• WARNING!
  It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation that involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.
• WARNING!
  Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.

This appliance is intended to be used in households and similar applications such as: staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments; farmhouses; by clients in hotels, motels and other residential environments; bed and breakfast-type environments.

Only use microwave-safe containers and utensils. Metallic containers for food and beverages are not allowed during microwave cooking. Do not leave the oven unattended when using disposable plastic, paper or other combustible food containers. The microwave oven is intended for heating food and beverages. Drying of food or clothing and heating of warming pads, slippers, sponges, damp cloth and similar may lead to risk of injury, ignition or fire.

If the food being heated begins to smoke, DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR. Turn off and unplug the oven and wait until the food has stopped smoking. Opening the door while food is smoking may cause a fire. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when handling the container. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns. Do not cook eggs in their shells and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode even after microwave cooking has ended.

Care and cleaning

Door:
To remove all traces 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 the 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. 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 the 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 deactivate 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.

Racks:
This should be washed in a mild washing-up liquid solution and dried. The racks are dishwasher safe.

IMPORTANT!
Clean the oven at regular intervals and remove any food deposits. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to a deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

Care should be taken not to displace the turntable when removing containers from the appliance.

IMPORTANT!
A steam cleaner should not be used. The microwave oven is intended to be used built-in. The appliance and its accessible parts become hot during use. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements.

• WARNING!
  Keep children away from the door and accessible parts that may become hot when the grill is in use. Children should be kept away to prevent them from burning themselves.
• IMPORTANT!
  Do not use commercial oven cleaners, steam cleaners, abrasive, harsh cleaners, any that contain sodium hydroxide or scouring pads on any part of your microwave oven.

Measurements in (mm)

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

• 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 installed earth socket. The socket must be fused with a 16 A fuse.
• 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.

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. 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 the 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 vapor 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 malfunction.

Concerning the lamp(s) inside this product and spare part lamps sold separately: These lamps are intended to withstand extreme physical conditions in household appliances, such as temperature, vibration, and humidity, or are intended to signal information about the operational status of the appliance. They are not intended to be used in other applications and are not suitable for household room illumination.
