6 Important safety instructions

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 self-heating material, always place a heat-resistant
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.
Only use the turntable and the turntable support designed for this oven. Do not operate the
oven without the turntable.
To prevent the turntable from breaking:
a) Before cleaning the turntable with water, leave the turntable to cool.
b) Do not put hot foods or hot utensils on a cold turntable.
c) Do not put cold foods or cold utensils on a hot turntable.
Do not place anything on the outer cabinet during operation.

IImmppoorrttaanntt::
If you are unsure how to connect your oven, please consult an authorised, qualified
electrician.
Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven or
personal injury resulting from failure to observe the correct electrical connection procedure.
Water vapour or drops may occasionally form on the oven walls or around the door seals
and sealing surfaces. This is a normal occurrence and is not an indication of microwave
leakage or a malfunction.

Microwave cooking advice

Microwave cooking

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.
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.

Food characteristics

Composition Foods high in fat or sugar (e.g. Christmas pudding, mince pies) require less heating time. Care

Density Food density will affect the amount of cooking time needed. Light porous foods, such as

Quantity The cooking time must be increased as the amount of food placed in the oven increases.

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

Shape Foods which are irregular in shape, such as chicken breasts or drumsticks, take longer to cook

Temperature The initial temperature of food affects the amount of cooking time needed. Chilled foods will
of food take longer to cook than food at room temperature. Cut into foods with fillings, e.g. jam

11Microwave cooking advice

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

Stir, turn and For even cooking it is essential to stir, turn and rearrange food during cooking. Always stir and
rearrange rearrange from the outside towards the centre.

Stand Standing time is necessary after cooking to enable the heat to disperse equally throughout

Shield Some areas of food being defrosted may become warm. Warm areas can be shielded with

reheating as steam will build up and may cause food to explode, e.g. Potatoes, Fish, Chicken,

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.

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.

Oven interior

1. 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.

2. Make sure that mild soap or water does not penetrate the small vents in the walls which
may cause damage to the oven.

3. Do not use spray type cleaners on the oven interior.

Turntable & 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.

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.

Ecologically responsible disposal of packaging
materials and old appliances

Packaging materials

AEG-Electrolux microwave ovens require effective packaging to protect them during
transportation. Only the minimum packaging necessary is used. Packaging materials
(e.g. foil or styrofoam) can place children at risk.

All packaging materials used are environment friendly and can be recycled. The
cardboard is made from recycled paper and the wooden parts are untreated. Plastic
items are marked as follows:
«PE» polyethylene eg packaging film
«PS» polystyrene eg packaging (CFC-free)
«PP» polypropylene eg packaging straps
By using and re-using the packaging, raw materials are saved and waste volume is
reduced. Packaging should be taken to your nearest recycling centre. Contact your
local council for information.

Disposal of old appliances

Old appliances should be made safe before disposal by removing the plug, and cutting

It should then be taken to the nearest recycling centre. Check with your local Council
