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.
WARNING
Improper
grounding
can
result
in
a
risk
of
elec-
tric
shock.
Consult
a
qualified
electrician
if
the
grounding
instructions
are
not
completely
under-
stood,
or
if
doubt
exists
as
to
whether
the
appli-
ance
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
recepta-
cle
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
exer-
cised
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.
Ensure
proper
ground
exists
before
use

INSTALLATION
A.
Circuits
For
safety
purposes
this
oven
must
be
plugged
into
a
15
or
20
Amp
circuit.
No
other
electrical
appliances
or
lighting
circuits
should
be
on
this
line.
If
in
doubt,
con-
sult
a
licensed
electrician.
B.
Voltage
Warning
The
voltage
used
at
the
wall
receptacle
must
be
the
same
as
specified
on
the
oven
name
plate
located
on
the
back
or
on
the
side
of
the
control
panel
of
the
oven.
Use
of
a
higher
voltage
is
dangerous
and
may
result
in
a
fire
or
other
type
of
accident
causing
oven
damage.
Low
voltage
will
cause
slow
cooking.
In
case
your
microwave
oven
does
not
perform
normally
in
spite
of
proper
voltage,
remove
and
reinsert
the
plug.
C.
Placement
of
the
Oven
Your
microwave
oven
can
be
placed
easily
in
your
kitchen,

room,
or
anywhere
else
in
your
home.
Place
the
oven
on
a
flat
surface
such
as a
kitchen
countertop
or
a
specially
designed
microwave
oven
cart.
Do
not
place
oven
above
a
gas
or
electric
range.
Free
air
flow
around
the
oven
is
important.
Allow
at
least
4
inches
of
space
at
the
top,
sides,
and
back
of
the
oven
for
proper
ventilation.
D.
Do
not
block
the
air
vents
All air
vents
should
be
kept
clear
during
cooking.
If
air
vents
are
covered
during
oven
operation
the
oven
may
overheat.
In
this
case,
a
sensitive
thermal
safety
device
automatically
turns
the
oven
off.
The
oven
will
be
inoperable
until
it
has
cooled
sufficiently.
E.
Radio
interference
1.
Microwave
oven
operation
may
interfere
with
TV
or
radio
reception.
2.
When
there
is
interference,
it
may
be
reduced
or
eliminated
by
taking
the
following
measures:
a.
Clean
the
door
and
the
sealing
surfaces
of
the
oven.
b.
Reorient
the
receiving
antenna
of
radio
or
television.

Relocate
the
microwave
oven
in
relation
to
the
TV
or
radio.
d.
Move
the
microwave
oven
away
from
the
receiver.
e.
Plug
the
microwave
oven
into
a
different
outlet
so
that
microwave
oven
and
receiver
are
on
different
branch
circuits.

USE
Ovenproof
Glass
?
Glass
treated
for
use
in
high-intensity
heat
includes
utility
dishes,
bread
dishes,
pie
plates,
cake
plates,
liquid
measuring
cups,
casseroles,
and
bowls
without
metallic
trim.
China
?
Bowls,
cups,
serving
plates,
and
platters
without
metallic
trim
can
be
used
in
your
oven.
Plastic
?
When
using
plastic
wrap
as a
cover,
make
sure
that
the
dish
is
deep
enough
so
the
plastic
wrap
does
not
touch
the
food.
As
the
food
heats,
it
may
melt
the
plastic
wrap
wherever
the
wrap
touches
the
food.
?
Place
plastic
wrap
loosely
over
the
top
of
the
dish
and
secure
it
by
pressing
the
wrap
to
the
sides
of
the
dish.
?
Vent
by
turning
back
one
corner
of
the
plastic
wrap.
This
will
allow
excess
steam
to
escape.
?
Use
plastic
dishes,
cups,
semi-rigid
freezer
containers,
and
plastic
bags
only
for
short
time
cooking.
Use
these
with
care
because
the
plastic
may
soften
from
the
heat
of
the
food.
Paper
?
Microwave-safe
paper
towels,
waxed
paper,
paper
napkins,
and
paper
plates
with
no
metallic
trim
or
design
can
be
used
in
your
oven.
?
Refer
to
the
manufacturer's
label
for
use
of
any
paper
product
in
the
microwave
oven.
DO
NOT
USE
Metal
Utensil
?
Metal
shields
food
from
microwave
energy
and
produces
uneven
cooking.
Avoid
metal
skewers,
thermometers,
or
foil
trays.
?
Metal
utensils
can
cause
arcing,
which
is
a
discharge
of
electric
current.
Arcing
can
damage
your
microwave
oven.
Metal
Decoration
?
Do
not
use
metal-trimmed
or
metal-banded
dinnerware,
casserole
dishes,
etc.
CenturaTM
Tableware
?
The
Corning
Company
recommends
that
you
do
not
use
Centura
tableware
and
some
CorelleTM
closed-handle
cups
for
microwave
cooking.
Aluminum
Foil
?
Avoid
large
sheets
of
aluminum
foil
because
they
hinder
cooking
and
may
cause
arcing.
?
Use
small
pieces
of
foil
to
shield
poultry
legs
and
wings.
?
Keep
all
aluminum
foil
at
least
1
inch
from
the
walls
and
door
of
the
oven.
Wood
?
Wooden
bowls,
boards,
and
baskets
will
dry
out
and
may
split
or
crack
when
you
use
them
in
the
microwave
oven.
Tightly
Closed
Containers
?
Tightly
closed
cookware
can
explode.
Be
sure
to
leave
an
opening
for
steam
to
escape
from
covered
cookware.
Brown
Paper
?
Avoid
using
brown
paper
bags.
They
absorb
heat
and
could
burn.
Metal Twist
Ties
?
Always
remove
metal
twist
ties
as
they
can
become
hot
and
cause
a
fire.
COOKWARE
GUIDE
Most
heat-resistant,
non-metallic
cookware
is
safe
for
use
in
your
microwave
oven.
However,
to
test
cookware
before
using,
follow
these
steps:
1.
Place
the
empty
cookware
in
the
microwave
oven.
2.
Measure
1
cup
of
water
in
a
glass
measuring
cup
and
place
it
in
the
oven
beside
the
cookware.
3.
Microwave
on
100%
power
for
1
minute.
If
the
dish
is
warm,
it
should
not
be
used
for
microwave
cooking.

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.
