DANGER
DANGER – Immediate hazards which WILL result in severe personal injury or death.
WARNING
WARNING – Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in severe personal injury or death.
CAUTION
CAUTION – Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in minor personal injury.
WARNING
Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. 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 A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
- Do not overheat the liquid.
- Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
- Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
- After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.
- Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

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 oven door close properly and that there is no damage to:
1. door (bent),
2. hinges and latches (broken or loosened),
3. door seals and sealing surfaces.
D. Oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe the following:
- Do not deep fat fry in oven. Fat could overheat and be hazardous to handle.
- Do not cook or reheat eggs in shell or with an unbroken yolk using microwave energy. Pressure may build up and erupt. Pierce yolk with fork or knife before cooking.
- Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes, and similar foods before cooking with microwave energy. When skin is pierced, steam escapes evenly.
- Do not operate oven without load or food in oven cavity.
- Use only popcorn in packages designed and labeled for microwave use. Popping time varies depending on oven wattage. Do not continue to heat after popping has stopped. Popcorn will scorch or burn. Do not leave oven unattended.
- Do not use regular cooking thermometers in oven. Most cooking thermometers contain mercury and may cause an electrical arc, malfunction, or damage to oven.
- Do not use metal utensils in oven.
- Never use paper, plastic, or other combustible materials that are not intended for cooking.
- When cooking with paper, plastic, or other combustible materials, follow manufacturer's recommendations on product use.
- Do not use paper towels which contain nylon or other synthetic fibers. Heated synthetics could melt and cause paper to ignite.
- Do not heat sealed containers or plastic bags in oven. Food or liquid could expand quickly and cause container or bag to break. Pierce or open container or bag before cooking.
- To avoid pacemaker malfunction, consult physician or pacemaker manufacturer about effects of microwave energy on pacemaker.
WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock or death, this oven must be grounded and plug must not be altered.
Grounding Instructions

Oven MUST be grounded. Grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current if an electrical short occurs. This 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. See Installation Instructions.
Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the oven is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the product power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install a three-slot receptacle. This oven should be plugged into a separate 60 hertz circuit with the electrical rating as shown in specifications table. When the oven is on a circuit with other equipment, an increase in cooking times may be required and fuses can be blown. Microwave operates on standard household current, 110-120V.
WARNING
Do not cut or remove the third(ground) prong.
Federal Communications Commission Radio Frequency Interference Statement (U.S.A. Only)

Installation and Operation
CIRCUITS
For safety purposes this oven must be plugged into a 15A (CANADA) or 20A (USA) circuit. No other electrical appliances or lighting circuits should be on this line. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician.
VOLTAGE
The voltage used at the wall receptacle must be the same as specified on the oven name plate located inside oven door. Use of a higher voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire or other type of accident causing oven damage. Low voltage will cause slow cooking. In case your microwave oven does not perform normally in spite of proper voltage, remove and reinsert the plug.
PLACEMENT OF THE OVEN
Your microwave oven can be placed easily in your kitchen, family room, or anywhere else in your home. Place the oven on a flat surface such as a kitchen countertop or a specially designed microwave oven cart. Do not place oven above a gas or electric range. Free air flow around the oven is important.
UNPACKING OVEN
- Inspect oven for damage such as dents in door or inside oven cavity.
• Report any dents or breakage to source of purchase immediately. Do not attempt to use oven if damaged. - Remove all materials from oven interior.
- If oven has been stored in extremely cold area, wait a few hours before connecting power.
BUILT-IN CAPACITY
For information call:
1-800-688-9900 U.S.A.
1-800-688-2002 Canada
• Available Trim kit is UMTK30/27.
DO NOT BLOCK AIR VENTS
All air vents should be kept clear during cooking. If air vents are covered during oven operation the oven may overheat. In this case, a sensitive thermal safety device automatically turns the oven off. The oven will be inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently.
GETTING THE BEST COOKING RESULTS
To get the best results from your microwave oven, read and follow the guidelines below.
- Storage Temperature: Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same foods at room temperature.
- Size: Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones, pieces similar in size and shape cook more evenly. For even cooking, reduce the power when cooking large pieces of food.
- Natural Moisture: Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave energy is attracted to water molecules.
- Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables from the outside to the center to distribute the heat evenly and speed cooking. Constant stirring is not necessary.
- Turn over foods like pork chops, baking potatoes, roasts, or whole cauliflower halfway through the cooking time to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.
- Place delicate areas of foods, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the dish.
- Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or salmon steaks, with the thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the dish.
- Shield, with small pieces of aluminum foil, parts of food that may cook quickly, such as wing tips and leg ends of poultry.
- Let It Stand: After you remove the food from the microwave, cover food with foil or casserole lid and let it stand to finish cooking in the center and avoid overcooking the outer edges. The length of standing time depends on the density and surface area of the food.
- Wrapping in waxed paper or paper towel: Sandwiches and many other foods containing prebaked bread should be wrapped prior to microwaving to prevent drying out.

