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.
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:
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.
Improper use of the
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.
A -
‘A’L\ .7 z I I z
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.
8
----_I-
Oven
cavity
Mixing
antenna
_.--.-.
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.
9
For the best cooking results
l Always cook food for the shortest cooking l If you do not have a cover for a dish, use
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
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.
“Using add minute” section).
l 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.
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:
l Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces
of the oven.
l Adjusting the receiving antenna of the
radio or television.
l Moving the receiver away from the
microwave oven.
l 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
I
the directions in the “Cooking
El
to set the oven to cook for 2 minutes. When
the time is up, the water should be heated.
at high cook power” section
10
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 damage 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
one minute before cutting into them.
allow
a standing time of
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
11
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.
