12. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

13. Do not let cord hang over edge of a table or counter.

14. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a. Do not over cook food. Carefully attended the

appliance when heating food in plastic or paper
containers.

b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags

before placing bag in oven.

c. If materials inside the oven ignite, KEEP OVEN DOOR

CLOSED, turn the oven “Off”, and disconnect the
power cord or shut off power from the fuse or circuit
breaker panel.

d. Never use the microwave for storage. Do not place

paper products, cooking utensils or food in the
oven when not in use.

15. Never heat liquid or other food in sealed containers as
they are liable to explode.

16. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars should
be stirred or shaken and the temperature should be
checked on the inside of your wrist, before serving in
order to avoid burns.

17. Liquids heated in certain shaped containers (especially
cylindrical-shaped containers) may become overheated.
The liquid may splash out with a loud noise during or after
heating or when adding ingredients (instant coffee, etc.),
resulting in harm to the oven and possible injury. In all
containers, for best results, stir the liquid several times
before heating. Always stir liquid several times between
re-heating.

18. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed
eruptive boiling, care must be taken when handling the
containers.

19. Liquids such as water, coffee, hot chocolate, or tea are
able to be overheated beyond the boiling point. 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
SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE
LIQUID. To Avoid this from occurring:

a. Do not over heat liquid.
b. Stir the liqui d before and halfway through heating it.
c. After heating, allow the container to stand in the

microwave oven for a short time before removing
the container.

d. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This
appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding
plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can

result in a risk of electric shock. Consult with a qualified electrician or service

person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the

plug provided with the appliance - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper o utlet
installed by a qualified el ectrician.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding attachment
plug that looks like the plug illustrated at right. Make sure that the appliance is connected to
an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adaptor should be used with this
appliance.

1. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a
3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding
plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug
on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension
cord should be equal to or greater than the electrical
rating of the appliance.

OR

2. Do not use an extension cord. If the power cord is too
short, have a qualified electricia n or servicem an in st all
an outlet near the appliance.

Please Note:

1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the
risks resulting from becoming e n t an gl e d in or trip pi ng
over a longer cord.

2. Extension cords may be used is care is exercised in
their use.

3. If a long cord or extension cord is used, (1) the
marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension
cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating
of the appliance, (2) the extension cord must be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord, and (3) the longer cord
should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over accidentally.

Getting to Know Your Microwave Oven

Cooking Comparison Guide

Cooking with your new convection microwave oven offers
a wide variety of food preparation options such as
microwave cooking, convection cooking and combination
cooking.

Microwave cooking: Uses high-frequency
electromagnetic radiation. Microwave cooking heats the
food directly, not the cookware or the interior of the oven.
Reheating is simple and defrosting is convenient because
less time is spent in food preparation and food does not
stay out on a counter to defrost where it can spoil.

MICROWAVE CONVECTION COMBINATION

COOKING METHOD

HEAT SOURCE

BENEFITS

Microwave energy is
distributed evenly
throughout the oven for
fast thorough cooking.

Microwave energy. Circulating heated air. Microwave and circulating heated air.

• Fast, efficient cooking.

• Oven and cookware

does not get hot.

• Easy clean-up.

Hot air circulates
around the food to
brown the food and
seal in the juices.

• Browns and seals in

the flavor of foods.

• Cooks food faster

than conventional
ovens.

Convection cooking: Uses hot air movement by means
of a fan to provide faster cooking. The fan gently sends
air to every area of the food, q uickly brownin g , crisping
and sealing in moisture and flavor. It produces more even
temperature all around the food by air movement, so that
food cooks evenly.

Combination cooking: Combines the microwave energy
with the convection to cook with speed and accuracy,
while browning and crisping to perfection.

The following guide shows the difference and the
advantages for each type of cooking.

A combination of microwave energy and
convection heat combine to shorten the
cooking time while browning and sealing
in the juices of the food at the same time.

• Shortened cooking times from

microwave energy.

• Browning from convection heat.

Cookware Guide

Microwave cooking: Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe for your microwave oven. However, to test the
cookware before using, place the empty cookware into the microwave with a glass measuring cup filled with water next to it.
Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. If the cookware is warm, then it should not be used for microwave cooking.

Convection cooking: Metal pans are recommended for all types of baked products, but especially if browning and crusting
is important. Dark or dull finished metal pans are best for breads and pies because they absorb heat and produce a crisper
crust. Shiny aluminum pans are best for cakes, cookies or muffins because these pans reflect heat and help produce a
light, tender crust. You can also use oven safe glass or ceramic cookware.

Combination cooking: Glass or glass-ceramic bake ware is recommended. Be sure not use items with metal trim as it
may cause arcing (sparking) with the oven wall or oven shelf., damaging the oven wall, shelf or oven. Heat-resistant plastic
microwave cookware (safe to 450˚F) may be used, but it is not recommended for foods that require crusting or all around
browning.
