IS equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a
grounding 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.
mproper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk
of electric shock.
Electrical Requirements
Check Installation Instructions for proper location for the
power supply.
The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC
only, 15 amp. or more protected electrical supply. Itis
recommended that a separate circuit serving only the
microwave oven be provided.
The microwave oven is equipped with a 3-prong
grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle
that is properly installed and grounded. DO NOT
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE
GROUNDING PIN FROM THE PLUG.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
If the power supply cord is too short, have a quali fied
electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
The Power Supply Cord and plug must be connected to
a separate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15 Amp, or more branch
circuit, single grounded receptacle. The receptacle
should be located inside the cabinet directly above the

This Use and Care Manual 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, technigues, 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 23 for complete
instructions.
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 microwave oven to be warm to the touch
when cooking or reheating.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room
humidity and the moisture in food will in fluence 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.
The microwave oven is for food preparation only. It should not
be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your microwave oven is rated 900W 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

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 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.
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 hamburgers. 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 microwave oven and
stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allows the food
to finish cooking without overcooking.
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.

tis IS non necessary to buy alin new cookware. > Many pieces s 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.
Use these utensils for safe microwave
cooking and reheating:
* glass ceramic (Pyroceranf), such as Corningware”.
* heat-resistant glass (Pyrex”)
* Microwave-safe plastics
* paper plates
* Mmicrowave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain
* browning dish (Do not exceed recommended preheating time.
Follow manufacturers 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 microwave oven and microwave on HIGH for
30 seconds. A dish which becomes very hot should not be used.
e
e
e
e
e
e
e
e
The following coverings are ideal:
* Paper towels are good for covering foods for reheating and
absorbing fat while cooking bacon.
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.
e
e
e
e
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.
Children below the age of 7 should use > then microwave over 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.
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.
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 20 for Child Lock feature.
. Check foods à to see that they are cooked to the United States
Department of Agriculture's recommended temperatures.
TEMP FOOD
145% - For beef, lamb or veal cut into steaks, chops or
(63°C) roasts, fish
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
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 hi ken or turkey bur
Do not cook whole, stuffed poultry. Cook stuf fing
separately to 165°F.
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
guality and minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.
+ Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing
and/or fires.
e
* 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.

soften from the heat of the food.
Paper:
Papertowls, waxed paper, paper napkins
and paper plates with no metallic trim or
design. Look for the manufacturer's label
for any special instructions for use in the
microwave oven.
Metal utensils:
Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces uneven
cooking. Also, avoid metal skewers, thermometers or foil trays. Metal
utensils can cause arcing, which can damage your microwave oven.
Metal decoration:
Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters without metallic trim.
Aluminum foil:
Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking and
may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry
legs and wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the side
walls of the oven cavity and door of the microwave.
Wood:
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when
you use them in the microwave oven. Baskets made of wood will react
in the same way.
Tightly covered utensils:
Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered
cookware. Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items
before cooking. Tightly closed pouches may explode.
Brown paper:
Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb heat and can burn.
Flawed or chipped cooking utensils:
Any utensil that is cracked, flawed or chipped may break in the oven.
Metal twist ties:

Suggestions for getting
the best results
To help you achieve the best possible results from your
microwave oven, read the following suggestions below;
* Storage temperature
Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to
cook than the same foods would at room temperature.
* Size
Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones. Pieces
similar in size and shape will cook more evenly when
cooked together. For more even results, reduce the
power levels when cooking large pieces of food.
* Natural moisture
Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave
energy heats water molecules very efficiently.
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetable from the
outside to the center to distribute the heat more evenly.
This will allow the food to cook faster. Constant stirring is
not necessary.
Turn over items
Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts or whole
cauliflower halfway through the cook time. This will help
to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.
* Food placement
Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus
tips, toward the center of the turntable tray.
* Food arrangement
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces
or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts toward the
outside of the turntable tray.
+ Let the food stand
After removing the food from the microwave, coverthe
food with foil or a casserole lid and let it stand to finish
cooking. This will help the food finish in the center and
avoids overcooking the out edges, The length of stand
time depends on the density and surface area of the food
items.
« Wrapping in paper towels or waxed paper
Sandwiches and many other food types containing pre-
baked bread should be wrapped prior to placing in the
microwave to help prevent the food items fro drying out
while heating.
Using Ready Set
Microwave heating or cooking may be quickly set at 100%
power level for 1, 2 or 3 minutes. Use the number keys 1, 2
or 3 to choose the desired minutes of cook time (this option
will only work using the 1, 2 or 3 numeric pads):
Example: to quickly heat for 2 minutes at 100% power:
Touch number pads 1, 2 or 3 for desired
minutes of cook time.
Note: the Ready Set function cannot be set when using the
Defrost (by weight) feature.
Exhaust High / Low / Off
The exhaust ventilation moves steam and other cooking
vapors from the cooking surface of the range below the
microwave oven.
To operate the exhaust vent, Touch the
Exhaust High/Low/Off pad once for the
highest speed setting. Touch the pad again to
choose the Low speed setting and a 3rd time
to turn the exhaust ventilation off.

