 The built-in safety interlock switches prevent
the microwave oven from operating when the door is open.
 Do not tamper with them, or attempt to operate the oven
with the door open as open door operation can result in exposure to microwave energy.
 Do not allow food spills or cleaner residue to accumu-
late on door sealing surfaces. See the Cleaning and Care section for cleaning instructions.
 It is particularly important that the oven door closes pro-
perly and that there is no damage to the: (1) door (warped), (2) hinges and latches (broken or insecure), (3) door seals and sealing surface.
If the door, hinges/latches or door seals are damaged, the microwave must not be operated until it has been repaired by an authorized ser­vice engineer.
It is hazardous for anyone other than factory trained service personnel to service or make adjustments to this oven. Contact your local Electrolux Service Force Centre if service should be required.
 Do not remove the outer case, door or control panel at
any time. Doing so may cause exposure to extremely high voltage.
 Install or locate this oven only in accordance with
installation instructions found in this manual.
 Use the appliance for its intended use as described in
this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or defrost food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use neither for commercial use as this will invalidate the guarantee.
 Do not operate the oven without the turntable correctly
positioned nor empty. If food or water is not present to absorb the microwave energy, the magnetron tube can be damaged.
 Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this
product near water.
 Do not attempt to dry clothing or newspapers in the
microwave oven. These items can ignite.
 In order to evacuate moisture, your appliance is fitted
with a delayed ventilation function. Depending on the applied cooking mode (solo / grill / combination), the oven ventilation will continue to operate after the cooking
end. It switches off automatically after 3 minutes.
 Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not
leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.
If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames. Never use water. Only allow children to use the microwave with­out supervision when adequate instructions have been given so that the child is able to use the microwave in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.
Utensil safety
 Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-resistant glass-
ware utensils are excellent for use in the microwave oven. Although microwave energy will not heat most glass and ceramic items, these utensils can become hot as heat transfers from the food to the container. Use oven gloves to remove dishes.
Testing suitability of cookware
 Place the cookware in the microwave along with a
glass half full of water. Heat on 900W (100%) for one minute. If the cookware feels hot, you should not use it. If it is just slightly warm, you can use it for reheating but not for cooking. If the dish is room temperature, it is suitable for microwave cooking.
 Paper napkins, wax paper, paper towels, plates,
cups, cartons, freezer wrap and cardboard are great convenience utensils. Always be sure containers are filled with food to absorb energy and thus avoid the possibility of overheating.
 Many plastic dishes, cups, freezer containers and
plastic wraps may be used in the microwave oven. Follow manufacturers instructions when using plas­tics in the oven. Avoid using plastic utensils with foods that have high fat or sugar content since these foods reach high temperatures and could melt some plastics.
 Do not leave the oven unattended, heating or cooking
food in plastic, paper or other combustible containers. If smoke is observed, keep door closed, switch the oven off or disconnect oven until smoke stops.

 Metal containers and containers with metallic trim
should not be used in the microwave oven, unless specifically recommended for microwave use.
 Containers with restricted openings, such as bottles,
should not be used for microwave cooking.
 Use caution when removing a lid or cover from a dish
to avoid steam burns.
Foil containers
Shallow foil containers may safely be used to reheat foods in your microwave oven providing the fol­lowing rules are observed:
1. Foil containers should not be more than 3 cm (1 1/4) deep.
2. Foil lids must not be used.
3. The foil containers must be at least two-thirds full of food. Empty containers must never be used.
4. Foil containers should be used singly in the microwave oven and should not be allowed to touch the sides. If your oven has a metal turntable or cooking rack, the foil container should be placed on an upturned oven­proof plate.
5. Foil containers should never be re-used in the microwave oven.
6. If the microwave oven has been in use for 15 minutes or more, allow it to cool before using it again.
7. The container and turntable may become hot during
use, take great care when removing either from the oven. It is advisable to use an oven cloth or glove when doing so.
8. Remember when using an aluminium foil container that the reheating or cooking times may be longer than you are used to, always ensure that the food is piping hot before serving.
Food safety
Do not heat food in a can in the microwave oven.
Always remove the food to a suitable container.
Deep fat frying should not be done in the microwave
oven, because the fat temperature cannot be con­trolled, hazardous situations can result.
Popcorn may be prepared in the microwave oven,
but only in special packages or utensils designed specifically for this purpose. This cooking opera­tion should never be unattended.
Pierce foods with non-porous skins or membranes to
prevent steam build-up and bursting. Apples, pota­toes, chicken livers, and egg yolks are examples of items that should be pierced.
The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are
to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.
When heating liquids, e.g. soups, sauces and beverages in your microwave oven, overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling. This could result in a sud­den boil over of the hot liquid. To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken:
1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
2. Do not overheat.
3. Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the heating time.
4. After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the container.
Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers  for example, closed glass jars  may explode and should not be heated in this oven. Occasionally, poached eggs may explode during cooking. Always pierce the yolk, then cover and allow standing time of one minute before removing cover.
Keep these instructions!

