We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages. This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean: You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions. You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions. All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following: WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave energy: ■ Read all instructions before using the microwave oven. ■ Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” found in this section. ■ The microwave oven must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found in this section. ■ ■ ■ ■ Install or locate the microwave oven only in accordance with the provided Installation Instructions. Some products such as whole eggs in the shell and sealed containers – for example, closed glass jars – may explode and should not be heated in the microwave oven. Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in the microwave oven. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use. Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not be inserted in the microwave oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock. ■ Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn off the pad and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric shock. ■ Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer's recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use. Do not operate the microwave oven if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped. ■ Do not deep fry in oven. Microwavable utensils are not suitable and it is difficult to maintain appropriate deep frying temperatures. ■ ■ Do not use paper products when appliance is operated in the "PAN BROWN" mode. ■ Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven. ■ As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children. The microwave oven should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact nearest authorized service company for examination, repair, or adjustment. ■ Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave oven. ■ SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ■ Do not store the microwave oven outdoors. Do not use this product near water - for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like. ■ See door surface cleaning instructions in the “Oven Care” section. ■ To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity: – Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the microwave oven if paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking. – Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bags in oven. – If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel. – Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY... (a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks. (b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces. (c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) Door (bent), (2) Hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) Door seals and sealing surfaces. (d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel. Electrical Requirements The microwave oven is connected to a 110-volt side of the 240volt circuit required for the lower oven. If the incoming voltage to the microwave oven is less than 110 volts cooking times may be longer. Have a qualified electrician check your electrical system. PARTS AND FEATURES This manual covers different models. The oven you have purchased may have some or all of the parts and features listed. The location and appearance of the features shown here may not match your model. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS ■ For all cord connected appliances: The microwave oven 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. The microwave 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. WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug 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 microwave oven is properly grounded. 10 11 12 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 microwave oven. For a permanently connected appliance: This appliance must be connected to a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor should be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the appliance. ■ SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 1.

Cooking Guide Labels Parts and Features not shown Broiling Grid Convection Grid Crisper Pan and Handle This unit must be connected to a 240-volt circuit. Grids Crisper Pan and Handle ■ Grids will become hot. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling. ■ Never allow the grids to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling or floor. ■ Always use the turntable. ■ Never use another metal object with the grids. ■ Two level cooking is not recommended. ■ See “Assistance or Service” section to reorder. The crisper pan is ideal for rapidly browning and crisping the bottom of the food, such as cookies and pizza. The material coating the bottom absorbs microwaves and transfers the heat to the pan and food. The crisper pan reaches 436°F (210°C) in approximately 3 minutes, at which time it stops absorbing microwaves and holds this optimal frying temperature. ■ The crisper pan will become hot. Always use the handle and oven mitts or pot holders when handling. Broiling Grid (long legs) The broiling grid places food close to the broil element, making it ideal for fast browning of small amounts of food. Use for Broiling only. Convection Grid (short legs) ■ Never allow the crisper pan or handle to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling or floor. ■ Always use the turntable. ■ Never use another metal object with the crisper pan. ■ The crisper pan is designed specifically for this oven. Do not use it in any other oven. ■ Use only wooden or plastic cooking utensils to help prevent scratches. ■ See “Assistance or Service” section to reorder. The convection grid provides optimal heat circulation for High Speed Cooking and Convection Cooking. ELECTRONIC OVEN CONTROL 1. Lower Oven Display 2. Number Pads 3. Upper Oven Display 4. Clock 5.

