IMPORTANT SAfETY INSTRUCTIONS  
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.  
Extension Cord  
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade  
grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the microwave oven. The  
marked rating of the extension cord should be AC 115-120 volt, 15 amp. or more.  
Be careful not to drape the cord over the countertop or table where it can be pulled on by children  
or tripped over accidentally.  
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.

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.  
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.  
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.  
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  
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.  
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.  
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.  
All microwave ovens are rated by using the IEC Test Procedure as  
1200 watts, except for the CPLMZ209 which is 1100 watts. 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  
in narrownecked containers such as soft drink bottles, wine flasks  
and especially narrow necked coffee cups. Even if the container  
is opened, excessive steam can build up and cause it to burst or  
overflow.  
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.  
Do not defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked bottles  
(especially carbonated beverages). Even if the container is  
opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the container to  
burst, possibly resulting in injury.  
• 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.  
Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when opening  
any containers of hot food, including popcorn bags, cooking  
pouches and boxes. To prevent possible injury, direct steam away  
from hands and face.  
• Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during  
cooking, if possible.  
Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and catch fire,  
causing damage to your microwave oven.  
• 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.  
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL  
temperature of 160˚F and poultry to at least an INTERNAL  
temperature of 180˚F. Cooking to these temperatures usually  
protects against foodborne illness.  
• 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.

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.  
Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking and  
reheating:  
• glass ceramic (Pyroceram®), such as Corningware®.  
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.  
• heat-resistant glass (Pyrex®)  
• microwave-safe plastics  
• paper plates  
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the  
microwave oven door.  
• microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain  
• browning dish (Do not exceed recommended preheating time. Follow  
manufacturer’s directions.)  
Children should be taught all safety precautions: use potholders,  
remove coverings carefully, pay special attention to packages that

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.  
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.  
The following coverings are ideal:  
• Paper towels are good for covering foods for reheating and  
absorbing fat while cooking bacon.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
• Stay near the microwave oven while it’s in use and check cooking  
progress frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking  
food.  
• 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.  
• NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other items.  
How to use aluminum foil in your microwave oven:  
• Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high  
quality and minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.  
• 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.  
• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing  
and/or fires.  
• Foil should not come closer than one inch to any surface of the  
microwave oven.  
• Use care when removing items from the microwave oven so that  
the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not touch the safety  
door latches.  
Should you have questions about utensils or coverings, check a good  
microwave cookbook or follow recipe suggestions.

SENSoR CookING  
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.  
8. Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional time is  
needed, continue to cook manually.  
9. SENSOR COOKING can only be entered within 3 minutes  
after cooking, opening and closing the door or touching the  
Clear/off pad.

10.Each food has a cooking hint. Touch Help pad when the HELP  
indicator is lighted in the display.  
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.  
Covering Foods:  
Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover recommended  
in the SENSOR COOKING CHART for these foods.  
3. The microwave oven works with foods at normal storage  
temperature. For example, popcorn would be at room  
temperature.  
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.  
4. Any SENSOR COOKING selection can be programmed with  
More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 14.  
5. More or less food than the quantity listed in the chart should be  
cooked following the guidelines in any microwave cookbook.  
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.  
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.  
Be careful when removing any covering to allow steam to escape  
away from you.  
EXaMPlE:  
You can cook many foods by touching just one pad. You don’t need  
to calculate cooking time or power level.  
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.  
• Suppose you want to reheat canned chili.

Cleaning and Care  
EXTERIoR  
INTERIoR  
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.  
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.  
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. Cleaners which are marked  
specifically for use with stainless steel may be used. Follow  
package directions exactly. Avoid the use of any harsh cleaner or  
one not marked for stainless steel use as they may stain, streak or  
dull the door surface.  
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.  
EaSY CaRESTaINlESS STEEl (SoME ModElS)  
Your microwave oven finish may be made with Easy Care™  
Stainless Steel (some models). Clean the stainless with warm  
soapy water using a clean sponge or cloth. Rinse with clean water  
and dry with a soft clean cloth. DO NOT use ANY store bought  
cleaners like Stainless Steel cleaners or any other types of cleaners  
containing any abrasive, chlorides, chlorines or ammonia. It is  
recommended to use mild dish soap and water or a 50/50 solution  
of water and vinegar.  
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.  
ToUCH CoNTRol PaNEl  
TURNTaBlE/TURNTaBlE SUPPoRT  
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.  
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.
