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.

Comments
Aluminium foil/
containers
3 / 7
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.
China and ceramics
3 / 7
Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware and bone china are
usually suitable, except for those with metallic decoration.
Glassware
e.g. Pyrex ®
3
Care should be taken if using fine glassware as it can break or
crack if heated suddenly.
Metal
7
It is not recommended to use metal cookware when using
microwave power as it will arc, which can lead to fire.
Plastic/polystyrene e.g.
fast food containers
3
Care must be taken as some containers warp, melt or discolour
at high temperatures.
Freezer/roasting bags
3
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.
Paper-plates, cups and
kitchen paper
3
Only use for warming or to absorb moisture. Care must be taken
as overheating may cause fire.
Straw and wooden
containers
3
Always attend the oven when using these materials as
overheating may cause fire.
Recycled paper and
newspaper
7
May contain extracts of metal which will cause arcing and may
lead to fire.
HINTS AND TIPS

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
food
The initial temperature of food affects the amount of cooking time needed.
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
rearrange
For even cooking it is essential to stir, turn and rearrange food during cooking. 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).
MICROWAVE COOKING ADVICE
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.

Problem Check if . . .
The microwave appliance is
not working properly?
• The fuses in the fuse box are working.
• There has not been a power outage.
• If the fuses continue to blow, please contact a qualified electrician.
The microwave mode is not
working?
• The door is properly closed.
• The door seals and their surfaces are clean.
• The START
key has been pressed.
The turntable is not
turning?
• The turntable support is correctly connected to the drive.
• The ovenware does not extend beyond the turntable.
• Food does not extend beyond the edge of the turntable preventing it from
rotating.
• There is nothing in the well beneath the turntable.
The microwave will not
switch off?
• Isolate the appliance from the fuse box.
• Call an authorised ELECTROLUX service agent.
The interior light is not
working?
• Call your authorised ELECTROLUX service agent. The interior light can
be exchanged only by a trained authorised ELECTROLUX service agent.
The food is taking longer to
heat through and cook than
before?
• Set a longer cooking time (double quantity = nearly double time) or
• If the food is colder than usual, rotate or turn from time to time or
• Set a higher power setting.
The door will not open due
to power cut?
• Open the door carefully by pulling outward at the bottom right hand
corner of the door glass.
