If materials inside the oven ignite,
keep oven door closed, turn
oven off, and disconnect the power
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
General Use
1Do NOT attempt to tamper with or make any
adjustments or repairs to door, control panel or
any other part of the oven. Do NOT remove
outer panel from oven. Repairs should only be
done by qualified service personnel.
2Do NOT operate the oven empty. The
microwave energy will reflect continuously
throughout the oven if no food or water is
present to absorb energy.
3If a fire occurs in the oven, touch the
Stop/Clear button and LEAVE THE DOOR
CLOSED. Disconnect the power cord, or shut
off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
4Do NOT attempt to dry clothes, newspapers or
other materials in the oven. They may catch on
fire.
5Do NOT use recycled paper products.
Recycled paper towels, napkins and waxed
paper can contain metal flecks which may
cause arcing or ignite. Paper products
containing nylon or nylon filaments should be
avoided, as they may ignite.
6Some styrofoam trays (like those that meat is
packaged on) have a thin strip of metal
embedded on the bottom. When microwaved,
the metal can burn the floor of the oven or
ignite a paper towel.
7Avoid inserting nails, wire, etc. through any
holes in the unit during operation. Never insert
a wire, nail or any other metal objects through
the holes on the cavity or any other holes or
gaps, because such objects may cause
electric shock and microwave leakage.
Utensils
1METAL CONTAINERS or dishes with metallic
rims should not be used. Arcing may occur.
2METAL TWIST-TIES may not be used in the
microwave oven.
3Do NOT use SEALED JARS or NARROW
NECK bottles for cooking or reheating. They
may shatter.
4Do NOT use CONVENTIONAL THER-
MOMETERS in the microwave oven. They
may cause arcing.
5Remove PLASTIC STORE WRAPS before
cooking or defrosting foods in the oven.
6For FURTHER INFORMATION on proper
cooking utensils, refer to the COOKING
GUIDE on page 17.
Food
1Never use your microwave oven for HOME
CANNING. The oven is not designed to permit
proper canning. Improperly canned food may
spoil and be dangerous to consume.
2COOKING TIMES given in the cooking guide
are approximate. Factors that may affect
cooking are starting temperature, altitude,
volume, size and shape of food and utensils
used. As you become familiar with the oven,
you will be able to adjust for these factors.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
springs of the safety interlock switches,
thereby rendering them inoperable.
18 Wipe the oven interior with a soft damp cloth
after each use. If you leave grease or fat
anywhere in the cavity it may overheat, smoke
or even catch fire when next using the oven.
Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able
to be overheated beyond the boiling point
without appearing to be boiling due to
surface tension of the liquid. Visible bubbling
or boiling when container is removed from
the microwave oven is not always present.

Keep the splatter shield clean at all times.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
3It is better to UNDERCOOK RATHER THAN
OVERCOOK foods. If food is undercooked, it
can always be returned to the oven for further
cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can be
done. Always start with minimum cooking times.
4SMALL QUANTITIES of food or foods with
LOW MOISTURE content can burn, dry out or
catch on fire if cooked too long.
5Do NOT boil eggs in their shell. Pressure may
build up and the eggs may explode.
6Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole acorn
squash and sausage are some examples of
foods with NONPOROUS SKINS. These must
be pierced before cooking to prevent bursting.
7POPCORN must be popped in a microwave
corn popper. Microwave popped corn produces
a lower yield than conventional popping. Do not
use oven for popcorn unless popped in a
microwave approved popcorn utensil or unless
it’s commercially packaged and recommended
especially for microwave ovens. Do not use oil
unless specified by the manufacturer.
8Do NOT attempt to deep fat fry in your oven.
9HEATED LIQUIDS can ERUPT if not mixed
with air. Do not heat liquids in your microwave
oven without first stirring.
10 Do NOT use paper towels to cover food as
they can ignite.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION
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 with a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that
is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified
electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a three wire extension cord that has a three blade
grounding plug, and a three slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating
of the extension cord should be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
1. Steady, flat location: When positioning the microwave oven, it should be set on a steady, flat surface.
2. Ventilation: Do not block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the oven may overheat and
eventually cause oven failure. For proper ventilation, keep three inches of space between the oven’s top,
sides, rear and the area where the unit is to be installed.
3. Radio and TV reception: Poor television reception and radio interference may result if the oven is located
close to a TV, radio, antenna, or antenna wire. Position the oven as far from them as possible.
4. Temperature and moisture: Keep the oven away from hot air, steam or splashing liquids when choosing
a place to locate it, otherwise, the unit’s operation may be adversely affected, causing it to break down.
5. Power supply:
• Check your local power source. This microwave oven requires a 120V, 60Hz ,15Amp power supply.
• Use a receptacle that will accept the ground prong.
(a) A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
(b) Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
(c) 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 counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
6. Examine the oven for any damage such as: Dents, a misaligned door, broken door or a dent in the
cavity. If any of the above are visible, DO NOT INSTALL THE UNIT. Notify the dealer immediately.

