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.
(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 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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.
Gettin 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 Magnetron
causes food to make its own heat, and it's thisheat that cooks
the food.
Microwaves are likeTV 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 intothe oven wherethey 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, backthrough ovencavity
the glass turntable, and are absorbed bythe food. Metalfloor Glassturntable
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 microwaveoven may cause interference to _ourradio,TV, or similar equipment. Whenthere is
interference, you can reduce it or remove it by:
• Cleaning the door andsealing surfaces of the oven.
• Adjusting the receivingantenna 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. Checkto see how the food is cooking. If
needed, touch Add Minutewhile 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 halfwaythrough the cooking timefor all recipes.
This will help makesure 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. Rememberto 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 containerin the oven. Close the door. Makesure it
latches. Cook at 100%powerfor 1 minute. When the time is up, the water should be heated.
Testing your dinnerware or cookware
Test dinnerware or coolevare before using. To testa dish forsafe use, put itinto the oven with a cupof
water beside it. Cook at 100%cook power forone minute. If the dish gets hot, do not use it.
Some dishes (melamine, some ceramic dinnerware, etc.) absorb microwaveenergy, becoming too hotto
handle and slowing cooking times. Cooking inmetalcontainers notdesigned for microwave use could damage
the oven, ascould containers with hidden metal (twist-ties,foillining, staples, metallic glaze or trim).
Operating safety precautions
• Never lean on the door or allow a childto swing on itwhen thedoor isopen.
• Use hot pads. Microwave energydoes not heat containers, but the heatfrom thefood can makethe
container hot.
• Do not use newspaper or other printedpaper inthe oven.
• Do not dry flowers, fruit,herbs,wood, paper,gourds,or clothes in theoven.
• Do not starta microwave oven when it is empty. Product life may be shortened. Ifyou practiceprogramming
the oven, put a container of water in the oven. Itis normal for the oven door to lookwavy after the oven has
been runningfor a while.
• Do not try to melt paraffin wax intheoven. Paraffin wax will not melt in a microwaveoven because itallows
microwaves to pass through it.
• Do not operatethe microwaveoven unless the glass turntable is securely in place and can rotate freely.The
turntable can rotate ineither direction. Make sure theturntable is correct-side up in the oven. Handle your
turntable with care when removingit from the oven to avoid possibly breaking it. If your turntablecracks or
breaks, contact your dealer for a replacement.
• When you use abrowning dish, the browning dish bottom mustbe at least 3/16 inchabove the turntable.
Followthe directionssupplied 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 possiblydamage the oven. Slice hard-boiledeggs before heating. In rare cases, poachedeggs have
been known to explode. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time ofone minute beforecutting into
them.
• For best results, stir any liquid several times during heating or reheating. Liquids heated in certain
containers (especially containersshaped like cylinders) may become overheated.The liquidmay splash out
with a loud noise during or after heating or when adding ingredients (coffeegranules, tea bags, etc.). Thiscan
harm the oven.
• Microwaves may not reach thecenter ofa roast. The heatspreads to the center from theouter,cooked
areasjust as in regular oven cooking. This is one of the reasons for letting some foods (for example, roastsor
baked potatoes) stand fora while aftercooking, or forstirring some foods during the cooking time.
• Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable utensils are not suitable and itis difficultto maintain appropriate
deep-frying temperatures.
• Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended cooking time, potatoesshould be slightlyfirm
because they will continuecooking during standing time.After microwaving, let potatoes stand for 5
minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.
