ARCING

If you see arcing, press CLEAB/OFF and correct the problem.

Arcing is the inicrowa;'e term fl)r sparks in the oven.

Arcing is caused by:

• The metal shelf installed incorrect.Iv so it touches

the microwave wall.

• Metal or toil touching the side of the oven.

• Foil not molded to fi)od (upturned edges act

like antemms),

• Met;fl, such as twist-ties, poultI T pins or gold-

rimmed dishes, in the microwave.

• Recycled paper towels containing small metal

pieces being used in the microwave.

FOODS

• \4lien microwaving, place all fl>ods and

containei_ on the glass microwave turntable.

•SUPERHEATEDWATER

Liquids,such as water, coffee or tea are ableto

To reduce the risk at iqj mT to i)ei_ons:

-- Do not overheat the liquid.

-- Stir the liquid both before and halfway through

heating it.

-- Do not use straight-sided containei_ with

n}l ITOW necks.

--After heating, allow the container to stand in

the microwave oven for a short time before

removing the containei:

-- Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or

other utensil into the containei:

Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven

unless in a special microwave popcorn accessory

or unless you use popcorn labeled for use in

microwave ovens.

• Some products such as whole eggs and sealed

MICROWAVE-SAFECOOKWARE

Make sure to use suitable cookware during

IIIiCFOW;I*'ecooking. Most glass casseroles, cooking

dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, potmry or

china dim_erware which does not have metallic trim

or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some

cookware is labeled "suitable fin" microwaving."

• Place food or microwavable container directly

on tile glass turntable to cook w)ur food.

• Use of tile black metal tray during microwave

cooking will result in inferior cooking

pe_timnance.

1 cup of water--set tile meas/wing cup either in

or next to the dish. Microwave 30-45 seconds

at high. If the dish heats, it should not be used

for microwaving.

If the dish remains cool and only the water in

the cup heats, then the dish is microwave-sate.

• Oversized fi)od or oversized metal cookware

should not be used in a microwave/convection

oven because they increase the risk of electric

shock and could ca/Ise a fife.

• Sometimes tile oven floe,; turntable and walls

can becollle too hot to to/lch. Be caI'etill

touching tile flora; tm'ntable and walls dm_ing

can be used to cover dishes in order to retain

moisture and prevent spattering. Be sm'e to

vent plastic wrap so smam can escape.

• Cookware may become hot because of heat

transferred fl'om tile heated food. Pot holcle_

may be needed m handle tile cookware.

"Boilable" cooking i)ouches and tightly closed

plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as

directed by package. If they are not, plastic could

bm_t dm_ing or immediately after cooking,

possibly resulting in injtu T. Also, plastic storage

ADAPTERPLUGS

Usage situations where appliance's power cord will be disconnected infrequently.

Because of potential sali-w ha/m'ds under certain conditions,

we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug. Howevex;

if you still elect to use an adapter, where local codes pemfit, a

TEMPORARY CONNECTIONmay be inade to a propedy grounded

2-prong wall receptacle by the tlse of a UI, listed adapter which

is a\:filable at most local hardware stores.

Tile larger slot in tile adapter must be aligned with tile larger slot

in the wall receptacle to proxide proper polarit} in the com_ecfion

of the power cord.

TEMPORARY andfirmconnection

METHOD beforeuse.

A_ CAUTION: Attaching the adaptor ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground

the appliance unlessthe coverscrew is metal,and not insulated,and the wall receptacle is grounded throughthe

house wiring.

You should have tile drcuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sm'e tile receptacle is properly

gro/mded.

When disc(mnecting tile power cord ti'om tile adaptor; always hold tile adapter with (me hand. If this

is not done, tile adapter gro/md temfinal is ve_' likely to break with repeated use. Should this hal)pen,

DONOTUSEtile appliance until a proper ground has again been established.

Usage situations where appliance's power cord will be disconnected frequently.

Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because fl'equent disconnection of the power cord places

tmdue strain on tile adapter and leads to eventual fifilm'e of tile adapter grotmd tem/inal. You should have

tile 2-prong wall receptacle replaced with a 3-prong (gro/mding) receptacle by a qualified electrician

belin'e using tile appliance.

EXTENSIONCORDS

A short power sui)plv, cord is provided to reduce tile risks resulting, ti'om becoming, entangled, in or tfili) _ing,

over a hmger cord.

Extension cords may be used if w)u are carefifl in using them.

If an extensioncord is used--

_r_The marked electrical rating at the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical radng

DefrostingTips

•Foods fl'ozen in paper or plastic c:m be

defrosted in the package. Closed packages

should be slit, pierced or vented AFTER

filed has partially defrosted. Plastic storage

containers shoukl be l)artially tmcovered.

• Family-size, prepackaged fl'ozen climm_

toed is in a fifil containe_; transter it to a

microwave-sate dish.

• Foods that spoil easily should not be

alh)wed to sit out fi)r more than one hem"

after defl'osting. Room temperatm'e

promotes the gr(m_h of ham/tiff bacteria.

• For more e;'en defl'osfing of larger fi)ods,

such as roasts, use Auto Defrost. Be sm'e

large meats are completely defl'osted

befl)re cooking.

• When defl'osted, filed should be cool

but softened in all areas./t still slightly icy,

return to the microwave ve_y briefly, or

let it stand a tew minutes.

Auto Defrost

Use AutoDefrostfi>r meat, poultr)and fish.

About the convection features, gecom

Convection cooking uses a heating element to raise the temperature of the air inside the

oven. Any oven temperature fl'om 250°F to 450°F may be set, in increments ofB°E A tim

gently circulates this heated air throughout the oven, over and around the tood, producing

golden brown exterio_ and rich, moist interio_.

Because the heated air is kept constantly moving, not pemfitting a layer ot cooler air

to develop aromld the tood, some toods cook fi_ster than in regular oven cooking.

Cookwam@s.

Convection Cooking

Metal Pans are recmmnended for all types ot baked products, but especially where

browning or c_ usting is important.

Dark or dull finish metal pans are best t0r breads and pies because they absorb heat

and produce crisper c_ust.

Shiny almninmn pans are better fl)r cakes, cookies or muffins because these pans

reflect heat and help produce a light tender crust.

Glass or Glass-Ceramic casserole or baking dishes are best suited tot egg and cheese

recipes due to the cleanability of glass.

CombinationCooking

Glass or Glass-Ceramic baking containers are recommended. Be sure not to use

items with metal trim as it may cause arcing (sparking) with oven wall or oven shelf,

damaging the cookware, the shelf or the oven.

Heat-Resistmat Plastic microwave cookware (sati _ to 450°F) may be used, but it is not

recommended for toods requiring ClUsting or all-around browning, because the

plastic is a poor cond/ictor of heat.
