Read through the instruction manual carefully. The fol-

lowing instructions have been prepared so that you can

get the best from your new Electrolux microwave oven.

It is important that this instruction book is retained with

the appliance for future reference. Should the appliance

be sold or transferred to another owner, or if you move

house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the

book is supplied with the appliance so that the new

owner can become acquainted with the functioning of

the appliance and the relevant warnings. Please ensure

you have read the whole instruction book before using

the appliance and that you follow the recommendations

given.

N.B. When you unpack the oven, check that the pro-

duct is free from damage. Damage or any missing parts

must be reported immediately to the retailer. The oven,

parts of the oven or the accessories may be wrapped by

a protection foil. If so, you must remove this foil before

using the oven. Do not leave packing material so that

small children can play with it. This can be hazardous.

Unpacking

Explanation of the heating category label for microwave ovens and small packs of food

(up to 500g / 1 lb, typical of ready meals for 1 or 2 people)

as agreed by MAFF (the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food)

in conjunction with food and Microwave Oven manufacturers.

 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.

 Metal containers and containers with metallic trim

should not be used in the microwave oven, unless

specifically recommended for microwave use.

 Containers with restricted openings, such as bottles,

should not be used for microwave cooking.

 Use caution when removing a lid or cover from a dish

to avoid steam burns.

Foil containers

Shallow foil containers may safely be used to reheat

foods in your microwave oven providing the fol-

lowing rules are observed:

1. Foil containers should not be more than 3 cm (1 1/4)

deep.

2. Foil lids must not be used.

3. The foil containers must be at least two-thirds full of

food. Empty containers must never be used.

4. Foil containers should be used singly in the microwave

oven and should not be allowed to touch the sides. If

your oven has a metal turntable or cooking rack, the

foil container should be placed on an upturned oven-

proof plate.

5. Foil containers should never be re-used in the

microwave oven.

6. If the microwave oven has been in use for

15 minutes or more, allow it to cool before using it

again.

7. The container and turntable may become hot during

use, take great care when removing either from the

oven. It is advisable to use an oven cloth or glove

when doing so.

8. Remember when using an aluminium foil container

that the reheating or cooking times may be longer

than you are used to, always ensure that the food is

piping hot before serving.

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 temperature cannot be con-

trolled, hazardous situations can result.

 Popcorn may be prepared in the microwave oven,

but only in special packages or utensils designed

specifically for this purpose. This cooking opera-

tion should never be unattended.

 Pierce foods with non-porous skins or membranes to

prevent steam build-up and bursting. Apples, pota-

toes, 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.

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 sud-

den boil over of the hot liquid. To prevent this

possibility the following steps should be taken:

1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow

necks.

2. Do not overheat.

3. Stir the liquid before placing the container 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

container.

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 standing time of one minute

before removing cover.

Keep these instructions!

EEMMSS 22448855UUKK

Safety instructions when cooking by grill

1. The glass viewing window may break if water is spilled

on it during grilling.

2. Be sure to use an oven glove when loading and

unloading the oven. Containers get very hot in the

oven, so be careful not to burn yourself. The turntable

and metal rack also get very hot so be sure to use an

oven glove when handling them.

3. Do not touch the inner or outer viewing window with

metal components when loading or unloading the

oven. The inside of the door and oven get very hot so

take care when attending food in the oven.

4. Do not put the turntable or containers in cold water or

try to cool them quickly after use.

5. Do not place items on top of the cabinet. The top of

the cabinet gets very hot, so anything placed on it may

be damaged by the heat.

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 con-

densation 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.

 Do not force the turntable to rotate by hand.

This may cause malfunctioning.

 Arcing in the oven during microwave operation

usually occurs from use of metallic utensils.

Continuous arcing, however, can damage the

unit. Stop the programme and check the uten-

sil.

 Care should be taken not to obstruct any air

vents located on the top, rear, side and bottom

of the oven.

Do not use this oven for commercial purposes.

The oven must always be clean. Residue of food from

spill-overs or spatters will absorb microwave energy

causing it to burn on. This could reduce the efficiency of

the oven and may cause unpleasant odours. Do not

attempt to tamper with or make any adjustments or

repairs to any part of the oven. Repairs should only be

made by an authorised service engineer.

Be sure the oven is off or the unit is unplugged

before cleaning.

Cleaning the accessories

(turnable, support and rack)

Clean them with mild detergent after removing them

from the cavity. The turntable support should be care-

fully handled.

The inside of the oven and turntable get very

hot, so do not touch them immediately after use.

Cleaning the interior

Soilage that is allowed to remain on the oven walls, door

seal and door surface will absorb microwave energy,

reduce the efficiency of the oven, and possibly damage

the oven interior.

Use mild, liquid detergent, warm water and a soft, clean

cloth to remove soilage. NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEA-

NERS, COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS OR STEEL

WOOL PADS ON ANY PART OF THE MICROWAVE

OVEN.

