Important Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of substances known to
the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of
potential exposure to such substances.
The fiberglass insulation in self-cleaning ovens
gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide
during the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be
minimized by venting with an open window or
using a ventilation fan or hood.
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 guide. Do not use corrosive
chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This
cooking center is specifically designed to heat
or cook food, and is not intended for laboratory
or industrial use.
• Be sure your appliance is properly
installed and grounded by a qualified
technician in accordance with the provided
Installation Instructions.
• Have the installer show you the location
of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for
easy reference.
• Be sure the cooking center is securely installed
in a cabinet that is firmly attached to the house
structure. Weight on the oven door could cause
the oven to tip and result in injury. Never allow
anyone to climb, sit, or hang on the oven door.
• 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.
• Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not
use this product near water—for example, in a wet
basement, or near a swimming pool.
• This appliance should be serviced only by
qualified service personnel. Contact nearest
authorized service facility for examination, repair
or adjustment. Do not repair or replace any part of
this appliance unless specifically recommended in
this guide. All other servicing should be referred
to a qualified technician.
• Before performing any service, DISCONNECT
THE COOKING CENTER POWER SUPPLY
AT THE HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION
PANEL BY REMOVING THE FUSE OR
SWITCHING OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.
• Do not cover or block any openings on the
appliance.
• Do not operate this appliance if it has a
damaged cord or plug, if it is not working
properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.
• Do not leave children alone—children should
not be left alone or unattended in an area where
appliance is in use. They should never be allowed
to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
• Don’t allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on
the door. They could damage the cooking center
and even tip it over causing severe personal injury.
• CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO
CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN
CABINETS ABOVE A COOKING
CENTER—CHILDREN CLIMBING ON THE
COOKING CENTER TO REACH ITEMS
COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.
• Teach children not to play with the controls or
any other part of the cooking center.
• Wear proper clothing. Loose fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with hot heating elements and
may cause severe burns.
• Use only dry pot holders—moist or
damp pot holders on hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam. Do not let
pot holders touch hot heating elements. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth. Such cloths can
catch fire on a hot element.
(continued next page)

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
• Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot holders,
and other linens a safe distance from your oven.
• Always keep wooden spoons and plastic
utensils and canned food a safe distance
away from your oven.
• Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains
or drapes a safe distance from your oven.
• Do not store flammable material in an oven or
near the cooking center.
• For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
• Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils,
or food in the oven when not in use.
• DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER
FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN
THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER
APPLIANCE.
• Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate in or
near the cooking center.
• Do not touch heating elements or interior
surface of the oven. These surfaces may be
hot enough to burn even though they are dark
in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials contact any
interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time
for cooling first.
Potentially hot surfaces include oven vent
openings, surfaces near the openings, and
crevices around the oven door.
Remember: The inside surface of the oven may
be hot when the door is opened.
• When cooking pork, follow the directions exactly
and always cook the meat to an internal temperature
of at least 170°F. This assures that, in the remote
possibility that trichina may be present in the meat,
it will be killed and the meat will be safe to eat.
• Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan.
Smother flaming pan on surface unit
by covering pan completely with
well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming
grease outside a pan can be put out by covering
with baking soda or, if available, a multi-purpose
dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Microwave Oven:
• Read and follow the specific “Precautions to
Avoid Possible Exposure To Excessive
Microwave Energy” section.
• 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
containers before placing bags in oven.
—Do not use your microwave oven to dry
newspapers.
—Do not use recycled paper products.
Recycled paper towels, napkins and wax paper
can contain metal flecks which may cause
arcing or fire. 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 overcook potatoes. They could
dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage to
your oven.
—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 any time—it saves
energy and prolongs the life of the 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 the oven should ignite,
keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and
disconnect the power cord, or shut off power
at the fuse or circuit breaker panel. If the door is
opened, the fire may spread.
• 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.
• This microwave oven is not approved or tested
for marine use.
4

