SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Improper use of the grounding can result in electric shock. 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.

In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire or the electric current if an electric short occurs. This oven is equippe with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug mus 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 ratting 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, 120V.

WARNING

a. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
b. Longer cord sets or extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c. If a long cord or extension cord is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord set 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.

3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over, snagged, or pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

If you use an extension cord, the interior light may flicker and the blower sound may vary when the microwave oven is on. Cooking times may be longer, too.

Microwave utensil guide

Use Do not use

Oven proof glass (specifically treated for high intensity heat): Utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and bowls without metallic trim.

• China: Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters without metallic trim.

Plastic:

Plastic wrap (as a cover) - lay the plastic wrap loosely over the dish and press it to the sides. Vent plastic wrap by turning back one edge slightly to allow excess steam to escape. The dish should be deep enough so that the plastic wrap will not touch the food. Use plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer containers and plastic bags for short cooking times. Use these with care because the plastic may soften from the heat of the food.

- Paper:

Paper towels, waxed paper, paper napkins and paper plates with no metallic trim or design. Look for the manufacturer's label for any special instructions for use in the microwave oven.

Metal utensils:

Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces uneven cooking. Also, avoid metal skewers, thermometers or foil trays. Metal utensils can cause arcing, which can damage your microwave oven.

• Metal decoration:

Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters without metallic trim.

Aluminum foil:

Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking and may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the side walls of the oven cavity and door of the microwave.

Wood:

Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when you use them in the microwave oven. Baskets made of wood will react in the same way.

Tightly covered utensils:

e sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered cookware. Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before cooking. Tightly closed pouches may explode.

- Brown paper:

Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb heat and can burn.

Flawed or chipped cooking utensils:

Any utensil that is cracked, flawed or chipped may break in the oven.

Metal twist ties:

Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags. They become hot and could cause a fire.

Sensor Cook Operating Tips

The Sensor Cook categories are designed to detect the increasing humidity released by the food during the cooking process. The microwave oven sensor will automatically adjust the cooking time to the type and amount of food. The food categories that are controlled with the humidity sensor are::

• Potato
• Meat
• Frozen Veggies
• Fish/Seafood
• Fresh Veggies
• Frozen Pizza
• Frozen Entree

For best results, do not use one of the Sensor Cook categories twice in succession on the same food portion. This may result in severely overcooked or burnt food. If the food appears to be undercooked, use one of the Easy Set pads or cook time pads to add more time.

Additional sensor cook suggestions are:

• Never start with less than 4 oz. of food.
• Use proper containers and covers for best sensor cooking results.
• Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with loose fitting lids or vented plastic wrap. Never use tight sealing plastic containers. They will prevent steam from escaping and this will mislead the sensor, usually causing the food to overcook.

Be sure the outside of the cooking containers and the cavity of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Excessive moisture turning into steam that does not result from the food cooking can mislead the sensor.

Baked Potato

The potato feature cooks 8-32 oz. of potatoes automatically (starting from room temperature).

Suggestions for getting the best results

To help you achieve the best possible results from your microwave oven, read the following suggestions below;

• Storage temperature

Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same foods would at room temperature.

- Size

Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones. Pieces similar in size and shape will cook more evenly when cooked together. For more even results, reduce the power levels when cooking large pieces of food.

• Natural moisture

Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave energy heats water molecules very efficiently.

- Stirring

Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetable from the outside to the center to distribute the heat more evenly. This will allow the food to cook faster. Constant stirring is not necessary.

- Turn over items

Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts or whole cauliflower halfway through the cook time. This will help to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.

- Food placement

Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the turntable tray.

- Food arrangement

Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable tray.

- Let the food stand

After removing the food from the microwave, cover the food with foil or a casserole lid and let it stand to finish cooking. This will help the food finish in the center and avoids overcooking the out edges. The length of stand time depends on the density and surface area of the food items.

• Wrapping in paper towels or waxed paper

Sandwiches and many other food types containing pre-baked bread should be wrapped prior to placing in the microwave to help prevent the food items fro drying out while heating.

One Touch Cooking Suggestions

Convenience category Amount Suggestions
Popcorn Cook a single “microwave-only”	3.5 oz, 1.75 oz, 3.5 oz.	bag of popcorn at a time. Use caution when removing and opening the hot popcorn bag from the oven. Let microwave oven cool down at least 5 minutes before using again.

Cooking vegetables in your microwave

• Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Rarely is extra water needed. If dense vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and greens are being cooked, add about 14 cup of water.
• Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook faster than larger vegetables.
• Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the turntable before cooking. The will cook more evenly if turned over halfway through cooking.

