SENSOR COOK OPERATING TIPS
The Sensor Cook categories are designed to detect the increasing humidity released by the food during the cooking process. The microwave oven sensor will automatically adjust the cooking time to the type and amount of food. The food categories that are controlled with the humidity sensor are:

KEY

|

FOOD

---|---
Sensor Cook x1| Frozen Breakfast (8-12oz)
Sensor Cook x2| Ground Meat
Sensor Cook x3| Fish Seafood
Sensor Cook x4| Chicken Breast
Sensor Cook x|
Sensor Cook x|

For best results, do not use one of the Sensor Cook categories twice in succession on the same food portion. This may result in severely overcooked or burnt food. If the food appears to be undercooked, use one of the Easy Set pads or cook time pads to add more time.

Additional sensor cook suggestions are:

• Never start with less than 4 oz. of food.
• Use proper containers and covers for best sensor cooking results.
• Always use microwave-safe containers.
• Never use tight sealing plastic containers.
• They will prevent steam from escaping and this will mislead the sensor, usually causing the food to overcook.

Be sure the outside of the cooking containers and the cavity of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Excessive moisture turning into steam that does not result from the food cooking can mislead the sensor.

Suppose you want to cook a Frozen Breakfast.

1. Press the Sensor Cook pad.  Sensor Cook
2. Press START/+30sec pad.

Suppose you want to cook Fish Seafood.

1. Press the Sensor cookpad three times.  Sensor Cook

  • Make sure the turntable and roller ring are positioned correctly.

• Using your microwave causes TV or radio interference
  This is similar to the interference caused by other small appliances, such as hair dryers. Move your microwave further away from other appliances.

Please note:
If the oven is set to cook for more than 30 minutes at a 100% power level, it will automatically adjust itself to an 80% power level after 30 minutes to avoid overcooking.

CLEANING AND CARE

CLEANING SUGGESTIONS

• For best performance and safety reasons, keep the oven clean inside and outside. Take special care to keep the inner door panel and oven frame free of food and grease buildup.
• Never use rough scouring powder or pads on the microwave. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out with a soft cloth and warm (not hot) mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe completely dry.
• Wipe splatters immediately with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking greasy foods like chicken or bacon.

Follow these instructions to clean and care for your microwave oven:

• Keep the inside (cavity) of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids can stick to the oven walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently.
• Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp, clean cloth and mild detergent. DO NOT use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
• To help loosen baked-on food particles or liquids, heat 2 cups of water (add the juice of 1 lemon if you desire to keep the oven smelling fresh) in a 4-cup measuring glass at High power for 5 minutes or until boiling. Let stand in oven cavity for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Remove the glass turntable tray from the oven when cleaning the oven cavity or tray. To prevent the glass turntable from breaking, handle it with care and do not put it in water immediately after cooking. Wash the turntable tray with mild detergent.
• Clean the outside surface of the microwave with mild detergent and a clean damp cloth. Dry with a clean soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts of the oven, do not let water seep into any vents or openings.
• Wash the oven door window with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft clean cloth to avoid scratching.
• If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accumulate when operating the oven in high humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage.
• Never operate the oven without food in the oven cavity; this can damage the magnetron tube or glass tray.

SERVICE CALL CHECK

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%.

• A. Does the microwave oven light come on?

• B. Does the cooling fan work? (Put your hand at the top above Display.)

• C. Does the turntable rotate? (It is normal for the turntable to turn in either direction.)

• D. Is the water in the microwave oven warm?

• If “NO” is the answer to any of the above questions, please check the 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.
