Grounding Instructions
Figure 1
Ground
Receptacle
Opening for
Power Cord
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 oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. DO
NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE
THE GROUNDING PIN FROM THE PLUG.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
The Power Supply Cord and plug must be connected to
a separate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15 Amp, or more branch
circuit, single grounded receptacle. The receptacle should
be located inside the cabinet directly above the Microwave
Oven mounting location as shown in Figure 1.
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.
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.
NEVER u
se 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 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. It
is normal for the exterior of the oven to be warm to
the touch when cooking or reheating.
About microwave cooking
Place food in the center of the oven cavity.
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
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 1200 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.
background
E
8
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 Agricultures recom-
mended temperatures.
Temp Food
16F For fresh pork, ground meat, bone-
less white poultry, fish, seafood, egg
dishes and frozen prepared food.
16F For leftover, ready-to-reheat refriger-
a
ted, and deli and carry-out fresh”
food.
170˚F White meat of poultry.
18F Dark meat of poultry.
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in
a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER
l
eave 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.
A
void 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 its 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
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 26 for Child Lock feature.

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
p
opping 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”.
Use deep bowl, when cooking liquids
or cereals, to prevent boilovers.
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.

About utensils and coverings
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 micro-
wave 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.
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 Over the Range
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 success-
f
ully in your new Over the Range Microwave Oven.
Make sure the utensil does not touch the interior
walls during cooking.
Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking
and reheating:
glas s ce ra mi c (P yr oc era m
®
), su ch 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.)
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

Manual Operation
The sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects
the vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from the
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. The oven works with foods at normal storage
temperature. For example, popcorn would be at
room temperature.
4. Any Sensor Settings selection can be pro-
g
rammed with More or less time adjustment.
See page 27.
5. More or less food than the quantity listed in the
chart should be cooked following the guidelines
in any microwave cookbook.
6. During the first part of any sensor cooking or
reheating, food name will appear on the display.
Do not open the oven door or touch STOP/clear
during this part of the cycle. The measurement of
vapor will be interrupted. If this occurs, an error
message will appear. To continue cooking, touch
the STOP/clear pad and cook manually.
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.
7. 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
cooking other foods, ERROR will be displayed,
and the oven will turn off.
8. Check food for temperature after cooking. If
additional time is needed, continue to cook
manually.
9. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch user pref
pad when the HELP indicator is lighted in the
display.
Covering Foods:
Some foods cook better when covered. Use the
cover recommended in the food charts.
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.
Sensor Settings
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 (see pages
24-25), you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or
previously cooked, by using Power Level for 30%
Follow the exact 3-step procedure found under To
set power level. Estimate defrosting time and press
power level pad eight times for 30% power.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the
rule of thumb is approximately 4 minutes per pound.
For example, defrost 4 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 30% 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.

warm water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH
CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil,
use baking soda or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with
hot water. The rack can be cleaned with hot soapy
water, rinsed and dried.
Odor Removal
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the
oven. To remove, combine 1 cup water, grated peel
and juice of 1 lemon and several whole cloves in a
2-cup glass measuring cup. Boil for several minutes
using 100% power. Allow to set in oven until cool.
Wipe interior with a soft cloth.
Grease Filters
Filters should be cleaned at least once a month.
Never operate the fan or oven without the filters in
place.
1. Pull down slightly on the tab toward the middle
of the oven and remove the filter. Repeat for the
other filter.
2. Soak the filters in a sink or dish pan filled with hot
water and detergent. DO NOT use ammonia or
other alkali; they will react with the filter material
and darken it.
3. Agitate and scrub with a brush to remove
embedded dirt.
4. Rinse thoroughly and shake dry.
5. Replace by fitting the filter back into the opening.
