POWER LEVEL MICROWAVE OUTPUT USE
SENSOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSSensor Cook allows you to cook most of your favorite foods without selecting cooking times and power levels. The display will indicate SENSING during the initial sensing period. The oven automatically determines required cooking time for each food item. When the internal sensor detects a certain amount of humidity coming from the food, it will tell the oven how much longer to heat. The display will show the remaining heating time. For best results for 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. 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 once 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 GUIDEAppropriate 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 TIMEBy using the MORE or LESS pads all of the sensor cook and time cook settings can be adjusted to cook food for a longer or shorter time. POPCORN POPCORN lets you pop commercial-ly packaged microwave popcorn. Pop only one package at a time. For best results, use fresh bags of popcorn.Example: To pop popcorn1. Touch POPCORN pad. When the cook time is over, you will hear four beeps and END will display.● Recommended amounts: 3.0-3.5 ozs.PIZZA SLICE Reheating pizza with PIZZA SLICE lets you reheat one or several slices of pizza without selecting cooking times and power levels.Example: To reheat 2 slices of pizza.1. Touch PIZZA SLICE pad. When the cook time is over, you will hear four beeps and END will display.● Recommended amounts: 1-4 slices. ● DO NOT leave microwave oven unattended while pop-ping corn.● When popping commercially packaged popcorn,remove the rack from the oven; Do not place the bag of microwave popcorn on the rack or under the rack.11Operating InstructionsCAUTION

DEFROSTING GUIDE● Follow the instructions below when defrosting different types of food.Food Standard Amount ProcedureRoast Beef, pork2.5~6.0 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.Steaks, Chops, fish0.5~3.0 lbs.After each stage, rearrange the food. If there are any warm or thawed portions of food, sheild them with narrow flat pieces of aluminum foil. Remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered, for 5-10 minutesGroud Meat0.5~3.0 lbs.After each stage, remove any pieces of food that are nealy defrosted. Let stand, covered with foil, for 5-10 minutes.Whole Chicken2.5~6.0 lbs.Remove giblets before freezing poulty. Start defrosting with the beast 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 sheild any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foril. Let stand, covered for 30-60 minutes in the refrigerator.Chicken Pieces0.5~3.0 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 includes a built-in tone mechanism that reminds you to check or turn over the food during the defrost cycle.After touching the AUTO DEFROST 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.NOTES: ● After you touch ENTER/ START, the display counts down the defrost time. The oven will beep once 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 to resume the defrost cycle. ● The oven will not stop during the BEEP unless the door is opened.14Operating InstructionsDEFROST 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.● 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.● Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to become warm.1POUND DEFROSTThe 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.
15Operating InstructionsMETAL RACKThe 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.CAUTIONGETTING THE BEST COOKING RESULTSTo 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. The time for recipes in this book is based on the normal storage temperature of the food.● 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.

Let stand 5 minutes.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 before cooking is completed, while a dish of peas can be served immediately.17
CARE AND CLEANINGFor best performance and safety, keep the oven clean inside and out-side. Take special care to keep the inner door panel and the oven front frame free of food or grease build-up. Never use rough powder or pads. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out, including the hood bottom cover, with a soft cloth and a warm (not hot) mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry. Use a chrome cleaner and polish on chrome, metal and aluminum surfaces. Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or bacon. Clean your oven weekly or more often, if needed.CLEANING THE GREASE FILTERThe grease filter should be removed and cleaned often, at least once a month.1. To remove grease filter, slide filter to the side. Pull filter downward and push to the other side. The filter will drop out.2. Soak grease filter in hot water and a mild detergent. Rinse well and shake to dry. Do not use ammonia or place in a dishwasher. The aluminum will darken.3. To reinstall the filter, slide it into the side slot, then push up and toward oven center to lock.CHARCOAL FILTER REPLACEMENTIf your oven is vented inside, the charcoal filter should be replaced every 6 to 12 months, and more often if necessary. The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. To order a new charcoal filter, contact the Parts Department at your nearest Authorized Service Center or call 1-800-843-0304 (inside U.S.A) or 1-866-587-2002 (Canada).1.

Cooking UtensilsMICROWAVE UTENSIL GUIDEUSEOVENPROOF 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.DO NOT USEMETAL 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.20
21TroubleshootingTROUBLESHOOTING GUIDEBefore 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: ENJOY YOUR COOKING - - - PRESS OPTION PAD FOR PERSONAL OPTIONS. 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.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.CARE AND CLEANINGFollow 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)
