UNPACKING AND EXAMINING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN  
Open the bottom of the carton, bend the carton flaps back and tilt the microwave oven  
over to rest on plastic foam pad. Lift carton off microwave oven and remove all packing  
materials, Installation Instructions, Wall Template, Top Template, Charcoal Filter,  
Turntable and Turntable Support. SAVE THE CARTON AS IT MAY MAKE  
INSTALLATION EASIER.  
• Remove the feature sticker from the outside of the door, if there is one.  
• DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER, which is located on the ceiling in the  
microwave oven cavity. Check to see that there are Installation Instructions, Wall  
Template, Top Template and Charcoal Filter, which is used when recirculating is  
chosen. Read enclosures and SAVE the Use and Care Manual.  
Check the microwave oven for any damage, such as misaligned or bent door, damaged  
door seals and sealing surfaces, broken or loose door hinges and latches and dents  
inside the cavity or on the door. If there is any damage, do not operate the microwave  
oven and contact your dealer or ELECTROLUX SERVICER. See Installation Instructions  
for more details.  
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
This appliance must be grounded. This microwave 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.  
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.  
Electrical Requirements  
Check Installation Instructions for proper location for the power supply.  
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 the microwave  
oven be provided.  
The microwave oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a  
wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded. DO NOT UNDER ANY  
CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PIN FROM THE PLUG.  
NOTES:  
1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a  
qualified electrician or service person.  
2. Neither Electrolux nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the microwave  
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 microwave oven as feasible or check position and signal of receiving  
antenna.

Important Safety Instructions  
ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN  
This Use and Care Manual is valuable: read it carefully and always  
save it for reference.  
ABOUT FOODS  
Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven unless in a special  
microwave popcorn accessory or unless you use popcorn labeled  
for use in microwave ovens.  
A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for  
microwave cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes.  
Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers—for  
example, closed jars—will explode and should not be heated in  
this microwave oven. Such use of the microwave oven could  
result in injury.  
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. See page 18 for complete instructions.  
Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure will build up  
inside egg yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly resulting in  
injury.  
ALWAYS have food in the microwave oven when it is on to absorb  
the microwave energy.  
Operating the microwave with no food inside for more than a  
minute or two may cause damage to the microwave oven and  
could start a fire. It increases the heat around the magnetron and  
can shorten the life of the microwave oven.  
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.  
Foods with unbroken outer “skin” such as potatoes, hot dogs,  
sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and  
egg yolks should be pierced to allow steam to escape during  
cooking.  
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.  
Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even with the lid off. Make  
sure all infant food is thoroughly cooked. Stir food to distribute  
the heat evenly. Be careful to prevent scalding when warming  
formula or breast milk. The container may feel cooler than the  
milk really is. Always test the milk before feeding the baby.  
The microwave oven is for food preparation only. It should not be  
used to dry clothes or newspapers.  
Your microwave oven is rated 1000 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.  
Spontaneous boiling—Under certain special circumstances, liquids  
may start to boil during or shortly after removal from the microwave  
oven. To prevent burns from splashing liquid, we recommend the  
following: before removing the container from the microwave oven,  
allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for 30 to 40  
seconds after the microwave oven has shut off. Do not boil liquids  
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.  
• 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.  
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  
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 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.  
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.  
Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking and  
reheating:  
• glass ceramic (Pyroceram®), such as Corningware®.  
• heat-resistant glass (Pyrex®)  
As with any appliance, close supervision by an adult is  
necessary when used by children.  
• microwave-safe plastics  
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the  
microwave oven door.  
• paper plates  
• microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain  
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.  
• browning dish (Do not exceed recommended preheating time.  
Follow manufacturer's directions.)  
Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one cooking  
skill he/she can cook everything.  
These items can be used for short time reheating  
of foods that have little fat or sugar in them:  
• wood, straw, wicker  
Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not a toy. See  
page 16 for Child Lock feature.  
DO NOT USE  
ABOUT SAFETY  
• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States  
Department of Agriculture's recommended temperatures.  
• metal pans and bakeware  
• dishes with metallic trim  
• non-heat-resistant glass  
• non-microwave-safe plastics (margarine tubs)  
• recycled paper products  
• brown paper bags  
160˚F - For fresh pork, ground meat, boneless white poultry,  
fish, seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food.  
165˚F - For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and deli and  
carry-out “fresh” food.  
• food storage bags  
• metal twist-ties  
170˚F - White meat of poultry.  
175˚F - Dark meat of poultry.  
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.  
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.  
• Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheating.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
• Stay near the microwave oven while it's in use and check  
cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of  
overcooking food.  
How to use aluminum foil in your microwave oven:  
• NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other items.  
• 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.  
• Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high  
quality and minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.  
• Foil should not come closer than one inch to any surface of the  
microwave oven.  
• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing  
and/or fires.  
Should you have questions about utensils or coverings, check a  
good microwave cookbook or follow recipe suggestions.  
• Use care when removing items from the microwave oven so  
that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not touch the  
safety door latches.  
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

