precautions should be followed to reduce the risk
of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or
exposure to excessive microwave energy:

• READ ALL instructions before using the appli-

ance.

• READ AND FOLLOW the specific “PRECAU-

TIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” on page 4.

• This appliance must be grounded. Connect only

to properly grounded outlet. See "GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS" found on page 5.

•

Install or locate this appliance only in accordance
with the provided installation instructions.

•

Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers - for example, closed jars - are able to

•

Use this appliance ONLY for its intended use as
described in this manual. DO NOT use corrosive
chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type of
oven is specifically designed to heat, cook or dry
food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory
use.

•

As with any appliance, CLOSE SUPERVISION is
necessary when used by CHILDREN or INFIRM
PERSONS.

•

DO NOT operate this appliance if it has a damaged
cord or plug, if it is not working properly or if it has
been damaged or dropped.

•

This appliance, including power cord, must be
serviced ONLY by qualified service personnel.
Contact nearest Electrolux Authorized Servicer for
examination, repair or adjustment.

•

DO NOT cover or block any vents or openings on
the oven.

•

DO NOT store or use this appliance outdoors. DO
NOT use this product near water—for example, near

a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming
pool, or similar locations.

•

Safety

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.

WARNING

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 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.

Information You Need To Know

About your oven

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 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 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.

• A LWAYS 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 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 Convection Microwave Oven is for food prepa­ration 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.

Auto Cook

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 34.

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 touch 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, touch
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. Except for popcorn, if the sensor does not
detect vapor properly when cooking other foods,
ERROR will be displayed.

8. Check food for temperature after cooking. If addi­tional time is needed, continue to cook manually.

9. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch user pref
pad when the HELP indicator is lighted in the
display.

COVERING FOODS:

Some foods cook better when covered. Use the
cover recommended in the food charts.

1. Casserole lid.

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.

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 , you need
to defrost manually.

You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previ­ously cooked, by using Power level 3. Follow the
exact 3-step procedure found under Time cooking
on page 13. Estimate defrosting time and touch 3
for 30% when you select the power level.

For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the
rule of thumb is approximately 5 minutes per pound.
For example, defrost 5 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 3 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.

Beverage

With the exception of those foods that cook best by

to mix cooking using either fast bake or fast roast.

The marriage of these two cooking methods
produces juicy meats, moist and tender cakes and
fine textured breads, all with just the right amount
of browning and crispness.

Helpful hints for convection
fast bake and fast roast
cooking

Your Convection Microwave Oven can cook any
food perfectly because of the number of ways it
can cook: microwave only, fast bake, fast roast or
convection only. This Use & Care Guide tells you
how to program the oven.

The oven cannot be used without the turntable in
place. Never restrict the movement of the turntable.

CONVECTION COOKING:

1. When preheating, the turntable can be left in or
removed. When using the high rack for 2 shelf
baking in a preheated oven, it is easier to remove
the turntable for preheat.

Place high rack on turntable along with foods.
When preheat is over, open oven door and quickly
place turntable, high rack and foods to be baked
inside.

2. Do not cover turntable, low rack or high rack
with aluminum foil. It interferes with air flow that
cooks food.

3. Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils
for many convection-only items. Choose pans
that do not have extended handles.

4. Using a preheated low rack can give a grilled
appearance to steaks, hot dogs etc.

FAST BAKE, FAST ROAST COOKING:

1. Meats are best when roasted directly on the low
rack. A dish can be placed below the meat if gravy
is to be made from the drippings.

2. Less tender cuts of meat can be roasted and
tenderized using oven cooking bags.

3. When baking, check for doneness after time has
elapsed. If not completely done, let stand in oven
a few minutes to complete cooking.

NOTE

1. During fast baking some metal baking utensils
may cause arcing when they come in contact
with the turntable, oven walls or accessory
racks. Arcing is a discharge of electricity that
occurs when microwaves come in contact
with metal.

2. If arcing occurs, place a heat resistant dish
(Pyrex® pie plate, glass pizza dish or dinner
plate) between the pan and the turntable or
rack. If arcing occurs with other metal baking
utensils, discontinue their use for fast bake
or fast roast cooking.

Cleaning and Care

Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or leave the door open to inactivate the

oven during cleaning.

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.

TOUCH CONTROL PANEL

Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control
panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open the
Convection Microwave Oven door before cleaning.
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
touch STOP/CLEAR.

INTERIOR — AFTER MICROWAVE COOKING

Cleaning is easy because no 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.

INTERIOR — AFTER CONVECTION, MIX OR

BROIL COOKING

Spatters may occur because of moisture and grease.
Wash immediately after use with hot, soapy water.
Rinse and polish dry. Harder to remove spatters may
occur if oven is not thoroughly cleaned or if there is
long time/high temperature cooking. If so, you may
wish to purchase an oven cleaner pad with liquid
cleaner within it — not a soap filled steel pad for use
on stainless steel or porcelain surfaces.

Follow manufacturer's directions carefully and
be especially cautious not to get any of the liquid
cleaner in the perforations on the wall or ceiling or
any door surfaces.

Rinse thoroughly and polish dry.

After cleaning the interior thoroughly, residual grease
may be removed from the interior ducts and heater

by s i mpl y o p er a t i ngtheovenon4 5 0 ˚Ffor20minutes

without food. Ventilate the room if necessary.

WAVEGUIDE COVER

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/
RACKS

The turntable, turntable support and racks can be
removed for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild,
sudsy water; for stubborn stains use a mild cleanser
and a non-abrasive scouring sponge. They are also
dishwasher-proof. Use top rack of dishwasher for
turntable support.

Foods with high acidity, such as tomatoes or lemons,
will cause the porcelain enamel turntable to discolor.
Do not cook highly acidic foods directly on the
turntable; if spills occur, wipe up immediately.

The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess
water or spills should not be allowed to stand in
this area.

E

Service Call Check
