Important Safety Instructions	3

What you need to know about safety instructions

Warning and Important Instructions appearing in this guide are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. Common sense, caution and care must be exercised when installing, maintaining or operating a microwave.

Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent or manufacturer about problems or conditions you do not understand.

Recognize Safety Symbols, Words, Labels

WARNING— Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in severe personal injury or death.

CAUTION— Hazards or unsafe practices which

COULD result in minor personal injury.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE

EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE

Information You Need To Know 9

About your oven

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, 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 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

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 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. 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 900 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.

About safety

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

Temp	Food
160˚F	For fresh pork, ground meat, boneless
	white poultry, fish, seafood, egg
	dishes and frozen prepared food.
165˚F	For lef tover, ready - to - reheat
	refrigerated, and deli and carry-out
	"fresh" food.
170˚F	White meat of poultry.
180˚F	Dark meat of poultry.

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.

•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 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 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.

10 Information You Need To Know

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 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.

About food

General

•Puncture egg yolks before cooking to prevent "explosion".

•Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash, hot dogs and sausages so that steam escapes.

•Use specially bagged popcorn for microwave cooking.

•Listen while popping corn for the popping to slow to 1 or 2 seconds or use special popcorn pad.

•Transfer baby food to small dish and heat carefully, stirring often. Check temperature before serving.

•Put nipples on bottles after heating and shake thoroughly. "Wrist" test before feeding.

•Cut baked goods with filling after heating to release steam and avoid burns.

•Stir liquids briskly before and after heating to avoid "eruption".

•Use deep bowl, when cooking liquids or cereals, to prevent boilovers.

Don't

•Cook eggs in shells.

•Reheat whole eggs.

•Dry nuts or seeds in shells.

•Pop popcorn in regular brown bags or glass bowls.

•Exceed maximum time on popcorn package.

•Heat disposable bottles.

•Heat bottles with nipples on.

•Heat baby food in original jars.

•Heat or cook in closed glass jars or air tight containers.

•Can in the microwave as harmful bacteria may not be destroyed.

•Deep fat fry.

•Dry wood, gourds, herbs or wet papers.

Manual defrost

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the Defrost chart (page 26) 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 30. Follow the exact procedure found under Time cooking. Estimate defrosting time and lower your power level to 30%.

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 30 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.

•Suppose you want to defrost for 5 minutes at

30%.

Sensor Modes

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

Using Sensor Modes:

1.After oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using Sensor Modes.

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.The oven works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, popcorn would be at room temperature.

4.Any Sensor Modes selection can be programmed with More or less time adjustment.

Covering Foods:

Some foods cook better when covered. Use the cover recommended in the food charts.

1.Casserole lid.

2.Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow approximately 1/2 inch to remain uncovered to allow steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not 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.
