and found to comply with limits for ISM Equipment pursuant to Part 18 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide rea­sonable protection against such interference in a residential installation.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in particular installations. If this equipment does cause
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more ofthe following:

• Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.

• Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver.

• Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.

• Plug the microwave into a different outlet so that microwave and receiver are on different branch circuits.

Important Safety Information

SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICROWAVING

ARCING

If you see arcing, press the “STOP/CANCEL” 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.

FOODS

• 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.

• 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.

MICROWAVE-SAFE
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
INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance 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. 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.

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.
