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 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 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 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.

8
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• 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.
ABOUT FOOD
FOOD DO DON’T
Eggs,
sausages, nuts,
seeds, fruits &
vegetables
• Puncture egg yolks before cooking to
prevent “explosion”.
• Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash, hot
dogs and sausages so that steam escapes.
• Cook eggs in shells.
• Reheat whole eggs.
• Dry nuts or seeds in shells.
Popcorn • 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.
• Pop popcorn in regular brown
bags or glass bowls.
• Exceed maximum time on popcorn
package.
Baby food • 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.
• Heat disposable bottles.
• Heat bottles with nipples on.
• Heat baby food in original jars.
General • 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 boil-overs.
• 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.
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.

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.)
• Dark color cookware may help to optimize
cooking performance.
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.
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 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.
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.

10
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or
swing on the microwave oven door.
Children should be taught all safety caution:
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 Child Lock feature.
NOTES
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 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 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.