3. Press START/+30sec. pad.
When heating has finished you will hear beeps.
Note: Power levels cannot be changed for both defrost (by
weight) or defrost (by time) because the defrost performance
will be adversely affected.
Special notes for defrosting by time
* After pressing START key, the display will
count down remaining defrosttime. The oven will beep
twice during the defrost cycle. At this time open the door
and turn the food if needed and remove any portions that
have already thawed. Touchthe START key to
resume the defrost cycle.
* When heating has finished you will hear beeps.
Defrosting tips
When using the defrost weight feature, the weight
entered should always be pounds (valid entries are from
0.110 6.0 pounds).
+
Use both defrost weight and defrost time features for
raw food items only. Defrosting gives best results when
food to be thawed is a minimum of 0°F (taken directly
from a true freezer). If the food has been stored in a
refrigerator-freezerthatdoes not maintain a temperature
of 5° F or below, always program a lower food weight or
lower cook time to prevent cooking the food.
If the frozen food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20
The shape of the package will alter the defrosting time.
Shallow rectangular food packets defrost more quickly
than a deep frozen block of food.
Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated
frozen pieces of food defrost better.
Shield warm areas of food with small pieces of foil if they
start to become warm.
You may use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield food
items like chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails, but do
not allow the foil to touch the oven cavity walls when

There are ten temperatures of convection: 100F,150F,
250F, 275F,300F,325F,350F,375F, 400F,425F.
Convection cooking uses a heating element to raise the
temperature of the air inside the oven. Any oven temperature
from 100°F to 425°F may be set. A fan gently circulates this
heated air throughout the oven, over and around the food,
producing golden brown exteriors and rich, moist interiors.
Because the heated air is kept constantly moving, not
permitting a layer of cooler air to develop around the food,
some foods cook faster than in regular oven cooking.
For Best Results...
Always use the shelf when convection cooking.
Reduce package/recipe temperature 25°F for baked goods.
The shelf is required for good air circulation and even

* Place meat on a trivet in a glass dish to collect juices
and prevent spattering.
* For best roasting and browning results, whole roasts
should be cooked in a glass dish placed directly on the
oven shelf,
*% For foods that are too tall to fit in the oven, you can
leave out the trivet. If necessary, you may take out the
shelf and place the dish directly on the turntable.
Convection Cooking
* Use the round wire rack during convection baking.

Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and pies
because they absorb heat and produce crisper crust.
Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies or
muffins because these pans reflect heat and help
produce a light tender crust.

Cleaning suggestions
For best performance and for safety reasons, keep the oven
clean inside and outside. Take special care to keep the
inner door panel and oven fron frame free of food and grease
build-up.
Never use rough scouring powder or pads on the
microwave. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out with a
soft cloth and and warm (not hot) mild detergent solution.
Then rinse and wipe completely dry.
Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel,
especially after cooking greasy foods like chicken or bacon.
Clean your microwave oven weekly or more often, if needed.
Follow these instructions to clean and care for your
microwave oven:
» Keep the inside (cavity) of the oven clean. Food particles
and spilled liquids can stick to the oven walls, causing
the oven to work less efficiently.
* Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp, clean cloth
and mild soap. DO NOT use harsh detergents or
abrasive cleaners.
* To help loosen baked-on food particles or liquids, heat 2
cups of water (add the juice of 1 lemon if you desire to
keep the oven fresh smelling) in a 4 cup measuring glass
at High power for 5 minutes or until boiling. Let stand in
oven cavity for 1 or 2 minutes.
* Remove the glass turntable tray from the oven when
cleaning the oven cavity or tray. To prevent the glass
turntable from breaking, handle with care and do not put
it in water immediately after cooking. Wash the turntable
tray in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher.
* Clean the outside surface of the microwave with soap
and a clean damp cloth. Dry with a clean soft cloth. To
prevent damage to the operating parts of the oven, do not
let water seep into any vents or openings.
* Wash the oven door window with very mild soap and
water. Be sure to use a soft clean cloth to avoid
scratching.
If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door,
wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accumulate when
operating the oven in high humidity and in no way
indicates microwave leakage.
Never operate the oven without food in the oven cavity;
this can damage the magnetron tube or glass tray. You
may wish to leave a cup of water standing inside the oven
when itis notin use to prevent damage if the oven is
accidentally turned on.
