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.
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.
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.
Donot store food or any other items
inside the oven.
Checkthesettingsafteryou start theoven
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.
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.

Donot operate theovenwith thedooropen
oralter the door safety latches inany way.
Do not operate the oven ifthere 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 instructions for “Care &
cleaning”. 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
ofthe pacemaker for precautionsregarding
microwave ovens.
To avoid the possibility of electric
shock
Under no circumstancesshould you
remove the outer cabinet.
Never spill or insert any objects intothe
door lock openings or ventilationopenings.
In the event of a spill, turn off and unplugthe
ovenimmediately and call an authorised
ELECTROLUX serviceagent.
Do not immerse the powersupply cord
orplug in water or any other liquid. Do not
allow the power supply cord torun over any
hot or sharp surfaces, such as thehot air
vent area at the top rear ofthe oven.
Do not attempt to replace the oven
lamp yourself orallow anyone who is not

ovenlamp fails, please consult your dealer
orcall an authorised ELECTROLUX service
agent.
If the power supply cord of this
appliance is damaged, itmust be replaced
with a special cord. Theexchange must be

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 containerto 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 ofboiling
liquid and possible scalding:
1. Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.
2. It is advisable to inserta glass rod or
similar utensil into theliquid whilst
reheating.
3. Let liquid stand for at least20 seconds
inthe oven at the endof cooking time to
prevent delayed eruptive boiling.
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
Usepotholders oroven gloves when
removing foodfrom the oventopreventburns.

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.

Aluminium foil/ / Small pieces of aluminium foil can be used to shield food from
foil containersoverheating. Keep foil at least 2 cm from the oven walls, as
arcing may occur. Foil containers are not recommended
unless specified by the manufacturer, e.g. Microfoil ®, follow
instructions carefully.
Browning Always follow the manufacturers instructions. Do not exceed
dishes heating times given. Be very careful as these dishes become
very hot.
China and ceramics / Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware and bone china are

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.
