IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

WARNING

To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive

microwave energy:

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” found on page 6.

Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This microwave oven is specifically designed to heat, dry or cook food, and is not intended for laboratory or industrial use.

This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.

INSTALLATION

Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to a properly grounded outlet. See the “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found on page 6.

This microwave oven is UL listed for installation over both gas and electric ranges.

This unit is suitable for use above gas or electric cooking equipment, 36’’ or less wide.

Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.

Keep power cord away from heated surfaces.

Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

Do not immerse power cord or plug in water.

Do not cover or block any opening on the appliance.

Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water - for example, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or in a similar location.

Do not mount over a sink.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE IN THE CAVITY:

Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven while cooking.

Remove wire twist-ties and metal handles from paper or plastic containers before placing them in the oven.

If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

Do not store any materials in the oven when not in use. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.

Do not operate the microwave feature without food in the oven.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF BURNS

Be careful when opening containers of hot food. Use pot holders and direct steam away from face and hands.

Vent, pierce, or slit containers, pouches or plastic bags to prevent build-up of pressure.

Be careful when touching the turntable, door, or walls of the oven which may become hot during use.

Liquids and certain foods heated in the microwave oven

can present a risk of burn when removing them from the microwave. The potential for a burn is greater in young children, who should not be allowed to remove hot items from the microwave.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

OPERATING

As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.

Do not operate the oven without the turntable in place. The turntable must be unrestricted so it can turn.

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 in compliance with cookware manufacturers’ recommendations.

Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave surface when the microwave is in operation.

Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers - for example, closed jars - are able to explode and should not be heated in the microwave oven.

Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and catch fire.

Do not cover any other part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

This oven is not approved or tested for marine use.

CLEANING

Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn off the pad and touch electrical parts involving risk of electric shock.

When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that come together on closing the door, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps, or detergents applied with a clean sponge or soft cloth. Rinse well.

SUPER HEATED WATER

Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea, are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is

not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

-Do not overheat the liquid.

-Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

-Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

-After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.

-Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of

an electrical short circuit,

grounding reduces the risk 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 plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS are not completely

understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance

is properly grounded.

If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

Do not use an extension cord. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.

For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical outlet to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit breaker.

NOTICE: PACEMAKERS

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

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.

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.

For more even defrosting of larger foods, such as roasts, use Time Defrost. Be sure large meats are completely defrosted before cooking.

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 a few minutes.

ABOUT THE FEATURES

The Sensor Features detect the increasing humidity released during cooking. The oven automatically adjust the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.

Do not use the Sensor Features twice in succession on the same food portion - It may result in severely overcooked or burnt food. Be sure to let the oven cool down for 5 - 10 minutes before starting the next sensor cook.

If food is undercooked after the countdown, use Cook Time for additional cooking time

The proper containers and covers are essential for best sensor cooking.

Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Never use tight-sealing plastic covers - they can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.

Be sure the outside of the cooking container and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.

Covered

Vented

Dry off dishes so they don’t mislead the sensor.

How to Change the Automatic Settings

To reduce time by 10%:

Press 1 after the feature pad.

To add 10% to cooking time:

Press 9 after the feature pad.

Auto Cook

Allows you to microwave food choices with sensor.

1.Press AUTO COOK button.

2.Enter the food type code. See Cooking Guide for AUTO COOK below for codes or check the display for food types..

2. Press START.

The oven signals when steam is sensed and the time remaining begins counting down.

Do not open the oven door until time is counting down. If the door is opened before time is counting down 4 beeps are emitted while the display will Scroll & Cycle “SENSOR ERROR “ until CANCEL is pressed. The sensor cook will be cancelled as well. If the Door is opened during the counting down, close it and press START immediately.

• foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).

 

• metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes.

 

• recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.

Covering

Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce cooking time. Venting plastic wrap or

 

covering with wax paper allows excess steam to escape.

Shielding

In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to prevent over-browning. When

 

microwaving, you use small strips of foil to shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs on

 

poultry, which would cook before larger parts.

 

 

Standing Time

When you cook with regular ovens, foods such as roasts or cakes are allowed to stand to finish cooking

 

or to set. Standing time is especially important in microwave cooking. Note that a microwaved cake is

 

not placed on a cooling rack.

 

 

Venting

After covering a dish with plastic wrap, vent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner so excess steam

 

can escape.

Variable power levels add flexibility to microwave cooking. The power levels on the microwave oven can be compared to the surface 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 the time. Most cooking will be done on High (power level 10) which gives you 100% power. Power level 10 will cook faster but food may need more frequent stirring, rotating or turning over. A lower setting will cook more evenly and need less stirring or rotating of the food. Some foods may have better flavor, texture or appearance if one of the lower settings is used. Use a lower power level when cooking foods that have a tendency to boil over, such as scalloped potatoes and some casseroles.

Rest periods (when the microwave energy cycles off) give time for the food to “equalize” or transfer heat to the inside

of the food. An example of this is shown with Power level 3—the defrost cycle. If microwave energy did not cycle off, the outside of the food would cook before the inside was defrosted.

Here are some examples of uses for various power levels: High 10 (100%): Fish, bacon, vegetables, boiling liquids.

Med-High 7 (70%): Gentle cooking of meat and poultry; baking casseroles and reheating.

Medium 5 (50%): Slow cooking and tenderizing for stews and less tender cuts of meat.

Low 2 or 3 (20 or 30%): Defrosting; simmering; delicate sauces.

Warm 1 (10%): Keeping food warm; softening butter.

NOTE: You can also change the power level during many cooking modes by pressing the power level button entering a valid power level.