• 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 locations before cooking to prevent them from bursting.
• For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway through the cook time.
• Most of the time, the denser the food the longer the required standing time. For example, a baked potato should stand for 5 minutes before serving, while a dish of peas may be served immediately.

Cooking seafood in your microwave

Place fish on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish. Be sure to always cook fish until it flakes easily with a fork. Use a tight cover to steam fish; a lighter cover of wax paper or paper towel provides less steaming. And be sure not to overcook fish; check it for doneness at a minimum cooking time before cooking longer.

Seafood Cook	time/power level Directions
Fish steaksUp to 1 12 lbs.	Cook time: 7-11 min./lb.Power level: med-high (7)	Arrange fish on roasting rack with meaty portions towards the outside of rack.Cover with wax paper. Turn over and rearrange halfway through cook time.Cook until fish flakes easily with fork. Let stand 3-5 mins.
Fish filletsUp to 1 12 lbs.	Cook time: 4-8 min./lb.Power level: med-high (7)	Arrange fillets in a baking dish, turning any thin pieces under. Cover with wax paper. If over 12 inch thick, turn over and rearrange halfway through cook time. Cook until fish flakes easily with fork. Let stand 2-3 mins.
ShrimpUp to 1 12 lbs.	Cook time: 4-6 12 min./lb.Power level: med-high (7)	Arrange shrimp in a baking dish without overlapping or layering. Cover with wax paper. Cook until firm and opaque, stirring 2 or 3 times. Let stand 5 mins.

Defrosting tips

• When using the defrost weight feature, the weight entered should always be (valid entries are from
• Use both defrost weight and defrost time features for raw food items only. Defrosting gives best results when food to be thawed is a minimum of 0°F (taken directly from a true freezer). If the 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 or lower cook time to prevent cooking the food.

• If the frozen food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20 minutes, enter a reduced cook time or weight.

• The shape of the package will alter the defrosting time. Shallow rectangular food packets defrost more quickly than a deep frozen block of food.

• Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated frozen pieces of food defrost better.
• Shield warm areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to become warm.
• You may use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield food items like chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails, but do not allow the foil to touch the oven cavity walls when defrosting.

Defrosting suggestions for meats

For best results, please read these suggestions when defrosting meats.

Meat Normal amount Suggestions
Roast beef or pork	2.5 to 6 lbs.(40 to 96 oz.)	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 15-30 minutes.
Steaks, chops or fish	0.5 to 3 lbs.(8 to 48 oz.)	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 about 5 to 10 minutes.
Ground meat	0.5 to 3 lbs.(8 to 48 oz.)	After each stage, remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered with foil for 5 to 10 minutes.
Whole chicken	(40 to 96 oz.)2.5 to 6 lbs.	Remove giblets before freezing poultry. Start defrosting with the breast side down. After the 1st stage, turn the chicken over and shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. After the 2nd stage, again shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. Let stand, covered, for 30 to 60 minutes in the refrigerator.
Chicken pieces	0.5 to 3 lbs.(8 to 48 oz.)	After each stage, rearrange or remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand for 10-20 minutes.

Cleaning suggestions

For best performance and for safety reasons, keep the oven clean inside and outside. Take special care to keep the inner door panel and oven from frame free of food and grease build-up.

Never use rough scouring powder or pads on the microwave. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out with a soft cloth and warm (not hot) mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe completely dry.

Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking greasy foods like chicken or bacon.

Clean your microwave oven weekly or more often, if

- Wash the oven door window with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft clean 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 the oven cavity; this can damage the magnetron tube or glass tray. You may wish to leave a cup of water standing inside the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is accidentally turned on.

Follow these instructions to clean and care for your microwave oven:

- Keep the inside (cavity) of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids can stick to the oven walls, causing the oven to wok less efficiently.

- Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp, clean cloth and mild soap. DO NOT use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.

- To help loosen baked-on food particles or liquids, heat 2 cups of water (add the juice of 1 lemon if you desire to keep the oven fresh smelling) in a 4 cup measuring glass at High power for 5 minutes or until boiling. Let stand in oven cavity for 1 or 2 minutes.

- Remove the glass turntable tray from the oven when cleaning the oven cavity or tray. To prevent the glass turntable from breaking, handle with care and do not put it in water immediately after cooking. Wash the turntable tray in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher.

- Clean the outside surface of the microwave with soap and a clean damp cloth. Dry with a clean soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts of the oven, do not let water seep into any vents or openings.
