MICROWAVE OVEN SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety
messages.
This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."
These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately
follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
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 in this section.
The microwave oven must be grounded. Connect only to
properly grounded outlet. See "GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS" found in the "INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS" section.
Install or locate the microwave oven only in accordance
with the provided Installation Instructions.
Some products such as whole eggs in the shell and
sealed containers - for example, closed glass jars - are able to explode and should not be heated in the
microwave oven.
Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as
described in the 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.
The microwave oven should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Call an authorized service company for
examination, repair, or adjustment.

sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or similar
locations.
Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
See door surface cleaning instructions in the "Microwave Oven Care" section.
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
- Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the microwave
oven when 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 ignite, keep oven door closed,
turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off
power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
- 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 iNSTRUCTiONS
[] Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be
overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. 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 THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS
INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
- Do not overheat the liquid.
- Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
- Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
- After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.
- Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.
[] Do not mount over a sink.
[] Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave oven
when the microwave oven is in operation.
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.
I This device complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules. I
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Empty the microwave oven of any packing materials.
2. Clean the inside with a soft, damp cloth.
3. Check for damage, such as:
a door that is not lined up correctly
damage around the door, or
dents on the interior or exterior of the microwave oven. If there is any damage, do not operate the microwave oven
until a designated service technician has checked it and made any needed repairs.
NOTE: To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not remove microwave inlet cover. See "Parts and Features."
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.
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install microwave oven.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
IMPORTANT: The control side of the microwave oven is the heavy side. Handle the microwave oven gently. The weight of the
microwave oven is over 35 Ibs (15.9 kg).
Place the microwave oven on a cart, counter, table or shelf that is strong enough to hold the microwave oven and the
food and utensils you place inside it.
The microwave oven should be at a temperature above 50°F (10°C) for proper operation.
NOTE: Some models can be built into a wall or cabinet by using one of the trim kits listed in the "Assistance or Service" section.
Do not block the exhaust vents or air intake openings. Allow a few inches of space at the back and side of the microwave oven where the exhaust vents are located. Blocking the exhaust vents could cause damage to the microwave oven, as well as poor cooking results.
Make sure the microwave oven legs are in place to ensure proper airflow. If vents are blocked, a sensitive thermal device may automatically turn the microwave oven off. The microwave oven should work properly once it has cooled.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Required:
A 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp electrical supply with a fuse or circuit breaker.
Recommended:
A time-delay fuse or time-delay circuit breaker.
A separate circuit serving only this microwave oven.
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.

MICROWAVE OVEN USE
A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves which reflect off the metal floor, walls and ceiling and pass through the turntable and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are attracted to and absorbed by fat, sugar and water molecules in the food, causing them to move, producing friction and heat
which cooks the food.
To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not lean on or allow children to swing on the microwave oven door.
To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not operate microwave oven when it is empty.
Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in microwave oven.
Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including brown paper bags and newspaper, should not be dried in
microwave oven.
Paraffin wax will not melt in the microwave oven because it does not absorb microwaves.
Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from microwave oven.
Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended cook time, potatoes should be slightly firm. Let potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.
Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst, requiring significant cleanup of microwave oven cavity. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time.
"' ..... :7 J;y"' . ...... ..,> .

When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting temperature, composition and density of the food affect cooking
results.
Amount of Food
The more food heated at once, the longer the cook time needed. Check for doneness and add small increments of time if
necessary.
The default weight entry mode for Weight Defrost is imperial
,f
(pounds), but may be set to metric (grams). This setting does not affect any other program besides Weight Defrost. See "Defrost"
section. To Set Weight Entry to Metric: Within 5 minutes of power-up,
touch and hold number pad "0" for about 5 seconds, until a tone sounds. To set back to imperial, disconnect power, then reconnect power to microwave oven.
Covering
Covering food helps retain moisture, shorten cook time and reduce spattering. Use the lid supplied with cookware. If a lid is not available, wax paper, paper towels or plastic wrap approved for microwave ovens may be used. Plastic wrap should be turned back at one corner to provide an opening to vent steam. Condensation on the door and cavity surfaces is normal during heavy cooking.
Stirring and Turning Stirring and turning redistribute heat evenly to avoid overcooking
the outer edges of food. Stir from outside to center. If possible, turn food over from bottom to top.
Arranging
If heating irregularly shaped or different sized foods, arrange the thinner parts and smaller sized items toward the center. If cooking several items of the same size and shape, place them in a ring pattern, leaving the center of the ring empty.
Piercing
Before heating, use a fork or small knife to pierce or prick foods that have a skin or membrane, such as potatoes, egg yolks, chicken livers, hot dogs, and sausage. Prick in several places to
allow steam to vent.
Shielding
Use small, flat pieces of aluminum foil to shield the thin pieces of irregularly shaped foods, bones and foods such as chicken
wings, leg tips and fish tail. See "Aluminum Foil and Metal" first.
Standing Time
Food will continue to cook by the natural conduction of heat even after the microwave cooking cycle ends. The length of standing
time depends on the volume and density of the food.
Size and Shape Smaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger pieces,
and uniformly shaped foods cook more evenly than irregularly shaped food.
Starting Temperature
Room temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated foods, and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods.
Composition and Density Foods high in fat and sugar will reach a higher temperature, and
will heat faster than other foods. Heavy, dense foods, such as meat and potatoes, require a longer cook time than the same size of a light, porous food, such as cake.
8
Do Not Use
Cookware and dinnerware must fit on the turntable. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling because any dish may
become hot from heat transferred from the food. Do not use cookware and dinnerware with gold or silver trim. Use the
following chart as a guide, then test before using.
MATERIAL RECOMMENDATIONS
