This appliance must be grounded. In the
event of an electrical short circuit, the
grounding plug reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for
electric current. This appliance 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.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding can result in
a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified
electrician or serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood,
or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance
is properly grounded, and either :
(1) 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
appliance. The marked rating of the
extension cord shall be equal to or greater
than the electrical rating of the appliance. or
(2) Do not use an extension cord, if the
power supply cord is too short, have a
qualified electrician or serviceman install an
outlet near the appliance.
WARNING
Do not cut or remove the third(ground)
prong from the power cord under any
circumstances.
USING AN ADAPTER
Due to potential safety hazards, we strongly
recommend against the use of an adapter
plug. However, if the still elect to use an
adapter, where local codes may permit, a
TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be
made to a properly grounded two prong wall
receptacle by the use of a UL/CSA listed
adapter, which is avilable at most hardware
stores.
GENERAL USE
DO NOT attempt to temper with or make
any adjustment or repair to door, control
panel or any other part of the oven. DO
NOT remove outer case from oven.

AVOID inserting nails, wire, etc. through
any holes in the unit while operating the
oven. Never insert a wire, nails or any other
metal object through the holes on the cavity
or any other holes or gaps because such
objects may cause electric shock and
microwave leakage.
UTENSILS
METAL CONTAINERS or dishes with
metallic rims should not be used.
Arcing may occur.
METAL TWIST-TIE must not be used in
the microwave oven.
DO NOT use SEALED JARS or
NARROW NECK buttles for cooking or
reheating.
They may shatter.
DO NOT use CONVENTIONAL
THERMOMETERS in the microwave
oven.
They may cause arcing.
Remove PLASTIC STORE WRAPS before
cooking or defrosting in the oven.
For FURTHER INFORMATION on proper
cooking utensils, refer to the Introduction in
the Microwave cooking guide.
FOOD
Never use your microwave oven for HOME
CANNING. The oven is not designed to
permit proper canning. Improperly canned
food may spoil and be dangerous to
consume.
COOKING TIMES given in the cooking
guide are APPROXIMATE. Factors that
may affect cooking are: starting
temperature, altitude, volume, size and
shape of foods and utensils used. As you
become familiar with the oven, you will be
able to adjust for these factors.
It is better to UNDERCOOK RATHER
THAN OVENCOOK foods. If food is
undercooked, it can always be returned to
the oven for further cooking. If food is
overcooked, nothing can be done. Always
start with minimum cooking times.
SMALL QUANTITIES of food or foods
with LOW MOISTURE content can burn,
dry out or catch on fire if cooked too long.
DO NOT boil eggs in their shell. Pressure
may build up and the eggs will explode.
Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole acom
squash and sausage are examples of food
with NONPOROUS SKINS. These must be
pierced before cooking to prevent bursting.
POPCORN must be popped in a microwave
corn popper. Microwave popped corn
produces a lower yield than conventional
popping. Do not pop popcorn unless popped
in a microwave approved popcorn utensils
or unless it’s commercially packaged and
recommended especially for microwave
ovens. Do not use oil unless specifed by the
manufacturer.
DO NOT attempt to deep fat fry in your
oven.
HEATED LIQUIDS can ERUPT if not
mixed with air. Do not heat liquids in your
microwave oven without first stirring.

Examine the oven after unpacking.
Check for damage such as a misaligned
door, broken door or dent in the cavity.
If any damage is visible, DO NOT INSTALL,
and notify your dealer immediately.
Level, flat location.
Install the microwave oven on a level, flat surface.
Ventilation.
Do not block air vents. If they are blocked
during operation, the oven may overheat
and eventually cause a failure.
For proper ventilation, allow 3 inches of
space between oven top, sides, rear and
adjacent surfaces. The minimum height of
free space necessary above the top surface
of the oven is 100mm.
Away from radio and TV sets.
Poor television reception and radio
interference may result if the oven is located
close to a TV, radio, antenna, feeder, etc.
Place the oven as far from them as possible.
Away from heating appliances and water taps.
Keep the oven away from heat, steam or
splashing liquids. These things can
adversely affect oven wiring and contacts.
Power supply.
This microwave oven requires a power
supply of approximately 13 Amperes, 120
Volts, 60Hz and a grounded outlet.
A short power cord is provided to reduce the
risk of the user becoming entangled in or
tripping oven longer cord. Longer cord sets
or extension cords are available and may be
used if care to exercised.
If an extension cord is used, the marked
electrical rating of the cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the oven. The
extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire
cord. The longer cord should be arranged so it
does not drape over the table top or counter
where children can pull on it or trip over it.
Turn the oven off before cleaning.
Keep the inside of the oven clean. When
food spatters or spilled liquids adhere to
oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild
detergent may be used if the oven gets very
dirty. The use of harsh detergent or
abrasives is not recommended.
The outside oven surface should be cleaned with
soap and water, rinsed and dried with a soft
cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts
inside the oven, water should not be allowed to
seep into the ventilation openings.
If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean
with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh
detergents or abrasives on Control Panel.
If steam accumulates inside or around the
outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft
cloth. This may occur when the microwave
oven is operated under high humidity
conditions and in no way indicates
malfunction of the unit.
It is occasionally necessary to remove the
glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in
warm sudsy water or in a dishwasher.
The roller guide and oven cavity floor
should be cleaned regularly to avoid
excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom
surface of the oven with mild detergent
water or window cleaner and dry. The roller
guide may be washed in mild sudsy water.

