MICROWAVE OVEN SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
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

Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances. A 120 Volt, 60 Hz,
AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused electrical supply is required. (A
time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.) It is
recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance
be provided.
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.
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.

Oven Cavity Coating
The oven has a special easy-to-clean and durable coating which
resists soil buildup by making cleaning easier than in
conventional microwave ovens. For cleaning information, see
“General Cleaning” in the “Oven Care” section.
Ultra Heatwave Technology
The microwave system uses Ultra Heatwave Technology, which
delivers a constant stream of microwave power – true high,
medium and low power.
Typically, microwave ovens operate on HIGH power only. For
example, to achieve a 50% power level (“medium”) in a typical
microwave oven, the oven operates 50% of the time at HIGH
power and 50% of the time OFF.
In contrast, microwave ovens utilizing Ultra Heatwave
Technology deliver the selected power level continuously. This
constant stream of microwave power helps to minimize
overcooking of foods and messy food spatters.
Additionally, the oven uses a 1,000-watt halogen bulb with a 500watt quartz bulb together to serve as the grill element for various
cooking functions. When this element is in use, it produces a
bright light in the oven cavity, and causes the cavity and door to
become hot. The use of oven mitts is recommended.
To Turn Turntable Off:
The turntable can be turned off (except during an auto function or
Custom Grill). This is helpful when cooking with plates that are
larger than the turntable, or when cooking with two 10¼ in.
(26 cm) plates that are side-by-side.
1. Touch TURNTABLE ON/OFF.
“TURNTABLE OFF” will appear in the display. The turntable will
turn back on automatically when cooking is over or OFF/CANCEL
is touched.
Cooking Rack
The cooking rack is ideal for two-level cooking. It provides extra
cavity space for cooking 2 or more containers at the same time.
Insert the rack securely into the rack supports on the side walls of
the oven. To reorder rack, call 1-800-4-MY-HOME®. See
“Replacement Parts” section for part number.
Sensor Cooking
The microwave system with Ultra Heatwave Technology features
sensor cooking functions. A humidity sensor in the oven cavity
detects moisture and humidity emitted from food as it heats. The
sensor adjusts cooking times to various types and amounts of
food. Sensor cooking takes the guesswork out of microwave
cooking.
The oven must be plugged in for at least 3 minutes prior to
sensor cooking.
■
Rack will become hot. Always use oven mitts or pot holders
when handling.
■
Do not allow the rack to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling
or floor.
■
Do not use metal cookware, utensils, or a browning dish with
the rack.
■
Do not let food container on rack touch the top or sides of the
oven.
■
Do not use Skillette Pan on rack.
■
Remove rack before using Grill function.
■
Remove rack before using Popcorn function.
■
The rack is designed specifically for this oven. Do not use it in
any other oven.
■
Do not cook food directly on the rack. Always use a
microwave-safe container.
■
Use the rack only when cooking on 2 levels. Do not store it in
the oven. Damage to the oven could result if someone
accidentally turns on the oven.
Turntable

Skillette Pan and Handle
To Install:
1. Remove tape from the hub.
2. Place the support on the oven cavity bottom.
3. Place the turntable on the support.
Fit the raised, curved lines in the center of the turntable
bottom between the 3 spokes of the hub. The rollers on the
support should fit inside the turntable bottom ridge.
The Skillette Pan, with a non-stick surface and a detachable
handle, has been specially designed for microwave use, and is
ideal for pan-frying (pan-browning) foods in the oven. The
Skillette Pan is also used as a drip pan for grilling.
Use the handle to grasp the pan. Place gripping end on the edge
of pan, squeeze handle and lift pan.

MICROWAVE OVEN USE
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.
Reheat
Ultra
Defrost
■
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.

CHOICES
The turntable must be in place and correct side up when
oven is in use. Do not use if turntable is chipped or broken.
Call 1-800-4-MY-HOME® to reorder. See “Replacement
Parts” section for part numbers.
■
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 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.
■
Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam
buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst. Cover
poached eggs and allow a standing time.

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.
12
MATERIAL
RECOMMENDATIONS
Pottery and Clay
Follow manufacturer’s recommendations.
Covering
Styrofoam®
Do not use in oven.
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
1 corner to provide an opening to vent steam.
Straw, Wicker,
Wooden
Containers
Do not use in oven.
Wax Paper
Acceptable for use.
Cooking Guidelines
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.
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
Shielding
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.
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.
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.
