GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded.This microwave oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

Warning – Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only,15 amp or more protected electrical supply. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

The microwave oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded. Should you only have a 2-prong outlet, have a qualified electrician install a correct wall receptacle.

A 3-prong adapter may be purchased and used temporarily if local codes allow.Follow package directions.

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

EXTENSION CORD

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 microwave oven.The marked rating of the extension cord should be AC 115-120 volt, 15 amp or more.

Be careful not to drape the cord over the countertop or table where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

Notes:

1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions,consult a qualified electrician or service person.

2. Neither DCS nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the microwave oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the correct electrical connection procedures.

RADIO OR TV INTERFERENCE

Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven to your radio or TV, check that the microwave oven is on a different electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far away from the microwave oven as feasible or check position and signal of receiving antenna.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW

ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

This Installation/Use and Care Guide is valuable:read it carefully and always save it for reference.

A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for microwave cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes.

NEVER use the microwave oven without the turntable and support nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could be placed in the microwave oven. The turntable will turn both clockwise and counterclockwise.

ALWAYS have food in the microwave oven when it is on to absorb the microwave energy.

When using the oven at power levels below 100%,you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off.

Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room humidity and the moisture in food will influence the amount of moisture that condenses in the oven.Generally,covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones.Vents on the oven back must not be blocked.

After using convection,automatic mix or broil, you will hear the sound of the cooling fan.The fan may continue to operate as long as 5 minutes,depending on the oven temperature.

Be aware that,unlike microwave-only ovens,convection microwave ovens have a tendency to become hot during convection, automatic mix and broil cooking.

The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.

Your oven is rated 900 watts using the IEC Test Procedure.In using recipes or package directions,check food at the minimum time and add time accordingly.

ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING

• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.

• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed.Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.

• Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for suggestions: - paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic wrap or a lid.Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.

• Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any thin areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking before dense,thick areas are cooked thoroughly.

• Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if possible.

• Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.

• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.

• Add standing time. Remove food from microwave oven and stir, if possible.Cover for standing time which allows the food to finish cooking without overcooking.

• Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking temperatures have been reached.

Doneness signs include:

- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.

- Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.

- Poultry thigh joints move easily.

- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.

- Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW

ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE

Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave oven with a supervising person very near to them. Between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person should be in the same room.

The child must be able to reach the microwave oven comfortably; if not, he/she should stand on a sturdy stool.

At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the microwave oven door.

Children should be taught all safety precautions: use potholders, remove coverings carefully, pay special attention to packages that crisp food because they may be extra hot.

Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one cooking skill he/she can cook everything.

Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not a toy.See page 48 for Safety Lock feature.

ABOUT FOOD

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW

DISH CHECK

If 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.If the dish becomes very hot, do NOT use it for microwaving.

ACCESSORIES

There are many microwave accessories available for purchase.Evaluate carefully before you purchase so that they meet your needs. A microwave-safe thermometer will assist you in determining correct doneness and assure you that foods have been cooked to safe temperatures when using microwave- only cooking. DCS is not responsible for any damage to the oven when accessories are used.

MICROWAVE UTENSILS

The ideal material for a microwave utensil allows energy to pass through the container and heat the food. Many common household items, such as paper plates and glass or plastic bowls, are good choices for warming foods.

When a utensil is used for cooking, it must also be able to withstand contact with hot food or boiling liquid.

Dual-purpose, heat-resistant paper and plastic utensils can be used in microwave and conventional ovens.Look for materials that are marked “safe for microwave or conventional oven up to 400˚F.”Many traditional cooking containers, such as casseroles and measuring cups, are also suitable for microwaving.

Oven-glass and glass ceramic (Pyroceram®) utensils can be used for microwaving,serving and storing. Oven-glass utensils are inexpensive and widely available. Use them for measuring, mixing and microwaving. Choose clear glass for pies, cakes and breads, so you can easily check for doneness through the bottom of the dish.

Microwave-safe Dish Test. If you are not sure whether your dish is safe to use in the microwave oven, use this test.Place the dish in the oven.Measure 1/2 to 1 cup water in glass cup.Place on or beside dish. Microwave at HIGH (100%) for 1 to 2 minutes.If dish remains cool, it is suitable for microwaving.Do not use this test for plastic and metal.

