In Case of Fire
If materials inside an oven should ignite:
1. Keep door closed
2. Turn appliance off
3. Unplug the appliance or shut off at fuse or circuit breaker
Liquids
Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea could be overheated. They can be heated beyond the boiling point
without appearing to boil. For example, visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the
microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING
OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
o Do not overheat the liquid. o Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating.
o Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other
utensil into the container.
o Do not use straight sided containers with narrow
necks.
o After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven for a short time before removing.
Cooking Items
Eggs: Do not cook or reheat whole eggs, with or without
shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to explode, and possibly damage the oven or cause injury.
Reheating sliced hard-boiled eggs and cooking
scrambled eggs is safe.
Popcorn: Use only popcorn in packages designed and labeled for microwave use, or pop it in a microwave oven
corn popper. Follow popcorn manufacturers' directions and use a brand suitable for the wattage of your oven.
Do not continue to heat after popping has stopped. Popcorn will scorch or burn. Do not leave oven unattended..
CAUTION
When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, check
package weight before using the popcorn function. Set
the oven for the weight of the popcorn package. If these
instructions are not followed, popcorn may not pop
adequately or may ignite and cause fire.
Foods with nonporous skins: Potatoes, tomatoes, sweet
potatoes, apples, whole squash and sausages are examples of foods with nonporous skins, These types of foods must be pierced before cooking to prevent them from exploding.
Baby food / Baby formula: Do not heat baby bottles or food in microwave oven. The glass jar or the surface of food may appear warm while the interior can burn the
infant's mouth and esophagus.
Deep fat frying: Do not deep fat fry in oven. Oil can be
heated beyond ideal temperatures very quickly in a
microwave oven. Temperatures can climb high enough for the cooking oils to reach their respective flash points and burst into flames. The heated oil may bubble and spatter causing possible damage to the oven and
perhaps result in burns. Additionally, microwave-safe
utensils may not be able to withstand the temperature of the hot oil, and could result in the utensil shattering, if it
contains a slight imperfection, scratch or chip.
Home Canning / Drying foods / Small quantities of
foods: Do not use microwave oven for home canning or
heating of any closed jar. Pressure will build up and the jar may explode. In addition, the oven cannot maintain the food at the proper canning temperature. Improperly
canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume. Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture
content can dry out, burn or catch on fire.
Do not dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in your oven.
Proper cooking depends on time set and weight of food.
If you use a smaller portion than recommended and cook at the time for the recommended portion, fire could
result.
Save these instructions.

1" (2 cm) from the oven walls and the inside of the
door. Sparks could irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the door.
o Water in the hot oven interior: Never pour water into
the hot oven interior. Steam is produced. Damage to the enamel can arise due to the temperature change.
o Do not leave moist groceries in a closed oven for an
extended period of time. It can lead to corrosion inside the oven.
o Fruit juice can leave stains in the oven. Always remove
fruit juice immediately and wipe up first with a damp and then a dry cloth.
o Cooling with the appliance door open: only allow the
oven cavity to cool when it is closed. Even if the appliance door is only open a little, front panels of adjacent units could be damaged over time.
o Highly soiled door seal: the appliance door will no
longer close properly during operation if the door seal
is highly soiled. Adjoining furniture fronts may be
damaged. Always keep the door seal clean.
o Appliance door as a seat or storage surface: do not
stand, sit or hang on the appliance door. Do not place any cookware or accessories on the appliance door.
o Inserting accessories: depending on the appliance
type, accessories can scratch the door pane when closing the appliance door. Always slide accessories fully into the oven interior.
o Do not hold or carry the appliance by the door handle.
The door handle cannot carry the weight of the device and could break off, or the hinges can be damaged.
o Operating the microwave without food in the oven
cavity may lead to overloading. Never run the
microwave unless there is food in the oven cavity. An exception to this rule is a short ovenware test (see the section "Microwave, suitable ovenware"), or an AutoChef mode that needs pre-heating.
o Always set the microwave power as recommended for
the food. High power settings can overheat foods very quickly. The turntable may jump if overloaded.
Protecting the environment

