il If yousee arcing,press
the CLEAR/OFFpad and correct theproblem.
Arcing is the microwave term tor sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused b?:
The temperature probe in the microwave but not
inserted in the tood.
The metal shelf not installed correctly so it
touches the nlicrowave wall.
Metal or foil touching the side ot the oven,
Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven unless in a special microwave popcorn accesso_ T or unless you use popcorn labeled tor
use in microwave ovens.
Some products such as whole e_,-_g_,-sand sealed containers-tor example, closed jars will explode
and should not be heated in this microwave oven. Such use of the microwave
oven could result in i_ljury.
I)o I1Otboil eggs in a

()perating the microwave
with no ti)od inside for
more than a mimlte or t_tx)may cause damage to
the oven and could start a tire. It increases the heat
around the magnetron and can shorten the lite

apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and egg yolks should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.

SAFETY FACT
SUPERHEATEDWATER
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.
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.
Toprevent this frmn 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.
Avoid heating baby food ln¢l S "
g ais lars, even with the lid off. Make sure all
infaru food is thoroughly cooked. Stir food to
distribute the heat evenly. Be careful to
prevent scaldirlg when warming [ornmla or
breast milk. The container may teel cooler than the
milk really is. Always test ttle milk before teediw,-
tile baby.
Spormmeous boilirlg-- Under certain special
circumstances, liquids may start to boil during
or shortly atier removal ii'oin the microwave oven.
To prevent burns t_'om splashing liquid, we recommend the tollowing: before removing tile
container ti'orn the oven, allow the container to
stand in the oven t0r 3(1 to 40 seconds atier the ovell has shHt off. Do ilot
boil liquids in narro_ necked containers such
as sott drink botdes, wine flasks and especially
narro_necked cottee cups. Even if the
container is opened, excessive steam can build
up and cause it to burst or overflow.
Don't defl'ost t_'ozen bevera_,-es in Ilarrow-
necked bottles (especially carbonated beverages).
Even if the container is opened, pressure can
build up. This can cause the container to burst,
possibly resuhing in
injm3.
Hot i6ods and steam
can cause btlrns. Be careful when opening
ally containers of hot food, includino_l )o t)c°rn bags, cooking pouches
and boxes. To prevent possible i_jury, direct
steanl away ti'orn hands and titce.
I)o not overcook potatoes. They could
dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage to your oven.
Cook meat and poult D- thoroughl}-meat to at
least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F. and poultry to at least nil
INTERNAL temperature ot 180°1 `. ('ookino to
these temperatures usually protects against
t0odborne illness.

SPECIAL NOTES AB OUT MICR OWA V1NG
Make sure all cookware
used in yollr microwave
oven is suitable tor microwavir_g. Most glass
casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard /_lps, pottery or china
dinneiavare which does not have metallic trim or glaze
with a metallic sheen can
be used. Some cookware is labeled "suitable t0r
microwavirlg."
How to test for amicrowave- safe dish.
Ityou are not sure ifa disll is microwave-safe,
use tllis test: ['lace in the oven both tile dish you
are testinc and a olass measuring cup filled with
1 cup of water-set tile
measuring cup either in or next to the dish.
Microwave 1 minute at high. If tlle dish heats, it
should not be used t0r 1-11icrowavi ng.
If tile dish remains cool and only tile water in tile
cup heats, then the dish is microwave-sate.
If you llse a meat tiler-
mometer while cookin , make sure it is safe for
llse in microwave ovens.
Do not use recycled paper products. Recycled
paper towels, napkins and waxed paper can
contain metal flecks which ma} cause arcing
or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or
nylon filaments should be avoided, as they may
also ignite.
Some St}Totoam trays
(like those tllat meat is
packaged on) have a thin strip ot metal embedded
in tile bottom. When nficrowaved, tile metal
can burn ttle floor of tile oven or ignite a paper
towel.
Do not use tile microwave
to dry newspapers. Not all plastic wrap is
suitable t0r use in micro- wave 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 may become hot because of heat
transterred fl'om tile heated food. Pot holders
may be needed to handle tile cookware.
"Boilable" cookirw
0
pouches and tightl} closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as directed b? package. If
they are not, plastic could burst during or immed-
iately atier cooking, possibly resulting in injuly.
Also. plastic storage
containers should be at least partially uncovered because they form a tight
seal. When looking with containers tightl} covered
with plastic wrap, remove
covering careflllly and direct steam away t_'om hands and tace.

Use foil only as directed in this manual. TV
dinners may be nlicrowaved in toil trays
less than 3/4" high; remove ttle top fifil cover
and return the tray to tile box. When using toil in
the nlicrowave oven, keep ttle foil at least
1 inch away t]'om ttle
sides of ttle oven.
Tile f'an Mll operate automatically tinder certain conditions (see
Automatic Fan feature).
Take care to prevent the starting, and spreading of
accidental cooking" fires
while the vent fan is in use.
(;lean the underside of tile microwave often. I)o
not allow grease to build up oil tile microwave or
the tiul filters.
o
Plastic cookware--Plastic cookware designed for
microwave cooking is vei T usetill, but should be used
carefiflly. Even microwave- salt plastic may not be as
tolerant of overcookino conditions as are glass or
ceranlic materials and may soften or char if subjected to short periods
of overcooking. In longer exposures to over- cooking, the tood and cookware could ignite.
Ill tile event of a grease fire on tile surl_tce units
below tile microwave oven, snmther a flaming
pan on tile SUl'fate unit bv c( ver w,- tile pan
completely with a lid, a cookie sheet or a flat tray.
Use care when cleanin_r the vent tiul filters.
Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lyed)ased
oven cleaners, may danlage ttle filters.
Follow these guidelines:

Ensure proper ground exists before use.
A WARNING
hnproper use of the grounding plug can result in
a risk of electric shock.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event ot
an electrical short circuit, groundinc reduces the risk
, o
of electric shock by providing an escape wire
for the electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a
grounding wire with a grounding phtg. The phtg nmst be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
Consuh a qualified electri- cian or service technician it
the grounding instructions are not completely under- stood, or it doubt exists as
to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is
ymr personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall
outlet.
l)o not under any circum- stances cut or remove the
third (ground) prong fl'om the power cord.
I)o not use an adapter phtg
with this appliance.
I)o not rise ai1extension cord with this appliance. It
the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician
or service technician install an outlet near the
appliance. For best operation, phtg
this appliance into its own electrical outlet to prevent
t]ickeriw,- of lights, blowir_g ot fltse or tripping ot

Defrosting Tips
Foods fl'ozen ill paper or plastic can be defl'osted in the 0ackage. Tightl} closed packages should be slit, pierced or vented
AFTER food has partially
deti'osted. Plastic storage containers should be at
least partially uncovered.
Famil_,-size. prepackaged fl'ozen dinners call be
det_'osted and micro-
waved. If the food is ill a
toil container, transfer it to a microwave-sate dish.
Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish, stuflirl_s poult D and pork, should not be
allowed to sit out lot more than one hour
after defl'osting. Room temperature promotes
the growth of harnfful bacteria.
For more even defl'ostino- ot larger foods, such as
beef, lamb and veal roasts, use Auto l)efl'ost.
Be sure large lneats are completely defl'osted
before cookino
When deti'osted, tood should be cool but
sot'tened ill all areas. Ifstill slightl} ic?, return to the
microwave vexT briefly, or let it stand a tew minutes.