Safety instructions when cooking by grill
1. The glass viewing window may break if water is spilled on it during grilling.
2. Be sure to use an oven glove when loading and unloading the oven. Containers get very hot in the oven, so be careful not to burn yourself. The turntable and metal rack also get very hot so be sure to use an oven glove when handling them.
3. Do not touch the inner or outer viewing window with metal components when loading or unloading the oven. The inside of the door and oven get very hot so take care when attending food in the oven.
4. Do not put the turntable or containers in cold water or try to cool them quickly after use.
5. Do not place items on top of the cabinet. The top of the cabinet gets very hot, so anything placed on it may be damaged by the heat.
It is quite normal for steam to be emitted around the door, or for misting to occur on the door, or even for water droplets to appear below the door during the cooking cycle. This is merely con­densation from the heat of the food and does not affect the safety of your oven. The door is not intended to seal the oven cavity completely.
 Do not force the turntable to rotate 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 uten­sil.
 Care should be taken not to obstruct any air
vents located on the top, rear, side and bottom of the oven.
Do not use this oven for commercial purposes.

EEMMSS 22448855 UUKK
Defrosting Tips
1
. It is better to underestimate defrosting 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 time, 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 that in which it was frozen, 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 before cooking.
Example: To defrost a 1.0 Kg of Chicken:
1. Press the button for Automatic Defrost until
JJ11
appears in the display.
2. Use the Timer/weight knob to set the weight.
3. Press the Start button. The display shows the defrost time.
4. If you want to modify the settings, press the Clear button and start again.
Midway through the programme, three short beeps will be heard. Stir or turn the food item at this time.
The programme is not interrupted.

Manual defrosting
For manual defrosting (without using Auto Defrost features) use 150W. To speed up the defrosting of dense foods over 450g (1lb), the oven may be started on full power for 13 minutes, then be reduced to 150W until defrosting is com­plete.

to cover parts 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 cas-
serole 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 for normal cooking.  Season afterwards.  Allow a few minutes standing time after the oven
has switched off to ensure complete and even cook-
ing results.  Always ensure food is piping hot throughout before
serving.  Use gloves when taking dishes and food from the
oven.

The oven must always be clean. Residue of food from spill-overs or spatters will absorb microwave energy causing it to burn on. This could reduce the efficiency of the oven and may cause unpleasant odours. 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.
Cleaning the accessories
(turnable, support and rack)
Clean them with mild detergent after removing them from the cavity. The turntable support should be care­fully handled.
The inside of the oven and turntable get very hot, so do not touch them immediately after use.
Cleaning the interior
Soilage that is 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 soilage. NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEA-
NERS, 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.
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 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.

1. Remove any promotion label from the door.
2. This oven can be used as a free standing oven or built-in, into a kitchen cabinet using kit number BF
246. To install the oven in a kitchen cabinet follow the instructions supplied with the building-in kit. The oven should be installed on a flat, level surface. The surface must be strong enough to safely bear the weight (18 kg) of the oven, and the contents. To avoid the possibility of causing vibration or noise the oven must be in a stable position.
3. Keep the oven away from heat and water. Exposure to heat and water can lower oven efficiency and lead to malfunctioning, 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 any articles on the top of the oven. A gap all around the oven is necessary : 140 mm above the oven and any objects, 50 mm on the sides and 100 mm behind 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 TV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 5 cm from the right side wall.
IMPORTANT! The oven can be placed almost anywhere in the kitchen. Make sure the oven is placed on a flat, level surface and that vents as well as the surface underneath the oven are not blocked (for sufficient ventilation).
Electrical connections
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
The manufacturer declines any liability
should this safety measure not be observed.
f the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not suitable for your socket outlet, it must be cut off and the appro­priate plug fitted. Remove the fuse from the cut off plug. The cut off plug should then be disposed of to prevent the hazard of shocks in case it should be plugged into a 13 Amp socket in another part of your home.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
GREEN AND YELLOW EARTH BLUE NEUTRAL BROWN LIVE
If you fit your own plug, the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not correspond with the markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
Connect the green and yellow (earth) wire to the termi­nal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or the earth symbol ( ) or coloured green and yellow. Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter N or coloured black. Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

Build-in model
To install the appliance in a kitchen cabinet, use the appropriate mounting frame. Note the relevant instruc­tions for installation and connection. When building in to a high cabinet, you may use the liftdoor. Note the rele­vant information for installation and connection given in the operating instructions of the lift door.
Warning !
Never operate the microwave oven with the lift door closed. Such operation would damage your appliance and invalidate the guarantee.
Connect to a plug socket with protective earth contact and fused with a 13 A-L automatic device or 13 A slow­blowing fuse. When the oven is installed, there must be a possibility of disconnecting it from mains with a contact break of at least 3 mm on all poles. A suitable size of LS-switch, or a melting or fly-out fuse, are suitable contact-breakers.

Technical data
The plug moulded on to the lead incorporates a fuse. For replacement, use a 13 Amp BS1362 fuse. Only ASTA or BSI approved fuses should be used. The plug must not be used if the fuse cover/carrier is lost. The cover/carrier is indicated by the coloured insert at the base of the plug. A replacement cover/carrier is indicated by the coloured insert at the base of the plug. A replacement cover/carrier must be obtained from your local Electrolux Service Centre. This appliance complies with E.E.C. directive No. 87/308 of 2.6.87 relative to radio interference suppres­sion.
Connecting to the mains
The oven is delivered with the power cord and a plug for 240 V, 50Hz, earthed socket outlet. Earth protection minimizes 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 earthed.
Thi
s applianc
e must not be used on a nonearth protected power supply. Contact an electrician if you are uncertain regarding electrical connection of the oven or provision of earth protection of the supply. This appliance must be earthed. If this appli­ance is fitted with a non-rewirable plug for which your socket is unsuitable, the plug should be cut off and the appropriate plug fitted. If it is necessary to change the fuse in a nonrewirable plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained.
