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, 110120V.

Getting The Best Cooking Results

To get the best results from your microwave oven, read and follow the guidelines below.

•Storage Temperature: Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same foods at room temperature.

•Size: Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones, pieces similar in size and shape cook more evenly. For even cooking, reduce the power when cooking large pieces of food.

•Natural Moisture: Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave energy is attracted to water molecules.

•Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables from the outside to the center to distribute the heat evenly and speed cooking. Constant stirring is not necessary.

•Turn over foods like pork chops, baking potatoes, roasts, or whole cauliflower halfway through the cooking time to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.

•Place delicate areas of foods, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the dish.

•Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or salmon steaks, with the thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the dish.

•Shield, with small pieces of aluminum foil, parts of food that may cook quickly, such as wing tips and leg ends of poultry.

•Let It Stand: After you remove the food from the microwave, cover food with foil or casserole lid and let it stand to finish cooking in the center and avoid overcooking the outer edges.The length of standing time depends on the density and surface area of the food.

•Wrapping in waxed paper or paper towel: Sandwiches and many other foods containing prebaked bread should be wrapped prior to microwaving to prevent drying out.

AUTO DEFROST

Defrost choices are preset in the oven. The defrost feature provides you with the best defrosting method for frozen foods, because the oven automatically sets the defrosting times according to the weight you enter. For added convenience, the AUTO DEFROST beeps to remind you to check or turn over the food during the defrost cycle.

After touching the AUTO DEFROST pad once, enter the food weight. Available weight ranges are 0.1 to 6.0 lbs.

Example:To defrost 1.2 lbs of meat.

1.Touch AUTO DEFROST pad.

2. Enter the weight. (0.1-6.0 lbs.)

3.Touch ENTER/ START pad.

NOTES:

•After you touch ENTER/START pad, the display counts down the defrost time.The oven will beep twice during the Defrost cycle.

At this time, open the door and turn the food as needed. Remove any portions that have thawed or separate pieces then return frozen portions to the oven and touch ENTER/START pad to resume the defrost cycle.

•The oven will not stop during the BEEP unless the door is opened.

DEFROSTING GUIDE

•Follow the instructions below when defrosting different types of food.

	Food	Standard	Procedure

	2.5-6.0 lbs.	portions with narrow
Chicken		strips of aluminum foil.
		After the second stage,
		again shield any warm

		Let stand, covered for
		30-60 minutes in the
		refrigerator.
		After each stage,
Chicken		rearrange or remove
	0.5-3.0 lbs.	any pieces of food that
Pieces		are nearly defrosted.
		Let stand for 10-20
		minutes.

DEFROSTTIPS

•When using AUTO DEFROST, the weight to be entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds (the weight of the food minus the container).

•Use AUTO DEFROST only for raw food. AUTO DEFROST gives best results when food to be thawed is a minimum of 0°F (taken directly from a true freezer). If food has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a temperature of 5°F or below, always program a lower food weight (for a shorter defrosting time) to prevent cooking the food.

•If the food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20 minutes, enter a lower food weight.

•The shape of the package alters the defrosting time. Shallow rectangular packets defrost more quickly than a deep block.

•Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated pieces defrost more easily.

•Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to become warm.

•You can use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield foods like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails, but the foil must not touch the side of the oven. Foil causes arcing, which can damage the oven lining.

1POUND DEFROST

The 1POUND DEFROST feature provides a rapid defrost for 1.0 pound frozen food. The oven automatically sets the defrosting time.

Example:To defrost 1lb. ground beef.

1.Touch 1POUND DEFROST pad.

2.Touch ENTER/ START pad.

WIRE RACK

CAUTION

To avoid risk of property damage:

•Do not use rack to pop popcorn.

•Rack must be on the four plastic supports when used.

•Use the rack only when cooking food on rack position.

•Do not cook with rack on floor of the oven.

The wire rack gives you extra space when cooking in more than one container at the same time.

To use rack:

1.Place rack securely in the four plastic supports.

•Rack MUST NOT touch metal walls or back of microwave oven.

2.Place equal amounts of food both ABOVE AND BELOW rack.

•Amount of food must be approximately the same to balance out cooking energy.

IMPORTANT:

•DO NOT store or use the wire rack in this oven unless more than one item is being cooked or a recipe calls for it.

•Damage to the oven could occur.

Guide for Cooking Eggs inYour 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 inYour 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 evenly if turned over after half the cooking time has passed.

•Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli 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 their skin pricked in several spots 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, while a dish of peas can be served immediately.

Care and Cleaning

CARE AND CLEANING

For best performance and safety, keep the oven clean inside and outside.Take special care to keep the inner door panel and the oven front frame free of food or grease build-up.

Never use rough powder or pads.

Wipe the microwave oven inside and out, including the hood bottom cover, with a soft cloth and a warm (not hot) mild detergent solution.Then rinse and wipe dry. Use a chrome cleaner and polish on chrome, metal and aluminum surfaces.Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or bacon. Clean your oven weekly or more often, if needed.

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. Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not 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 measuring 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 cleaning the oven or tray.To prevent the tray from breaking, handle it carefully 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 damage to the operating 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 use 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.

CLEANINGTHE GREASE FILTER

The grease filter should be removed and cleaned often, at least once a month.

CAUTION

Troubleshooting

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

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

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 on.

•Make sure the door is closed securely.

•Check to see if packing material or other material is stuck to the door seal.

•Check for door damage.

•Press STOP/CLEAR pad twice and re-enter all cooking instructions.

The power goes off before the set time has elapsed.

•If there has not been a power outage, remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten seconds, then plug it in again. If there was a power outage, the time indicator will display:

PLEASETOUCH CLOCK AND SETTIME OF DAY. Reset the clock and any cooking instructions.

•Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuse.

The food is cooking too slowly.

•Make sure the oven is on its own 20 amp circuit line. Operating another appliance on the same circuit can cause a voltage drop. If necessary, move the oven to its own circuit.

You see sparks or arcing.

•Remove any metallic utensils, cookware, or metal ties. If using foil, use only narrow strips and allow at least one inch between the foil and interior oven walls.

The turntable makes noises or sticks.

•Clean the turntable, roller ring and oven floor.

•Make sure the turntable and roller ring are positioned correctly.

Using your microwave causesTV or radio interference.

•This is similar to the interference caused by other small appliances, such as hair dryers. Move your microwave further away from other appliances, like your TV or radio.

Note:

If the oven is set to cook for more than 25 minutes, it will automatically adjust itself to 70 percent power after 25 minutes to avoid overcooking.

If you have a problem you cannot solve, please call our service line:
