SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
•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.
•Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door, or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
•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:
-door (bent),
-hinges and latches (broken or loosened),
-door seals and sealing surfaces.
•The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance 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. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
PROPERLY POLARIZED AND
GROUNDED OUTLET
Three-Pronged
(Grounding) Plug.
WARNING
Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded, and either:
1. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance.
The marked rating of the extension cord shall
be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance, or. . . .
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.

TIPS FOR MICROWAVE COOKING
BROWNING
Meat and poultry with high fat content that are cooked for 10 or 15 minutes or longer 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 traps heat and steam and causes 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. 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
Because foods cook quickly in a microwave oven, you need to test frequently for doneness.
STANDING TIME
Food often needs to stand from 2 to 15 minutes after you remove it 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.

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. Don’t touch several pads at once.
•Do not strike the control panel with silverware, utensils, etc. Breakage may occur.
•Always use caution when taking the cooking utensils out of the oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the cooked food and may be hot. See Cookware Guide earlier in this section for more information.
•Do not rinse cooking utensils by placing them in water 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 STOP/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.

AUTO DEFROST
The AUTO DEFROST feature is an accurate defrosting method for frozen ground meat poultry fish up to 6.0 lbs or 4.0 kg.
The oven automatically determines required defrosting times for each food item according to the weight you enter.

For added convenience, the AUTO DEFROST Feature contains a built-in beep mechanism that lets you check, turn over, separate or rearrange as
recommended in the express defrost chart in the last .
Three different defrosting levels are provided:
1MEAT
2POULTRY
3FISH
EXAMPLE: To defrost 1.2 lbs of ground beef.
