IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

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:

• Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This microwave is specifically designed to heat to cook food, and is not intended for laboratory or industrial use.
• Read and follow the specific "PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY."
• This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS.”
• For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical outlet to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit breaker.
  • Installation of this microwave oven must conform with local codes and ordinances.
• Do not mount this appliance over a sink. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided Installation Instructions.

• Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.

• Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water—for example, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.

• Do not immerse power cord or plug in water.
• Keep power cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not let power cord hang over edge of table or counter.
• Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.
  • See door surface cleaning instructions in the Care and Cleaning section(s) of this book.
  • This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
  • As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
  • To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
  —Do not overcook food.
  Carefully attend appliance if paper, plastic or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
  —Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bags in oven.
  —Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers.

(continued next page)

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

—Do not use recycled paper products. Recycled paper towels, napkins and waxed paper can contain metal flecks which may cause arcing or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or nylon filaments should be avoided, as they may also ignite.

—Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven unless in a special microwave popcorn accessory or unless you use popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.

—Do not operate the oven while empty to avoid damage to the oven and the danger of fire. If by accident the oven should run empty a minute or two, no harm is done. However, try to avoid operating the oven empty at all times—it saves energy and prolongs the life of the oven.

—Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage to your oven.

—Do not use the oven for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the oven when not in use.

- If materials inside oven should ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

• Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers—for example, closed jars—will explode and should not be heated in this microwave oven. Such use of the microwave oven could result in injury.

- Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even without their lids; especially meat and egg mixtures.

- Don't defrost frozen beverages in narrow necked bottles (especially carbonated beverages). Even if the container is opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the container to burst, possibly resulting in injury.

- Use metal only as directed in this book. TV dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less than 3/4" high; remove top foil cover and return tray to box. When using metal in the microwave oven, keep metal at least 1 inch away from sides of oven.

• Cookware may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may be needed to handle the cookware.

• Sometimes, the oven floor can become too hot to touch. Be careful touching the floor during and after cooking.

- Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may tend to boil over more rapidly than foods containing less moisture. Should this occur, refer to the section on Care of Your Microwave Oven for instructions on how to clean the inside of the oven.

• Thermometer—Do not use a thermometer in food you are microwaving unless the thermometer is designed or recommended for use in the microwave oven.

- Remove the temperature probe from the oven when not using it to cook with. If you

leave the probe inside the oven without inserting it in food or liquid, and turn on microwave energy, it can create electrical arcing in the oven and damage oven walls.

- Plastic cookware—Plastic cookware designed for microwave cooking is very useful, but should be used carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as are glass or ceramic materials and may soften or char if subjected to short periods of overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooking, the food and cookware could ignite. For these reasons: 1) Use microwave-safe plastics only and use them in strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer's recommendations. 2) Do not subject empty cookware to microwaving. 3) Do not permit children to use plastic cookware without complete supervision.

- When cooking pork, follow the directions exactly and always cook the meat to an internal temperature of at least 170^ . This assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina may be present in the meat, it will be killed and meat will be safe to eat.

- Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure will build up inside egg yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly resulting in injury.

- Foods with unbroken outer "skin" such as potatoes, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and egg yolks (see previous caution) should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.

- Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens. Check the package for proper use.

- Spontaneous boiling—Under certain special circumstances, liquids may start to boil during or shortly after removal from the microwave oven. To prevent burns from splashing liquid, stir the liquid briefly before removing the container from the microwave oven.

- “Boilable” cooking pouches and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as directed by package. If they are not, plastic could burst during or immediately after cooking, possibly resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage containers should be at least partially uncovered because they form a tight seal. When cooking with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove covering carefully and direct steam away from hands and face.

• Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when opening any containers of hot food, including popcorn bags, cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent possible injury, direct steam away from hands and face.

• Use of the shelf accessory.

—Remove the shelf from oven when not in use.

—Do not store or cook with shelf on floor of oven. Product damage may result.

—Use pot holders when handling the shelf and cookware. They may be hot.

—Do not use microwave browning dish on shelf. The shelf could overheat.

—Be sure that the shelf is positioned properly inside the oven to prevent product damage.

