IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
FOODS
Donot pop popcorn in your microwave oven
unless in a special microwave popcorn accessory
or unlessyou use popcorn labeled for use
in microwave ovens.
Donot boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressurewill
build up insideegg yolk and will cause itto 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 ofthe oven.
Foodswith unbroken outer "skin"such as potatoes,
hot dogs, sausages,tomatoes, apples,chicken livers
and other giblets, and egg yolksshould be pierced
to allow steam to escape during cooking.
Superheated water
Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea, are able to
be overheated begond the boiling point without
appearing to be boiling. Visiblebubbling or boiling
when the container is removed from the microwave
oven is not alwags present. This could result in verg
hot liquids suddenlg boiling over when the container
is disturbed or a spoon or other utensil is inserted
into the liquid.
Toreduce the riskof injury to persons:
- Do not overheat the liquid.
- Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating it.
Foodscooked in liquids(such as pasta) may tend
to boil more rapidly than foods containing less
moisture. Shouldthis occur,refer to the Care
and cleaning of theoven sectionfor instructions
on how to clean the insideof the oven.
Avoid heating baby food in glassjars, even with
the lidoff. Makesureall infant food isthoroughly
cooked.Stir food to distribute the heat evenly.
Be careful to prevent scalding when warming
formula. The container may feelcooler than
the formula really is.Always test the formula
before feeding the baby.
Don't defrost frozen beveragesinnarrow-necked
bottles (especially carbonated beverages).Even
if the container isopened, pressurecan build up.
This can cause the container to burst, possibly
resulting in injury.
Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Becareful
when opening any containers of hot food, including
popcorn bags,cooking pouches and boxes.To
prevent possibleinjury, 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 INTERNALtemperature of 160°F
and poultry to at leastan INTERNALtemperature
of 180°F.Cookingto these temperatures usually
protects against foodborne illness.
- Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow
necks.
- After heating,allow the container to stand inthe
microwave oven for a short time before removing
the container.
- Useextreme carewhen inserting a spoon or other
utensil into the container.

MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE
Do not operate the oven in the microwave mode without the turntable and the turntable support seated
and in place. The turntable must be unrestricted so it can rotate.
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
"suitablefor microwaving:'
If you are not sure if a dish
ismicrowave-safe, usethis
test: Placein the oven both
the dish you are testing
and a glass measuring cup
filledwith i cup of water-
set the measuring cup
Howtotest for
a microwave-safedish.
either in or next to the dish.Microwave 50-45
secondsat 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 ismicrowave-safe.
Oversizedfood or oversizedmetal cookware
should not be usedin a microwave oven because
they increase the risk of electric shock and could
cause a fire.
Sometimes the oven floor,turntable and walls
can become too hot to touch. Becareful touching
the floor,turntable and walls during and after
cooking.
If you use a meat thermometer while microwaving,
make sure it issafe for usein microwave ovens.
Do not userecycled 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.
Somestyrofoam trays (likethose that meat
ispackaged on) hove o thin strip of metal
embedded in the bottom. When microwaved,
the metal can burn the floor ofthe oven or
ignite a paper towel.
Useof the rack accessory:
-- Removethe rock from the oven when not in use.
-- Usepot holders when handling the rack and
cookware.They may be hot,
-- Besurethat the rack ispositioned properly inside
the oven to prevent product damage.
- Do not cover the rack or any part of the oven
with metal foil.Thiswill cause overheating of
the microwave oven.
Not all plastic wrap issuitable for usein microwave
ovens.Checkthe package for proper use.
Papertowels,waxed paper and plastic wrap can
be usedto cover dishesin order to retain moisture
and prevent spattering while microwaving. Besure
to vent plastic wrap so steam can escape.
Cookware may become hot because of heat
transferred from the heated food. Pot holders
may be neededto handle the cookware.
iiiilDiiii
When microwaving "bailable" cooking pouches
and tightly closed plastic bags,they should be slit,
pierced or vented as directed by package. Ifthey
are not, plasticcould burst during or immediately
after cooking, possibly resulting in injury. Also,
plastic storage containers should be at least
partially uncovered becausethey form a tight seal.
When cooking with containers tightly covered with
plastic wrap, remove covering carefully and direct
steam away from hands and face.
Usefoil only as directed in this manual. When using
foil in the microwave oven, keepthe foil at least 1"
away from the sides of the oven.
iiiilDiiii
Plasticcookware-Plastic cookware designed for
microwave cooking isvery useful, but should be
used carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic may
not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as
are glossor ceramic materials and may soften or
char if subjected to short periodsof overcooking.
Inlonger exposures to overcooking,the food
and cookware could ignite.
Follow theseguidelines:
[] Usemicrowave-safe plastics only and use
them in strict compliance with the cookware
manufacturer's recommendations.
F_Do not microwave empty containers.
_JDo not permit children to useplastic cookware
without complete supervision.
Do not useyour microwave oven to dry

