• Review the door cleaning instructions on page 32.
• DO NOT mount over asink.
• DO NOT store anything directly on top of the
appliance surface when the appliance is inoperation.
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
• DO NOT overtook food. Carefully attend
to appliance when paper, plastic or other

Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea are able to be
overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing
to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the
container is removed from the Convection Microwave

INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
• DO NOT overheat the liquid.
• Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating it.
• DO NOT use straight-sided containers with narrow
necks. Use a wide-mouthed container.
• After heating, allow the container to stand in the
Convection Microwave Oven at least for 20 seconds
before removing the container.

Warning and Important Instructions appearing in this guide are not meant to cover all possible conditions
and situations that may occur. Common sense, caution and care must be exercised when installing,
maintaining or operating a microwave.
ALWAYS contact your dealer, distributor, service agent or manufacturer about problems or conditions
you do not understand.
Recognize Safety Symbols, Words, Labels
WARNING -- Hazards or unsafe practices which
COULD result in severe personal injury or death.
CAUTION -- Hazards or unsafe practices which
COULD result in minor personal injury.
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE
EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
CROWAVE ENERGY
Adhere to the following precautions:
• DO NOT attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result
in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety
interlocks.
• DO NOT place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue
to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
• DO NOT operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close
properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) door (bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken or
loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces.
• The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Electrical Requirements
The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp. or more protected electrical supply. It
is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is
properly installed and grounded.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electri-
cian or serviceperson install an outlet near the appliance.
NOTES:
1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician
or serviceperson.
2. Neither Electrolux nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury
resulting from failure to observe the correct electrical connection procedures.

:::::: Inform ation You Need To Know
About your oven
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
This Use and Care Guide is valuable: read it carefully
and always save it for reference.
NEVER use the Convection Microwave Oven
without the turntable and support nor turn the
turntable over so that a large dish could be placed
in the oven. The turntable will turn both clockwise
and counterclockwise.
ALWAYS have food in the Convection Microwave
Oven when it is on to absorb the microwave energy.
When using the Convection Microwave Oven at
power levels below 100%, you may hear the mag-
netron cycling on and off. It is normal for the exterior
of the oven to be warm to the touch when cooking
or reheating.
About safety
• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the
United States Department of Agriculture's recom-
mended temperatures.
165°F For leftover, ready:to,reheat refriger_
ated, and deli and carry:ou t !'fresh"
food.
180iF Dark meat of poultrY: ....
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 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.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cook-
ing. Room humidity and the moisture in food will
influence the amount of moisture that condenses in
the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as
much condensation as uncovered ones. Ventilation
openings must not be blocked.
The Convection Microwave Oven is for food prepa-
ration only. It should not be used to dry clothes or
newspapers.
Your Convection Microwave Oven is rated 900 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.
• 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 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 pre-
serve its high quality and minimize the spread of
foodborne bacteria.
• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can
cause arcing and/or fires.
• Use care when removing items from the 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.

iii i! ! ! ! i ! ! i!iiiiiiiiiiii!iii!!!i!ii!ill:I
• 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 foodsto cook evenly. •
• Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any
thin areas of meat or poultry to prevent over- •
cooking 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 oven
and stir, if possible. Cover for standing time
which allows the food to finish cooking without
overLooking.
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 flakes easdy with a fork
