Important Safety Instructions
WWAARRNNIINNGG
----To reduce the risk of burns,
electric shock, fire, injury to persons or
exposure to excessive microwave energy:
3
f. Do not overcook potatoes. They may dehydrate and
catch fire.
g. Do not use for drying clothes, linens, newspaper or
similar non-food type items.
21. Do not operate the oven when empty or with an empty
utensil to avoid damage to the voen and danger of fire.
22. Do not lean on the oven door. The door is designed to
close tightly and seal properly for safe operation.
Leaning on the door may warp or break the hinges.
23. To avoid exposure to dangerous high voltage, DO
NOT REMOVE THE SPLATTER SHIELD inside
the oven cavity.
24. Liquids heated in certain shaped containers (especially
cylindrical-shaped containers) may become overheated
and splash out with a loud noise. For best results, stir
the liquid several times before heating. Always stir
liquids several times between reheatings.
25. Read and follow specific microwave oven
preparation instructions on food packages or
containers (especially baby food). Above all, this is a
cooking appliance designed to prepare food.
26. Use only cooking utensils and accessories made for use
in the microwave and specifically described in this
manual.
27. Microwave oven manufacturesrs do not recommend
deep fat frying or frying in a microwave oven. Hot oil
can damage oven parts and utensils and even result in
sking burns.
28. Plastic wrap: Use only those types designed for
microwave oven use and avoid forming an air-tight
seal. Fold back a small corner or cut a small slit to
allow steam to excape.
29. Stay near the appliance while it is in use and check
cooking progress frequently. Leaving the appliance
unattended may reslut in overcooked food and possibly
a fire in your oven.
30. Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may tend to
boil over more rapidly than foods containing less
moisture. Should this occur, refer to the Care and
Cleaning section for insturctions on how to clean the
inside of the oven.
31. Do not use a thermometer in food you are microwaving
unless the thermometer is designed or recommended
for use in the microwave oven.
32. Plastic cookware designed for microwave cooking is
very useful, but should be used carefully. Even
microwave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of
overcooking conditions as are glass or ceramic
materials and may soften or char if subjected to short
periods of overcooking. In longer exposures to
overcooking, the food and cookware could ignite. For
these reasons: 1) Use microwave-safe plastics only and
use them in strict compliance with the cookware
manufacturer’s recommendations. 2) Do not subject
empty cookware to microwaving. 3) Do not permit
children to use plastic cookware without complete
supervision.
33. Do not stor anythig directly on top of the microwave
oven surface when the oven is in operation.
34. TV dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less than
3/4” deep; remove top foil cover and return tray to box.
When using metal in microwave oven, keep metal at
least 1 inch away from the sides of the oven.
35. Do not defrost frozen beverages in harrow necked
bottles.
36. Cookware may become hot because of heat transferred
from the heated food. Potholders may be needed to
handle the cookware.
37. Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven. Paraffin
wax will not melt in a microwave oven because it
allows microwaves to pass through it.
38. Never use sharp-edged utensils in or near the oven.
39. Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when
opening containers of hot food, including popcorn
bags, cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent possible
injury, direct steam away from hands and face.
40. Clean the vent hood often. Do not allow agease to build
up on the hood or the filter.
41. Use care when cleaning the vent hood filter. Corrosive
cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may
damage the filter.
42. Whjen flaming foods are under the hood, turn the fan
off. The fan, if operating may spread the flame.

