described in the 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.
■
As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary
when used by children.
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.
■ The microwave oven should be serviced only by
qualified service personnel. Call an authorized service
company for examination, repair, or adjustment.
■
Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave
oven.
Do not store this microwave oven outdoors. Do not
■
use the microwave oven near water - for example,
near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a
swimming pool, or similar locations.
Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
■
■
Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
■
■
See door surface cleaning instructions in the
“Microwave Oven Care” section.
■
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
– Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the
microwave oven when 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 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.
■
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.

MICROWAVE OVEN USE
A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves which
reect off the metal oor, 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
■
microwave oven when it is empty.
■
The turntable must be in place and correct side up when
microwave oven is in use. Do not use if turntable is chipped
or broken. See the “Accessories” section to reorder.
Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in
■
microwave oven.
■
Clothes, owers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, and paper,
including brown paper bags and newspaper, should not be
dried in the microwave oven.
■ Parafn 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 rm. Let potatoes
stand for 5 minutes. They will nish cooking while standing.
Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam
■
buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst. 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 redistributes 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, at pieces of aluminum foil to shield the thin pieces
of irregularly shaped foods, bones, and foods such as chicken
wings, leg tips, and sh tails. See the “Aluminum Foil and Metal”
section rst.
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.

Times and cooking powers have been preset for reheating a
number of food types.

Check the following:
Household fuse or circuit breaker: If a household fuse has blown or a circuit breaker has tripped,
■
replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.
■
Magnetron: Try to heat 1 cup (250 mL) of cold water for 2 minutes at 100% cooking power. If water
does not heat, try the steps in the bullets below. If microwave oven still does not operate, call for
service.
■ Door: Firmly close door. On some models, if a packaging spacer is attached to inside of the door,
remove it, then rmly close door.
If a message about the door appears in the display, the door has been closed for 5 minutes or more
without the microwave oven being started. This occurs to avoid unintended starting of the microwave
oven. Open and close the door, then start the cycle.
■ Control: Make sure control is set properly. Make sure Control Lock is off. Make sure Demo mode
(onsome models) is off.
Check the following:
■
Soil buildup: Soil buildup on cavity walls, microwave inlet cover, and area where the door touches the
frame can cause arcing. See “General Cleaning” in the “Microwave Oven Care” section.
This is normal and depends on motor rotation at the beginning of the cycle.
■
■ “Enter clock” with ashing digits means there has been a power failure. Reset the clock.
■
A letter followed by a number is an error indicator. Call for assistance.
This is normal. The microwave oven’s cooling fan, which is separate from the vent fan, automatically
■
comes on during microwave oven operation to cool the microwave oven. It may also automatically come
on and cycle on and off to cool the microwave oven’s controls while the cooktop below is being used.
Check the following:
■
Proximity: Move the receiver away from the microwave oven, or adjust the radio or TV antenna.
Soil: Make sure the microwave oven door and sealing surfaces are clean.
■
Frequency: Some 2.4 GHz-based cordless phones and home wireless networks may experience static
■
or noise while microwave oven is on. Use a corded phone, a different frequency cordless phone, or
avoid using these items during microwave oven operation.
■ This is normal for the rst few crisp/brown cycles. The odor will dissipate with repeated use.
This is not unusual. See “Grill Element” in the “Features” section.
■
■
Is the element still working properly?
Place 2 slices of bread on the tall grill rack, place the rack on the turntable and close the door. Program
the microwave oven using manual grill - without microwave - for 10 minutes. The bread should toast
dark brown. If it does not toast, call for service.
