be equal to or greater than the electrical
rating of the appliance
2. 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 appliance.
NOTES:
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to
reduce the risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are
available and may be used if care is exercised
in their use.
3. If a long cord or extension cord is used, (1)
the marked electrical rating of the cord set or
extension cord should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the
extension cord must be a grounding-type
3-wire cord, and (3) the longer cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over accidentally.

COOKING COMPARISON GUIDE
Cooking with your new oven offers a wide variety of
food preparation options: microwave cooking,
convection cooking, and combination cooking.
Microwave cooking uses very short, high-frequency
radio waves. The movement of the microwaves
through the food generates heat and cooks most foods
faster than regular methods while retaining their
natural texture and moisture. Microwave cooking heats
food directly, not the cookware or the interior of the
oven.
Reheating is easy and defrosting is particularly
convenient because less time is spent in food
preparation.
Convection cooking constantly circulates heated air
around the food, creating even browning and sealed in
flavor by the constant motion of hot air over the food
surfaces.
Combination cooking combines microwave energy
with convection to cook with speed and accuracy,
while browning and crisping to perfection.
You can use microwave cooking, convection cooking,
or combination cooking to cook by time. Simply preset
the length of cooking time desired and your oven turns
off automatically.
The following guide shows at a glance the difference
between microwave, convection, and combination
cooking.

TIPS FOR MICROWAVE COOKING
BROWNING
Meat and poultry with high fat content cooked for at
least 10 to 15 minutes will brown lightly. Foods cooked
a shorter time can be brushed with a browning agent,
such as Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, or barbecue
sauce.
COVERING
A cover will trap heat and steam and cause the food to
cook more quickly. Use a lid or microwave-safe plastic
wrap with one corner folded back to vent the excess
steam. Lids on glass casseroles can become hot
during cooking; always handle carefully. Waxed paper
will prevent the food from splattering in the oven and
help retain heat. When warming bread items, use
waxed paper, napkins, or paper towels. To absorb extra
moisture, wrap sandwiches and fatty foods in paper
towels.
SPACING
Arrange individual foods, such as baked potatoes,
cupcakes, and hors d’oeuvres in a circle and at least
1 inch apart. This will help the food cook more evenly.
STIRRING
Stirring blends flavors and redistributes the heat in
foods. Always stir from the outside toward the center
of the dish. Food at the outside of the dish heats first.
TURNING
Large foods, such as roasts and whole poultry, should
be turned so that the top and bottom cook evenly. Also
turn over chicken pieces and chops.
ARRANGEMENT
Do not stack food. Arrange in a single layer in the dish
for more even cooking. Because dense foods cook
more slowly, place thicker portions of meat, poultry,
fish, and vegetables toward the outside of the dish.
TESTING FOR DONENESS
Foods cook quickly in a microwave oven; test frequently
for doneness.
STANDING TIME
Food often needs to stand from 2 to 15 minutes after
being removed from the oven. Usually, you need to
cover food during standing time to retain heat. Remove
most foods when they are slightly undercooked and
they will finish cooking during standing time. The
internal temperature of food will rise about 10°F during
standing time.
SHIELDING
To prevent some portions of rectangular or square
