INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For all cord connected appliances:
The microwave oven must be grounded.
In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for
the electric current. The microwave oven
is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.
WARNING: Improper use of the
grounding can result in a risk of
electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the
grounding instructions are not
completely understood
, or if doubt exists
as to whether the microwave oven is
properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power
supply cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician or serviceman install an outlet
near the microwave oven.
For a permanently connected appliance:
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.

Getting to Know Your
Microwaves pass through most glass,
paper, and plastics without heating them
so food absorbs the energy. Microwaves
bounce off metal containers so food does
not absorb the energy.
Microwave Oven
This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows you the basics
you need to know to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information before you
use your oven.
How your microwave
oven works
Microwave ovens are safe. Microwave
energy is not hot. It causes food to make
its own heat, and it’s this heat that cooks
the food.
Microwaves are like TV waves, radiowaves, or light waves. You cannot see them,
but you can see what they do.
A magnetron in the microwave oven
produces microwaves. The microwaves
move into the oven where they contact
food as it turns on the turntable.
The glass turntable of your microwave
oven lets microwaves pass through. Then
they bounce off a metal floor, back through
the glass turntable, and are absorbed by
the food.
Magnetron
Metal floor
Glass turntable
Oven cavity
Radio interference
Using your microwave oven may cause
interference to your radio, TV, or similar
equipment. When there is interference,
you can reduce it or remove it by:
• Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces
of the oven.
• Adjusting the receiving antenna of the
radio or television.
• Moving the receiver away from the
microwave oven.
• Plugging the microwave oven into a
different outlet so that the microwave
oven and receiver are on different
branch circuits.
For the best
cooking results
• Always cook food for the shortest cooking
time recommended. Check to see how the
food is cooking. If needed, touch the ADD
MINUTE pad while the oven is operating or
after the cooking cycle is over (see the
“Using ADD MINUTE” section).
• Stir, turn over, or rearrange the food
being cooked about halfway through the
cooking time for all recipes. This will help
make sure the food is evenly cooked.
• If you do not have a cover for a dish, use
wax paper, or microwave-approved paper
towels or plastic wrap. Remember to turn
back a corner of the plastic wrap to vent
steam during cooking.
Testing your
microwave oven
To test the oven put about 1 cup (250 ml) of
cold water in a glass container in the oven.
Close the door. Make sure it latches. Cook
at 100% power for 2 minutes. When the time
is up, the water should be heated.
7
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
Testing your
dinnerware or
cookware
Test dinnerware or cookware before using.
To test a dish for safe use, put it into the oven
with a cup of water beside it. Cook at 100%
cook power for one minute.
If the dish gets
hot and water stays cool, do not use it.
Some dishes (melamine, some ceramic
dinnerware, etc.) absorb microwave energy,
becoming too hot to handle and slowing
cooking times. Cooking in metal containers
not designed for microwave use could
damage the oven, as could containers with
hidden metal (twist-ties, foil lining, staples,
metallic glaze or trim).
• When you use a browning dish, the
browning dish bottom must be at least 3⁄16
inch (5mm) above the turntable. Follow the
directions supplied with the browning dish.
• Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside
the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs
may cause them to burst, and possibly
damage the oven. Slice hard-boiled eggs
before heating. In rare cases, poached
eggs have been known to explode. Cover
poached eggs and allow a standing time of
one minute before cutting into them.
• For best results, stir any liquid several
times before heating or reheating.
Liquids heated in certain containers
(especially containers shaped like
cylinders) may become overheated. The
liquid may splash out with a loud noise
during or after heating or when adding
ingredients (coffee granules, tea bags,
Operating safety
precautions
• Never lean on the door or allow a child to
swing on it when the door is open.
• Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not
heat containers, but heat from the food can
make the container hot.
• Do not use newspaper or other printed
paper in the oven.
• Do not dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood,
paper, gourds, or clothes in the oven.
• Do not start a microwave oven when it is
empty. Product life may be shortened. If
you practice programming the oven, put a
container of water in the oven. It is normal
for the oven door to look wavy after the
oven has been running for a while.
• Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven.
Paraffin wax will not melt in a microwave
oven because it allows microwaves to pass
through it.
• Do not operate the microwave oven unless
the glass turntable is securely in place and
can rotate freely. The turntable can rotate in
either direction. Make sure the turntable is
correct-side up in the oven. Handle yourturntable with care when removing it from
the oven to avoid possibly breaking it. If
your turntable cracks or breaks, contact
your dealer for a replacement.

etc.). This can harm the oven.
• Microwaves may not reach the center of a
roast. The heat spreads to the center from
the outer, cooked areas just as in regular
oven cooking. This is one of the reasons
for letting some foods (for example, roasts
or baked potatoes) stand for a while after
cooking, or for stirring some foods during
the cooking time.
• Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable
cookware is not suitable and it is difficult to
maintain appropriate deep frying
temperatures.
• Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of
the recommended cooking time, potatoes
should be slightly firm because they will
continue cooking during standing time.
After microwaving, let potatoes stand for
5 minutes. They will finish cooking while
standing.
Electrical
connection
If the incoming voltage to the microwave is
less than 110 volts, cooking times may be
longer. Have a qualified electrician check
your electrical system.

