IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
ARCING
If you see arcing, press the CLEAR/OFF pad 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 antennas).
• 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
• 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.
• Some products such us whole eggs and sealed containers-for
example, closed jars-are able to explode and should not be heated
in this microwave oven. Such use of 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 for more than a
minute or two 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
during cooking.
SUPERHEATED WATER
Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea, are able to be overheated
beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible
bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the
microwave oven is not alwags present. THIS COULD RESULT
IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE
CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL
IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
- Do not overheat the liquid.
- Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
- Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
- After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven
for a short time before removing the container
- Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the
container
• 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 formula really is. Always test
the formula before feeding the baby.
• 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 and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature
of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against
foodborne illness.
MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE
Hake sure all cookware used in your microwave oven issuitable for
microwaving. Host glass casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups,
custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not have
metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some
cookware is labeled "suitable for microwaving."
•If you are not sure if a dish is
microwave-safe, use this test: Place in
the oven both the dish you are testing
and a glass measuring cup filled with
1 cup of water-set the measuring cup
either in or next to the dish. Microwave :1minute at high. 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.
• If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is safe
for use in microwave ovens.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE (CONT.)
, Do not use recgcled paper products. Recgcled paper towels,
napkins and waxed paper can contain metal flecks which nag
cause arcing or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or nglon
filaments should be avoided, as theg nag also ignite.
, Some styrofoam trags (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.
, Do not use the microwave to dry newspapers.
, Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens. Check
the package for proper use.
, Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap can be used to cover
dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure
to vent plastic wrap so steam can escape.
, Cookware nag become hot because of heat transferred from the
heated food. Pot holders nag be needed to handle the cookware.
, "Boilable" cooking pouches and tightly closed plastic bags should
be slit, pierced or vented as directed bg package. If they are not,
plastic could burst during or immediately after cooking, possibly
resulting in injurg. 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.
, Use foil only as directed in this manual. TV dinners may be
microwaved in foil trags less than 3/4" high; remove the top foil
cover and return the trag to the box. When using foil in the
microwave oven, keep the foil at least 1" away from the sides
of the oven.
, Plasticcookware-Plastic cookware designed for microwave cooking
isvery useful, but should be used carefully. Evenmicrowave-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 longerexposures to overcooking, the food
and cookware could ignite.
Follow these guidelines:
1 Usemicrowave-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
IMARNIIklGI P EEERREO
v vw ,. _, ,w., _ '_,,,o METHOD I
Improper use of the grounding plug _ II
This appliance must be grounded. In _ / "
the event of an electrical short circuit, Ensureproperground
grounding reduces the risk of electric existsbeforeuse
shock bg 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 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.
For best operation,plug this appliance into its own electrical outlet to
prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit breaken
We do not recommend using an extension cord with this appliance.
If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an
outlet near the appliance. (See Extension Cords section below.)
EXTENSION CORDS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords may be used if you are careful in using them.
If an extension cord is used-
1 The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least
as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
2 The extension cord must be a grounding-type 5-wire cord and it
must be plugged into a 5-slot outlet;
3 The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over
the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over unintentionally.
If you use an extension cord, the interior light may flicker and the blower
sound may vary when the microwave oven is on. Cooking times may be
longer, too.

Microwave Terms
Definition
Arcing
Covering
Shielding
Standing Time
Venting
Arcing isthe microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused bg:
• metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
• foil that is not molded to food {upturned edges act like antennas).
• metal such astwist-ties, poultrg pins, gold-rimmed dishes.
• recgcled paper towels containing small metal pieces.
Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce cooking time. Venting plastic wrap
or covering with wax paper allows excess steam to escape.
In a regular oven, gou shield chicken breasts or baked foods to prevent over-browning. When
microwaving, gou use small strips of foil to shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs on
poultrg, which would cook before larger parts.
When you cook with regular ovens, foods such as roasts or cakes are allowed to stand to finish
cooking or to set. Standing time is especiallg important in microwave cooking. Note that a
microwaved cake is not placed on a cooling rack.
After covering a dish with plastic wrap, gou vent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner so
excess steam can escape.
Care and Cleaning
Helpful Hints
An occasional thorough wiping with
a solution of baking soda and water
keeps the inside fresh.

Clean the outside of the microwave with
a sudsy cloth. Rinse and then dry. Wipe
the window clean with a damp cloth.
Control Panel and Door
Wipe with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.
Do not use cleaning sprays, large
amounts of soap and water, abrasives
or sharp objects on the panel-they
can damage it. Some paper towels can
also scratch the control panel.
Door Surface
It's important to keep the area clean
where the door seals against the
microwave. Use only mild, non-abrasive
detergents applied with a clean sponge
or soft cloth. Rinse well.
Power Cord
If the cord becomes soiled, unplug
and wash with a damp cloth. For
stubborn spots, sudsy water may be
used, but be certain to rinse with a
damp cloth and dry thoroughly before
plugging cord into outlet.
Do not use cleaners containing
ammonia or alcohol on the
microwave oven. Ammonia or
alcohol can damage the
appearance of the microwave.