Operating Instructions
SENSOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your favorite foods without selecting cooking times and power levels. The display will indicate the sensing period by scrolling the name of the food. The oven automatically determines required cooking time for each food item. When the internal sensor detects a certain amount of humidity coming from the food, it will tell the oven how much longer to heat. The oven will beep and either turn off or the display will show the remaining heating time.
For best results for cooking by Sensor, follow these recommendations:
- Food cooked with the sensor system should be at normal storage temperature.
- Glass turntable and outside of container should be dry to assure best cooking results.
- Most foods should always be covered loosely with microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a lid. See sensor tables on page 14.
- Do not open the door or touch the STOP/CLEAR pad during the sensing time. When sensing time is over, the oven beeps once and the remaining cooking time will appear in the display window or the oven will turn off. At this time you can open the door to stir, turn, or rearrange the food.
IMPORTANT:
When using sensor cook, the oven must cool for 5 minutes between uses or food will not cook properly.
SENSOR COOKING GUIDE
Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good Sensor cooking results.
-
Always use microwavable containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap.
-
Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.
- Match the amount to the size of the container. Fill containers at least half full for best results.
- Be sure the outside of the cooking container and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.
ADDING OR SUBTRACTING COOK TIME
By using the MORE(9) or LESS(1) pad all of the sensor cook and time cook settings can be adjusted to cook food for a longer or shorter time.
POPCORN
POPCORN lets you pop commercially packaged microwave popcorn. Pop only one package at a time. For best results, use fresh bags of popcorn.

AUTO DEFROST
Defrost choices are preset in the oven. The defrost feature provides you with the best defrosting method for frozen foods, because the oven automatically sets the defrosting times according to the weight you enter. For added convenience, the AUTO DEFROST includes beeps to remind you to check or turn over the food during the defrost cycle.
After touching the AUTO DEFROST pad once, select the food weight. Available weight ranges are 0.1 to 6.0 lbs.
Example : To defrost 1.2 lbs of meat.
Auto Defrost

