Oven interior:
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. Make
sure that mild soap or water does not penetrate the small
vents in the walls which may cause damage to the oven.
Do not use spray type cleaners on the oven interior. Heat
up your oven regularly by using the grill. Remaining food
or fat splashed can cause smoke or a bad smell. Clean
the waveguide cover, the oven cavity, the turntable and
turntable support after use. These must be dry and free
from grease. Built-up grease may overheat and begin to
smoke or catch fire.
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.
Turntable and 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.

2.2 Connecting the appliance to
the power supply
(A)
• The electrical outlet should be readily
accessible so that the unit can be
unplugged easily in an emergency. Or
it should be possible to isolate the oven
from the supply by incorporating a
switch in the fixed wiring in accordance
with the wiring rules.
• The power supply cord may only be
replaced by an electrician.
• If the supply cord is damaged it must
be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• The socket should not be positioned
behind the cupboard.
• The best position is above the
cupboard, see (A).
• Connect the appliance to a single
phase 220-240 V/50 Hz alternating
current via a correctly rated earth
socket.
• If the appliance is to be operated in a
non-European country, the supply
voltage, current type and frequency of
the appliance indicated on the rating
plate must correspond with the
specification of your power supply. The
rating plate can be found on the inside
face of the control panel.
• Before installing, tie a piece of string to
the power supply cord to facilitate
connection to point (A) when the
appliance is being installed.
• When inserting the appliance into the
high-sided cupboard, DO NOT crush
the power supply cord.
• Do not immerse the power supply cord
or plug in water or any other liquid.
• Do not allow the power supply cord to
run over any hot or sharp surfaces,
such as the hot air vent area at the top
rear of the oven.

2.3 Additional advice
Do not use the microwave oven to heat oil
for deep frying. The temperature cannot be
controlled and the oil may catch fire. To
make popcorn, only use special
microwave popcorn makers.
Individuals with PACEMAKERS should
check with their doctor or the manufacturer
of the pacemaker for precautions
regarding microwave ovens.
Never spill or insert any objects into the
door lock openings or ventilation openings.
In the event of a spill, turn off and unplug
he oven immediately and call an
authorised ELECTROLUX service agent.
Never modify the oven in any way.
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:
• Before cleaning the turntable with
water, leave the turntable to cool.
• Do not put hot foods or hot utensils on a
cold turntable.
• Do not put cold foods or cold utensils
on a hot turntable.
Do not use plastic containers for
microwaving if the oven is still hot from
using the GRILL mode and DUAL GRILL
mode because they may melt. Plastic
containers must not be used during above
modes unless the container manufacturer
says they are suitable.
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.

Comments
Small pieces of aluminium foil can be used to shield food
from overheating. Keep foil at least 2 cm from the oven
walls, as arcing may occur. Foil containers are not
recommended unless specified by the manufacturer.
Follow instructions carefully.
Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware and bone china are
usually suitable, except for those with metallic decoration.
Care should be taken if using fine glassware as it can
break or crack if heated suddenly.
It is not recommended to use metal cookware when using
microwave power as it will arc, which can lead to fire.
Care must be taken as some containers warp, melt or
discolour at high temperatures.
Must be pierced to let steam escape. Ensure bags are
suitable for microwave use. Do not use plastic or metal
ties, as they may melt or catch fire due to the metal arcing.
Only use for warming or to absorb moisture. Care must be
taken as overheating may cause fire.
Always attend the oven when using these materials as
overheating may cause fire.
May contain extracts of metal which will cause arcing and
may lead to fire.

7.2 Microwave cooking advice
Microwave cooking advice
Composition
Foods high in fat or sugar (e.g. Christmas pudding, mince pies) require less
heating time. Care should be taken as overheating can lead to fire.
Size
For even cooking make all the pieces the same size.
Temperature of The initial temperature of food affects the amount of cooking time needed.
food
Cut into foods with fillings (e.g. jam doughnuts) to release heat or steam.
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 reheating as steam will build up and may cause food to explode
(e.g. potatoes, fish, chicken, sausages).
IMPORTANT! Eggs should not be heated using microwave power as
they may explode, even after cooking has ended (e.g. poached, hard
boiled).
Stir, turn and
For even cooking it is essential to stir, turn and rearrange food during cooking.
rearrange
Always stir and rearrange from the outside towards the centre.
Stand
Standing time is necessary after cooking to enable the heat to disperse equally
throughout the food.
Shield
Warm areas can be shielded with small pieces of foil, which reflect microwaves
(e.g. legs and wings on a chicken).
Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing food from the oven to prevent burns. Always open
containers, popcorn makers, oven cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands to avoid steam
burns.
Always stand back from the oven door when opening to avoid burns from escaping steam and heat.
Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release steam and avoid burns.
