COULD result in minor personal injury.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE

EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE

CROWAVE ENERGY

Adhere to the following precautions:

•DO NOT attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result

in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety

interlocks.

• DO NOT place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue

to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

• DO NOT operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close

properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) door (bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken or

loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces.

• The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

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 electri-

cian 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.

:::::: Inform ation You Need To Know

About your oven

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

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 mag-

netron cycling on and off. It is normal for the exterior

of the oven to be warm to the touch when cooking

or reheating.

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. Ventilation

openings must not be blocked.

The Convection Microwave Oven is for food prepa-

ration 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.

About safety

• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the

United States Department of Agriculture's recom-

mended temperatures.

165°F For leftover, ready:to,reheat refriger_

ated, and deli and carry:ou t !'fresh"

food.

180iF 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.

• 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.

Information You Need To Know 7

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 foodsto cook evenly. •

• Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any

thin areas of meat or poultry to prevent over- •

cooking 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

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

overLooking.

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.

General • 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.
