ARCING
FOODS
If you see arcing, press the CLEAR/OFF pad
mid correct the problem.
Arcing is tile inicrowave teim ti)i" sparks in tile
oven. Arcing is caused by:
• Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
• Foil not molded to food (upturned edges
act like m_tennas).
• 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 tile heat around tile magnetron
and can shorten tile lite of tile oven.
• Hot foods and steam can cause burns.
Be careful when opening any containers (if
hot ti)od, including popcorn bags, cooking
pouches and boxes. To prevent possible
iI_jury, direct steam away fl'om hands and thce.
, Foods with unbroken outer "skin" such as
potatoes, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken
livers and other giblets and egg yolks shouhl
be pierced to allow steam to escape din'big
cooking.
• Do not overcook potatoes. They could
dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage
to yotlr ove*l.
• Some products such as whole eggs and
sealed containers--till" example, closed jars--
are able to explode and should **lit be
heated ill this microwave oven. Stlch use of
tile microwave oven couhl result in iI_jury.
• Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven.
Pressure will build up inside egg yolk and will
cause it to bm'st, possibly resulting in i_jury.
• Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even
with the lid off. Make sm'e all inihnt _i)od is
thoroughly cooked. Stir ti/od to distribute
the heat evenly. Be careful to prevent scalding
when warming formula. The container inav
feel cooler than tile fiwInula really is. Always
test tile fl)rmula bed)re feeding tile baby.
• Do not defrost frozen beverages in na_rrow-
necked bottles (especially carbonated
beverages). Eve** if the container is opened,
pressure can build up. This can cause tile
container to bm'st, possibly resulting in ii_jury.
• 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.
SAFETY FACT--Superheated water,
I,iquids, such as watei; cottee or tea, are able
to be overheated beyond the boiling point
without al)l)earing to be boiling. Visible
bubbling or boiling when the container is
relnoved froln tile ulicrowave oven is not
always present. THIS COUI,D RESUI,T IN
VERY HOT I,IQUIDS SUDDENLY BOIl,IN(;
OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS
DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER
UTENSIl, IS INSERTED INTO THE I,IQUID.
To reduce tile risk of ii_jury to i)ersons:
-- Do not overheat tile liquid.
-- Stir tile liquid both before and halt\vav
through heating it.
-- Do not use straight-sided containers with
narrow necks,
--Alter heating, allow tile container to stand
ill tile ulicrowave oven li)r a sht/rt tin/e
betore renloving tile container.
-- Use extreule care when inserting a spoon
or other utensil into tile container.
• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly--uleat
to at least an INTERNAl, teull)erature of
160°F and poultry to at least an INTERNAl,
teuli)erature of 180°1. (_ooking to these
teuli)eratures usually protects against
toodborne ilhless.
• Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven
unless it is in a special n/icrowave popciirn
accessory or tlnless roll use l)Ol)corn labeled
tor rise iI1 ulicrowave ()veils.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE
Make sure all cookware used in yore"
microwave oven is suitable flir microwaving.
Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes,
measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or
china dinnerware which does *lot have metallic
trim or glaze with a metallic sheen ca** be
used. Some cookware is labeled "suitable for
I//i CrOWel Vi 51 g."
" If you are not sure if a dish is microwave-sate,
use this test: Place in the oven both the dish
you are testing and a glass measuring cup
filled with one cup of wates_set the
measuring cup either in or next to the dish.
Microwave 1 minute at high. If the dish heats,
it should not be used fl)r microwaving.
If the dish remains cool and only the water in
the cup heats, then the dish is microwave-saSh.
, If you use a meat thenmm*eter while cooldng,
make stls"e it is satb fi)r rise in l/,icrowave ovesis.
, Do not use recycled paper products. Recycled
paper towels, napkins and waxed paper can
contain metal flecks which may cause arcing
or ignite. Paper prodHcts containing nylon {)5"
nvhm filaments should be avoided, as they
mav also ignite.
" Some styroflmm trax:s (like those that meat
is packaged on) have a thin strip of metal
embedded in the bottom. When microwave&
the metal ca** bm'n the floor of the oven {)5"
ignite a paper towel,
" Do not use the microwave oven to dry
newspapers.
, Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap
can be used to cover dishes in order to retain
moisture a_ad prevent spattering. Be sure to
vent plastic wrap so steam can escape.
, Cookware may become hot because of heat
traaasferred from the heated food. Pot holdel_
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 ii_ju U. Also,
plastic storage containers should be at least
partially tmcovered because they fl)rm a tight
seal. When cooking with containers tightly
covered with plastic wrap, remove covering
carehfllv and direct steam away fl'om hands
and ihce.
" Use foil only as directed in this guide.
TV dinners may be microwaved in fl)il trax:s
less than 3/4" high; remove the top tbil cover
and return the tray to the box. When using
foil in the microwave oven, kee I) the flfil at
least 1" away fi'om the sides of the oven.
, Plastic cookware--Plastic cookware designed
for microwave cooking is very usehfl, but
should be used carehfllv. 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
pel_iods of overcooking. In longer exposm'es
to overcooking, the food and cookware
could ignite.
Follow these guidelines:
1. Use microwave-sate plastics only and
use them in strict compliance with the
cookware manufhcturer's recommendations.
2. Do not microwave empt_ containers.
3. Do not permit children to use plastic
cookware without complete supervision.
" Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in
microwave ovens. Check the package for
proper use.

of the grounding plug can result in a risk
of electric shock.
This appliance nmst be grounded. In the
event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing
an escape wire tor the electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a power cord
having a grounding wire with a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded. (Fig. 1)
Fig, 1
PREFERREDMETHOD
_nsure propergr?_' r_und
exists before use
Consult a qualified electrician or service
technician if the grounding instructions are not
completely tmderstood, or if doubt exists as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is your personal responsibili_'
and obligation to have it replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle.
Do not under ally circumstances cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
_'e do not recommend using an extension
cord with this appliance. If the power cord is
too short, have a qualified electrician or service
technician install an outlet near the appliance.
(See the Extension Cords section.)
For best operation, plug this appliance into its
own electrical outlet to prevent flickering of
lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit
breaker,
USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS
Usage situations where appliance's power cord
will be disconnected infrequently.
Because of potential sMbtv hazards under
ce**ain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an adapter plug. However,
if you still elect to use an adapter, where local
codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNE( TION
mav be made to a properly grounded 2-prong
wall receptacle bv the use of a UL listed
adapter (Fig. 2) which is available at most
local hardware stores.
TEMPORARYMETHOD
Fig. 2
(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada) _,_
Align large prongs/slots _li !_ ]l
_1 Ensure proper ground and
( firm connection before use
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned
with the larger slot in the wall receptacle to
provide proper polarity in the connection of
the power cord.
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground
terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw
does not grotmd the appliance unless the
cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and
the wall receptacle is grotmded through the
house wiring. You should have the circuit
checked by a qualified electrician to make
sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnecting tile power cord fl'om the
adapter, always hold the adapter with one
hand. If this is not done, the adapter gIotmd
terminal is very likely to break with repeated
use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the
appliance until a proper grotmd has again
been established.
Usage situations where appliance's power cord
will be disconnected frequently.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations
because fl'equent disconnection of the power
cord places undue strain on the adapter and
leads to eventual fifilure of the adapter ground
terminal. D)u should have tile 2-prong wall
receptacle replaced with a 3-prong (grounding)
receptacle by a qualified electrician beibre
using the appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce
the risks resulting fi'om becoming entangled in
or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords may be used if'win are careful
in using them.
If an extension co_d is used--
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set
o_ extension cord should be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The extension cord i_ltlSt be a grounding-
type 3-Mre cord and it mtlSt be plugged into
a 3-slot outlet.
3. The longer cord should be arranged so that
it will not drape over the cotmtertop or
tabletop M_ere it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over tmintentionall_.
If xou use an extension cord, the interior light
may flicker and the blower sound may w_r_
when the microwave oven is on, Cooking times
may be longer, too,

Variable power levels add flexibilit_ to yore"
microwave cooking. Tile power levels on your
microwave oven can be compared to the
sur_hce 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 tile time. Most cooking will be done on
High (power level 10) which gives you
100% power.
Power level 10 will cook fitster but ik_od may
need more fl'equent stirring, rotating or
turning over. A lower setting will cook more
evenly and need less stirring or rotating of
tile fi)od.
Some lk)ods may have better flavor, texture or
appearance if one of the lower settings is used.
Use a lower power level when cooking tbods
that have a tendency to boil oveg such as
scalloped potatoes.

At one half of selected defl'osting time, the
oven signals "TURN." At this time, turn fl)od
over and break apart or rearrange pieces tor
more even defl'osting. Shield any warm areas
with small pieces of foil. The oven will
continue to dei/"ost if you don't open the
door and turn the fl)od.
A dull thumping noise may be beard during
deti'osting. This is normal when oven is not
operating at High power.
Defrosting Tips
* Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be
defl'osted in the package. Closed packages
should be slit, pierced or vented AFTER
fl)od has partially defl'osted. Plastic storage
containers should be partially tmcovered.
* FamilDsize, prepackaged fl'ozen dinners can
be deii'osted and microwaved. If the fl)od is
in a till containec transibr it to a microwave-
sate dish.
@
* For more even defl'osting of larger foods,
such as roasts, use Auto Det/"ost. Be sm'e
large meats are completely defl'osted bet)re
cooking.
* Foods that spoil easily should not be allowed
to sit out fl_r more than one horn" after
defl'osting. Room temperature promotes
the growth of harmful bacteria.
* When defl'osted, food should be cool bm
sottened in all areas. If still slightly icy, return
to the microwave very briefly, or let it stand
a iew minutes.
