SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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 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.

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 is recommended.)
It is recommended that a separate circuit

serving only this appliance be provided.

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.

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 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.

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 ovens are safe. 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

Magqetron

Oven cavity

Metal floor Glass turntable

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:

• Cleaning 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.

• Plugging 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 Minute while the oven is operating or after the cooking cycle is over (see the "Using

add minute" section).

• Stir, turn over, or rearrange the food being cooked about halfway through the cooking time for all recipes.
This will help make sure 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.

Testing your microwave oven

To test the oven put about 1 cup of cold water in a glass container in the oven. Close the door. Make sure it
latches. Cook at 100% power for 1 minute. When the time is up, the water should be heated.

Testing your dinnerware or cookware

Test dinnerware or cookware before using. To test a dish for safe use, put it into theoven 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).

Operating safety precautions

• 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, tf 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 inch above the turntable.

Follow the directions supplied with the browning dish.

• 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, tn 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 likecylinders) 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
harm 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 lettingsome foods (for example, roasts or
baked potatoes) stand for a while after cooking, orfor 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

I f 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.

MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS

For best results, some recipes call for different cook
powers. The lower the cook power, the slower the
cooking. Each number from 1 to 9 stands for a

different percentage of full cook power.
The following chart gives the percentage of cook

power each number pad stands for, and the cook
power name usually used.

It also tells you when to use each cook power. Follow
recipe or food package instructions if available.

NOTE: Refer to a reliable cookbook for cooking times
based on the 1000 Watt cook power of your microwave

oven.

COOK Power NAME

100% of full power High

9 = 90% of full power

8 = 80% of full power

7 = 70% of full power Medium-High

6 = 60% of full power

5 = 50% of full power Medium

4 = 40% of full power

3 = 30% of full power Medium-Low,

Defrost

2 = 20% of full power

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, shape your ground meat into the
form of a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting,
scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and

continue defrosting.

• Place foods in a shallow container or on a microwave
roasting rack to catch drippings.

This table shows you food type selections and the
weights you can set for each type. For best

results, loosen or remove covering on food.

FOOD TOUCH WEIGHTS YOU

Auto Defrost CAN SET

Poultry 2 .1to 6.0 (45g to 2722gi
Fish 3 .1 to 6.0 (45g to 2722gi
Bread 4 .1to 1.0 (45g to 450g)

Weight conversion table

You are probably used to food weights as being in

pounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for

example, 4 ounces equals 1/4 pound). However, in
order to enter food weight in Auto Defrost, you must

specify pounds and tenths of a pound.

If the weight on the food package is in fractions of a
pound, you can use the following table to convert the

weight to decimals.

DEFROSTING TIPS

• 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 you have removed any
of the metal twist-ties which often come with frozen

food bags, and replace them with strings or elastic

bands.

• Open containers such as cartons before they are

placed in the oven.

•Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging.

• If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place it ina
suitable container.

•Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as
sausage.

• Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even
defrosting.

•Always underestimate defrosting time. If defrosted
food is still icy inthe center, return it to the

microwave oven for more defrosting.

• The length of defrosting time varies according to

how solidly 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.

HOLD WARM

You can safely keep hot, cooked food warm in your
microwave oven for up to 99 minutes, 99 seconds
(about 1 hour, 40 minutes). You can use Hold Warm

by itself, or to automatically follow a cooking cycle.
Example: To use the hold warm.

At theend of the hold warm, "END" will be
displayed and four tones will sound.

To make Hold Warm
automatically follow another cycle:

• While you are touching in cooking instructions,
touch Hold Warm before touching START.

• When the last cooking cycle is over, you will hear
two tones. "Hold Warm" will come on while the oven

continues to run.

• You can set Hold Warm to follow Auto Defrost,
Cook, or multi-cycle cooking.

NOTES:

• Hold Warm operates for up to 99 minutes, 99
seconds.

• Opening the oven door cancels Hold Warm. Close
the door and touch Hold Warm, then touch

START if additional Hold Warm time is desired.

• Food cooked covered should be covered during

Hold Warm.

• Pastry items (pies, turnovers, etc.) should be
uncovered during Hold Warm.

• Complete meals kept warm on a dinner plate should
be covered during Hold Warm.

• Do not use more than one complete Hold Warm
cycle (about 1 hour, 40 minutes). The quality of

some foods will suffer with extended time.

Using Sensor Cooking

SENSOR COOKING

SENSOR OPERATINGINSTRUCTIONS

Sensor Cook 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.

• Glass Tray and outside of 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/Clear"
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 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 container.
Fill containers at least half full for best results.

• 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.

POTATO (EXAMPLE)

Sensor cook allows you to cook most of your

favorite foods without selecting cooking times and

power levels.

Caring for Your Microwave Oven

To make sure your microwave oven looks good and works well for a long time, you should
maintain it properly. For proper care, please follow these instructions carefully.

For interior surfaces: Wash often with warm, sudsy

water and a sponge or
soft cloth.

Use only mild,
nonabrasive soaps or a
mild detergent. Be sure

to keep the areas clean
where the door and

oven frame touch
when closed. Wipe well

with clean cloth.
Over time, stains can occur on the surfaces as the
result of food particles spattering during cooking. This

is normal.
For stubborn soil, boil a cup of water in the oven for 2

to 3 minutes. Steam will

soften the soil. To get rid

of odors inside the oven,

boil a cup of water with

some lemon juice or

vinegar in it.

To clean turntable and turntable support, wash in

mild, sudsy water; for

Glass turntable heavily soiled areas use

a mild cleanser and
scouring sponge. The

turntable and turntable
support are dishwasher

safe.

support

For exterior surfaces and control panel: Use a soft

cloth with spray glass

_ ]_ cleaner. Apply the spray

glass cleaner to the soft

cloth; do not spray

directly on the oven.

NOTE: Abrasive

cleansers, steel wool

pads, gritty wash

cloths, some paper

towels, etc., can dam-

interior and exterior

age the control panel and the
oven surfaces.

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS

Amount of food

• Ifyou 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 doneness and, if necessary, add more

time in small increments.

Startingtemperature 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 be re-heated more

quickly than food at refrigerator temperature.

Composition of food

• Food with a lot of fat and sugar will be heated

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 ittakes 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 different-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, 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

• Keep food moist

You can use any covering that lets microwaves pass
through. See "Getting to Know Your Microwave

Oven" for materials that microwaves will pass

through. If you are using the Sensor function, be sure
to vent.

Releasing pressurein 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.

Usingstanding time

•Always allow food to stand after cooking.
Standing time after defrosting and cooking allows
the temperature to evenly spread throughout the

food, improving the cooking results.

•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
you to remove the food from the oven and take it to

the serving table. However, with larger, denser food,
the standing time may be as long as 10 minutes.

Arrangingfood

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

can do this in several 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 slices of 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.

Usingaluminum foil

Metal containers should not be used in a microwave

oven. There are, however, some exceptions. If you

have purchased food which is 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. If you use
aluminum containers without package instructions,

follow these guidelines:

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS (CONT.)

Using aluminum foil (cont.)

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

not more than 1/4 in. (.64 cm) high. This ensures
even heating of the container bottom.

• Always remove the lid to avoid damage to the

oven.
