IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
This Use and Care Manual is valuable: read it carefully and
always save it for reference.
•
Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of
time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely
overcooked can smoke or ignite.
A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for
microwave cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes.
NEVER use the microwave oven without the turntable and
support nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could
be placed in the microwave oven. The turntable will turn both
clockwise and counterclockwise. See page 26 for complete
instructions.
•
Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for
suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic wrap or
a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
• Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any thin areas
of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking before dense, thick
areas are cooked thoroughly.
ALWAYS have food in the microwave oven when it is on to
absorb the microwave energy.
• Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during
cooking, if possible.
When using the microwave oven at power levels below 100%,
you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is normal
for the exterior of the microwave oven to be warm to the touch
when cooking or reheating.
• Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking
of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like
roasts must be turned over at least once.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room
humidity and the moisture in food will influence the amount
of moisture that condenses in the microwave oven. Generally,
covered foods will not cause as much condensation as
uncovered ones. Ventilation openings must not be blocked.
• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking
both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to
the outside.
• Add standing time. Remove food from microwave oven and
stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allows the food
to finish cooking without overcooking.
The microwave oven is for food preparation only. It should not
be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
• Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking
temperatures have been reached.
Your microwave oven is rated 1000 watts by using the IEC
Test Procedure. In using recipes or package directions, check
food a minute or two before the minimum time and add time
accordingly.
Doneness signs include:
- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
- Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
- Poultry thigh joints move easily.
- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
- Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS
ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE
It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces already in your
kitchen can be used successfully in your new microwave oven. Make
sure the utensil does not touch the interior walls during cooking.
Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave oven with
a supervising person very near to them. Between the ages of 7
and 12, the supervising person should be in the same room.
As with any appliance, close supervision by an adult is
necessary when used by children.
Use these utensils for safe microwave
cooking and reheating:
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the
microwave oven door.
Children should be taught all safety precautions: use
potholders, remove coverings carefully, pay special attention to
packages that crisp food because they may be extra hot.
• glass ceramic (Pyroceram®), such as Corningware®.
• heat-resistant glass (Pyrex®)
• microwave-safe plastics
• paper plates
Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one cooking
skill he/she can cook everything.
• microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain
• browning dish (Do not exceed recommended preheating time.
Follow manufacturer’s directions.)
Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not a toy. See
page 23 for Child Lock feature.
These items can be used for short time reheating
of foods that have little fat or sugar in them:
• wood, straw, wicker
ABOUT SAFETY
• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States
Department of Agriculture’s recommended temperatures.
DO NOT USE
TEMP
FOOD
• metal pans and bakeware
• dishes with metallic trim
• non-heat-resistant glass
• non-microwave-safe plastics (margarine tubs)
• recycled paper products
• brown paper bags
145°F - For beef, lamb or veal cut into steaks, chops or
roasts, fish
(63°C)
160°F - For fresh pork, ground meat, seafood, egg dishes,
(71°C) frozen prepared food and beef, lamb or veal cut into
steaks, chops or roasts
• food storage bags
• metal twist-ties
165°F - For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, deli and
(74°C) carry out “fresh” food, whole chicken or turkey,
chicken or turkey breasts and ground poultry used
in chicken or turkey burgers
Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place
the empty dish in the microwave oven and microwave on HIGH for
30 seconds. A dish which becomes very hot should not be used.
The following coverings are ideal:
NOTE
• Paper towels are good for covering foods for reheating and
absorbing fat while cooking bacon.
Do not cook whole, stuffed poultry. Cook stuffing
separately to 165°F.
• Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheating.
• Plastic wrap that is specially marked for microwave use can
be used for cooking and reheating. DO NOT allow plastic
wrap to touch food. Vent so steam can escape.
• Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choice because heat
is kept near the food to hasten cooking.
• Microwave oven cooking bags are good for large meats or
foods that need tenderizing. DO NOT use metal twist ties.
Remember to slit bag so steam can escape.
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick
or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the
thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved
for microwave oven use.
• ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when handling
utensils that are in contact with hot food. Enough heat from
the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin burns.
• Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and
hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dish’s covering and carefully
open popcorn and oven cooking bags away from the face.
• Stay near the microwave oven while it’s in use and check
cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of
overcooking food.
• NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other items.
• Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high
quality and minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.
How to use aluminum foil in your
microwave oven:
•
Small flat pieces of aluminum foil placed smoothly on the food can be
used to shield areas that are either defrosting or cooking too quickly.
• Foil should not come closer than one inch to any surface of
the microwave oven.
Should you have questions about utensils or coverings, check a
good microwave cookbook or follow recipe suggestions.
ACCESSORIES There are many microwave accessories available
for purchase. Evaluate carefully before you purchase so that they
meet your needs. A microwave-safe thermometer will assist you
in determining correct doneness and assure you that foods have
been cooked to safe temperatures. Electrolux is not responsible
for any damage to the microwave oven when accessories are used.
• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing
and/or fires.
• Use care when removing items from the microwave oven so
that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not touch the
safety door latches.
• Keep aluminum foil used for shielding at least 1 inch away
from walls, ceiling and door.

