SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

This Use and Care Manual 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 microwave 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 microwave oven to be warm to the touch when cooking or reheating.

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 microwave 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. All microwave ovens are rated by using the [EC Test Procedure as 1200 watts, except for CPM0209 and CGIVlO205which are 1100 watts. In using recipes or package directions, check food a minute or two before the minimum time and add time accordingly.

ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING

- Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.

o 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 fiat 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 the center of

the dish to the outside.

Add standing time. Remove food from microwave 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.

- Neat and poultry show no pinkness.

- Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

ABOUT FOODS

Eggs, sausages, nuts, seeds, fruits

& vegetables

Popcorn

Baby food - Transfer baby food to small dish and heat carefully, _ Heat disposable bottles.

General

ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS

]t is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces

already in your kitchen can be used successfully in your new microwave oven. Hake sure the utensil does not touch the

interior walls during cooking.

Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking and reheating:

=Glassceramic (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 mlcrowaving, place the empty dish in the microwave oven and microwave

on HTGHfor 30 seconds. A dish which becomes very hot should not be used.

- Puncture egg yolks before cooking to prevent "explosion".

o Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash, hot

Use specially bagged popcorn for microwave cooking. Listen while popping corn for the popping to slow

to 1 or 2 seconds or use special popcorn pad.

stirring often. Checktemperature before serving. - Heat bottles with nipples on.

Put nipples on bottles after heating and shake - Heat baby food in original jars.

thoroughly. "Wrist" test before feeding.

- Cut baked goods with filling after heating to release steam and avoid burns.

Stir liquids briskly before and after

heating to avoid "eruption".

Use deep bowl, when cooking liquids

or cereals, to prevent boilovers.

Cook eggs in shells. Reheat whole eggs.

- Dry nuts or seeds in shells.

Pop popcorn in regular brown

bags or glass bowls.

- Exceed maximum time on popcorn package.

Heat or cook in closed glass

jars or air tight containers.

- Can in the microwave as harmful bacteria may not be destroyed.

Deep fat fry.

- Dry wood, gourds, herbs or wet papers.

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. Plasticwrap 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.

Lidsthat 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 fiat pieces of aluminum foil placed smoothly on the food can be usedto shield areasthat are either defrosting or

cooking too quickly.

• Foil should not come closer than one inch to any surface of

the microwave 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 microwave oven when accessories are used.

ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE HICROWAVE

Children below the age of 7 should usethe 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.

At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the microwave 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 21 for Child Lock feature.

ABOUT SAFETY

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 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%.

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 microwave 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

microwave 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.

SENSOR COOKING

Electrolux's 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 Cooking:

1. After microwave oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using SENSORCOOKING settings.

2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the microwave oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.

3. The microwave oven works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, rice would be at

room temperature.

4. Any Sensor Cooking selection can be programmed with MORE OR LESSTIME ADJUSTMENT. See page

22.

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 Sensor Cooking, food name will appear on the display. Do not open the microwave oven door or press STOP/clear during this part of

the cooking 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, ERRORwill be displayed. Follow the

instructions.

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

9. INSTANT SENSORand SENSOR REHEATcan only be entered within 3 minutes after cooking, opening and closing the door or pressing the STOP/clear pad.

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

Covering Foods:

Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover recommended in the food charts.

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.