Pottery, stoneware and porcelain offer the convenience of cook-and-serve versatility. Serving bowls, platters, casseroles, plates and cups are practical and attractive. Look for dishware that is marked “microwave-safe”. If you are not sure if your dish is safe to use, use the dish test above.

Plastic cookware (Thermoset®) marked microwave-safe is designed for microwave oven and conventional oven use and can withstand temperatures up to 400˚F. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations.

Plastic storage containers and tableware marked “dishwasher-safe”and Styrofoam® may be use for short-term heating to serving temperature. Do not use them for cooking raw foods or for heating foods high in fat or sugar, since they distort at fairly low temperatures.“Original” Tupperware® may melt or distort; Ultra 21® lines from Tupperware are designed for microwave use.

Plastic wrap or plastic food-storage bags should not be used for cooking.

Paper plates,hot drink, cups,towels and napkins are good choices for short-term cooking and heating.

Avoid recycled paper, which may contain metal chips, and wax-coated paper cups or plates. Paper baking cups absorb excess moisture and save clean-ups. Plain white paper towels are excellent for warming breads, cooking bacon or covering to prevent splatters. Wax paper can be used as a light, nonstick cover that holds in steam; it also prevents splattering for dishes such as chili or spaghetti.

Dual-purpose paper products, such as ovenable paperboard containers, are versatile choices.They are freezer-proof and safe for both microwave and conventional ovens up to 400˚F.

Metal, such as small pieces of aluminum foil, may be used to shield small areas of food (wingtips, leg ends, breast bones) from overcooking and overdefrosting. Metal reflects energy away from food and

Page 13

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW

slows cooking. Special microwave thermometers design to be left in the oven during cooking and temperature probes are also valuable tools. Shallow (no more than 13/4 inches in depth) foil convenience-food trays may be used.The amount of metal used must be in proportion to the volume of food; foil trays should be two-thirds to three-fourths full. Always keep metal at least 2 inches away from oven walls and ceiling to prevent arching.

Not Recommended for Use in the Microwave Oven Do not use metal pots,pans or bakeware, metal twist ties or dishes with metallic trim. Also avoid utensils with metal screws, bands or handles, metal reinforcement in some baskets or wicker-wrapped handles and conventional meat or candy thermometers. Melamine® or Centura® tableware, plastics that may be sensitive to hot foods, leaded crystal, antique or delicate glassware, fine bone china and ceramic mugs or cups with glued-on handles, brown paper bags and recycled paper products are not recommended for any microwave cooking use.

ABOUT SAFETY

• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agriculture's recommended temperatures.

To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. Never leave the thermometer in the food during cooking,unless it is approved for microwave oven use.

TEMP FOOD

160˚F / 71˚C

165˚F / 74˚C

170˚F / 77˚C

180˚F / 82˚C

• ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when handling utensils that are in contact with hot food. Enough heat from the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin burns.

• Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands.Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dish's covering and carefully open popcorn and microwave oven cooking bags away from the face.

• Stay near the microwave oven while it's in use and check cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food.

NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other items.

•

• Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high quality and minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.

• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing and/or fires.

• Use care when removing items from the microwave oven so that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not touch the safety door latches.

For fresh pork,ground meat, boneless white poultry, fish,seafood,egg dishes and frozen prepared food.

For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and deli and carry-out “fresh”food.

White meat of poultry.

Dark meat of poultry.

• Keep aluminum foil used for shielding at least 1 inch away from walls, ceiling and door of microwave oven.

OF POWER

COMMON WORDS

FOR POWER LEVELS

MANUAL DEFROST

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the DEFROST CHART or is above or below the limits in the “Amount” column on the DEFROST CHART, you need to defrost manually.

You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using Power Level 3. Follow the exact 3-step procedure found under Time Cooking above. Estimate defrosting time and press 3 for 30% when you select the power level.

For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is approximately 5 minutes per pound. For example,defrost 5 minutes for 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.

Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate the portions that are defrosted.If food is not defrosted at the end of the estimated defrosting time, program the oven in 1 minute increments on Power Level 3 until totally defrosted.

When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to place in a microwave-safe dish.

The key to successful microwave cooking is understanding the basic conditions which may affect cooking results.The speed and evenness of microwave cooking are influenced by characteristics of the food itself and by differences in line voltage. House power varies throughout the country. Voltage fluctuates and is lower during periods of peak consumption.

