c. door seals and sealing surfaces.

1. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the oven be provided.

WARNING – Improper use of grounding can result in a risk of electric shock. DO NOT cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord under any circumstances.

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.

A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of the user becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. 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 electrical rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. The longer cord should be arranged so it does not drape over the table top or counter when children can pull on it or trip over it.

Alternately, 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.

Using an Adapter

Due to potential safety hazards, we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug. However, if you choose to use an adapter, where local codes may permit, a temporary connection may be made to a properly grounded two prong wall outlet by the use of a cUL/CSA listed adapter, which is available at most hardware stores.

GENERAL USE

Arcing

Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. If you see arcing, press the Stop/Clear pad immediately and correct the problem. Arcing is caused by the following:

1. Metal or foil touching the side of the microwave
2. Upturned edges of foil not wrapped around the food
3. Metals in the microwave such as twist ties, meat pins or metal rimmed dishes
4. Recycled paper towels

Guidelines and safety tips for microwave cooking:

1. DO NOT use sealed jars or narrow neck bottles for cooking or reheating. They may shatter.
2. Remove plastic store wrap before cooking or defrosting foods in the oven.
3. Avoid inserting nails, wire, etc. through any holes in the unit during operation. Never insert a wire, nail or any other metal objects through the holes on the cavity or any other holes or gaps, because such objects may cause electric shock and microwave leakage.
4. Remove the wire twist-ties and metal handles from paper or plastic containers/bags before placing them in the oven.
5. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars should be stirred or shaken and the temperature should be checked before serving in order to avoid burns.
6. Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Potholders may be needed to handle the utensil.
7. Use only thermometers that are specifically designed for use in microwave ovens.
8. DO NOT operate any heating or cooking appliances beneath this appliance.
9. The glass tray and roller ring must be in place when you operate the oven.
10. 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.
11. Cooking times given in the cooking guide are approximate. Factors that may affect cooking are starting temperature, altitude, volume, size and shape of food and utensils used. As you become familiar with the oven, you will be able to adjust for these factors.
12. DO NOT overcook food. 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.
13. Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture content can burn, dry out or catch on fire if cooked too long.

14. DO NOT boil eggs in their shell. Pressure may build up and the eggs may explode.

15. Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole acorn squash and sausage are some examples of food with NONPOROUS SKINS. These must be pierced before cooking to prevent bursting.

16. POPCORN must be popped in a microwave corn popper. Microwave popped corn produces a lower yield than conventional popping. DO NOT use oven for popcorn unless popped in a microwave approved popcorn utensil or unless it's commercially packaged and recommended especially for microwave ovens. DO NOT use oil unless specified by the manufacturer.
17. HEATED LIQUIDS can ERUPT if not mixed with air. DO NOT heat liquids in your microwave oven without first stirring.
18. DO NOT attempt to tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to oven door, control panel or any other part of the oven. DO NOT remove outer casing from oven.
19. Pot Holders should always be used when removing items from the oven. Heat is transferred from hot food to the cooking container and from the container to the Glass Tray. The Glass Tray can also be very hot after removing the cooking container from the oven.

UTENSILS

CAUTION:

Personal Injury Hazard

Tightly closed utensils could explode. Closed containers should be opened and plastic pouches should be pierced before cooking.

HELPFUL HINTS

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.

Arranging Food

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 delicate areas of food 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 dishes. 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 foods such as roasts.

Standing

Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue to cook for a few minutes after heating stops. Let foods stand to complete cooking, especially foods such as cakes and whole vegetables. Roasts need this time to complete cooking in the centre without overcooking the outer areas. Let all liquids, such as soup, water or hot chocolate stand for one minute then stir before serving. When heating baby food, stir after warming then test the temperature before serving. 20

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 in cooking.

CARE AND CLEANING

1. Allow the Turntable to cool, remove and wash in warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher. NOTE: Do not put the hot Turntable directly in water immediately after cooking as it may crack.
2. Remove the Roller Ring and wash in warm soapy water. Let dry before reinstalling in the oven.
3. Food splatters or spilled liquids in the oven cavity should be cleaned after each use. Wipe with a damp cloth. Do not use any sprays or other harsh cleaners. If food has adhered to the oven walls, heat up to two cups of water with lemon juice at high power for 4 minutes or until boiling. Let stand in the microwave for 3 minutes. Remove. Wipe out the oven cavity with a damp cloth.
4. The outside surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.
5. Wipe the glass door on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any splatters.
6. Wipe the Control Panel with a soft damp cloth. Do not allow the Control Panel to become wet. NOTE: When cleaning the Control Panel leave the oven door open to prevent oven from accidentally turning on or activate the Child Lock.