To loosen difficult soilage, boil a cup of water in the

microwave oven for 2 or 3 minutes. NEVER USE A

KNIFE OR ANY UTENSIL TO REMOVE SOILAGE FROM

OVEN SURFACES.

To remove odours from the oven interior, boil a cup of

water plus 2 tablespoons of lemon juice for 5 minutes.

Cleaning the exterior

Open the oven door when cleaning the control panel.

This will prevent the oven from being turned on acci-

dentally. You should clean outside surfaces of the oven

with mild liquid detergent and water followed by a wiping

with clear water to remove any excess detergent. Dry

with a soft cloth. Pay special attention to the door seal

and front of the cavity which must be kept clean at all

times. If these surfaces are damaged because of exces-

sive soiling, call in a specialised technician before using

your microwave oven.

Spray-on window cleaners or all purpose spray-on kit-

chen cleaners can also be used. Never use abrasive

cleaners, scouring pads or harsh chemicals on outside

surfaces of your oven. To prevent damage to the wor-

king parts, do not allow water to seep into ventilation

openings.

1. Remove any promotion label from the door.

2. This oven can be used as a free standing oven or

built-in, into a kitchen cabinet using kit number BF

246. To install the oven in a kitchen cabinet follow the

instructions supplied with the building-in kit.

The oven should be installed on a flat, level surface. The

surface must be strong enough to safely bear the

weight (18 kg) of the oven, and the contents. To avoid

the possibility of causing vibration or noise the oven

must be in a stable position.

3. Keep the oven away from heat and water. Exposure to

heat and water can lower oven efficiency and lead to

malfunctioning, so be sure to install the oven away

from heat and water sources.

. Do not block air vents on the top and the sides of the

cabinet and also do not place any articles on the top

of the oven. A gap all around the oven is necessary :

140 mm above the oven and any objects, 50 mm on

the sides and 100 mm behind 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 cur-

tains come between the oven and the rear wall.

5. Place the oven as far away from radios and TVs as

possible. This oven does conform to EEC require-

ments* of radio interference suppression, but some

interference may occur if it is placed too close to a

radio or TV, so keep them as far apart as possible.

6. If positioned in a corner, leave a gap of at least

5 cm from the right side wall.

IMPORTANT! The oven can be placed almost

anywhere in the kitchen. Make sure the oven is

placed on a flat, level surface and that vents as

well as the surface underneath the oven are not blocked

(for sufficient ventilation).

Electrical connections

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

The manufacturer declines any liability

should this safety measure not be observed.

f the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not suitable

for your socket outlet, it must be cut off and the appro-

priate plug fitted.

Remove the fuse from the cut off plug. The cut off

plug should then be disposed of to prevent the hazard

of shocks in case it should be plugged into a 13 Amp

socket in another part of your home.

IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance

with the following code:

GREEN AND YELLOW EARTH

BLUE NEUTRAL

BROWN LIVE

If you fit your own plug, the colours of the wires in the

mains lead of your appliance may not correspond with

the markings identifying the terminals in your plug,

proceed as follows:

Connect the green and yellow (earth) wire to the termi-

nal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or the

earth symbol ( ) or coloured green and yellow.

Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the

plug which is marked with the letter N or coloured

black.

Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug

which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

Build-in model

To install the appliance in a kitchen cabinet, use the

appropriate mounting frame. Note the relevant instruc-

tions for installation and connection. When building in to

a high cabinet, you may use the liftdoor. Note the rele-

vant information for installation and connection given in

the operating instructions of the lift door.

Warning !

Never operate the microwave oven with the lift door

closed. Such operation would damage your appliance

and invalidate the guarantee.

Connect to a plug socket with protective earth contact

and fused with a 13 A-L automatic device or 13 A slow-

blowing fuse. When the oven is installed, there must be

a possibility of disconnecting it from mains with a

contact break of at least 3 mm on all poles.

sion.

Connecting to the mains

The oven is delivered with the power cord and a plug for

240 V, 50Hz, earthed socket outlet.

Earth protection minimizes the risks should a short-cir-

cuit occur. Check to ensure the voltage of the oven mat-

ches the supply.

N.B. If the oven is connected to the socket via an exten-

sion cord, make sure the cord is earthed.

Thi

s applianc

e must not be used on a nonearth

protected power supply. Contact an electrician if

you are uncertain regarding electrical connection

of the oven or provision of earth protection of the

supply.

This appliance must be earthed. If this appli-

ance is fitted with a non-rewirable plug for which

your socket is unsuitable, the plug should be

cut off and the appropriate plug fitted. If it is

necessary to change the fuse in a nonrewirable

plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse

cover is lost or damaged, the plug must not be

used until a replacement is obtained.