Important Safety Instructions
• Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even with
the lid off. Make sure all infant food is thoroughly
cooked. Stir food to distribute the heat evenly. Be
careful to prevent scalding when warming
formula or breast milk. The container may feel
cooler than the milk really is. Always test the milk
before feeding the baby.
• Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure
will build up inside the 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 should be pierced to allow
steam to escape during cooking.
• 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 guide.
TV dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less
than 3/4 inch high; remove the top foil cover and
return tray to box. When using metal in the
microwave oven, keep metal at least one 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.
• 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. Allow the container to stand in the oven
for 30 to 40 seconds after the oven has shut off.
• When cooking pork, follow the directions
exactly and always cook the meat to an internal
temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that,
in the remote possibility that trichina may be
present in the meat, it will be killed and the
meat will be safe to eat.
• Do not use a thermometer in food you are
microwaving unless the thermometer is designed
or recommended for use in the microwave oven.
• Oversized food or oversized metal cookware
should not be used in a microwave oven.
Electrical shock or fire could occur.
• 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.
• 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.
• As with any appliance, close supervision is
necessary when used by children.
• Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use
in microwave ovens. Check the package for
proper use.
• “Boilable” cooking pouches and tightly closed
plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as
directed on the 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.
• 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, allow the container to stand in
the oven for 30 to 40 seconds after the oven has
shut off.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
Self-Cleaning Lower Oven:
• Stand away from the cooking center when
opening the oven door. The hot air or steam
which escapes can cause burns to hands, face
and/or eyes.
• Do not heat unopened food containers in the
oven. Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
• Keep the oven vent duct unobstructed.
• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
• Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or
near your oven.
• Keep the cooking center clean and free of
accumulations of grease or spillovers, which
may ignite.
• Never leave the oven door open when you are
not watching the cooking center.
• Place the oven shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If shelves must be handled
when hot, do not let pot holder contact heating
units in the oven.
• Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls.
• When using cooking or roasting bags in oven,
follow the manufacturer’s directions.
• Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch fire.
• Do not store anything in your oven. These items
may catch fire, and plastic items may melt.
Always keep the oven clear and free of items that
may burn.
• Do not line the oven bottom with aluminum
foil. Do not use aluminum foil except as
suggested in this guide.
• After broiling, always take the broiler pan out
of the oven and clean it. Leftover grease on the
broiler pan can catch fire the next time you use
the pan.
• Clean only parts listed in this Use and
Care Guide.
• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
• Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial
oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating
of any kind should be used in or around any part
of the oven. Residue from oven cleaners will
damage the inside of the oven when the self-
cleaning cycle is used.
• Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning cycle.
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler
pan and other cookware.
• Listen for a fan— a fan noise should be heard
sometime during the cleaning cycle. If not, call
for service before self-cleaning again.
• If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,
turn off and disconnect the power supply.
Have it serviced by a qualified technician.

• Prepackaged frozen dinners can be defrosted and
microwaved. If foods are in a foil container, transfer
them to a microwave-safe dish.
• For even defrosting, some foods need to be broken
apart or separated during the defrosting time.
• Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish,
stuffings, poultry and pork, should not be allowed
to sit for more than one hour before or after
defrosting. Room temperature promotes the
growth of harmful bacteria.

AUTO SENSOR CONTROLS
The Auto Sensor Controls allow you to cook most of
your favorite foods without having to select cooking
times and power levels. By using the Auto Sensor
Controls, REHEAT and POPCORN pads, your
microwave does all the work for you.
A sensor will detect the amount of steam escaping
from foods and automatically adjust the cooking
power level and cooking time. This method takes all
the guess work out of cooking. When the foods have
cooked, the control automatically shuts off the oven.
How to Set Your Microwave Using the Auto Sensor Controls

Notes on Auto Sensor Cooking
• The Auto Sensor Controls work by detecting a
build-up of steam on the sensor. As foods cook
steam is produced. When the steam is detected by
the sensor, the oven automatically calculates the
remaining cooking time.
• When using the Auto Sensor Controls the oven door
should not be opened for longer than one minute.
Opening the door may cause inaccurate cooking
results. The oven door may be opened to stir, turn or
add foods when cooking time begins to count down
in the display.
• The room temperature should not be above 95°F.
when using the Auto Sensor Controls.
• Do not use the Auto Sensor Controls for foods that
are less than 4 ounces. Foods less than 4 ounces
should be cooked by power and time only.
• When using the Auto Sensor Controls, make sure
the glass tray in the oven is dry to assure the best
cooking results.
• For proper cooking results, be sure to cover foods
completely with vented plastic wrap (except
potatoes). Do not cover potatoes. Place foods in a
casserole dish with a properly fitting lid that does
not seal. DO NOT use plastic snap-on lids.
• KEEP THE MICROWAVE OVEN DOOR
CLOSED. Do not open the microwave oven door
while “AUTO” is displayed. Steam escaping from
the oven can affect cooking performance. If the
door is opened, close the door and press START
immediately.

