1. Remove all packing materials from inside the oven cavity. DO

NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER, which is located on the right cavity wall. Read enclosures and SAVE this Use and Care Guide.

2. Remove the feature sticker, if there is one, from the outside

of the door. Check the 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 oven and contact your dealer or ELECTROLUX AUTHORIZED SERVICER. Choosing a Location for Your Microwave Oven Your oven can be built into a cabinet or wall by itself or above any electric wall oven or warming drawer using built-in kit models EI27MO45T or EI30MO45T for microwave oven model EI24MO45I. Unpacking and Installation InstructionE

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS 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 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. Should you only have a 2-prong outlet, have a qualified electrician install a correct wall receptacle. A 3-prong adapter may be purchased and used temporarily if local codes allow. Follow package directions. 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 instruc-

tions, 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 micro- wave 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.E

About your oven This Use and Care Guide 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, tech- niques, 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 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 oven 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 cook- book 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 hamburg- ers. 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 overcook- ing.

• 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 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 Microwave Oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers. Your Microwave Oven is rated 1100 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.E

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 comfortably; 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 Agriculture’s recom- mended temperatures. Temp Food 160˚F For fresh pork, ground meat, bone- less white poultry, fish, seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food. 165˚F For leftover, ready-to-reheat refriger- ated, and deli and carry-out “fresh” food. 170˚F White meat of poultry. 180˚F Dark meat of poultry. 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 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 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 food- borne 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 24 for Child Lock feature.E

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.

• 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 filling after heat- ing 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.

About utensils and coverings 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 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 ther- mometer will assist you in determining correct done- ness 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 suc- cessfully 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

• 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:

• metal pans and bakeware

• dishes with metallic trim

• non-heat-resistant glass

• non-microwave-safe plastics (margarine tubs)

• recycled paper products

• metal twist-ties Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the 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 Information You Need To KnowE
