Important Safety Instructions
Grounding
Instructions
Oven MUST be grounded. Grounding reduces risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current if an electrical short occurs. This oven
is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and grounded. See Installation
Instructions.
Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the oven is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the product power
cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install a
three-slot receptacle. This oven should be plugged into
a separate 60 hertz circuit with the electrical rating as
shown in specifications table. When the oven is on a
circuit with other equipment, an increase in cooking
times may be required and fuses can be blown.
Microwave operates on standard household current, 110-
120V.
WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock or death, this oven
must be grounded and plug must not be altered.

SENSOR OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Sensor Cook allows you to cook
most of your favorite foods without
selecting cooking times and power
levels. The display will indicate the
sensing period by scrolling the name
of the food. The oven automatically
determines required cooking time for
each food item. When the internal
sensor detects a certain amount of
gas coming from the food, it will tell
the oven how much longer to cook.
The display will show the remaining
heating time.
For best results when cooking
by Sensor, follow these
recommendations:
1. Food cooked with the sensor
system should be at normal
storage temperature.
2. Glass turntable and outside of
container should be dry to assure
best cooking results.
3. Most foods should always be
covered loosely with microwavable
plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a lid.
4. Do not open the door or touch
the STOP/CLEAR pad during the
sensing time. When sensing time
is over, the oven beeps and the
remaining cooking time will appear
in the display window. At this time
you can open the door to stir, turn,
or rearrange the food.
SENSOR COOKING
GUIDE
Appropriate containers and coverings
help assure good Sensor cooking
results.
1. Always use microwavable con-
tainers and cover them with lids or
vented plastic wrap.
2. Never use tight-sealing plastic
covers. They can prevent steam
from escaping and cause food to
overcook.
3. Match the amount to the size of
the container. Fill containers at
least half full for best results.
4. Be sure the outside of the cooking
container and the inside of the
microwave oven are dry before
placing food in the oven. Beads of
moisture turning into steam can
mislead the sensor.
ADDING OR
SUBTRACTING
COOK TIME
By using the More(9) or Less(1)
pads all of the sensor cook and time
cook settings can be adjusted to cook
food for a longer or shorter time.
POPCORN

Food Standard
Amount Procedure
Roast
Beef,
Pork
2.5-6.0 lbs.
Start with the food
placed fat side down.
After each stage,
turn the food over
and shield any warm
portions with narrow
strips of aluminum foil.
Let stand, covered, for
15 to 30 minute.
Steaks,
Chops,
Fish
0.5-3.0 lbs.
After each stage,
rearrange the food. If
there are any warm
or thawed portions of

2.5-6.0 lbs.
Remove giblets before
freezing poultry. Start
defrosting with the
breast side down.
After the first stage,
turn the chicken over
and shield any warm
portions with narrow
strips of aluminum foil.
After the second stage,
again shield any warm
portions with narrow
strips of aluminum foil.
Let stand, covered for
30-60 minutes in the
refrigerator.
Chicken
Pieces
0.5-3.0 lbs.
After each stage,
rearrange or remove
any pieces of food that
are nearly defrosted.
Let stand for 10-20
minutes.
AUTO DEFROST
Defrost choices are preset in the
oven. The defrost feature provides
you with the best defrosting method
for frozen foods, because the oven
automatically sets the defrosting
times according to the weight you
enter. For added convenience, the
AUTO DEFROST beeps to remind
you to check or turn over the food
during the defrost cycle.
After touching the AUTO DEFROST
pad once, select the food weight.
Available weight ranges are 0.1 to
6.0 lbs.
Example : To defrost 1.2 lbs of
meat.
1. Touch AUTO
DEFROST pad.
2. Enter the weight.
3. Touch ENTER/
START pad.
Operating Instructions
1POUND DEFROST
The 1POUND DEFROST feature
provides a rapid defrost for 1.0 pound
frozen food. The oven automatically
sets the defrosting time.
Example: To defrost 1lb. ground
beef.
1. Touch 1POUND
DEFROST pad.
2. Touch ENTER/
START pad.
DEFROST TIPS
● When using AUTO DEFROST,
the weight to be entered is the
net weight in pounds and tenths
of pounds (the weight of the food
minus the container).
● Use AUTO DEFROST only for raw
food. AUTO 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.
● Shield areas of food with small
pieces of foil if they start to become
warm.
● You can use small pieces of alu-
minum foil to shield foods like
chicken wings, leg tips, and fish
tails, but the foil must not touch the
side of the oven. Foil causes arcing,
which can damage the oven lining.
NOTES:
●
After you touch ENTER/START
pad, the display counts down the
defrost time. The oven will beep
twice during the Defrost cycle. At
this time, open the door and turn
the food as needed. Remove any
portions that have thawed then
return frozen portions to the oven
and touch ENTER/START pad to
resume the defrost cycle.

METAL RACK
The metal rack gives you extra space
when cooking in more than one
container at the same time.
To use rack:
1. Place rack securely in the four
plastic supports.
● Rack MUST NOT touch metal
walls or back of microwave oven.
2. Place equal amounts of food both
ABOVE AND BELOW rack.
● Amount of food must be
approximately the same to
balance out cooking energy.
To avoid risk of property
damage:
● Do not use rack to pop
popcorn.
● Rack must be on the four
plastic supports when used.
● Use the rack only when
cooking food on rack position.
● Do not cook with rack on floor
of the oven.
CAUTION
GETTING THE BEST
COOKING RESULTS
To get the best results from your
microwave oven, read and follow the
guidelines below.
● Storage Temperature: Foods
taken from the freezer or refrigerator
take longer to cook than the same
foods at room temperature.
● Size: Small pieces of food cook
faster than large ones, pieces
similar in size and shape cook
more evenly. For even cooking,
reduce the power when cooking
large pieces of food.
● Natural Moisture: Very moist
foods cook more evenly because
microwave energy is attracted to
water molecules.
● Stir foods such as casseroles and
vegetables from the outside to the
center to distribute the heat evenly
and speed cooking. Constant
stirring is not necessary.
● Turn over foods like pork chops,
baking potatoes, roasts, or whole
cauliflower halfway through the
cooking time to expose all sides
equally to microwave energy.
● Place delicate areas of foods,
such as asparagus tips, toward the
center of the dish.
● Arrange unevenly shaped foods,
such as chicken pieces or salmon
steaks, with the thicker, meatier
parts toward the outside of the dish.
● Shield, with small pieces of
aluminum foil, parts of food that
may cook quickly, such as wing tips
and leg ends of poultry.
● Let It Stand: After you remove the
food from the microwave, cover
food with foil or casserole lid and
let it stand to finish cooking in the
center and avoid overcooking the
outer edges. The length of standing
time depends on the density and
surface area of the food.
● Wrapping in waxed paper or
paper towel: Sandwiches and
many other foods containing
prebaked bread should be wrapped
prior to microwaving to prevent
drying out.

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 has passed.
● 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, while a dish of peas can be served immediately.

Cooking Utensils
MICROWAVE UTENSIL GUIDE
USE DO NOT 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 times.
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.
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.

● 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.
If you have a problem you cannot solve,
please call our service line:
(1-800-536-6247)
Note:
If the oven is set to cook for more than 25 minutes, it
will automatically adjust itself to 70 percent power
after 25 minutes to avoid overcooking.
