Arcing isthe microwave term for sparksin the oven.Arcing is
caused by:

[] Metal or foil touching the sideof the oven.
[] Foilnot molded to food.

FOODS

[] Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven unless in a special

microwave popcorn accessory or unlessyou use popcorn
labeled for usein microwave ovens.

[] Some products such as whole eggs and sealedcontainers-for

example,closedjars-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. Pressurewill build up

insideegg yolk and will cause it to burst, possiblyresulting in
injury.

[] Operating the microwave with no food insidefor more than a

minute or two may cause damage to the oven and could start
a fire. It increasesthe heat around the magnetron and can

shorten the life of the oven.

[] Foodswith unbroken outer "skin" such as potatoes, hot dogs,

sausages,tomatoes, apples, chicken liversand other giblets
and egg yolks should be pierced to allow steam to escape

during cooking.

[] Avoid heating baby food inglassjars, even

with the lid off. Make sureall infant food isthoroughly cooked.
Stirfood 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'tdefrost frozenbeverages in narrow-necked bottles

(especiallycarbonated beverages).Evenifthe container is
opened, pressurecan build up. This can cause the container to
burst, possiblyresulting in injury.

_roblem.

[] Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins or gold-rimmed dishes,in

the microwave.

[] Recycledpaper towels containing small metal pieces being

usedin the microwave.

[] SUPERHEATEDWATER

IMPORTANT SAFETYINFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

ADAPTER PLUGS

Usage situations where appliance's power cord will be disconnected infrequently.

Becauseof potential safety hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug. However, if you stillelect to

use an adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARYCONNECTIONmay be made to a
properly grounded wall receptacle bythe use of a ULlisted adapter which isavailable at most

local hardware stores.

(Adapter plugs not
permitted in Canada)

Alignlarge r_,,,w_
prongs/slots _ _'_ j

Thelarger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall receptacle to
provide proper polarity inthe connection of the power cord.

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.

Youshould havethe circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always holdthe adapter with one hand. If this is not done,the adapter ground

terminal isvery likelyto break with repeated use.Should this happen, DONOT USEtheappliance until a proper ground has again been
established.

_ _'_J_ Ensure proper

TEMPORARY ground and firm

METHOD

connection before

use.

Usage situations where appliance's power cord will be disconnected frequently.

Do not use an adapter plug in these situations becausefrequent disconnection of the power cord placesundue strain on the adapter

and leadsto eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. You should have the 2-prong wall receptacle replaced with a 3-prong
(grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the appliance.

PACEMAKERS

Host pacemakers are shielded from interference from electronic products, including microwaves. However, patients with
pacemakers may wish to consult their physicians if they have concerns.

WARNING!

EXTENSION CORDS

A short power supply cord isprovided to reducethe risksresulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Extensioncords may be used if you are careful in usingthem.

If an extension cord isused-

Changing the Power Level

The power levelmay be entered or changed

immediately after entering the feature time for
Cook Time or ExpressCook. the power level

may also be changed during the cooking.

1. Press Cook Time and enter cooking time.

2. PressPower Level and select power level

lqO.

3. Press Start/Pause.

Variable power levelsadd flexibility to microwave

cooking.The power levelson the microwave oven
can be compared to the surface units on a range.

Eachpower levelgivesyou microwave energy
a certain percent of the time. Power level 7 is

microwave energy 70% of the time. Power level

3 isenergy30% of the time. Mostcooking will be

done on HI which givesyou 100% power.
Power Level10 will cook faster but food may

need more frequent stirring,rotating or turning
over.A lower setting will cook more evenly and

need lessstirring or rotating of the food.
Somefoods may have better flavor, texture or

appearance if one of the lower settings is used.
Usea lower power levelwhen cooking foods that

have a tendency to boilover, such asscalloped
potatoes.

Restperiods(whenthe microwave energy cycles
off) give time for the food to "equalize"or transfer

heat to the insideof the food. An example of this
isshown with power level 3-the defrost cycle.If

microwave energy did not cycle off, the outside
of the food would cook before the insidewas

defrosted.

Hereare some examplesof usesfor various
power levels.

Power Level10: Fish,bacon,vegetables,boiling
liquids.

Power Level 7: Gentlecooking of meat and
poultry; baking casserolesand reheating.

Power Level5: Slowcooking and tenderizing for
stews and lesstender cuts of meat.

Power Level3: Defrosting;simmering; delicate
sauces.

Power Level1: Keepingfood warm; softening

About the time features.

Clock Display

Time Defrost allows you to defrost for a

selected length of time. Seethe Defrosting
Guide for suggested times. (Weight Defrost is
explained in the Auto Feature section.)

1. Press Defrost twice.

2. Enter defrosting time.

3. Press Start/Pause.

When the oven signals, turn food over and

break apart or rearrange pieces for more even
defrosting. Shield any warm areas with small
pieces of foil. The oven will continue to defrost
if you don't open the door and turn the food.

Power level isautomatically set at 3, but
can be changed. You can defrost small
items quickly by raising the power level after
entering the time. Power level 7 cuts the

total defrosting time in about half; power

level 10 cuts the total time to approximately
!/3. However, food will need more frequent

attention than usual.

A dull thumping noise may be heard during

defrosting. This is normal when oven is not
operating at High power.

Defrosting Tips

, Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be

defrosted in the package. Closed packages
should be slit, pierced or vented AFTER
food has partially defrosted. Plastic storage
containers should be partially uncovered.

* Family-size, prepackaged frozen dinners can

be defrosted and microwaved. If the food is
in a foil container, transfer it to a microwave-

safe dish.

, For more even defrosting of larger foods,

such as roasts, use Defrost Weight. Be sure
large meats are completely defrosted before
cooking.

, Foods that spoil easily should not be allowed

to sit out for more than one hour after
defrosting. Room temperature promotes the

growth of harmful bacteria.

,When defrosted, food should be cool but

softened in all areas. If still slightly icy, return
to the microwave very briefly, or let it stand

for a few minutes.
