PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE
TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
• Do not attempt to operate this oven with
the door open, since open-door operation can
result in harmful exposure to microwave
energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper
with the safety interlocks.

• Do not place any object between the oven
front face and the door, or allow soil or
cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing
surfaces.

GROUNDING
This appliance must be grounded. In the event
of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces
the risk of electric shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire
and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded.

• Do not operate the oven if it is damaged.
It is particularly important that the oven door
closes properly and that there is no damage to
the:
- door (bent),
- hinges and latches (broken or loosened),
- door seals and sealing surfaces.
• The oven should not be adjusted or
repaired by anyone except properly qualified
service personnel.

INSTRUCTIONS
The marked rating of the extension cord shall
be equal to or greater than the electrical
rating of the appliance, or...
2. Do not use an extension cord. tf the power
supply cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician or serviceman install an outlet near
the appliance.
NOTES:

Ensure proper ground
exists before use

WARNING
Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric
shock. Consult a qualified electrician if the
grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded, and either:
1. If it is necessary to use an extension cord,
use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a
3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance.

1. A short power-supply cord is provided to
reduce the risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are
available and may be used if care is exercised
in their use.
3. If a long cord or extension cord is used, (1
the marked electrical rating of the cord set or
extension cord should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the
extension cord must be a grounding-type
3-wire cord, and (3) the longer cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over accidentally.

MICROWAVE

POWER LEVELS

Your microwave oven is equipped with ten power levels (11 steps including 0) to give you maximum
flexibility and control over cooking. When your cooking program is completed, a beep automatically
sounds. The table below will give you some idea of which foods are prepared at each of the various
power levels.

AUTO DEFROST

The display changes to defrost time count
down. The oven will beep during the DEFROST
cycle. At this time, open the door and turn,
separate or rearrange the food.
Remove any portions that have thawed.
Return frozen portions to the oven and touch
START to resume the defrost cycle. The oven
will not STOP during the BEEP unless the door
is opened.
• For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat,
and poultry from its original closed paper or
plastic package (wrapper). Otherwise, the
wrap will hold steam and juice close to the
foods, which can cause the outer surface of
the foods to cook.
• Place foods in a shallow glass baking dish or
microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.
• Food should still be somewhat icy in the
center when removed from the oven.

Three defrost sequences are preset in the oven.
The defrost feature provides you with the best
defrosting method for frozen foods. The auto
defrost guide will show you which defrost
sequence is recommended for the food you are
defrosting.
The oven automatically determines required
defrosting times for each food item according to
the weight you enter.
For added convenience, the Auto Defrost
Feature contains a built-in beep mechanism that
lets you check, turn over, separate or rearrange
as recommended in the AUTO DEFROST
GUIDE.
Three different defrosting levels are provided.

TIPS

MEAT
1. No special techniques are required. Meat should be prepared as with conventional cooking. Season if
desired. Always thoroughly defrost meat before cooking.
2. Place the meat on a microwave roasting rack or microwave-proof plate and place on the turntable.
3. Cook according to the Meat Cooking Chart (below). Use the longer time for large meats and the
shorter time for smaller meats. For thicker chops, use the longer time.
4. Turn the meat once halfway through the cooking time.
5. Let stand for 5-10 minutes wrapped in foil after cooking. The standing time is very important as it
completes the cooking process.
6. Make sure meat, especially pork, is thoroughly cooked before eating.

POULTRY
1. No special techniques are required. Poultry should be prepared as with conventional cooking.
Season if desired.
2. Poultry should be thoroughly defrosted. Remove giblets and any metal clamps.
3. Prick the skin and brush lightly with vegetable oil unless the poultry is self-basting.
4. All poultry should be placed on a microwave roast-ing rack or a microwave-proof plate and placed
on the turntable.
5. Cook according to the instructions in the Poultry Cooking Chart below. Turn over halfway through
the cooking time. Because of its shape, poultry has a tendency to cook unevenly, especially in
very bony parts.Turning during roasting helps to cook these areas evenly.
6. Let stand for 5-10 minutes wrapped in foil after cooking before carving. The standing time is very
important, as it completes the cooking process.
7. Make sure poultry is thoroughly cooked before eating. Whole poultry is completely cooked when
the juices run clear from the inside thigh when it is pierced with a sharp knife. Poultry pieces
should be pierced with a sharp knife through the thickest part to ensure that the juices are clear
and the flesh is firm.

To heat or reheat successfully in the microwave, it is important to follow several guidelines. Measure
the amount of food in order to determine the time needed to reheat. Arrange the food in a circular
pattern for best results. Room temperature food will heat faster than refrigerated food. Canned foods
should be taken out of the can and placed in a microwavable container. The food will be heated
more evenly if covered with a microwavable lid or plastic wrap and vented. Remove cover carefully
to prevent steam burns. Use the following chart as a guide for reheating cooked food.
