FORPERsONALSAFETY, THISAPpLiANCE
MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED. The
powercord of this applianceis equippedwith
a three-prong(grounding) plug”which mates
with a standardthree-prong(grounding) wall
receptacle(Fig. 1) to minimizethe possibility
of.electric shpck hazardfrom this appliance.
Thecustomershouldhavethe wall receptacle
and circuit checked by a qualifiedelectrician
to make sure the receptacle is properly
grounded.
Wherea standard two-prong wall receptacle
is encountered, it is the personal responsi-
bilityandobligation of the customerto haveit
replaced with a properly grounded threeprongwall receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,
CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND)
PRONGFROMTHEPOWERCORD.
A. IUSAGE S!TUA’I’IONS WHERE APPLlANCE’S POWER CORD WILL BE DIS-
CONNECTEDINFREQUENTLY
Because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions, we strongly recommend
againstthe useof an adapterplug. However,
if youstill electto useanadapter,where local
codespermit,a TEMPORARYCONNECTION
may be made to a properly grounded twoprongwall receptaclebytheuseof a ULlisted
adapterwhich is availableat mostlocal hard-
ware stores (Fig. 2). The larger.slot in the
adaptermustbealignedwith the largerslotin
the wall receptacleto provide proper polarity
in the connectionof the powercord.
CAUTION:Attaching the adapterground ter-
minalto the wallreceptaclecover-screwdoes
not ground the appliance unless the cover
screwismetal,and not insulated,andthewa14
receptacle is”groun’dedthrough the house
wiring, The customer should havethe circuit
checked by a qualified”electrician to make
surethe receptacleis properlygrounded.
Whendisconnectingthe powercord frpm the
adapter, always hold the adapter with one
hand. If this is not done, the ada@erground
terminal is very likely to breakwith repeated-
use. Should this happen, ,DONOT USE the
appliance until a proper ground has again
beenestablished.
B. USAGE SITUATiOh@>WHERE APPLI-‘
ANCE’S POWER CORD WILL BE DIS-
CONNECTEDFREQUENTLY.
Donot useanadapterplug in thesesituations
because disconnecting of the power cord
placesundue strain on the adapterand leads
to eventual failure of the adapter ground ter-
minal. The customer should have the twoprong wall receptacle replaced with a threeprong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified
electricianbeforeusingthe appliance.

true if plastic wrap has been ‘covering the top and

18. Piastic Utensiis–Plastic utensils designed for microwave cooking are very usefui, but should be used
carefully. Even microwave plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as are giass or ceramic
materials and may soften or char if subjected to short
periods of overcooking. in longer exposures to overcooking, the food and utensils could ignite, For these
reasons: 1) Use microwave plastics -only “and use

cooked foods heated together into a main
dish. Rawfoods such as hamburgeror other
meat, vegetables and sauces starting from

withoutchecking,peekingor guessing.

Q. The defrosting times in the Cook Book don’t
seemto be rigM formy food.
/4. Cook book times are averages. Defrosting time
can vary according to the temperature in your
freezer. Foods from freezers set at the coldest set-
tings may take longer to thaw. Foods stored in the
freezer section of some single-door refrigerators
may be at a higher temperature. They may take less
time to defrost.
Q. Can I settheoventocook, then hold?
A. Yes, if you usethe C5EFROSTpad for your cook-
ing setting. See page 20. The microwave oven is
automatically programmed to go from a defrost, to
hoid cooking program. You can also add a second
cooking program after hold, by using TiME COOK
as the third cooking step..The oven will automatiealiy transpose your instructions. It wiii hold first,

you want to use Hoid/Deiay Timer after cooking,
ait to hear the signal at the end of cooking. Then
t the HOLD/DELAY TIMER.
Q. Can I use the automatic simmer setting for
timed cc~kifig?
A. No. You need to use the probe. The probe cooks
bytemperature oniy.
Q. What happens ifI accidentally leave the probe In
theoven whenI’m setting timecooking?
A. Nothing, if the probe is in food. (When you accidentally instruct the oven to cook by both time and
temperature, the oven uses the last instruction programmed.) if the probe is left inside, touching an
oven wali, and not inserted in food you may damage
the oven.
Q. The signal soundsas soon as the START button
ispressed, butthe ovenisn’t cooking.
A. Read the section on programming again. The
signal will sound if your program can’t be carried
out. if you’re using the probe, check to make sure
it’s inserted properiy.
Q. Can! change PowerLevels while cooking?
A Yes, if you’re using TIME COOK or TEMP COOK
pads. Just touch the power level pad then the num-
berpadfor the Power Level you want.
Q. Can 1program for a roast to be cooked at high

This way, you can ”simmer foods as iong as with a

A. Yes, Just follow the stepson page 18.Q. Can 1 get the same results as the Automatic

the LowPower setting?
A. With the Low Power setting, you are iimited to

as with Automatic Simmer*. With temperature cook-

the preset temperature. Automatic Simmer main-tains asimmer temperature for as long as you want.
You can manually set Temp/Hold to automatically
simmer, using recipes in your Microwave Cookbook.
See page 16 for instructions.
Q. Can I combine cooking by time and by temper-

A. The shorter signal is a “GO” sign. Your instruc-
