IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should be followed to reduce the risk
of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or
exposure to excessive microwave energy:
• READ ALL instructions before using the appli-
ance.
• READ AND FOLLOW the specific “PRECAU-
TIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” on page 4.
• This appliance must be grounded. Connect only
to properly grounded outlet. See "GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS" found on page 5.
• Install or locate this appliance only in accordance
with the provided installation instructions.
• Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers - for example, closed jars - are able to
explode and SHOULD NOT be HEATED in this
oven.
• Use this appliance ONLY for its intended use as
described in this manual. DO NOT use corrosive
chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type of
oven is specifically designed to heat, cook or dry
food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory
use.
• As with any appliance, CLOSE SUPERVISION is
necessary when used by CHILDREN or INFIRM
PERSONS.
• DO NOT operate this appliance if it has a damaged
cord or plug, if it is not working properly or if it has
been damaged or dropped.
• This appliance, including power cord, must be
serviced ONLY by qualified service personnel.
Contact nearest Electrolux Authorized Servicer for
examination, repair or adjustment.
• DO NOT cover or block any vents or openings on
the oven.
• DO NOT store or use this appliance outdoors. DO
NOT use this product near water—for example, near
a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming
pool, or similar locations.
• DO NOT immerse cord or plug in water.
• Keep cord AWAY from HEATED surfaces.
• DO NOT let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
• Review the door cleaning instructions on page 36.
• DO NOT mount over a sink.
• DO NOT store anything directly on top of the appli-
ance surface when the appliance is in operation.
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
• DO NOT overcook food. Carefully attend to
appliance when paper, plastic or other com-
bustible materials are placed inside the oven
to facilitate cooking.
• Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags
before placing bag in oven.
• If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven
door closed, turn oven off and disconnect the
power cord or shut off power at the fuse or
circuit breaker panel.
• DO NOT use the cavity for storage purposes. DO
NOT leave paper products, cooking utensils or
food in the cavity when not in use.
Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea are able to be
overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing
to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the
container is removed from the Convection Microwave
Oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT
IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER
WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED
INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
• DO NOT overheat the liquid.
• Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating it.
• DO NOT use straight-sided containers with nar-
row necks. Use a wide-mouthed container.
• After heating, allow the container to stand in
the Convection Microwave Oven at least for 20
seconds before removing the container.
• Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other
utensil into the container.
I f the oven light fails, consult a Electrolux Authorized
Servicer.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. This oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a
grounding 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.
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 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 electrician
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.

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

Information You Need To Know
About your oven
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 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 • Always use a Popcorn Tray (NordicWare®)
made from heavy weight thermoset polyester
when popping bagged microwave popcorn.
• 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 filling after heating to
release steam and avoid burns.
• Stir liquids briskly before and after heating to
avoid “eruption”.

Information You Need To Know
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 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.
