GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. This oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
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. Should you
only have a 2-prong outlet, have a qualified electrician install a correct
wall receptacle.
A 3-prong adapter may be purchased and used temporarily if local codes
allow. Follow package directions.
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 electrician
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.
Radio or TV Interference
Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven to your radio or TV, check that the microwave oven is on a different electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far away from the oven as feasible
or check position and signal of receiving antenna.

About your oven
Information You Need To Know
7
This Use and Care Guide 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 oven. The turntable will
turn both clockwise and counterclockwise.
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 oven
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 flat 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
to be warm to the touch when cooking or reheating.
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 Microwave Oven is for food preparation only. It
should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your Microwave Oven is rated 1100 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.
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 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 flakes easily with a fork.

Information You Need To Know
About safety
• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the
United States Department of Agriculture’s recommended temperatures.
Temp Food
160˚F For fresh pork, ground meat, bone-
less white poultry, fish, seafood, egg
dishes and frozen prepared food.
165˚F For leftover, ready-to-reheat refriger-
ated, and deli and carry-out “fresh”
food.
170˚F White meat of poultry.
180˚F 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.
• 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 preserve
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.
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.
The child must be able to reach the oven comfortably;
if not, he/she should stand on a sturdy stool.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing
on the oven door.
E
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 24 for Child Lock feature.

Information You Need To Know
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 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.
• 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 flat 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 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 oven when accessories are used.

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.
E
Sensor Modes
15
The sensor is a semi-conductor device 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.
Using Sensor Modes:
1. After oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before
using Sensor Modes.
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 Modes selection can be programmed
with More or less time adjustment. See page 25.
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 any sensor cooking or reheating, food name will appear on the display. Do
not open the oven door or press STOP/CLEAR
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. Follow the
instructions.
8. Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, continue to cook manually.
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 inactivate the
oven during cleaning.
27
Exterior
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
Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth
to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be
easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a damp
cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners
as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.
Stainless Steel Trim-Kit
Cleaners which are marked specifically for use with
stainless steel may be used for stainless steel trim-kit.
Follow package directions exactly. Avoid the use of
any harsh cleaners or one not marked for stainless
steel use as they may stain, streak or dull surface.
Touch Control Panel
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 press
STOP/CLEAR.
The waveguide cover is made from mica so requires
special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to
assure good 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 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 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.
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.
