Safety
IMPORTANT GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be connected to a grounded, metallic,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding
conductor should be run with the circuit conductors and
connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the
appliance. Plug the three-prong power cord into a properly
grounded outlet of standard 115-120 voltage, 60 Hz. Your oven
should be the only appliance on this 15A or 20A circuit.
Note: Do notset dishes or food on the doorwhen it is in the
open position,as the oven may becomeunstableand tip
over.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of
electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if
you do not understand the grounding instructions or if you
are not sure if the appliance is properly grounded.
Use of Extension Cords
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer
cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if
care is exercised in their use. If a long cord or extension cord is
used:
1. The marked electrical rating ofthe cord setor extension cord
should be at least as great as the electrical ratingof the
appliance.
2. The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord
and it must be plugged into a 3-slot outlet.
3. The longer cord should be arranged so that itwill not drape
over the counter top or tabletop where itcan be pulled on by
children or tripped over accidentally. If you usean extension
cord, the interior light may flicker and the blower may vary
when the microwave oven ison. Cooking times may be
longer, too.
4. Use of extremely long extension cords, or cords in poor
condition, may adversely affect cooking performance due to
voltage drop.
WARNING
Do not cut or removethe third (ground) prongfrom the
powercord underany circumstances.
Note: Uponthe oven's first use,there may bea slight odor
dueto heater "breakin". This is normal,and will not re-
occur.
Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated
beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible
bubbling or boiling when the container is removedfrom the
microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT
INVERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN
THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED ORA SPOON OR OTHER
UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
1. Do not overheat the liquid.
2. Stirthe liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
3. Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
4. After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave
oven for a short time before removing the container.
5. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil
intothe container.

Cooking Instructions
Cooking Utensils
Recommended Use for microwave functions
• 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. 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.

Cooking Instructions
Testing Utensils
Ifyou arenot surewhether a dish ismicrowave-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.
2Press the Start/+1 Min. button once to heat them for one minute
at High power.
The water should be warm andthe dishyou are testing should be cool. If the
dish iswarm, then it is absorbing microwave energyand isnot acceptable for
use in the microwave.
Cooking Techniques
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, so stirfrom the outside to the center. The oven will turn off when you
open the door to stiryour food.
Arrangement
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with the
thicker, meatier parts toward the outside ofthe turntable where they receive
more microwave energy. To prevent overcooking, place thin or delicate parts
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 endsof 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 toexpose all parts to microwave
energy. This is especially important with large items such as roasts.
Standing
Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heatand continue to cook for a
few minutes after the oven stops.Let foods standto complete cooking,
especially foods such as roasts and whole vegetables. Roasts need this time to
complete cooking in the center without overcooking the outer areas. All liquids,
such as soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken or stirred when cooking is
complete. Let liquids stand a moment before serving. When heating baby food,
stir well and test the temperature before serving.
Adding Moisture
Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in
moisture content should be covered or allowed to stand so thatthe heat
disperses evenly. Add a small amount of water todry food to help it cook.