Remove all packing materials both outside and inside the
oven before using the oven. The oven requires free
movement of air for proper operation. Do NOT block air
vents located by the top air grill and underneath the oven.
Grounding Instructions
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
plugged into a 120v, 15amp. outlet that is properly installed
and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood or if
doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded.
Where standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered,
it is your personal reponsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall
receptacle.
Do not under any circumstance cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the power cord. Do not use an adapter
plug with this appliance. See pages 1 and 2 of the
Installation Manual for acceptable extension cord
specifications.
Interfer ence Note
Microwave ovens generate radio frequency energy during
operation and if not installed properly may cause
interference to radio and television reception. You can
determine if this unit is causing interference by turning it
on and off while the interference is occurring. If
interference occurs, it may be corrected by one or more of
the following measures:
◆clean door and seal surfaces of the oven;
◆reorient the television or radio receiving antenna;
◆the oven with respect to the television or radio
receiver, and/or
◆Plugthe oven into a different oulet so that it and the
television or radio receiver are on different circuits.
If the interference persists, you may want to consult an
experienced redio/television technician for additional
Installation Recommendations
Cooking appliances installed under the microwave oven
may, under some heavy usage conditions, cause
temperatures high enough to overheat some internal parts
of the microwave oven.
To prevent overheating from taking place, the exhaust fan
is designed to automatically turn on at a low speed if
excessive temperatures occur. Should this happen, the fan
cannot be manually turned off, but it will automatically
turn off when the internal parts have cooled. The fan may
stay on for up to an hour after the range and microwave
oven controls have been turned off.
Automatic Fan Pr otection fe ature
◆Make sure all cokware used in your microwave oven is
suitale for microwaving. Most glass cooking dishes,
measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china
dinnerware, which does not have metallic trim or glaze
with metallic sheen, can be used.
◆If you are not sure if a dish is microwave-safe, use this
test: Place in teh oven the dish you are testing and a
glass measuring cup filled with one cup of water. Set the
measuring cup either in or next to the dish.
Microwave 1 minute at high. If the dish heats, it should
not be used for microwaving. If the dish remains cool
and only the water in the cup heats, then the dish is
microwave-safe.
◆Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap can be used
to cover dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent
spattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap so steam can
escape.

Operating Basics
Pow er Level Cooking Guide
The power levels on your microwave oven can be
compared to the surface units on a range. High (power
level 10) or full power is the fastest way to cook and gives
you 100% power.
Each power level gives you microwave energy for a certain
percent of time, for example, power level 7 is microwave
energy 70% of the time. Most of your cooking will be done
on High (Power Level 10). a lower sutting will cook more
evenly and with less attention given to stirring or rotating
the food. Some foods may have better flavor, texture or
appearance if one of the lower settings is used. You may
wish ot use a lower level when cooking foods that have a
tendency to boil over, such as scalloped potatoes. Cooking
times will increase as power level decreases.
Kitchen Timer
◆The timer can be programmed up to 99 minutes and 99
seconds.
◆Three beeps signal the end of the timing operation.
◆To stop the timer once it has started, touch the
STOP/CLEAR Pad twice. Display will return to the
time of day or cooking program.
◆The timer cannot be set while cooking.
◆The door must be shut for the timer to operate.

General Defrosting Tips
1. Do not defrost covered meat. Covering might allow
cooking to take place. Always remove outer wrap and
tray. Place food on a microwave-safe rack in a dish.
2. Begin defrosting whole poultry breast-side-down. Begin
defrosting rasts fat-side-down.
3. The shape of the package alters the defrosting time.
Shallow rectangular shapes defrost more quickly than a
deep block.
4. Auto Defrost is programmed for specific weights.
Defrost results will be affected if you enter an incorrect
weight.
5. Auto Defrost is programmed for frozen food at 0˚ F. If
food is stored at a higher temperature, expect shorter
defrost times.
6. After 1/3 of the defrost time has elapsed, check the food.
You may wish to turn over, break apart, rearrange or
remove thawed portions of the food.
7. During Auto Defrost, the oven will prompt you to
turn the food over. At this point, open oven door and
check the food. Follow the techniques listed below for
optimum defrost results. Then, close oven door, touch
the START Pad to complete defrosting.
◆ Turn Over: Roast, ribs, whole poultry, turkey breasts,
hot dogs, sausages, steaks, or chops.
◆ Rearrange: Break apart or separate steaks, chops,
hamburger patties, ground meat, chicken or seafood
pieces, chunks of meat such as stew beef.
◆ Shield: Use small strips of aluminum foil to protect
thin areas or edges of unevenly shaped foods such as
chicken wings. To prevent arching, do not allow foil
to come within 1-inch of oven walls or door.
◆ Remove: To prevent cooking, thawed portions should
be removed from the oven at this point. This may
shorten defrost time for foods weighing less than 3-
lbs.
8. After defrosting, allow food to stand 5 to 10 minutes if
there are any icy areas. If large solid roasts, such as
sirloin tip or rump roasts, are not completely thawed
after standing, return roast to oven and program Auto
Defrost for 1 lb.
