Tips
eMake sure all utensils used in
your microwave oven are labeled
“suitable for microwaving”. Check
-w~urcookbook for specific teSt
~todetermin e’’microwave-safe”
utensils.
@Papertowels, waxpaper, and
plastic wrap can beused tocover
dishes in order to retain moisture
and prevent spattering.
@Some microwaved foods require
stirring, rotating, or rearranging.
Check your Cookbook for specific
instructions.
aSome foods such as unshelled
eggs and hot dogs must be pierced
to allow steam to escape during
cooking.

When usingelectrical appliances
basic safety precautions should
be followed, including the
following:
WARNING—TOreducethe risk
of burns,electric shock, fire,
injury to personsor exposureto
excessivemicrowaveenergy:
oUsethis appliance only for its
intended useas described in this
manual.
eReadand follow the specific
“PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
POSSIBLEEXPOSURETO
EXCESSIVEMICROWAVE
ENERGY”found on page 2.
0This appliance must be
grounded. Connect only to
properly grounded outlet. See
“GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS”
found on page 11.
0For best operation, plug this
appliance into its own electrical
outlet, to prevent flickering of
lights, blowing of fuse or trip-
ping of circuit breaker.
eInstall or locate this appliance
only in accordance with the pro-
vided installation instructions.
eBe certain to place the front
surface of the door three inches
or more back from the counter-
top edge to avoid accidental tip-
ping of the appliance in normal
usage.
@Do not cover or block any
openings on the appliance.
@Do not use outdoors.
@Do not immerse power cord
or plug in water.
*Keep power cord away from
heated surfaces.
aDo not let power cord hang
over edge of table or counter.
21 Do not operate this appliance
if it has adamaged power cord
or plug, if it is not working prop-
erly, or if it has been damaged
or dropped.
‘See door surface cleaning
instructions en page 10.
0This appliance should be ser-
viced only by qualified service
personnel.Contact nearest
authorizedservicefacility for
repairor adjustment.
oAs with any appliance,close
supervisionis nec$sswywhen
usedby children.
●To reducethe risk of fire in
the ovencavity:
—Do not overcook food. Care-
fully attendappliance if paper,
plastic,or other combustible
materialsare placed insidethe
ovento facilitate cooking.
—-Removewire twist-ties from
paperor plastic bagsbefore
placing bag in oven.
—Do not useyour microwave
ovento dry newspapers.
—Paper towels and napkins,
wax paper. Recycledpaper
products can contain metal
flecks which may causearcing
or ignite. Paperproducts con-
taining nylon or nylon filaments
should be avoided, as they may
also ignite.
—Do not pop popcorn in your
microwave oven unless in aspe-
cial microwave popcorn acces-
sory or unless you use popcorn
labeled for use in microwave
ovens.
—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 aminute or two, no harm
is done. However, try to avoid
operating the oven empty at all
times—it saves energy and pro-
longs life of the oven.
—If materials inside the oven
should ignite, keep oven door
closed, turn oven off, and dis-
connect the power cord, or shut
off power at the fuse or circuit
breaker panel.

SAFETY
{continued)
aSome products such as
whole eggs and sealed con-
tainers—for example, closed
glass jars—may explode and
should not be heated in this
oven.
oAvoid heating baby food in
glass jars, even without their
lids; especially meat and egg
mixtures.
eDon’tdefrost frozen bever-
ages in narrow necked bottles;
especially carbonated ones.
Even if the container is opened,
pressure can build up. This can
cause the container to burst,
resulting in injury.
eUse metal only as directed in
Cookbook. Metal strips as used
on meat roasts are helpful when
used as shown in Cookbook.
TV dinners may be cooked in
metal trays. However, when
using metal in microwave oven,
keep metal at least l-inch away
from sides of oven.
eCooking utensils may
become hot because of heat
transferred from the heated
food. This is especially true if
plastic wrap has been covering
the top and handles of the uten-
sil. Potholders may be needed
to handle the utensil.
oSometimes, the oven floor
can become too hot to touch.
Be careful touching the floor
during and after cooking.
eDo not use any thermometer
in food you are microwaving
unless that thermometer is
designed or recommended for
use in the microwave oven.
aPlastic Utensils—Plastic
utensils designed for microwave
cooking are very useful, but
should be used carefully. Even
microwave plastic may not be as
tolerant of overcooking condi-
tions as are glass or ceramic
materials and may soften or
char if subjected to short periods
of overcooking. In longer expo-
sures to overcooking, the food
and utensils could ignite, For
these reasons: 1)Use micro-
wave plastics only “and use
them” in strict compliance with
the utensil manufacturer’s
recommendations. 2) Do not
subject empty utensils to micro-
waving. 3) Do not permit children
to use plastic utensils without
complete supervision.
oWhen cooking pork follow
our directions exactly and
always cook the meat to at least
170°. 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.
eBoiling eggs (in and out of
she!!) is not recommended for
microwave cooking. Pressure
can build up inside egg yolk and
may cause it to burst, resulting
in injury.
eFoods with unbroken outer
“skin”such as potatoes, hot
dogs or sausages, tomatoes,
apples, chicken livers and other
giblets, and eggs (see above)
should be pierced to allow
steam to escape during cooking.
@‘*Boilable”cooking pouches
and tightly closed plasticbags o
should be slit, p~ercedor vented
as directed in Cookbook. If they
are not, plastic could burst dur-
ing or immediatelyaftercooking,
possibly resulting in injury. Also,
plastic storage containers should
be at least partially uncovered
because they form atight seal.
When cooking with containers
tightly covered with plastic
wrap, remove covering carefully
and direct steam away from
hands and face.

Questionsand Answers
Q. Whatwill happenif Iaccidentally

A. The oven automatically rear-
rangesyour program. Defrosting
alwayscomes first, then hold, and
then the cooking function.
Q. Can 1defrostandholdonly?
A. Yes.Sometimes you may only
want to defrost afood, hold it, and
cook it later. All you needto do is
program in Defrost and amount of
time. Then program Hold and the
amount of time. Be sure to put the
thawed dish in the refrigerator
promptly.
NOTE: Let foods remain at room
temperature only as long as safe.
Times will vary.
Q. Iprogrammedmyovenfora

Whathappened?
A. When instructions conflict, the
oven carries out the last instruction.
Youmay haveset the oven to
defrost for 4minutes, hold for
2minutes, and then defrost for
6minutes. In this case,the oven
would defrost for 6minutes and
hold for 2minutes and ignore your
first defrost instruction.

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 recep-
tacle 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 havethe circuit checked by
aqualified 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 ter-
minal is very likely to break with
repeated use. Should this happen,
DO NOT USE the appliance until
aproper ground has again been
established.

Useof ExtensionCords
Becauseof potential safety hazards
under certainconditions westrongly
recommend againstthe useof an

necessaryto usean extension cord,
useonly a3-wire extension cord
that hasa3-blade grounding plug,
and a 3-slot receptaclethat will
accept the plug on the appliance.
The marked rating of the extension
cord shall beequal to or greater
than the electrical rating of the
appliance (15amperes.)
