MPORTANT GROUNDING

I

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.

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 gro unding-type 3-wire cord and it m ust
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.

Cooking Techniques

Stirring

Stir foods such as casser oles an d vegeta bles whi le cook ing to dis tribut e
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 stir your food.

Arrangement

Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with
the thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable where they
receive 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 include poultry wing-tips, the ends of poultry
legs, and corners of square baking dishes. Use only small amounts of
aluminum foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven.

Turning

Turn foods ov er midway through cooking to expose all parts to micro­wave energy. This is especially important with large items such as
roasts.

Standing

Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue to
cook for a few minutes af ter the ov en sto ps. Let foods s tand to complete
cooking, especially foods such as roasts and whole vegetables. Roasts
need this time to complete cooking in the center without overcooking the
outer areas. All liq uids, such a s soup or h ot chocol ate, shoul d be shaken
or stirred when cooking is complete. Let liquids stand a moment before
serving. When heating baby food, stir well and test the temperature
before serving.

Adding Moisture

Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven
in moisture content should be covered or allowed to stand so that the
heat disperses e venly . Add a s mall amou nt of wate r to dr y food to help it
cook.

General Tips

• Dense foods, such as potatoes, take longer to heat than lighter
foods. Foods with a delicate texture shoul d 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 new recipe, use the minimum cooking time and
check the food occasionally to prevent overcooking.

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

• 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.

• Home canning in the microwave ov en is not recommended because
all harmful bacteria may not be destroyed by the microwave heating
process.

• Although microwaves do not heat the cookware, the heat from the
food is often transferred to the cookware. Always use pot holders
when removing food from the microwave and instruct children to do
the same.

• Making candy in the microwave is not recommended as candy can
heat to very high temperatures. Keep this in mind to avoid injury.

Cooking Instructions

Auto Sensor Cook

The Auto Sensor allows you to cook your food automatically by detect­ing the amount of moisture generated from the food while cooking.

• When cooking food, many kinds of mo isture are genera ted. The Auto
Sensor determines the proper time and power level by detecting the
moisture from the food, eliminating the need to set the cooking time
and power level.

• When you cover a container with it s li d or plastic wrap d uring Sen sor
Cooking, the Auto Sensor will detect the moisture generated after
the container has been saturat ed with 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 necessary.

• 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 spot s on foo d so th ese in gred ients shoul d be add ed
after cooking.

• The More/Less function pa d is u sed to increa se or d ecreas e coo king
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 containers and covers in the
charts in this book.

• Always use microwave-safe co ntainers an d cover them with their 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 utensil being used. If the
utensil does not have its own lid, use plastic wrap.

• Fill containers at least half full.

• Foods that require stirring or rotating 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

• After installing the oven and plugging into an electrical outlet, do not
unplug the power cord. The moisture sensor needs time to stabilize
in order to cook satisfactorily.

• It is not advisable 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
airflow and to ensure the sensor will operate accurately.

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

• Do not use volatile detergent to clean your oven. Vapor resulting
from this detergent may affect the sensor.

• Avoid placing the oven near high moisture or gas emitting
appliances, since this will interfere with the proper performance of
the Auto Sensor.

• Always keep the inside o f the ov en cl ean. Wip e all s pills with a damp
cloth.

This oven is designed for household use only.

Guide for Cooking Eggs in Your Microwave

• Never cook eggs in the shell, and never warm hard-cooked eggs in
the shell; they can explode.

• Always pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting.

• Cook eggs just until set; they become tough if overcooked.

Guide for Cooking Vegetables in Your Microwave

• Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Often, no extra
water is needed. If dense vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and
green beans are being cooked, add about ¼ cup water.

• Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook
faster than larger ones.

• Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or corn on the
cob, should be arranged in a circle on the turntable before cooking.
They will cook more ev enly if turned over after half the cooking time.

• Always place vegetables like aspara gus and br oc co li with the stem
ends pointing towards the edge of the dish and the tips toward the
center.

• When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with a lid or
vented microwavable plastic wrap.

• Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, squash, eggplant,
etc., should have th eir skin pricked in sev eral spo ts before cooking to
prevent them from bursting.

• For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway
through the cooking time.

• Generally, the denser the food, the longer the standing time.
(Standing time refers to the time necessary for dense, large foods
and vegetables to finish cooking after they come out of the oven.) A
baked potato can stand on the counter for five minutes before
cooking is completed, while a dish of peas can be served
immediately.

Appendix

Troubleshooting Guide

Before you call a repair person for your oven, check this list of possible
problems and solution s.

Neither the oven’s display nor the oven operate.

• Properly insert the plug into a grounded outlet.

• If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch, make sure the wall switch
is turned on.

• Remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten seconds, then plug it in
again.

• Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuse.

• Plug another appliance into the outlet; if the other appliance doesn’t
work, have a qualified electrician repair the outlet.

• Plug the oven into a different outlet.

The oven’s display works, but the power won’t come

Care and Cleaning

Follow these instructions to clean and care for your oven.

• Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids
can stick to the oven walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently.

• Wipe up spills immediately. Us e a dam p c loth and mi ld s oa p. D o no t
use harsh detergents or abrasives.

• To help loosen baked on food particles or liquids, heat two cups of
water (add the juice of one lemon if you desire to keep the oven
fresh) in a four-cup me asuring glass at High power for five minutes
or until boiling. Let stand in the oven for one or two minutes.

• Remove the glass tray from the oven when clea ning the ov en or t ray.
To prevent the tray fr om breaking , handle i t carefull y and do not put it
in water immediately after cooking. Wash the tray carefully in warm
sudsy water or in the dishwasher.

• Clean the outside surface of the oven with soap and a damp cloth.
Dry with a soft cloth. To prevent da mage to the ope rating parts of the
oven, don’t let water seep into the openings.

• Wash the door window with very mild soap and water. Be sure to u se
a soft cloth to avoid scratching.

• If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a
soft cloth. Steam can accumulate when operating the oven in high
humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage.

• Never operate the oven without food in it; this can damage the
magnetron tube or glass tray. You may wish to leave a cup of water
in the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is
accidentally turned on.
