IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using your appliance.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the
following:
A WA~NING-Toreduce theriskof
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 guide,
● Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this guide.
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.
c 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.
● Keep power cord away from heated surfaces.
● Do not let power cord hang over edge of table
or counter.
* Do not operate this appliance if it has a
damaged power cord or plug, ifit 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 this guide.
s 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
necessa~ 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 and metal handles
from paper or plastic containers before
placing them in the 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 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 all
times—
it saves energy and prolongs the life of the oven.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
—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 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 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.
● 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 foil only as directed in this guide. TV
dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less than
3/4” high; remove the top foil cover and return the
tray to the box. When using foil in the microwave
oven, keep the foil (other than metal shelf) at
least 1 inch away from the sides of the oven.
*
● Cookware may become hot because
of heat transferred from the heated
food. Pot holders may be needed to
handle the cookware.
● Sometimes, 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 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.
Q 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 and damage
oven walls.
● 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.
● 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.
I t?,
*
● Hot foods and steam can cause
.,-,.. . A
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.
4

● 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, we
recommend the following: before removing the
container from the oven, allow it to stand in the
oven for 30 to 40 seconds after the oven has shut
off.
Do not boil liquids in narrow-necked
containers such as soft drink bottles, wine
flasks and especially narrow-necked coffee
cups.
Even if the container is opened, excessive
steam can build up and cause it to burst or
ovefflow.
● ~~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 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.
● Use of the shelf 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.
The shelf could overheat.
—Use the shelf only when cooking on 2 levels.
—Be sure that the shelf is positioned properly inside
the oven to prevent product damage. Use of shelf
with Sensor Cook or Sensor Reheat is not
recommended. Do NOT use the metal shelf with
the Sensor Popcorn program (see the Sensor
Cook, Sensor Reheat or Sensor Popcorn sections).

MICROWAmG TIPS
● Make sure all cookware used in your microwave ● Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap
oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass can be used to cover dishes in order to retain
casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent
cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not plastic wrap so steam can escape.
have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen
can be used. Some cookware is labeled “suitable
for microwaving.”
9 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 1 cup of
water—set the measuring cup either in or next to the
dish. Microwave 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.
● Some microwaved foods require stirring, rotating
or rearranging. Check the Cooking Guide.
● 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.
If you use a meat thermometer while cooking,
make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.
VARIABLE POWER LEVELS (1-10)

level 1–10.
6 7 B 9 .,,~~m
5. Press START.
Variable power levels add flexibility to your microwave
cooking. The power levels on your microwave oven
can be compared to the surface units on a range. High
(Power Level 10) or full power is the fastest way to
cook and gives you
1009o power. Each power level
gives you microwave energy a certain percent of the
time. Power Level 7 is microwave energy 70% of the
time. Power Level 3 is energy 30% of the time.
A high setting (10) will cook faster but may need
additional attention such as frequent stirring, rotating
or turning over. Most of your cooking will be done
on High (Power Level 10). A lower setting will cook
more evenly and with less attention given to stirring
or rotating the food. Some foods may have better
flavor, texture or appearance if one of the lower
settings is used. You may wish to use a lower power
level when cooking foods that have a tendency to
boil over, such as scalloped potatoes.
Rest periods (when the microwave energy cycles off)
give time for the food to “equalize” or transfer heat
to the inside of the food. An example of this is shown
with Power Level 3—the defrost cycle. If microwave
energy did not cycle off, the outside of the food would
cook before the inside was defrosted.
Here are some examples of uses for various power
levels:
POWER LEVEL BEST USES

Fish, bacon, vegetables,
boiling liquids.

poultry; baking casseroles

DEFROSTING BY TIME
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 the Time Defrost setting 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.
● See the Defrosting Guide for defrosting help.

Defrosting Tips
plastic can be de}r&ted 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
defros~ed and mi&owa~ed. If the food is in a foil
container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.
-O For even defrostin~, some
foods need to be
b~oken 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.
● Check the Defrosting Guide for other defrosting tips.

noise. What is it?
A.
A. This sound is normal. It is letting you know the
magnetron is in operation.
Can
I defrost small items in a hurry?
Yes, but they will need more frequent attention
than usual. Raise the power level after entering
the time by touching the desired power level pad.
Power Level 7 cuts the total defrostitw time in
about 1/2; Power Level 10 cuts the total defrosting
time to approximately 1/3. During either, rotate or
stir food frequently.
