For best results, some recipes call for different cook powers. The lower the cook power, the slower the cooking. Each number from 1 to 9 stands for a different percentage of full cook power.
The following table gives the percentage of cook power each number pad stands for, and the cook power name usually used.
The table also tells you when to use each cook power. Follow recipe or food package instructions if available.
NOTE
Refer to a reliable cookbook for cooking times based on the 1000 Watt cook power of your microwave oven.

Three defrost sequences are preset in the oven. The auto defrost feature provides you with the best defrosting method for frozen foods. The cooking guide will show you which defrost sequence is recommended for the food you are defrosting.
For added convenience, the Auto Defrost includes a built-in beep mechanism that reminds you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange the food in order to get the best defrost results. Three different defrosting levels are provided:
Available weight is 0.1-6.0 lbs.

NOTE
The oven will beep during the DEFROST cycle. At this time, open the door and turn, separate, or rearrange the food. Remove any portions that have thawed. Return frozen portions to the oven and touch START to resume the defrost cycle.
This table shows food type selections and the weights you can set for each type. For best results, loosen or remove covering on food.
KEY PRESS | Category | WEIGHTSYOU CAN SET (tenths of apound) |
Defrost | Meat | 0.1 to 6.0 |
Defrost | Poultry | 0.1 to 6.0 |
Defrost | Fish | 0.1 to 6.0 |
You are probably used to measuring food in pounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for example, 4 ounces equals 1/4 pound). However, in order to enter food weight in Auto Defrost, you must specify pounds and tenths of a pound. If the weight on the food package is in fractions of a pound, you can use the following table to convert the weight to decimals.
Equivalent Weight
OUNCES | DECIMAL WEIGHT |
I.6 | .10 |
3.2 | .20 |
4.0 | .25 One-Quarter Pound |
4.8 | .30 |
6.4 | .40 |
8.0 | .50 One-Half Pound |
9.6 | .60 |
11.2 | .70 |
12.0 | .75 Three-Quarters Pound |
12.8 | .80 |
14.4 | .90 |
16.0 | 1.0 One Pound |
NOTE
If between two decimal weights, choose the lower weight for the best defrosting results.
NOTE
Meat of irregular shape and large, fatty cuts of meat should have the narrow or fatty areas shielded with foil at the beginning of the defrost sequence.

Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your favorite foods without selecting cooking times and power levels. The display will indicate Sensing during the initial sensing period.
The oven automatically determines required cooking time for each food item. When the internal sensor detects a certain amount of humidity coming from the food, it will tell the oven how much longer to heat. The display will show the remaining heating time. For best results for cooking by Sensor, follow these recommendations.

Disconnect the power cord or leave the door open to deactivate the oven during cleaning. Disconnect the power cord before replacing filters and lights.
EXTERIOR
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.
DOOR
Wipe the window on both sides with a soft cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a soft cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.
EASY CARE™ STAINLESS 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.
INTERIOR
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.
TURNTABLE/TURNTABLE SUPPORT
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.
GREASE FILTER
Filter should be cleaned at least once a month. Never operate the fan or microwave oven without the filter in place.
The oven ventilation exhaust filters should be removed and cleaned often; generally at least once every month.
Vent exhaust filter part number 5304478913
To order parts call 800-599-7569
To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage, do not operate oven hood without filters properly in place.
To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage, wear gloves when replacing the light bulbs.
Charcoal Filter installed in your microwave oven, is used for non vented, recirculated installation. The filter should be changed every 6 to 12 months depending on use.
Remove (he vent grill per charcoal filter replacement instructions.
Please check the following before calling for service:
Place one cup of water in a glass measuring cup in the microwave oven and close the door securely. Operate the microwave oven for one minute at HIGH 100%.
If "NO" is the answer to any of the above questions, please check electrical outlet, fuse and/or circuit breaker. If they are functioning properly, CONTACT YOUR NEAREST ELECTROLUX AUTHORIZED SERVICER.
A microwave oven should never be serviced by a "do-it-yourself" repair person.

Improper use of the grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounded plug, and 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
Electric Shock Hazard
Touching some of the internal components can cause serious personal injury or death. Do not disassemble this appliance.
