How to cook or reheat food in this microwave?

Place food in the center of the turntable. Close the door. Turn the Cooking Power Control knob to desired power level (e.g., max 800 W). Turn the Time/Weight dial to set cooking time. The oven starts automatically. You can adjust time during cooking by turning the dial.

Can I use metal containers in this microwave?

No. Metal containers, foil (except small amounts to shield edges), and utensils with metal trim can cause arcing and damage. Use only microwave-safe cookware.

How do I clean the microwave?

Clean regularly with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. For stubborn odors, place a cup of diluted lemon juice and heat on max for 10 minutes. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Keep door seals clean.

Microwave warning

Microwave heating of beverages may result in delayed eruptive boiling; always use caution when handling the container. Always allow beverages to stand at least 20 seconds before handling. If necessary, stir during heating. Always stir after heating. In the event of scalding, follow these First Aid instructions:

1. Immerse the scalded area in cold water for at least 10 minutes.

2. Cover with a clean, dry dressing.

3. Do not apply any creams, oils, or lotions.

To avoid damaging the tray or rack, do not put the tray or rack in water shortly after cooking.

Do not use the oven for deep fat frying because the oil temperature cannot be controlled. This could result in a sudden boil over of hot oils.

Microwave oven precautions

Only use microwave-safe utensils. Do not use metallic containers, gold or silver trimmed dinnerware, skewers, etc.

Remove wire twist ties. Electric arcing may occur.

Do not use the oven to dry papers or clothes.

Use shorter times for small amounts of food to prevent overheating or burning.

Keep the power cord and power plug away from water and heat sources.

To avoid the risk of explosion, do not heat eggs with shells or hard-boiled eggs. Do not heat airtight or vacuum-sealed containers, nuts, tomatoes, etc.

Do not cover the ventilation slots with cloth or paper. This is a fire hazard. The oven may overheat and turn off automatically and will remain off until it cools sufficiently.

Always use oven mitts when removing a dish.

Stir liquids halfway during heating or after heating ends and allow the liquid stand at least 20 seconds after heating to prevent eruptive boiling.

Stand at arms length from the oven when opening the door to avoid getting scalded by escaping hot air or steam.
