PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE
TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
(a) Do Not Attempt to operate this oven with
the door open since open-door operation can
result in harmful exposure to microwave
energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper
with the safety interlocks.
(b) Do Not Place any object between the oven
front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner
residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
(c) Do Not Operate the oven if it is damaged. It is
particularly important that the oven door close
properly and that there is no damage to the:
(1) door (bent)
(2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened)
(3) door seals and sealing surfaces.
(d) The Oven Should Not be adjusted or repaired
by anyone except properly qualified service
personnel.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the
following:
A WA~lNG-Toreducetheriskof
burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons
or exposure
to excessive microwave energy:
● Read and follow the specific “Precautions to
Avoid Possible Exposure to Excessive Microwave
Energy” on the previous page.
● This appliance must be grounded. Connect
only to properly grounded outlet. See Grounding
Instructions section in the back of this book.
● 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 oven is specifically designed to heat
or cook food, and is not intended for laboratory
or industrial use,
● For best operation, plug this appliance into its
own electrical outlet, to prevent fickering of
lights, blowing effuse or tripping of circuit
breaker.
● Instill or locate this appliance only in
accordance with the provided Installation
Instructions.
● Be certain to place the front surface of the door
three inches or more back from the countertop
edge to avoid accidental tipping of the
appliance in normal usage.
● Do not cover or block any openings on the
appliance.
● Do not store this app~ance outdoors. Do not use
this product near water—for example, in a wet
basement, near a swimming pool or near a sink.
● This microwave oven is not approved or tested
for marine use.
● Do not immerse power cord or plug in water.
● Keep power cord away from heated surfaces.
● Do not let power cord hangover 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.
c Do not operate oven without the turntible and
turntable support seated and in place.
● Do not allow turntable to be restricted so the
turntable cannot rotate.
● See door surface cleaning instructions in the Care
and Cleaning section(s) of your 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.
—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 accesso~
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,

~PORTANT SAFEH ~STRUCTIONS
(continued)
—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 use the oven for storage purposes.
Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils
or food in the oven when not in use.
—H 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 metrd in the microwave oven,
keep metal at least 1 inch away from sides
of oven.
%
● Cookware may become hot
because of heat transfemed from
the heated food. Pot holders may
be needed to handle the cookware.
● Sometimes, the turntable can become too hot
to touch. Be careful touching the turntable 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 Care
and Cleaning section(s) 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.
Plastic cookwar*Plastic cookw~e 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°F. 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 we in
microwave ovens. Check the package for
proper use.
w
● 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” coo~ng pouches and tightiy 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 beat least partially uncovered
because they form a tight seal.
Men cooking
with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap,
remove covering carefully and direct steam away
from hands and face.
● Hot foods and steam ean muse
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.

Defrosting Tips
● Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted in
the package. Tightly closed packages should be slit,
pierced or vented,
A~ER food has partially
defrosted, as directed by package. Plastic storage
containers should be at least partially uncovered.
● 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.
● For even defrosting, some foods need to be broken
up or separated part of the way through the
defrosting time.
● Foods that spoil easily, 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.

GLOSSARY OF MICROWAVE TERMS
When adapting recipes for the microwave, it is
best to start with a familiar recipe. Knowing how
the food should look and taste will help when
adapting recipes for microwaving. Foods that
require browning or crisp, dry surfaces
will
cook better in regular ovens.
● Moist foods, such as vegetables, fruits, poultry and
seafood, microwave well.
● Rich foods, such as bar cookies, moist cakes and
candies,
are suitable for microwaving because of
their high fat and sugar content.
● Reduce regular oven cooking times by one-half to
one-third. Check food after minimum time to avoid
overcooking.
● Small amounts of butter or oil can be used for
flavoring, but are not needed to prevent sticking.
● Seasonings may need to be reduced. Salt meats and
vegetables after cooking.
Covering. In both regular baking and microwave
cooking, covers hold in moisture, allow for more
even heating and reduce cooking time. In regular
ovens, partial covering allows excess steam to escape.
Venting plastic wrap or covering with wax paper
serves the same purpose when microwaving.
Venting. After covering a dish with plastic wrap,
you vent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner
so excess steam can escape.
Arranging Food in Oven. When baking in regular
ovens, you position foods, such as cake layers or
potatoes, so hot air can flow around them. When
microwaving, you arrange foods in a ring, so that all
sides are exposed to microwave energy.
Stirring. In range-top cooking, you stir foods up from
the bottom to heat them evenly. When microwaving,
you stir cooked portions from the outside to the center.
Foods that require constant stirring will need only
occasional stirring when microwaving.
Turning Over. In range-top cooking, you turn over
foods, such as hamburgers, so both sides can directly
contact the hot pan. When microwaving, turning is
often needed during defrosting or when cooking
certain foods, such as frozen hamburgers.
Standing Time. When you cook with regular ovens,
foods such as roasts or cakes are allowed to stand to
finish cooking or to set. Standing time is especially
impoflant in microwave cooking. Note that a
microwaved cake is not placed on a cooling rack.
Shielding. In a regular oven, you shield chicken
breasts or baked foods to prevent over-browning.
When microwaving, you use small strips of foil to
shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs
on poultry, which would cook before larger parts.
Arcing. Sparks caused by too much metal in the
microwave oven or metal touching the side of the
oven or foil that is not molded to food.
Prick Foods to Release Pressure. Steam builds up
pressure in foods that are tightly covered by a skin or
membrane. Prick foods, such as potatoes (as you do
before regular oven cooking), egg yolks and chicken
livers, to prevent bursting.
Rotating. Occasionally, repositioning a dish in the
oven helps food cook more evenly. To rotate 1/2 turn,
turn the dish until the side that was to the back of the
oven is to the front. To rotate 1/4 turn, turn the dish
until the side that was to the back of the oven is to
the side.
Basic Microwave Guidelines
Density of Food. In both regular baking and
microwave cooking, dense foods, such as potatoes,
take longer to cook than light, porous foods, such as
rolls, bread or pieces of cake.
Round Shapes. Since microwaves penetrate foods to
about one inch from top, bottom and sides, round
shapes and rings cook more evenly. Corners receive
more energy and may overcook. This may also
happen when cooking in a regular oven.
Delicacy. Foods with a delicate texture, such as
custards, are best cooked at lower power settings to
avoid toughening.
Natural Moisture of food affects how it cooks. Very
moist foods cook evenly because microwave energy
is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven
in moisture should be covered or allowed to stand so
it heats evenly.
Piece Size. Small pieces cook faster than large ones.
Pieces that are similar in size and shape cook more
evenly. With large pieces of food, reduce the power
setting for even cooking.
Shape of Food. In both types of cooking, thin areas
cook faster than thick areas. This can be controlled in
microwaving by placing thick pieces near the outside
edge and thin pieces in the center.
Starting Temperature. Foods taken from the freezer
or refrigerator take longer to cook than foods at room
temperature. Timings in our recipes are based on the
temperatures at which you normally store the foods.
Quantity of Food. In both types of cooking, small
amounts usually take less time than large amounts.
This is most apparent in microwave cooking, where
time is directly related to the number of servings.
