Observe all governing codes and ordinances. A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only,

15 or 20 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.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

,, 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 plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions

are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the microwave oven

is properly grounded.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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:

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.

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.

!iilii, iiiiiiiii , O i,,,!iiiiiiiii......

Using your microwave oven may cause

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, radio 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 as it turns on the turntable.

The glass turntable of your microwave oven lets microwaves pass through. Then

they bounce off a metal floor, back through the glass turntable, and are absorbed by the

food.

Magnetron

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.

Metal floor Glass turntable

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.

• Always cook food for the shortest cooking time recommended. Check to see

how the food is cooking. If needed, touch ADD MINUTE 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.

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. Cook at 100% power for 2 minutes. When the

time is up, the water should be heated.

.........iil , iiliiiiiliii j!!!iiii iiiiiii.....

iil;;iiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiii 'iii!ii iiii; iii!l ,iliiiiii !iii !i iiii.....

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 damage the oven, as could containers with hidden metal (twist-ties, foil lining,

staples, metallic glaze or trim).

• Never lean on the door or allow a child to swing on it when the door is open.

• Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heat containers, but the heat from the food can make the container hot.

• Do not use newspaper or other printed paper in the oven.

• Do not dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, paper, gourds, or clothes in the oven.

• 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 try to melt paraffin wax in the oven. Paraffin wax will not melt in a

microwave oven because it allows microwaves to pass through it.

• Do not operate the microwave oven unless the glass turntable is securely in

place and can rotate freely. The turntable can rotate in either direction. Make sure

the turntable is correct-side up in the

oven. Handle your turntable with care when removing it from the oven to avoid

possibly breaking it. If your turntable cracks or breaks, contact your dealer for a

replacement.

• When you use a browning dish, the browning dish bottom must be at least _0 inch above the turntable. Follow the direc-

tions supplied with the browning dish.

• Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside the shell. Steam buildup in whole

eggs may cause them to burst, 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 during 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.

• 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.

• Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable utensils are not suitable and

it is difficult to maintain appropriate deep- frying temperatures.

• Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of

the recommended cooking time, potatoes

should be slightly firm because they will continue cooking during standing time.

After microwaving, let potatoes stand for

5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.

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.

• When using DEFROST, the weight to be

entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds (the weight of the food minus the container).

• Before starting, make sure you have

removed any of the metal twist-ties which often come with frozen food bags, and replace them with strings or elastic bands.

• Open containers such as cartons before

they are placed in the oven.

• Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or

packaging.

• If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and

place it in a suitable container.

• Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as

sausage.

• Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure

even defrosting.

• Always underestimate defrosting time. If

defrosted food is still icy in the center, return it to the microwave oven for more

defrosting.

• The length of defrosting time varies

according to how solidly the food is frozen.

• The shape of the package affects how

quickly food will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than a

deep block.

• As food begins to defrost, separate the

pieces. Separated pieces defrost more easily.

• Use small pieces of aluminum foil to

shield parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails, or areas that start

to get warm. Make sure the foil does not touch the sides, top, or bottom of the

oven. The foil can damage the oven lining.

• For better results, let food stand after

defrosting. (For more information on standing time, see "Microwave cooking

tips" in the "Cooking Guide" section.)

• Turn over food during defrosting or stand-

ing time. Break apart and remove food as required.
