MICROWAVE ENERGY
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the
electrical current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord that has a
grounding wire with a grounding plug. The power
cord must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
grounded. If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall
outlet, it is your responsibility to have it replaced
with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The serial rating plate indicates the voltage and
frequency the appliance is designed for.
WARNING - Improper use of the grounding
plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualifi ed electrician or service agent
if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
Do not connect your appliance to extension cords
or together with another appliance in the same wall
outlet. Do not splice the power cord. Do not under
any circumstances cut or remove the third ground
prong from the power cord.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similar qualifi ed person in order to avoid hazard.
• Do not attempt to operate the appliance with the
door open as this can result in harmful exposure
to microwave energy. Do not tamper with or

Important Safety Information
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
This appliance is specifi cally designed to heat,
cook or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or
laboratory use.
Do not store or use this appliance outdoors. Do not
use this appliance near water.
Do not overcook food. Carefully watch the
appliance when it is in use.
Remove wire twist-ties before placing items in the
appliance.
Do not use the appliance for storage purposes. Do
not leave items inside the appliance when not in
use.
Do not heat oil or fat for deep frying as it is diffi cult
to control the temperature of oil in a microwave.
Pierce foods with thick skins such as potatoes,
squash and apples before cooking.
SAFETY - SUPERHEATED LIQUID
Liquids are able to be overheated beyond the
boiling point without appearing to be boiling
due to the surface tension of the liquid. Visible
bubbling will not always be present when the liquid
is removed from the appliance. This could result
in very hot liquids suddenly boiling over when a
utensil or other item such as a tea bag is inserted
into the liquid.
To reduce the risk of injury:
• Do not overheat liquids. Do not heat any liquid
for more than 2 minutes per cup.
• Stir liquids before and halfway through heating.
• Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow
necks as this can cause a build up of steam.
• Superheated liquid can begin to spontaneously
boil when removed from the microwave.
After heating, allow the liquid to stand in the
microwave for 30 seconds before removing.
• Use extreme care when inserting a utensil or
other item into hot liquids.
Some items such as whole eggs or sealed containers
have the possibility of exploding when heated and
should not be placed in this appliance.
Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat
transferred from heated food. Pot holders may be
required.
Only use thermometers which are specifi cally
designed for use in microwaves.
Do not operate any heating or cooking appliance
beneath this appliance.
Ensure that the glass tray and rollers are in the
correct position before use to avoid possible spills.
Do not operate this appliance when it is empty as
this will increase the heat around the magnetron
and can damage the appliance or cause a fi re.
If items inside the appliance should ignite, keep the
door closed, turn the appliance off and disconnect
the power cord.
The contents of milk bottles and baby food jars
should be stirred or shaken and the temperature
checked before serving in order to avoid burns.
Do not defrost frozen beverages, especially
carbonated beverages, in this appliance as they
could explode.
Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful
when opening any container than has been heated
in the appliance. Direct the opening away from
hands and face to avoid burns.
SAFETY - ARCING
Arcing refers to sparks inside the microwave while it
is in operation. Arcing is caused by:
• Metal or foil inside the appliance.
• Recycled paper towels being used inside the
appliance, as these can contain small pieces of
metal.
If arcing is present, stop operation and remove any
metal or paper towels from the appliance.

COOKING TECHNIQUES
To achieve the best results when cooking in this
appliance, follow the suggestions below.
STIRRING
Stir foods while cooking to distribute heat evenly.
Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy
and will heat more quickly so stir from the outside of
the dish toward the center.
ARRANGEMENT
Arrange unevenly shaped foods thicker, meatier
parts toward the outside of the turntable so they
receive more heat. To prevent overcooking, place
delicate items toward the center of the turntable.
SHIELDING
Delicate foods can be shielded with narrow strips
of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Use only
small amounts of foil as this can cause arcing and
damage to the appliance.
TURNING
Turn food over midway through cooking to expose
all parts to the microwave energy. This is important
with large items and meat.
STANDING
Foods cooked in a microwave build up internal
heat and continue to cook for a few minutes after
heating stops. Let foods stand to complete cooking,
especially meats and liquids. All liquids should be
allowed to stand for a few minutes after cooking
and should be shaken or stirred before consuming.
ADDING MOISTURE
Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules.
Food that is uneven in moisture content should be
covered and allowed to stand after cooking to allow
the heat to disperse evenly. Add a small amount of
water to dry food to help it cook.
