When using electrical

appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed,

including the following:

WARNING–TO

reduce

the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive

microwave energy:

● Use this appliance only for

its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This

microwave oven is specifically designed to heat or cook food, and is not intended for laboratory or industrial use.

● Read and follow the specific

“PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” on page 2.

“

This appliance must be

grounded. Connect only to

properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING

INSTRUCTIONS” on page 32.

● For best operation, plug

this appliance into its own electrical outlet, to prevent

flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit breaker.

● Install or locate this

appliance only in accordance with the provided Installation

Instructions.

● Be certain to place the front

surface of the door three inches or more back from the countertop edge to avoid

accidental tipping of the

appliance in normal usage.

● Do not cover or block any

openings on the appliance.

● Do not store this appliance

outdoors. Do not use this product near water-for example, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.

● Do not immerse power cord

or plug in water.

● Keep power cord away from

heated surfaces.

● Do not let power cord hang

over edge of table or counter.

● Do not operate this

appliance if it has a damaged power cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.

See door surface cleaning

instructions in the Care and Cleaning section(s) of this book.

● This appliance should be

serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact

nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.

● As with any appliance, close

supervision is necessary when used by children.

● To reduce the risk of fire in

the oven cavity: —Do not use the oven for

storage purposes. Do not leave

paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the oven cavity when not in use.

—Do not overcook food.

Carefully attend appliance if paper, plastic or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

—Remove wire twist-ties from

paper or plastic bags before placing bags in oven.

—Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers.

—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 filaments should be avoided, as they may also ignite.

—Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven unless in a

special microwave popcorn accessory or unless you use popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.

—Do not operate the oven while empty to avoid damage to the oven and the danger of fire. If by accident the oven

should run empty a minute or two, no harm is done. However, try to avoid operating the oven empty at all times—it saves energy and prolongs the life of the oven.

—Do not overcook potatoes.

They could dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage to your oven.

● If materials inside oven

should ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

● Some products such as

whole eggs and sealed containers—for example,

closed jars—will explode and

should not be heated in this microwave oven. Such use of

the microwave oven could

result

in injury.

● Avoid heating baby food in

glass jars, even without their lids; especially meat and egg mixtures.

● Don’t defrost frozen

beverages in narrow necked bottles (especially carbonated beverages). Even if the container is opened, pressure

build

can

up. This can cause the container to burst, possibly resulting in injury.

● Use metal only as directed in

this book and the cookbook provided with your microwave oven. TV dinners may be

microwaved in foil trays less than 3/4” high; remove top foil cover and return tray to box. When using metal in the microwave oven, keep metal

(other than metal

shelo at

least 1 inch away from sides

of oven.

Cookware may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Pot holders

may be needed to handle the

cookware.

● Sometimes, the glass cooking

tray can become too hot to touch. Be careful when

touching the tray during and after cooking.

● Foods cooked in liquids

(such as pasta) may tend to boil over more rapidly than foods containing less moisture. Should this occur, refer to the Care and Cleaning section for instructions on how to clean the inside of the oven.

● Thermometer—Do not use a

thermometer in food you are microwaving unless the thermometer is designed or recommended for use in the microwave oven.

(continued)

Remove the temperature probe from the oven when not using it to cook with. If you

leave the probe inside the oven without inserting it in food or

liquid, and turn on microwave energy, it can create electrical arcing in the oven and damage oven walls.

● Plastic cookware—Plastic

cookware designed for microwave cooking is very useful, but should

carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as are glass or ceramic materials and may soften or char if subjected to short periods of overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooking, the food and cookware could ignite. For these reasons: microwave-safe plastics only and use them in strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations. 2) Do not subject empty cookware to microwaving. 3) Do not permit

children to use plastic cookware

without complete supervision.

● When cooking pork, follow

the directions exactly and always cook the meat to an

internal temperature of at least

170°F.

This assures that, in the

remote possibility that trichina

may be present in the meat, it

will be killed and meat will be

safe to eat.

● 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.

● Foods with unbroken outer

“skin” such as potatoes, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and egg yolks (see previous caution) should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.

● Not all plastic wrap is

suitable for use in microwave ovens. Check the package

for

proper use.

● Spontaneous boiling—Under

certain special circumstances,

Containers and Covers

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good reheating results.

● Always use microwave-safe

containers and cover them with

lids, wax paper or plastic wrap.

Wonder if it’s microwave safe’? Put it to the test described in the Microwaving Tips section.

● Never use tight-sealing plastic

lids—they can prevent steam from escaping and cause poor reheating results.

● Match the amount of food to

the size of the container. Fill containers at least half results.

● Be sure the outside of the

cooking container and the inside of the microwave oven are dry

before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.

● Stir or rotate some foods after

the beeping signal (if required).

Use microwave-safe casseroles or bowls. Cover with lids that fit. If lids are not available, use plastic wrap or wax paper. Plastic wrap should be loose over food to allow for escaping steam. Seal by pressing plastic wrap firmly around edges.

Questions & Answers

Q. If my food is not completely reheated after using Auto Reheat, what should I do?

A. Use Time Cook

for additional time until temperature is reached.

Q. What if I don’t fully cover the

dish in Auto Reheat? A.

Oven senses steam too quickly, which shortens the reheating time and leaves food too cool. Cover tightly and reset Auto Reheat.

Q. Do the shapes and sizes of food make a difference when using Auto Reheat?

A. Yes, in some cases, larger

pieces

will

require additional Time Cooking. Be sure to check suggested arrangement of pieces in the dish, since proper arrangement is often a successful tip in regular microwaving.

Q. Are there any other foods which are reheated best using Time Cook I & II, rather than Auto Reheat?

A. Bakery foods, candies,

chocolate or foods when a dry or crisp surface is desirable, are reheated best by Time Cook 1 & 11.

Q. Would my plastic containers with very tight fitting lids be

appropriate for Auto Reheat? A. No, most types of plastic

storage dishes, butter tubs, etc. with tight fitting lids are not recommended for microwaving. Also tight fitting plastic lids may prevent adequate steam from

escaping and food may not heat properly during Auto Reheat.

the grounding plug can

result in a risk of electric shock.

Fig. 1

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. Where a standard two-prong wall

receptacle is encountered, it is your

personal responsibility and

obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

Ensure proper ground exists before use

Use of Adapter Plugs Usage situations where

appliance’s power cord

Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be

dkconnected

Because of potential safety hazards

under certain conditions, we

strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug. However,

you still elect to use an adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION

may be made to a properly grounded two-prong wall receptacle by the use adapter at most local hardware stores.

The larger slot in the adapter must

be aligned with the larger slot in the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection

Caution: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the

cover screw is metal, and not

insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring. You should have the circuit

checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand. If this

is not done, the adapter ground

terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance

Use of Extension Cords

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we

strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However,

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 appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance (15 amperes).

If you do use an extension cord with your microwave oven, the interior light may flicker and the blower sound

is in use. Cook times may be longer as well.

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Do not drape the cord over a countertop or table where it can be pulled on by

children or tripped over accidentally.
