ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. If an electrical short circuit occurs, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. The cord for this appliance has a grounding wire with a grounding plug. Put the plug into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

wWARNING - If you use the

grouning plug improperly, you risk electric shock.

Ask a qualified electrician if you do not understand the grounding instructions or if you wonder whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Because this appliance fits under the cabinet, it has a short power-supply cord. See the separate Installation Instructions for directions on properly placing the cord. Keep the electrical power cord dry and do not pinch or crush it in any way.

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.

Ensure proper ground exists before use

The oven is designed to operate on a Standard 120V/60Hz household outlet. Be sure the circuit is at least 15A or 20A and the microwave oven is the only appliance on the circuit. It is not designed for 50Hz or any circuit other than a 120V/60Hz circuit.

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.

OPERATION

SENSOR OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your favorite foods without selecting cooking times and power levels. The display will indicate sensor category during the initial sensing period. The oven automatically determines required cooking time for each food item.

When the internal sensor detects a certain amount of humidity coming from the food, it will tell the oven how much longer to heat. The display will show the remaining heating time. For best results for cooking by Sensor, follow these recommendations:

1.Food cooked with the sensor system should be at normal storage temperature.

2.The glass tray and the outside of the container should be dry to assure best cooking results.

3.Foods should always be covered loosely with microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a lid.

4.Do not open the door or touch STOP/CLEAR during the sensing time. When sensing time is over, the oven beeps twice and the remaining cooking time will appear in the display window. At this time you can open the door to stir, turn, or rearrange the food.

SENSOR COOKING GUIDE

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good Sensor cooking results.

1.Always use microwavable containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap.

2.Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.

3.Match the amount to the size of the container. Fill containers at least half full for best results.

4.Be sure the outside of the cooking container and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.

SENSOR POPCORN

SENSOR POPCORN lets you pop 3.0 and 3.5 ounce bags of commercially packaged microwave popcorn. Pop only one package at a time. If you are using a microwave popcorn popper, follow manufacturer’s instructions.

Example: To pop popcorn.

1. Touch POPCORN.

When the cook time is over, four beeps will sound and COOK END will display.

•Recommended amounts: 3.0-3.5 ozs.

•To cook a snack size bag (1.75 oz.) place the bag in the oven. Set the oven to cook for 2 minutes at full power. LISTEN for the popping to slow down. When the popping slows to one pop per second, stop the oven. Make a note of how much time it took and use that setting in the future.

CAUTION

DO NOT leave microwave oven unattended while popping corn.

When popping commercially packaged popcorn, remove the rack from the oven.

Do not place the bag of microwave popcorn on the rack or under the rack.

OPERATION

AUTO DEFROST

Four defrost choices are preset in the oven. The defrost feature provides you with the best defrosting method for frozen foods, because the oven automatically sets the defrosting times for each food item according to the

weight you enter. For added convenience, the AUTO DEFROST includes a built-in tone mechanism that reminds

you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange the food during the defrost cycle. Four different defrosting options are provided.

1.Meat

2.Poultry

3.Fish

4.Bread

After touching ATUO DEFROST once, select the food category. Available weight ranges for Meat, Poultry, and Fish are 0.1 to 6.0 lbs. The available weight range for Bread is 0.1 to 1.0 lb.

Example : To defrost 1.2 lbs of meat.

1. Touch AUTO DEFROST.

2. Choose food category.

3. Enter the weight.

4. Touch START/ENTER.

NOTE: After you touch START/ENTER, the display counts down the defrost time. The oven will beep once during the Defrost cycle. At this time, open the door and turn, separate, or rearrange the food as needed. Remove any portions that have thawed, then return frozen portions to the oven and touch START/ENTER to resume the defrost cycle. The oven will not stop during the BEEP unless the door is opened.

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.

•Form the meat into the shape of a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting, scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and continue defrosting.

•Place foods in a shallow glass baking dish or a on a microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.

•Foods should still be somewhat icy in the center when removed from the oven.AT

OPERATION

DEFROSTING TIPS

•When using Auto Defrost, the weight to be entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds (the weight of the food minus the container).

•Before starting, make sure you have removed any of the metal twist-ties which often come with frozen food bags, and replace them with strings or elastic bands.

•Open containers such as cartons before they are placed in the oven.

•Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging.

•If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place it in a suitable container.

•Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as sausage.

•Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even defrosting.

•Always underestimate defrosting time. If defrosted food is still icy in the center, return it to the microwave oven for more defrosting.

•The length of defrosting time varies according to how solidly the food is frozen.

•The shape of the package affects how quickly food will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than a deep block.

•As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces.

Separated pieces defrost more easily.

•Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails, or areas that start to get warm. Make sure the foil does not touch the sides, top, or bottom of the oven. The foil can damage the oven lining.

•For better results, let food stand after defrosting.

(For more information on standing time, see the “Microwave Cooking Tips” section.)

•Turn over food during defrosting or standing time. Break apart and remove food as required.

METAL RACK

CAUTION

To avoid risk of property damage:

Do not use rack to pop popcorn.

Rack must be on the four plastic supports when used.

Use the rack only when cooking food on rack position.

Do not cook with rack on floor of the oven.

The metal rack gives you extra space when cooking in more than one container at the same time.

To use rack:

1. Place rack securely in the four plastic supports.

•Rack MUST NOT touch metal walls or back of microwave oven.

2.Place equal amounts of food both ABOVE AND BELOW rack.

•Amount of food must be approximately the same to balance out cooking energy.
