Important safety instructions: Read carefully & keep for future reference

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 minimun 10 A distribution circuit breaker.

It is recommended that a seperate

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

16.

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 this operation manual.

To avoid the possibility of injury

Warning: Do not operate the oven if it is damaged or malfunctioning. Check the following before use: a) The door; make sure the door

closes properly and ensure it is

not misaligned or warped. b) The hinges and door safety

latches; check to make sure they

are not broken or loose. c) The door seals and sealing

surfaces; ensure that they have

not been damaged. d) Inside the oven cavity or on the

door; make sure there are no

dents. e) The power supply cord and plug;

ensure that they are not

damaged.

EX-22F-EU English 19/9/06 10:17 Page 5

electrolux safety information

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.

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.

Never adjust, repair or modify the oven yourself. It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

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”, page 33. 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.

EX-22F-EU English 19/9/06 10:17 Page 6

electrolux safety information

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.

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 selfheating material, always place a heatresistant 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 dish’s 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.

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 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.

Microwave cooking advice

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 ‘Suitable Cookware’ on page 16).

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 16.

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.

EX-22F-EU English 19/9/06 10:17 Page 13

electrolux operation

Food characteristics

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.

Density Food density will affect the amount of cooking time needed. Light porous

foods, such as cakes or bread, 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. Four potatoes will take longer to cook than two.

Size Small foods and small pieces cook faster than large ones, as microwaves can

penetrate from all sides to 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 the thicker 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. of food Chilled foods will take longer to cook than food at room temperature. Cut into

foods with fillings, for example jam doughnuts, to release heat or steam.

Cooking techniques

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.

Note: Eggs should not be heated using microwave power as they may

explode, even after cooking has ended. e.g. poached, fried, hard boiled.

Stir, turn & For even cooking it is essential to stir, turn and rearrange food during cooking. rearrange 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 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.

Browning agents

After more than 15 minutes cooking time food acquires a brownness, although this is not comparable to the deep brownness and crispness obtained through conventional cooking. In order to obtain an appetising brown colour you can use browning agents. For the most part they simultaneously act as seasoning agents. In the following table you will find some suggestions for substances you might use for browning and some of the uses to which you might put them.

Browning agent Dish Method

Power Suggested use setting

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 (Defrost setting) 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.

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:

Recipes

All the recipes in this book are calculated on the basis of 4 servings unless otherwise stated.

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