—Use the shelf only when cooking foods on 2 levels.

THE EXHAUST HOOD

• Have it installed and properly grounded by a qualified installer. See the special installation booklet packed with the microwave oven.

• The exhaust fan in the oven will operate automatically under certain conditions (see Automatic Fan Feature). While the fan is operating, caution is required to prevent the starting and spreading of accidental cooking fires while the exhaust fan is in use. For this reason:

—Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread if exhaust fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate sized cookware and use high heat only when necessary.

—In the event of a grease fire, smother flaming pan on surface unit by covering pan completely with well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.

—Never flame foods under the oven with the exhaust fan operating because it may spread the flames.

—Keep hood and grease filters clean, according to instructions in the Exhaust Feature section, to maintain good venting and avoid grease fires.

Cooking by Temperature

Internal temperature is the best test of doneness for many foods.

Use Temp Cook/Hold to cook a variety of foods to the desired finished food temperature. The Time Cook 1 & 2 setting is recommended for batters, doughs, frozen foods and foods which are difficult to cook precisely with the probe.

Temp Cook/Hold takes the guesswork out of cooking, because the oven automatically switches to "Hold" setting after reaching the preset food temperature and maintains that temperature for up to one hour or until you touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.

Note: Oven automatically switches to "Hold" when preset food temperature is reached.

The Temperature Probe

Line drawing of a medical or laboratory instrument with a coiled tube and pointed tip (no text or symbols)

The temperature probe is a food thermometer that gauges the internal temperature of your food. (Its appearance may vary from picture above.) The probe must be used when using Temp Cook/Hold or Roast Matic. To use the probe properly, follow directions in the How to Use Roast Matic section.

How to Temp Cook a Rolled Beef Rib Roast to Medium

Step 1: Insert temperature probe and attach probe securely in oven wall. Close the door.

Step 2: Touch TEMP COOK/HOLD pad.

Step 3: Touch 1, 6 and 0 for 160^ .

Step 4: Touch POWER LEVEL pad. "ENTER POWER" flashes. Touch 5 for medium power.

Step 5: Touch the START pad. If internal temperature of the roast is less than 90^ F., display will show “COOL”; if temperature is 90^ F. or above, display shows temperature counting up.

Step 6: When 160°F. is reached, the oven will sound and display "Hold." The oven will then hold the temperature.

Step 7: Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad to stop the cycle.

Step 8: Remove probe and food from the oven.

Cooking Tips

• Use a lower power level; foods will heat more evenly though requiring more time.
• Be sure frozen food has been completely defrosted before inserting probe. Probe may break off if used in frozen foods.
  • Cover foods loosely for moisture control and quick, even heating.

Questions and Answers

Q. Are there any foods I can't Temp Cook?

A. Yes. Delicate butter icings, ice cream, frozen whipped toppings, etc., soften rapidly at warm temperatures. Batters, doughs and frozen foods are also difficult to cook precisely with the probe. It's best to Time Cook these foods.

Q. Why did "PRObE" flash on the display after I touched the START pad?

A. "PRObE" will flash if you don't seat the cable end of the probe securely into the receptacle in the oven wall or if you touch the TEMP COOK/HOLD pad and forget to use the probe.

Q. Can I leave my probe in the oven if it's not inserted in food?

A. No, if it touches the oven wall, it may damage the oven.

Q. Can I Temp Cook different portions of food at different temperatures?

A. Yes. The temperature probe gives you the freedom to cook different portions of food at different temperatures to suit individual eating styles. Simply place probe in food and change temperature setting as needed.

Cooking by Time

Time Cook 1 & 2 allows you to microwave for a preset amount of time using automatic power level 10 (High), or change power level automatically.

Power level 10 (High) is recommended for most cooking, but you may change this for more flexibility. See the cookbook.

To become better acquainted with time cooking, make a cup of coffee by following the steps below.

Line drawing of a hand holding a mug inside a window (no text or symbols)

Step 1: Fill a cup 2/3 full of water, add 1 teaspoon of instant coffee and stir to dissolve. Use a cup that has no metal decoration and is microwave-safe (refer to section on Microwaving Tips). Place cup in oven and close door.

