Federal Communications Commission Radio Frequency Interference Statement (U.S.A. Only)
This equipment generates and uses ISM frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is in strict accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception. It has been type tested and found to comply with limits for ISM Equipment pursuant to part 18 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined byturning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following:
o Reorient the receiving antenna of the radio or television.
Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver. Move the microwave oven away from the receiver. Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that the microwave oven and the receiver are on different branch

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.
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.
Your microwave oven is rated 1000 watts by using the [EC Test Procedure. In using recipes or package directions, check
food a minute or two before the minimum time and add time accordingly.
ABOUT FOOD
ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
Arrange food carefully. Placethickest areastowards 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 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.
- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
- Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
FOOD DO DON'T
Eggs, sausages, nuts, seeds,
fruits & vegetables
Popcorn Use specially bagged popcorn for microwave cooking. Pop popcorn in regular brown bags or glass bowls.
Baby food Transfer baby food to small dish and heat carefully,
General
Puncture egg yolks before cooking to prevent
"explosion".
Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash, hot dogs and sausages so that steam escapes.
Listen while popping corn for the popping to slow Exceed maximum time on popcorn package.
to 1 or 2 seconds or use special popcorn pad.
stirring often. Check temperature before serving. Put nipples on bottles after heating and shake
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.
Heat disposable bottles. Heat bottles with nipples on. Heat baby food in original jars.
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.
ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS
It is notnecessary to buy all new cookware, Many piecesalready 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
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. As with any appliance, close supervision by an adult is
necessary when used by children.
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 20 for Child Lock feature.
ABOUT SAFETY
+Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States
Department of Agriculture's recommended temperatures,
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 microwave 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.
Microwave 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 piecesof aluminum foilplacedsmoothly onthe food can be
usedto shield areas that 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.
TEIvIP FOOD
145°F - For beef, lamb or veal cut into steaks, chops or
(63oc) roasts, fish
160°F - For fresh pork, ground meat, seafood, egg dishes,
(71°C) frozen prepared food and beef, lamb or veal cut into
steaks, chops or roasts
165°F - For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, dell and
(74°C) carry out "fresh" food, whole chicken or turkey,
chicken or turkey breasts and ground poultry used in chicken or turkey burgers
Do not cook whole, stuffed poultry. Cook stuffing separately to 165°F.
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 oven 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 microwave 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 microwave 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.
