CAUTION

Do not let the appliance operate when there is
nothing inside.

General information about using the appliance

General:

• After you deactivate the appliance, let the food
stand for some minutes.

• Remove the aluminium foil packaging, metal
containers, etc before you prepare the food.

Cooling fan:

When the appliance operates, the cooling fan activates
automatically to keep the surfaces of the appliance
cool. If you deactivate the appliance, the cooling fan
can continue to operate until the appliance cools down.

Resuming cooking after opening door:

The “start” button must be pressed to continue cooking if
the oven door has been opened during cooking process.

Cooking:

Defrosting meat, poultry, fish:

• Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a small upturned
plate with a container below it so that the defrosting
liquid collects in the container.

• Turn the food after half of the defrosting time.
If possible, divide and then remove the pieces
that started to defrost.

Defrosting butter, portions of gateau, soft cheeses:

• Do not fully defrost the food in the appliance, but
let it defrost at room temperature. This gives a more
even result. Fully remove all metal or aluminium
packaging before defrosting.

Defrosting fruit, vegetables:

• Do not fully defrost fruit and vegetables, which are
to be further prepared while raw, in the appliance.
Let them defrost at room temperature.

• You can use a higher microwave power to cook fruit
and vegetables without defrosting them first.

Ready meals:

• You can prepare ready meals in the appliance only
if their packaging is suitable for microwave use.

• You must follow the manufacturer’s instructions
printed on the packaging (e.g. remove the metal
cover and pierce the plastic film).

• If possible, cook food covered with material suitable
for use in the microwave. Only cook food without a
cover if you want to keep it crusty.

• Do not overcook the dishes by setting the power and
time too high. The food can dry out, burn or catch fire
in some places.

• Do not use the appliance to cook eggs or snails in
their shells, because they can explode. With fried
eggs, pierce the yolks first.

• Prick food with “skin” or “peel”, such as potatoes,
tomatoes, sausages, with a fork several times before
cooking so that the food does not explode.

• For chilled or frozen food, set a longer cooking time.

• Dishes which contain sauce must be stirred from
time to time.

• Vegetables that have a firm structure, such as carrots,
peas or cauliflower, must be cooked in water.

• Turn larger pieces after half of the cooking time.

• If possible, cut vegetables into similar sized pieces.

• Use flat, wide dishes.

• Do not use cookware made of porcelain, ceramic
or earthenware with small holes, e.g. on handles or
unglazed bottoms. Moisture going into the holes can
cause the cookware to crack when it is heated.

• The glass cooking tray must be used for heating
food or liquids. It is necessary for the operation of
the microwave.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING

Power setting table

PROBLEM REMEDY

You cannot find details for the amount of food prepared. Look for a similar food. Increase or shorten the length

of the cooking times according to the following rule:

Double the amount = almost double the time,
Half the amount = half the time

The food got too dry. Set shorter cooking time or select lower microwave

power.

The food is not defrosted, hot or cooked after the time
came to an end.

After the cooking time comes to an end, the food is
overheated at the edge but is still not ready in the middle.

To get better results for rice use a flat, wide dish.

Defrosting

Always defrost roast with the fat side down. Do not
defrost covered meat because this may cause cooking
instead of defrosting. Always defrost whole poultry breast
side down.

Cooking

Always remove chilled meat and poultry from the
refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking. Let
the meat, poultry, fish and vegetables stay covered
after cooking.

Brush a little oil or melted butter over the fish. Add 30­45ml of cold water for every 250g of vegetables. Cut the
fresh vegetables into even size pieces before cooking.
Cook all vegetables with a cover on the container.

Reheating

When you reheat packed ready meals always follow the
instructions written on the packaging.

Grilling

Grill flat food items in the middle of the grill rack. Turn
the food over halfway through the set time and continue
grilling.

Set longer cooking time or set higher power. Note that
large dishes need longer time.

Next time set a lower power and a longer time.
Stir liquids halfway through, eg. soup.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING

Refer to the safety chapters.

Notes on cleaning:

• To clean the fingerprint-resistant stainless steel front
panel, simply wipe with a soft cloth using warm water
and a mild detergent. DO NOT use stainless steel
cleaners, abrasive cleaners or harsh solvents.

• Clean the appliance interior after each use. You will
be able to remove dirt more easily and it will not
burn on.

• Clean stubborn dirt with a special cleaner.

• Clean all accessories regularly and let them air
dry. Use a soft cloth with warm water and a
cleaning agent.

• Boil a glass of water at full microwave power for 2
to 3 minutes to soften and remove dried on remains.

• To remove odours, mix a glass of water with 2 tsp
of lemon juice and boil at full microwave power for
5 minutes.

Convection Cooking

You can cook food as in a traditional oven. No microwaves
are used.

Combi Cooking

Use the Combi Cooking to keep the crispness of certain
foods. At the half of the cooking time, turn over the foods
then continue. Each mode combines the microwave, grill
and convection functions at different time periods and
power levels.

WARNING

TIPS & INFORMATION

WARNING

• Electrolux Home Products cannot accept
responsibility for damage caused by installation
into low temperature tolerant cabinets.

• After installation, test and ensure that the appliance
operates correctly before handing it over to the
customer.

To avoid any potential hazard, you must follow our
instructions when you install your appliance. Failure
to install the appliance correctly could invalidate any
warranty or liability claims and lead to prosecution.

• Put the appliance far away from steam, hot air
and water splashes.

• If the appliance is stored/ transported at sub-zero
temperatures, do not activate it immediately after
installation. Allow at least two hours for it to be
brought up to room temperature before turning on
the unit.

Blocking the intake or outlet vents can damage 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.

• Place the oven as far away from radios and TV
as possible. Operation of the oven may cause
interference to your radio or TV reception.

• When there is interference, it may be reduced or
eliminated by taking the following measures:

- Clean door and sealing surface of the

microwave oven.

- Reorient the receiving antenna of the radio

and/or television.

- Move the microwave oven away from the

receiver.

- Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet

so that microwave oven and receiver are on
different branch circuits.

• Be sure the voltage and frequency where you
connect the microwave oven is the same as specified
on the rating plate on the microwave oven. If the
microwave oven is connected to the socket via an
extension cord, make sure the cord is earthed.
