GROUNDINGINSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock 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.
WARNING
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of
electric shock.
,, Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove
the third (grounding) prong. Do not use an adaptor or
otherwise defeat the grounding plug.
,, Consult a qualified electrician or service person if you
do not understand the grounding instructions or if you
are not sure if the appliance is properly grounded.
,, We do not recommend using an extension cord with
this appliance. If the power-supply cord is too short,
have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an
outlet near the appliance. However, if it is necessary
to use an extension cord, read and follow the "Use of
Extension Cords" section below.
Use of Extension Cords
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk
of your becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available
and you can use them if you exercise care. If you use a
long cord or extension cord:
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.
Ifyou use an extension cord, the interior light may
flicker and the speed of the blower may vary when the
microwave oven is on. Cooking times may be longer,
too.

below the oven, smother the flaming pan on the
surface unit by covering the pan completely with a
lid, a cookie sheet or a flat tray.
Never leave surface units beneath your oven
unattended at high heat settings. Boil overs cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite and
spread if the vent fan is operating. To minimize
automatic fan operation, use adequate sized
cookware and use high heat on surface units only
when necessary.
If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep the
oven door closed, turn the oven off, and disconnect

AUTO DEFROST BUTTON
The defrost choices are preset in the oven. The defrost cycle 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 function beeps to remind you to check or turn over the food during the defrost cycle.
Press the Auto Defrost button once and select the food weight. The available weight ranges from 0.1 to 6.0 Ibs.
1. Press the Auto Defrost button.
2. Use the number buttons to enter the weight.
3. Press the ENTER/START button.
(_ fter pressing the ENTER/START button, the display counts down the defrosting time. The oven will beep twice
during the defrost cycle. At this time, open the door and turn the food as needed. Remove any thawed portions,
then return the frozen portions to the oven and press the ENTER/START button to resume the defrost cycle. The
defrost cycle continues while the oven is beeping and only stops when the door is opened.
Defrosting tips
When using auto defrost, the entered weight is the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds (the weight of the food
minus the container).
Use the auto defrost cycle for raw food only. The auto defrost cycle gives best results when the food you want to thaw
is no colder than 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
the food from cooking.
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 thick
block.
Separate the 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 such as chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails, but the foil must
not touch the sides of the oven as foil causes arcing, which can damage the oven lining.

For food to cook in the microwave oven, the
microwaves must be able to penetrate the food
without being reflected or absorbed by the dish,
It is important to choose the correct cookware,
therefore, look for cookware that is marked
microwave-safe,
The following table lists various types of
cookware and indicates if and how they should
be used in a microwave oven,
MICROWAVE-SAFE UTENSILS
Ifyou are not sure whether an item is microwave-safe, you
can perform the following simple test:
1. Place 1 cup of water (in a glass-measuring cup) inside
your oven next to the item to be tested.
2. Press the Add 30 sec button twice to heat them both
for one minute at high power.
After one minute, the water should be warm and the item
you are testing should be cool. Ifthe dish is warm, then it
is absorbing microwave energy and is not microwave-safe.
