IMPORTANT GROUNDING

NSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shoc k by providing an escape wire for the electrical current. This appliance is equipped with a cord that includes a grounding wire and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. Plug the three-pron g power cord into a properly grounded outlet of standard 115-120 voltage, 60 Hz. Your oven should be the only appliance on this circuit.

AVE

HESE INSTRUCTIONS

Safety

WARNING

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if you do not understand the grounding instructions or if you are not sure if the appliance is properly grounded.

Use of Extension Cords

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. 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 it must be plugged into a 3-slot outlet.

3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally. If you use an extension cord, the interior light may flicker and the blower may vary when the microwave oven is on. Cooking times may be longer, too.

Note

Connect the oven to a 20A circuit. When connecting the oven to a 15A circuit, make sure that circuit breaker is operable.

Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or bo ilin g w he n the co n ta in er is rem o v ed from the microwave oven is no t always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR 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 bot h 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.

WARNING

Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord under any circumstances.

Paper plates and cups — Use for short-term heating at low

• temperatures. Do not use recycled paper, which ma y contain metal and can catch fire.

Thermometers — Use only those labeled “Microwave Safe” and follow

• all directions. Check the food in several places. Conventional thermometers may be u sed once the food has been rem oved from the oven.

Limited Use

• Aluminum foil — Use narrow str ips of fo il to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Using too much foil can damage your oven, so be careful.

Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware — Use these if they are labeled

• “Microwave Safe”. If they are not labeled, test them to ma ke sure they can be used safely. Never use di shes with metallic trim.

Plastic — Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe”. Other plastics can melt.

•

Straw, wicker, and wood — Use only for short-term heating, as they

• can be flammable.

Not Recommended

• Glass jars and bottles — Regular glass is too thin to be used in a

microwave, and ca n shatter.

Paper bags — These are a fire hazard, exce pt for popcorn bags that

• are designed for microwave use.

Styrofoam plates and cups — These can melt and leave an

• unhealthy residue on fo od.

•

Plastic storage and food containers — Containers such as

Testing Utensils

If you are not sure whether a dish is microwave-safe or not, you can perform this test:

1 Fill a cup with water and put inside your oven, next to the dish you

want to test.

2 Press the One Minute + button on ce to hea t them for o ne minut e at

High power.

The water should be warm and the dish you are testing should be cool. If the dish is warm, then it is absor bi ng microwave energy and is not acc ept able for use in the microwave.

Cooking Instructions

Cooking Techniques

Stirring

Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and heats more quickly, so stir from the outside to the center. The oven will turn off when you open the door to st ir your food.

Arrangement

Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with the thicker, meatier parts tow ar d th e outside of the turntable wh er e th ey rec ei ve more microwave energy. To prevent overcooking, place thin or delicate parts toward the center of the turntable.

Shielding

Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Areas that need shielding includ e poultry wing-tips, the ends of poultry legs, and corners of square baking dishes. Use only small amounts of aluminum foil. Larger amounts can dam age your oven.

Turning

Turn foods over midway t hr ough cooking to expose al l pa rts t o m i cr ow av e energy. This is especially important with large items such as roasts.

Standing

Foods cooked in the microw ave build up internal heat and continue to cook for a few minutes after the oven stops. Let foods stand to complete cooking, especially foods such as roasts and whole vegetables. Roasts need this time to complete cooking in the ce nt er w ith out overcooking the outer areas. All liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken or stirred when cooking is complete. Let liquids stand a moment before serving. When heating baby food, stir well and te st th e temperature before serv in g.

Adding Moisture

Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture content should be covered or allowed to st and so that the heat disperses evenly. Add a smal l am ount of water to dry food to hel p i t co ok.

General Tips

• Dense foods, such as potatoes, take longer to heat than light er fo ods. Foods with a de l icate text ure should be heated at a low power level to avoid becoming tough.

• Altitude and the type of cookware you are using can affect cooking time. When using a ne w r ecipe, use th e m i nimum cooking time and check the food occasionally to pr ev ent overcooking.

• Foods with a non-porous skin such as potatoes or hot dogs, should be pierced to prevent burs ting.

• Frying with heating oil or fat is not recommended. Fat and oil can suddenly boil over and cause severe burns.

• Some ingredients heat faster than others. For example, the jelly inside a jelly doughnut will be hotter than the dough. Keep this in mind to avoid burns.

• Ho m e canning in the microwav e ove n i s not recommended beca use all harmful bacteria may not be destroyed by the microwave heating process.

• Although microw aves do no t heat the cook ware , the heat from the food is often transferred to th e cookware. Always use po t hol der s w hen removing fo od from the microwave and inst r uct children to do the same.

• Ma ki ng candy in the microwave is not recommended as ca ndy can heat to very high temperatures. Keep this in mind to avoid injury.

Cooking Instructions

Auto Sensor Cook

The Auto Se nsor allow s yo u to co ok you r fo od aut omat ical ly b y det ecti ng t he amount of moisture generated from the food while cooking.

• When cooking food, m any kinds of moisture are gen erated. The Au t o Sensor determines the pr oper time and power level by de te ct i ng the moisture from the food, el iminating the need to set the cooking time and power level.

• When you cover a container with its lid or pl ast ic w r ap during Sensor Cooking, the Auto Sensor will detect the moisture generated after the container has been satu ra te d w i th ste am .

• Shortly before cooking ends, the remaining cooking time will begin its count down. This will be a good time for you to rotate or stir the food for even cooking if it is neces sar y.

• Before auto sensor cooking food may be seasoned with herbs, spices or browning sauces. A word of caution though, salt or sugar may cause burn spots on food so these ingredients should be added after cooking.

• The More/Less function pad is used to increase or decrease cooking time. You should use this function to adjust the degree of cooking to suit your personal taste.

Utensils & Cover For Sensor Cooking

• To obtain good cooking results with this function, follow the directions for selecting appropriate co nt ai ners and covers in the chart s in th is book.

• Always use microwave-safe c ont ai ners and cover them with thei r lids or with plastic wrap. When using plastic wrap, turn back one corner to allow steam to escape at the proper rate.

• Always cover with the lid intended for the ut ensil being used. If the utensil does not have its ow n lid , us e plastic wrap.

• Fill containers at least half full.

• Foods t hat require stirring or rotatin g should be stirred or turned toward the end of the Sensor Cook cycle, after the time has started to count down on the display.

Important

• It its no t ad vi sable to use the auto sensor cooking feature on a continuous cooking operation, i.e. one cooking operation immediately after another.

• Install the oven in a well ventilated location for proper cooling and air flow and to ensure the sensor w ill ope rate accurately.

• To avoid poor results, do not use th e Aut o sensor when the room ambient temperature is too high or too low.

• Do not use volatile detergent to clean your oven. Moisture resulting from this detergent may af fe ct th e sensor.

• Avoi d placing the oven near high m oi st ur e or gas emitting appliances, since this will interfere with the proper performance of the Auto Sensor.

• Always keep the inside of the oven clean. Wipe all spills with a damp cloth.

This oven is designed f or household use only.
