GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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. If you 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.

MICROWAVE COOKING TIMES & POWER LEVELS

Your oven allows you to set two different cooking stages, each with its own time length and power level. The power level lets you control the heating intensity from Warm (1) to High (10).

One-stage cooking

For simple, one-stage cooking, you only need to set the cooking time. The power level is automatically set to High. If you want to set the power level to any other level, use the Power Level button.

1.Use the number buttons to set a cooking time. You can enter a time from one second to 99 minutes and

99 seconds. To select a time greater than one minute, enter the seconds too. (For example, to set a cooking time of 20 minutes, enter 2, 0, 0, 0.)

2.If you want to set the power level to a level other than High, press the Power Level button, and then use the number buttons to enter the power level.

3.Press the ENTER/START button to begin cooking. If you want to change the power level, press the STOP/ CLEAR button before you press the ENTER/START button, and then enter all the instructions again.

Some recipes require different cooking stages at different temperatures. Your microwave allows you to set multiple cooking stages.

Multi-stage cooking

1. Follow steps 1 and 2 from the “One-stage cooking” section.

When selecting more than one cooking stage, you must press the Power Level button before you can enter the second cooking stage.

Press the Power Level button twice to set the power level to High for a cooking stage.

2.Use the number buttons to set a second cooking time.

cookware guide

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

If you 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. If the dish is warm, then it is absorbing microwave energy and is not microwave-safe.

English - 18

Turning

Turn foods over midway through the cooking cycle to expose all parts to the 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 after the oven stops. Let foods stand to complete the cooking process, especially foods such as roasts and whole vegetables. Roasts need this time to complete cooking in the center without 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 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 evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food to help it cook.

Venting

After covering a dish with plastic wrap, vent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner to let excess steam escape.

COOKING MEAT

Place the meat fat side down on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish. Use narrow strips of aluminum foil to shield any bone tips or thin pieces of meat. Check the temperature in several places before letting the meat stand the recommended time.

The following temperatures are the removal temperatures. The temperature of the food will rise during standing time.

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 skins pierced in several spots before cooking to prevent them from bursting.

For a more even cooking result, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway through the cook time.

Generally, the denser the food, the longer the standing time. (The 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.

COOKING EGGS

You can use your microwave oven to cook eggs. Cook them until they are just set as they become tough if they are overcooked.

Never cook eggs in their shells and never warm

WARNING up hard-boiled eggs in their shells. Eggs cooked or warmed up in their shells can explode. Always

pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting.

COOKING VEGETABLES

Vegetables should be washed prior to cooking. Usually, no extra water is needed. When cooking dense vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and green beans, 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 halfway through the cooking process.

Always place vegetables such as asparagus and broccoli with the stems pointing towards the edge of the dish and

cleaning and maintaining your microwave oven

Keeping your microwave oven clean improves its performance, wards off unnecessary repairs, and lengthens its life.

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR

It’s best to clean spills on the outside of your microwave oven as they occur. Use a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry.

Do not get water into the vents. Never use abrasive

CAUTION products or chemical solvents such as ammonia or alcohol as they can damage the appearance of your

microwave.

Cleaning under your microwave oven

Regularly clean grease and dust from the bottom of your microwave using a solution of warm water and detergent.

Cleaning the control panel

Wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water, abrasives, or sharp objects on the panel as it is easily damaged.

Cleaning the door and door seals

Always ensure that the door seals are clean and that the door closes properly. Take particular care when cleaning the door seals to ensure that no particles accumulate and prevent the door from closing correctly. Wash the glass door with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft cloth to avoid scratching.

If a thin film of water accumulates on the inside or outside of the oven door, wipe it off with a soft cloth. A thin water film can accumulate when you operate the oven at high humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage.

CLEANING THE INTERIOR

Ensure that the microwave oven has cooled down CAUTION before cleaning it to avoid injury.

Remove the glass tray from the oven when cleaning

CAUTION the oven or tray. To prevent the tray from breaking, handle it with care and do not put it in water

immediately after cooking. Wash the tray carefully in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher.

Clean the interior surfaces (oven cavity) of your microwave oven periodically to remove any splashes or stains. To remove hardened food articles and remove smells, place 2 cups of water (add lemon juice for extra freshness) into a four-cup measuring glass. Run the microwave at High power for 5 minutes or until the water boils. Let water stand in the oven for one or two minutes.