-
Touch AUTO DEFROST pad.
-
Enter the weight.
-
Touch ENTER/ START pad.
NOTES:
- After you touch ENTER/ START pad, the display counts down the defrost time. The oven will beep twice during the Defrost cycle. At this time, open the door and turn the food as needed. Remove any portions that have thawed then return frozen portions to the oven and touch ENTER/START pad to resume the defrost cycle.
- The oven will beep to signal you to check or turn over the food.
DEFROSTING GUIDE
- Follow the instructions below when defrosting different types of food.
| Food | Standard Amount | Procedure |
| Roast Beef, Pork | 2.5-6.0 lbs. | Start with the food placed fat side down. After each stage, turn the food over and shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. Let stand, covered, for 15 to 30 minutes. |
| Steaks, Chops, Fish | 0.5-3.0 lbs. | After each stage, rearrange the food. If there are any warm or thawed portions of food, shield them with narrow flat pieces of aluminum foil. Remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered, for 5-10 minutes |
| Ground Meat | 0.5-3.0 lbs. | After each stage, remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered with foil, for 5-10 minutes. |
| Whole Chicken | 2.5-6.0 lbs. | Remove giblets before freezing poulty. Start defrosting with the breast side down. After the first stage, turn the chicken over and shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. After the second stage, again shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. Let stand, covered for 30-60 minutes in the refrigerator. |
| Chicken Pieces | 0.5-3.0 lbs. | After each stage, rearrange or remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand for 10-20 minutes. |
DEFROST TIPS
- When using AUTO DEFROST, the weight to be entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds (the weight of the food minus the container).
- Use AUTO DEFROST only for raw food. AUTO DEFROST gives best results when food to be thawed is a minimum of 0°F (taken directly from a true freezer). If food has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a temperature of 5°F or below, always program a lower food weight (for a shorter defrosting time) to prevent cooking the food.
- If the food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20 minutes, enter a lower food weight.
- The shape of the package alters the defrosting time. Shallow rectangular packets defrost more quickly than a deep block.
- Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated pieces defrost more easily.
- Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to become warm.
- You can use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield foods like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails, but the foil must not touch the side of the oven. Foil causes arcing, which can damage the oven lining.
- Let food stand covered for 15 to 30 minutes.
- Let Roasts or Whole poultry stand for 30 to 60 minutes.

Operating Instructions
Guide for Cooking Seafood in Your Microwave
• Cook fish until it flakes easily with a fork.
- Place fish on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish.
- Use a tight cover to steam fish. A lighter cover of wax paper or paper towel provides less steaming.
- Do not overcook fish; check it at minimum cooking time.
| Food Cook Time/Power Level Directions | ||
| SteaksUp to 1.5 lbs. | Cooking Time: 7-11 min. / lb.Power Level: Medium-High(7). | Arrange steaks on roasting rack with meaty portions towards the outside of rack. Cover with wax paper.

Guide for Cooking Eggs in Your Microwave
- Never cook eggs in the shell, and never warm hard-cooked eggs in the shell; they can explode.
• Always pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting. - Cook eggs just until set; they become tough if overcooked.
Guide for Cooking Vegetables in Your Microwave
- Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Often, no extra water is needed. If dense vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and green beans are being cooked, add about 14 cup water.
- Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook faster than larger ones.
- Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the turntable before cooking. They will cook more evenly if turned over after half the cooking time has passed.
- Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli with the stem ends pointing towards the edge of the dish and the tips toward the center.
- When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap.
- Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skin pricked in several spots before cooking to prevent them from bursting.
- For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway through the cooking time.
- Generally, the denser the food, the longer the standing time. (Standing time refers to the time necessary for dense, large foods and vegetables to finish cooking after they come out of the oven.) A baked potato can stand on the counter for five minutes before cooking is completed, while a dish of peas can be served immediately.
Care and Cleaning
CARE AND CLEANING
For best performance and safety, keep the oven clean inside and out-side. Take special care to keep the inner door panel and the oven front frame free of food or grease build-up. Never use rough powder or pads. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out, including the hood bottom cover, with a soft cloth and a warm (not hot) mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry. Use a chrome cleaner and polish on chrome, metal and aluminum surfaces. Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or bacon. Clean your oven weekly or more often, if needed.
Follow these instructions to clean and care for your oven.
- Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids can stick to the oven walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently.
- Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.
- To help loosen baked on food particles or liquids, heat two cups of water (add the juice of one lemon if you desire to keep the oven fresh) in a four-cup measuring glass at High power for five minutes or until boiling. Let stand in the oven for one or two minutes.
- Remove the glass tray from the oven when cleaning the oven or tray. To prevent the tray from breaking, handle it carefully and do not put it in water immediately after cooking. Wash the tray carefully in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher.
- Clean the outside surface of the oven with soap and a damp cloth. Dry with a soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts of the oven, don't let water seep into the openings.
- Wash the door window with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft cloth to avoid scratching.
- If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accumulate when operating the oven in high humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage.
- Never operate the oven without food in it; this can damage the magnetron tube or glass tray. You may wish to leave a cup of water in the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is accidentally turned on.
Cooking Utensils
Recommended Use
- Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes — Use for heating or cooking.
- Microwave Browning dish — Use to brown the exterior of small items such as steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with your Browning dish.
- Microwavable plastic wrap — Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on the food.
- Wax paper — Use as a cover to prevent spattering.
- Paper towels and napkins — Use for short-term heating and covering; they absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and can catch fire.
- Paper plates and cups — Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do not use recycled paper, which may contain metal and can catch fire.
- Thermometers — Use only those labeled “Microwave Safe.” and follow all directions. Check the food in several places. Conventional thermometers may be used once the food has been removed from the oven.
Limited Use
- Aluminum foil — Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Keep the foil no more than 1-2 inches long and 1 inch wide. Using too much foil can damage your oven, so be careful.
- Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware — Use these if they are labeled “Microwave Safe.” If they are not labeled, test them to make sure they can be used safely. Never use dishes with metallic trim.
- Plastic — Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe.” Other plastics can melt.
- Straw, wicker, and wood — Use only for short-term heating, as they can be flammable.
Not Recommended
- Glass jars and bottles — Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave, and can shatter.
- Paper bags — These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that are designed for microwave use.
- Styrofoam plates and cups — These can melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food.
- Plastic storage and food containers — Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the microwave.
- Metal utensils — These can damage your oven. Remove all metal before cooking.
Testing Utensils
If you are not sure whether a dish is microwave-safe or not, you can perform this test:
- Fill a glass measuring cup with water and put it inside your oven, next to the dish you want to test.

