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. The turntable will turn both clockwise and counterclockwise. See page 26 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 infl 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 • Pop popcorn in regular brown bags or glass bowls.

• Exceed maximum time on popcorn package.

Baby food

General

• 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.

• 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 disposable bottles.

• Heat bottles with nipples on.

• Heat baby food in original jars.

• 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 23 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 stuffi 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

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

See page 25.

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.

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.

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

Sensor Settings.

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 Settings selection can be programmed with

More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 24.

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 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.

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, and the oven will turn off.

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.

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.

CLEANING AND CARE

Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or leave the door open to deactivate the oven during cleaning.

EXTERIOR

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.

DOOR

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.

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.

INTERIOR

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.

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.

ODOR REMOVAL

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.

TURNTABLE/TURNTABLE SUPPORT

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.

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.

4. Rinse thoroughly and shake dry.

5. Replace by fitting the filter back into the opening.
