Accessories

There are many mic rowave accessories available
for purchase. Evaluate carefully before you purchase

rect doneness and assure you that foods have
been co oked to safe te mperatures. Electrolux is
not responsible for any damage to the oven when
accessories are used.
It is not necessar y to buy all new cook ware. Many