Weight conversion chart
You are probably used to food weights as being in pounds and ounces that are fractions of a
pound (for example, 4 ounces (113.4 g) equals 1⁄4 pound). However, in order to enter food weight
in DEFROST, you must specify pounds and tenths of a pound. If the weight on the food package is in fractions of a pound, you can use the following chart to convert the weight to decimals.

Defrosting tips
• When using DEFROST, the weight to be
entered is the net weight in pounds and
tenths of pounds (the weight of the food
minus the container).
• Before starting, make sure you have
removed any of the metal twist-ties which
often come with frozen food bags, and
replace them with strings or elastic bands.
• Open containers such as cartons before
they are placed in the oven.
• Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or pack-
aging.
• If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place
it in a suitable container.
• Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as
sausage.
• Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even
defrosting.
• Always underestimate defrosting time. If
defrosted food is still icy in the center, return it
to the microwave oven for more defrosting.
• The length of defrosting time varies accord-
ing to how solidly the food is frozen.
• The shape of the package affects how
quickly food will defrost. Shallow packages
will defrost more quickly than a deep block.
• As food begins to defrost, separate the
pieces. Separated pieces defrost more easily.
• Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield
parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips,
fish tails, or areas that start to get warm.
Make sure the foil does not touch the sides,
top, or bottom of the oven. The foil can damage the oven lining.
• For better results, let food stand after
defrosting. (For more information on standing
time, see “Microwave cooking tips” in the
“Cooking Guide” section.)
• Turn over food during defrosting or standing
time. Break apart and remove food as
required.

Cooking
Guide
Microwave cooking
tips
Amount of food
• If you increase or decrease the amount
of food you prepare, the time it takes to
cook that food will also change. For
example, if you double a recipe, add a
little more than half the original cooking
time. Check for doneness and, if necessary, add more time in small increments.
Starting temperature of food
• The lower the temperature of the food
being put into the microwave oven, the
longer it takes to cook. Food at room temperature will be reheated more quickly than
food at refrigerator temperature.
Composition of food
• Food with a lot of fat and sugar will be
heated faster than food containing a lot
of water. Fat and sugar will also reach a
higher temperature than water in the
cooking process.
• The more dense the food, the longer it
takes to heat. “Very dense” food like meat
takes longer to reheat than lighter, more
porous food like sponge cakes.
Size and shape
• Smaller pieces of food will cook faster
than larger pieces and same-shaped
pieces of food cook more evenly than irregularly shaped foods.
• With unevenly shaped foods, the thinner
parts will cook faster than the thicker
areas. Place the thinner parts of chicken
wings and legs in the center of the dish.
Stirring, turning foods
• Stirring and turning foods distributes
heat quickly to the center of the dish and
avoids overcooking at the outer edges of
the food.
Covering food
Cover food to:
• Reduce splattering
• Shorten cooking times
COOKING GUIDE
• Retain food moisture
All coverings that allow microwaves to
pass through are suitable.
Releasing pressure in foods
• Several foods (for example: baked pota-
toes, sausages, egg yolks, and some
fruits) are tightly covered by a skin or
membrane. This can cause the food to
burst from steam building up in them during cooking. To relieve the pressure and to
prevent bursting, pierce these foods
before cooking with a fork, cocktail pick, or
toothpick.
Using standing time
• Always allow food to stand for a while
after cooking. Standing time after defrosting, cooking, or reheating always improves
the results since the temperature will then
be evenly distributed throughout the food.
• The length of the standing time depends
on the volume and density of the food.
Sometimes it can be as short as the time
it takes you to remove the food from the
oven and take it to the serving table.
However, with larger, denser food,
the standing time may be as long as
10 minutes.
Arranging food
For best results, distribute food evenly on
the plate. You can do this in several ways:
• If you are cooking several items of the
same food, such as baked potatoes,
place them in a ring pattern for uniform
cooking.
• When cooking foods of uneven shapes
or thickness, such as chicken breasts,
place the smaller or thinner area of the
food towards the center of the dish where
it will be heated last.
• Layer thin slices of meat on top of
each other.
• When you cook or reheat whole fish,
score the skin – this prevents cracking.
Shield the tail and head of whole fish with
small pieces of foil to prevent overcooking
but ensure the foil does not touch the
sides of the oven.
• Do not let food or a container touch the
top or sides of the oven. This will prevent
possible arcing.
27
CARING FOR YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
Using aluminum foil
Metal containers should not be used in a
microwave oven. There are, however, some
exceptions. If you have purchased food
which is prepackaged in an aluminum foil
container, then refer to the instructions on
the package. When using aluminum foil
containers, cooking times may be longer
because microwaves will only penetrate
the top of the food.
If you use aluminum containers without
package instructions, follow these guidelines:
• Place container in a glass bowl and add
some water so that it covers the bottom
of the container, not more than 1⁄4 inch
(6 mm) high. This ensures even heating
of the container bottom.
• Always remove the lid to avoid damage
to the oven.
• Use only undamaged containers.
• Do not use containers taller than 3⁄4 inch
(19 mm).
• Container must be half filled.
• To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum
1
⁄4 inch (6 mm) between the aluminum
container and the walls of the oven and also
between two aluminum containers.
• Always place container on turntable.
• Reheating food in aluminum foil
containers usually takes up to double the
time compared to reheating in plastic, glass,
china, or paper containers. The time when
food is ready will vary depending upon the
type of container you use.
• Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after
heating so that heat is spread evenly
throughout container.
Cooking you should not do in
your microwave oven
• Do not do canning of foods in the oven.
Closed glass jars may explode, resulting
in damage to the oven.
• Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize
objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to
maintain the high temperature required for
safe sterilization.
Caring for
Your
Microwave
Oven
To make sure your microwave oven looks
good and works well for a long time, you
should maintain it properly. For proper care,
please follow these instructions carefully.
For interior surfaces: Wash often with
warm, sudsy water and a sponge or soft
cloth. Use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or
a mild detergent. Be sure to keep the areas
clean where the door and oven frame
touch when closed. Wipe well with clean
water. Over time, stains can occur on the
surfaces as the result of food particles
spattering during cooking. This is normal.
For stubborn soil, boil a cup (250 ml) of
water in the oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam
will soften the soil. To get rid of odors inside
the oven, boil a cup of water with lemon
juice or vinegar.
For exterior surfaces and control panel:
Use a soft cloth with spray glass cleaner.
Apply the spray glass cleaner to the soft
cloth; do not spray directly on the oven.
NOTE: Abrasive cleansers, steel-wool
pads, gritty wash cloths, some paper towels, etc., can damage the control panel and
the interior and exterior oven surfaces.
To clean turntable and turntable support,
wash in mild, sudsy water; for heavily soiled
areas use a mild cleanser and scouring
sponge. The turntable and turntable support
are dishwasher-safe.

