Groundinginstructions
_ ...........................................................................Oven MUST be grounded.
Grounding reduces risk of electric
il_l _ 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.

MICROWAVE UTENSIL GUIDE
OVEN PROOF GLASS (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.
As the food heats it may melt the plastic wrap
wherever the wrap touches the food.
Use plastic dishes, cups, semirigid freezer
containers and plastic bags only 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 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:
Metal-trimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc. The
metal trim interferes with normal cooking and may damage the oven.
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 and door of the oven.
WOOD:
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when
you use them in the microwave oven. Baskets react in the same way.
TIGHTLY COVERED UTENSILS:
Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered utensils.
Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before
cooking.
Tightly closed pouches could explode.
BROWN PAPER:
Avoid using brown paper bags.
They absorb too much heat and could burn.
FLAWED OR CHIPPED 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.

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.
After each stage, remove any pieces

poultry. 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.
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 alu-minum 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.

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 ifovercooked.
Guide for Cooking Vegetables in Your Microwave
• Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Often, no extra water is needed. Ifdense vegetables such as
potatoes, carrots and green beans are being cooked, add about 1Acup 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, while a dish of peas can be served immediately.

CARE AND CLEANING CLEANING THE GREASE FILTER
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.

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 ifyou
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 itis not in use
to prevent damage ifthe oven is accidentally turned on.
