Electrolux EI24MO45IBEI30MO45TB Owner's Manual

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 

•  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.  Cov-
ers  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  over-
cooking  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 
hamburgers.  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 
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.

Information you Need To Know

on and off. It is normal for the exterior of the oven 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.
