MICROWAVE OVEN SAFETY

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

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.

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.

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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

wWARNING

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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

wWARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install microwave oven.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

9. Plug in microwave oven or reconnect power.

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.

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.

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.

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 JET START™ feature while the oven is operating or after the cooking cycle is over (see the “Using JET START™ feature” section).

• To help make sure the food is evenly cooked, stir, turn over, or rearrange the food about

halfway through the cooking time.

• 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 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 in. (6.35 to 12.7 mm) to vent steam during heating or cooking.

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.

HOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN WORKS

• 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.

RADIO INTERFERENCE

TESTING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

2 minutes. When the time is up, the water should be heated.

To test the oven, put 1 cup (250 mL) of cold water in a glass container in the oven. Close the door. Make sure it latches. Cook at 100% power for

Magnetron

Oven cavity

Metal floor Glass turntable

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

TESTING YOUR DINNERWARE OR COOKWARE

Test dinnerware or cookware before using.

To test a dish, put it into the oven with 1 cup (250 mL) 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, and may become too hot to handle or may slow 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).

OPERATING TIPS

• 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 3⁄16 in. (5 mm) above the turntable. Follow the directions supplied with the browning dish.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

• 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 damage 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.
