Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety
messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."
These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately
follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow
instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock,
fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave
energy:

[] Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn off
the pad and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric
shock.

m Read all instructions before using the microwave oven.

[] Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer's
recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.

m Read and follow the specific "PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY" found in this section.
m The microwave oven must be grounded. Connect only to
properly grounded outlet. See "GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS" found in this section.
m Install or locate the microwave oven only in accordance
with the provided Installation Instructions.
m Some products such as whole eggs in the shell and sealed
containers - for example, closed glass jars - may explode
and should not be heated in the microwave oven.
m Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as
described in this 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.
m Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not be
inserted in the microwave oven as they may create a fire or
risk of electric shock.

[] 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.
[] Do not deep fry in oven. Microwavable utensils are not
suitable and it is difficult to maintain appropriate deep frying
temperatures.
[] Do not use paper products when appliance is operated in
the "PAN BROWN" mode.
[] Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with metal
foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.
[] As with any appliance, close supervision

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

[] Do not store the microwave oven outdoors. Do not use this
product near water - for example, near a kitchen sink, in a
wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.
[] See door surface cleaning instructions in the "Oven Care"
section.
[] To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
- Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the microwave
oven if 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.

- Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
- Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

- If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door
closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or
shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

- After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven for a short time before removing the
container.

- Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave
paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity
when not in use.

- Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil
into the container.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Food Characteristics
When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting
temperature, composition and density of the food affect cooking
results.

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 redistribute 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, flat pieces of aluminum foil to shield the thin pieces of
irregularly shaped foods, bones and foods such as chicken wings,
leg tips and fish tails. See "Aluminum Foil and Metal" first.
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.

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.

Turntable On/Off
For best performance, the turntable should be on during
microwave cooking.

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.

If using oversized cookware that does not turn freely on the
microwave turntable, turn the turntable Off. To turn off the
turntable, touch TURNTABLE ON/OFF. When cooking with the
turntable off, food should be turned halfway through the cooking
process.

Starting Temperature
Room temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated foods,
and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods.

NOTE: The turntable cannot be turned off during any auto cooking
cycle.

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.
