Door:
To remove all trace of dirt, regularly clean both sides of the door, the door seals and sealing surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.
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. 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.
INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE
1. Remove all packaging and check carefully for any signs of damage.
2. Fit the fixing hooks to the kitchen cupboard using the instruction sheet and template supplied.
3. Fit the appliance into the kitchen cupboard slowly, and without force. The appliance should be lifted onto the fixing hooks and then lowered into place. In the case of interference during fitting, this hook is reversible. The front frame of the oven should seal against the front opening of the cupboard.
4. Ensure the appliance is stable and not leaning. Ensure that a 4 mm gap is kept between the cupboard door above and the top of the frame (see diagram).
CONNECTING THE APPLIANCE TO THE POWER SUPPLY
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 the oven immediately and call an authorised ELECTROLUX service agent.

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:
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.

MICROWAVE SAFE COOKWARE
|
Cookware |
Microwave safe |
Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Aluminium foil/ containers |
|
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 |
|
Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware and bone china are usually suitable, except for those with metallic decoration. |
| Glassware e.g. Pyrex ® |
|
Care should be taken if using fine glassware as it can break or crack if heated suddenly. |
| Metal |
|
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 |
|
Care must be taken as some containers warp, melt or discolour at high temperatures. |
| Freezer/roasting bags |
|
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 |
|
Only use for warming or to absorb moisture. Care must be taken as overheating may cause fire. |
| Straw and wooden containers |
|
Always attend the oven when using these materials as overheating may cause fire |
| Recycled paper and newspaper |
|
May contain extracts of metal which will cause arcing and may lead to fire. |
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 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). |
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.
