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 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

personnel.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Observe all governing codes and ordinances. A
120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused
electrical supply is required. (A time-delay fuse or
circuit breaker is recommended.) It is recommend-
ed that a separate circuit serving only this appli-
ance be provided.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
• For all cord connected appliances:
The microwave oven 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. The microwave
oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding
wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug
can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the
grounding instructions are not completely under-
stood, or if doubt exists as to whether the microwave
oven is properly grounded.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply
cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or
serviceman install an outlet near the microwave oven.
• For a permanently connected appliance:
The microwave oven must be connected to a

Getting to Know Your
Microwave Oven
This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows you the basics you need
to know to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information before you use your oven.
HOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN WORKS
Microwave energy is not hot. Itcauses food to make
its own heat, and it's this heat that cooks the food.
Microwaves are like TV waves, radio waves, or
light waves. You cannot see them, but you can see
what they do.
A magnetron in the microwave oven produces
microwaves. The microwaves move into the oven
where they contact food as it turns on the
turntable.
Magnetron
\ /
Oven cavity
Metal floor
Glassturntable
The glass turntable of your microwave oven lets
microwaves pass through. Then they bounce off a
metal floor, back through the glass turntable, and
are absorbed by the food.
Microwaves pass through most glass, paper, and
plastics without heating them so food absorbs the
energy. Microwaves bounce off metal containers so
food does not absorb the energy.
• Always cook food for the shortest cooking time
recommended. Check to see how the food is
cooking. If needed, touch ADD ONE MINUTE while
the oven is operating or after the cooking cycle is
over (see the "Using ADD ONE MINUTE" section).
• To help make sure the food is evenly cooked, stir,
turn over, or rearrange the food about halfway
through the cooking time.
• If you do not have a cover for a dish, use wax
paper, or microwave-approved paper towels or
plastic wrap. Remember to turn back a corner of the
plastic wrap ¼to _ in. (6.35 to 12.7 mm) to vent
steam during heating or cooking.
RADIO INTERFERENCE
Using your microwave oven may cause interfer-
ence to your radio, TV, or similar equipment. When
there is interference, you can reduce it or remove it
by:
• Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces of the
oven. different branch circuits.
• Adjusting the receiving antenna of the radio or
television.
• Moving the receiver away from the microwave oven.
• Plugging the microwave oven into a different outlet
so that the microwave oven and receiver are on
TESTING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
To test the oven, put 1 cup (250 mL) of cold water 2 minutes. When the time is up, the water should be
in a glass container in the oven. Close the door. heated.
Make sure it latches. Cook at 100% power for
8
TESTING YOUR DINNERWARE OR COOKWARE
Test dinnerware or cookware before using.
To test a dish, put it into the oven with 1 cup
(250 mL) of water beside it. Cook at 100% cook
power for one minute. If the dish gets hot and
water stays cool, do not use it. Some dishes
(melamine, some ceramic dinnerware, etc.)
OPERATING TIPS
• Never lean on the door or allow a child to swing
on it when the door is open.
• Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heat
containers, but the heat from the food can make
the container hot.
• Do not use newspaper or other printed paper in
the oven.
• Do not dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, paper,
gourds, or clothes in the oven.
• Do not start a microwave oven when it is empty.
Product life may be shortened. If you practice
programming the oven, put a container of water in
the oven. It is normal for the oven door to look
wavy after the oven has been running for a while.
• Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven.
Paraffin wax will not melt in a microwave oven
because it allows microwaves to pass through it.
• Do not operate the microwave oven unless the
glass turntable is securely in place and can rotate
freely. The turntable can rotate in either direction.
Make sure the turntable is correct-side up in the
oven. Handle your turntable with care when
removing it from the oven to avoid possibly
breaking it. If your turntable cracks or breaks,
contact your dealer for a replacement.
• When you use a browning dish, the browning
dish bottom must be at least _ in. (5 mm) above
the turntable. Follow the directions supplied with
the browning dish.
absorb microwave energy, and may become too hot
to handle or may slow 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).
• Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside the
shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause
them to burst, and possibly damage the oven.
Slice hard-boiled eggs before heating. In rare
cases, poached eggs have been known to
explode. Cover poached eggs and allow a stand-
ing time of one minute before cutting into them.
• For best results, stir any liquid several times
during heating or reheating. Liquids heated in
certain containers (especially containers shaped
like cylinders) may become overheated. The liquid
may splash out with a loud noise during or after
heating or when adding ingredients (coffee
granules, tea bags, etc.). This can damage the oven.
• Microwaves may not reach the center of a roast.
The heat spreads to the center from the outer,
cooked areas just as in regular oven cooking. This
is one of the reasons for letting some foods (for
example, roasts or baked potatoes) stand for a
while after cooking, or for stirring some foods
during the cooking time.
• Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable
utensils are not suitable and it is difficult to
maintain appropriate deep-frying temperatures.
• Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the
recommended cooking time, potatoes should be
slightly firm because they will continue cooking
during standing time. After microwaving, let
potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish
cooking while standing.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
If your electric power line or outlet voltage is less
than 110 volts, cooking times may be longer. Have a
qualified electrician check your electrical system.

ADD ONE MINUTE lets you cook food for 1 minute
at 100% cook power or add an extra minute to
your cooking time cycle. You can also use it to
extend cooking time cycles in multiples of
1 minute, up to 99 minutes.
NOTES:
• To extend cooking time cycles in multiples of
1 minute, touch ADD ONE MINUTE repeatedly
during cooking.
• After closing the door, you can enter ADD ONE
MINUTE without having to touch START/ENTER.
• If you touch ADD ONE MINUTE during cooking,
the oven will cook at the currently selected cook
power. If you touch ADD ONE MINUTE after
cooking is over, the oven will cook at 100%
cook power. You can also change the cook power
after you touch ADD ONE MINUTE by touching
POWER, Number pads for the new cook power,
and START/ENTER.
• You can use ADD ONE MINUTE only for the cook
time function.

COOKING AT DIFFERENT COOK POWERS
For best results, some recipes call for different cook
powers. The lower the cook power, the slower the
cooking. Each Number pad also stands for a
different percentage of cook power. Many
microwave cookbook recipes tell you by number,
percent, or name which cook power to use.
COOK POWER NAME WHEN TO USE IT
10 = 100% of full power High • Quick heating many convenience foods and foods
