IMPORTANT GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be connected to a grounded, metallic,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding

conductor should be run with the circuit conductors and
connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the

appliance. Plug the three-prong power cord into aproperly
grounded outlet of standard 115-120 voltage, 60 Hz.Your oven
should be the only appliance on this 15A or 20A circuit.

Note: Donotset dishesorfood on the door when it isinthe

open position,as theovenmay becomeunstableandtip
over.

WARNING

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of

electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if
you do not understand the grounding instructions or if you

are not sure if the appliance is properly grounded.

Use of Extension Cords

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer
cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if
care is exercised in their use. If a long cord or extension cord is

used:

1. The marked electrical ratingofthe cord setor extension cord
should be at least as great as the electrical ratingof the
appliance.

2. The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord
and it must be plugged into a 3-slot outlet.

3. The longer cord should be arranged so that itwill not drape
over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulledon by
children ortripped over accidentally. If you use an extension
cord, the interior light may flicker and the blower may vary
when the microwave oven ison. Cooking times may be

longer, too.

4. Use of extremely long extension cords, or cords in poor
condition, may adversely affect cooking performance due to
voltage drop.

WARNING

Do not cut or removethe third (ground)prongfrom the
powercord underany circumstances.

Note: Uponthe oven's first use,there may be a slight odor
dueto heater "breakin".Thisis normal, and will not re-

occur.

Liquids, such as water, coffee, ortea are able to be overheated
beyond the boiling pointwithout appearing to be boiling. Visible
bubbling or boiling when the container is removedfrom the
microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT

INVERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN

THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER

UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

1. Do not overheat the liquid.

2. Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

3. Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

4. After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave
oven for a short time before removing the container.

5. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil

intothe container.

Cooking Instructions

Cooking Utensils

Recommended Use for microwave functions

• Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes : Use for heating or

cooking.

• Microwave browning dish : Use to brown the exterior of small
items such as steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions
provided with your browning dish.

• Microwavable plastic wrap : Use to retain steam. Leave a small
opening for some steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on

the food.

• Wax paper : Use as a cover to prevent spattering.

• Paper towels and napkins : Use for short-term heating and
covering; they absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do
not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and can

catch fire.

• Paper plates and cups : Use for short-term heating at low
temperatures. Do not use recycled paper, which may contain metal

and can catch fire.

• Thermometers : Use only those labeled "Microwave Safe" and
follow all directions. Check the food in several places. Conventional
thermometers may be used once the food has been removed from

the oven.

Limited Use

• Aluminum foil : Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of
exposed areas. Using too much foil can damage your oven, so be

careful.

• Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware : Use these if they are labeled
"Microwave Safe." If they are not labeled, test them to make sure

they can be used safely. Never use dishes with metallic trim.

• Plastic : Use only if labeled "Microwave Safe." Other plastics can
melt.

• Straw, wicker, and wood : Use only for short-term heating, as they

can be flammable.

Not Recommended

• Glass jars and bottles : Regular glass is too thin to be used in a
microwave, and can shatter.

• Paper bags : These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that
are designed for microwave use.

• Styrofoam plates and cups : These can melt and leave an
unhealthy residue on food.

• Plastic storage and food containers : Containers such as
margarine tubs can melt in the microwave.

• Metal utensils : These can damage your oven. Remove all metal
before cooking.

Cooking Instructions

Testing Utensils

Ifyou are not sure whether a dish ismicrowave-safe or not, you can perform this

test:

Fill a glass measuring cup with water and put it inside your oven,

next to the dish you want to test.

2 Press the Start/+1 Min. button once to heat them for one minute

at High power.

The water should be warm andthe dish you are testing should be cool. Ifthe
dish iswarm, then it is absorbing microwave energy and isnot acceptable for

use in the microwave.

Cooking Techniques

Stirring

Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute heat

evenly. Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and heats more
quickly, so stir from theoutside to thecenter. The oven willturn offwhenyou

open the door to stiryour food.

Arrangement

Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with the
thicker, meatier parts toward the outside ofthe turntable where they receive

more microwave energy. To prevent overcooking, place thinordelicate parts

toward the center of the turntable.

Shielding

Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Areas

that need shielding includepoultry wing-tips, the ends of poultry legs, and
corners of square baking dishes. Useonly small amounts of aluminum foil.

Larger amounts can damage your oven.

Turning

Turn foods over midway through cooking toexpose all parts to microwave
energy. This is especially important with large items such as roasts.