HOW TO USE YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN SAFELY
Roller Guide
1The ROLLER GUIDE and oven floor should be
cleaned frequently to prevent excessive noise.
2The ROLLER GUIDE MUST ALWAYS be used
for cooking together with the Glass Tray.
Glass Tray
1Do NOT operate the oven without the Glass
Tray in place.
2Do NOT use any other Glass Tray with this
oven.
3If the Glass Tray is hot, ALLOW IT TO COOL
before cleaning it or placing it in water.
4Do NOT cook directly on the Glass Tray.
Glass Tray Roller Guide
Although your oven is provided with safety features, it is important to observe the following:
a) It is important not to defeat or tamper with safety interlocks.
b) Do not place any object between the oven face and the door or allow residue to accumulate on sealing
surfaces. Wipe the sealing area frequently with a mild detergent, rinse and wipe dry. Never use abrasive
powders or pads.
c) When opened, the door must not be subjected to strain, for example, a child hanging on an open door or
any load which could cause the oven to fall forward and cause injury and damage to the door. Do not
operate the oven if it is damaged, until it has been repaired by a qualified person. It is particularly important
that the oven door close properly and that there is no damage to the following:
(1) Door (bent), (2) Hinges and Latches (broken or loosened), (3) Door seals and sealing surfaces.
d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.
6
CARE OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
1Disconnect the AC plug from the outlet before
cleaning.
2Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food
spatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls,
wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be
used if the oven gets very dirty. The use of
harsh detergent or abrasives is not
recommended.
If steam accumulates on both sides of the oven
door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur
when the microwave oven is operated under
high humidity conditions and this is not an
indication of a malfunction in the unit.
It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass
tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm, sudsy
water or in a dishwasher.
The roller guide and oven cavity floor should be
cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise.
Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with
mild detergent water or window cleaner and dry.
The roller guide may be washed in mild, sudsy
water or in the dishwasher.
3The outside oven surface should be cleaned
If the Control Panel becomes dirty or wet, clean

