Important Safety Information
SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICROWAVING
ARCING
FOODS
If you see arcing, press the “START/STOP” button and correct the
problem. Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven.
Arcing is caused by:
• Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
• Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennae).
• Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or gold-rimmed
dishes, in the microwave.
• Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces being used in the
microwave.
• Only cook popcorn in your microwave oven using a special microwave
popcorn accessory dish, unless you use popcorn labeled for use in
microwave ovens.
• Some products- such as whole eggs (with shell), sealed containers, and
closed jars - will explode and should not be heated in this microwave
oven. Heating these products in the microwave oven could result in
injury.
• Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure will build up inside egg
yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly resulting in injury.
• Operating the microwave with no food inside may cause damage to the
oven and could start a fire. It increases the heat around the magnetron
and can shorten the life of the oven.
• Foods with unbroken outer “skin” such as potatoes, hot dogs, sausages,
tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and egg yolks should
be pierced to allow steam to escape before cooking.
SAFETY FACT:
SUPERHEATED WATER
Microwaved water and other liquids do not always bubble when they reach
the boiling point; they can actually get superheated and not bubble at all.
Superheated liquid can bubble up when it is moved or when something
like a spoon or tea bag is put into it. To prevent this from happening and
causing injury, do not heat any liquid for more than 2 minutes per cup.
After heating, let the cup stand in the microwave for 30 seconds before
moving it or putting anything into it.
• Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even with the lid off. Make sure
all infant food is thoroughly cooked. Stir food to distribute the heat evenly.
Be careful to prevent scalding when warming formula. The container may
feel cooler than the milk really is. Always test the milk before feeding
the baby.
• Spontaneous boiling- Under certain circumstances, liquids may start to
boil during or shortly after removal from the microwave oven. To prevent
burns from splashing liquid, we recommend the following:
Before removing the container from the oven, allow the container to stand
in the the oven for 30 to 40 seconds. Containers such as soft drink bottles,
wine flasks and especially narrow-necked coffee cups. Even if the container is opened, excessive steam can build up and cause it to burst or
overflow.
• Don’t defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked bottles (especially
carbonated beverages). Even if the container is opened, pressure can
build up.This can cause the container to burst, possibly resulting in
injury.
• Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when opening any
containers of hot food, including popcorn bags, cooking pouches and
boxes. To prevent possible injury, direct steam away from hands and
face.
4
• Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and catch fire,
causing damage to your oven.
• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly- meat to at least an INTERNAL
temperature of 160°F (71.1°C), and poultry to at least an INTERNAL
temperature of 180°F (82.2°C). Cooking to these temperatures usually
protects against food borne illness.

COOKWARE
Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven is suitable for
microwaving. Most glass casserole, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which do not have metallic trim or
glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware will be labeled
“suitable for microwaving”.
• If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is safe for
use in microwave ovens.
• Do not use recycled paper products. Recycled paper towels, napkins,
and waxed paper can contain metal flecks which may cause arcing or
ignite. Paper products containing nylon or nylon filament should be
avoided, as they may also ignite.
• Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens. Check the
package for proper use.
• Some styrofoam trays (like those that meat is packaged on) have a thin
strip of metal embedded in the bottom. When microwaved, the metal can
burn the floor of the oven, or ignite a paper towel.
• Cookware may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated
food. Pot holders may be needed to handle the cookware.
• “Boilable” cooking pouches and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit,
pierced, or vented as directed by package. If they are not, plastic could
burst during or immediately after cooking, possibly resulting in injury.
Also, plastic storage containers should be at least partially uncovered
because they form a tight seal. When cooking with containers tightly
covered with plastic wrap, remove covering carefully and direct steam
away from hands and face.
• Paper towels, waxed paper, and plastic wrap can be used to cover
dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent splattering. Be sure to vent
plastic wrap so steam can escape.
How to test for a microwave-safe dish:
1) Place in the oven both the dish you are testing and a glass measuring
cup filled with1 cup of water.
2) Set the measuring cup either in or next to the dish.
3) Microwave 1 minute on high power.
If the dish heats, it should not be used for microwaving. If the dish remains
cool and only the water in the cup heats, then the dish is microwave-safe.
• Use foil only as directed in this manual. TV dinners may be microwaved
in foil trays less than 3/4” high; remove the top foil cover and return the
tray to the box. When using foil in the microwave, keep the foil at least
1 inch away from the sides of the oven.
5
• Plastic cookware designed for microwave cooking is very useful, but
should be used carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic may not be as
tolerant of overcooking conditions as are glass and ceramic materials, and
may soften or char if subjected to short periods of over-cooking. In longer
exposure to over-cooking, the food and cookware could ignite.
Follow these guidelines:
1) Use Microwave-safe plastics only and use them in strict compliance with
the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations.
2) Do not microwave empty containers.
3) Do not permit children to use plastic cookware without complete
supervision.

grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire
for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into
an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether
the appliance is properly grounded.If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall
outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced
with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
DO NOT under any circumstances cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the power cord.
DO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.
DO NOT use an extension cord with this appliance.
If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.
A. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
B. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if
care is exercised in their use
C. If 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 counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over unintentionally.
For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical outlet to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse, or tripping of circuit breaker.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of
electric shock.

UTENSILS GUIDE
This section lists which utensils can be used in the microwave, which ones have limited use for short periods, and which
ones should not be used in the microwave
RECOMMENDED
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.
Microwaveable plastic wrap — Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some steam to escape and avoid placing
it directly on the food.
Paper towels and napkins — Use for short-term heating and covering; these absorb excess moisture and prevent spat-
tering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and could ignite.
.
Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes — Use for heating or cooking.
Paper plates and cups — Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do not use recycled paper, which may contain
metal and could ignite.
Wax paper — Use as a cover to prevent spattering.
Thermometers — Use only those labeled “Microwave Safe” and follow all directions. Check the food in several places.
Conventional thermometers may be used on microwave food 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. You should keep distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between aluminum foil and cavity.
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.
Plastic — Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe”. Other plastics can melt.
7
NOT RECOMMENDED
Glass jars and bottles — Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave. It can shatter and cause damage and
injury.
Paper bags — These are a re 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.
Note:
Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven and microwave on HIGH for
30 seconds. A dish which becomes very hot should not be used.
Operating Instructions
COOKING TECHNIQUES
Your microwave makes cooking easier than conventional cooking, provided you keep these considerations in mind:
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 the outside to the centre. The oven will turn off when
you open the door to stir your food.
ARRANGEMENT - Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with the thicker, meatier parts
toward the outside of the turntable where they receive more microwave energy. To prevent overcooking, place delicate
areas, such as asparagus tips, toward the centre of the turntable.
SHIELDING - Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Areas that need shielding include
poultry wing tips, the ends of poultry legs, and corners of square baking dishes. Use only small amounts of alunum foil.
Larger amounts can damage your oven.
TURNING - Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to microwave energy. This is especially impor-
tant with large foods such as roasts.
STANDING - Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue to cook for a few minutes after heating
stops. Let foods stand to complete cooking, especially foods such as cakes and whole vegetables. Roasts need this time
to complete cooking in the centre without overcooking the outer areas. All liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate, should
be shaken or stirred when cooking is complete. Let liquids stand a moment before serving. When heating baby food, stir
well at removal 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 or allowed to stand so that the heat disperses evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food to help it
cook.
BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE
If the oven fails to operate:
1. Check to ensure that the oven is plugged in securely. If it is not, remove the plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds, and
plug it in again securely.
2. Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. If these seem to be operating properly, test the outlet
with another appliance.
3. Check to ensure that the control panel is programmed correctly and the timer is set.
4. Check to ensure that the door is securely closed engaging the door safety lock system. Otherwise, the microwave
energy will not ow into the oven.
IF NONE OF THE ABOVE RECTIFY THE SITUATION, THEN CONTACT A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN. DO NOT TRY TO
ADJUST OR REPAIR THE OVEN YOURSELF.
