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 electrical current. This
appliance is equipped with a cord that includes a grounding wire
and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and grounded. Plug the three-prong
power cord into a properly grounded outlet of standard 115-120
voltage, 60 Hz. Your oven should be the only appliance on this
circuit.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk
of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or
servicer if you do not understand the grounding
instructions or if you are not sure if the appliance is
properly grounded.
Use of Extension Cords
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer
cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if
care is exercised in their use. 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 it must
be plugged into a 3-slot outlet.
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 accidentally. If you use an extension cord, the interior
light may flicker and the blower may vary when the microwave oven
is on. Cooking times may be longer, too.
WARNING
Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord under any circumstances.
Note
Connect the oven to a 20A circuit . When connecting
the oven to a 15A circuit, make sure that circuit
breaker is operable.

Cooking Instructions
Cooking Utensils
Recommended Use
•Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes — Use for heating or
cooking.
•Microwavable browning dish — Use to brown the exterior of small
items such as steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions
provided with your browning dish.
•Microwavable plastic wrap — Use to retain steam. Leave a small
opening for some steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on
the food.
•Wax paper — Use as a cover to prevent spattering.
•Paper towels and napkins — Use for short-term heating and
covering; they absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do
not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and can
catch fire.
•Paper plates and cups — Use for short-term heating at low
temperatures. Do not use recycled paper, which may contain metal
and can catch fire.
•Thermometers — Use only those labeled “Microwave Safe” and
follow all directions. Check the food in several places. Conventional
thermometers may be used once the food has been removed from
the oven.
Limited Use
•Aluminum foil — Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of
exposed areas. Using too much foil can damage your oven, so be
careful.
•Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware — Use these if they are
labeled “Microwave Safe”. If they are not labeled, test them to make
sure they can be used safely. Never use dishes with metallic trim.
•Plastic — Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe”. Other plastics can
melt.
•Straw, wicker, and wood — Use only for short-term heating, as
they can be flammable.
Not Recommended
•Glass jars and bottles — Regular glass is too thin to be used in a
microwave, and can shatter.
•Paper bags — These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that
are designed for microwave use.
•Styrofoam plates and cups — These can melt and leave an
unhealthy residue on food.
•Plastic storage and food containers — Containers such as
margarine tubs can melt in the microwave.
•Metal utensils — These can damage your oven. Remove all metal
before cooking.
Testing Utensils
If you are not sure whether a dish is microwave-safe or not, you can per-
form this test:
1Fill a 1 cup glass measuring cup with water and put it inside your
oven, next to the dish you want to test.
2Press the One Minute + button once to heat them for one minute at
High power.
The water should be warm and the dish you are testing should be cool. If
the dish is warm, then it is absorbing microwave energy and is not
acceptable for use in the microwave.

Cooking Instructions
Cooking Techniques
Stirring
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute
heat evenly. Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and
heats more quickly, so stir from the outside to the center. The oven will
turn off when you open the door to stir your food.
Arrangement
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with
the thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable where they
receive more microwave energy. To prevent overcooking, place thin or
delicate parts toward the center of the turntable.
Shielding
Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking.
Areas that need shielding include poultry wing-tips, the ends of poultry
legs, and corners of square baking dishes. Use only small amounts of
aluminum foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven.
Turning
Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to micro-
wave energy. This is especially important with large items such as
roasts.
Standing
Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue to
cook for a few minutes after the oven stops. Let foods stand to complete
cooking, especially foods such as roasts and whole vegetables. Roasts
need this time to complete cooking in the center without overcooking the
outer areas. All liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken
or stirred when cooking is complete. Let liquids stand a moment before
serving. When heating baby food, stir well and test the temperature
before serving.
Adding Moisture
Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven
in moisture content should be covered or allowed to stand so that the
heat disperses evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food to help it
cook.
General Tips
•Dense foods, such as potatoes, take longer to heat than lighter
foods. Foods with a delicate texture should be heated at a low power
level to avoid becoming tough.
•Altitude and the type of cookware you are using can affect cooking
time. When using a new recipe, use the minimum cooking time and
check the food occasionally to prevent overcooking.
•Foods with a non-porous skin such as potatoes or hot dogs, should
be pierced to prevent bursting.
•Frying with heating oil or fat is not recommended. Fat and oil can
suddenly boil over and cause severe burns.
•Some ingredients heat faster than others. For example, the jelly
inside a jelly doughnut will be hotter than the dough. Keep this in
mind to avoid burns.
•Home canning in the microwave oven is not recommended because
all harmful bacteria may not be destroyed by the microwave heating
process.
•Although microwaves do not heat the cookware, the heat from the
food is often transferred to the cookware. Always use pot holders
when removing food from the microwave and instruct children to do
the same.
•Making candy in the microwave is not recommended as candy can
heat to very high temperatures. Keep this in mind to avoid injury.

