EME1925 U English
1. Avoid using straight-sided cont ainers with narrow
necks.
2. Do not overheat.
3. Stir the liquid before placin g the container in the
oven and again halfway through the heating time.
4. After heating, allow to st and in the oven for a
short time, stirring again before caref ully removing
the container.
WARNING : Some products such as
whole eggs and sealed containers – for

and should not be heated in this oven.
Occasionally, poached eggs may explode
during cooking. Always pierce the yolk,
then cover and allow the stan ding time of
one minute before removing cover.
• Do not force the turntable to rotat e 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 ut ensil.

Unpacking
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.
Installation.
1. Remove any promotion label f r om the door.
2. The oven should be installed on a flat, level
surface. The surface must be strong enough to
safely bear the weight (13.5 kg) of t he oven, and
the contents. To av oid the possibility of causi ng
vibration or noise the oven must be in a stable
position.
3. Keep the oven away from heat and wat er.
Exposure to heat and water can lower ove n
efficiency and lead to malfuncti oning, 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 an y 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 T V ’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
15 cm from the walls and 17 cm above the
microwave.
IMPORTANT! The oven can be placed almost
anywhere in the kitchen. Make sure t he oven is
placed on a flat, level surface and that vents as
well as the surface underneath the oven are not
blocked (for sufficient ventilat ion).
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 chil dren can play with
it. This can be hazardous.
Connecting to the mains
The oven is delivered with the power cord and a plug
for 230V, 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 earth ed.
WARNING : This appliance must not
be used on a non-earth protected power
supply. Contact an electrician if you are
uncertain regardi ng electrical connection
of the oven or provision of earth protection
of the supply.
WARNING : 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 th e fuse in a nonrewireable plug, the fuse cover must be
refitted. If the fuse cover is l ost or
damaged, the plug must not be used until
a replacement is obtai ned.
WARNING : It is hazardous for
anyone other than factory trained service
personnel to carry out any service or
repair operation that involves the removal
of a cover that gives pro t ecti on against
exposure to microwave energy.
WARNING : If the supply cord is
damaged, it must b e rep laced by the
manufacturer, its servi ce agent or similarl y
qualified persons in order to avoid a
hazard.

Defrosting Tips
1. It is better to underestimate def rosting 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 t ime, 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 t hat 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 bef ore cooking.

Microwave Tips
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 cass eroles.
•
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 defrost ed
•
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 t o 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 indicat ed
•
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.
Softening Honey
•
If you have a jar of honey which has
crystallised, remove lid and place the jar in the
oven, microwave on medium power for 2
minutes.
Melting Chocolate
•
Break 100g of chocolate into squares, place in
a bowl and heat on high power for 1-2
minutes and stir well.
Softening or Melting Butter
•
Melting takes a few seconds on high po wer.
Softening is best done more gent ly on low
power.
Freshen or Warm Bread
•
Use medium power for few seconds.
Peeling Garlic easily
•
Heat 3 or 4 cloves of garlic on high power f or
15 seconds. Squeeze at one end until t he
clove pops out.
Fruit Juice
•
Citrus fruits will yield more juice if they are
heated on high power for 15 seconds bef ore
squeezing.
Cooking Porridge
•
Porridge is easily cooked in the serving dish
with no sticky pan to wash. Follow f ood
manufacturers’ recommendations.

Care and cleanin
The oven must always be clean. Residu e of food from spillovers or spatters wil l at tract 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 shoul d only be done by a
qualified service technician.
Be sure the oven is disconnected from the electricity supply before cleaning.
Cleaning the accessories (turntable and support)
Clean them with mild deterge nt after removing them from the cavity. The turntable support should be carefully
handled.
CAUTION: The inside of the oven and turntable get very hot, so do not t ouch them immediately after use.
Cleaning the interior
Always keep the inside of the oven clea n. Wipe up spill-overs and food spatters imme diately. 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.
NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS, COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS OR STEEL WOOL PADS ON
ANY PART OF THE MICROWAVE OVEN.
To loosen difficult depos its, 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 exterior
Open the oven door when cleaning the control panel. This will prevent the oven from being turned on
accidentally. You should clean out side surfaces of the oven with mild liquid detergent and water followed by a
wiping with clear water to remove a ny excess det ergent. Dry with a soft cloth.
Spray-on window cleaners or all purpose spray-on kitchen cleaners can also be us ed. Never use abrasive
cleaners, scouring pads or harsh chemicals on out side surfaces of your oven. To prevent damage to the
working parts, do not allow wat er to seep into ventilation openings.

After-sales service and spare parts
If the appliance does not work correctly, carry out
the following checks first before contacting the
local After-Sales Service Centre.
If the oven does not start:
• Check that the appliance is connected to the mains.
• Check that the plug is pushed in properly.
• If appropriate, replace the fuse in the plug by
another of the same rating and check that the plug
is wired correctly.
• Check that any switch, at the wall socket or
elsewhere in the circuit, is ON.
• Check that the wall socket is working by plugging in
something else that you know is working.
• Check the fuse in the fuse-box.
If the microwaves are not operating:
• The child security feature might have been set
(available on some models)
• Check that the controls have been set correctly.
• Check the adjustments/procedures by referring to
the instruction manual.
• Check that the door is closed properly. (If particles
of food or other things remain stuck in the doorway,
the door will not close correctly and the microwave
oven will not operate.)
• Check that the Start button is activated.
If the oven still does not work properly after the above
checks, contact the local Electrolux After-Sales Service
