oven could result in injury.
[] Donot boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressurewill build up
insideegg yolk and will cause it to burst, possiblyresulting in
injury.
[] Operating the microwave with no food insidefor more than a
minute or two may cause damage to the oven and could start
a fire. It increasesthe heat around the magnetron and can
shorten the life of the oven.
[] Foodswith unbroken outer "skin" such as potatoes, hot dogs,
sausages,tomatoes, apples, chicken liversand other giblets
and egg yolks should be pierced to allow steam to escape
during cooking.
[] Avoid heating baby food in glassjars, even
with the lid off. Make sureall infant food isthoroughly cooked.
Stirfood to distribute the heat evenly.Be careful to prevent
scalding when warming formula. Thecontainer may feel cooler
than the formula really is.Always test the formula before
feeding the baby.
[] Don'tdefrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked bottles
(especiallycarbonated beverages).Evenifthe container is
opened, pressurecan build up.This can cause the container to
burst, possiblyresulting in injury.
[] SUPERHEATEDWATER

IMPORTANT SAFETYINFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFOREUSING.
ADAPTER PLUGS
Usage situations where appliance's power cord will be disconnected infrequently.
Becauseof potential safety hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug. However, ifyou stillelect to
use an adapter, where localcodes permit, a TEMPORARYCONNECTIONmay be made to a
properly grounded wall receptacle bythe useof a ULlisted adapter which isavailable at most
local hardware stores.
Thelarger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall receptacle to
provide proper polarity inthe 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.
(Adapter plugs not
permitted in Canada)
Alignlarge r_,,,w_
prongs/slots _ _'_ j
_ _'_J_ Ensure proper
TEMPORARY ground and firm
connection before
METHOD use.
Youshould havethe circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make surethe receptacle is properly grounded.
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 these situations becausefrequent disconnection of the power cord places undue strain onthe adapter
and leadsto eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. Youshould have the 2-prong wall receptacle replacedwith a 3-prong
(grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before usingthe appliance.
PACEMAKERS
Host pacemakers are shielded from interference from electronic products, including microwaves. However, patients with
pacemakers may wish to consult their physicians if they have concerns.
WARNING!
EXTENSION CORDS
A short power supply cord isprovided to reducethe risksresulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Extensioncords may be used ifyou are careful in usingthem.
If an extensioncord isused-
1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least asgreat asthe electrical rating of the appliance;

Changing the Power Level
The power levelmay be entered or changed
immediately after entering the feature time for
Cook Time or ExpressCook. the power level
may also be changed during the cooking.
1. Press Cook Time and enter cooking time.
2. PressPower Level and selectpower level

3. Press Start/Pause.
Variable power levelsadd flexibility to microwave
cooking.The power levelson the microwave oven
can be compared to the surface units on a range.
Eachpower levelgivesyou microwave energy
a certain percent ofthe time. Power level 7is
microwave energy 70% of the time. Power level
3 isenergy30% of the time. Mostcooking will be
done on HI which givesyou 100% power.
Power Level10 will 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
stews and lesstender cuts of meat.
Power Level3: Defrosting;simmering; delicate
sauces.
Power Level1: Keepingfood warm; softening

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.)
1. Press Defrost twice.
2. Enter defrosting time.
3. 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
!/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
for a few minutes.

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.