TIME COOK 1&2

Step 2: Touch TIME COOK 1 & 2.

Step 3: Select your time. Touch 1, 0 and 0 for one minute.

Because automatic power level 10 is recommended for this cup of coffee, there is no need to change the power level. (If power level 10 is not appropriate, see “How to Change Power Level” at right.)

Step 4: Touch START.

Step 5: When time is up, the oven signals and flashes "End." Oven, light and fan shut off.

Step 6: Open the door.

- Family-size, pre-packaged frozen dinners can be defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.

- Check the cookbook for other defrosting tips.

Questions and Answers

Q. When I press START, I hear a dull, thumping noise. What is it?

A. This sound is normal. It is letting you know the oven is using a power level lower than 10 (High).

Q. Can I defrost small items in a hurry?

A. Yes, but they will need more frequent attention than usual. Raise the power level after entering the time by touching the desired power level pad. Power level 7 cuts the total defrosting time in about 1/2; Power level 10 cuts the total defrosting time to approximately 1/3. During either, rotate or stir food frequently.

Q. Why don't the defrosting times in the cookbook seem right for my food?

A. These times are averages. Defrosting time can vary according to the temperature in your freezer. Set your oven for the time indicated in the cookbook. If your food is still not completely thawed at the end of that time, reset your oven and adjust the time accordingly.

Q. Should all foods be completely thawed before cooking?

A. Some foods should not be completely thawed before cooking. For example, fish cooks so quickly it is better to begin cooking while it is still slightly frozen.

Q. Can I open the door during defrosting to check on the progress of my food?

A. Yes. You may open the door at any time during microwaving. To resume defrosting, close the door and press START. The oven begins operating if time is left on timer. If not, reset timer.

How to Use Cooking Program

The Cooking Program provides a shortcut method for entering time and the power level on your microwave oven. Cooking Programs are only used for recipes which need little or no attention, and which require no change of power level during cooking. Recipes which require additional ingredients, attention or change of power level during microwaving should be cooked in the usual manner. Also, recipes with a cooking time of less than one minute or more than 99 minutes cannot use Cooking Programs.

To understand the Cooking Program, it is important to know what the numbers mean and what the sequence is. The first and second numbers, if setting a 3-digit Cooking Program, indicate the amount of time you desire; the last entry number is always the power level. For example, 125 means 12 minutes at power level 5.

NOTE: Your oven can only be programmed to 99 minutes when using the Cooking Program control, and the highest power level is 10, which is represented by "0." When setting a 2-digit Cooking Program, the first is time, the second is power level. For example, 50 means 5 minutes at power level 10.

On the following page, many frequently prepared foods and their Cooking Programs are shown. It's also easy to make Cooking Programs for many other recipes. Just select one or two digits representing the length of cooking time desired, and a final digit for the power level required. The Cooking Programs given on the guide represent the minimum time needed to avoid overcooking, which can dry out food and make it tasteless and tough. If you feel that more cooking is needed, add additional time by changing the

first digit of the Cooking Program. You cannot add seconds to the cycle time—Cooking Programs are for whole minutes only. If your recipe calls for power level changes or different amounts of time needed between addition of ingredients, you may set one Cooking Program for the first part of the recipe, then after completion, set another Cooking Program for that period of time and power level.

Remember that Cooking Programs are for microwaving by time only. If you are microwaving by temperature, you must use the Temp Cook/Hold or Roastmatic function.

When the oven completes the Cooking Program it automatically shuts off. It will then display "End" and beep once a minute until you either open the door or touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.

For Example:

COOKING PROGRAM 2-Digit 5 0 Time in Power Level Minutes High (10)

COOKING PROGRAM 3-Digit 1 2 5 Time in Power Level Minutes Med (5)

How to Set COOKING PROGRAM

How to Use Roastmatic

Roastmatic uses the temperature probe to cook to the desired serving temperature. Unlike Temp Cook/Hold, which uses a single power level, Roastmatic uses up to 3 power settings which automatically switch during roasting, thus providing even, tender cooking results without overcooking.

