removing the container.
e. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other
utensil into the container.
18. If the oven light fails, consult a Electrolux Autho-
rized Servicer.

6GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. This oven is equipped 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. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
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. 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. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION
CORD. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician
or serviceperson install an outlet near the appliance.
NOTES:
1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instruc-
tions, 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.
Radio or TV Interference
Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven to your radio or TV, check that the
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.

About your oven
This Use and Care Guide 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, tech-
niques, 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
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
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. Cov-
ers 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 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
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 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.
Information You Need To Know
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 Microwave Oven is for food preparation only. It
should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your Microwave Oven is rated 1100 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.

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.
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.
About children and the microwave
About safety
• Checkfoodstoseethattheyarecookedtothe
United States Department of Agriculture’s recom-
mended temperatures.
Temp Food
160˚F For fresh pork, ground meat, bone-
less 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 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

Information You Need To Know
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 24 for Child Lock feature.

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flat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 oven.
Should you have questions about utensils or cover-
ings, 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 cor-
rect doneness and assure you that foods have
been cooked to safe temperatures. Electrolux is
not responsible for any damage to the oven when
accessories are used.
It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many
pieces already in your kitchen can be used suc-
cessfully 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:
• g l a s s  c e r a m i c  ( P y r o c e r a m ®), su c h as
Corningware®.

• microwave-safeplastics
• paperplates
• microwave-safe pot ter y, 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 oven and
microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish which
becomes very hot should not be used.
