MICROWAVE OVEN USE
A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves which
refl ect off the metal fl 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 w
ater molecules in the food, causing them to move, producing
friction and heat which cooks the food.
n To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not lean on or
allow children to swing on the microwave oven door.
n To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not operate
microwave oven when it is empty.
n 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.
n Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in
microwave oven.
n Clothes, fl owers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, and paper,
including brown paper bags and newspaper, should not
be dried in the microwave oven.
n Paraffi n wax will not melt in the microwave oven because
it does not absorb microwaves.
n Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from
microwave oven.
n Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended
cook time, potatoes should be slightly fi rm. Let potatoes stand
for 5 minutes. They will fi nish cooking while standing.
n 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 the microwave oven is cooking, the amount, size and shape,
starting temperature, composition and density of the food affect
cooking results.
Amount of Food
The more food that is heated at once, the longer the cook time
that is needed. Check for doneness and add small increments of
time, if necessary.
The Control Lock shuts down the control panel keypads to avoid
ontrol Loc
unintended use of the microwave oven. The Control Lock will
remain set after a power failure, if set before the power failure
occurs.
When the control is locked, only the fan and light will function.
The Control Lock is preset unlocked, but can be locked.
To Lock Control: Touch CANCEL for approximately 3 seconds,
until two tones sound and a
To Unlock Control: Repeat to unlock. Two tones will sound and

the
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.
icon appears in the display.
8
Shielding
Use small, fl at pieces of aluminum foil to shield the thin pieces of
irregularly shaped foods, bones, and foods such as chicken wings,
leg tips, and fi sh tails. See the “Aluminum Foil and Metal” section
fi 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.
Cookware and Dinnerware
Cookware and dinnerware must fi t 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.

If you experience Recommended Solutions
Microwave oven will
not operate
Check the following:
n 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.
n 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.
n Door: Firmly close door. On some models, if a packaging spacer is attached to inside of the door, remove it,
then fi 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.
n Control: Make sure control is set properly. Make sure Control Lock is off. Make sure Demo mode (on some
models) is off.

Check the following:
n Soil buildup: Soil buildup on cavity walls, microwave inlet cover, cooking rack supports, and area where the
door touches the frame can cause arcing. See “General Cleaning” in the “Microwave Oven Care” section.
n This is normal and depends on motor rotation at the beginning of the cycle.
n “Enter clock” with fl ashing digits means there has been a power failure. Reset the clock.
n A letter followed by a number is an error indicator. Call for assistance.
n 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:
n Proximity: Move the receiver away from the microwave oven, or adjust the radio or TV antenna.
n Soil: Make sure the microwave oven door and sealing surfaces are clean.
n 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.
