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:
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).
· 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 cooking tray must be used for heating food or liquids. It is necessary
for the operation of the microwave.

overheated at the edge but is still not ready in the middle. Stir liquids halfway through, eg. soup.
To get better results for rice use a flat, wide dish.
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 3045ml 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.

INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
· 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.
WARNING
Only a qualified person must do the electrical installation.
IMPORTANT
The manufacturer is not responsible if you do not follow the safety
precautions from the chapter “Safety Instructions”. This appliance is supplied
with a supply cable only.

disconnect the appliance from the mains at all poles. The isolation device
must have a contact opening width of minimum 3mm.

Contact an electrician if you are uncertain regarding electrical connection of
the oven or provision of earth protection of the supply.
