b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic
bags before placing bag in oven.
c. If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven
door closed, turn oven off and disconnect the
power cord or shut off power at the fuse or
circuit breaker panel.
d. Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do
not leave paper products, cooking utensils or
food inthe cavity when not in use.

This appliance must be grounded. This oven isequipped with a cord having a grounding wire with aground-
ing 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.
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 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. DO NOT USE AN EXTEN-
SION CORD.
NOTES:
1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instruc-
tions, consult a qualified electrician or serviceperson.

About your oven
Information You Need To Know
This 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, tech-
niques, 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
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 Microwave Oven at power levels
below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling
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. Cov-
ers 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 over-
cooking 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.
on and off. It is normal for the exterior of the oven to
be warm to the touch when cooking or reheating. [
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cook-
ing. 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. Ventilation
openings must not be blocked.
The Microwave Oven is for food preparation only. It
should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your Microwave Oven is rated 1100 watts by using
the IEC Test Procedure. In using recipes or package
directions, check food a minute or two before the
minimum time and add time accordingly.
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 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.

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 use.
• 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.
About children and the microwave
Children below the age of 7 should use the Children should be taught all safety precautions:
microwave oven with a supervising person very use potholders, remove coverings carefully, pay
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 oven comfort-
ably; if not, he/she should stand on a sturdy stool.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing
on the oven door.
• 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 oven cooking bags away from the face.
• Stay near the 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 pre-
serve 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 oven so
that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do
not touch the safety door latches.
• Keep aluminum foil used for shielding at least
1 inch away from walls, ceiling and door.

Don't assume that because achild has mastered one
cooking skill he/she can cook everything.
Children need to learn that the microwave oven is
not a toy. See page 24 for Child Lock feature.