Microwaves penetrate foods to a depth of about 3/4 to 11/2 inches on all surfaces: top, bottom and sides.The interior of foods greater than 2 inches in diameter heats by conduction,as it does in conven- tional cooking. Foods with high water, fat or sugar content respond quickly to microwave energy.

Size - Small pieces cook faster than large ones.To speed cooking, cut pieces smaller than 2 inches so microwave can penetrate to the center from all sides. For even cooking,cut vegetables,fruit and meat into pieces of uniform size.

Quantity - Small amounts cook faster than large ones. Microwaving time is always directly related to the amount of food and increases with the quantity.When doubling a recipe, increase time by about one-half and check for doneness.

Starting temperature - Frozen or refrigerated food takes longer to heat than food at room temperature. Cooking times in this book are based on normal storage temperatures. Since rooms, refrigerators and freezers differ in temperature, check for doneness at the minimum time.

Fat and bone - Marbling within meat or a thin,even layer of fat on a roast attracts energy and speeds cooking.Drain excess drippings in dish during cooking to speed cooking.Bone conducts heat,so areas next to it may cook faster than other areas.

Shape - Foods which are irregular in shape, like fish fillets, chicken breasts or drumsticks, take longer to cook in the thicker parts. To help them cook evenly, place the thickest parts to the outside of the dish, where they will receive more energy.

Moisture content - Microwaves are readily attracted to moisture. Naturally moist foods microwave better than dry ones. Add a minimum of liquid to moist foods, as excess water slows cooking.

Density. Porous foods,such as ground beef or mashed potatoes,cook faster than dense foods, such as steak or whole potatoes, since microwaves penetrate them more easily.Turn dense foods over after one-half cooking time to speed and equalize cooking.

DEFROSTING FROZEN FOODS

Defrosting food with the microwave oven is not only faster than any other method, it can also give better results. Many microwave ovens are designed with a special automatic defrost setting which makes it safe, quick and easy to defrost meat and poultry.

Once frozen meat is defrosted, it begins to lose its juices.Microwave ovens give you the advantaged of letting you defrost meat just before you cook it for maximum juiciness and quality.

Microwave defrosting is easy,but some attention is needed to make sure that the ice crystals in frozen food melt without the food starting to cook. MEDIUM-LOW (30%) is fast enough to be convenient but gradual enough to give good results.At MEDIUM (50%) meat defrosts in about one-third less time but needs more attention.

Place plastic or paper-wrapped package of frozen food directly in oven. To speed defrosting,remove wrap as soon as possible and cover food with wax paper to hold in heat and prevent moisture loss.Foil wrappings must be removed.

Remove wrapping from turkey so you can feel warm spots as it defrosts.Metal clamps holding legs should be removed as soon as possible.Start breast side down, shield warm areas with small strips of foil and turn over after each one-fourth of time.

Let turkey stand 20 to 30 minutes submerged in cold water after defrosting,until giblets and neck can be removed and breast meat under wings is completely defrosted. Turkey may be microwaved with clamps if they are difficult to move.

How to Defrost Bagels and Muffins

Wrap frozen bagel or muffin in a paper towel or napkin.Microwave at MEDIUM (50%) until just warm

to the touch (about 25 to 45 seconds for one,40 seconds to 1 minute 20 seconds for two).Split bagels or muffins and toast, if desired.

How to Defrost Orange Juice or Lemonade Concentrate

Remove one metal lid from 6-once can of frozen juice. Place can upright in oven. Microwave at HIGH

(100%) 30 seconds to 1 minute 30 seconds. Concentrate should be softened but not warm. Pour into container and stir in cold water as directed on can.

Most convenience foods now include microwave directions,making it easier than ever to enjoy soups, snacks, beverages, entrees and desserts. The package instructions are usually for HIGH (100%) for maximum speed and efficiency.

REHEATING

Reheating food is a specialty of the microwave oven.DCS microwave ovens are equipped with special programmed settings or automatic sensors for reheating favorite foods, check this Use Guide for specific directions. For freshest-tasting results, use power levels recommended in chart.

Pasta, rice and rolls. For leftover rice or pasta, drizzle with 1 tablespoon water per cup and reheat, covered.To reheat bread rolls or muffins, wrap in paper towel and microwave only until warm to the touch,not piping hot.Breads heat in seconds;overheating can cause breads to become tough,dry and hard.