dishes from overcooking, you may need to shield
them with small strips of aluminum foil to block the
microwaves. You can also cover poultry legs and
wing tips with foil to keep them from overcooking.
Always keep foil at least 1 inch from oven walls
to prevent arcing.
PIERCING
Pierce the shell, skin, or membrane of foods before
cooking to prevent them from bursting. Foods that
require piercing include yolks and whites of eggs, hot
dogs, clams, oysters, and whole vegetables, such as
potatoes and squash.
10
UNDERSTANDING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
PRECAUTIONS
• Place the front surface of the door three inches or
more from the countertop edge to avoid accidental
tipping of the microwave oven during normal use.
• To program the oven, make sure you touch the center
of each pad firmly since the areas between the pads
will not activate the oven. A tone will sound each time
a pad is touched correctly. Do not touch several pads
at once.
• Do not strike the control panel with silverware,
cookware, etc. Breakage may occur.
• Always use caution when taking cookware out of the
oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the cooked food
and may be hot. See the “Cookware Guide” earlier in
this section for more information.
• Do not rinse cookware immediately after cooking. This
may cause breakage. Also, always allow the turntable
to cool before removing it from the oven.
• Never operate the oven when it is empty. Food or
water should always be in the oven during operation
to absorb the microwave energy.
• Do not use the oven to dry newspapers or clothes.
They may catch fire.
• Use thermometers that have been approved for
microwave oven cooking.
• The turntable must always be in place when you
operate the oven.
• Do not use your microwave oven to cook eggs in the
shell. Pressure can build up inside the shell, causing it
to burst.
• There are several precautions to follow when
microwaving popcorn:
— Do not pop popcorn, except in a microwave-safe
container or commercial packages designed for
microwave ovens.
— Never try to pop popcorn in a paper bag that is not
microwave-approved.
— Overcooking may result in smoke and fire.
— Do not repop unpopped kernels.
— Do not reuse popcorn bags.
— Listen while corn pops. Stop oven when popping
slows to 2-3 seconds between pops.
— Do not leave microwave unattended while popping
corn.
— Follow directions on bag.
CLEANING
NOTE: Before cleaning the oven, unplug the power
cord. If this is impossible, open the oven door to
prevent an accidental oven start.
INTERIOR
Wipe the oven inside and outside with a soft cloth and
a mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry. This
should be done weekly or more often, if needed. Never
use cleaning powders or rough pads.
Excessive oil splatters on the inside top will be difficult
to remove if left for many days. Wipe splatters with a
wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or
bacon.
REMOVABLE PARTS
The turntable and rotating ring are removable. They
should be hand-washed in warm (not hot) water with a
mild detergent and a soft cloth. Once they are clean,
rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Never use cleaning
powders, steel wool, or rough pads.
• The turntable may be cleaned at the sink. Be careful
not to chip or scratch the edges as this may cause
the turntable to break during use.
• The rotating ring should be cleaned regularly.
DOOR
For best performance and safety, the inner door panel
and the oven front frame should be free of food or
grease buildup. Wipe often with a mild detergent; then
rinse and wipe dry. Never use cleaning powders or
rough pads.
After cleaning the control panel, touch CLEAR to clear
any entries that might have been entered accidentally
while cleaning the panel. Also make sure that the
turntable and rotating ring are in the right position.

