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 flat 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 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.
• 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.
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 flakes easily with a fork.

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, fish
(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 fing
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 flat 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 fires.
• 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
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.

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
and the tips toward the center.
Cooking seafood in your microwave
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.
