GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. This oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a ground-

ing plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance

with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. In the event of an electrical short circuit,

grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

Electrical Requirements

The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp. or

more protected electrical supply. It is recommended that a separate

circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged

into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded. Should you

only have a 2-prong outlet, have a qualified electrician install a correct

wall receptacle.

A 3-prong adapter may be purchased and used temporarily if local codes

allow. Follow package directions.

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of becoming

entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION

CORD. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician

or serviceperson install an outlet near the appliance.

NOTES:

1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instruc-

tions, consult a qualified electrician or serviceperson.

2. Neither Electrolux nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage

to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the

correct electrical connection procedures.

Radio or TV Interference

Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven to your radio or TV, check that the micro-

wave oven is on a different electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far away from the oven as feasible

or check position and signal of receiving antenna.

About your oven

This Use and Care Guide is valuable: read it carefully

and always save it for reference.

A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset.

Check it for microwave cooking principles, tech-

niques, 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 oven. The turntable will

turn both clockwise and counterclockwise.

ALWAYS have food in the Microwave Oven when it

is on to absorb the microwave energy.

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 oven

About microwave cooking

• 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.

• Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cook-

book 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.

• Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or

twice during cooking, if possible.

• Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed

cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburg-

ers. Large items like roasts must be turned over

at least once.

• 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 oven and

stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which

allows the food to finish cooking without overcook-

ing.

• Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that

cooking temperatures have been reached.

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.

Information You Need To Know

to be warm to the touch when cooking or reheating.

Condensation is a normal part of microwave cook-

ing. Room humidity and the moisture in food will

influence the amount of moisture that condenses in

the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as

much condensation as uncovered ones. Ventilation

openings must not be blocked.

The Microwave Oven is for food preparation only. It

should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.

Your Microwave Oven is rated 1100 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.

E

8

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.

The child must be able to reach the oven comfortably;

if not, he/she should stand on a sturdy stool.

At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing

on the oven door.

About children and the microwave

About safety

• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the

United States Department of Agriculture’s recom-

mended temperatures.

Temp Food

160˚F For fresh pork, ground meat, bone-

less white poultry, fish, seafood, egg

dishes and frozen prepared food.

165˚F For leftover, ready-to-reheat refriger-

ated, and deli and carry-out “fresh”

food.

170˚F White meat of poultry.

180˚F Dark meat of poultry.

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 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 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 food-

borne bacteria.

• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can

cause arcing and/or fires.

• Use care when removing items from the 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.

Information You Need To Know

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.

Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one

cooking skill he/she can cook everything.

Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not

a toy. See page 24 for Child Lock feature.

About food

Food Do Don't

Eggs,

sausages,

nuts, seeds,

fruits &

vegetables

• Puncture egg yolks before cooking to

prevent “explosion”.

• Pierce skins of potatoes, apples,

squash, hot dogs and sausages so that

steam escapes.

• Cook eggs in shells.

• Reheat whole eggs.

• Dry nuts or seeds in shells.

Popcorn

• Use specially bagged popcorn for

microwave cooking.

• Listen while popping corn for the

popping to slow to 1 or 2 seconds or use

special popcorn pad.

• Pop popcorn in regular brown bags

or glass bowls.

• Exceed maximum time on popcorn

package.

Baby food

• Transfer baby food to small dish and

heat carefully, stirring often. Check

temperature before serving.

• Put nipples on bottles after heating and

shake thoroughly. “Wrist” test before

feeding.

• Heat disposable bottles.

• Heat bottles with nipples on.

• Heat baby food in original jars.

General

• Cut baked goods with filling after heat-

ing to release steam and avoid burns.

• Stir liquids briskly before and after

heating to avoid “eruption”.

• Use deep bowl, when cooking liquids

or cereals, to prevent boilovers.

• Heat or cook in closed glass jars or

air tight containers.

• Can in the microwave as harmful

bacteria may not be destroyed.

• Deep fat fry.

• Dry wood, gourds, herbs or wet

papers.

About utensils and coverings

reheating and absorbing fat while cooking bacon.

• Wax paper can be used for cooking and

reheating.

• Plastic wrap that is specially marked for micro-

wave 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.

• 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.

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 oven.

Should you have questions about utensils or cover-

ings, 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 ther-

mometer will assist you in determining correct done-

ness and assure you that foods have been cooked to

safe temperatures. Electrolux is not responsible for

any damage to the oven when accessories are used.

It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many

pieces already in your kitchen can be used suc-

cessfully in your new Microwave Oven. Make sure

the utensil does not touch the interior walls during

cooking.

Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking

and reheating:

• glass ceramic (Pyroceram

®

), such as

Corningware

®

.

• heat-resistant glass (Pyrex

®

)

• microwave-safe plastics

• paper plates

• microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain

• browning dish (Do not exceed recommended

preheating time. Follow manufacturer's directions.)

These items can be used for short time reheating

of foods that have little fat or sugar in them:

• wood, straw, wicker

DO NOT USE

• metal pans and bakeware

• dishes with metallic trim

• non-heat-resistant glass

• non-microwave-safe plastics (margarine tubs)

• recycled paper products

• brown paper bags

• food storage bags

• metal twist-ties

Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for

microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven and

microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish which

becomes very hot should not be used.

The following coverings are ideal:

• Paper towels are good for covering foods for

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.

You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previ-

ously 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.

For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the

rule of thumb is approximately 4 minutes per pound.

Sensor Modes

The sensor is a semi-conductor device 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.

Using Sensor Modes:

1. After oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before

using Sensor Modes.

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.

3. The oven works with foods at normal storage

temperature. For example, popcorn would be at

room temperature.

4. Any Sensor Modes selection can be programmed

with More or less time adjustment. See page 25.

5. More or less food than the quantity listed in the

chart should be cooked following the guidelines

in any microwave cookbook.

6. During the first part of any sensor cooking or reheat-

ing, food name will appear on the display. Do

not open the oven door or press STOP/CLEAR

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.

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.

7. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when

popping 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. Follow the

instructions.

8. Check food for temperature after cooking. If addi-

tional time is needed, continue to cook manually.

9. Each food has a cooking hint. Press user pref pad

when the HELP indicator is lighted in the display.

Covering Foods:

Some foods cook better when covered. Use the cover

recommended in the food charts.

1. Casserole lid.

2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for

microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow

approximately

1

/2 inch to remain uncovered to

allow steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not

touch food.

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.

Be careful when removing any covering to allow

steam to escape away from you.
