Congratulations on the purchase
of your new microwave oven
Thank you for having chosen an Electrolux product.
We are convinced that you will find your new microwave oven
very useful and that it will be of great help to you.
As with all new kitchen appliances, it will take some time
to learn all the new functions and features,
but with time, this oven will become indispensable to you.
In order that you can get the best from your new Electrolux
microwave oven, the following instructions have been prepared.
Please make sure you read them carefully. It is important
that this instruction book is retained with the appliance
for future reference. Should the appliance be sold or transferred
to another owner, or if you move house and leave the appliance,
always ensure that the book is supplied with the appliance.
Microwave cooking provides true innovation for the culinary arts. Combining rapidity and ease of use, it enhances flavours
and aromas all the while keeping the
appearance and nutritive qualities intact.
Your microwave oven will complement
your other kitchen appliances. It cooks,
reheats and defrosts quick as a wink,
affording you considerable time and energy
savings.
The microwaves used for cooking are
electromagnetic waves. They exist in our
environment as do radioelectric waves,
light, and infrared rays.They are reflected
by metals.They pass through all other
materials. They are absorbed by water,
sugar and fat molecules.
When food is exposed to microwaves
there follows a vibration of the molecules,
which in turn produces heat.
The depth of penetration of the waves into
food is about 2.5 cm. If the food is thicker
the centre is cooked by normal conduction
of heat.
It is worth noting that the microwaves produce a simple heat reaction inside food
and are not at all harmful to your health.
Due to the nature of microwave cooking,
foods rich in water, sugar or fat require
less cooktime and yield the best results.

other than qualified personnel to make
any repairs requiring removal of the
cover providing protection from exposure to microwave energy. In the case
of any defect or breakdown, please
therefore contact your local ELECTROLUX approved retailer or the
ELECTROLUX Service Force Centre.
• WARNING: Should the door seals and
/ or door seal surfaces be damaged,
the appliance should not be operated
until it has been repaired by the ELECTROLUX Service Force Centre.
• Damaged appliance parts can only be
replaced by exactly the same make of
parts. Special tools are required for this
operation.
• Never tamper with the lock mechanism
of your microwave oven; you could
cause damage requiring repair by an
authorised technician.
• WARNING: This appliance is designed
to be operated by adults. Do not allow
children to use the microwave oven
without supervision unless they have
been thoroughly instructed in the proper use and the dangers of improper
operation.
• In order to evacuate moisture, your
applaince is fitted with a delayed ventilation function. Depending on the

Utensil & food safety
• During delayed boiling, the boiling tem-
perature is attained without the typical
steam bubbles rising. When the container is shaken, even gently, the liquid
may then suddenly vigorously boil over
or spurt - with the risk of scalding the
user. To prevent liquids from boiling
over and possible burns, whenever heating liquid, please place a teaspoon in
the container and wait 20 seconds before removing the containers from the
appliance or adding anything to the
liquid, to avoid sudden spurting of the
liquid.
• WARNING : Be sure to remove the cap
or lid before cooking foods or heating
liquids in a sealed bottle or container,
which could otherwise explode.
• Make sure that a minimum temperature
of 70°C is attained for the cooking /
heating of food. Never use a mercury or
liquid thermometer for measuring the
temperature of the food.
• Baby food in jars or bottles should
always be heated without a lid or top,
and well stirred or shaken after heating,
to ensure uniform distribution of the
heat. Always check the temperature
before feeding to your child in order
to avoid scalding.
• The hot food in a microwave oven will
heat up the ovenware. For this reason
always use oven gloves for handling
hot dishes.
• Never cook your food for too long or at
too high a power setting. Some areas of
the food can dry out or even ignite.
• To protect the appliance against corrosion from moisture (condensation) in
the cavity or on the door, wipe these
areas dry after each use.
• Do not use porcelain or ceramic crockery, or porous earthenware (e.g. on the
handles or unglazed bases) in your
microwave as these types of dishes can
absorb moisture from the food as it is
cooking. This can cause vapour pressure to build up which could shatter the
dish.
• Food with «skin» or «peel», such as
potatoes, tomatoes, sausages, and the
like, should be pierced with a fork so
that any steam present can escape and
the food will not burst.
Do not use your microwave oven for
the following :
• The heating or cooking of boiled, coddled
eggs or fried eggs by microwave is prohibited. They can burst and cause
serious burns or irreparable damage to
your oven.
• to heat large quantities of cooking oil
(fondue or deep frying) and drinks
containing a high percentage of alcohol
- there is danger of spontaneous
combustion!
• to heat unopened cans, bottles, etc.
• to dry animals, textiles or paper.

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
casserole dishes. 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 par ts that easily
overcook 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 into even-sized pieces.
Always place the food in the centre of
the oven.
• The food will be more evenly cooked if
you stir or turn it regularly.
• Always set a shorter cooking time
than indicated in your recipe to avoid
overcooking. The larger the amount of
food the longer it takes.
• Use little or no water for vegetables.
• Use less salt and spices than with tradi-
tional cooking methods.
• Season at the end of the programme.
• 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 gloves when taking dishes and
food from the oven.

Do not attempt to tamper with or make
any adjustments or repairs to any part of
the oven. Repairs should only be made by
an authorised service engineer.
Be sure the oven is off or the unit
is unplugged before cleaning.
Do not clean your microwave oven with a
vapor cleaner.
The oven must always be clean. Failure to
clean the appliance regularly may damage
its surfaces, reduce durability and lead to
hazardous operation. Residue of food
from spill-overs or spatters that is allowed
to remain on the oven walls, door seal
and door surface will absorb microwave
energy causing it to burn on. This could
reduce the efficiency of the oven, and
possibly damage the oven interior.
(turnable and support)
Clean them with mild detergent after
removing them from the cavity. The turntable support should be carefully handled.
The inside of the oven and turnta-
ble get very hot, so do not touch
them immediately after use.
Use mild, liquid detergent, warm water
and a soft, clean cloth to remove soilage.
NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS,
COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS OR
STEEL WOOL PADS ON ANY PART OF
THE MICROWAVE OVEN.
To loosen difficult soilage, boil a cup of
water in the microwave oven for 2 or 3
minutes. NEVER USE A KNIFE OR ANY
UTENSIL TO REMOVE SOILAGE FROM
OVEN SURFACES.
To remove odours from the oven interior,
boil a cup of water plus 2 tablespoons of
lemon juice for 5 minutes.
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. Pay special attention to the
door seal and front of the cavity which
must be kept clean at all times. If these
surfaces are damaged because of excessive soiling, call in a specialised technician before using your microwave oven.
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.
