Do not store anything directly on top of the
microwave oven when the microwave oven is in
operation.
Do not cover or block any openings on the
microwave oven.
Do not store this microwave oven outdoors. Do not
use the microwave oven near water for example,

Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with
metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.
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.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE
EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY
(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven withthe
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.
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.
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.
(c) Do not operate the oven if it isdamaged. 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 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.
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
Ensure proper ground
exists before use
conductors and connected to the
equipment grounding terminal or lead on
the microwave oven.

Amount of food
•If you increase or decrease theamount of food
you prepare, the time ittakes to cook that food will
also change. Forexample, if you double a recipe,
add a little more than halfthe original cooking time.
Check for doneness and, if necessary,add more
time in small increments,
Starling temperature of food
•The lower the temperature ofthe food being put
into the microwave oven, the longer it takes tocook,
Foodat 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 beheated
faster thanfood containing a lotof water, Fat and
sugarwill 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 likemeat takes longer to
heat than lighter, more porous food like sponge
cakes,
Size and shape
•Smaller pieces of food will cook fasterthan larger
pieces, Also, same shaped pieces cook more
evenly than different-shaped pieces,
•With foods that have different thicknesses, the
thinner parts willcook fasterthan the thicker parts,
Place the thinner partsof chicken wings and legs in
the center of the dish,
Stirring, turning foods
•Stirring and turning foods spreadsheat quicklyto
the center of the dish and avoids overcooking at the
outer edges of thefood,
Covering food
Cover food to:
•Reduce splattering
•Shorten cookingtimes
• Keep food moist
You can useany covering that lets microwaves pass
through. See "Getting to KnowYour Microwave
Oven" for materialsthat microwaves will pass
through. Ifyou are using the Sensor function, be sure
tovent,
Releasingpressure infoods
• Several foods (for example: baked potatoes,
sausages, egg yolks, and some fruits)are tightly
covered bya skinor membrane. Steam can buildup
under the membrane duringcooking, causingthe
food to burst, To relieve the pressureand to prevent
bursting, pierce thesefoods beforecooking with a
fork, cocktail pick,or toothpick.
Using standing time
• Always allow food to stand after cooking inside as
well asoutside theoven. Standing time after
defrostingand 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 howdense it is,
Sometimes itcan be as short as the time it takes
you to remove the food from the oven and take itto
the serving table, However,with larger,denser food,
the standing time may be as long as 10minutes.
Arranging food
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 dishwhere itwill be heated last,
• Layer thin slices of meat ontop of each other,
• When you cook or reheat whole fish, score the
skin - thispreventscracking,
• Do not let food or a container touch the top or sides
of theoven, This will prevent possible arcing,
Using aluminum foil
Metal containers should notbe usedin a microwave
oven. There are, however, some exceptions. Ifyou
have purchased foodwhich is prepackaged in an
aluminum foilcontainer, refer to the instructions on
the package. When usingaluminum foilcontainers,
cooking times may be longer because microwaves
will only penetrate the top ofthe food. Ifyou use
aluminum containerswithout 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 itcovers the bottom of thecontainer,
not morethan 1/4in,(.64 cm) high. This ensures
even heating of the container bottom.
• Always remove the lid to avoid damage to the
oven.
• Use only undamagedcontainers,
• Do not use containers tallerthan 3/4 in, (1,9cm),
• Container must be at least half filled,
•To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum 1/4in.
(.64cm) between the aluminum container and the
walls of the oven and also between two aluminum
containers,
• Always place the container on the turntable,
• Shield parts of food that may cookquickly, such as
wing tips and leg ends of poultry with small pieces of
aluminum foil,
• 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 isready willvary depending
upon the type of containeryou use,
• Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after heating so
that heat isspread evenly throughout container,
Removing the rack
•When poppingcommercially packagedpopcorn,
Remove the rack from the oven; Do not place the
bag of microwave popcorn on the rack or under the
rack.
CAUTION : Poppingmicrowave popcornwith rack
can cause fire or damage to your microwave oven,
Cooking you should not do in your
microwaveoven
• Do not do canningof foods inthe oven. Closed
glass jars may explode, resulting in damage to the
oven,
• Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize objects
(baby bottles,etc,). Itis difficult to keep the oven at
the high temperatureneeded forsterilization,
• Do not deep fry foods,

AUTO DEFROST
Four defrost sequences are preset in the oven.
The auto 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 Auto Defrost
includes a built-in beep mechanism that reminds
you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange to get
best defrost results. Four different defrosting levels
are provided.