Standing

Foods cooked inthe microwave build up internal heatand continueto cook for a

few minutes after the oven stops. Let foods standto complete cooking,
especially foods such as roasts and whole vegetables. Roasts need this timeto

complete cooking inthecenter without overcooking the outer areas. All liquids,
such assoup or hotchocolate, should be shaken or stirred when cooking is

complete. Let liquids stand a moment before serving. When heatingbaby food,
stir well and test the temperature before serving.

Adding Moisture

Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in
moisture content should be covered orallowed to stand so that the heat

disperses evenly. Add asmall amount of water todry food to help itcook.

Cooking Instructions

General Tips

• Dense foods, such as potatoes, take longer to heat than lighter
foods. Foods with a delicate texture should be heated at a low power
level to avoid becoming tough.

• Altitude and the type of cookware you are using can affect cooking
time. When using a new recipe, use the minimum cooking time and
check the food occasionally to prevent overcooking.

• Foods with a non-porous skin or shell, such as potatoes, eggs, or hot
dogs, should be pierced to prevent bursting.

• Frying with heating oil or fat is not recommended. Fat and oil can
suddenly boil over and cause severe burns.

• Some ingredients heat faster than others. For example, the jelly
inside a jelly doughnut will be hotter than the dough. Keep this in

mind to avoid burns.

• Home canning in the microwave oven is not recommended because
all harmful bacteria may not be destroyed by the microwave heating

process.

• Although microwaves do not heat the cookware, the heat is often
transferred to the cookware. Always use pot holders when removing

food from the microwave and instruct children to do the same.

General Tips for the Heater Features

• Many foods, such as convenience foods, can be successfully
prepared in the 3-N-1 TMToaster Microwave Oven. Please follow the
manufacturer's package directions carefully for best results.

• Please check your food before the time is up. You may need to
adjust the time for best results or personal preference.

• During baking, the food may rise becoming too close to the heaters,
which may cause the food to overcook or burn.

• Baking larger dense food items, such as cakes or brownies, is not

recommended in this oven.

• For best results when baking, try to place the food toward the center
of the crumb tray.

• Some package directions call for temperatures above 400 °F.
Set the temperature to 400 °F and add an additional 2 - 6 minutes.

• When heating frozen dinners or frozen entrees, Speed Cook #3 or
only microwaving is recommended.

Guide for Cooking Meat in Your Microwave

• Place meat on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe
dish.

• Start meat fat-side down. Use narrow strips of aluminum foil to shield
any bone tips or thin meat areas.

• Check the temperature in several places before letting the meat

stand the recommended time.

• The following temperatures are removal temperatures. The

temperature of the food will rise during the standing time.

Cooking Instructions

Guide for Cooking Eggs in Your Microwave

• Never cook eggs in the shell, and never warm hard-boiled eggs in
the shell; they can explode.

• Always pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting.

• Cook eggs just until set; they become tough if overcooked.

Guide for Cooking Vegetables in Your

Microwave

• Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Often, no extra
water is needed. If dense vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and
green beans are being cooked, add about ¼ cup water.

• Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook
faster than larger ones.

• Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or corn on the
cob, should be arranged in a circle on the turntable before cooking.
They will cook more evenly if turned over at half the cooking time.

• Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli with the stem
ends pointing towards the edge of the dish with the heads toward the

center.

• When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with a lid or
vented microwavable plastic wrap.

• Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, squash, eggplant,
etc., should have their skin pricked in several spots before cooking to
prevent them from bursting.

• For more even cooking, rearrange whole vegetables halfway through
the cooking time.

• Generally, the denser the food, the longer the standing time.

(Standing time refers to the time necessary for dense, large foods
and vegetables to finish cooking after they come out of the oven.) A
baked potato can stand on the counter for five minutes before
cooking is completed, while a dish of peas can be served
immediately.

Appendix

Care and Cleaning

Follow these instructions to clean and care for your oven.

• Keep the inside 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 cloth and mild soap. Do not
use harsh detergents or abrasives.

• To help loosen baked on food particles or liquids, heat two cups of
water (add the juice of one lemon if you desire to keep the oven
fresh) in a four-cup measuring glass at High power for five minutes
or until boiling. Let stand in the oven for one or two minutes.

• Remove the glass tray from the oven when cleaning the oven or tray.
To prevent the tray from breaking, handle it carefully and do not put it
in water immediately after cooking. Wash the tray carefully in warm
sudsy water or in the dishwasher.

• Clean the outside surface of the oven with soap and a damp cloth.

Dry with a soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts of the

oven, don't let water seep into the openings.

• Wash the door window with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use
a soft 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 it; this can damage the
magnetron tube or glass tray. You may wish to leave a cup of water
in the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is
accidentally turned on.