natural_image
Simple line drawing of a round table with a mug and lid, no text or symbols present- Press the Add 30sec. button once to heat them for 30 seconds at High power.
The water should be warm and the dish you are testing should be cool. If the dish is warm, then it is absorbing microwave energy and is not acceptable for use in the microwave.
Troubleshooting
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Before you call a repair person for your oven, check this list of possible problems and solutions.
Neither the oven's display nor the oven operate.
- Properly insert the plug into a grounded outlet.
- If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch, make sure the wall switch is turned on.
- Remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten seconds, then plug it in again.
- Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuse.
- Plug another appliance into the outlet; if the other appliance doesn't work, have a qualified electrician repair the outlet.
- Plug the oven into a different outlet.
The oven's display works, but the power won't come on.
- Make sure the door is closed securely.
- Check to see if packing material or other material is stuck to the door seal.
- Check for door damage.
- Touch STOP/CLEAR pad twice and re-enter all cooking instructions.
The power goes off before the set time has elapsed.
- If there has not been a power outage, remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten seconds, then plug it in again. If there was a power outage, the time indicator will display: PLEASE TOUCH CLOCK AND SET TIME OF DAY. Reset the clock and any cooking instructions.
- Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuse.
The food is cooking too slowly.
- Make sure the oven is on its own 20 amp circuit line. Operating another appliance on the same circuit can cause a voltage drop. If necessary, move the oven to its own circuit.
You see sparks or arcing.
- Remove any metallic utensils, cookware, or metal ties. If using foil, use only narrow strips and allow at least one inch between the foil and interior oven walls.
The turntable makes noises or sticks.
- Clean the turntable, roller ring and oven floor.
- Make sure the turntable and roller ring are positioned correctly.
Using your microwave causes TV or radio interference.
- This is similar to the interference caused by other small appliances, such as hair dryers. Move your microwave further away from other appliances, like your TV or radio.
NOTE:
If the oven is set to cook for more than 25 minutes, it will automatically adjust itself to 70 percent power after 25 minutes to avoid overcooking.
