IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
WARNING-To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive
microwave energy:
11. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
12. Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO
AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY” found on page 1.
13. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to
properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS” found on page 4.
14. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance
with the provided installation instructions.
15. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers - for example, closed glass jars are able
to explode and should not be heated in this oven.
16.
Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual. Do not use corrosive
chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type of
oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry
food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.
17. As with any appliance, close supervision is
necessary when used by children.
18. Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged
cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has
been damaged or dropped.
19. This appliance should be serviced only by qualified
service personnel.
Contact nearest authorized service facility for
examination, repair or adjustment.
10.
Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
11. Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this

12. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
13. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
14. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
15. When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that
comes together on closing the door, use only mild,
non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a
sponge or soft cloth.
16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance
when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials
are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
b) Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags
before placing bag in oven.
c) If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven
door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the
power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit
breaker panel.
d) Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do
not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or
food in the cavity when not in use.
17. 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:
a) Do not overheat the liquid.
b) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating it.
c) Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow

MICROWAVE OVEN USE
A magnetron in the microwave oven produces micro
waves
which
reflect off the metal floor, walls and
ceiling and pass
through the
turntable and appropriate
cookware to the food.
Microwaves are
attracted to
and absorbed by fat, sugar and
water molecules in
the food, causing them to move,
producing
friction
and heat
which cooks the food.
To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not
lean on or
allow children to swing on the microwave
oven door.
To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not
operate
when it is empty.
Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be
heated in
microwave oven.
Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper,
including
brown paper bags and newspaper, should
not be dried in
microwave oven.
Paraffin wax will not melt in the microwave oven
because it
does not absorb microwaves.
Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing
con
tainers from
microwave oven.
Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the reco
mmended
cook time, potatoes should be slightly
firm. Let potatoes
stand for 5 minutes. They will
finish cooking while standing.
Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell.
Steam
buildup in whole eggs may cause them to
burst, requiring
significant cleanup of microwave
oven cavity. Cover poached
eggs and allow a
standing time.
Food Characteristics
When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape,
starting
temperature, composition and density of the
food affect cooking
results.
Amount of Food
The more food heated at once, the longer the cook time
needed.
Check for doneness and add small increments
of time if
necessary.
Size and Shape
Smaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger
pieces,
and uniformly shaped foods cook more evenly
than irregularly
shaped food.
Starting Temperature
Room temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated
foods,
and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen
foods.
Composition and Density
Foods high in fat and sugar will reach a higher temper
ature, and
will heat faster than other foods. Heavy,
dense foods, such as
meat and potatoes, require a
longer cook time than the same size
of a light, porous
food, such as cake.
Cooking Guidelines
Covering
Covering food helps retain moisture, shorten cook time and
reduce spattering. Use the lid supplied with cookware. If a
lid is
not available, wax paper, paper towels or plastic wrap
approved
for microwave ovens may be used. Plastic wrap
should be turned
back at one corner to provide an opening
to vent steam.
Condensation on the door and cavity surfaces
is normal during
heavy cooking.
Stirring and Turning
Stirring and turning redistribute heat evenly to avoid over
cooking
the outer edges of food. Stir from outside to
center. If possible,
turn food over from bottom to top.
Arranging
If heating irregularly shaped or different sized foods, arrange
the
thinner parts and smaller sized items toward the center. If
cooking several items of the same size and shape, place them
in
a ring pattern, leaving the center of the ring empty.
Piercing
Before heating, use a fork or small knife to pierce or prick
foods
that have a skin or membrane, such as potatoes, egg
yolks,
chicken livers, hot dogs, and sausage. Prick in several
places to
allow steam to vent.
Shielding
Use small, flat pieces of aluminum foil to shield the thin
pieces of
irregularly shaped foods, bones and foods such
as chicken
wings, leg tips and fish tail. See “Aluminum Foil
and Metal” first.
Standing Time
Food will continue to cook by the natural conduction of heat
even
after the microwave cooking cycle ends. The length of
standing
time depends on the volume and density of the food.
Cookware and Dinnerware
Cookware and dinnerware must fit on the turntable.
Always use
oven mitts or pot holders when handling
because any dish may
become hot from heat transf
erred
from the food. Do not use
cookware and
dinnerware with gold or silver trim. Use the
following
chart as a guide, then test before using.
MATERIAL RECOMMENDATIONS

1 cup (250 mL) of water beside it.
2. Cook at 100% cooking power for 1 minute.
Do not use cookware or dinnerware if it becomes hot and the
water stays cool.
Aluminum Foil and Metal
Always use oven mitts or pot holders when removing
dishes from
the microwave oven.
Aluminum foil and some metal can be used in the microwave
oven. If not used properly, arcing (a blue flash of light) can
occur
and cause damage to the microwave oven.
OK for Use
Racks and bakeware supplied with the microwave oven
(on some
models), aluminum foil for shielding, and approved
meat
thermometers may be used with the following
guidelines:
To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow
aluminum foil or metal to touch the inside cavity walls,
ceiling or floor.
Always use the turntable.
To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow
contact with another metal object during microwave cooking.
Do Not Use
Metal cookware and bakeware, gold, silver, pewter, nonapproved meat thermometers, skewers, twist ties, foil liners
such as sandwich wrappers, staples and objects with gold or
silver trim or a metallic glaze should not be used in the
microwave oven.