Just as in conventional roasting, only tender roasts should be roasted until specified internal temperatures are reached. Less tender roasts should be microwaved by time, according to the cookbook that comes with your oven.

Preparing Roasts for Roastmatic Cooking

Guide to Use of the Oven Shelf

• Use the shelf only when cooking food on 2 levels.
- Do not store or cook with metal shelf on floor of oven. Product damage may result.
- Use pot holders when handling metal shelf and cookware. They may be hot.
- Do not store microwave browning dish on metal shelf.

The two-position wire shelf is specifically designed for added capacity heating and reheating in your microwave oven. Now more than one food may be heated or reheated and ready to serve at the same time.

When microwaving with the oven shelf, some techniques will differ from the Cookbook that came with your oven. It is important to arrange foods properly (shown on the next page). Cookware size is important; select from among the suggestions at right. Also, food size should be considered; foods over 3½ inches high, or 3 pounds are not recommended for shelf cooking.

Batters and dough foods and also uncooked foods which need to be prepared from scratch should be cooked without the oven shelf, following cookbook directions.

Illustration of a hand pouring liquid into a container on a metal rack (no text or symbols)

Use pot holders when handling foods heated together with your oven shelf, especially when heating larger amounts of food in 8-inch square or other 2-quart size casseroles.

Extra steam generated from multiple food cooking may make cookware hotter than with regular microwaving.

Cookware for Shelf Heating and Reheating

Before placing food in the dishes, check to see that they will fit together on or under the shelf. Also, be sure cookware is microwave safe.

Line drawing of various household food items including a tray, bowl, cup, and saucer (no text or symbols)

Cookware for heating or reheating include 1 cup measuring cup, 8x4x3-inch loaf dishes, 9x5x3-inch loaf dishes or 9-inch pie plates.

Line drawing of various kitchen utensils including a pan, mugs, and a plate (no text or labels)

Leftovers may be placed in small individual ceramic or plastic bowls or divided plates.

WAX PAPER

Use wax paper or plastic wrap instead of lids on casseroles. Lids may add too much height to dish.

Positioning the Shelf

Line drawing of hands handling a corrugated metal tray (no text or symbols)

To insert shelf, tip the back slightly and fit the shelf support guides onto the support guides located on each side of the oven in the rear.

Simple line drawing of a metal grate with slats and a curved base (no text or symbols)

Next, lower the front until the shelf support guides fit onto the support guides located at each side of the oven in the front.

When properly positioned, the shelf should fit snugly in place, be level and not touch the back or side wall of the oven.

If arcing occurs when using the shelf to cook more than one food at the same time, turn the oven off. Make sure the shelf is positioned right-side-up on all four shelf supports and not touching oven walls. To prevent arcing, remove the shelf when you are not using it.

How to Heat or Reheat Similar Types of Food

Illustration of two plates with food and meat inside an oven (no text or symbols)

Two plates of leftovers may be reheated together. Arrange thick or dense foods to outside edges of plate and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave at High (10) for 2 to 3 minutes. Reverse position of plates (top to bottom) and rotate 1/2 turn. Continue microwaving at High (10) for 2 to 3 minutes. Continue heating, if necessary, until hot.

Illustration of two woven baskets on a rack inside a storage unit (no text or symbols)

Reheating two casseroles (height should be less than 31/2 inches) is possible. Cover with plastic wrap. Use staggered arrangements of food, placing food on right side of shelf and left side of floor. Refer to Heating or Reheating Guide in cookbook for suggested microwave time per casserole and add the times together. Microwave at High (10) reversing position of foods (top to bottom) after half of time. Several small bowls of leftovers may be heated in the same way, stirring and reversing positions after half of time.

Line drawing of two separate food containers with various dishes, arranged on a shelf (no text or symbols)

Two frozen individual entrees (5 to 7 oz. each) or two TV dinners (10 to 12 oz. each) are both ready to serve at the same time. Remove trays of food from their boxes and turn back one corner of the plastic cover to vent. If there are foil covers, remove them and return the trays of food to their boxes. Place in oven with one TV dinner on right shelf and the second dinner on left floor. Microwave at High (10) for 7 minutes. Reverse positions (top to bottom) and rotate foods 1/2 turn. Continue microwaving at High (10) for 7 minutes. Check dinners for heating. If one dinner seems less done than desired, return it to the box and continue heating on floor 1 to 2 more minutes.

