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 23 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 at 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 inuence 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 nish 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 akes easily with a fork.  
ABOUT FOOD

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 20 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, sh  
(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 stufng  
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 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.  
• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing  
and/or 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.

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.  
When the defrost time is complete, cooking completion  
signal will beep and END will appear in the display.  
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.  
Using the Rack  
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.  
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.

SENSOR COOKING  
SENSOR COOKING applies to the following selections: Sensor  
Cook, Snack Menu, Popcorn, Vegetables, Baked Potato,  
Sensor Reheat.  
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.  
NOTES for SENSOR COOKING  
Using Sensor Settings:  
1. After oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using

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 tem-  
perature. For example, popcorn would be at room  
temperature.  
More or less than the quantity listed in the chart  
should be cooked following the guidelines in any  
microwave cookbook.  
4. Any Sensor Settings selection can be programmed with  
More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 21.  
4. The 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.  
5. When sensor detects the vapor emitted from the  
foods, manipulation message or remaining cooking  
time will be displayed.  
6. Stay near the oven while it’s in use and check  
cooking progress frequently so that there is no  
chance of overcooking food.

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.  
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.  
overheat and cause smoke or possibly catch fire. DO NOT  
REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER.  
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.  
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.  
DOOR  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
TOUCH CONTROL PANEL  
Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel.  
If the control panel becomes soiled, open the microwave  
oven door before cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth  
dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth.  
Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close  
door and touch Clear/Off.  
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.  
INTERIOR  
5. Replace by fitting the filter back into the opening.  
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
