*Do not cover any part of the oven with metal foil.

Doing so will cause overheating of the oven.
*Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea are able

to overheat 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 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 caution when inserting a spoon
or other utensil into the container.

iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

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

WARNING: To reduce the risk of

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

• Read all instructions before using the
microwave oven.

• Read and follow the specific
'_PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE

EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY" found on page 5.

• The microwave oven must be grounded.
Connect only to properly grounded outtet.

See '_GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS" found
on page 5.

• Install or locate the microwave oven only in
accordance with the provided installation

instructions.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

•Some products such as whole eggs in
the shell and sealed containers, such as

dosed jars, can explode and shoutd not
be heated in the microwave oven.

• Use the microwave oven only for its

intended use as described in this manual.

*Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors

in the microwave oven. This type of oven
is specifically designed to heat, cook, or
dry food. It is not designed for industrial

or laboratory use.

*As with any appliance, close supervision

is necessary when used by children.

• Do not operate the microwave oven if

it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is
not working properly, or if it has been
damaged or dropped.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE

TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

(a)

Do not attempt to operate this oven with the
door open. Doing so 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 the oven door

This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows the basics that you need to know in
order to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information before using your oven.

HOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN WORKS

Microwave ovens are safe. Microwave energy is not hot. it
causes food to make its own heat, and it is this heat that cooks

the food.
Microwaves are like TV waves, radio waves, or light waves. You

cannot see them, but you can see the results of 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. The microwaves then 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.

RADIO INTERFERENCE

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:

*Cleanlng the door and sealing surfaces of the oven.
*Adjusting the receiving antenna of the radio or television.
*Moving the receiver away from the microwave oven.
*Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that the microwave oven and receiver are on different

branch circuits.

FOR THE BEST COOKING RESULTS

*Always cook food for the shortest cooking time recommended. Check to see how the food is cooking. If

needed, touch Add 30 Sec while the oven is operating, or after the cooking cycle is over (see the "Add

30 Sec" section).

*Stir, turn over, or rearrange the food being cooked about halfway through the cooking time for all

recipes. This will help ensure that the food is evenly cooked.

*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 to vent steam during cooking.

COOKWARE GUIDE

Most heat resistant, nanmetalllc caakware is safe far use in your microwave oven. However, to test
caakware before using, fallow these steps:

1. Place empty cookware in the microwave oven.

2. Measure 1 cup (250ml) of water in a glass measuring cup and place it in the oven beside
the cookware.

3. Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. If the dish is warm, it should not be used for

microwave cooking.

NOTE:

Some dishes (melamine, some ceramic dinnerware, etc.) absorb microwave energy, becoming too hot to
handle and slowing cooking time. 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 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

*Never lean or allow a child to swing on the door when it is open.
*Use hat pads. Microwave energy does not heat containers, but the heat from the food can make the

container hot.

*Do nat 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. This may shorten the life-span of the oven. To practice

programming, put a container of water in the oven before starting, 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. Paramn 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 securety 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 from the oven to avoid breaking it.

*When using a browning dish, the browning dish bottom must be at least 3/16 inch above the turntable.

Follow the directions supplied with the browning dish.

*Never cook or reheat a whale 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.

*Far best results, stir any llquld several times during heating or reheating. Liquids heated in certain

containers (especially containers shaped like cylinders) may overheat. The liquid may splash during or
after heating or when adding ingredients (coffee granules, tea bags, etc.). This can harm you or damage

the microwave oven.

*Microwaves may not reach the center of a roast. The heat spreads from the outer to the center 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 nat deep fry in the oven. Microwavable utensils are not suitable and it is dimcutt to maintain

appropriate deep-frying temperatures.

*Do not overtook potatoes. At the end of the recommended cooking time, potatoes should be slightty firm

because they will continue cooking during standing time. After mlcrawavlng, let potatoes stand for 5
minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

if your eiectrlc power llne or outlet voltage is less than 110 volts, cooking times may be longer. Have a

qualified electrician check your electrical system.

GOURMET OPTIONS

Amount of Food

• If you increase or decrease the amount of food
you prepare, the time it takes to cook that food
will also change. For example, if you double a
recipe, add a little more than half the original
cooking time. Check for readiness and, if

necessary, add more time in small increments.

Starting Temperature of Food
*The lower the temperature of the food being

put into the microwave oven, the longer it takes
to cook. Food at room temperature will reheat
quicker than food at refrigerator temperature.

