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.
As with any appliance, close supervision by an adult is 

necessary when used by children.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the 

microwave oven door.
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 23 for Child Lock feature.

ABOUT SAFETY

• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States 

Department of Agriculture’s recommended temperatures.

TEMP

FOOD

145°F
(63°C) 

-  For beef, lamb or veal cut into steaks, chops or 

roasts, 

fi

 sh

160°F

(71°C) 

- For fresh pork, ground meat,  seafood, egg dishes, 

frozen prepared food and beef, lamb or veal cut into 

steaks, chops or roasts

165°F

(74°C) 

- For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, deli and 

carry out “fresh” food, whole chicken or turkey, 

chicken or turkey breasts and ground poultry used 

in chicken or turkey burgers 

 

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.
•  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 microwave 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 foodborne bacteria.

•  Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing 

and/or 

fi

 res.

•  Use care when removing items from the microwave 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

Use these utensils for safe microwave 

cooking and reheating:

•  glass ceramic (Pyroceram

®

), such as Corningware

®

.

•  heat-resistant glass (Pyrex

®

)

•   microwave-safe plastics
•   paper plates
•  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:

•  wood, straw, wicker

DO NOT USE

•  metal pans and bakeware
•  dishes with metallic trim
•   non-heat-resistant glass
•  non-microwave-safe plastics (margarine tubs)
•  recycled paper products
•  brown paper bags
•  food storage bags
•   metal twist-ties
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.

•  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.

•  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.

How to use aluminum foil in your 

microwave oven:

•  Small 

fl

 at 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 microwave oven.

Should you have questions about utensils or coverings, 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 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.

NOTE

Do not cook whole, stuffed poultry. Cook stuf

fi

 ng 

separately to 165°F.