THE PRINCIPLES OF MICROWAVE COOKING
Microwaves are a form of high frequency radio waves similar to those used by a radio including AM, FM and
CB. Electricity is converted into microwave energy by the magnetron tube. From the magnetron tube,
microwave energy is transmitted to the oven where it is reflected, transmitted and absorbed by the food.
Reflection: Microwaves are reflected by metal just as a ball is bounced off of a wall. For this reason, metal utensils
are not suitable for use in the microwave. A combination of stationary interior walls and a rotating metal turntable or
stirrer fan helps assure that the microwaves are well distributed within the oven cavity to produce even cooking.
Transmission: Microwaves pass through some materials such as paper, glass and plastic much like sunlight shining
through a window. Because these substances do not absorb or reflect the microwave energy, they are ideal materials
for microwave oven cooking containers.
Absorption: During cooking, microwaves will be absorbed by food. They penetrate to a depth of about 3/4 to 1 1/2
inches. Microwave energy activates the molecules in the food (especially water, fat and sugar), and heat is produced.
If you vigorously rub your hands together, you will feel heat produced by friction. The internal cooking of larger foods
is done by conduction as the heat which is produced by friction is conducted to the middle of the food. Foods also
continue to cook by conduction during standing time.
FOOD CHARACTERISTICS
Quantity: The amount of food placed in a microwave oven has a direct effect on the cooking time. Small amounts
of food or liquid require less cooking time than larger amounts of the same substance. As quantity increases,
concentration decreases.
Size: Small pieces cook faster than large ones. To speed cooking, cut pieces smaller than two inches (5 cm), so
microwaves can penetrate to the middle from all sides. Pieces which are similar in size and shape cook more evenly.
Shape: Many foods are uneven, like a chicken, ribs or broccoli. The thin parts will cook faster than the thick parts,
while uniformly thick foods cook evenly. To compensate for irregular shapes, place thin pieces toward the center of
the dish and thicker pieces toward the edge of the dish.
Starting Temperature: Frozen or refrigerated foods take longer to cook than foods at room temperature.
Bone and Fat: Because bones conduct heat, the side of the meat the bone is on will cook first, while boneless cuts
cook slower but more evenly. Fat attracts microwaves. The middle of these foods is cooked by heat conduction.
Moisture Content: Microwaves are attracted by moisture. Naturally moist foods absorb microwaves better than dry
ones. Add a minimum of liquid to moist foods, as excess water slows cooking.
Density: The density of food determines how easily the microwaves can penetrate and how quickly it will cook.
Porous foods, like chopped beef or mashed potatoes, microwave faster than dense ones like steak or whole potatoes.
Piercing: Steam builds up pressure in foods which are tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Pierce potatoes, egg
yolks and chicken livers to prevent bursting.
MICROWAVE TECHNIQUES
Stirring: Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking to equalize heat and speed microwaving.
Foods will not burn or stick, so there’s no need to stir constantly as you do in conventional cooking.
Arrangement: Arrange foods with thin or delicate ends, like drumsticks or asparagus spears, with the thick or tougher
portions to the outside of the dish. The parts which need more cooking will receive more energy, so food will microwave
evenly.
Spacing: Individual foods, such as baked potatoes and cupcakes will cook more evenly if placed in the oven an equal
distance apart. When possible, arrange foods in a circular pattern. Similarly, when placing foods in a baking dish, arrange
around the outside of the dish, not lined up next to each other. Food should not be stacked on top of each other.
Rearrangement: Rearrange overlapping areas, like tails of long fish fillets, from top to bottom, and closely packed pieces,
like meatballs, from the outside to the center of the dish.
Standing Time: Standing time is especially important in microwave cooking. Microwave energy creates heat in the outer
layers of the food. As a result of normal conduction, the food continues to cook for a few minutes after removal from the
oven. Letting roasts, large whole vegetables, casseroles and cakes stand to finish cooking allows the middles to cook
completely without overcooking, drying or toughening the outsides.
Covering: Covering speeds cooking time, retains moisture, tenderizes, insures even cooking and prevents spattering.
Casserole lids or plastic wrap are used for a tighter seal. Vent plastic by turning back one edge at the side of dish to form
a narrow slot where excess steam can escape. Various degrees of moisture retention are also obtained by using wax
paper or microwave-safe paper towels.
Browning: Microwave energy cooks some foods so quickly that the fats and sugars within the food do not have time to
caramelize and give a "browned" appearance. Browning agents do not affect the quality of microwaved foods, but can
add color and flavor. For meats and poultry, use bouquet sauce diluted with water or melted butter, soy, Worcestershire,
barbecue or steak sauce, a sprinkling of paprika or dry gravy mix; jelly glaze or crumb coating. Frosting and topping
finish cakes and breads. Top casseroles at the end of microwaving with grated cheese or crumbs.

