To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
- Do not overcook food, Carefully attend the microwave oven if paper, plastic, or other
combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking,
- Remove wire twist:ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bags in oven,
- if materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven
door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the
power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit
- Do not use the cavity for storage purposes, Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in
the cavity when not in use,
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
iMPORTANT SAFETY mNSTRUCTIONS
m Suitabb for use above both gas and ebctric cooking
m Intended to be used above ranges with maximum
width of 36 inches.
m Cban Ventibfing Hoods Frequently - Grease shouM
not be allowed to accumuiate on hood or fiiter.
m Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not
be inserted in the microwave oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
Do not clean with metal scouring pad& Pieces can burn off the pad and touch electrical parts involving a
risk of electric shock.
Do not use paper products when appliance is operat- ed in the "PAN BROWN" mode (on models with this feature).
m Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer's
recommended accessories, in this oven when not in
use,
Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave
oven when the microwave oven is in operation.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
m When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on. m Use care when cleaning the vent-hood filter.
Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the filter
Do not cover or block any openings on the micro- wave oven.
Do not store this microwave oven outdoors. Do not
use the microwave oven near water - for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a
swimming pool, and the like.
m Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
m Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
Do not mount over a sink.
Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with
metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.
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.
ElectricalShockHazard
Plugintoa grounded3 prong outJet.
Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can resuJt in
death, fire, or eJectrical shock.
Observe allgoverning codes and ordinances. A 120Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused electrical supply is required. (A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker isrecommended.) It is
recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance
be provided.
GROUNDING mNSTRUCTmONS
m 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.

WARNmNG: 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.
m For a permanently connected appliance:
This appliance 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 appliance.
SAVE THESE mNSTRUCTmONS
The microwave system delivers a constant stream of microwave power - true high, medium and low power.
Typically, microwave ovens operate on HIGH power only. For example, to achieve a 50% power level ("medium") in a typical microwave oven, the oven operates 50% of the time at HIGH power and 50% of the time OFR

Sensor Cooking
The microwave system features sensor cooking functions. A
humidity sensor in the oven cavity detects moisture and humidity emitted from food as it heats. The sensor adjusts cooking times
to various types and amounts of food. Sensor cooking takes the
guesswork out of microwave cooking.

The rectangular cooking rack is ideal for two-level cooking. It provides extra cavity space for cooking 2 or more containers at the same time. Insert the rack securely into the rack supports on
the side walls of the oven. See "Assistance or Service" to order replacement parts.
LT////////llll ((li/t\\\\\\\_1_
• Rack will become hot. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling.
• Do not allow the rack to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling or floor.
• Do not use metal cookware, utensils, or a browning dish with the rack.
• Do not let food container on rack touch the top or sides of the oven.
• Do not use Browning Pan on rack.
• Remove rack before using Grill function.
• Remove rack before using Popcorn function.
• The rack is designed specifically for this oven. Do not use it in any other oven.
• Do not cook food directly on the rack. Always use a microwave-safe container.
• Use the rack only when cooking on 2 levels. Do not store it in the oven. Damage to the oven could result if someone accidentally turns on the oven.

The turntable can rotate in either direction to help cook food
more evenly. Do not operate the oven without the turntable in place. See "Assistance or Service" to reorder any of the parts.
To Install"
1. Remove tape from the hub.
2. Place the support on the oven cavity bottom.
3. Place the turntable on the support. Fit the raised, curved lines in the center of the turntable
bottom between the three spokes of the hub. The rollers on the support should fit inside the turntable bottom ridge.
To Turn Off:
The turntable can be turned off (except during an auto function). This is helpful when cooking with plates that are larger than the
turntable or when cooking with two 101Ain. (26 cm) plates that
are side-by-side.
1. Press TURNTABLE ON/OFF button. "TURNTABLE OFF" will appear in the display. The turntable
will turn back on automatically when cooking is over or when OFF/CANCEL is pressed.
The Browning Pan, with a non-stick surface and detachable handle, has been specially designed for microwave use, and is
ideal for pan-frying (pan-browning) foods in the microwave oven. The Browning Pan is also used as a drip pan for grilling.
Use the handle to grasp the pan. Place gripping end on the edge of pan, squeeze handle and lift pan.

During programming, the display screen displays function menus, servings and weights, preparation instructions, and cooking time/power settings. During a cooking cycle, it counts down the remaining time, and gives prompts to stir or turn food.
Touch Screen
The LCD touch screen is used to input commands. A light- to medium-pressure touch of the fingertip will activate the menu choice. However, sensitivity of the touch screen may vary, and using the tips or backs of fingernails may provide more accuracy when inputting commands.
The following illustrates how the Touch Screen display screens help the navigation through menus. This example shows the display screens and selections when cooking chicken pieces.
