IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN  
This Use and Care Manual is valuable: read it carefully and  
always save it for reference.  
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.  
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 in 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.  
• 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 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.  
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  
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.  
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.  
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.  
• glass ceramic (Pyroceram® ), such as Corningware® .  
• heat-resistant glass (Pyrex® )  
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.  
• 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 stuf ng  
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.  
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.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
How to use aluminum foil in your  
microwave oven:  
Small at pieces of aluminum foil placed smoothly on the food can be  
• Stay near the microwave oven while it’s in use and check  
cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of  
overcooking food.  
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.  
• NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other items.  
Should you have questions about utensils or coverings, check a  
good microwave cookbook or follow recipe suggestions.  
• Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high  
quality and minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.  
ACCESSORIESThere 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.

MANUAL COOKING  
Heating with multiple cooking stages  
Suggestions for getting  
the best results  
To help you achieve the best possible results from your  
microwaveoven,readthefollowingsuggestionsbelow;  
For best results, some microwave recipes call for different  
power levels or different lengths of time for cooking. Your  
microwave may be set to change from one stage to another  
automatically (2 stages maximum).  
Storage temperature  
Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to  
cook than the same foods would at room temperature.  
Example: to cook food for 3 minutes at 80% power and  
then 50% power for 6 minutes 30 seconds:  
1. Press Micro Cooktime .  
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.  
2. Use the number pads to enter  
heating time for the 1st stage (cook  
time may be set up to 99 minutes  
and 99 seconds).  
Natural moisture  
Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave  
energy heats water molecules very efficiently.

3. Press Power Level pad once.  
Stirring  
4. Use the number keys to enter power  
level for the 1st stage. PL8 appears  
in the display (80 % power).  
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.  
5. Press Micro Cooktime pad for  
stage.

Turn over items  
6. Use the number pads to enter  
heating time for the 2nd stage (cook  
time may be set up to 99 minutes  
and 99 seconds).  
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.

8. Use the number key to enter power  
level for the 2nd stage. PL5 appears  
in the display (50 % power).  
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  
When heating has finished you will hear beeps .  
Afterremovingthefoodfromthemicrowave,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.  
Note:  
Power level must always be programmed for first  
stage - 100% =10.  
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  
whileheating.

MANUAL COOKING  
Defrosting tips  
When using the defrost weight feature, the weight  
entered should always be pounds (valid entries are from  
0.1 to 6.0 pounds).  
The shape of the package will alter the defrosting time.  
Shallow rectangular food packets defrost more quickly  
than a deep frozen block of food.  
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-freezerthatdoesnotmaintainatemperature  
of 5° F or below, always program a lower food weight or  
lower cook time to prevent cooking the 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  
defrosting.  
If the frozen food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20  
minutes, enter a reduced cook time or weight.  
Defrosting suggestions for meats  
For best results, please read these suggestions when defrosting meats.

COOKING CHARTS  
Cooking vegetables in your microwave  
Vegetables should be washed just before cooking.  
Rarely is extra water needed. If dense vegetables such  
as potatoes, carrots and greens are being cooked, add  
about ¼ cup of water.  
When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with  
a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap.  
Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, squash,  
eggplant, etc., should have their skin pricked in several  
locations before cooking to prevent them from bursting.  
Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.)  
will cook faster than larger vegetables.  
For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole  
vegetables halfway through the cook time.  
Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or  
corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the  
turntable before cooking. The will cook more evenly if  
turnedoverhalfwaythroughcooking.  
Most of the time, the denser the food the longer the  
required standing time. For example, a baked potato  
should stand for 5 minutes before serving, while a dish of  
peas may be served immediately.  
Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli  
with the stem ends pointing towards the edge of the dish

Place fish on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish. Be sure to always cook fish until it flakes easily  
with a fork. Use a tight cover to steam fish; a lighter cover of wax paper or paper towel provides less steaming. And be sure  
not to overcook fish; check it for doneness at a minimum cooking time before cooking longer.
