What You Need to Know About Safety Instructions
Warning and Important Safety Instructions appearing in this Use & Care Guide are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. Common sense, caution, and care must be exercised when installing, maintaining, or operating microwave.
Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent, or manufacturer about problems or conditions you do not understand.

CAUTION
To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe the following:
1.Do not deep fat fry in oven. Fat could overheat and be hazardous to handle.
2.Do not cook or reheat eggs in shell or with an unbroken yolk using microwave energy. Pressure may build up and erupt. Pierce yolk with fork or knife before cooking.
3.Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes, and similar foods before cooking with microwave energy. When skin is pierced, steam escapes evenly.
4.Do not operate oven without load or food in oven cavity.
5.Use only popcorn in packages designed and labeled for microwave use. Popping time varies depending on oven wattage. Do not continue to heat after popping has stopped. Popcorn will scorch or burn. Do not leave oven unattended.
6.Do not use regular cooking thermometers in oven. Most cooking thermometers contain mercury and may cause an electrical arc, malfunction, or damage to oven.
7.Do not use metal utensils in oven.
8.Never use paper, plastic, or other combustible materials that are not intended for cooking.
9.When cooking with paper, plastic, or other combustible materials, follow manufacturer's recommendations on product use.
10.Do not use paper towels which contain nylon or other synthetic fibers. Heated synthetics could melt and cause paper to ignite.
11.Do not heat sealed containers or plastic bags in oven. Food or liquid could expand quickly and cause container or bag to break. Pierce or open container or bag before cooking.
12.To avoid pacemaker malfunction, consult physician or pacemaker manufacturer about effects of microwave energy on pacemaker.
Important Safety Instructions
WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock or death, this oven must be grounded and plug must not be altered.
Grounding Instructions
Oven MUST be grounded. Grounding reduces risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electric current if an electrical short
occurs. This oven is equipped with a
cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. See Installation Instructions.
Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the oven is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the product power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install a three-slot receptacle. This oven should be plugged into a separate 60 hertz circuit with the electrical rating as shown in specifications table. When the oven is on a circuit with other equipment, an increase in cooking times may be required and fuses can be blown. Microwave operates on standard household current, 110-120V.
Federal Communications
Commission Radio Frequency
Interference Statement
(U.S.A. Only)
This equipment generates and uses ISM frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception. It has been type tested and found to comply with limits for ISM Equipment pursuant to part 18 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following:
●Reorient the receiving antenna of the radio or television.
●Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver.
●Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.
●Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that the microwave oven and the receiver are on different branch circuits.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or television interference caused by unauthorized modification to this microwave oven. It is the responsibility of the user to correct such interference.
Precautions to Avoid Possible Exposure to Excessive Microwave Energy
A.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.
B.DO NOT place any object between the oven front face and the door to allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
C.DO NOT operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that oven door close properly and that there is no damage to:
1.door (bent),
2.hinges and latches (broken or loosened),
3.door seals and sealing surfaces.
D.Oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.
WARNING
Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD
RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
1.Do not overheat the liquid.
2.Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
3.Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
4.After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.
5.Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

Operating Instructions
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 SENSING 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.Glass turntable and outside of 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 the STOP/CLEAR pad 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.
ADDING OR
SUBTRACTING
COOK TIME
By using the MORE+ or LESS- pads all of the sensor cook and time cook settings can be adjusted to cook food for a longer or shorter time. Pressing MORE+ will add 10 seconds of cooking time each time you press it. Pressing LESS- will subtract 10 seconds of cooking time each time you press it.
POPCORN
POPCORN lets you pop commercially packaged microwave popcorn. Pop only one package at a time. For best results, use fresh bags of popcorn.
Example: To pop popcorn
1. Touch
POPCORN pad. When the cook time is over, you will hear four beeps and END will display.
●Recommended amounts: 3.0-3.5 ozs.
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.
PIZZA SLICE
Reheating pizza with PIZZA SLICE lets you reheat one or several slices of pizza without selecting cooking times and power levels.
Example: To reheat 2 slices of pizza.
1. Touch PIZZA SLICE pad.
When the cook time is over, you will hear four beeps and END will display.
●Recommended amounts: 1-3 slices, (about 3-5 ozs. each slice).