Cooking Instructions
Guide for Cooking Seafood in Your Microwave
•Cook fish until it flakes easily with a fork.
•Place fish on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe
dish.
•Use a tight cover to steam fish. A lighter cover of wax paper or paper
towel provides less steaming.
•Do not overcook fish; check it at minimum cooking time.
Guide for Cooking Eggs in Your Microwave
•Never cook eggs in the shell, and never warm hard-cooked eggs in
the shell; they can explode.
•Always pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting.
•Cook eggs just until set; they become tough if overcooked.
Guide for Cooking Vegetables in Your Microwave
•Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Often, no extra
water is needed. If dense vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and
green beans are being cooked, add about ¼ cup water.
•Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook
faster than larger ones.
•Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or corn on the
cob, should be arranged in a circle on the turntable before cooking.
They will cook more evenly if turned over after half the cooking time.
•Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli with the stem
ends pointing towards the edge of the dish and the tips toward the
center.
•When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with a lid or
vented microwavable plastic wrap.
•Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, squash, eggplant,
etc., should have their skin pricked in several spots before cooking to
prevent them from bursting.
•For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway
through the cooking time.
•Generally, the denser the food, the longer the standing time.
(Standing time refers to the time necessary for dense, large foods
and vegetables to finish cooking after they come out of the oven.) A
baked potato can stand on the counter for five minutes before
cooking is completed, while a dish of peas can be served
immediately.

Auto Defrosting Guide
•Follow the instructions below when defrosting different types of food.
Notes
Check foods when the oven signals. After the final stage, small sections
may still be icy; let them stand to continue thawing. Do not defrost until
all ice crystals have thawed. Shielding roasts and steaks with small
pieces of foil prevents the edges from cooking before the center of the
food has defrosted. Use narrow, flat, smooth strips of aluminum foil to
cover the edges and thinner sections of the food.

Troubleshooting Guide
Before you call a repair person for your oven, check this list of possible
problems and solutions.
Neither the oven’s display nor the oven operate.
•Properly insert the plug into a grounded outlet.
•If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch, make sure the wall switch
is turned on.
•Remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten seconds, then plug it in
again.
•Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuse.
•Plug another appliance into the outlet; if the other appliance doesn’t
work, have a qualified electrician repair the outlet.
•Plug the oven into a different outlet.
The oven’s display works, but the power won’t come
on.
•Make sure the door is closed securely.
•Check to see if packing material or other material is stuck to the door
seal.
•Check for door damage.
•Press Cancel twice and re-enter all cooking instructions.
The power goes off before the set time has elapsed.
•If there has not been a power outage, remove the plug from the
outlet, wait ten seconds, then plug it in again. If there was a power
outage, the time indicator will display “ ” Reset the clock and
any cooking instructions.
•Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuse.
The food is cooking too slowly.
•Make sure the oven is on its own 20 amp circuit line. Operating
another appliance on the same circuit can cause a voltage drop. If
necessary, move the oven to its own circuit.
You see sparks or arcing.
•Remove any metallic utensils, cookware, or metal ties. If using foil,
use only narrow strips and allow at least one inch between the foil
and interior oven walls.
The turntable makes noises or sticks.
•Clean the turntable, roller ring and oven floor.
•Make sure the turntable and roller ring are positioned correctly.
Using your microwave causes TV or radio interference.
•This is similar to the interference caused by other small appliances,
such as hair dryers. Move your microwave further away from other
appliances, like your TV or radio.
Care and Cleaning
Follow these instructions to clean and care for your oven.
•Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids
can stick to the oven walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently.
•Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not
use harsh detergents or abrasives.
•To help loosen baked on food particles or liquids, heat two cups of
water (add the juice of one lemon if you desire to keep the oven
fresh) in a four-cup measuring glass at High power for five minutes
or until boiling. Let stand in the oven for one or two minutes.
•Remove the glass tray from the oven when cleaning the oven or tray.
To prevent the tray from breaking, handle it carefully and do not put it
in water immediately after cooking. Wash the tray carefully in warm
sudsy water or in the dishwasher.
•Clean the outside surface of the oven with soap and a damp cloth.
Dry with a soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts of the
oven, don’t let water seep into the openings.
•Wash the door window with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use
a soft cloth to avoid scratching.
•If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a
soft cloth. Steam can accumulate when operating the oven in high
humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage.
•Never operate the oven without food in it; this can damage the
magnetron tube or glass tray. You may wish to leave a cup of water
in the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is
accidentally turned on.