COOKING GUIDE (CONTINUED)
HOT SNACKS AND APPETIZERS
Hot appetizers can be prepared very quickly in the microwave oven.
Many appetizers may be cooked on the serving platter, provided the platter does not have metal trim. A time
saving tip – prepare these foods ahead of time, refrigerate or freeze, and refresh in the oven at serving time.
A plate of appetizers will take only seconds to refresh.
Cheese melts very rapidly and will toughen if overcooked, so watch foods combined with cheese closely so
that overcooking will not occur. As soon as cheese starts to bubble, cooking is completed.
Appetizers that have a crisp pastry exterior are best prepared in a conventional oven.
To prepare appetizers wrapped in bacon, it will be necessary to precook the bacon and then wrap around the
foods. Oysters wrapped in bacon are easier to prepare in the broiler of your conventional oven.
Seafood mixtures can be prepared in serving shells as microwave energy will pass through the seafood shells
without heating. Aluminum foil should not be used for shells.
If spreads are placed on crackers, care should be taken not to overcook as moisture from the food will cause
crackers to become soggy. Crackers used for spreads should be very dry and crisp. This helps avoid
sogginess. Heat only until spread is at serving temperature.
The time required to heat all appetizers will depend on the amount of food, and the number and the type of
dish selected. Remember the food will become very hot even if the dish is cool. Cheese mixtures retain heat
longer when heated with microwave energy.
Some Foods Do Not Microwave Well
Eggs in Shells and hard boiled eggs can burst.
Pancakes do not crust, but they reheat well. Fully-prepared, frozen pancakes are available for
microwaving.
Deep Fat Frying can cause burns.

SEAFOOD
Guide for Cooking Seafood
Microwaving is one of the easiest and most efficient ways of preparing fish and seafood, which stay delicate
and tender with quick, moist cooking. Overcooking dries out and toughens seafood, so you should check it
after the minimum time. If thick pieces like fish steaks or lobster tails are done on the outside, but still slightly
translucent in the middle, let them stand for a few minutes; internal heat will complete the cooking.

MEATS
Guide for Cooking Meats
Roasts, chops, hamburgers and small cuts of tender meat cook beautifully in the microwave oven. Most roasts
can be cooked rare, medium rare or even well done in less than one hour. Less tender cuts of meat such as
pot roast can be simmered fork-tender in a sauce or gravy. Tough cuts that require slow cooking will do better
in a conventional oven. A large piece of meat, especially if the shape is uneven, should be turned over
occasionally for uniform roasting.

POULTRY
Guide for Cooking Poultry
Chicken is one of the most popular foods and microwaving chicken is one of the best uses of your microwave
oven. Chicken stays juicy and tender in the microwave oven. However, juiciness prevents browning because
chicken crisps and browns only when the skin dries out enough to change color. Standing time is important,
because it allows the interior to finish cooking without toughening the delicate breast meat.

EGGS & CHEESE
Guide for Cooking Eggs & Cheese
•CHEESE
Cheese melts quickly and smoothly. When serving cheese as an appetizer, flavor is at peak when served
at room temperature. Use a low power level for melting. Cheese melts best when shredded and heated
with milk or other liquids. Stir cheese mixtures several times for even heating.
•EGGS
Eggs cook differently by microwave. The high fat content of egg yolks absorbs energy, so yolks cook
faster than whites. It's easy to poach eggs in a microwave oven, but if you want soft yolks, remove eggs
from the oven before whites are completely cooked. A brief standing time allows whites to set without
overcooking yolks. Check eggs for completion of cooking early, they toughen when overcooked.
When eggs and yolks are mixed together for omelets, scrambled eggs or custards, they cook more evenly
and need less stirring than during conventional cooking methods.
Do not try to cook eggs in the shell. Steam can build up inside the shells, causing them to burst.