Cooking Guidelines MICROWAVE OVEN USE Covering A magnetron in the oven produces microwaves which reflect off the metal floor, walls and ceiling and pass through the turntable and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are attracted to and absorbed by fat, sugar and water molecules in the food, causing them to move, producing friction and heat which cooks the food. ■ Never lean on or allow children to swing on the oven door. ■ Do not operate microwave oven when it is empty. ■ Heated liquids can splash out during and after heating. Use of a wooden stir stick placed in the cup or bowl during heating may help to avoid this. ■ The turntable must be in place and correct side up when oven is in use. Do not use if turntable is chipped or broken. See “Assistance or Service” section to reorder. ■ Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in the oven. ■ Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including brown paper bags and newspaper should not be dried in the oven. ■ Do not use the microwave oven for canning, sterilizing or deep frying. The oven cannot maintain appropriate temperatures. Covering food helps retain moisture, shorten cook time and reduce spattering. Use the lid supplied with cookware. If lid is not available, wax paper, paper towels or plastic wrap approved for microwaves may be used. Plastic wrap should be turned back at one corner to provide an opening to vent steam. Stirring and Turning Stirring and turning redistributes heat evenly to avoid overcooking the outer edges of food. Stir from outside to center. If possible, turn food over from bottom to top. Arranging If heating irregularly shaped or different sized foods, the thinner parts and smaller sizes should be arranged toward the center. If cooking several items of the same size and shape, place them in a ring pattern, leaving the center of the ring empty. Piercing Before heating, use a fork or small knife to pierce or prick foods that have a skin or membrane, such as potatoes, egg yolks, chicken livers, hot dogs, and sausage. Prick in several places to allow steam to vent. Shielding ■ Paraffin wax will not melt in the oven because it does not absorb microwaves. Use small, flat pieces of aluminum foil to shield the thin pieces of irregularly shaped foods, bones and foods such as chicken wings, leg tips and fish tail. See “Aluminum Foil and Metal” first. ■ Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from oven. Standing Time ■ Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended cook time, potatoes should be slightly firm. Let potatoes stand for five minutes. They will finish cooking while standing. ■ Do not cook or reheat whole eggs or eggs inside the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time. Food will continue to cook by the natural conduction of heat even after the microwave cycle ends. The length of standing time depends on the volume and density of the food. Food Characteristics When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting temperature, composition and density of the food affect cooking results. Amount of Food The more food heated at once the longer the cook time. Check for doneness and add small increments of time if necessary. Size and Shape Smaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger pieces and uniformly shaped foods cook more evenly than irregularly shaped food. Starting Temperature Room temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated foods and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods. Composition and Density Foods high in fat and sugar will reach a higher temperature and heat faster than other foods. Heavy, dense foods, such as meat and potatoes, require a longer cook time than the same size of a light, porous food, such as cake. 13 Cookware and Dinnerware Cookware and dinnerware must fit on the turntable. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling because any dish may become hot from heat transferred from the food. Do not use cookware and dinnerware with gold or silver trim. Use the following chart as a guide, then test before using. MATERIAL RECOMMENDATIONS Aluminum Foil, Metal See “Aluminum Foil and Metal” section. Browning Dish Bottom must be at least ³⁄₁₆ in. (5 mm) above the turntable. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations. Ceramic Glass, Glass Acceptable for use. China, Earthenware Follow manufacturer’s recommendations. Melamine Follow manufacturer’s recommendations. Paper Towels, Dinnerware, Napkins Use non-recycled and those approved by the manufacturer for microwave oven use. Plastic Wraps, Bags, Covers, Dinnerware, Containers Use those approved by the manufacturer for microwave oven use. Pottery and Clay Follow manufacturer’s recommendations. Styrofoam® Do not use in oven. Straw, Wicker, Wooden Containers Do not use in oven. Wax Paper Acceptable for use. ■ Always use the turntable. ■ Never allow contact with another metal object during cooking. Do Not Use Metal cookware and bakeware, gold, silver, pewter, nonapproved meat thermometers, skewers, twist ties, foil liners such as sandwich wrappers, staples and objects with gold or silver trim or a metallic glaze should not be used in the oven. Cooking Power Many recipes for microwave cooking specify which cooking power to use by percent, name or number. For example, 70%=7=Medium-High. Use the following chart as a general guide for the suggested cooking power of specific foods. PERCENT/ NAME NUMBER USE 100%, High (default setting) 10 Quick heating convenience foods and foods with high water content, such as soups, beverages and most vegetables. 90% Cooking small tender pieces of meat, ground meat, poultry pieces and fish fillets. Heating cream soups. 80% Heating rice, pasta or casseroles. Cooking and heating foods that need a cook power lower than high. For example, whole fish and meat loaf. 70%, Medium-High Reheating a single serving of food. 60% Cooking sensitive foods such as cheese and egg dishes, pudding and custards. Cooking non-stirrable casseroles, such as lasagna. 50%, Medium Cooking ham, whole poultry and pot roasts. Simmering stews. 40% Melting chocolate. Heating bread, rolls and pastries. 30%, Medium-Low, Defrost Defrosting bread, fish, meats, poultry and precooked foods. 20% Softening butter, cheese, and ice cream. 10%, Low Taking chill out of fruit. To Test Cookware or Dinnerware for Microwave Use: 1. Put cookware or dinnerware in oven with 1 cup (250 mL) of water beside it. 2. Cook at 100% cooking power for 1 minute. Do not use cookware or dinnerware if it becomes hot and the water stays cool. Aluminum Foil and Metal Always use oven mitts or pot holders when removing dishes from the microwave oven. Aluminum foil and some metal can be used in the oven. If not used properly, arcing (a blue flash of light) can occur and cause damage to the oven. OK for Use Racks and bakeware supplied with the oven, aluminum foil for shielding, and approved meat thermometers may be used with the following guidelines: ■ Never allow aluminum foil or metal to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling or floor. 14 To Set a Cooking Power other than 100%: 1. 2. 3. 4.
