• 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

• 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 burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

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

ENGLISH

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.

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.

• 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE

TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

(a) Do Not Attempt to operate this oven with the door

open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.

(b) Do Not Place any object between the oven front

face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Ensure proper ground exists before use.

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

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

It is particularly important that the oven door close

properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) door (bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces. (d) The Oven Should Not be adjusted or repaired by

anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

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.

VENT FAN

WARNING

•

Clean the underside of the microwave often. Do not allow

grease to build up on the microwave or the fan filters.

• In the event of a grease fire on the surface units below

the microwave oven, smother a flaming pan on the surface unit by covering the pan completely with a lid, a cookie sheet or a flat tray.

• Use care when cleaning the vent fan filters. Corrosive

cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the filters.

The fan will operate automatically under certain conditions. Take care to prevent the starting and spreading of accidental cooking fires while the vent fan is in use.

• When preparing flaming foods under the microwave,

turn the fan on.

• Never leave surface units beneath your microwave

oven unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause

smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread

if the microwave vent fan is operating. To minimize

automatic fan operation, use adequate sized cookware

and use high heat on surface units only when necessary.

Defrost

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.

Changing the Power Level

The power level may be entered or changed before or during cooking. Power Level is set for Level 10 (High) unless it is changed.

1. Press Power Level button.

2. Enter new power level by using the number pads or press

the Power Level button multiple times until you find the level you want.

3. After you have selected the power level, wait five seconds.

The display will go back to the Cook Time screen.

4. Enter cooking time and press START.

1. Press Cook Time button.

2. Enter your cooking time.

the Power Level button multiple times until you find the level you want.

5. After you have selected the power level, wait five seconds.

The display will go back to the Cook Time (Enter Time) screen.

6. Press START.

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

ENGLISH

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.
