LOCATION OF MODEL NUMBER

To request service information or replacement parts,

the service center will require the complete model number of your microwave oven. The number is on the inside of the door frame as shown in the illustration below.

OVEN SPECIFICATIONS

Output Power 900 W (IEC 60705 Standard) Outer Dimensions 29-13/16 in. x 16-7/16 in. x 15-6/16 in. Cavity Volume 1.8 Cu.ft Net Weight 55 lbs.

ELECTRICAL RATING

* Electrical Rating of the Oven:120V AC 60Hz *

13 Amps / 1500 Watts ( MWO + Cooktop Lamp + Ventilation Fan)

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

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.

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.

WARNING

- If you use the

grounding plug improperly, you risk electric shock.

Ask a qualified electrician if you do not understand the grounding instructions or if you do not know 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 should be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

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.

Ensure proper ground

exists before use

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 the sensor category during the initial sensing period. The oven automatically determines the 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 when cooking by Sensor, follow these recommendations:

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.

Foods should always be covered loosely with mic

rowavable plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a lid.

4. Do not open the door or press 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 to 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.

OPERATION

Example : To defrost 1.2 lbs. of meat.

1. Press Defrost Weight/Time

once to choose the Meat category.

2. Enter the weight.

3. Press START/Enter.

1. Meat

2. Poultry

3. Fish

4. Bread

5. Set Time

NOTE: After you press 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 the frozen portions to the oven and press START/Enter to

resume the defrost cycle. The oven will not stop following 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.

QUICK DEFROST

This is a quick defrost feature that allows you to choose a preset 2 minute defrost cycle at the touch of a button.

When the defrost time is over, four beeps will sound and End will display.

DEFROST WEIGHT / TIME

Five 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 Defrost feature 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 presets are provided, plus the option to set your own defrost time.

Press Defrost Weight/Time multiple times to select the category you want. Then enter weight. 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.
