Important Safety Instructions
Grounding
Adapter Plugs
Instructions
WARNING CAUTION
To avoid risk of electrical shock or death, this oven
must be grounded and plug must not be altered.
Oven MUST be grounded.
Grounding reduces risk of electric
shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current if an
electrical short occurs. This 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. See Installation
Instructions.
Consult a qualied electrician or servicer if grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the oven is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the product power cord
is too short, have a qualied electrician install a three-slot
receptacle. This oven should be plugged into a separate
60 hertz circuit with the electrical ratting as shown in
specications table. When the oven is on a circuit with
other equipment, an increase in cooking times may be
required and fuses can be blown.
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall
receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance
unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated,
and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house
wiring.
Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be
disconnected infrequently:
Because of potential safety hazards, we strongly
recommend against the use of an adapter plug. If
you still choose to use an adapter (where local codes
permit), a temporary connection can be made to a
properly grounded 2-prong wall receptacle using a UL
listed adapter, available at most hardware stores.
Have the circuit checked by a qualied electrician to make
sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter,
always hold the adapter with one hand. Otherwise, the
adapter ground terminal may break with repeated use.
Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a
proper ground has again been established.
Microwave operates on standard household current,
110-120V.
Arcing
If you see arcing, press STOP and correct the problem.
Arcing is the term for sparks in your microwave oven.
Arcing is caused by:
• Incorrect installation of the metal shelf so that it is
touching the microwave wall.
• Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
• Use of foil which is not molded to the food. (The edges
act as antennas).
• Other metals, such a twist ties, poultry pins or
metallicrimmed dishes, in the microwave.
• Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces
used in the oven.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be
disconnected frequently:
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations. Frequent
disconnection of the power cord places undue strain on
the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter
ground terminal. Have a qualied electrician replace
the 2-prong wall receptacle with a 3-prong (grounding)
receptacle before using the appliance.

process. The microwave oven sensor will automatically
adjust the cooking time to the type and amount of food. The
food categories that are controlled with the humidity sensor
are::
• Frozen Entree
• Meat
• Seafood
• Bacon
For best results, do not use one of the Sensor Cook
categories twice in succession on the same food portion.
This may result in severely overcooked or burnt food. If the
food appears to be undercooked, use one of the Easy Set
pads or cook time pads to add more time.
Additional sensor cook suggestions are:
• Never start with less than 4 oz. of food.
• Use proper containers and covers for best sensor cooking
results.
• Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them
with loose tting lids or vented plastic wrap. Never use
tight sealing plastic containers. They will prevent steam
from escaping and this will mislead the sensor, usually
causing the food to overcook.
Be sure the outside of the cooking containers and the cavity
of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the
oven. Excessive moisture turning into steam that does not
result from the food cooking can mislead the sensor.

the best results
To help you achieve the best possible results from your
microwave oven, read the following suggestions below;
Storage temperature
Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer
to cook than the same foods would at room temperature.
Size
Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones. Pieces
similar in size and shape will cook more evenly when
cooked together. For more even results, reduce the
power levels when cooking large pieces of food.
Natural moisture
Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave
energy heats water molecules very e
Stirring
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetable from the
outside to the center to distribute the heat more evenly.
This will allow the food to cook faster. Constant stirring is
not necessary.
Turn over items
Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts or whole
ower halfway through the cook time. This will help
cau
to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.
Food placement
Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus
tips, toward the center of the turntable tray.
Food arrangement
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces
or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts toward the
outside of the turntable tray.

Let the food stand
After removing the food from the microwave, cover the
food with foil or a casserole lid and let it stand to

avoids overcooking the out edges. The length of stand
time depends on the density and surface area of the
food items.
Wrapping in paper towels or waxed paper
Sandwiches and many other food types containing prebaked bread should be wrapped prior to placing in the
microwave to help prevent the food items fro drying out
while heating.

Defrosting tips
When using the defrost weight feature, the weight
entered should always be 0.5 to 6.5 pounds.
Use both defrost weight and defrost time features for
raw food items only. Defrosting gives best results when
food to be thawed is a minimum of 0°F (taken directly
from a true freezer). If the food has been stored in a
refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a temperature
of 5° F or below, always program a lower food weight or
lower cook time to prevent cooking the food.
If the frozen food is store

• Wash the oven door window with very mild soap
and water. Be sure to use a soft clean cloth to avoid
scratching.
• If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe
with a soft cloth. Steam can accumulate when operating
the oven in high humidity and in no way indicates
microwave leakage.
• Never operate the oven without food in the oven cavity;
this can damage the magnetron tube or glass tray. You
may wish to leave a cup of water standing inside the oven
when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is
accidentally turned on.
• To help loosen baked-on food particles or liquids, heat 2
cups of water (add the juice of 1 lemon if you desire to
keep the oven fresh smelling) in a 4 cup measuring glass
at High power for 5 minutes or until boiling. Let stand in
oven cavity for 1 or 2 minutes.
• Remove the glass turntable tray from the oven when
cleaning the oven cavity or tray. To prevent the glass
turntable from breaking, handle with care and do not put
it in water immediately after cooking. Wash the turntable
tray in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher.
• Clean the outside surface of the microwave with soap and
a clean damp cloth. Dry with a clean soft cloth. To prevent
damage to the operating parts of the oven, do not let
water seep into any vents or openings.