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

DEFROSTING TIPS
• When using Auto Defrost,theweight to be
entered isthe net weight in pounds and tenths of
pounds (theweight of the food minusthe
container).
• Before starting, make sure you have removed
any of the metal twist-tieswhich often come with
frozen food bags, and replacethem with strings or
elastic bands.
• Open containers such ascartons before they
are placed in the oven,
• Always slit or pierce plasticpouches or
packaging,
• If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place it in
a suitable container.
• Slit the skins, ifany, offrozen food such as
sausage.
• Bend plastic pouches of food toensure even
defrosting,
• Always underestimate defrosting time, If
defrosted food is still icy in the center, return itto
the microwave oven for more defrosting,
• The length of defrosting time varies according to
how solidly the food isfrozen,
• The shape of the package affects how quickly
foodwill defrost, Shallow packages willdefrost
more quickly than a deep block,
• As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces,
Separated pieces defrost more easily,
• 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 thefoods,
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 soundsand continue defrosting.
• Place foods in a shallow container or on a
microwave roasting rackto catch drippings.
• 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. Breakapart and remove food as required,
HOLD WARM
You can safely keep hot, cooked foodwarm in your
microwave oven for up to 90 minutes (1 hour,
30 minutes), You can use Hold Warm by itself,or
to automaticallyfollow a cooking cycle,
Example:To use the hold warm.
Touch: Display Shows:
1. ,'_,.,L,, u.l_!_l\l l
Atthe end of the holdwarm, "COOK END"will be
displayed and four tones will sound,
To make Hold Warm
automatically follow another cycle:
• While you are touching incooking instructions,
touch Hold Warm before touching START/Enter,
• When the last cooking cycle is over, you will hear
two tones, "Hold Warm"will comeon while the oven
continues torun.
• You can set Hold Warm to follow Auto Defrost, Cook,
or multi-cycle cooking.
NOTES:
• Hold Warm operates for up to 90 minutes
• Opening the oven door cancels Hold Warm. Close
the door and touch Hold Warm, then touch
START/Enter ifadditional Hold Warm time is desired.
• Food cooked covered should be covered during
HoldWarm,
• Pastry items (pies, turnovers,etc,) should be
uncovered during Hold Warm.
• Complete meals keptwarm on a dinner plate should
be covered during HoldWarm.
• Do not use more than one complete HoldWarm
cycle (about 1 hour,30 minutes). The quality of some
foods will sufferwith extended time,

Using Sensor Cooking
SENSOR COOKING
SENSOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Sensor Cook allows you tocook mostof your
favoritefoods without selecting cooking times and
power levels,The oven automatically determines
required cooking time for each food item. When
the internalsensor detects a certain amount of
humiditycoming from the food, itwill tell the oven
how much longerto heat.The displaywill show
the remaining heating time. For best results by
Sensor, following these recommendations,
• Foodcooked 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 looselywith
microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper or a lid.
• Do notopen the door or touch the"STOP/clear"
key during the sensing time, When sensing time
isover, theoven beeps twice and the remaining
cooking time will appearin the display window,
At this time you canopen the door to stir, turn or
rearrange the food.
SENSOR COOKING GUIDE
Appropriatecontainers and coverings help assure
good Sensor cooking results.
• Always use microwavable containersand cover
them with lidsor vented plasticwrap.
• Never use tight-sealingplasticcovers. They can
prevent steam from escaping and cause food to
overcook,
• Matchthe amount to the size of the container.
Fillcontainersat least halffull for best results.
• Be sure the outside of thecooking container and
the inside of the microwave oven are dry before
placingfood in the oven, Beadsof moisture
turning into steam can mislead the sensor.