How to Reheat Several Different Types of Foods Together

When heating several different types of food together, foods which should be served hot must be placed on the oven floor, while foods which need only to be warmed should be placed on the shelf. This is because microwave energy enters the oven from the bottom only. Also, it is important to remember that foods absorb microwave energy at different rates. Rates can be affected by the size of the food, and its starting temperature.

Because of the varying rates, you may need to start reheating a large or dense food a few minutes ahead of time, then add other smaller or less dense foods. Alternately, if one of the foods you are heating seems undercooked but the others are heated satisfactorily, let the underheated food continue cooking.

Heat or reheat different types of food at High (10). To determine heating times, add times for all foods together. (See heating in cookbook.) After half of time, stir or rearrange foods (do not reverse positions). Check foods (especially those on the oven floor) after 3/4 of total time and remove any which are done. Continue cooking others.

Line drawing of a pan on an induction cooktop with a side dish below (no text or symbols)

Place on the floor larger or more dense foods, which need the most heating, such as leftover fried chicken, casseroles of canned or leftover vegetables, rice or pasta. Place on the oven shelf those foods which need only be warmed, such as bakery pies, rolls, muffins or breads.

How to Use the Minute/Second Timer

The Minute/Second Timer has three timing functions:

• It operates as a minute timer.
• It can be set to delay cooking.
• It can be used as a hold setting after defrosting.

The Minute/Second Timer operates without microwave energy.

How to Time a 3-Minute Phone Call

1. Touch MIN/SEC TIMER pad.
2. Touch number pads 3, 0 and 0 (for 3 minutes and no seconds).
3. Touch START. Display shows time counting down.
4. When time is up, oven signals, flashes "End," and display shows time of day.

Using a Holding Time

The Minute/Second Timer can also be used to program a "holding time" between microwave cooking functions. The time can range from one second to 99 minutes and 99 seconds. A holding or standing time may be found in some of your own recipes or in the cookbook supplied.

How to Defrost, Hold and Time Cook

Let's say you want to defrost a frozen casserole for 15 minutes, hold for 10 minutes and then Time Cook for 25 minutes. Here's how to do it:

Step 1: Take casserole from freezer and place in oven.

TIME DEFROST

Step 2: Touch TIME DEFROST pad.

Step 3: Touch pads 1, 5, 0 and 0 for 15 minutes defrosting time. (Defrosting is automatically set on power level 3 but can be changed by touching the POWER LEVEL pad and the desired power level.)

MIN/SEC TIMER

Step 4: Set standing or hold time by touching MIN/SEC TIMER pad.

Step 5: Touch 1, 0, 0 and 0 to hold for 10 minutes.

TIME COOK 1&2

Step 6: Touch TIME COOK 1 & 2 pad.

Step 7: Touch 2, 5, 0 and 0 for 25 minutes of cooking time.

START

Step 8: Touch START pad. As each function is automatically performed, oven display shows instructions entered and the function.

Step 9: When time is up, the oven signals and flashes "End."

Questions and Answers

Q. What will happen if I accidentally reverse my defrost, hold and cook instructions?

A. The oven will automatically rearrange your program. Defrosting will always come first, then hold, and then the cooking function.

Q. Can I defrost and hold only?

A. Yes. Sometimes you may only want to defrost a food, hold it, and cook it later. All you need to do is program in defrost and amount of time. Then program the hold time. Be sure to put the thawed dish in the refrigerator promptly.

NOTE: Foods that are highly perishable, such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork should not be allowed to sit out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.

Q. I programmed my oven for a specific defrosting time but it defrosted longer than necessary. What happened?

A. When instructions conflict, the oven carries out the last instruction. You may have set the oven to defrost for 4 minutes, hold for 2 minutes, and then defrost for 6 minutes. In this case, the oven would defrost for 6 minutes and hold for 2 minutes.