VEGETABLES
Guide for Cooking Fresh Vegetables
Nutrition research indicates that many microwaved vegetables and fruits lose less water soluble vitamin C than
when cooked conventionally. This is due to shorter cooking time and to the fact that less cooking water is
needed when microwaving fruits and vegetables. Best of all, vegetables keep their fresh color, texture and
flavor. Vegetables should be microwaved covered with vented plastic wrap or a casserole lid. Vegetables
cooked in their skins, such as potatoes, are already so tightly covered that they should be pricked with a fork
before cooking in order to release excess steam. To assure even cooking, vegetables should be cut in uniform
pieces and stirred during the cooking time. Always add salt to water before adding vegetables. Reduce time
a minute or two for crisp-tender texture. Increase time for very soft texture. Remember to allow standing time
of two to five minutes after cooking because, as most foods do, vegetables will continue to cook after they
are removed from the microwave oven.
COOKING GUIDE (CONTINUED)
CASSEROLES
Casseroles may require occasional stirring to distribute heat. They cook more evenly when made with
ingredients of similar size and shape. Because of their shorter cooking time, casseroles cooked in the
microwave oven generally need less liquid. Casseroles with cream and cheese sauces, or meats which need
slower cooking to tenderize, cook best on power level 40.
When cooking a favorite casserole, make two and freeze the second for future use. Line a casserole or baking
dish with plastic wrap. Transfer the cooked food to the lined container and freeze. As soon as the food is
frozen in the shape of the dish, remove it and wrap with freezer paper. Later it can be unwrapped and returned
to the container for defrosting and heating.
Dry Casserole Mixtures
Many prepared box type casseroles are available on the grocery shelves. Many have freeze dried foods or
evaporated foods included. Cooking periods are so short there may not be time for the foods to absorb the
moisture sufficiently and reconstitute the foods. To prepare this type, boil the amount of water recommended
on the package. Add the noodles (when included), cover and cook for approximately 10 minutes. Allow noodles
to stand covered for an additional 10 minutes, rinse with warm water and drain. Then follow package directions
for preparing the mix. Reheat four to six minutes before serving.

SAUCES
Guide for Cooking Sauces
Sauces boil over rapidly, especially those that contain milk. As soon as the door is opened, cooking stops. If
ingredients are not taken directly from the refrigerator, cooking time will be less than given in the recipe. Stir
sauce quickly, about every 30 seconds to eliminate lumps. Be sure to use a container twice the size of the
amount of liquid to prevent boiling over.
A wooden spoon may be left in the dish while sauce is cooking for easy stirring. If sauce is stirred slowly,
cooking time may require about 15 seconds longer. If desired, a one-quart glass measure may be used to
prepare some sauces.

SANDWICHES, INCLUDING HAMBURGERS AND HOT DOGS
Guide for Heating Sandwiches
Sandwiches heat very quickly because, being porous, they have a low density. Since the filling is usually more
dense than the bread or rolls, the filling determines the heating time. Surprisingly, the filling will always be
hotter than the bread feels. Care must be taken not to overcook as the bread will become tough. Use several
thin slices of meat. Thin slices heat more quickly and are better than one thick slice. The slow heating thick slice
often causes the bread to overcook before the meat is hot. Sandwiches may be placed on a paper plate, napkin
or paper towel to be warmed. The sandwich should be covered with a microwave-safe paper towel. Remove
wrapping immediately after warming. Already-baked frozen breads and rolls may be used for sandwiches. The
filling, however, should be thawed first. Toasted bread is fine for sandwiches and provides a firm base. The toast
is warmed only; no further browning occurs.

PASTA & GRAINS
Guide for Cooking Pasta and Grains
Raw long grain rice takes time to rehydrate. Microwaving time is a little shorter than conventional, but the
greatest advantage is the ease with which you can prepare fluffy rice without sticking or burning. Cooked rice
and pasta reheat easily in the microwave oven without loss of flavor or texture. No extra water is needed to
prevent sticking or drying, so there's no danger of overcooking rice and pasta or thinning sauces.