CONVECTION COOKING GUIDE
1. Always use the metal rack when convection baking.
Place food directly on rack or place in metal tray
and then place tray on rack.
(See page 9.)
2. Aluminum pans conduct heat quickly. For most
convection baking, light, shiny finishes give best
results because they prevent overbrowning in the
time it takes to cook the center areas. Pans with dull
(satin-finish) bottoms are recommended for cake
pans and pie pans for best bottom browning.
3. Dark or non-shiny finishes, and glass, absorb heat
which may result in dry, crisp crusts.
4. Preheating the oven is recommended when baking

AUTO DEFROST
Three 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
the best defrost results. Three different defrosting levels
are provided.
1 MEAT
2 POULTRY
3 FISH
*Available weight is 0.1~6.0 lbs.
NOTE:
When you touch the START pad, the display changes
to defrost time count down. The oven will beep during
the DEFROST cycle. At this time, open the door and
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.
• Food should still be somewhat icy in the center when
removed from the oven.

HEATING/REHEATING GUIDE
.
To heat or reheat successfully in the microwave, it is important to follow several guidelines. Measure
the amount of food in order to determine the time needed to reheat. Arrange the food in a circular
pattern for best results. Room temperature food will heat faster than refrigerated food. Canned foods
should be taken out of the can and placed in a microwavable container. The food will be heated
more evenly if covered with a microwavable lid or plastic wrap and vented. Remove cover carefully
to prevent steam burns. Use the following chart as a guide for reheating cooked food.
Cover with plastic wrap and vent.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Questions and Answers
Operation
Question
Why is the oven light not on during
cooking?
Why does steam come out of the air
exhaust vent?
Will the microwave oven be damaged if it
operates empty?
Does microwave energy pass through the
viewing screen in the door?
Why does a tone sound when a pad on the
control panel is touched?
Can my microwave oven be damaged if
food is cooked for too long?
When the oven is plugged into wall outlet
for the first time, it might not work properly.
What is wrong?
Answer
There may be several reasons why the oven light is not on.
Have you:
• Set a cook time?
• Touched START?
Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven
has been designed to vent this steam.
Yes. Never operate the oven empty or without the glass turntable.
No. The metal screen bounces the energy back to the oven cavity.
The holes (or ports) allow only light to pass through. They do not
let microwave energy pass through.
The tone tells you that the setting has been entered.
Like any other cooking appliance, it is possible to overcook food
to the point that the food creates smoke and even possibly fire
and damage to the inside of the oven. It is always best to be near
the oven while you are cooking.
The microcomputer controlling your oven may temporarily
become scrambled and fail to function as programmed when you
plug in for the first time or when power resumes after a power
interruption. Unplug the oven from the 120-volt household outlet
and then plug it back in to reset the microcomputer.
Why do I see light reflection around the
outer case?
What are the various sounds I hear when
the microwave oven is operating?
Food
Question
What is wrong when baked foods have a
hard, dry, brown spot?
Why do eggs sometimes pop?
This light is from the oven light which is located between the
oven cavity and the outer wall of the oven.
The clicking sound is caused by a mechanical switch turning the
microwave oven’s magnetron ON and OFF.
The heavy hum and clunk is from the change in power the
magnetron draws as it is turned ON and OFF by a mechanical
switch. The change in blower speed is from the change in line
voltage caused by the magnetron being turned ON and OFF.
Answer
A hard, dry, brown spot indicates overcooking. Shorten the
cooking or reheating time.
When baking, frying, or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to
steam build-up inside the yolk membrane. To prevent this,
simply pierce the yolk before cooking.
CAUTION: Never microwave eggs in the shell.
25
TROUBLESHOOTING
Questions and Answers
Food
Question
Why are scrambled eggs sometimes a
little dry after cooking?
Is it possible to pop popcorn in a
microwave oven?
(continued)
Answer
Eggs will dry out when they are overcooked, even if the same
recipe is used each time. The cooking time may need to be varied
for one of these reasons:
• Eggs vary in size.
• Eggs are at room temperature one time and at refrigerator
temperature another time.
• Eggs continue cooking during standing time.
Yes, if using one of the two methods described below:
(1) microwave-popping devices designed specifically for
microwave cooking
(2) prepackaged commercial microwave popcorn that is made
for specific times and power output needed
Follow exact directions given by each manufacturer for
its popcorn popping product and do not leave the oven
unattended while the corn is being popped. If corn fails
to pop after the suggested time, discontinue cooking.
Overcooking could result in an oven fire.
CAUTION:
• Never use a brown paper bag for popping corn or attempt
to pop leftover kernels.
• Do not pop prepackaged commercial microwave popcorn
directly on the glass turntable. To avoid excessive heating
of the glass turntable, place the popcorn bag on a plate.
• Listen while corn pops. Stop oven when popping slows to
2-3 seconds between pops.
• Do not leave microwave unattended while popping corn.
• Follow directions on bag.
Why do baked apples sometimes burst
during cooking?
Why do baked potatoes sometimes
burn during cooking?
Why is a standing time recommended
after microwave cooking time is over?
Why is additional time required for
cooking food stored in the refrigerator?
The peel has not been removed from the top half of each apple to
allow for expansion of the interior of the apple during cooking. As
in conventional cooking methods, the interior of the apple expands
during the cooking process.
If the cooking time is too long, fire could result. At the end of the
recommended cooking time, potatoes should be slightly firm.
CAUTION: Do not overcook.
Standing time allows foods to continue cooking evenly for a few
minutes after the actual microwave oven cooking cycle. The
amount of standing time depends upon the density of the foods.
As in conventional cooking, the initial temperature of food affects
total cooking time. You need more time to cook food taken out of a
refrigerator than for food at room temperature.