Recommended Use
Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes - Use
for heating or cooking.
Microwave browning dish - Use to brown the exterior
of small items such as steaks, chops, or pancakes.
Follow the directions provided with you browning dish.
Microwaveable 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 toil 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.
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 sdishes. 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 microwave energy. This is especially
important with large items such as roatsts.
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 INFORMATION
➪Put the food on a microwave rack (roasts, bone-in pieces) or in a microwave casserole (small pieces
such as cubes or strips) or weigh at home on a kitchen scale. Round number to the nearest tenth of a
pound and choose that number with each item pads.
➪The shape of food items, especially larger ones, will vary affect the way defrost. Always check the
status after the standing time. Fish, seafood and poultry should still be somewhat icy in the center the
held under cold running water to finish defrosting. If more time is needed, use DEFROST by time to
add time in small increments.
➪Halfway through the defrosting process, a series of beeps will indicate that it is time to change the
position of the item being defrosted. The includes turning over or rotating the item, separating
defrosted pieces or sections, or shielding.
➪Shielding means to use a 2-inch strip of aluminum foil to protect thinner or unevenly shaped part
from beginning to cook. Microwave energy will not penetrate the foil. Some rules apply to the use of
foil:
Do not let the foil pieces touch each other or the sides of the microwave oven.
Be sure that all ends are touched under and lie flat to the food.
Remember to adjust foil when a item is turned over and cover with wax paper.
➪To prepare food for freezer storage(and later defrosting), wrap tightly in moisture proof packaging. If
using freezer plastic bags, be sure to let all the air out to prevent freezer bump on the food. Package
so that food is as evenly shaped as possible ease in defrosting

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
* Q : I accidentally ran my microwave oven without any food
in it. Is it damaged?
* A : Running the oven empty for a short time will not
damage the oven. However, it is not recommended.
* Q : Can the oven be used with the glass tray or roller guide
removed?
* A : No. Both the glass tray and roller guide must always be
used in the oven before cooking.
* Q : Can I open the door when the oven is operating?
* A : The door can be opened anytime during the cooking
operation. Then microwave energy will be instantly
switched off and the time setting will maintain until the
door is closed.
* Q : Why do I have moisture in my microwave oven after
cooking?
* A : The moisture on the side of your microwave oven is
normal. It is caused by steam from cooking food hitting
the cool oven surface.
* Q : Does microwave energy pass through the viewing
screen in the door?
* A : No. The metal screen bounces back the energy to the
oven cavity. The holes are made to allow light to pass
through. They do not let microwave energy pass
through.
* Q : Why do eggs sometimes pop?
* A : When baking or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due
to steam build-up inside the yolk membrane. To prevent
this, simply pierce the yolk with a toothpick before
cooking. Never cook eggs without piercing their shells.
* Q : Why this standing time recommended after the cooking
operation has been completed?
* A : Standing time is very important.
With microwave cooking, the heat is in the food, not in
the oven. Many foods build up enough internal heat to
allow the cooking process to continue, even after the
food is removed from the oven. Standing time for joints
of meat, large vegetables and cakes is to allow the inside
to cook completely, without overcooking the outside.
* Q : What does “standing time” mean?
* A : “Standing time” means that food should be removed
from the oven and covered for additional time to allow it
to finish cooking. This frees the oven for other cooking.
* Q : Why does my oven not always cook as fast as the
microwave cooking guide says?
* A : Check your cooking guide again, to make sure you’ve
followed directions exactly ; and to see what might
cause variations in cooking time. Cooking guide times
and heat settings are suggestions, to help prevent over-
cooking... the most common problem in getting used to
a microwave oven.
Variations in the size, shape and weights and dimensions
could require longer cooking time. Use your own
judgement along with the cooking guide suggestions to
check whether the food has been properly cooked just as
you would do with a conventional cooker.
* Q : Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates
while empty?
* A : Yes. Never run it empty.
* Q : Can I operate my microwave oven without the turntable
or turn the turntable over to hold a large dish?
* A : No. If you remove or turn over the turntable, you will
get poor cooking results. Dishes used in your oven must
fit on the turntable.
* Q : Is it normal for the turntable to turn in either direction?
* A : Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or
counterclockwise, depending on the rotation of the
motor when the cooking cycle begins.
* Q : Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven? How do I
get the best results?
* A : Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following
manufacture’s guidelines or use the preset POPCORN
pad. Do not use regular paper bags. Use the “listening
test” by stopping the oven as soon as the popping slows
to a “pop” every 1 or 2 seconds. Do not repop unpopped
kernels. Do not pop popcorn in glass cookware.
