This appliance must be grounded. This oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a
grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. In the event of an electri-
cal short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric
current.
WARNINGWARNING
WARNINGWARNING
WARNING – Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Electrical RequirementsElectrical Requirements
Electrical RequirementsElectrical Requirements
Electrical Requirements
The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp. or more
protected electrical supply. It is recommended that a separate circuit serv-
ing only this appliance be provided.
The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged
into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded. Should you
only have a 2-prong outlet, have a qualified electrician install a correct wall
receptacle.
A 3-prong adapter may be purchased and used temporarily if local codes
allow. Follow package directions.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of becoming entangled
in or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension CordExtension Cord
Extension CordExtension Cord
Extension Cord
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord
that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept
the plug on the microwave oven. The marked rating of the extension cord
should be AC 115-120 volt, 15 amp. or more.
Be careful not to drape the cord over the countertop or table where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

FOOD
This Operation Manual is valuable: read it carefully and
always save it for reference.
Good recipes are included in this operation manual.
Check them as well as this section for cooking principles,
techniques, hints.
NEVERNEVER
NEVERNEVER
NEVER use the oven without the turntable and sup-
port nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could
be placed in the oven. Only remove for cleaning or for the
menus specified in this manual. The turntable will turn
both clockwise and counterclockwise.
ALWAYSALWAYS
ALWAYSALWAYS
ALWAYS have food in the oven when it is on to ab-
sorb the microwave energy.
When using the oven at power levels below 100%, you
may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is normal
for the exterior of the oven to be warm to the touch when
cooking or reheating.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking.
Room humidity and the moisture in food will influence the
amount of moisture that condenses in the oven. Gener-
ally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation
as uncovered ones. Vents on the oven back must not be
blocked.
After using, the cooling fan may come on to cool the
oven cavity. The display will show COOLING, and you
will hear the sound of the fan.
Unlike microwave-only ovens, your oven may become
hot during cooking. Be cautious.
The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be
used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your oven is rated 650 watts by using the IEC Test
Procedure. In using recipes or package directions, check
food a minute or two before the minimum time and add
time accordingly.

ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
・Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards
outside of dish.
・Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount
of time indicated and add more as needed. Food
severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
・Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cook-
book for suggestions: paper towels, wax paper,
microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent
spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
・Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any
thin areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking
before dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.
・Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice
during cooking, if possible.
・Turn foods over once during microwaving to
speed cooking of such foods as chicken and ham-
burgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over
at least once.
INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
・Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway
through cooking both from top to bottom and from
the center of the dish to the outside.
・Add standing time. Remove food from oven and
stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allows
the food to finish cooking without overcooking.
・Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that
cooking temperatures have been reached.
Doneness signs include:
- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
- Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
-Poultry thigh joints move easily.
-Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
-Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
・Check foods to see that they are cooked to the
United States Department of Agriculture's
recommended temperatures.
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a
thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER
leave the thermometer in the food during cooking,
unless using a microwave thermometer when cooking
with only microwave power.
・ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when
handling utensils that are in contact with hot food.
Enough heat from the food can transfer through
utensils to cause skin burns.
・Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from
the face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of
a dish's covering and carefully open popcorn and
oven cooking bags away from the face.
・Stay near the oven while it's in use and check
cooking progress frequently so that there is no
chance of overcooking food.
・NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or
other items.
・Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve
its high quality and minimize the spread of
foodborne bacteria.
・Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can
cause arcing and/or fires.
・Use care when removing items from the oven so
that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not
touch the safety door latches.

ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVEABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE
ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE
Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave
oven with a supervising person very near to them. Be-
tween the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person
should be in the same room.
The child must be able to reach the oven comfortably; if
not, he/she should stand on a sturdy stool.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on
the oven door.
• The oven cabinet, cavity, door, accessories and
dishes will become hot. To PREVENT BURNS, use
thick oven gloves when removing the food or
turntable from the oven.
• When preheating, the turntable can be left in or
removed. When preheat is over, open oven door and
quickly place turntable and foods to be baked inside.
• Do not cover turntable with aluminum foil.
• Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils for
many items. Choose pans that do not have extended
handles.

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the
EXPRESS DEFROST CHART or is above or below the
limits in the “Amount” column on the EXPRESS DE-
FROST CHART, you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previ-
ously cooked, by using 30% Power Level. See page
10. Estimate defrosting time and press MICRO 4 times
for 30% when you select the power level.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the
rule of thumb is approximately 5 minutes per pound.
For example, defrost 5 minutes for 1 pound of frozen
spaghetti sauce.
Always stop the oven periodically to remove or sepa-
rate the portions that are defrosted. If food is not
defrosted at the end of the estimated defrosting
time, program the oven in 1 minute increments at 30%
until totally defrosted.
When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost
only long enough to remove from the plastic in order
to place in a microwave-safe dish.

Spatters may occur because of moisture and grease.
Wash immediately after use with hot, soapy water.
Rinse and polish dry. Harder to remove spatters may
occur if oven is not thoroughly cleaned or if there is
long time/high temperature cooking. If so, you may
wish to purchase an oven cleaner pad with liquid
cleaner within it--not a soap filled steel pad--for use on
stainless or porcelain surfaces. Follow manufacturer's
directions carefully and be especially cautious not to
get any of the liquid cleaner in the perforations on the
wall or ceiling or any door surfaces.
Rinse thoroughly and polish dry. After cleaning the
interior thoroughly, residual grease may be removed
from the interior ducts and heater by simply operating
the oven on 400°F. for 20 minutes without food.
Ventilate the room if necessary.

The turntable and turntable support can be removed
for easy cleaning. Remove the turntable support care-
fully to prevent breaking the top heater. Wash them in
mild, sudsy water; for stubborn stains use a mild
cleanser and a non-abrasive scouring sponge. They
are also dishwasher-proof. Use upper rack of dish-
washer. The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so
excess water or spills should be wiped up immedi-
ately.
