(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door
operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important
not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.
(b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow
soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the
oven door close properly and that there is no damage to the :
1. Door (bent)
2. Hinges and latches (broken or loosened)
3. Door seals and sealing surfaces
(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly
qualified service personnel.
Addendum
• If the apparatus is not maintained in a good state of cleanliness, its surface
could be degraded and affect the lifespan of the apparatus, leading to a
dangerous situation.
Before you call for service
If the oven fails to operate:
a) Ensure that the oven is plugged in securely. If it is not, remove the plug from
the outlet, wait 10 seconds and plug it in again securely.
b) Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. If these seem
to be operating properly, test the outlet with another appliance.
c) Ensure that the control panel is programmed correctly and the timer is set.
d) Ensure that the door is securely closed, engaging the door safety lock system.
Otherwise, the microwave energy will not flow into the oven.

WARNING
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. The appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire
with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded.
WARNING! Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a
risk of electric shock.
Electrical Requirements:
• The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp. It is
recommended that a separate circuit serving only the oven be provided. The
oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a
wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded.
Power Supply Cord
1.
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2.
Extension cords are available and may be used
if care is exercised in their use.
a) If it is necessary to use an extension cord,
use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a
3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot
receptacle that will accept the plug on the
appliance. The marked rating of the
extension cord shall be equal to or greater
than the electrical rating of the appliance.
b)
The extension cord must be arranged so that
it will not drape over the
counter top or table top where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over uninten-
tionally.

UTENSILS
This section lists which utensils can be used in the microwave, which ones have
limited use for short periods, and which ones should not be used in the
microwave.
Recommended
• Microwave browning dish - Use to brown the exterior of small items such as
steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with your
browning dish.
• Microwaveable plastic wrap - Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for
some steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on the food.
• Paper towels and napkins - Use for short-term heating and covering; These
absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do not use recycled paper
towels, which may contain metal and could ignite.
• Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes - Use for heating or cooking.
• Paper plates and cups - Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do not
use recycled paper, which may contain metal and could ignite.
• Wax paper - Use as a cover to prevent spattering.
• Thermometers - Use only those labeled “Microwave Safe” and follow all
directions. Check the food in several places. Conventional thermometers may
be used on microwave food once the food has been removed from the oven.
Limited Use
• Aluminum foil – Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed
areas. Using too much foil can damage your oven, so be careful.
• Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware – Use these if they are labeled “Microwave
Safe”. If they are not labeled, test them to make sure they can be used safely.
• Plastic – Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe”. Other plastics can melt.
• Straw, wicker, and wood – Use only for short-term heating, such as warming
dinner rolls for a few seconds; baskets and bowls may be flammable.
Not Recommended
• Glass jars and bottles – Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave.
It can shatter and cause damage and injury.
• Paper bags – These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that are
designed for microwave use.
• Styrofoam plates and cups – These can melt and leave an unhealthy
residue on food.
• Plastic storage and food containers – Containers such as margarine tubs
can melt in the microwave.
• Metal utensils - These can damage your oven. Remove all metal
before cooking.
NOTE: Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the
empty dish in the oven and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds.
A dish which becomes very hot should not be used.

COOKING TECHNIQUES
Your microwave makes cooking easier than conventional cooking, provided you
keep these considerations in mind:
Stirring
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute heat
evenly. Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and heats more
quickly, so stir from the outside to the center. The oven will turn off when you
open the door to stir your food.
Arrangement
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with the
thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable where they receive more
microwave energy. To prevent overcooking, place delicate areas, such as
asparagus tips, toward the center of the turntable.
Shielding
Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Areas
that need shielding include poultry wing-tips, the ends of poultry legs, and
corners of square baking dishes. Use only small amounts of aluminum foil.
Larger amounts can damage your oven.
Turning
Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to microwave
energy. This is especially important with large foods such as roasts.
Standing
Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue to cook for a
few minutes after heating stops. Let foods stand to complete cooking, especially
foods such as cakes and whole vegetables. Roasts need this time to complete
cooking in the center without overcooking the outer areas. All liquids, such as
soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken or stirred when cooking is complete.
Let liquids stand a moment before serving. When heating baby food, stir well at
removal and test the temperature before serving.
Adding moisture
Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in
moisture content should be covered or allowed to stand so that the heat disperses
evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food to help it cook.
