short power-supply cord. See the separate Installation
Instructions for directions on properly placing the cord.

pounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for
example 4 ounces equals 1/4 pound).
However, in order to enter food weight in EXPRESS
DEFROST, you must specify pounds and tenths of a
pound. If the weight on the food package is in
fractions of a pound, you can use the following chart
to convert the weight to decimals.

EXPRESS DEFROST
Your microwave oven is preset with three defrost
sequences. Using EXPRESS DEFROST is the best
way to defrost frozen foods. The Express Defrost
Sequence Table below provides some basic
guidelines for using the three defrost sequences.
Example: To defrost 1.2 lbs of ground beef.
1. Touch STOP/CLEAR.
2. Touch EXPRESS DEFROST.
3. Choose food category.
Meat
Touch pad
number
Poultry
Fish
Category
4. Enter the weight.
5. Touch START.
6. After 1/3 of the defrost time is
over, The display will prompt
you to turn over food. Open
door, turn over food, and
shield any warm portions.
7. Close the door and restart.
8. After 2/3 of the defrost time is
over, the display will prompt you
to turn over food. Repeat steps
6 and 7. When the defrost time
is over, you will hear four beeps
and END will display.
NOTE: If you do not open the
door, the display will
resume the countdown.
DEFROSTING TIPS
• When using EXPRESS DEFROST, the weight to
be entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths
of pounds (the weight of the food minus the
container).
• Only use EXPRESS DEFROST for raw food.
EXPRESS DEFROST gives best results when food
to be thawed is a minimum of 0°F (taken directly
from a “true” freezer). If 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 (for a shorter defrosting time) to
prevent cooking the food.
• If the food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20
minutes, enter a lower food weight.
• The shape of the package alters the defrosting
time. Shallow rectangular packets defrost more
quickly than a deep block.
• Separate pieces as they begin to defrost.
Separated pieces defrost more easily.
• You can use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield
foods like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails, but
the foil must not touch the side of the oven. Foil
can damage the oven lining.
• Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they
start to become warm.
• For better results, a preset standing time is
included in the defrosting time.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q. Can I use a rack in my microwave oven so that I
may reheat or cook in two levels at a time?
A. Only use the rack that is supplied with your
microwave oven. Use of any other rack can result in
poor cooking performance and/or arcing and may
damage your oven.
Q. Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my
microwave oven?
A. Usable metal includes aluminum foil for shielding
(use small, flat pieces), and shallow foil trays (if tray
is 3/4 inch deep and filled with food to absorb
microwave energy). Never allow metal to touch
walls or door.
Q. Sometimes the door of my microwave oven
appears wavy. Is this normal?
A. This appearance is normal and does not affect the
operation of your oven.
Q. What are the humming noises that I hear when
my microwave oven is operating?
A. You hear the sound of the transformer when the
magnetron tube cycles on and off.
Q. Why does the dish become hot when I
microwave food in it? I thought that this should
not happen.
A. As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to
the dish. Use hot pads to remove food after
cooking.
4. Lift up the bulb holder.
Q. What does “standing time” mean?
A. ”Standing time” means that food should be taken
out of the oven and covered for additional time after
cooking. This process allows the cooking to finish,
saves energy and frees the oven for other purpose.
Q. Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven? How
do I get the best results?
A. Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following
manufacturer’s guidelines or use the
preprogrammed Popcorn pad.
Do not use regular paper bags. Use the “listening
test” by stopping the oven as soon as the popping
slows to a “pop” every one or two seconds. Do not
try to repop unpopped kernels. You can also use
special microwave poppers. When using a popper,
be sure to follow manufacturer’s directions. Do not
pop popcorn in glass utensils.
5. Replace bulb with a 30 or 40 watt appliance bulb.
6. Replace the bulb holder.
7. Slide the top of the vent cover into place. Push the
bottom until it snaps into place. Replace the
mounting screws. Turn the power back on at the
main power supply.
Q. Why does steam come out of the air exhaust
vent?
A. Steam is normally produced during cooking. The
microwave oven has been designed to vent this
steam out the top vent.

MAINTENANCE
You may microwave in many more utensils than you can use on the stove or in a conventional oven, because
microwaves penetrate them safely still cooking the food.
Below are listed the utensils you can safely cook with and those you must avoid. To test whether you can safely
with a utensil not on the lists below, do the following:
1. Place the utensil empty in the microwave oven.
2. Measure 1 cup of water in a glass measuring cup and place in the oven beside the utensil.
3. Microwave on HI Power for 1 minute.
4. If the utensil is warm to the touch at the end of this time, you should not use it for microwave cooking.
MICROWAVE UTENSIL GUIDE
USE
OVENPROOF GLASS (treated for high
intensity heat):
utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates,
cake plates, liquid measuring cups,
casseroles and bowls without metallic
trim.
CHINA:
bowls, cups, serving plates and platters
without metallic trim.
PLASTIC:
Plastic wrap (as a cover)-- lay the plastic
wrap loosely over the dish and press it to
the sides.
Vent plastic wrap by turning back one
edge slightly to allow excess steam to
escape. The dish should be deep
enough so that the plastic wrap will not
touch the food. As the food heats it may
melt the plastic wrap wherever the wrap
touches the food.
Use plastic dishes, cups,
semirigid freezer containers and plastic
bags only for short cooking time. Use
these with care because the plastic
may soften from the heat of the food.
PAPER:
Paper towels, waxed paper, paper
napkins and paper plates with no
metallic trim or design. Look for the
manufacturer's label for use in the
microwave oven.
DO NOT USE
METAL UTENSILS:
Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces
uneven cooking. Also avoid metal skewers, thermometers or foil
trays.Metal utensils can cause arcing, which can damage your
microwave oven.
METAL DECORATION:
Metal-trimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes,
etc. The metal trim interferes with normal cooking and may
damage the oven.
ALUMINUM FOIL:
Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking
and may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield
poultry legs and wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch
from the side walls and door of the oven.
WOOD:
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack
when you use them in the microwave oven. Baskets react in the
same way.
TIGHTLY COVERED UTENSILS:
Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered
utensils. Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items
before cooking. Tightly closed pouches could explode.
BROWN PAPER:
Avoid using brown paper bags.
They absorb too much heat and could burn.
FLAWED OR CHIPPED UTENSILS:
Any utensil that is cracked, flawed or chipped may break in the
oven.
METAL TWIST TIES:
Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags.
They become hot and could cause a fire.
