Electrolux EMS20300OX - Manual (Page 3)

• The appliance is not intended to be oper-
ated by means of an external timer or sep-
arate remote-control system.
• Care should be taken not to obstruct any
air vents located on the top, rear, side and
bottom of the oven.
Warning! Do not use this oven for
commercial purposes. This oven is
made for domestic use only.
Utensil safety
Only use utensils that are suitable for use in
a microwave oven.
Arcing in the oven during microwave opera-
tion usually occurs from use of metallic uten-
sils. Continuous arcing, however, can dam-
age the unit. Stop the programme and check
the utensil.
Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-resistant
glassware utensils are excellent for use in the
microwave oven. Although microwave ener-
gy will not heat most glass and ceramic
items, these utensils can become hot as heat
transfers from the food to the container. The
use of oven gloves to remove dishes is rec-
ommended.
Food safety
• Do not heat food in a can in the microwave
oven. Always remove the food to a suitable
container.
• Deep fat frying should not be done in the
microwave oven, because the fat temper-
ature cannot be controlled, hazardous sit-
uations can result.
• Popcorn may be prepared in the micro-
wave oven, but only in special packages or
utensils designed specifically for this pur-
pose. This cooking operation should never
be unattended.
• Pierce foods with nonporous skins or
membranes to prevent steam buildup and
bursting. Apples, potatoes, chicken livers,
and egg yolks are examples of items that
should be pierced.
• The contents of feeding bottles and baby
food jars are to be stirred or shaken and
the temperature is to be checked before
consumption, in order to avoid burns.
Warning! Liquids or other foods must
not be heated in sealed containers since
they are liable to explode.
Warning! Microwave heating of
beverages can result in delayed eruptive
boiling, therefore care must be taken
when handling the container.
Warning! When heating liquids, e.g.
soups, sauces and beverages in your
microwave oven, overheating the liquid
beyond boiling point can occur without
evidence of bubbling. This could result in
a sudden boil over of the hot liquid. To
prevent this possibility the following
steps should be taken:
1. Avoid using straight-sided contain-
ers with narrow necks.
2. Do not overheat.
3. Stir the liquid before placing the con-
tainer in the oven and again halfway
through the heating time.
4. After heating, allow to stand in the
oven for a short time, stirring again
before carefully removing the con-
tainer.
Warning! Some products such as
whole eggs and sealed containers - for
example, closed glass jars - may
explode and should not be heated in this
oven. Occasionally, poached eggs may
explode during cooking. Always pierce
the yolk, then cover and allow the
standing time of one minute before
removing cover.
It is quite normal for steam to be emitted
around the door, or for misting to occur
on the door, or even for water droplets
to appear below the door during the
cooking cycle. This is merely condensa-
tion from the heat of the food and does
not affect the safety of your oven. The
door is not intended to seal the oven
cavity completely.