CONVENIENCE FOODS
Frozen Foods
A large variety of frozen foods, special dishes and dinners are available and the selections continue to
increase. The market is changing rapidly, therefore it is impossible to list the foods and types available and
recommend cooking procedures. In this book we can only give general directions to assist you.
T.V. Dinners
To prepare a T.V. dinner, follow the maker’s instructions for use with microwave ovens. To cook a T.V. dinner
will require approximately five to seven minutes for the food to thaw and heat to serving temperature
(depending on the types of food). Allow plastic wrap to remain over the dish for two minutes to allow heat to
equalize. Dinners that contain mashed potatoes have presented a bit of a problem due to the large compact
mass of this particular food. You may want to remove about half the mashed potatoes after defrosting is
started, then spread the remaining potatoes over the individual section of the tray. Heat the removed mashed
potatoes in an individual dish. For foods that should be crisp when cooking is completed, remove the plastic
wrap and use the broiler of a conventional oven to crisp the food.
Individual Frozen Foods
These may be commercially prepared or frozen at home. Place the container of frozen food in the oven and
heat only until the food starts to defrost and can be removed easily. Empty contents into a casserole or serving
dish and continue to defrost and heat. Do not heat foods in deep foil containers. To crisp and brown special
toppings, use the broiler of a conventional oven. If allowed to heat to serving temperature in a plastic container,
the container will warp or melt from the high heat of food.
Frozen Foods in Cooking Pouches or Boilable Bags
To prepare these foods, slit the plastic bag. An X-type cut will help remove the food at the end of cooking time.
Place the cut side down on a serving dish (with no metal trim). Heat foods other than vegetables for about
three minutes. Frozen vegetables require about eight to nine and a half minutes of cooking time. Allow the
pouch bag to remain over the food for about two minutes to allow time for the heat to equalize. Foods prepared
in cheese or white sauce should be removed from the pouch and placed in a glass casserole dish and stirred
to prevent overcooking of the sauce around the edges of the dish.
23
Complete Meals from Table Leftovers
Complete meals from leftovers can be prepared in advance. Foods can be frozen and ready for quick heating
in the oven at any time. Choose foods suitable for freezing and put serving portions on paper, glass or china
(no metal trim) plates. Wrap with recommended freezer paper and freeze quickly. When apportioning the
servings of food on the plate, use approximately the same amount of each kind of food for more even heating.
Mashed potatoes will heat quicker if spread slightly and hollowed, with a pat of butter in the center. To prevent
small pieces of vegetables, corn, peas, etc., from dehydrating during heating, mound well near the center of
the plate.
COOKING GUIDE (CONTINUED)
DESSERTS
There's always time to make dessert with a microwave oven. Fruit desserts have a remarkably fresh flavor
and texture. Microwaved cakes are higher and more tender than conventionally baked; since cakes are usually
frosted, browning is unimportant. Microwaved pie crusts are exceptionally tender and flaky, while delicate
custards and puddings are easy to prepare.

Baking
• Bar cookies work best. Greasing or lining of the microwaveable baking dish is optional.
• If insufficient browning disturbs you, frost, glaze or add food coloring to white or yellow batters.
• A microwaveable cookie sheet can be made by covering cardboard with waxed paper.
• Round glass baking dishes, and fluted or smooth microwaveable ring molds work best for cakes. You can
make a microwaveable ring mold of your own by placing a medium-size glass in the center of a round glass
baking dish.
• Because your cakes will rise higher in microwave cooking, never fill microwaveable cake pans more than
half full.
• Reduce baking powder and soda by approximately one-fourth when converting a conventional recipe.
• Fill paper-lined muffin cups to only half full which allows for muffins to rise more than normal.
• You can prepare your own "brown 'n serve" breads and rolls by baking them ahead of time in the microwave
oven. Then, place them in a conventional oven to brown prior to serving.
• Breads and rolls should be reheated to the point where they are warm to the touch. Overheating or
overcooking makes bread tough and rubbery.
• When making yeast bread in a microwave oven, choose a recipe with cornmeal, whole wheat flour, or rye
flour to achieve a richer color.
