IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during
the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation
fan or hood.

Read and follow the specific “Precautions to Avoid Possible Exposure to Excessive Microwave
Energy” section in this manual.
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
■ Do not overcook food. Carefully attend
appliance if paper, plastic or other
combustible materials are placed inside
the oven to facilitate cooking.
■ Remove wire twist-ties from paper or
plastic containers before placing bags
in oven.
■ Do not use your microwave oven to dry
newspapers.
■ 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 overcook potatoes. They could
dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage
to your oven.
■ 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 any time—it saves energy and
prolongs the life of the oven.
■ Do not use the oven for storage purposes.
Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils or food in the oven when not
in use.
■ If materials inside the oven should ignite,
keep oven door closed, turn oven off,
and shut off power at the fuse or circuit
breaker panel. If the door is opened, the
fire may spread.
■ This microwave oven is not approved or
tested for marine use.
■ 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.
■ Do not operate the microwave oven
without the turntable and support in
place.
■ 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
or breast milk. The container may feel
cooler than the milk really is. Always test
the milk before feeding the baby.
■ Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven.
Pressure will build up inside the egg
yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly
resulting in injury.
■ Foods with unbroken outer “skin” such
as potatoes, sausages, tomatoes, apples,
egg yolks, chicken livers and other giblets
should be pierced to allow steam to escape
during cooking.
■ 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.
■ As with any appliance, close supervision is
necessary when used by children.

Care and CleaningTroubleshooting TipsConsumer Support
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven is suitable for microwaving. Most 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.”
WARNING!
MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE
■ 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 35–45 seconds 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.
■ 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, since they may also
ignite.
■ Some Styrofoam trays (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.
■ 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.
■ Oversized food or oversized metal
cookware should not be used in a
microwave oven. Electrical shock or
fire could occur.
■ While paper plates may be used for timed
cooking and defrosting, do not use them
with Auto Sensor cooking. Use microwavesafe plates or bowls for reheating. Cover
with plastic wrap.
■ Cookware may become hot because
of heat transferred from the heated
food. Pot holders may be needed to
handle the cookware.
■ “Boilable” cooking pouches and tightly
closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced
or vented as directed by package. If they
are not, plastic could burst during or
immediately after cooking, possibly
resulting in injury. 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
trays less than 3/4″ high; remove the top
foil cover and return the tray to the box.
When using foil in the microwave oven,
keep the foil at least 1 inch away from the
sides of the oven.
Superheated liquid will bubble up out of the
cup when it is moved or when something
like a spoon or tea bag is put into it.
To prevent this from happening and causing
injury, do not heat any liquid for more than
2 minutes per cup.
After heating, let the cup stand in the
microwave for 30 seconds before moving it
or putting anything into it.
Spontaneous boiling
Under certain special circumstances, liquids
may start to boil during or shortly after removal
from the microwave oven.
To prevent burns from splashing liquid, we
recommend the following before removing
the container from the oven:
■ Allow the container to stand in the oven
for 30 to 40 seconds after the oven has
shut off.
■ Do not boil liquids in narrow-necked
containers such as soft drink bottles, wine
flasks and especially narrow-necked coffee
cups. Even if the container is opened,
excessive steam can build up and cause it
to burst or overflow.

If you see arcing, press the CLEAR/OFF pad and correct the problem.
ARCING
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.
■ Plastic cookware – Plastic cookware
designed for microwave cooking is very
useful, but should be used 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.
■ Follow these guidelines:
■ Use microwave-safe plastics only and
use them in strict compliance with
the cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations.
■ Do not microwave empty containers.
■ Do not permit children to use
plastic cookware without complete
supervision.
Microwaved water and other liquids do not always bubble when they reach the boiling point.
They can actually get superheated and not bubble at all.

MICROWAVE TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
Arcing
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven.
Arcing is caused by:
■ metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
■ foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act
like antennas).
■ metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed
dishes.
■ recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.
Covering
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.
Shielding
In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked
foods to prevent overbrowning. When microwaving, you
use small strips of foil to shield thin parts, such as the tips
of wings and legs on poultry, which would cook before
larger parts.
Standing Time
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 especially important in microwave
cooking. Note that a microwaved cake is not placed on
a cooling rack.
Venting
After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the
plastic wrap by turning back one corner so excess steam
can escape.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

WARNING!
SELF-CLEANING LOWER OVEN
■ Stand away from the oven when opening
the oven door. Hot air or steam which
escapes can cause burns to hands, face
and/or eyes.
■ Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
■ Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
■ Keep the cooking center clean and free
of accumulations of grease or spillovers,
which may ignite.
■ Never leave the oven door open when you
are not watching the cooking center.
■ Place the oven shelf in the desired
position while the oven is cool. If shelves
must be handled when hot, do not let pot
holder contact the heating elements.
■ When using cooking or roasting bags
in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s
directions.
■ Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is
also a precaution against burns from
touching hot surfaces of the door or
oven walls.
■ Do not use the oven for a storage area.
Items stored in an oven can ignite.
■ Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils or food in the oven when not
in use.
■ After broiling, always take any broiler
pan out of the oven and clean it. Leftover
grease in a broiler pan can catch fire next
time you use the oven.
■ Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
■ Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings
in or near your oven.
■ Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s
Manual.
■ Do not clean the door gasket. The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage or
move the gasket.
■ Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial
oven cleaner or oven liner protective
coating of any kind should be used in or
around any part of the oven. Residue from
oven cleaners will damage the inside of
the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.
■ Before self-cleaning the oven, remove
shiny, silver-colored oven shelves (on some
models) and all other cookware.
■ Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting a self-cleaning cycle.
■ If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,
turn the oven off and disconnect the
power supply. Have it serviced by a
qualified technician.
■ Listen for a fan—a fan noise should be
heard sometime during the cleaning
cycle. If not, call for service before
self-cleaning again.

Changing the microwave power level.
The power level may be entered or changed immediately after entering the feature time for Time Cook,
Time Defrost or Express Cook. The power level may also be changed during time countdown.
To change the power level…
Press the TIME COOK pad or the
TIME DEFROST pad.
Enter cooking or defrosting time.
Press the POWER LEVEL pad.
Select desired power level 1–10.
Press the START pad.
Variable power levels add flexibility to microwave
cooking. The power levels on the microwave oven
can be compared to the surface units on a range.
Each power level gives you microwave energy a
certain percent of the time.
■ Power level 7 is microwave energy 70%
of the time.
■ Power level 3 is energy 30% of the
time.
■ Most cooking will be done on High
(power level 10) which gives you 100%
power. Power level 10 will cook faster
but food may need more frequent
stirring, rotating or turning over.
A lower setting will cook more evenly
and need less stirring or rotating of the
food. Some foods may have better flavor,
texture or appearance if one of the lower
settings is used. Use a lower power level
when cooking foods that have a tendency
to boil over, such as scalloped potatoes.
Rest periods (when the microwave
energy cycles off) give time for the food
to “equalize” or transfer heat to the inside
of the food. An example of this is shown
with power level 3—the defrost cycle.
If microwave energy did not cycle off,
the outside of the food would cook
before the inside was defrosted.
Here are some examples of uses for
various power levels:
■ High 10: Fish, bacon, vegetables,
boiling liquids.
■ Med-High 7: Gentle cooking of meat
and poultry; baking casseroles and
reheating.
■ Medium 5: Slow cooking and
tenderizing for stews and less tender
cuts of meat.
■ Low 2 or 3: Defrosting; simmering;
delicate sauces.
■ Warm 1: Keeping food warm; softening
butter.