Defrost Tips
iiiilDiiii
When using Auto Defrost, the weight to
be entered is the net weight in pounds and
tenths of pounds (theweight of the food
minus the container).
UseAuto Defrost onlg for row food. Auto
Defrost gives best resultswhen food to
be thawed isa minimum of 0°F(token
directly from a true freezer).If food has
been stored in a refrigerator-freezer that
does not maintain a temperature of 5°F
or below,always program a lowerfood
weight (fora shorter defrosting time)
to prevent cooking the food.
If the food isstored outside the freezer
for up to 20 minutes, enter a lower food
weight.
Theshape of the package alters the
defrosting time. Shallowrectangular
pockets defrost more quickly than
a deep block.
Separate piecesas theg begin to defrost.
Separated piecesdefrost more easilg.
Youcan use small piecesof aluminum foil
to shield foods likechicken wings, legtips
and fish tails,but the foil must not touch
the side of the oven. Foilcauses arcing,
which con damage the oven lining.
Shieldareas of food with small pieces
of foil iftheg start to become worm.
For better results,a preset standing time
is included in the defrosting time.
For best results,elevate food to be
defrosted on a microwave-safe roosting
rock.This prevents the possibilitg ofworm
meat juices cooking food during defrost.
A DEFROSTPLATEisprovided for
complete defrosting of larger food items.

defrosted directlg on the defrost plate.

Metal Rack
CAUTION:
To avoid riskof propertg damage:
Do not use rack to pop popcorn.
Rackmust be on the four plastic supports
when used.
Usethe rack onlg when cooking food
on rack position.
Donot cookwith rackonflooroftheoven.
The metal rack gives gou extra space
when cooking in more than one container
at the same time.
To use rack:
I_ Placethe rack securelg in the four plastic
supports.
The rack MUSTNOTtouch metal walls
or the back of the microwave oven.

Microwave Utensil Guide
Use Do Not Use
OVENPROOF GLASS:
(treated for high intensity heat):
Utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake plates,
liquid measuring cups, casseroles and bowls
without metallic trim.
CHINA:
Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters without
metallic trim.
PLASTIC:
Plastic wrap (as a cover)--Iay the plastic
wrap loosely over the dish and press it
to the sides. Vent plastic wrap by turning
back one edge slightly to allow excess steam
to escape. The dish should be deep enough
so that the plastic wrap will not touch
the food. As the food heats, it may melt
the plastic wrap wherever the wrap touches
the food. Use plastic dishes, cups, semirigid
freezer containers and plastic bags only
for short cooking times. Use these with cure
because the plastic may soften from the heat
of the food.
PAPER:
Papertowels, waxed paper,paper napkins
and paper plates with no metallic trim or
design. Look for the manufacturer's label
for use in the microwave oven.
METAL UTENSILS:
Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces uneven
cooking. Also avoid metal skewers, thermometers or foil trays. Metal
utensils can cause arcing, which can damage your microwave oven.
METAL DECORATION:
Metal-trimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc.
The metal trim interferes with normal cooking and may damage
the oven.
ALUMINUM FOIL:
Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking
and may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield
poultry legs and wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch
from the side walls and door of the oven.
WOOD:
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack
when you use them in the microwave oven. Baskets react
in the same wag.
TIGHTLY COVERED UTENSILS:
Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered utensils.
Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before
cooking. Tightly closed pouches could explode.
BROWNPAPER:
Avoid using brown paper bags.
They absorb too much heat and could burn.
FLAWED OR CHIPPED UTENSILS:
Any utensil that is cracked, flawed or chipped may break
in the oven.
METAL TWIST TIES:
Do not use recycled paper products in the microwave oven.
They may contain impurities that cause sparks to occur.
Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags.
They become hot and could cause a fire.

Getting the Best Cooking Results
Toget the best results from gour microwave oven,
read and follow the guidelines below:
Storage Temperature: Foodstaken from the freezer
or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same foods
at room temperature.
Thetime for recipes in this book is based on the normal
storage temperature of the food.
Size:Smallpieces of food cook faster than large ones,
pieces similar in sizeand shape cook more evenlg. Foreven
cooking, reduce the power when cooking large pieces
of food.
Natural Moisture: Verg moist foods cook more evenlg
because microwave energg isattracted to water
molecules.
Stir foods such as casserolesand vegetablesfrom the
outside to the center to distribute the heat evenlgand
speedcooking. Constant stirring isnot necessarg.
Turn overfoods like pork chops, baking potatoes, roasts
or whole cauliflower halfwag through the cooking time
to expose all sidesequallg to microwave energg.
iii;Place delicate areas of foods,such as asparagus tips,
toward the center of the dish.
iii;Arrange unevenlg shapedfoods, such as chicken pieces
or salmon steaks,with the thicker,meatier parts toward
the outside of the dish.
iii;Shield, with small pieces of aluminum foil, parts of food
that mag cook quicklg, such aswing tips and leg ends
of poultrg.
iii,;LetIt Stand: After gou remove the food from the
microwave, cover food with foil or casserole lid and let it
stand to finish cooking in the center and avoid overcooking
the outer edges.The length of standing time depends
on the densitg and surface area ofthe food.
iii,tWrapping in waxed paper or paper towel:
Sandwichesand mang other foods containing prebaked
bread should bewrapped prior to microwaving to prevent
drging out.
