INSTALLATION
A. Circuits
For safety purposes this oven must be plugged into a
20 Amp circuit. No other electrical appliances or light-
ing circuits should be on this line. If in doubt, consult a
licensed electrician.
B. Voltage Warning
The voltage used at the wall receptacle must be the
same as specified on the oven name plate located on
the back or on the side of the control panel of the oven.
Use of a higher voltage is dangerous and may result in
a fire or other type of accident causing oven damage.

microwave oven does not perform normally in spite of
proper voltage, remove and reinsert the plug.
C. Placement of the Oven
Your microwave oven can be placed easily in your
kitchen, family room, or anywhere else in your home.
Place the oven on a fiat surface such as a kitchen
countertop or a specially designed microwave oven
cart at least 100cm (39.4 inches) from floor. Do not
place oven above a gas range. Free air flow around
the oven is important. Allow at least 4 inches
of space at the top, sides, and back of the oven for
proper ventilation.
4 inches
NOTES:
• Never place the turntable in the oven upside down.
D. Do not block the air vents
All air vents should be kept clear during cooking. If air
vents are covered during oven operation the oven may
overheat. In this case, a sensitive thermal safety device
automatically turns the oven off. The oven will be
inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently.
E. Radio interference
1. Microwave oven operation may interfere with TV
or radio reception.
2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or
eliminated by taking the following measures:
a. Clean the door and the sealing surfaces of the
oven.

TIPS FOR MICROWAVE COOKING
BROWNING
Meat and poultry with high fat content cooked for at
least 10 to 15 minutes will brown lightly. Foods cooked
a shorter time can be brushed with a browning agent,
such as Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, or barbecue
sauce.
COVERING
A cover will trap heat and steam and cause the food to
cook more quickly. Use a lid or microwave-safe plastic
wrap with one corner folded back to vent the excess
steam. Lids on glass casseroles can become hot
during cooking; always handle carefully. Waxed paper
will prevent the food from splattering in the oven and
help retain heat. When warming bread items, use
waxed paper, napkins, or paper towels. To absorb extra
moisture, wrap sandwiches and fatty foods in paper
towels.
SPACING
Arrange individual foods, such as baked potatoes,
cupcakes, and hors d'oeuvres in a circle and at least
1 inch apart. This will help the food cook more evenly.
STIRRING
Stirring blends flavors and redistributes the heat in
foods. Always stir from the outside toward the center
of the dish. Food at the outside of the dish heats first.
TURNING
Large foods, such as roasts and whole poultry, should
be turned so that the top and bottom cook evenly. Also
turn over chicken pieces and chops.
ARRANGEMENT
Do not stack food. Arrange in a single layer in the dish
for more even cooking. Because dense foods cook
more slowly, place thicker portions of meat, poultry,
fish, and vegetables toward the outside of the dish.
TESTING FOR DONENESS
Foods cook quickly in a microwave oven; test frequently
for doneness.
STANDING TIME
Food often needs to stand from 2 to 15 minutes after
being removed from the oven. Usually, you need to
cover food during standing time to retain heat. Remove
most foods when they are slightly undercooked and
they will finish cooking during standing time. The
internal temperature of food will rise about IO°F during
standing time.
SHIELDING
To prevent some portions of rectangular or square
dishes from overcooking, you may need to shield
them with small strips of aluminum foil to block the
microwaves. You can also cover poultry legs and
wing tips with foil to keep them from overcooking.
Always keep foil at least 1inch from oven walls
to prevent arcing.
PIERCING
Pierce the shell, skin, or membrane of foods before
cooking to prevent them from bursting. Foods that
require piercing include yolks and whites of eggs, hot
dogs, clams, oysters, and whole vegetables, such as
potatoes and squash.
PRECAUTIONS
• Place the front surface of the door three inches or
more from the countertop edge to avoid accidental
tipping of the microwave oven during normal use.
• To program the oven, make sure you touch the center
of each pad firmly since the areas between the pads
will not activate the oven. A tone will sound each time
a pad is touched correctly. Do not touch several pads
at once.
• Do not strike the control panel with silverware,
cookware, etc. Breakage may occur.
• Always use caution when taking cookware out of the
oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the cooked food
and may be hot. See the "Cookware Guide" earlier in
this section for more information.
• Do not rinse cookware immediately after cooking. This
may cause breakage. Also, always allow the turntable
to cool before removing it from the oven.
• Never operate the oven when it is empty. Food or
water should always be in the oven during operation
to absorb the microwave energy.
• Do not use the oven to dry newspapers or clothes.
They may catch fire.
• Use thermometers that have been approved for
microwave oven cooking.
• The turntable must always be in place when you
operate the oven.
• Do not use your microwave oven to cook eggs in the
shell. Pressure can build up inside the shell, causing it
to burst.
• There are several precautions to follow when
microwaving popcorn:
-- Do not pop popcorn, except in a microwave-safe
container or commercial packages designed for
microwave ovens.
-- Never try to pop popcorn in a paper bag that is not
microwave-approved.
-- Overcooking may result in smoke and fire.
-- Do not repop unpopped kernels.
-- Do not reuse popcorn bags.
-- Listen while corn pops. Stop oven when popping
slows to 2-3 seconds between pops.
-- Do not leave microwave unattended while popping
corn.
-- Follow directions on bag.
CLEANING
NOTE: Before cleaning the oven, unplug the power
cord. If this is impossible, open the oven door to
prevent an accidental oven start.
INTERIOR
Wipe the oven inside and outside with a soft cloth and
amild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry. This
should be done weekly or more often, if needed. Never
use cleaning powders or rough pads.
Excessive oil splatters on the inside top will be difficult
to remove if left for many days. Wipe splatters with a
wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or
bacon.
REMOVABLE PARTS
The turntable and rotating ring are removable. They
should be hand-washed in warm (not hot) water with a
mild detergent and a soft cloth. Once they are clean,
rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Never use cleaning
powders, steel wool, or rough pads.
• The turntable may be cleaned at the sink. Be careful
not to chip or scratch the edges as this may cause
the turntable to break during use.
• The rotating ring should be cleaned regularly.
DOOR
For best performance and safety, the inner door panel
and the oven front frame should be free of food or
grease buildup. Wipe often with a mild detergent; then
rinse and wipe dry. Never use cleaning powders or
rough pads.
After cleaning the control panel, touch CLEAR to clear
any entries that might have been entered accidentally
while cleaning the panel. Also make sure that the
turntable and rotating ring are in the right position.

