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:

• 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.

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).

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 30- 45ml 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.

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.

• Refer to data plate for rating information and circuit diagram. The data plate is positioned behind the bottom of the oven door. The circuit diagram is positioned on the top panel of the appliance.
• For appliances with open cooking surfaces, an all pole disconnect functional switch should be provided near the appliance in an accessible position. Refer to AS/NZS 3000 clause 4.7.1.
• Wiring should be protected against mechanical failure. Refer to AS/NZS3000 clauses 3.3.2.6, 3.9, 3.10.
• A means of disconnection with a contact separation of at least 3mm must be supplied in the fixed wiring.

This appliance must be properly earthed.

• Do not lift the appliance by the door handle.
• Prepare the cupboard opening to match your appliance measurements. (See diagrams).
• Slide appliance into the cupboard, ensuring that the supply cable (where fitted) does not kink.
• To prevent tipping, use the screws supplied to secure your oven into the cupboard. Use just 2 screws for single cavity ovens.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. The plug must be accessible after installation.
• Where the appliance is built into a cabinet, the cabinet material must be capable of withstanding 70°C. Installation into low temperature tolerant cabinetry (eg. vinyl coated) may result in deterioration of the coating by discolouring or bubbling.
• If the appliance is installed adjacent to vinyl-wrapped surfaces, use an installation kit available from the vinyl wrap supplier.
• 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.

This microwave oven must not be used on a non-earth protected power supply. Contact an electrician if you are uncertain regarding electrical connection of the oven or provision of earth protection of the supply.

If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