Using the Rack
To Set Power Level
The rack allows several foods to be cooked or reheated at
one time. However, for the best cooking and reheating, use
Turntable ON function and cook with SENSOR COOKING or
AUTO COOKING without the rack. When the rack is used, set
time and power level manually. Allow plenty of space around
and between the dishes. Pay close attention to the cooking
and reheating progress. Reposition the foods and reverse
them from the rack to turntable and/or stir them at least
once during any cooking or reheating time. After cooking
or reheating, stir if possible. Using a lower power level will
assist in better cooking and reheating uniformity.
There are eleven preset power levels.
Using lower power levels increases the cooking time which
is recommended for foods such as cheese, milk and long
slow cooking of meats. Consult cookbook or recipes for
specific recommendations.

MANUAL COOKING
Manual Defrost
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the
Defrost chart or is above or below the limits in the Amount
column on the Defrost chart (see page 22), you need to
defrost manually.
defrost 4 minutes for 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.
Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate
the portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at
the end of the estimated defrosting time, program the oven
in 1 minute increments on power level 30% until totally
defrosted.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously
cooked, by using power level for 30% Follow the exact
3-step procedure found under To set power level. Estimate
defrosting time and press power level pad eight times for
30% power.
When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only
long enough to remove from the plastic in order to place in
a microwave-safe dish.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of
thumb is approximately 4 minutes per pound. For example,
SENSOR COOKING
Sensor cooking has an electronic controlled sensor that
detects the vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from the
food as it heats. The sensor adjusts the cooking times and
power level for various foods and quantities automatically.
7. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when pop-
ping popcorn, the oven will turn off, and the correct time
of day will be displayed. If the sensor does not detect
vapor properly when cooking other foods, ERROR will
be displayed, and the oven will turn off.
Using Sensor Settings:
1. After oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using
Sensor Settings.
8. Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional
time is needed, continue to cook manually.
9. Each food has a cooking hint. Press the user pref pad
when the HELP indicator is lighted in the display.
2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the
interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with
a dry cloth or paper towel.
Covering Foods:
3. The oven works with foods at normal storage tem-
perature. For example, popcorn would be at room
temperature.
Some foods cook better when covered. Use the cover
recommended in the food charts.
1. Casserole lid.
4. Any Sensor Settings selection can be programmed with
More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 24.
2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for microwave
1
cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow approximately /2 inch
to remain uncovered to allow steam to escape. Plastic
wrap should not touch food.
5. More or less food than the quantity listed in the chart
should be cooked following the guidelines in any micro-
wave cookbook.
3. Wax paper: Cover dish completely; fold excess wrap
under dish to secure. If dish is wider than paper, overlap
two pieces at least one inch to cover.
6. During the first part of SENSOR COOKING, food name will
appear on the display. Do not open the oven door or press
the STOP clear pad during this part of the cycle. The
measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this occurs,
an error message will appear. To continue cooking, press
the STOP clear pad and cook manually.
Be careful when removing any covering to allow steam to
escape away from you.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the
food, remainder of cooking time will appear. Door may
be opened when remaining cooking time appears on
the display. At this time, you may stir or season food,
as desired.