Questions and Answers
QUESTIONS
Can I operate my microwave oven without
the turntable or turn the turntable over to
accommodate a large dish?
Can I use a rack in my microwave oven so
that I may reheat or cook on two levels at
a time?
Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in
my microwave oven?
Is it normal for the turntable to turn in
either direction?
Sometimes the door of my microwave oven
appears wavy. Is this normal?
What are the humming noises that I hear
when my microwave oven is operating?
ANSWERS
No. If you remove or turn over the turntable,
you will get poor cooking results. Dishes used
in your oven must fit on the turntable.
You can use a rack only if rack is supplied with
your microwave oven. Use of any rack not
supplied with the microwave oven can result in
poor cooking performance and/or arcing.
Usable metal includes aluminum foil for
shielding (use small, flat pieces), small
skewers, and shallow foil trays (if tray is
3
⁄4 inch [19 mm] deep and half filled with food
to absorb microwave energy). Never allow
metal to touch walls or door. (For more
information, see “Using aluminum foil” in the
“Cooking Guide” section.)
Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or
counterclockwise, depending on the rotation
of the motor when the cooking cycle begins.
This appearance is normal and does not
affect the operation of your oven.
You hear the sound of the transformer when
the magnetron tube cycles on.
Why does the dish become hot when I
microwave food in it? I thought that this
should not happen.
What does “standing time” mean?
Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven?
How do I get the best results?
Why does steam come out of the air
exhaust vent?
As the food becomes hot it will conduct the
heat to the dish. Be prepared to use hot pads
to remove food after cooking.
“Standing time” means that food should be
removed from the oven and covered for
additional time to allow it to finish cooking.
This frees the oven for other cooking.
Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn
following manufacturer’s guidelines or use
the preprogrammed Popcorn pad. Do not
use regular paper bags. Use the “listening
test” by stopping the oven as soon as the
popping slows to a “pop” every one or two
seconds. Do not repop unpopped kernels.
Do not pop popcorn in glass utensils.
Steam is normally produced during cooking.
The microwave oven has been designed to
vent this steam out the top vents.
