Safety instructions.
• 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. m If the door, hinges/latches or door seals are damaged, the microwave must not be
operated until it has been repaired by a authorized service person.
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.
If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed
in order to stifle any flames. Never use water.
Only allow children to use the microwave, without supervision, when adequate
instructions have been given so that the child is able to use the microwave in a
safe way and understand the hazards of improper use.
Utensil safety
• Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-resistant glass-ware utensils are excellent for use in the
micro-wave oven. Although microwave energy will not heat most glass and ceramic items,
these utensils can become hot as heat transfers from the food to the container. The use of
oven gloves to remove dishes is recommended.

AEG-ELECTROLUX Micromat_Combi
Testing suitability of cookware
• Place the cookware in the microwave along with a glass half full of water. Heat on Hi
W(900W) (100%) 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.
• 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. If smoke is observed, keep door closed,
switch the oven off or disconnect oven until smoke stops.
• 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:
• Foil containers should not be more than 3 cms (1 1/4”) deep.
• Foil lids must not be used.
• The foil containers must be at least two-thirds full of food. Empty containers must never be
used.
• 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 oven-proof plate.
• 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. 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:
1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
2. Do not overheat.
3. Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the
heating time.
4. After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stirring again before carefully
removing the container. 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.
Keep these instructions!

Safety instructions when cooking with grill, Convection
or combination modes.
1. The glass viewing window may break if water is spilled on it during grilling or convection
cooking.
2. Be sure to use an oven glove when loading and unloading the oven. Containers get very hot
in the oven, so be careful not to burn yourself. The turn-table and metal rack also get very
hot so be sure to use an oven glove when handling them.
3. Do not touch the inner or outer viewing window with metal components when loading or
unloading the oven. The inside of the door and oven get very hot so take care when
attending food in the oven.
4. Do not put the turntable or containers in cold water or try to cool them quickly after use.
5. Do not place items on top of the cabinet. The top of the cabinet gets very hot, so anything
placed on it may be damaged by the heat.
6. Preheat your oven only when using the Grill or Convection modes, never when using
microwave or combination modes (Microwave + Grill or Microwave + Convection)
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.
Unpacking
8
• 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.
Do not use this oven for commercial purposes. This oven is made for domestic use only.
N.B. 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.

MCC247
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 (18 kg) of the oven, plus 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 5 cm from the walls and 5 cm above the
microwave.
MPORTANT! 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 230–240 V, 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.
N.B. 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 nonrewireable 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.

Defrosting Tips
1. It is better to underestimate defrosting time if you are unsure. Food will continue to defrost
during the standing time.
2. Separate food as soon as possible.
3. Turn large items, e.g. joints, halfway through the defrosting time, or at pause.
4. Remove any thawed food as soon as possible.
5. Remove or open any packaging before defrosting.
6. Place food in a larger container than that which it was frozen in, this will allow for easy
stirring.
7. 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.
8. Standing time is very important, particularly for large, dense foods which cannot be stirred to
ensure that the centre is completely defrosted before cooking.
Microwave Hints
• Always keep the oven clean – avoid spill-overs 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 grease proof paper.
• Pastry, bread and the like can be defrosted directly in a bread basket or on a paper towel.
• If frozen food is heated in its 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 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 pot holders or gloves when taking dishes and food from the oven.

Slow Cooking Tips
1. Suitable foods for Slow Cooking are :Liquid dishes e.g. casseroles and stews containing cubed
meat or chicken joint pieces, soups, rice puddings. Root vegetables are particularly useful for
slow cooking - cut into even sized pieces, the larger the size of vegetable the longer cooking
time they will require.
2. Most casseroles or soups should be cooked using two stage Slow Cooking- generally you
should cook on Slow Cook High for the first 25 - 40, then simmer gently on Slow Cook Low
for several hours.
3. A minimum of five hours is usually require to cook food thoroughly using Slow Cook., you
may stir your food during cooking if you wish but this is not essential.
4. Always ensure that your dish is covered with a close fitting lid to ensure that your food does
not dry out. Always ensure that the dish is recovered after stirring.
5. Use sufficient liquid. Liquid may contain water, stock, wine, fruit juice, beer or cider. All
ingredients should be immersed in the liquid to help obtain the best results and to avoid
drying out.
6. Always ensure that your bowl is large enough to accommodate your ingredients.
7. Combine any thickening agents, such as flour, with your meat prior to cooking.
8. If adding Cream or milk always do so at the end of cooking.
9. Always stir you dish well after cooking.
Advantages of cooking Soups/Casseroles using Slow Cook
• You can start the cooking process early in the day, then go off to do other things and return
to a cooked meal.
It is not essential to stir your food due to the gentle heating involved (You may stir your food
•
if you wish). Due to the long, slow cooking process, tough meat is tenderised and flavour
have time to fully develop.
• Convenience and flexibility - meals are ready when you are - once food is thoroughly cooked
and piping hot it can be kept warm using Slow Cook Low.

Care and cleaning
The oven must always be clean. Residue of food from spill-overs 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 spill-overs 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 soft, 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 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 spill-overs 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.
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.

What to do if……………………….
If the appliance does not work please carry out the following checks before contacting your
local service centre.
If the oven does not come on:
• Check the appliance is connected correctly.
• Check that the oven is plugged in properly.
• Replace the fuse in the plug, if required, with another of the same rating and check that
the plug has been wired correctly.
• Check that the socket switch and/or the switch from the mains supply to the oven are
ON.
• Check that the socket is receiving power, by plugging in an appliance you know to be
working.
• Check that the fuse in the fuse box is intact.
If the microwave does not function:
42
• The child safety lock may have been set.
• Check the controls are set correctly.
• Check settings/procedures against the booklet
• Check the door closes properly (if food particles or other objects have become stuck
inside the door, it will not close properly and microwave cooking will not take place).
• Check the start pad has been depressed.
• If the grill function has been used, the oven may not have cooled sufficiently.
• If the Micro bake function has been used, the oven may not have cooled sufficiently.
