WHAT YOU NEED TO
KNOW ABOUT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Warning and Important Safety Instructions
appearing in this Use & Care Guide are not
meant to cover all possible conditions and
situations that may occur. Common sense,
caution, and care must be exercised when
installing, maintaining, or operating microwave.
Always contact your dealer, distributor, service
agent, or manufacturer about problems or
conditions you do not understand.
RECOGNIZE SAFETY
SYMBOLS, WORDS, LABELS
DANGER
Immediate hazards which WILL result in
severe personal injury or death.
WARNING
Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD
result in severe personal injury or death.
CAUTION
Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD
result in minor personal injury.
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury or property
damage, observe the following:
1. Do not deep fat fry in oven. Fat could
overheat and be hazardous to handle.
2. Do not cook or reheat eggs in shell or with
an unbroken yolk using microwave energy.
Pressure may build up and erupt. Pierce
yolk with fork or knife before cooking.
3. Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes,
and similar foods before cooking with
microwave energy. When skin is pierced,
steam escapes evenly.
4. Do not operate oven without load or food
in oven cavity.
5. Use only popcorn in packages designed
and labeled for microwave use. Popping
time varies depending on oven wattage.
Do not continue to heat after popping has
stopped. Popcorn will scorch or burn. Do
not leave oven unattended.
6. Do not use regular cooking thermometers
in oven. Most cooking thermometers contain
mercury and may cause an electrical arc,
malfunction, or damage to oven.
7. Do not use metal utensils in oven.
8. Never use paper, plastic, or other
combustible materials that are not intended
for cooking.
9. When cooking with paper, plastic, or
other combustible materials, follow
manufacturer’s recommendations on product
use.
10. Do not use paper towels which contain
nylon or other synthetic bers. Heated
synthetics could melt and cause paper to
ignite.
11. Do not heat sealed containers or plastic
bags in oven. Food or liquid could expand
quickly and cause container or bag to
break. Pierce or open container or bag
before cooking.
12. To avoid pacemaker malfunction, consult
physician or pacemaker manufacturer
about effects of microwave energy on
pacemaker.

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.
C. DO NOT operate the oven if it is
damaged. It is particularly important that
oven door close properly and that there is
no damage to:
1. door (bent),
2. hinges and latches (broken or loosened),
3. door seals and sealing surfaces.
D. Oven should not be adjusted or repaired
by anyone except properly qualied
service personnel.
WARNING
Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea are
able to be overheated beyond the boiling
point without appearing to be boiling due to
surface tension of the liquid. 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
A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED
INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of
injury to persons:
1. Do not overheat the liquid.
2. Stir the liquid both before and halfway
through heating it.
3. Do not use straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.
4. After heating, allow the container to
stand in the microwave oven for a short
time before removing the container.
5. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon
or other utensil into the container.

Getting the Best cooking results
Testing your dinnerware or cookware
Test dinnerware or cookware before using. To test a dish for safe use, put it into oven with a
cup of water beside it. Cook at 100% cook power for one minute. If the dish gets hot, do not
use it.
Some dishes (melamine, some ceramic dinnerware, etc.) absorb microwave energy, becoming
too hot to handle and slowing cooking times. Cooking in metal containers not designed for
microwave use could damage the oven, as could containers with hidden metal (twist-ties, foil
lining, staples, metallic glaze or trim).
To get the best results from your microwave oven, read and follow the guidelines below.
Storage Temperature:
• Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook than the
same foods at room temperature.
Size:
• Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones, and pieces similar in size and shape
cook more evenly. For even cooking, reduce the power when cooking large pieces of food.
Natural Moisture:
• Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave energy is attracted to
water molecules.
Stir foods
• such as casseroles and vegetables from the outside to the center to distribute the heat
evenly and speed cooking. Constant stirring is not necessary.
Turn over foods like pork chops,
• baking potatoes, roasts, or whole cauliower halfway through the
cooking time to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.
Place delicate areas of foods,
• such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the dish.
Arrange unevenly shaped foods,
• such as chicken pieces or salmon steaks, with the thicker, meatier
parts toward the outside of the dish.
Shield, with small pieces of aluminum foil,
• parts of food that may cook quickly, such as wing tips
and leg ends of poultry.
Let It Stand:
• After the timed cooking period ends, let food stand inside or outside of the oven so
that it nishes cooking to the center and to avoid overcooking the outer edges. The length of
standing time depends on the density and surface area of the food. For standing time outside
the oven, cover the food with foil or a casserole lid.
Wrapping in waxed paper or paper towel:
• Sandwiches and many other foods containing
prebaked bread should be wrapped prior to microwaving to prevent drying out.

If the oven is set to cook for more than 20
minutes, it will automatically adjust itself to
70 percent power after 20 minutes to avoid
overcooking.
Multi - stage cooking
For best results, some recipes call for one
Power Level for a certain length of time, and
another Power Level for another length of time.
Your oven can be set to automatically change
from one power level to another for two
cooking stages, or for three stages.
Example: To cook food for 3 minutes at 90% power
and then 70% power for 7 minutes 30 seconds.

Sensor operating instructions
(Following page 20 ~ 22)
Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your
favorite foods without selecting cooking times
and power levels. The display will indicate
the sensing period by scrolling the name of
the food category that you select. The oven
automatically determines required cooking
time for each food item. When the internal
sensor detects a certain amount of humidity
coming from the food, it will tell the oven how
much longer to cook. The display will show the
remaining heating time.
For best results when cooking by Sensor, follow
these recommendations:
1. Food cooked with the sensor system should
be at normal storage temperature.
2. Glass turntable and outside of container
should be dry to assure best cooking results.
3. Most foods should always be covered
loosely with microwavable plastic wrap,
waxed paper, or a lid.
4. Do not open the door or touch the STOP/
CLEAR pad during the sensing time. When
sensing time is over, the oven beeps and the
remaining cooking time will appear in the
display window. At this time you can open
the door to stir, turn, or rearrange the food.
See sensing chart on page 22.
IMPORTANT:
When using sensor cook, the oven must cool for
5 minutes between uses or food will not cook
properly.
Sensor cooking guide
Appropriate containers and coverings help
assure good Sensor cooking results.
1. Always use microwavable containers and
cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap.
2. Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They
can prevent steam from escaping and cause
food to overcook.
3. Match the amount to the size of the
container. Fill containers at least half full for
best results.
4. 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.
NOTE:
If food is not thoroughly cooked or reheated
when using the sensor feature, complete using
a power level and cooking time. DO NOT
continue using the sensor pad.
