This appliance must be grounded. This oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a ground-
ing 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.
WA_N_NG Improper use of the grounding plug can result in arisk of electric shock.
Electrical Requirements
The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. DO
NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE
THE GROUNDING PIN FROM THE PLUG.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electri-
cian or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
The Power Supply Cord and plug must be connected to
a separate 120 "Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15 Amp, or more branch
circuit, single grounded receptacle. The receptacle should
be located inside the cabinet directly above the Microwave
Oven mounting location as shown in Figure 1.
NOTES:
1. tf you have any questions about the grounding or electri-
cal instructions, consult a qualified electrician or service
person.
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.

About Your Oven
This Use and Care Guide is valuable: read it carefully
and always save it for reference.
NEVER use the 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 oven at power levels below 100%,
you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It
is normal for the exterior of the oven to be warm to
the touch when cooking or reheating.
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. Cov-
ers prevent spattering and help foods to cook
evenly.
• Shield with small flat pieces ofaiuminum foil any
thin areas of meat or poultry to prevent over-
cooking before dense, thick areas are cooked
thoroughly.
o 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.
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 1000 watts by using
the IEC Test Procedure. tn using recipes or package
directions, check food a minute or two before the
minimum time and add time accordingly.
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
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.

About Safety
+ Check foods to see that they are cooked to the
United States Department of Agriculture's recom-
mended temperatures.
1450F
(63°C)
1650F
(74°C)
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.
For beef, lamb or veal cut into steaks
chops or roasts
MEDIUM RARE
For leftover, ready-to-reheat refriger-
ated, dell and carry out "fresh" food,
whole chicken or turkey, chicken or
turkey breasts and ground poultry
used in chicken or turkey burgers,
boneless white poultry.
NOTE: Do not cook whole, stuffed
poultry. Cook stuffing sepa-
rately to 1650F.
ALWAYS use pothotders 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 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.
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 comfort-
ably; 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.
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 27 for Child Lock feature.

About Utensils and Coverings
It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many
pieces already in your kitchen can be used success-
fully in your new Over the Range 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
Co rningwa re®.
heat-resistant glass (Pyrex®)
microwave-safe plastics
paper plates
o microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and
porcelain
o 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
tood storage bag s
o 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 micro-
wave 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.
o 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 Over the Range
Microwave Oven:
o 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 cover-
ings, 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 cor-
rect 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.
