Arcing is the microwave term
for sparks in the oven. Arcing is
caused by:
■Metal or foil touching the
side of the oven.
■Foil not molded to food
(upturned edges act like
antennas).
■Metal, such as twist-ties,
poultry pins, or gold-rimmed
dishes, in the microwave.
■Recycled paper towels
containing small metal pieces
being used in the microwave.
■Do not pop popcorn in your
microwave oven unless you
use a special microwave
popcorn accessory or unless
you use popcorn labeled for
use in microwave ovens.
■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.
■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.
■Operating the microwave
with no food inside for more
than a minute or two may
cause damage to the oven
and could start a fire. It
increases the heat around the
magnetron and can shorten
the life of the oven.
■Foods with unbroken outer
“skin” such as potatoes, hot
dogs, sausages, tomatoes,
apples, chicken livers and
other giblets, and egg yolks
should be pierced to allow
steam to escape during

Troubleshooting TipsOperating InstructionsSafety Information
■SUPERHEATED WATER
Microwaved water and other
liquids do not always bubble
when they reach the boiling
point. They can actually get
superheated and not bubble
at all.
Superheated liquid will bubble
up out of the cup when it is
moved or when something like
a spoon or tea bag is put into it.
To prevent this from happening
and causing injury, do not heat
any liquid for more than 2
minutes per cup. After heating,
let the cup stand in the
microwave for 30 seconds
before moving it or putting
anything into it.
■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. The container may
feel cooler than the formula
really is. Always test the
formula 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.
■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 the container 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 overflow.
■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.
■Do not overcook potatoes.
They could dehydrate and
catch fire, causing damage
to your oven.
■Cook meat and poultry
thoroughly—meat to at least
an INTERNAL temperature of
160°F. and poultry to at least
an INTERNAL temperature of
180°F. Cooking to these
temperatures usually protects
against food-borne illness.

Make sure all 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 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.
■If you use a meat
thermometer while cooking,
make sure it is safe for use
in microwave ovens.
■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.
■Some styrofoam trays (like
those that meat is packaged
on) have a thin strip of metal
embedded in the bottom.
When microwaved, the metal
can burn the floor of the
oven or ignite a paper towel.
■Do not use the microwave to
dry newspapers.
■Not all plastic wrap is suitable
for use in microwave ovens.
Check the package for
proper use.
■Paper towels, waxed 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.
■Cookware may become hot
because of heat transferred
from the heated food. Pot
holders may be needed to
handle the cookware.

Troubleshooting TipsOperating InstructionsSafety Information
■“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 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 at least
1 inch away from the sides
of the oven.
■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.
Follow these guidelines:
Use microwave-safe
plastics only and use
them in strict compliance
with the cookware
manufacturer’s
recommendations.
Do not microwave empty
containers.
Do not permit children
to use plastic cookware
without complete
supervision.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical
short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a grounding
wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if
doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal
responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground)
prong from the power cord.
We do not recommend using an extension cord with this
appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.
(See WARNING—EXTENSION CORDS section.)
For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical
outlet to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping
of circuit breaker.

WARNING!
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of
electric shock.

Consumer Support
Troubleshooting TipsOperating InstructionsSafety Information
Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be disconnected
infrequently.
Because of potential safety
hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against the
use of an adapter plug. However, if
you still elect to use an adapter,
where local codes permit, a
TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be
made to a properly grounded two-
prong wall receptacle by the use of a
UL listed adapter which is available
at most local hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot
in the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection
of the power cord.
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall
receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover
screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded
through the house wiring.
You should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to
make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold
the adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground
terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should this
happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has
|again been established.
Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be disconnected
frequently.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because frequent
disconnection of the power cord places undue strain on the
adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground
terminal. You should have the two-prong wall receptacle replaced
with a three-prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician
before using the appliance.

WARNING!
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords may be used if you are careful in using them.
If an extension cord is used—
The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be
at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord and
it must be plugged into a 3-slot outlet;
The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not
drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
If you use an extension cord, the interior light may flicker and the
blower sound may vary when the microwave oven is on. Cooking
times may be longer, too.

Defrost
This setting allows you to defrost for the length of time you select.
See the Defrosting Guide for suggested times.
A dull thumping noise may be heard during defrosting. This
sound is normal when the oven is not operating at Cook.
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. Plastic storage
containers should be at least partially uncovered.
■Family-size, prepackaged frozen dinners can be defrosted
and microwaved. If the food is in a foil container, transfer it
to a microwave-safe dish.
■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.
■Be sure large meats are completely defrosted before cooking.
■When defrosted, food should be cool but softened in all areas.
If still slightly icy, return to the microwave very briefly, or let it
stand a few minutes.

Microwave terms.
Arcing Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is
caused by:
■metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
■foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like
antennas).
■metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes.
■recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.
Covering Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce
cooking time. Venting plastic wrap or covering with wax paper
allows excess steam to escape.
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.
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 important in microwave cooking. Note that a
microwaved cake is not placed on a cooling rack.
Venting After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by
turning back one corner so excess steam can escape.

Care and cleaning of the microwave oven.
Helpful Hints
Open the oven door a few minutes after cooking to air
out the inside. An occasional thorough wiping with a
solution of baking soda and water keeps the inside fresh.
Unplug the cord before cleaning any part of this oven.
How to Clean the Inside
Walls, Floor, Inside Window, Metal and Plastic Parts on
the Door
Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel,
others may require a damp cloth. Remove greasy
spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse with a damp
cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp utensils
on oven walls.
Never use a commercial oven cleaner on any part of your
microwave.
Removable Turntable and Turntable Support
To prevent breakage, do not place the turntable into
water just after cooking. Wash it carefully in warm, sudsy
water or in the dishwasher. The turntable and support
can be broken if dropped. Remember, do not operate
the oven without the turntable and support in place.

How to Clean the Outside
Do not use cleaners containing ammonia or alcohol on the
microwave oven. Ammonia or alcohol can damage the
appearance of the microwave.
Case
Clean the outside of the microwave with a sudsy cloth.
Rinse and then dry. Wipe the window clean with a
damp cloth.
Control Panel and Door
Wipe with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use
cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water,
abrasives or sharp objects on the panel—they can
damage it. Some paper towels can also scratch the
control panel.
Door Surface
It’s important to keep the area clean where the
door seals against the microwave. Use only mild,
non-abrasive detergents applied with a clean sponge
or soft cloth. Rinse well.