Using Auto Sensor Reheat
Use Auto Sensor Reheat when foods need a quick
warm-up. The reheat feature reheats one to three
servings of previously cooked foods. To use this
feature: 1. Press REHEAT.
2. Press START.
The sensor will detect the steam from the foods and
adjust the power level and heating time for you.
• Do not reheat bread and pastry products. Use
manual power and time.
• Do not reheat raw or uncooked food.
• You cannot use Auto Sensor Reheat if the microwave
oven cavity is warm. The display will let you know
if the cavity is too warm for the sensor to work
properly. You can still time cook in the microwave
by choosing your own cooking time instead of using
Auto Sensor Reheat.
• Do not reheat beverages.
• Do not reheat frozen foods.
For best results when using Auto Sensor Reheat
follow these recommendations:
• Follow the directions given in the recipes. Use the
proper container.
• Foods should always be covered loosely but
completely. Use a casserole lid which does not seal
or vented plastic wrap. DO NOT USE ANY SNAP
CLOSING LIDS.
• When covering dishes with
plastic wrap, securely mold
the wrap around the sides of
the dish and then vent one
corner or side. Bones should
not pierce through the wrap.
Large dishes may need two
overlapping pieces of vented
plastic wrap.
CAUTION: Steam builds under plastic wrap and
lids. Use caution when removing them from the
containers. It is best to remove the wrap or lid from
the side away from you to first release the steam.
• All foods must be previously cooked and must be at
room temperature or refrigerator temperature.
• Foods weighing less than 4 ounces and more than 32
ounces should be reheated by power and time only.
• Foods should have a covered standing time of 3 to
5 minutes.

Using the More/Less Pad
After using Auto Sensor Cooking a few times, you
may decide you would prefer your foods cooked for
more or less time. The preprogrammed Auto Sensor
cooking time can be adjusted using the MORE/LESS
pad. If you are satisfied with the cooking results using
only the Auto Sensor Controls you will not need to
use the MORE/LESS pad.
To use the MORE/LESS pad:
1. Press the desired Auto Sensor food pad.
2. Press MORE/LESS once for more cooking time or
twice for less cooking time.

Using Auto Sensor Defrosting Conversion Chart for Auto Defrost
AUTO DEFROST allows you to defrost meat, poultry
and seafood by weight using the auto sensor of your
microwave oven. When you set the exact weight of
the foods the sensor automatically sets just the right
defrost time and changes the power levels during
defrosting to give even results.
After auto defrosting, meat needs to stand in order to
let the inside defrost. You may take the food out of the
oven during this standing time.
You must set the weight of foods by pounds and
ounces. 1. Press 1 LB to set the pound weight.
Each time the pad is pressed the weight
increases by 1 pound.
2. Press 1 OZ to set the ounces you need.
During auto defrosting, the control will beep to let
you know when to turn foods.

General Information on Auto Sensor Defrosting
• The shape and size of food will determine the
maximum weight the oven can accommodate.
The recommended maximum weight is:
• 4 lbs. for meats
• 6 lbs. for poultry
• 3 lbs. for seafood
• The standing time or power level may be programmed
after AUTO DEFROST is pressed. Set a standing
time or power level and then press START. After the
Auto Defrost function is finished the standing time
or power level will automatically follow.
• For successful defrosting meats should be packaged
properly for freezing. Freeze meats, poultry and fish
in packages with only 1 or 2 layers of food. To aid in
separating layers, place two pieces of wax paper
between layers. Package in heavy-duty plastic wraps,
bags or freezer paper.
• Meats packaged in grocery stores are labeled with
weight in pounds and hundredths of a pound. You will
need to convert this weight into ounces.
• Place roasts and whole poultry on a microwave-safe
rack in a microwave-safe dish in the oven. Check
food for warm spots halfway through defrosting, and
shield these areas with small pieces of foil.

MICROWAVE TIPS
• Make sure all the 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.”
• 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 for 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.
• Non-recycled paper towels, wax 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. See 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.
All these things are normal with your
microwave oven:
• Steam or vapor escaping from around the door.
• Light reflection around the door or the outer case.
• Dimming of the oven light and change in the blower
sound may occur while operating at power levels
other than high.
• The microwave fan may operate with both ovens
off. It is cooling the control and will turn itself off.
• Some TV-radio interference might be noticed while
using your microwave oven. It’s similar to the
interference caused by other small appliances and
does not indicate a problem with your oven.
• A dull thumping sound while the oven is operating.
Containers, Lids and Plastics
• Use microwave-safe
casseroles or bowls for
entrees and vegetables.
Cover with lids that fit.
If lids are not available,
use plastic wrap or wax
paper. Plastic wrap should
be vented over the food to
allow for escaping steam.
Seal by pressing plastic
wrap firmly around edges.
• For frozen foods in metal
trays, remove the foil
covering the food; reinsert
the tray into the box and
close the ends of the box.
• Slit plastic pouches 1 inch.
Break food up thoroughly
after oven signals.
• Plastic wrap covering
should be vented over the
food to allow for escaping
steam. Seal by pressing
plastic wrap firmly around
edges.
• While paper plates may
be used for timed cooking
and defrosting, do not use
them with Auto Sensor
cooking. Use microwave-
safe plates or bowls for
reheating. Cover with
plastic wrap.
