5Electrical RequirementsThe microwave oven is connected to a 110-volt side of the 240-volt 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.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. ■ 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.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.SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.■Paraffin wax will not melt in the oven because it does not absorb microwaves.■Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from oven.■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 build-up in whole eggs may cause them to burst. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time.Food CharacteristicsWhen microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting temperature, composition and density of the food affect cooking results.Amount of FoodThe more food heated at once the longer the cook time. Check for doneness and add small increments of time if necessary.Size and ShapeSmaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger pieces and uniformly shaped foods cook more evenly than irregularly shaped food. Starting TemperatureRoom temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated foods and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods.Composition and DensityFoods 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.
9Cooking GuidelinesCoveringCovering 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 TurningStirring 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.ArrangingIf 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.PiercingBefore 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.ShieldingUse 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.Standing TimeFood 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.Cookware and DinnerwareCookware 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.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 MetalAlways 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 UseRacks 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.■Always use the turntable. ■Never allow contact with another metal object during cooking.Do Not UseMetal cookware and bakeware, gold, silver, pewter, non-approved 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.MATERIAL RECOMMENDATIONSAluminum Foil, MetalSee “Aluminum Foil and Metal” section.Browning Dish Bottom must be at least ³⁄₁₆ in.
