ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

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, 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.

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 fl uence 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 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.

ABOUT FOOD

FOOD

Eggs, sausages, nuts, seeds, fruits & vegetables

DO

• Puncture egg yolks before cooking to prevent

“explosion”.

• Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash, hot dogs and sausages so that steam escapes.

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 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 fl at 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 fi nish 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 fl akes easily with a fork.

DON’T

• 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 • Heat disposable bottles.

• Heat bottles with nipples on.

• Heat baby food in original jars.

General

• 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.

• Cut baked goods with fi lling after heating 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

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.

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 microwave 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 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.

How to use aluminum foil in your microwave oven:

• Small fl at 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.

ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE

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.

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.

ABOUT SAFETY

• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States

Department of Agriculture’s recommended temperatures.

TEMP FOOD

145°F

(63°C)

- For beef, lamb or veal cut into steaks, chops or roasts, fi sh

160°F

(71°C)

- For fresh pork, ground meat, seafood, egg dishes, frozen prepared food and beef, lamb or veal cut into steaks, chops or roasts

165°F

(74°C)

- For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, deli and carry out “fresh” food, whole chicken or turkey, chicken or turkey breasts and ground poultry used in chicken or turkey burgers

NOTE

Do not cook whole, stuffed poultry. Cook stuf fi ng 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 quality and minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.

• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing and/or fi res.

• 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

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.

Avoid:

• Storing the rack in the microwave oven when not in use.

• Popping popcorn with the rack in the microwave oven.

• Using any browning dish on the rack.

• Using SENSOR COOKING and AUTO COOKING with the rack.

• Cooking directly on the rack—use microwave-safe cookware.

NOTE

DO NOT STORE THE RACK IN THE

MICROWAVE WHEN NOT IN USE.

NOTE

Turntable on/off function can be used in Manual Operation.

See page 28.

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 22-23), you need to defrost manually.

You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using power level for 30%.

For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is approximately 4 minutes per pound. For example, 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.

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.

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.

Using Sensor Settings:

1. 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.

2. The oven works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, popcorn would be at room temperature.

3. More or less food than the quantity listed in the chart should be cooked following the guidelines in any microwave cookbook.

4. During the first part of SENSOR COOKING, food name will appear in 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.

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 in the display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as desired.

5. 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, AN ERROR

CODE will be displayed, and the oven will turn off.

6. Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, continue to cook manually.

Covering Foods:

Some foods cook better when covered.

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.

NOTES for SENSOR COOKING

1. The fi nal cooking result will vary according to the food condition (e.g. initial temperature, shape, quality). Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, continue to cook manually.

2. Stay near the oven while it’s in use and check cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food.

3. When SENSOR COOKING is selected Turntable

On is automatically set for optimum cooking.

You can cook foods by pressing the sensor cook pad multiple times. You don’t need to calculate cooking time or power level.

Using Auto Defrost

The auto defrost feature provides you with the best defrosting method for frozen foods. The cooking guide will show you which defrost sequence is recommended for the food you are defrosting.

For added convenience, the Auto Defrost includes a built-in beep mechanism that reminds you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange the food in order to get the best defrost results. Three different defrosting levels are provided:

1. MEAT

2. POULTRY

3. FISH

Available weight is 0.1-6.0 lbs

Operating Tips

v

For best results, remove fish, shell fish, meat and

poultry from its original closed paper or plastic

package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will hold

steam and juice close to the foods, which can

cause the outer surface of the foods to cook.

v

For best results, roll your ground meat into a ball

before freezing. During the DEFROST cycle, the

microwave will signal when it is time to turn the

meat over. Scrape off any excess frost from

the meat and continue defrosting.

v

Place foods in a shallow container or on a

microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.

This table shows food type selections and the weights you can set for each type. For best results, loosen or remove covering on food.

Defrosting Tips

v

When using Auto Defrost, the weight to be entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds (the weight of the food minus the container).

v twist-ties that often come with frozen food bags, and replace them with strings or elastic bands.

Open containers, such as cartons, before placing in the v

The length of defrosting time varies according to how solidly the food is frozen.

v

The shape of the package affects how quickly food will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than a deep block.

v

As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces.

Separated pieces defrost more easily.

v

Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging.

v

If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place food in a suitable container.

v

Slit the skin of skinned food, such as sausage.

v

Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even defrosting.

v

Always underestimate defrosting time. If defrosted food is still icy in the center, return it to the microwave oven for more defrosting.

v Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails, or areas that start to get warm. Make sure the foil does not touch the sides, top, or bottom of the oven. The foil can damage the oven lining.

v For better results, let food stand after defrosting. v

Turn over food during defrosting or standing time.

Break apart and remove food as required.
