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. Before using your Microwave Oven Read through the instruction manual carefully and ensure that you follow the recommendations given, these instructions have been prepared so that you get the best from your new Electrolux Microwave Oven. 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 so that the new owner can be acquainted with the functioning of the appliance and the relevant warnings. Safety Instructions • • • • • • • • • • 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 accumulate on door sealing surfaces. See the Cleaning and Care section for cleaning instructions. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged until it has been repaired by qualified service personnel. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) door (warped), (2) hinges and latches (broken or insecure), (3) door seals and sealing surface. Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local Service Force Centre. 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 empty. If food or water is not present to absorb the microwave energy, the magnetron tube can be damaged. Close supervision is necessary when the oven is used by children. 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. Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use. Utensil safety Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-resistant glassware 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. The use of oven gloves to remove dishes is recommended. 4 t EME1730 Testing suitability of cookware • • • • • • • English Food safety • Place the cookware in the cavity along with a glass half full of water. Heat on 700 W (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 oven unattended, and look at it from time to time when 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 utensils and utensils 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. • • • 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 un-attended. 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. WARNING: 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 the standing time of one minute before removing cover. NOTE: • 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. This oven is made for domestic use only. Keep these instructions 5 t EME1730 English Oven utensils and accessories guide A variety of Utensils and Materials may be used for cooking in your microwave oven.

Preferably use round or oval casseroles with a lid when cooking in your microwave oven. Do not use metal or metal decorated casseroles. 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 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 to 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 indicated 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. 14 • 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 power. Softening is best done more gently 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 for 15 seconds. Squeeze at one end until the clove pops out. • Fruit Juice Citrus fruits will yield more juice if they are heated on high power for 15 seconds before squeezing. • Cooking Porridge Porridge is easily cooked in the serving dish with no sticky pan to wash. Follow food manufacturers’ recommendations. t EME1730 English Care and cleaning The oven must always be clean. Residue of food from spillovers or spatters will attract 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 should 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 detergent 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 touch them immediately after use. Cleaning the interior Always keep the inside of the oven clean. Wipe up spill-overs and food spatters immediately. 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 deposits, 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 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. 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. 15 t EME1730 English 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 Centre. The address can be found on the following pages of this user guide.