Composition of Food

*Food with a lot of fat and sugar will heat faster

than food containing a lot of water. Fat and sugar
will also reach a higher temperature than water in
the cooking process.

*The more dense the food, the longer it takes to

heat. "Very dense" food, like meat, takes longer to
heat than lighter, more porous food, like sponge

cakes.

Size and Shape

•Smaller pieces of food will cook faster than larger
pieces. Also, same shaped pieces cook more
evenly than differently shaped pieces.

• With foods that have different thicknesses, the
thinner parts will cook faster than the thicker

parts. Place the thinner parts of chicken wings and
legs in the center of the dish.

Stirring and Turning Foods

*Stirring and turning foods spreads heat quickly to

the center of the dish and avoids overcooking at
the outer edges of the food.

Covering Food

Cover food to reduce splattering, shorten cooking

times, and keep food moist.
You can use any covering that tets microwaves pass

through. See "Getting to Know Your Microwave
Oven" for materials that microwaves will

pass through.

Releasing Pressure in Foods

*Several foods (for example: baked potatoes,

sausages, egg yolks, and some fruits) are tightly
covered by a skin or membrane. Steam can build
up under the membrane during cooking, causing
the food to burst. To relieve the pressure and
to prevent bursting, pierce these foods before
cooking with a fork, cocktail pick, or toothpick.

Using Standing Time

•Always allow food to stand, either in or out of
the oven, after cooking power stops. Standing
time after defrosting and cooking allows the
temperature to evenly spread throughout the
food, improving the cooking results. For inside
oven standing time, you can program " 0 " power
second stage of the cooking cycle. See Two-Stage
Cooking.

• The length of the standing time depends on how
much food you are cooking and how dense it is.
Sometimes it can be as short as the time it takes

to remove the food from the oven and take it to
the serving table. However, with a larger, denser

food item, the standing time may be as long as 10
minutes.

Arranging Food

For best results, place food evenly on the plate. You

can do this in severat ways:
*If you are cooking several items of the same

food, such as baked potatoes, place them in a
ring pattern for uniform cooking.

• When cooking foods of uneven shapes or
thickness, such as chicken breasts, place the
smaller or thinner area of the food towards the

center of the dish where it will be heated last.

•Layer thin sllcesof meat on top of each other.

•When you cook or reheat whole fish,score the

skin - this prevents cracking.

• Do not let food or a container touch the top or
sides of the oven. This will prevent possible arcing.
Arcing is a spark that can cause damage to the

oven interion

11

Using Aluminum Foil

NOTE: Metal containers should not be used in a microwave oven. There are, however, some exceptions. If you

have purchased food prepackaged in an aluminum foil container, refer to the instructions on the package.
When using aluminum foil containers, cooking times may be longer because microwaves will only penetrate
the top of the food. When using aluminum containers without package instructions, follow these guidelines:

*Place the container in a glass bowl and add some water so that it covers the bottom of the container;

no more than !/4 in. (.64 cm) high. This ensures even heating of the container bottom.
*Always remove the lid to avoid damage to the oven.
*Use only undamaged containers.
* Do not use containers taller than 3/4 in. (1.9 cm).

*Container must be at least half fined.
*To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum !/4 in. (.64 cm) between the aluminum container and the

wails of the oven and also between two aluminum containers.
*Always place the container on the turntable.

*Shield, with small pieces of aluminum foil, parts of food that may cook quickly; such as wing tips and

leg ends of poultry.
*Heating food in aluminum foil containers usually takes up to double the time compared to reheating

in plastic, glass, china, or paper containers. The time when food is ready will vary depending upon the

type of container used.
*Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after heating so that heat is spread evenly throughout container.

Cooking you should not do in your microwave oven
*Do not put canned foods in the oven. Closed glass jars may explode, resulting in damage to the oven.

*Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at

the high temperature needed for sterilization.

SENSOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Sensor took cooking allows you to cook most of
your favorite foods without selecting cooking
times and power levels. 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 heat.
The display will show the remaining heating
time. For best results by Sensor, following these

recommendations:
*Food cooked with the sensor system should be

at normal storage temperature.

*The glass tray and outside of the container

should be dry to assure best cooking results.

*Foods should always be covered loosely with

microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper
or a lid.

*Do not open the door or touch the STOP key

during the sensing time. When sensing time is
over, the oven beeps twice 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.

Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your

favorite foods without selecting cooking times and

power levels. This oven automatically determines

required cooking times for each food item.

Example: To cook a potato.

SENSOR COOKING GUIDE
Appropriate containers and coverings help assure

good Sensor Cooking results.
*Always use microwavable 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.

*Match the amount to the size of the containen

Fitl containers at least half way for best results.

*Be sure that 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.

CUSTOM DEFROST

Three defrost sequences are preset in the oven.
The custom defrost feature provides you with

the best defrosting method for frozen foods.

The cooking guide will show you which defrost
sequence is recommended for the food you are
defrosting.

For added convenience, the custom defrost includes
a built-in beep mechanism that reminds you to
check, turn over, separate, or rearrange the food in
order to get the best defrost results. Three different
defrosting levels are provided:

1. MEAT

2. POULTRY

3. FISH

Available weight is 0.1 - 6.0 lbs.

Example: To defrost 1.12Ibs of ground beef.

Touch: Display Shows:

1. Ce_:_r Time of day

NOTE: When you touch the START pad, the disptay
changes to a defrost time count down. The oven will
beep during the DEFROST cycle. At this time, open
the door and turn, separate, or rearrange the food.
Remove any portions that have thawed. Return
frozen portions to the oven and touch START to
resume the defrost cycle.

OPERATING TiPS

*For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat, and

poultry from its original closed paper or plastic
package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will hold
steam and juice close to the foods, which can

cause the outer surface of the foods to cook.

*For best results, roll your ground meat into a ball

before freezing. During the DEFROST cycle, the
microwave will signal when it is time to turn the
meat over. Scrape off any excess frost from the
meat and continue defrosting.

*Place foods in a shallow container or on a

microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.

This table shows food type selections and the

weights you can set for each type. For best results,

loosen or remove covering on food.

DEFROSTING TIPS TWO-STAGE COOKING

*When using Auto Defrost, the weight to be

entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths
of pounds (the weight of the food minus the
container).

*Before starting, make sure to remove any and

all metal twist-ties that often come with frozen
food bags, and replace them with strings or

elastic bands.

*Open containers, such as cartons, before

placing in the oven.

*Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or

packaging.

*If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place it

in a suitable container.

*Slit the skin of skinned food, such as sausage.
*Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even

defrosting.

*Always underestimate defrosting time. If

defrosted food is still icy in the center, return it

to the microwave oven for more defrosting.

*The length of defrosting time varies according

to how soNdly the food is frozen.

*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 easily.

*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. The foil can damage the oven lining.

*For better results, let food stand after defrosting.

(For more information on standing time, see the
"'Microwave Cooking Tips" section).

*Turn over food during defrosting or standing time.

Break apart and remove food as required.

For best results, some recipes call for different
power levels during a cook cycle. You can
program your oven for two power level stages

during the cooking cycle.

You can use aluminum foil for shielding (use
small, fiat pieces), small skewers, and shallow
foil trays (if tray is no taller than 3/4 in. [1.9 cm]

energy). Never allow metal to touch walls

or door.

is it normal for the turntable to turn in

either direction?

Yes. The turntable reverses rotation each time the

microwave oven door is opened and closed.

This helps cook food evenly.

Sometimes the door of my microwave oven
appears wavy. Is this normal?

What are the humming noises that I hear when

my microwave oven is operating?

Why does the dish become hot when I

microwave food in it? I thought that this should
not happen.

This appearance is normal and does not affect
the operation of your oven.

You may hear the sound of the transformer when
the magnetron tube cycles on.

As the food becomes hot it will conduct the

heat to the dish. Be prepared to use hot pads to
remove food after cooking.

What does "standing time" mean? "Standing time" means that after the timed

cooking period ends, food should be allowed
to stand either inside or outside of the oven to

completely finish cooking. Outside oven standing
time will allow the oven to be available for

other use. For inside oven standing time, you
can program a "0" power second stage of the
cooking cycle. See Two-Stage Cooking.

Why does steam come out of the air
exhaust vent?

Can i pop popcorn in my microwave oven?

How do I get the best results?

Steam is normally produced during cooking. The

microwave oven has been designed to vent

this steam.

Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn while

following the manufacturer's guidelines. Do not

use regular paper bags.
Do not re-pop unpopped kernels. Do not pop

popcorn in glass cookware.