Turntable on/off
Turntable off function is useful when a rack or a large
casserole which stop the turntable's rotating are used, for
example lasagne or meat. Reposition the foods and/or stir
them at least once during any cooking or reheating time. After
cooking or reheating, stir if possible. Using a lower power level
will assist in better cooking or reheating uniformity.
Fan
The fan will automatically start when heat rises from range
surface units or burners. This protects the Over the Range
Microwave Oven from excessive temperature rise. The fan
will stay on until the temperature decreases. It cannot be
turned off manually during this time.
Turntable on/off function can be used in Manual Cooking and
keep warm in AUTO COOKING. When Turntable on is set,
Turntable is turned and when Turntable off is set, Turntable
is stopped. When SENSOR COOKING and AUTO COOKING
are selected, Turntable on is automatically set for optimum
cooking.
For other uses, press the vent hi/lo/off pad once for high
speed, twice for low speed and three times to turn off.
Turntable on/off can be set during Manual Cooking and
cooking programming by pressing the turntable on/off
pad.

CLEANING AND CARE
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or
leave the door open to deactivate the oven during cleaning.
EXTERIOR
ODOR REMOVAL
The outside surface is precoated steel and plastic. Clean
the outside with mild soap and water; rinse and dry with
a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive
cleaner.
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the microwave
oven. To remove, combine 1 cup water, grated peel and juice
of 1 lemon and several whole cloves in a 2-cup glass measuring
cup. Boil for several minutes using 100% power. Allow to set in
microwave oven until cool. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.
DOOR
TURNTABLE/TURNTABLE SUPPORT
Disconnect the power cord or deactivate the oven with
setting Child Lock before cleaning to prevent unexpected
manipulation. See Child Lock on page 23. Wipe the window
on both sides with a soft cloth to remove any spills or
spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped
frequently with a soft cloth. Avoid the use of spray and
other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the
door surface.
The turntable and turntable support can be removed for easy
cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy water; for stubborn stains
use a mild cleanser and non-abrasive scouring sponge. They
are also dishwasher-proof. Use upper rack of dishwasher. The
turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills
should be wiped up immediately.
GREASE FILTERS
Filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never operate
the fan or microwave oven without the filters in place.
EASY CARE™ STAINLESS STEEL
(SOME MODELS)
Your microwave oven finish may be made with Easy Care™
Stainless Steel (some models). Clean the stainless with warm
soapy water using a clean sponge or cloth. Rinse with clean
water and dry with a soft clean cloth. DO NOT use ANY store
bought cleaners like Stainless Steel cleaners or any other
types of cleaners containing any abrasive, chlorides, chlorines
or ammonia. It is recommended to use mild dish soap and
water or a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar.
1. Pull down slightly on the tab toward the front of the
microwave oven and remove the filter. Repeat for the
other filter.
2. Soak the filters in a sink or dish pan filled with hot water
and detergent. DO NOT use ammonia or other alkali;
they will react with the filter material and darken it.
3. Agitate and scrub with a brush to remove embedded
dirt.
INTERIOR
4. Rinse thoroughly and shake dry.
Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to the
interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and setting
of spills or spattering. To clean the interior surfaces, wipe
with a soft cloth and warm water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE
OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier
soil, use baking soda or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with
hot water. The rack can be cleaned with hot soapy water,
rinsed and dried.
5. Replace by fitting the filter back into the opening.

WAVEGUIDE COVER
The waveguide cover is located on the ceiling in the
microwave oven cavity. It is made from mica so requires
special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure
good microwave oven performance. Carefully wipe with
a damp cloth any food spatters from the surface of the
cover immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes may
overheat and cause smoke or possibly catch fire. DO NOT
REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER.
