MICROWAVE OVEN SAFETY
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 recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
• 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 understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the microwave
oven is properly grounded.
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
grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system, or an
equipment grounding conductor should be run with
the circuit conductors and connected to the
equipment grounding terminal or lead on the
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.
Getting to Know Your
Microwave Oven
Microwave energy is not hot. It causes 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.
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.
For the best cooking results
• Always cook food for the shortest cooking time
recommended. Check to see how the food is
cooking.
• 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 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 in. (6.35 to 12.7 mm) to vent
steam during heating or cooking.
Using your microwave oven may cause interference 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.
HOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN WORKS
• 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
different branch circuits.

TESTING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
2 minutes. When the time is up, the water should be
heated.
To test the oven, put 1 cup (250 mL) of cold water
in a glass container in the oven. Close the door.
Make sure it latches. Cook at 100% power for

ENGLISH
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
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.)
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).
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 3⁄16 in. (5 mm) above
the turntable. Follow the directions supplied with
the browning dish.
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.
• 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 standing 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.

WHEN TO USE IT
• Quick heating many convenience foods and
foods with high water content, such as soups
and beverages
• Cooking small tender pieces of meat, ground
meat, poultry pieces, fish fillets, and most
vegetables
• Heating cream soups
• Heating rice, pasta, or stirrable casseroles
• Cooking and heating foods that need a cook
power lower than high (for example, whole fish
and meat loaf)
• Reheating a single serving of food
• Cooking sensitive foods, such as cheese and egg
dishes, pudding, and custards
• Cooking nonstirrable casseroles, such as lasagna

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.

You must touch AUTO DEFROST once before choosing the food type.
NOTES:
• If you do not enter a weight within 2 seconds,
AUTO DEFROST will prompt you to enter a weight.
You then have 1 minute to enter a weight and to
touch START/ENTER. If you do not do so, AUTO
DEFROST will be canceled.
• If you enter a weight higher than the highest weight
allowed for your food setting, 3 tones will sound
and “RETRY” will appear on the display when you
touch START/ENTER.
• If you touch AUTO DEFROST 4 times, the display
returns to the Meats setting.
• If you need more or less defrosting time, do not
touch AUTO DEFROST again. Touch POWER
before you touch START/ENTER. (See “Changing
preset cooking times” in the “Getting to Know Your
Microwave Oven” section.)
• See the “Auto defrost chart” later in this section
for defrosting directions for each food.
• To defrost items not listed in the “Auto defrost
chart,” use 30% cook power. Refer to a reliable
cookbook for defrosting information.
For even, complete defrosting
• The shape of the package affects how quickly food
will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more
quickly than a deep block.
• As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces.
Separated pieces defrost more evenly.
• Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts
of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails,
or areas that start to get warm. Make sure the foil
does not touch the sides, top, or bottom of
the oven.
