Do not leave the oven unattended when using disposable
plastic, paper or other combustible food containers.
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.
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.
Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed
eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when
handling the container.

1.1 Care and cleaning
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.

ENGLISH
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. Heat
up your oven regularly by using the grill. Remaining food
or fat splashed can cause smoke or a bad smell.
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.
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.
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.
Rack:
This should be washed in a mild washing up liquid
solution and dried. The rack is dishwasher safe.
IMPORTANT!
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.
Care should be taken not to displace the turntable
when removing containers from the appliance.
IMPORTANT!
A steam cleaner should not be used.
The microwave oven is intended to be used built-in.
The appliance and its accessible parts become hot during
use. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating
elements.
WARNING!
Keep children away from the door and accessible
parts that may become hot when the grill is in use.
Children should be kept away to prevent them
burning themselves.
IMPORTANT!

7. HINTS AND TIPS
7.1 Microwave safe cookware
Cookware
Microwave
safe
Comments
Aluminium foil/
containers
3 / 7
Small pieces of aluminium foil can be used to shield food
from overheating. Keep foil at least 2 cm from the oven
walls, as arcing may occur. Foil containers are not
recommended unless specified by the manufacturer.
Follow instructions carefully.
China and ceramics
3 / 7
Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware and bone china are
usually suitable, except for those with metallic decoration.
Glassware
e.g. Pyrex ®
3
Care should be taken if using fine glassware as it can
break or crack if heated suddenly.
Metal
7
It is not recommended to use metal cookware when using
microwave power as it will arc, which can lead to fire.
Plastic/polystyrene
e.g. fast food
containers
3
Care must be taken as some containers warp, melt or
discolour at high temperatures.
Freezer/roasting
bags
3
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
and kitchen paper
3
Only use for warming or to absorb moisture. Care must be
taken as overheating may cause fire.
Straw and wooden
containers
3
Always attend the oven when using these materials as
overheating may cause fire.
Recycled paper and
newspaper
7
May contain extracts of metal which will cause arcing and
may lead to fire.

ENGLISH
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).
7.2 Microwave cooking advice
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.
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.

8. TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Check if . . .
The microwave appliance
is not working
properly?
• The fuses in the fuse box are working.
• There has not been a power outage.
• If the fuses continue to blow, please contact a qualified electrician.
The microwave mode is
not working?
• The door is properly closed.
• The door seals and their surfaces are clean.
• The START key has been pressed.
The turntable is not
turning?
• The turntable support is correctly connected to the drive.
• The ovenware does not extend beyond the turntable.
• Food does not extend beyond the edge of the turntable preventing
it from rotating.
• There is nothing in the well beneath the turntable.
The microwave will not
switch off?
• Isolate the appliance from the fuse box.
• Call an authorised ELECTROLUX service agent.
The interior light is not
working?
• Call your authorised ELECTROLUX service agent. The interior
light can be exchanged only by a trained authorised
ELECTROLUX service agent.
The food is taking longer
to heat through and cook
than before?
• Set a longer cooking time (double quantity = nearly double time) or
• If the food is colder than usual, rotate or turn from time to time or
• Set a higher power setting.
The door will not open
due to power cut?
• Open the door carefully by pulling outward at the bottom right hand
corner of the door glass.
