• The built-in safety interlock switches prevent
the microwave oven from operating when the door
is open.
• Do not tamper with them, or attempt to operate the oven
with the door open as open door operation can result
in exposure to microwave energy.
• Do not allow food spills or cleaner residue to accumu-
late on door sealing surfaces. See the Cleaning and
Care section for cleaning instructions.
• It is particularly important that the oven door closes pro-
perly and that there is no damage to the:
(1) door (warped), (2) hinges and latches (broken or
insecure), (3) door seals and sealing surface.
If the door, hinges/latches or door seals are
damaged, the microwave must not be operated
until it has been repaired by an authorized ser-
vice engineer.
It is hazardous for anyone other than factory
trained service personnel to service or make
adjustments to this oven. Contact your local
Electrolux Service Force Centre if service should
be required.
• Do not remove the outer case, door or control panel at
any time. Doing so may cause exposure to extremely
high voltage.
• Install or locate this oven only in accordance with
‘installation instructions’ found in this manual.
• Use the appliance for its intended use as described in
this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals in this
appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed
to heat, cook, or defrost food. It is not designed for
industrial or laboratory use neither for commercial use
as this will invalidate the guarantee.
• Do not operate the oven without the turntable correctly
positioned nor empty. If food or water is not present to
absorb the microwave energy, the magnetron tube
can be damaged.
• Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this
product near water.
• Do not attempt to dry clothing or newspapers in the
microwave oven. These items can ignite.
• In order to evacuate moisture, your appliance is fitted
with a delayed ventilation function. Depending on the
applied cooking mode (solo / grill / combination), the
oven ventilation will continue to operate after the cooking
end. It switches off automatically after 3 minutes.
• Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not
leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the
cavity when not in use.
If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the
appliance and keep the door closed in order to
stifle any flames. Never use water.
Only allow children to use the microwave with-
out supervision when adequate instructions have
been given so that the child is able to use the
microwave in a safe way and understands the
hazards of improper use.
Utensil safety
• Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-resistant glass-
ware utensils are excellent for use in the microwave
oven. Although microwave energy will not heat most
glass and ceramic items, these utensils can become
hot as heat transfers from the food to the container.
Use oven gloves to remove dishes.
Testing suitability of cookware
• Place the cookware in the microwave along with a
glass half full of water. Heat on 900W (100%) for one
minute. If the cookware feels hot, you should not use
it. If it is just slightly warm, you can use it for reheating
but not for cooking. If the dish is room temperature, it
is suitable for microwave cooking.
• Paper napkins, wax paper, paper towels, plates,
cups, cartons, freezer wrap and cardboard are great
convenience utensils. Always be sure containers are
filled with food to absorb energy and thus avoid the
possibility of overheating.
• Many plastic dishes, cups, freezer containers and
plastic wraps may be used in the microwave oven.
Follow manufacturer’s instructions when using plas-
tics in the oven. Avoid using plastic utensils with foods
that have high fat or sugar content since these foods
reach high temperatures and could melt some plastics.
• Do not leave the oven unattended, heating or cooking
food in plastic, paper or other combustible containers.
If smoke is observed, keep door closed, switch the
oven off or disconnect oven until smoke stops.
