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.
Arcing
•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.
•Some products such as whole
eggs and sealed containers—for
example, closed jars—are able
to 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
cooking.
•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.
Foods
If you see arcing, press the
PAUSE/CLEAR pad and
correct the problem.

•SAFETY FACT
SUPERHEATED WATER
Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea
are able to be overheated beyond
the boiling point without appearing
to be boiling. Visible bubbling or
boiling when the container is
removed from the microwave oven
is not always present. THIS COULD
RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS
SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN
THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR
A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS
INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to
persons:
— Do not overheat the liquid.
— Stir the liquid both before and
halfway through heating it.
— Do not use straight-sided
containers with narrow necks.
— After heating, allow the container
to stand in the microwave oven
for a short time before removing
the container.
— Use extreme care when inserting
a spoon or other utensil into the
container.
•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.
•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 foodborne
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.
•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.
•“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″away from the sides
of the oven.
If you use a meat
thermometer while cooking,
make sure it is safe for use
in microwave ovens.

•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:
1Use microwave-safe plastics only
and use them in strict compliance
with the cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations.
2Do not microwave empty
containers.
3Do 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.
PREFERRED
METHOD
Ensure proper ground
exists before use
WARNING—Improper
use of the grounding
plug can result in a
risk of electric shock.

Important Safety Information
Grounding Instructions
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 2-prong wall receptacle
replaced with a 3-prong (grounding)
receptacle by a qualified electrician
before using the appliance.
Use of Adapter Plugs
TEMPORARY METHOD
Ensure proper ground
and firm connection
before use
Align large
prongs/slots
(Adapter plugs not permitted
in Canada
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—
1The marked electrical rating of the
extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the
appliance;
2The extension cord must be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord and it
must be plugged into a 3-slot outlet;
3The 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.

Operating Instructions
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. Hi or full
power is the fastest way to cook
and gives you 100% 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.
Power level Hi will cook faster
but food may need additional
attention such as frequent stirring,
rotating or turning over. Most of
your cooking will be done on Hi.
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.
Here are some examples of uses
for various power levels:
Power Level Best Uses
Hi Fish, bacon,
vegetables, boiling
liquids.
Med-High 7 Gentle cooking of
meat and poultry;
baking casseroles
and reheating.
Medium 5 Slow cooking and
tenderizing such as
stews and less tender
cuts of meat.
Low 3 Defrosting without
cooking; simmering;
delicate sauces.
Warm 1 Keeping food warm
without overcooking;
softening butter.

Time Features
Allows you to defrost for the
length of time you select. See the
Defrosting Guide for suggested
times.
Power level 3 is automatically set.
A dull thumping noise may be
heard during defrosting. This
sound is normal when the oven
is not operating at Hi power.
You may defrost foods by using
higher power levels; however, they
will need more frequent attention
than usual.
Power level 7 cuts the total
defrosting time in about half;
power level Hi cuts the total time
to approximately 1/3. Rearrange
or stir food frequently.
If you want to defrost foods at
a power level other than 3,
you must use the Time Cooking
function by selecting power level
and then entering the time.
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.
•For more even defrosting of
larger foods, such as beef, lamb
and veal roasts, use Auto Defrost.
•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.