Care of Your Microwave Oven

Illustration of various food items including baking soda, soap bottle, and rolled cheese (no text or symbols)

Your new microwave oven is a valuable appliance. Protect it from misuse by following these rules:

• Keep your oven clean and sweet-smelling. Opening the oven door a few minutes after cooking helps air out the interior. An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking soda and water keeps the interior fresh.
• Don't use sharp-edged utensils with your oven. The inside and outside oven walls can be scratched and the control panel can be damaged.

BE CERTAIN POWER IS OFF BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART OF THIS OVEN.

How to Clean the Inside

Walls and floor. Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel, while others may require a damp cloth. Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners on oven walls. NEVER USE A COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANER ON ANY PART OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN.

Door (inside). Window: Wipe up spatters daily and wash when soiled with a damp cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

Metal and plastic parts on door: Wipe frequently with a damp cloth to remove all soil. DO NOT USE ABRASIVES, SUCH AS CLEANING POWDERS OR STEEL AND PLASTIC PADS. THEY WILL MAR THE SURFACE.

Special note when using

Brown 'N Sear dish: If grease is present, high heat generated on bottom of a Brown 'N Sear dish may cause the grease to burn onto the oven floor. This may be removed with a cleanser such as Bon Ami® brand cleanser.

After using Bon Ami® brand cleanser, rinse and dry thoroughly, following instructions on can. Do not use Bon Ami® brand cleanser on the painted surfaces such as the walls. It may scratch the paint.

Automatic Temperature Probe.

Probe is sturdy, but care should be taken in handling. Do not twist or bend; avoid dropping temperature probe.

Clean as soon after using as possible. To clean, wipe with sudsy cloth, then rub lightly with plastic scouring ball if necessary. Rinse and dry. The probe can also be washed in the dishwasher.

Shelf. Your shelf accessory is designed for use in a microwave oven only; do not use in a conventional oven. Do not use a browning dish with the shelf. Arcing could occur.

Clean shelf with mild soap and water or in the dishwasher. Do not clean shelf in a self-cleaning oven.

How to Clean the Outside

Case. Clean the outside of your oven with soap and a damp cloth, rinse with a damp cloth and then dry. Wipe the window clean with a damp cloth. Chrome trim is best wiped with a damp cloth and then with a dry towel.

Control Panel. Wipe with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water, abrasives or sharp objects on the panel—they can damage it.

Door Surface. When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that come together on closing the door, use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

Power Cord. If the cord becomes soiled, unplug and wash with a damp cloth. For stubborn spots, sudsy water may be used, but be certain to rinse with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly before plugging cord into outlet.

The Exhaust Feature

METAL FILTER COOKTOP LIGHT METAL FILTER

The exhaust hood feature on your microwave oven is equipped with two metal filters which collect grease. When the fan is operated, air is drawn up through the filters and is then discharged through the provided venting to the outside. The hood also has a light for illuminating the counter space.

Clean off the grease and dust on hood surfaces often. Use a solution of warm water and detergent. About 1 tablespoon of ammonia may be added to the water. Take care not to touch the filters and enamel surfaces with this solution; ammonia will darken metal.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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 power cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. (Fig. 1)

WARNING—Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

ENSURE PROPER GROUND EXISTS BEFORE USE Fig. 1

Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.

Do not under any circumstance cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

Do not use an adapter plug with this appliance.

Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.

Microwaving Tips

- Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled "suitable for microwaving."

Line drawing of a pitcher inside a bowl (no text or symbols)

If you are not sure if a dish is microwave-safe, use this test: Place in the oven both the dish you are testing and a glass measuring cup filled with one cup water—set the measuring cup either in or next to the dish. Microwave 1 minute at high. If the dish heats, it should not be used for microwaving. If the dish remains cool and only the water in the cup heats, then the dish is microwave-safe.

- Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap can be used to cover dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap so steam can escape.

• Some microwaved foods require stirring, rotating or rearranging. Check the cookbook.

- Steam builds up pressure in foods which are tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Pierce potatoes, egg yolks and chicken livers to prevent bursting.