COOKING 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.

Questions and Answers (continued)
Food
Question
Why are scrambled eggs sometimes a
little dry after cooking?
Is it possible to pop popcorn in a
microwave oven?
Why do baked apples sometimes burst
during cooking?
Why do baked potatoes sometimes
burn during cooking?
Why is a standing time recommended
after microwave cooking time is over?
Why is additional time required for
cooking food stored in the refrigerator?
Answer
Eggs will dry out when they are overcooked, even if the same
recipe is used each time. The cooking time may need to be varied
for one of these reasons:
• Eggs vary in size.
• Eggs are at room temperature one time and at refrigerator
temperature another time.
• Eggs continue cooking during standing time.
Yes, if using one of the two methods described below:
(1) microwave-popping devices designed specifically for
microwave cooking
(2) prepackaged commercial microwave popcorn that is made
for specific times and power output needed
Follow exact directions given by each manufacturer for
its popcorn popping product and do not leave the oven
unattended while the corn is being popped. If corn fails
to pop after the suggested time, discontinue cooking.
Overcooking could result in an oven fire.
CAUTION:
• Never use a brown paper bag for popping corn or attempt
to pop leftover kernels.
• Do not pop prepackaged commercial microwave popcorn
directly on the glass turntable. To avoid excessive heating
of the glass turntable, place the popcorn bag on a plate.
• Listen while corn pops. Stop oven when popping slows to
2-3 seconds between pops.
• Do not leave microwave unattended while popping corn.
• Follow directions on bag.
The peel has not been removed from the top half of each apple to
allow for expansion of the interior of the apple during cooking. As
in conventional cooking methods, the interior of the apple expands
during the cooking process.
If the cooking time is too long, fire could result. At the end of the
recommended cooking time, potatoes should be slightly firm.
CAUTION: Do not overcook.
Standing time allows foods to continue cooking evenly for a few
minutes after the actual microwave oven cooking cycle. The
amount of standing time depends upon the density of the foods.
As in conventional cooking, the initial temperature of food affects
total cooking time. You need more time to cook food taken out of a
refrigerator than for food at room temperature.
