PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE
EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY
(a) 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.
(b) Do not place any objec t between the oven front face a nd the door or allow soil o r cleaner
residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
(c) 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.
(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properl y qualified servic e
When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure
to excessive microwave energy:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. Read and follow the specific “PRECA UTIONS TO

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. This ov en 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 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 p lug 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. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical 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.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
About Your Oven
7
This Use and Care Guide is valuable: read it carefully
and always save it for reference.
NEVER use the oven without the turntable and
suppor t nor turn the tur ntable over so that a la rge
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 of f. 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. Covers prevent spat tering 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.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. 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 10 50 watts by using
the IEC T est Procedure. In using recipes or package
directions, che ck 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 cookin g without
overcooking.
• Check for donenes s. 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.

To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in

unless it is approved for microwave use.

NOTE: Do not cook whole, stuffed
poultry. Cook stuffing separately to 165°F.
• ALWAYS use potho lde rs to prevent burns when
handling utensils that are in contact with hot f ood.
Enough heat from the food can transfer through
utensils to cause skin burns.
• Av oid 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 cavit y for storing co okbooks o r
other items.
• Select, store a nd handle food carefully to pre serve its high quality and minimize the spread of
foodborne bacteria.
• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue c an
cause arcing and/or fires.
• Use care when removing items from the oven so
that the utensil, your clothes or ac cessor ies do
not touch the safety door latches.
• Keep aluminum foil use d 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 age s of 7 and 12, the
supervising person should be in the same room.
The child must be able to reac h the oven comfor tably; 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 mic rowave oven is
not a toy. See page 32 for Child Lock feature.

• 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

• 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 sp eci ally ma rked for mic rowave use can be used for cooking and reheating.
DO NOT allow plastic wra p 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.

How to use aluminum foil in your Over the Range
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.
• F oil should not come closer than one inch to any
surface of the oven.
Should you hav e questions about ut ensils or cov er ings, check a goo d microwave cookbook o r follow
recipe suggestions.
Accessories
There are many microwave accessories available for
purchase. Evaluate carefull y 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 fo r any damage to the oven when
accessories are used.
