6Groundin Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. This oven isequipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a ground-
ing 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. Inthe 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 Convection Microwave Oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding
plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed
and grounded. Should you only have a 2-prong outlet, have a qualified
electrician install a correct wall receptacle.
A 3-prong adapter may be purchased and used temporarily if local codes
allow. Follow package directions.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of becoming entangled
in or tripping over a longer cord.
EXTENSION CORD
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension
cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will
accept the plug on the Convection Microwave Oven. The marked rating of
the extension cord should be AC 115-120 volt, 15 amp. or more.

that the Convection Microwave Oven is on a different electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far
away from the oven as feasible or check position and signal of receiving antenna.

Information You Need To Know 7
ABOUT YOUR OVEN
This Use and Care Guide is valuable: read it care-
fully and always save it for reference.
NEVER use the 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 oven at power levels below 100%,
you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cook-
ing. 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. Vents
on the oven back must not be blocked.
After using convection, automatic mix or broil, you
will hear the sound of the cooling fan. The fan may
continue to operate as long as 5 minutes, depend-
ing on the oven temperature.
Be aware that, unlike microwave-only ovens,
convection microwave ovens have a tendency to
become hot during convection, automatic mix and
broil cooking.
The oven is for food preparation only. It should not
be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your microwave output is rated 900 watts using the
IEC Test Procedure. In using recipes or package
directions, check food at the minimum time and
add time accordingly.
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 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.
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 cooking without
overcooking.
Check for doneness. Look for signs indicat-
ing 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.

8Information You Need To Know
ABOUT CHILDREN
Children below the age of 7 should use the
Convection 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.
The child must be able to reach the oven comfort-
ably; 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.
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 Convection Micro-
wave Oven is not a toy. See page 27 for Safety
Lock feature.
ABOUT FOOD

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 when
using microwave-only cooking.
Electrolux is not responsible for any damage to the oven when accessories are used.

Information You Need To Know 11
ABOUT SPEED COOKING AND
The oven cabinet, cavity, door, accessories and
dishes will become hot. To PREVENT BURNS,
use thick oven gloves when removing the food
or turntable from the oven.
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.
CONVECTION COOKING
• Do not cover turntable, low rack or high rack
with aluminum foil. It interferes with air flow that
cooks food.
• Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils
for many items. Choose pans that do not have
extended handles.
• Using a preheated low rack can give a grilled
appearance to steaks and hot dogs.
ABOUT SAFETY
• Check foods to see that they are cooked to
the United States Department of Agriculture's
recommended temperatures.
TEMP FOOD
160°F Forfresh pork, ground meat, boneless
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 aloneness, 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.
• 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 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 pre-
serve 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 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.

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. Estimate defrosting time and press
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.

Microwave Features 17
SENSOR COOKING
The Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects
the vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from food
as it heats. The sensor adjusts the cooking times
and power level for various foods and quantities.
USING SENSOR SETTINGS
1. After oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before
using sensor settings.
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. Reheat and Popcorn can only be entered within
1 minute after cooking, opening and closing the
door or touching the STOP/CLEAR pad.
4. During the first part of sensor cooking, the food
name will appear on the display. Do not open
the oven door or touch 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 cook-
ing, touch the STOP/CLEAR pad and select
cooking time and variable power.
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.
5. Check food for temperature after cooking. If
additional time is needed, continue to cook
with variable power and time. If food is not
completely cooked, enter additional cooking
time manually. Do not press Sensor Cook again
or food may overcook.
6. 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
using sensor reheat, ERROR will be displayed,
and the oven will turn off.
7. Any Sensor Cooking mode can be programmed
with More or Less Time Adjustment. See
page 28.
8. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch HELP
when the HELP indicator is lighted in the
display.
SELECTING FOODS
1. The sensor works with foods at normal storage
temperature. For example, food for dinner plate
reheat would be at refrigerator temperature and
popcorn at room temperature.
2. Foods weighing less than 3 ounces should be
reheated by time and variable power.
COVERING FOODS
Some foods work best when covered. Use the
cover recommended in the chart for these foods.
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.
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.
You can reheat many foods by touching just one
pad. You don't need to calculate reheating time or
power level.
• Suppose you want to heat prepared chili.
PROCEDURE
Touch REHEAT. REHEAT
When sensor detects the vapor emitted from the
food, remainder of reheating time will appear.
