- Do not do home canning in this microwave oven as it is impossible to be sure all contents of the jar have reached boiling temperature.
- Do not use this microwave oven for commercial purposes. This microwave oven is made for household use only.
- To prevent eruptive boiling of hot liquids and beverages or scalding yourself, stir liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through cooking time. Let stand in the oven for a short time and stir again before removing the container.
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 appliance.
- Read and follow the specific "PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY" on page 2.
- As with most cooking appliances, close supervision is necessary to reduce the risk of a fire in the oven cavity.
If materials inside the oven ignite:
- Keep the oven door closed
• Turn the oven off, and - Disconnect the power cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
Keep in mind the following rules at all times:
a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the appliance when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
b. Do not use the oven cavity for storage purposes. Do not store combustible items such as bread, cookies, paper products, etc. inside the oven. If lightning strikes the power line, the oven may turn on by itself.
c. Remove wire twist-ties and metal handles from paper or plastic containers/bags before placing them in the oven.
4. This oven must be grounded.
Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See "GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS" on page 6.
5. Install or locate this oven only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.
6. Some products such as whole eggs, water with oil or fat, sealed containers and closed glass jars may explode and therefore should not be heated in this oven.
- Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in the manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This oven is specifically designed to heat or cook food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.
- As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
- Do not operate this oven if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly or if it has been damaged or dropped.

- Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. This could result in very hot liquids suddenly boiling over when the container is disturbed or a spoon or other utensil is inserted into the liquid.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

DANGER
Electric Shock Hazard
- Touching some of the internal components can cause serious personal injury or death. Do not disassemble this appliance.

Three-pronged (grounding) plug

natural_image
Illustration of a power plug connecting two wall-mounted electrical outlets (no text or symbols)Properly polarized and grounded outlet
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 an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-pronged grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance.
- A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
- Longer cord sets or extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
- If a long cord or extension cord is used:
1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2) The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

COOKING GUIDE
COOKING PRINCIPLES AND TECHNIQUES
Advantages of microwave cooking are speed and efficiency. For warming, heating, and defrosting, nothing compares. Here are a few tips that will make microwaving easier and more enjoyable.
Microwave Cooking Principles
Because microwave cooking requires only one-quarter to one-third the time of conventional cooking, cooking principles become even more important.
Quantity
In microwave cooking, the cooking time is dependent on the amount of food in the oven. If you double the recipe, plan on doubling the cooking time.
Density
Dense foods, such as potatoes, need more cooking time as they take longer for microwave energy to penetrate and for the heat to be conducted through them.
Shape and Size
Cut food into uniform shapes and sizes for even cooking in the microwave. When cooking irregular shapes (such as chicken pieces), place the thicker parts to the outer edge of the dish.
Moisture, Sugar and Fat
Food high in moisture, sugar or fat cook faster. Add a minimum of liquid to moisten foods.
An excess amount of water slows cooking.
Starting Temperature
Frozen or refrigerated foods take longer to microwave than food at room temperature.
Delicate Ingredients
Delicate foods such as eggs, cheese, mayonnaise, etc., cook very quickly, and should be watched carefully.
Microwave Cooking Techniques
Arranging:
Arrange food in a circular pattern, with denser, thicker items at the edge of the dish.
Piercing:
Pierce the membrane of foods such as eggs, oysters, snails, sausages, livers, clams and whole vegetables, so they do not burst.
Reheating:
Cooked food reheats extremely well by using a low level of microwave energy. Place denser foods near the outer edge of the dish when reheating.
Covering:
Most foods will cook and reheat better when covered. Pierce plastic wrap to vent steam.
Stirring:
Stirring foods help them cook more quickly and evenly.
Turning Over:
To promote more even cooking, turn large, solid items such as roasts or baked potatoes over halfway through the cooking time.
Shielding:
Use small, smooth strips of aluminum foil to prevent corners, thin or bony areas from overcooking.
Standing Time:
Foods continue cooking even after removal from the oven. Standing time is necessary to allow foods to complete cooking/defrosting.
Converting Recipes:
Microwave recipes will likely call for less liquid and cooking time.
Microwave Thermometers:
A microwave-safe thermometer can be used to achieve the best results. Insert the thermometer carefully and properly into the food. The guide below gives suggested thermometer readings for meat and poultry. Keep in mind that standing time is essential for most food to reach its proper serving temperature.
Guide to Internal Temperatures
| 140°F (60°C) | Rare beef |
| 150°F (66°C) | Vegetables, hot drinks,soups, casseroles |
| 160°F (71°C) | Medium beef, lamb,veal |
| 165°F (74°C) | Well-done beef, lamb |
| 170°F (77°C) | Whole fish |
| 185°F (85°C) | Well-done pork,poultry pieces orroasted bird |

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q. When the oven is plugged into a wall outlet for the first time, it does not work properly. What is wrong?
A. The microcomputer used in the oven control may temporarily become scrambled and fail to function as programmed. Unplug the oven from the wall outlet and then plug it back in. The microcomputer will then reset for proper functioning.
Q. Why is there noise coming from the turntable when the oven is turned on?
A. This noise occurs when the turntable roller rest and cavity bottom are dirty. Clean the turntable roller rest cavity bottom. Frequent cleaning of these parts should eliminate or reduce the noise.
Q. Why is there noise coming from the oven when reducing power?
A. When cooking with a power other than maximum (PL 10), the oven cycles to obtain the lower power level. The clicking noise can be heard when the oven cycles on and off. This is normal.
Q. Why is there steam coming out of the air exhaust vent?
A. Steam is produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been made to vent this steam.
Q. What is wrong when the oven light will not glow?
A. There may be several reasons why the oven light will not glow. The light bulb has burned out or START has not been pressed.
Q. Why do eggs sometimes pop?
A. The egg yolk may pop because of steam build-up inside the membrane. Pierce the membrane with a toothpick before cooking it. Never microwave eggs in the shell since they may explode.
Q. How are boil-overs avoided?
A. Use a larger utensil than usual for cooking. If you open the oven door or touch STOP/CLEAR, the food will stop boiling.
CLEANING
Wipe the oven inside and outside with a soft cloth and a mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry. This should be done on a weekly basis, more often if needed. Never use cleaning powders or rough pads. Excessive oil splatters on the inside top will be difficult to remove if left for many days. Wipe splatters with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or bacon.
REMOVABLE PARTS
The following parts may be removed as described. They should be washed in warm (not hot) water with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Once they are clean, rinse them well and dry with a soft cloth. Never use cleaning powders, steel wool or rough pads.
- The turntable may be cleaned at the sink. Be careful not to chip or scratch the edges as this may cause the turntable to break during use.
- The turntable roller rest should be cleaned regularly.
SPECIAL CARE
For best performance and safety, the inner door panel and the oven front frame should be free of food or grease buildup. Wipe them often with a mild detergent. Then rinse and wipe dry. Never use cleaning powders or rough pads.
After cleaning the control panel, press STOP/CLEAR to clear any entries that might have been entered accidentally while cleaning the panel.
