Cut into foods with fillings (e.g. jam doughnuts) to release heat or steam.


How should food be arranged for even cooking in the ELECTROLUX LMSD253TM microwave oven?

Place the thickest parts of food towards the outside of the dish (e.g. chicken drumsticks).


What type of cover should be used when cooking in the ELECTROLUX LMSD253TM microwave oven?

Use vented microwave cling film or a suitable lid.


What must be done to foods with a shell, skin or membrane before cooking or reheating in the ELECTROLUX LMSD253TM microwave oven?

Foods with a shell, skin or membrane must be pierced in several places before cooking or reheating as steam will build up and may cause food to explode (e.g. potatoes, fish, chicken, sausages).

IMPORTANT! Eggs should not be heated using microwave power as they may explode, even after cooking has ended (e.g. poached, hard boiled).


How should food be stirred, turned, and rearranged for even cooking in the ELECTROLUX LMSD253TM microwave oven?

For even cooking it is essential to stir, turn and rearrange food during cooking. Always stir and rearrange from the outside towards the centre.


Why is standing time necessary after cooking in the ELECTROLUX LMSD253TM microwave oven?

Standing time is necessary after cooking to enable the heat to disperse equally throughout the food.


How can warm areas in food be shielded during microwave cooking in the ELECTROLUX LMSD253TM?

Warm areas can be shielded with small pieces of foil, which reflect microwaves (e.g. legs and wings on a chicken).


What precautions should be taken when removing food from the ELECTROLUX LMSD253TM microwave oven?

Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing food from the oven to prevent burns.

Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands to avoid steam burns.

Always stand back from the oven door when opening to avoid burns from escaping steam and heat. Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release steam and avoid burns.


What should be done if the fan on the ELECTROLUX LMSD253TM microwave oven stays on for 3 minutes after cooking ends?

If the oven operates in any mode for 2 minutes or longer, the fan will stay on for 3 minutes after the cooking ends.
