium. Toujours s'assurer que les aliments sont tout chauds avant de servir.

Sécurité alimentaire

•

Ne jamais réchauffer des aliments en boîte dans le four à micro- ondes. Toujours verser les aliments dans un récipient adapté.

•

Dans le cas de petites quantités (une saucisse, un croissant, etc.) posez un verre d’eau à côté de l’aliment.

•

Ne pas utiliser l'appareil pour faire de la friture, car la température de l'huile ne peut pas être contrôlée et il pourrait en résulter des situa- tions dangereuses.

•

Des temps trop longs peuvent dessécher l’aliment et le carboniser. Pour éviter de tels incidents n’uti-lisez jamais les mêmes tremps préconisés pour une cuisson au four traditionnel.

•

Il est possible de préparer du pop- corn dans le four à micro-ondes, toutefois, seulement dans des emballages ou ustensiles spéciaux, conçus spécialement à cet effet. Ne jamais laisser cette opération sans surveillance.

•

Piquer les aliments ayant une peau ou membrane non poreuse, pour éviter l'accumulation de vapeur et l'éclatement. Les pommes, les pommes de terre, les foies de volaille et les jaunes d'oeuf sont quelques exemples d'aliments qui doivent être piqués.

Pour les enfants, il est impératif : - de réchauffer les biberons sans la tétine, d’agiter le liquide et de tester sa température sur le dos de la main avant absorption par l’enfant. - de mélanger et de vérifier la température des aliments pour enfants avant consommation, afin d’éviter des brûlures internes graves.

Lors du réchauffement de liquides, p. ex. soupes, sauces et boissons, il est possible de sur-chauffer le liquide au-delà du point d'ébullition sans bouillonnement visible. Cela peut résulter dans un soudain débordement du liquide chaud. Afin d'éviter cette situation, prendre les précautions suivantes

1. Ne pas utiliser de récipients à parois verticales et goulot étroit.

2. Ne pas surchauffer.

3. Mélanger le liquide avant de placer le récipient dans le four et recommencer à mi-réchauffage.

4. Dans le cas de liquides en ébullition, afin d’éviter un débordement, attendez 20 secondes avant d’y introduire un élément quelconque et de le sortir de l’appareil.

Le réchauffage ou la cuisson des oeufs dans leur coquille, en cocotte ou à plat, est à pro- scrire. Ceuxci peuvent éclater et risquent de provoquer des brûlures graves ou la dégrada- tion irrémédiable de votre four.