Microwave utensil guide Suitable ovenware
o Heat-resistant glass, glass-ceramic:
Utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and bowls without metallic trim (e.g. Pyrex®, Anchor Hocking TM, Coming
Ware ®, etc.).
o China:
Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters without metallic trim.
Plastic films and wraps:
Plastic wrap (as a cover) - lay the plastic wrap loosely over the dish and press it to the sides. Vent plastic wrap by turning back one edge slightly to allow excess steam to escape. The dish should be deep enough so that the plastic wrap will not touch the food.
Microwave-safe plastics:
Use microwave-safe plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer containers and plastic bags for short cooking times. Use these with care because the plastic may
soften from the heat of the food.
Paper products:
Paper towels, wax paper, parchment paper, paper
napkins and paper plates with no metallic trim or design. Look for the manufacturers label for any special instructions for use in the microwave oven.
Unsuitable ovenware
o Metal utensils and cookware:
Metal shields the food from microwave energy and
produces uneven cooking. Also, avoid metal skewers, thermometers or foil trays. Metal utensils can cause arcing, which can damage your microwave oven.
o Metal decoration:
Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters with metallic trim.
Aluminum foil:
Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they
hinder cooking and may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and wings.
Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the side walls of the oven cavity and door of the
microwave.
o Wood:
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when you use them in the microwave oven.
Baskets made of wood will react in the same way.
o Tightly covered cookware:
Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered cookware. Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before cooking. Tightly closed pouches may explode.
o Brown paper:
Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb heat and can burn.
o Flawed or chipped cooking utensils:
Any utensil that is cracked, flawed or chipped may
break in the oven.
o Metal twist ties:
Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags. They become hot and could cause a fire.
Ovenware test
Do not turn on the microwave unless there is food inside.
The following ovenware test is the only exception to this rule.
Perform the following test if you are unsure whether your
ovenware is suitable for use in the microwave:
1. Heat the empty ovenware at maximum power for 1/2to 1 minute.
2. Check the temperature occasionally during that time.
The ovenware should still be cold or warm to the touch. The ovenware is unsuitable if it becomes hot or sparks
are generated.

become hot during Convection. Always use oven mits.
Cookware tips for Convection
o Metal Pans:
Recommended for all types of baked products,
especially where browning is important.
Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and pies because they absorb heat and produce crisper
crust. Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies or
muffins because they reflect heat and help produce a light tender crust.
o Glass or glass-ceramic casseroles or baking dishes:
Best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to the
cleanability of glass.

Suggestions for best results
To help you achieve the best possible results from your microwave oven, read the following suggestions below:
o Storage temperature
Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same foods would at room
temperature.
o Size
Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones.
Pieces similar in size and shape will cook more evenly when cooked together. For more even results, reduce the power levels when cooking large pieces of food.
o Natural moisture
Very moist foods cook more evenly because
microwave energy heats water molecules very efficiently.
14
o Stirring
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetable from the outside to the center to distribute the heat more
evenly. This will allow the food to cook faster. Constant stirring is not necessary.
o Turn over items
Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts or whole cauliflower halfway through the cook time. This will
help to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.
o Food placement
Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus
tips, toward the center of the turntable tray.
o Food arrangement
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken
pieces or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts
toward the outside of the turntable tray.
o Let food stand
After removing the food from the microwave, cover the food with foil or a casserole lid and let it stand to finish
cooking. This will help the food finish cooking in the center and avoids overcooking the outer edges. The
length of stand time depends on the density and
surface area of the food items.
Wrapping in paper towels or wax paper
Sandwiches and many other food types containing
pre-baked bread should be wrapped prior to placing in the microwave to help prevent the food items from drying out while heating.
Adding cook time (+30 Seconds)
This time-saving feature will let you quickly add 30 seconds to any cook time. +30 Seconds will also start the microwave with 30 seconds at 100% power level. Each time you touch the +30 Seconds key, 30 seconds
will be added to the cook time.
Auto Defrost
With the Auto Defrost feature you can defrost three different types of food by entering the weight. The ideal defrost time will be calculated by the program.
Setting Auto Defrost
1. Touch Auto Defrost once. oc¢ i and START are blinking and the _ symbol lights up in the display.
2. Touch Auto Defrost repeatedly until the desired program number is shown in the display. Check the menu label at the bottom of the oven cavity or see program table below.

Tips for defrosting
_. WARNING
HEALTH RISK Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat or
poultry. Drain off this liquid when turning meat and poultry, and under no circumstances, use it for other purposes, or allow it to come into contact with other
foods.
o Always enter the weight in Ibs when using the defrost
by weight feature (see program table). o Use the defrost mode for raw food items only. o Defrosting gives best results when food to be thawed
is a minimum of 0 ° F (taken directly from a freezer). If
the food has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a temperature of 5 ° F or below, always program a lower food weight or lower cook time to prevent cooking the food.
o If the frozen food is stored outside the freezer for up to
20 minutes, enter a reduced cook time or weight. o The shape of the package will alter the defrosting time.
Shallow rectangular food packets defrost more quickly than a deep frozen block of food.
o Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated
frozen pieces of food defrost better.
o Shield warm areas of food with small pieces of
aluminum foil, if they start to heat up.
Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield food items
like chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails.
Do not allow aluminum foil to touch the oven cavity
when defrosting.
