as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the filter.

- SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS -

PRECAUTIONSTOAVOID

POSSIBLEEXPOSURETO

EXCESSIVEMICROWAVEENERGY...

(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven

with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful

exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with

the safety interlocks.

(b) Do not place any object between the

oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate

on sealing surfaces.

damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close properly and

that there is no damage to the: (1) Door (bent),

(2) Hinges and latches (broken

or loosened),

(3) Door seals and sealing surfaces.

(d) The oven should not be adjusted or

repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

Electrical requirements

Observe all governing codes and ordinances, A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp fused

electrical supply is required. (A time-delay fuse is recommended.) It is recommended

that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions

can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

GROUNDINGINSTRUCTIONS

For all cord connected appliances:

The microwave oven 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 electric

current. The microwave 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.

WARNING: Improper use of the

grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician or service- man if the grounding instructions are not

completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the microwave oven is properly

grounded.

Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified

electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the microwave oven.

For a permanently connected appliance:

This appliance must be connected to a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring

system, or an equipment grounding con- ductor should be run with the circuit

conductors and connected to the equip- ment grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.

Getting to Know Your

Microwave Oven

This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows you the basics

you need to know to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information before you use your oven.

Explosion Hazard

Do not store flammable materials such as gasoline near the microwave oven.

Doing so can result in death, explosion, fire, or burns.

How your microwave oven works

Microwave ovens are safe. Microwave

energy is not hot. It causes food to make its own heat, and it's this heat that cooks

the food.

Microwaves are like TV waves or light

waves. You cannot see them, but you can

see what they do.

A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves. The microwaves

move into the oven where they contact food.

Oven cavity

Mixing antenna

/ I

Magnetron

Microwaves pass through most glass,

paper, and plastics without heating them so food absorbs the energy. Microwaves

bounce off metal containers so food does not absorb the energy.

Microwaves may not reach the center of a roast. The heat spreads to the center from

the outer, cooked areas just as in regular

oven cooking. This is one of the reasons for letting some foods (for example, roasts

or baked potatoes) stand for a while after cooking, or for stirring some foods during the cooking time.

The microwaves disturb water molecules

in the food. As the molecules bounce around

bumping into each other, heat is made, like

rubbing your hands together. This is the heat that does the cooking.

NOTE: Do not deep fry in the oven.

Microwavable cookware is not suitable and it is difficult to maintain appropriate deep

frying temperatures.

fi '|

For the best cooking results

• Always cook food for the shortest cooking

time recommended. Check to see how the food is cooking. If needed, touch the add

minute pad while the oven is operating or after the cooking cycle is over (see the

"Using add minute" section).

• Stir, turn over, or rearrange the food being cooked about halfway through the cooking

time for all recipes. This will help make sure the food is evenly cooked.

• If you do not have a cover for a dish, use wax paper, or microwave-approved paper

towels or plastic wrap. Remember to turn

back a corner of the plastic wrap to vent steam during cooking.

Radio interference

Using your microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV, or similar

equipment. When there is interference, you can reduce it or remove it by:

• Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces of the oven.

• Adjusting the receiving antenna of the radio or television.

• Moving the receiver away from the microwave oven.

• Plugging the microwave oven into a different outlet so that the microwave

oven and receiver are on different

branch circuits.

Testing your microwave oven

To test the oven put about 1 cup of cold

water in a glass container in the oven. Close the door.

Make sure it latches. Follow the directions in the "Cooking

at high cook power" section

to set the oven to cook for 2 minutes. When the time is up, the water should be heated.

Testing your dinnerware or cookware

Test dinnerware or cookware before using.

To test a dish for safe use, put it into the oven with a cup of water beside it. Cook at 100%

cook power for one minute. If the dish gets

hot and water stays cool, do not use it.

Some dishes (melamine, some ceramic dinnerware, etc.) absorb microwave energy,

becoming too hot to handle and slowing cooking times. Cooking in metal containers

not designed for microwave use could dam-

age the oven, as could containers with hidden metal (twist-ties, foil lining, staples, metallic

glaze or trim).

Operating safety precautions

Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside

the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may

cause them to burst and burn you, and

possibly damage the oven. Slice hard-boiled eggs before heating. In rare cases, poached eggs have been known to explode. Cover

poached eggs and allow a standing time of one minute before cutting into them.

For best results, stir any liquid several times before heating or reheating. Liquids

heated in certain containers (especially containers shaped like cylinders) may

become overheated. The liquid may splash out with a loud noise during or after heating

or when adding ingredients (coffee granules, tea bags, etc.). This can harm the oven and

possibly injure someone.

Never pull on the door or allow a child to swing on it when the door is open. Injury could result.

Stir before heating

continued on next page

Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not

heat containers, but heat from the food can make the container hot.

Do not overcook potatoes. Fire could result.

At the end of the recommended cooking time,

potatoes should be slightly firm because they

will continue cooking during standing time.

After microwaving, wrap potatoes in foil and

set aside for 5 minutes. They will finish

cooking while standing.

Do not start a microwave oven when it is empty. Product life may be shortened.

If you practice programming the oven,

put a container of water in the oven.

It is normal for the oven door to look wavy

after the oven has been running for a while.

Do not use newspaper or other printed paper in the oven. Fire could result.

Do not dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood,

paper, gourds, or clothes in the oven.

Fire could result.

Electrical connection

If your electric power line or outlet voltage is less than 110 volts, cooking times

may be longer. Have a qualified electrician check your electrical system.
