IMPORTANT SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFOREUSING.
AWARNING!
ARCING
Ifyou see arcing, press the Cancd/Off pad and correct the problem.
Arcing isthe microwave term for sparks inthe oven.
Arcing iscaused by:
[] Metal or foil touching the sideof the oven.
[] Foilnot molded to food (upturned edgesact
likeantennas).
[] Metal,such astwist-ties, poultry pinsor gold-rimmed
dishes,in the microwave.
[] Recycledpaper towels containing small metal pieces
being usedin the microwave.
FOODS
[]
[]
[]
[]
[]
[]
[]
Donot pop popcorn in your microwave oven unless
in a special microwave popcorn accessory or unless
you use popcorn labeledfor use in microwave ovens.
Someproducts such as whole eggs and sealed
containers-for example, closedjars-are able to
explode and should not be heated in this microwave
oven. Suchuseof the microwave oven could result in
injury.
Donot boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressurewill
build up insideegg yolk and will cause itto burst,
possibly resulting 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 livers
and other giblets and egg yolksshould be piercedto
allow steam to escape during cooking.
Avoid heating baby food in glassjars, evenwith the
lid off. Make sure all infant food isthoroughly cooked.
Stirfood to distribute the heat evenly.Becareful
to prevent scalding when warming formula. The
container may feel cooler than the formula really is.
Alwaystest the formula before feeding the baby.
Don'tdefrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked
bottles (especiallycarbonated beverages).Evenifthe
container isopened,pressure can build up.Thiscan
cause the container to burst, possiblyresulting in
injury.
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 RESULTIN
VERYHOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVERWHEN
THE CONTAINER ISDISTURBED ORA SPOON OR
OTHER UTENSILISINSERTEDINTO THE LIQUID.
Toreduce the riskof injury to persons:
- Do not overheat the liquid.
- Stirthe liquid both before and halfway through
heating it.
- Do not use straight-sided container with narrow
necks.
After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave ovenfor a short time before removing
the container.
Useextreme care when inserting a spoon or other
utensil into the container.
Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Becareful
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 INTERNALtemperature of 160°Fand poultry to
at least an INTERNALtemperature of 180°F.Cooking
to these temperatures usually protects against
foodborne illness.

heats,then the dish ismicrowave-safe.
Ifyou usea meat thermometer while cooking, make
sureit issafe for use in microwave ovens.
[]
[]
[]
[]
[]
Donot userecycled paper products. Recycledpaper
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, asthey may also ignite.
Somefoam trays (likethose 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 plasticwrap issuitable for usein microwave
ovens.Checkthe package for proper use.
Papertowels, waxed paper and plastic wrap can be
usedto cover dishes in order to retain moisture and
prevent spattering. Besureto vent plasticwrap 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.
"Bailable"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,possiblyresulting in injury.
Also,plasticstorage 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.
Usefoil only as directed in this guide.-rv dinners may
be microwaved in foil trays lessthan 3/z¢'high; remove
the top foil cover and return the tray to the box.When
usingfoil in the microwave oven, keepthe foil at least
1" away from the sides ofthe oven.
Plasticcookware-Plastic cookware designed for
microwave cooking isvery useful,but should be used
carefully. Evenmicrowave-safe plasticmay not be
astolerant of overcooking conditions asare glass or
ceramic materials and may soften or char if subjected
to short periods of overcooking. Inlonger exposuresto
overcooking, the food and cookware could ignite.
Follow theseguidelines:
1. Usemicrowave-safe plastics only and use
them in strict compliance with the cookware
manufacturer's recommendations.
2. Do not microwave empty containers.
3. Do not permit children to useplastic cookware
without complete supervision.

be plugged into an outlet that isproperly installed and
grounded.
Consulta qualified electrician or servicetechnician if
the GROUNDINGINSTRUCTIONSare not completely
understood, or if doubt exists asto whether the appliance
isproperly grounded.
If the outlet isa standard 2-prong wall outlet, it isyour
personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced
with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
Do not under any circumstances cut or removethe third
(ground)prong from the power cord.
Wedo not recommend using an extensioncord with this
appliance. Ifthe power cord istoo short, have a qualified
electrician or servicetechnician install an outlet near the
appliance. (SeeEXTENSIONCORDSsection.)
Forbest operation, plug this appliance into its own
electrical outlet to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of
fuse or tripping of circuit breaker.
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,if
you stillelect to use an adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY
CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded wall receptacle by the
use of a ULlisted adapter which is available at most local hardware stores.

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 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 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

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.
.The proper containers and covers are
essential for best sensor cooking.
oAlways 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.
