MICROWAVE OVEN SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or

“WARNING.” These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

You follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can

happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock,

fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

■ Read all instructions before using the microwave oven.

■ Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID

POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” found in this section.

■ The microwave oven must be grounded. Connect only to

properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found in this section.

■ Install or locate the microwave oven only in accordance

with the provided Installation Instructions.

■ Some products such as whole eggs in the shell and sealed

containers – for example, closed glass jars – may explode and should not be heated in the microwave oven.

■ Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as

described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in the microwave oven. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.

■ Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not be

inserted in the microwave oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.

■ Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn off

the pad and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric shock.

■ Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer's

recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.

■ Do not operate the microwave oven if it has a damaged

cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.

■ Do not deep fry in oven. Microwavable utensils are not

suitable and it is difficult to maintain appropriate deep frying temperatures.

■ Do not use paper products when appliance is operated in

the “PAN BROWN” mode.

■ Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with metal

foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.

■ As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary

when used by children.

■ The microwave oven should be serviced only by qualified

service personnel. Contact nearest authorized service company for examination, repair, or adjustment.

■ Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave

oven.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

■ Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be

overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not 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: – Do not overheat the liquid. – Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it. – Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks. – After heating, allow the container to stand in the

microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.

– Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil

into the container.

■ Do not store the microwave oven outdoors. Do not use this

product near water - for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.

■ See door surface cleaning instructions in the “Oven Care”

section.

■ To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

– Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the microwave

oven if paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

– Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before

placing bags in oven.

– If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door

closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

– Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave

paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

(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.

Electrical Requirements

The microwave oven is connected to a 110 volt side of the 240 volt circuit required for the lower oven. If the incoming voltage to the microwave oven is less than 110 volts cooking times may be longer. Have a qualified electrician check your electrical system.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For a permanently connected microwave oven:

The microwave oven must be connected to a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor should be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the microwave oven.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This device complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules.

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.

The turntable rotates in both directions to help cook food more evenly. For best cooking results, do not operate the microwave oven without having the turntable in place. See “Assistance or Service” to reorder any of the parts.

The raised, curved lines in the center of the turntable bottom fit between the 3 spokes of the hub. The hub turns the turntable during microwave oven use. The rollers on the support should fit inside the turntable bottom ridge.

when handling.

■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow the

grids to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling or floor.

■ Always use the turntable.

■ Do not store the grids in the oven. Damage to the oven could

result if someone unintentionally turns on the microwave oven.

■ Do not use another metal object with the grids.

■ Two-level cooking is not recommended.

■ For best results, do not place popcorn bags on the grids.

■ The grids are designed specifically for this oven. For best

cooking results, do not attempt to use any other rack in this oven.

■ See “Assistance or Service” section to reorder.

Broiling Grid (long legs)

The broiling grid places food close to the broil element, making it ideal for fast browning of small amounts of food. Use for broiling only.

Convection Grid (short legs)

The convection grid provides optimal heat circulation for highspeed cooking and convection cooking.

Crisper Pan and Handle

The crisper pan, with its nonstick surface and detachable handle, has been specifically designed for microwave use, and is ideal for pan-frying (pan-browning) foods in the microwave oven.

■ The crisper pan will become hot. Always use the handle and

oven mitts or pot holders when handling. Place gripping end on the edge of pan, squeeze handle, and lift pan.

■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow the

crisper pan or handle to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling or floor.

■ Do not place crisper pan on the convection grid. Always use

the turntable as a support for the crisper pan.

■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not use another

metal object with the crisper pan.

■ To avoid damage, do not place hot Crisper Pan directly on

heat sensitive surfaces.

■ The crisper pan is designed specifically for this oven. Do not

use it in any other oven.

■ Use only wooden or plastic cooking utensils to help avoid

scratches.

MICROWAVE OVEN USE

A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves which reflect off the metal floor, walls and ceiling and pass through the turntable and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are attracted to and absorbed by fat, sugar and water molecules in the food, causing them to move, producing friction and heat which cooks the food.

■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not lean on or

allow children to swing on the microwave oven door.

■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not operate

when it is empty.

■ Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in

microwave oven.

■ Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including

brown paper bags and newspaper, should not be dried in microwave oven.

■ Paraffin wax will not melt in the microwave oven because it

does not absorb microwaves.

■ Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from

microwave oven.

■ Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended

cook time, potatoes should be slightly firm. Let potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.

■ Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam

buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst, requiring significant cleanup of microwave oven cavity. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time.

Food Characteristics

When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting temperature, composition and density of the food affect cooking results.

Amount of Food

The more food heated at once, the longer the cook time needed. Check for doneness and add small increments of time if necessary.

Size and Shape

Smaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger pieces, and uniformly shaped foods cook more evenly than irregularly shaped food.

Starting Temperature

Room temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated foods, and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods.

Composition and Density

Foods high in fat and sugar will reach a higher temperature, and will heat faster than other foods. Heavy, dense foods, such as meat and potatoes, require a longer cook time than the same size of a light, porous food, such as cake.

Cooking Guidelines

Covering

Covering food helps retain moisture, shorten cook time and reduce spattering. Use the lid supplied with cookware. If a lid is not available, wax paper, paper towels or plastic wrap approved for microwave ovens may be used. Plastic wrap should be turned back at one corner to provide an opening to vent steam. Condensation on the door and cavity surfaces is normal during heavy cooking.

Stirring and Turning

Stirring and turning redistribute heat evenly to avoid overcooking the outer edges of food. Stir from outside to center. If possible, turn food over from bottom to top.

Arranging

If heating irregularly shaped or different sized foods, arrange the thinner parts and smaller sized items toward the center. If cooking several items of the same size and shape, place them in a ring pattern, leaving the center of the ring empty.

Piercing

Before heating, use a fork or small knife to pierce or prick foods that have a skin or membrane, such as potatoes, egg yolks, chicken livers, hot dogs, and sausage. Prick in several places to allow steam to vent.

Shielding

Use small, flat pieces of aluminum foil to shield the thin pieces of irregularly shaped foods, bones and foods such as chicken wings, leg tips and fish tail. See “Aluminum Foil and Metal” first.

Standing Time

Food will continue to cook by the natural conduction of heat even after the microwave cooking cycle ends. The length of standing time depends on the volume and density of the food.

■ Always use the turntable.

■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow

contact with another metal object during microwave cooking.

Cookware and Dinnerware

Cookware and dinnerware must fit on the turntable. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling because any dish may become hot from heat transferred from the food. Do not use cookware and dinnerware with gold or silver trim. Use the following chart as a guide, then test before using.

To Test Cookware or Dinnerware for Microwave Use:

1. Place cookware or dinnerware in microwave oven with

1 cup (250 mL) of water beside it.

2. Cook at 100% cooking power for 1 minute. Do not use cookware or dinnerware if it becomes hot and the

water stays cool.

Aluminum Foil and Metal

Always use oven mitts or pot holders when removing dishes from the microwave oven.

Aluminum foil and some metal can be used in the microwave oven. If not used properly, arcing (a blue flash of light) can occur and cause damage to the microwave oven.

Do Not Use

Metal cookware and bakeware, gold, silver, pewter, nonapproved meat thermometers, skewers, twist ties, foil liners such as sandwich wrappers, staples and objects with gold or silver trim or a metallic glaze should not be used in the microwave oven.

Microwave Cooking Power

Many recipes for microwave cooking specify which cooking power to use by percent, name or number. For example, 70%=7=Medium-High.

Use the following chart as a general guide for the suggested cooking power of specific foods.

PERCENT/NAME NUMBER USE
