Microwave cooking advice

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.

It is important to turn, rearrange or stir

food to ensure even heating.

Standing time is necessary after
cooking, as it enables the heat to disperse
equally throughout the food.

Round/oval dishes are preferable to
square/oblong ones, as the food in the
corners tends to overcook.

Food characteristics

Composition Foods high in fat or sugar(e.g.Christmaspudding, mince pies) requireless heating

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.

Onion soup

Utensils: Bowl with lid (2 l capacity)

4 soup bowls (200 ml)
Ingredients
10 g butter or margarine
100 g onions, sliced
800 ml meat stock

salt and pepper
2 slices bread
40 g grated cheese

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. For this reason your
microwave is excellent for preparing low-fat
foods as part of a diet.

1. Grease the bowl, add the sliced

onion, meat stock and the seasoning.

Cover and cook.

9-11 min. 900 W

2. Toast the slices of bread, cut them

into cubes and divide them among

the soup bowls. Pour the soup over

the toast cubes and sprinkle on the

cheese.

3. Place the bowls on the turntable, and

grill.

6-7 min. Grill

Care & cleaning

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

easily cleaned with mild soap and water.

Make sure that 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
deactivate the control panel. Care should
be taken in 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.

electrolux care & cleaning

Oven interior

1. For cleaning, wipe any spatters or spills
with a soft damp cloth or sponge after
each use while the oven is still warm.
For heavier spills, use mild soap and
wipe several times with a damp cloth
until all residues are removed.

2. Make sure that mild soap or water do
not penetrate the small vents in the
walls which may cause damage to the
oven.

3. Do not use spray type cleaners on the
oven interior.

4. Heat up your oven regularly by using
the grill. Remaining food or fat splashed
can cause smoke or a bad smell.

Turntable & 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 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.

Racks

These should be washed in a mild
washing up liquid solution and dried. The
rack is dishwasher safe.

Important:

A steam cleaner should not be used.
