IMPORTANT SAFETY 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 inÀ uence 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 IEC 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. 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 spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
Shield with small À at 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 ¿ nish 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 À akes easily with a fork.
FOOD
Eggs, sausages, nuts, seeds, fruits & vegetables
Popcorn
Baby food
General
DO
Puncture egg yolks before cooking to prevent
“explosion”.
Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash, hot dogs
and sausages so that steam escapes.

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.
Transfer baby food to small dish and heat carefully,
stirring often. Check temperature before serving.
Put nipples on bottles after heating and shake
thoroughly. “Wrist” test before feeding.
Cut baked goods with ¿ lling 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.
DON’T
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 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS
It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces already 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
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.
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 10 for Child Lock feature.
ABOUT SAFETY
Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States
Department of Agriculture’s recommended temperatures.
TEMP FOOD
145°F (63°C)
160°F (71°C)
165°F (74°C)
- For beef, lamb or veal cut into steaks, chops or roasts, ¿ sh
- For fresh pork, ground meat, seafood, egg dishes, frozen prepared food and beef, lamb or veal cut into steaks, chops or roasts
- For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, deli and carry out “fresh” food, whole chicken or turkey, chicken or turkey breasts and ground poultry used in chicken or turkey burgers
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 À at 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 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.
NOTE
Do not cook whole, stuffed poultry. Cook stuf¿ ng 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 overcooki
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 ¿ res.
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.

Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones. Pieces similar in size and shape will cook more evenly when cooked together. For more even results, reduce the power levels when cooking large pieces of food.
Natural moisture
Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave energy heats water molecules very efficiently.
Stirring
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetable from the outside to the center to distribute the heat more evenly. This will allow the food to cook faster. Constant stirring is not necessary.

Turn over items
Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts or whole cauliflower halfway through the cook time. This will help to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.
Food placement
t
Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the turntable tray.
t
Food arrangement
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable tray.
t
Let the food stand
After removing the food from the microwave, cover the food with foil or a casserole lid and let it stand to finish cooking. This will help the food finish in the center and avoids overcooking the out edges, The length of stand time depends on the density and surface area of the food items.
t
Wrapping in paper towels or waxed paper
Sandwiches and many other food types containing pre­baked bread should be wrapped prior to placing in the microwave to help prevent the food items from drying out while heating.