Operating Instructions  
Special Features  
in the SENSOR COOKING CHART for these foods.  
SENSOR COOKING  
1. Casserole lid.  
Electrolux’s 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.  
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.  
Using Sensor Settings:  
1. After microwave oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before  
using SENSOR COOKING.  
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.  
2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of  
the microwave oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry  
cloth or paper towel.  
Be careful when removing any covering to allow steam to escape  
away from you.  
3. The microwave oven works with foods at normal storage  
temperature. For example, popcorn would be at room  
temperature.  
SENSOR REHEAT  
You can cook many foods by touching just one pad. You don’t  
need to calculate cooking time or power level.  
4. Any SENSOR COOKING selection can be programmed with  
More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 17.  
• Suppose you want to reheat canned chili.  
1. Touch Sensor Reheat pad. When sensor detects the vapor  
emitted from the food, remainder of reheating time will appear.  
5. More or less food than the quantity listed in the chart should be  
cooked following the guidelines in any microwave cookbook.  
2. At end, follow the directions in the display.  
6. During the first part of SENSOR COOKING, food name will  
appear on the display. Do not open the microwave oven door  
or touch Clear/Off during this part of the cooking cycle. The  
measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this occurs, an  
error message will appear. To continue cooking, touch the  
Clear/Off pad and cook manually.  
NOTE: The Turntable On/Off, Sensor Reheat, Popcorn, Fresh  
Veggie and Poultry settings have 2 choices. Follow directions in  
the Interactive Display to choose desired option.  
USING THE RACK  
The rack allows several foods to be cooked or reheated at one  
time. However, for the best cooking and reheating, use the  
turntable on and the automatic features.  
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.  
When using the rack, set time and power level manually. Allow  
plenty of space around and between the dishes. Pay close  
attention to the cooking/reheating progress. Reposition the foods  
and reverse them from rack to turntable at least once during any  
cooking or reheating time. Using a lower power level will assist in  
better cooking/reheating uniformity.  
7. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when popping  
popcorn, the microwave 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 microwave oven will turn off.  
8. Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional time is  
needed, continue to cook manually.  
AVOID:  
• Storing the rack in the microwave oven when not in use.  
9. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch HELP pad when the  
• Popping popcorn on the turntable with the rack in the microwave  
oven.

Cleaning and Care  
EXTERIOR  
TURNTABLE/TURNTABLE SUPPORT  
The outside surface is precoated steel and plastic. Clean the  
outside with mild soap and water; rinse and dry with a soft cloth.  
Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.  
The turntable and turntable support can be removed for easy  
cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy water; for stubborn stains use  
a mild cleanser and non-abrasive scouring sponge. They are also  
dishwasher-proof. Use upper rack of dishwasher. The turntable  
motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should be  
wiped up immediately.  
DOOR  
Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any  
spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped  
frequently with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other  
harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.  
GREASE FILTERS  
Filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never operate the  
fan or microwave oven without the filters in place.  
TOUCH CONTROL PANEL  
1. Pull down slightly on the tab toward the front of the microwave  
oven and remove the filter. Repeat for the other filter.  
Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel. If the  
control panel becomes soiled, open the microwave oven door  
before cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly  
with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort  
of chemical cleaners. Close door and touch Clear/Off.  
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.  
INTERIOR  
5. Replace by fitting the filter back into the opening.  
Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to the interior  
surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and setting of spills or  
spattering. To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and  
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.  
WAVEGUIDE COVER  
The waveguide cover is located on the ceiling in the microwave  
oven cavity. It is made from mica so requires special care. Keep  
the waveguide cover clean to assure good microwave oven  
performance. Carefully wipe with a damp cloth any food spatters  
from the surface of the cover immediately after they occur. Built-up  
splashes may overheat and cause smoke or possibly catch fire.  
DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER.  
ODOR REMOVAL  
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the microwave 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 microwave  
oven until cool. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.
