If you received a
damaged oven...
Immediately contact the dealer
(or builder) that sold you the oven.
Save time and money.
Before you request service...
Check the Problem Solver in the
back of this book. It lists causes of
minor operating problems that you
can correct yourself.
All these things are normal
with your microwave oven.
● Dimming oven light and change
in blower sound may occur while
operating at power levels other
than high.
● Dull, thumping sound while oven
is operating.
● 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.
● Steam or vapor escaping from
around the door.
● Light reflection around door or
outer case.
● During cooking you will hear
“cracking” and “popping” noises
which are nothing more than
normal expansion of the oven.
● At the end of microwave cycles
you will hear a slight thump. This
is normal.
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE
TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
(a) Do Not Attempt to operate this oven with
(c)
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
Do Not Operate the oven if it is damaged. It is
particularly important that the oven door close

When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the
following:
A WARNING-Toreduce thetiskof
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 section on the previous page.
● This appliance must be grounded. Connect only
to properly grounded outlet. Seethe Grounding
Instructions section in the back of this book,
● Use this a~~liance onlv for its intended use as
●
described”ih this manfial. 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 flickering
of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit
breaker.
● 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, near a swimming pool or near a sink.
● This microwave oven is not approved or tested
for marine use.
Q Do not store anything directly on top of
the microwave oven surface when the oven
is
in operation.
● Do not immerse power cord or plug in water.
c Keep power cord away from heated surfaces.
● Do not let power cord hang over edge of table
or counter.
● Do not operate this apptiance 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 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 microwav~ 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 2, 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.

WORTANT SAFE~ ~STRUCTIONS
(continued)
—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.
● 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, ~ert using metal in the microwave oven,
keep meti (other than meti shelfl 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,
o Sometimes9 the oven floor and walls can
become too hot to touch. Be careful touching the
floor and walls during and after cooking,
● Foods cooked in liqdds (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.
Q Thermometer—Do not use regular cooking or
oven thermometers when microwave cooking.
The metal and mercury in these thermometers
could cause “arcing” and possible damage to the
oven. 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, damage oven
walls and damage the temperature probe.
● Plastic cookwar+Plastic cookware designed
for microwave cooking is very useful, but should
be used carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic
may not be as toIerant 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 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.
4

● Some products such as whole eggs and
sealed containers—for example, closed
glass
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.
● “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 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 can cause
burns. Be careful when opening
any containers of hot food, including
* Use of the shek 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.
me shelf could overheat.
—Use the shelf only when cooking on 2 levels.

DEFROSTING BY TME
Time Defrost (Power Level 3)
Time Defrost is designed for speedy thawing of
frozen food and is one of the great advantages of
a microwave oven.
Use Time Defrost to quickly thaw foods such as
bread, rolls, vegetables, fruits and frozen dinners.
The Auto Defrost setting is preferred for meat and
poultry because the oven sets the defrosting time
and power levels for you.
● Power level 3 is automatically set when you press
Time Defrost pad, but you may change this for more
flexibility.
How to Change Power Level
1. Press TIME DEFROST.
2. Select defrosting time.
3. Press POWER LEVEL.
4. Select power.
5. Press START.
To become better acquainted with the defrost
function, defrost a 10 oz. package of frozen
strawberries by following the steps below.
Step 1: Place a package of frozen strawberries in
the oven and close door. Be sure package contains
no metal.

Step 3: Select one half of the total defrosting time

Step 4: Touch START. When

the cycle is completed, the oven
signals and flashes “End,” then
automatically shuts off.
Step 5: Turn the package over, close the door
and repeat Steps 2 and 3 to set remaining half
of defrosting time. Touch START.
Step 6: When the oven signals and flashes “End,”
open the door, remove the package and separate
strawberries to finish defrosting.
Defrosting Tips
● Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted
in the package. Tightly closed packages should be
slit, pierced or vented, AFTER 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.
c 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 1 hour after defrosting. Room
temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.
