[] Ifyou are not sure if u dish ismicrowave-safe, usethis test:
Placein the oven both the dishyou are testing and u glass
measuring cup filled with I cup of water-set the measuring
cup either in or next to the dish. Microwave
30-/45secondsat high. Ifthe dish heats,it should not be used
for microwuving.
If the dish remains cool and onlythe water inthe cup heats,
then the dishis microwave-safe.
[] Ifyou use u meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is
safe for use in microwave ovens.
[] Do not use recycledpaper products. Recycledpaper towels,
napkins and waxed paper can contain metal fleckswhich may
cause arcing or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or
nylon filaments should be avoided, us they may alsoignite.
[] Somefoam trays (likethose that meat is packaged on)
have a thin strip of metal embedded inthe bottom. When
microwaved, the metal can burn the floor of the oven or ignite
a paper towel.
[] Do not usethe microwave to dry newspapers.
[] Not all plasticwrap issuitable for usein microwave ovens.
Checkthe package for proper use.
[] Papertowels, waxed paper and plasticwrap can be usedto
cover dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent sputtering.
Besure to vent plastic wrap so steam can escape.
[] Cookwure may become hot because of heat transferred from
the heated food. Potholders may be needed to handle the
cookwure.
[] "Bailable"cooking pouches and tightly closed plastic bags
should be slit,piercedor vented usdirected by package. If they
are not, plastic could burst during or immediately after cooking,
possiblyresulting 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
plasticwrap, remove covering carefully and direct steam away
from hands and face.
[] Usefoil only usdirected in this guide.TVdinners may be
microwuved infoil trays lessthan 3//4"high;remove the top
foil cover and return the tray to the box.When using foil in the
microwave oven, keepthe foil at least 1"away from the sides
of the oven.
[] Plasticcookwure-Plustic cookware designedfor microwave
cooking isvery useful,but should be usedcarefully. Even
microwave-safe plastic may not be us tolerant of overcooking
conditions usare glass or ceramic materials and may soften
or char ifsubjected to short periodsof overcooking. Inlonger
exposuresto overcooking, the food and cookwure could ignite.
Follow these guidelines.
1. Usemicrowave-safe plastics only and usethem in
strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer's
recommendations.
2. Donot microwave empty containers.
3. Donot permit children to useplastic cookware without
complete supervision.
THE VENTFAN
Thefan will operate automatically under certain conditions (see
Automatic Fanfeature).Take careto prevent the starting and
spreading of accidental cooking fires while the vent fan isin use.
[] Cleanthe underside of the microwave often.
Donot allow grease to build up on the microwave or the fan
filters.
[] Inthe event of a greasefire on the surface units below the
microwave oven, smother a flaming
pan on the surface unit by covering the pan completely with a
lid,a cookie sheet or a flat tray.
[]
[]
[]
Usecare when cleaning the vent fan filters. Corrosivecleaning
agents,such as lye-based oven cleaners,may damage the
filters.
When preparing flaming foods under the microwave, turn the
fan on.
Never leavesurface units beneath your microwave oven
unattended at high heat settings. Boiloverscause smoking and
greasy spilloversthat may ignite and spread ifthe microwave

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand. If this isnot done,the adapter ground
terminal isvery likelyto break with repeated use.Should this happen, DONOT USEthe appliance until a proper ground hasagain been
established.
Usage situations where appliance's power cord will be disconnected frequently.
Do not use an adapter plug in thesesituations becausefrequent disconnection of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter
and leadsto eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. You should have the 2-prong wall receptacle replacedwith a :3-prong
(grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before usingthe appliance.

Variable power levelsadd flexibility to microwave
cooking.The power levelsonthe microwave oven
can be compared to the surface units on a range.
Eachpower levelgivesyou microwave energy
a certain percent ofthe time. Power level 7 is
microwave energy 70% of the time. Power level
3 isenergy30% of the time. Mostcooking will be
done on HI which givesyou 100% power.
Power Level10will cook faster but food may
need more frequent stirring,rotating or turning
over.A lower setting will cook more evenly and
need lessstirring or rotating of the food.
Somefoods may have better flavor, texture or
appearance if one of the lower settings isused.
Usea lower power levelwhen cooking foods that
have a tendency to boilover, such asscalloped
potatoes.
Restperiods(whenthe microwave energy cycles
off) givetime for the food to "equalize"or transfer
heat to the insideof the food. An example of this
isshown with power level 3-the defrost cycle.If
microwave energy did not cycleoff, the outside
of the food would cook before the insidewas
defrosted.
Hereare some examplesof usesfor various
power levels.
Power Level10: Fish,bacon,vegetables, boiling
liquids.
Power Level 7: Gentlecooking of meat and
poultry; baking casserolesand reheating.
Power Level5: Slowcooking and tenderizing for

About the time features.
Clock Display
Time Defrost allows you to defrost for a
selected length of time. Seethe Defrosting
Guide for suggested times. (Weight Defrost is
explained in the Auto Feature section.)
!. Press Defrost Weight/Time twice.
2. Enter defrosting time.
3. Press Start/Pause.
4.Turn food over when the oven signal.
5. Press Start/Pause.
When the oven signals, turn food over and
break apart or rearrange pieces for more even
defrosting. Shield any warm areas with small
pieces of foil. The oven will continue to defrost
if you don't open the door and turn the food.
Power level isautomatically set at 3, but
can be changed. You can defrost small
items quickly by raising the power level after
entering the time. Power level 7 cuts the
total defrosting time in about half; power
level 10 cuts the total time to approximately
1/3. However, food will need more frequent
attention than usual.
A dull thumping noise may be heard during
defrosting. This is normal when oven is not
operating at High power.
Defrosting Tips
, Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be
defrosted in the package. Closed packages
should be slit, pierced or vented AFTER
food has partially defrosted. Plastic storage
containers should be 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.
, For more even defrosting of larger foods,
such as roasts, use Defrost Weight. Be sure
large meats are completely defrosted before
cooking.
, Foods that spoil easily should not be allowed
to sit out for more than one hour after
defrosting. Room temperature promotes the
growth of harmful bacteria.
,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 counts down.

About the sensor features.
Covered
Vented
The Sensor Features detect the increasing
humidity released during cooking. The oven
automatically adjusts the cooking time to
various types and amounts of food.
Do not use the Sensor Features twice in
succession on the same food portion-it
may result in severely overcooked or burnt
food. Be sure to let the oven cool down
for 5-10 minutes before starting the next
sensor cook.
If food is undercooked after the countdown,
use Cook Time for additional cooking time.
oThe proper containers and covers are
essential for best sensor cooking.
Always use microwave-safe containers
and cover them with lids or vented
plastic wrap. Never use tight-sealing
plastic covers-- they can prevent
steam from escaping and cause food to
overcook,
Be sure the outside of the cooking
container and the inside of the microwave
oven are dry before placing food in the
oven. Beadsof moisture turning into steam
can mislead the sensor.
Dry off dishes so they don't
mislead the sensor.