Meats. Medium (1/4 inch) slices reheat best.Cover meat with sauce or gravy to protect from drying out. Meats with sauce should be covered with wax paper to hold in heat.Cover meat slices without gravy with paper towel.

MICROWAVE FEATURES

SENSOR

The Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects the vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from food as it heats.The sensor adjusts the cooking times and power level for various foods and quantities.

Using SENSOR Settings:

1. After oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using sensor settings.

2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.

3. SENSOR REHEAT and POPCORN can only be entered within 1 minute after cooking, opening and closing the door or touching the STOP/CLEAR pad.

4. During the first part of sensor cooking, the food name will appear on the display. Do not open the oven door or touch STOP/CLEAR during this part of the cooking cycle.The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this occurs, an error message will appear. To continue cooking, touch the STOP/CLEAR pad and select cooking time and variable power.

When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of cooking time will appear. Door may be opened when remaining cooking time appears on the display. At this time, you may stir or season food,as desired.

5. Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, continue to cook with variable power and time.

6. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when popping popcorn, the oven will turn off, and the correct time of day will be displayed. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when using sensor reheat, ERROR will be displayed, and the oven will turn off.

7. Any SENSOR mode can be programmed with More or Less Time Adjustment.See page 48.

8. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch HELP MENU when the HELP indicator is lighted in the display.

Selecting Foods:

1. The sensor works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, food for dinner plate reheat would be at refrigerator temperature and popcorn at room temperature.

2. Foods weighing less than 3 ounces should be reheated by time and variable power.

Covering Foods:

Some foods work best when covered.Use the cover recommended in the chart for these foods.

1. Casserole lid

2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow approximately touch food.

3. Wax paper:Cover dish completely; fold excess wrap under dish to secure.If dish is wider than paper, overlap two pieces at least one inch to cover.

Be careful when removing any covering to allow steam to escape away from you.

/2 inch to remain uncovered to allow steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not

SENSOR REHEAT

You can reheat many foods by touching just one pad.You don't need to calculate reheating time or power level.

• Suppose you want to heat prepared chili:

Touch SENSOR REHEAT pad.

When sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food,remainder of reheating time will appear.

Convection-Only Techniques

Convenience foods such as frozen appetizers, pizzas, egg rolls and refrigerated bread products bake

and brown quickly with convection-only cooking. Follow package directions for conventional baking times.

Preheating the oven is necessary with convection cooking of smaller, faster-cooking food items that require less than 20 minutes of baking. Foods requiring longer baking time use LOW MIX.

Two-level baking allows baking of two pans of cookies, small muffins or pizzas at the same time. Round baking pans are excellent cooking utensils for many convection-only items.

Bread & Baking Techniques

Preheating of oven is not necessary.Bake one loaf 25 minutes and two loaves 30 minutes at LOW MIX.

After baking, bread should be golden brown and sound hollow when tapped. Do not let bread stand in oven; remove from pans immediately to cool on wire rack.

Proofing dough. Use your own recipe or frozen dough. Place in well-greased bowl or loaf pan; cover with damp cloth. Place in oven at *SLOW COOK 100˚F 30 to 45 minutes.Frozen dough will take longer, 2 to 23/4 hours. Dough is doubled when impressions remain after fingers are pressed 1/2 inch into dough. (*necessary to change temperature on SLOW COOK.)

Braid or other shape. Remove turntable from oven. Shape bread; lace directly on turntable. No preheating is needed.Bake for three-fourths of the time in your conventional recipe on LOW MIX.

Pie Techniques

Custard Pies. Prebake and cool pie shell as directed above. Fill with uncooked custard. Without

preheating,bake pie on round baking pan placed on broiling rack for 30 to 35 minutes on *LOW MIX, 325˚F. If custard is not set,let stand in oven a few minutes to complete cooking.(*Necessary to change temperature on LOW MIX).

Pie Shell. Use mix, frozen pie dough, or your recipe for single crust pie. Prick crust with fork. Preheat oven to 425˚F. Place pie shell on broiling rack;bake with convection heat 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned.Cool and fill.

Frozen Prepared Custard-Type Pies. Preheat oven to temperature listed on package. Place pie on broiling rack. Bake three-fourths of package time using LOW MIX set at the package temperature. If filling is not set, let stand in oven to complete cooking.Frozen Prepared Fruit Pies. Do not preheat oven. Bake on broiling rack. Use *HIGH MIX, 375˚F. Bake 8-inch, 35 minutes; 9-inch, 40 to 45 minutes. (*Necessary to change temperature on HIGH MIX).

