The Thoughtful Design Innovator.
Do you remember the last time you opened a gift that made you say
“Oh! How did you know? That’s exactly what I wanted!” That’s the kind of
feeling that the designers at Electrolux seek to evoke in everyone who
chooses or uses one of our products. We devote time, knowledge, and a
great deal of thought to anticipating and creating the kind of appliances
that our customers really need and want.
This kind of thoughtful care means innovating with insight. Not design for
design’s sake, but design for the user’s sake. For us, thoughtful design
means making appliances easier to use and tasks more enjoyable to
perform, freeing our customers to experience that ultimate 21st century
luxury, ease of mind. Our aim is to make this ease of mind more available to
more people in more parts of their everyday lives, all over the world. So when
we say we’re thinking of you, you know we mean just that.
The “Thinking of you” promise from Electrolux goes beyond meeting the
needs of today’s consumers. It also means we’re committed to making
appliances safe for the environment – now and for future generations.
Electrolux. Thinking of you.

Overview

3. Maintenance Features

This document describes the Electrolux E:line built-in microwave oven, model EMC2867BI, a versatile appliance designed for domestic use, offering a range of cooking functions including microwave, grill, convection, and various combinations.

Function Description

The microwave oven serves as a multi-functional cooking solution, allowing users to prepare a wide variety of dishes. Its primary functions include:

• Microwave Cooking: This is the core function, enabling rapid heating and cooking of food using microwave energy. The appliance offers multiple power levels, allowing for precise control over the cooking process, from boiling liquids at 100% power to keeping food warm at 10%.
• Grill Cooking: The grill function provides direct heat for browning and crisping food. Users can place food on a dedicated grill rack, with a non-metal plate underneath to catch drippings, ensuring cleaner operation. For optimal grilling results, the appliance suggests turning food over halfway through the cooking time, indicated by a buzzer.
• Convection Cooking: This function operates like a traditional oven, circulating hot air to cook food evenly without using microwave power. It allows for preheating to a desired temperature, which is maintained for a set period. If the oven door is not opened after preheating, the appliance will automatically switch off.
• Combination Cooking: The oven offers pre-set combinations of microwave, grill, and convection cooking, providing flexibility for different recipes. These combinations allow for efficient cooking that leverages the strengths of each heating method.
• Defrost by Weight/Time: This feature simplifies defrosting by allowing users to input the weight of the food or a specific defrosting time. The appliance provides guidance on best practices for defrosting, such as separating food, turning large items, and removing packaging to ensure thorough and even thawing.
• Auto Cook: The auto cook function includes a selection of pre-set recipes, designed to automatically determine the appropriate cooking mode, power level, and time for various food items like fish, soup, meat, bread, pizza, cake, pasta, chicken, vegetables, and potatoes. This simplifies meal preparation by taking the guesswork out of cooking settings.
• Auto Reheat: Similar to auto cook, this function offers pre-set modes for reheating different types of food with specific microwave power levels and times, ensuring food is heated evenly and efficiently.
• Quick Start: For immediate cooking, the quick start function allows users to initiate microwave cooking at 100% power for 30-second intervals with a single button press.
• Delayed Start: This feature enables users to program a cooking cycle to begin at a later time, offering convenience for meal planning.
• Child Lock: A safety feature that locks the control panel, preventing accidental operation by children. It is activated and deactivated by pressing and holding the 'stop/clear' button for three seconds.

Usage Features

The Electrolux E:line microwave oven is designed for user-friendly operation with several features enhancing its usability:

• Control Panel: The intuitive control panel includes mode selection buttons, an adjustment knob, and a display panel that shows cooking time, power level, mode, and the time of day.
• Turntable System: The appliance comes with a glass tray and turntable ring assembly, which must always be used during cooking to ensure even heating. Food and containers should be placed directly on the glass tray.
• Clock Setting: Users can set the 12-hour or 24-hour clock, which is displayed when the appliance is not in use.
• Inquiring Function: During cooking, users can check the current power level or the time when a delayed start program will begin by pressing specific buttons.
• Tips and Information: The manual provides extensive tips for optimal use, such as using round or oval casseroles with lids, covering food, stirring or turning food for even cooking, and allowing standing time after cooking for better results. It also offers advice on specific tasks like softening honey, melting chocolate, softening butter, freshening bread, peeling garlic, and extracting more juice from citrus fruits.
• Humidity Management: After a cooking cycle, the oven fan may continue to operate for a few minutes to vent out humidity, preventing condensation on the stainless steel frame. Opening the door immediately after the cycle will stop the fan and vent the humidity.

Maintenance Features

Maintaining the cleanliness and safety of the microwave oven is crucial for its longevity and performance. The manual outlines clear maintenance guidelines:

• General Cleaning: The appliance should be cleaned regularly, and any food deposits or spills should be removed promptly. Failure to maintain cleanliness can degrade the surface and affect operational safety.
• Interior Cleaning: The inside of the oven should be wiped with mild, liquid detergent, warm water, and a soft, clean cloth. Harsh abrasive cleaners, commercial oven cleaners, or steel wool pads should never be used on any part of the oven.
• Grill Element Cleaning: The grill element may become stained with spattered fat or oil. These stains should be wiped off once the cavity cools down to prevent unpleasant odors and smoke during subsequent use.
• Exterior Cleaning: The outside surfaces should be cleaned with mild liquid detergent and warm water, followed by a clean water wipe and a soft cloth. Window cleaners or all-purpose kitchen cleaners can also be used, but care must be taken to prevent water from seeping into ventilation openings. The door should be open when cleaning the control panel to avoid accidental activation.
• Accessory Cleaning: The glass tray and turntable support should be cleaned with mild detergent. The turntable motor is sealed, but care should be taken to avoid water penetrating under the turntable spindle during cleaning.
• Odor Removal: To eliminate odors from the oven interior, users can boil a cup of water with two tablespoons of lemon juice for five minutes.
• Safety Precautions: Users are reminded to disconnect the oven from the electricity supply before cleaning. Steam cleaners should not be used. Any repairs or adjustments should only be carried out by a qualified service technician.

This Electrolux E:line microwave oven is designed to offer a comprehensive and convenient cooking experience, supported by clear instructions for both operation and maintenance, ensuring safe and efficient use in any household.