Double Crust or Crumb Top Pies. Prepare pie as you would for conventional baking; make slits in top of two crust pie. Preheat oven to 400˚F. Place pie on broiling rack. Bake double crust or lattice pies 25 to 35 minutes on *HIGH MIX, 400˚F; crumb top pies 20 to 25 minutes on *HIGH MIX, 400˚F (*Necessary to change temperature on HIGH MIX).

Helpful Hints for Convection and Automatic Mix Cooking

Your Convection Microwave Oven can cook any food perfectly because of the number of ways it can cook: microwave only, automatic mix, convection only or broil.This Use and Care Guide tells you how to program the oven,with excellent instructions, guidelines, hints, charts and recipes.

The oven cannot be used without the turntable in place.Never restrict the movement of the turntable.

Convection Cooking:

1. When preheating, the turntable can be left in or removed. When using the high rack for 2 shelf baking in a preheated oven, it is easier to remove the turntable for preheat.

Place high rack on turntable along with foods. When preheat is over, open oven door and quickly place turntable, high rack and foods to be baked inside.

2. Do not cover turntable, low rack or high rack with aluminum foil. It interferes with air flow that cooks food.

3. Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils for many convection-only items.Choose pans that do not have extended handles,10”, 12” and 14”size.

4. Using a preheated low rack can give a grilled appearance to steaks,hot dogs etc.

Automatic Mix Cooking:

1. Meats are best when roasted directly on the low rack. A dish can be placed below the meat if gravy is to be made from the drippings.

2. Less tender cuts of meat can be roasted and tenderized using oven cooking bags.

3. When baking, check for doneness after time has elapsed. If not completely done, let stand in oven a few minutes to complete cooking.

Note: During mix baking some metal baking utensils may cause arcing when they come in contact with the turntable, oven walls or accessory racks. Arcing is a discharge of electricity that occurs when microwaves come in contact with metal.

If arcing occurs, place a heat resistant dish (Pyrex® pie plate, glass pizza dish or dinner plate) between the pan and the turntable or rack. If arcing occurs with other metal baking utensils, discontinue their use for mix cooking.

Page 51

CLEANING AND CARE

Touch Control Panel

Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open the microwave oven door before cleaning.Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close door and touch STOP/CLEAR pad.

Interior - after microwave cooking

Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to the interior surfaces; therefore,there is no baking and setting of spills or spattering. To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use baking soda or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water.NEVER SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS DIRECTLY ONTO ANY PART OF THE MICROWAVE OVEN.

Interior - after convection,mix or broil cooking

Spatters may occur because of moisture and grease.Wash immediately after use with hot,soapy water. Rinse and polish dry.Harder to remove spatters may occur if oven is not thoroughly cleaned or if there is long time/high temperature cooking. If so, you may wish to purchase an oven cleaner pad with liquid cleaner within it—not a soap filled steel pad—for use on stainless or porcelain surfaces. Follow manufacturer's directions carefully and be especially cautious not to get any of the liquid cleaner in the perforations on the wall or ceiling or any door surfaces. Rinse thoroughly and polish dry.

After cleaning the interior thoroughly, residual grease may be removed from the interior ducts and heater by simply operating the oven on 450˚F for 20 minutes without food. Ventilate the room if necessary.

Waveguide Cover

The waveguide cover is made from mica so requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good microwave oven performance.Carefully wipe with a damp cloth any food spatters from the surface of the cover immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and cause smoke or possibly catch fire. Do not remove the waveguide cover.

Odor Removal

Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the microwave oven. To remove, combine 1 cup water, grated peel and juice of 1 lemon and several whole cloves in a 2-cup glass measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using 100% power. Allow to set in microwave oven until cool. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.

Turntable/Turntable Support/Racks

The turntable, turntable support and racks can be removed for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy water; for stubborn stains use a mild cleanser and a non-abrasive scouring sponge. They are also dishwasher-proof.Use top rack of dishwasher for turntable support.

Foods with high acidity, such as tomatoes or lemons, will cause the porcelain enamel turntable to discolor.Do not cook highly acidic foods directly on the turntable;if spills occur,wipe up immediately.

The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should not be allowed to stand in this area.
