All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety
messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.”
These words mean:
follow instructions.

WARNING
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock,
fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave
energy:
■ Read all instructions before using the microwave oven.
■ Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY” found in this section.
■ The microwave oven must be grounded. Connect only to
properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS” found in this section.
■ Install or locate the microwave oven only in accordance
with the provided Installation Instructions.
■ Some products such as whole eggs in the shell and sealed
containers – for example, closed glass jars – may explode
and should not be heated in the microwave oven.
■ Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as
described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals
or vapors in the microwave oven. This type of oven is
specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not
designed for industrial or laboratory use.
■ Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not be
inserted in the microwave oven as they may create a fire or
risk of electric shock.
■ Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn off
the pad and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric
shock.
■ Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer's
recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.
■ Do not operate the microwave oven if it has a damaged
cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been
damaged or dropped.
■ Do not deep fry in oven. Microwavable utensils are not
suitable and it is difficult to maintain appropriate deep frying
temperatures.
■ Do not use paper products when appliance is operated in
the “PAN BROWN” mode.
■ Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with metal
foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.
■ As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary
when used by children.
■ The microwave oven should be serviced only by qualified
service personnel. Contact nearest authorized service
company for examination, repair, or adjustment.
■ Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave
oven.

4
Electrical Requirements
Observe all governing codes and ordinances. The microwave
oven is connected to both 120 V sides of the 208/240 V circuit
required for electrical connections. If the incoming voltage to the
microwave oven is less than 120 V, cooking times may be longer.
Have a qualied electrician check your electrical system.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■ 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.
■ Do not store the microwave oven outdoors. Do not use this
product near water - for example, near a kitchen sink, in a
wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.
■ See door surface cleaning instructions in the “Oven Care”
section.
■ To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
– Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the microwave
oven if paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are
placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
– Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before
placing bags in oven.
– If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door
closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or
shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
– Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave
paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity
when not in use.
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
(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 qualied service personnel.
This device complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules.
This device complies with Industry Canada ICES-001.
For a permanently connected microwave oven:
The microwave oven must be connected to a grounded,
metallic, permanent wiring system, or an equipment
grounding conductor should be run with the circuit
conductors and connected to the equipment grounding
terminal or lead on the microwave oven.

Turntable
The turntable rotates in both directions to help cook food more
evenly. Do not operate the microwave oven without having the
turntable in place. See “Assistance or Service” to reorder any of
the parts.
The raised, curved lines in the center of the turntable bottom t
between the 3 spokes of the hub. The hub turns the turntable
during microwave oven use. The rollers on the support should t
inside the turntable bottom ridge.
NOTE: The microwave-cooling fan may continue to run for
several minutes after the cooking cycle has been completed. The
microwave cooking does not continue beyond the end of cooking
cycle.
To Turn On/Off:

menu once the shapes are touched in the needed sequence.
NOTE: The Button Lock tool must set every time you wish to
use this feature.
Wi-Fi Connectivity (on some models)
Your oven may have built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, but for it to work,
you will have to connect it to your home wireless network. For
information about setting up the connectivity, turning it on and
off, receiving important notications and taking advantage of
available features, refer to the Oven Wi-Fi Connected Quick Start
Guide that came with your oven.
Once the setup process has been completed for the Wi-Fi, you
will have access to features that will give you new freedom in
cooking. Your available features may vary depending on rmware
updates.
NOTE: Wi-Fi connectivity may be interrupted or lost during
amicrowave cooking function. The Wi-Fi will reconnect once the
microwave cooking function has ended.

BUILT-IN MICROWAVE OVEN USE
A magnetron in the oven produces microwaves that reect off
the metal oor, walls, and ceiling and pass through the turntable
and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are attracted
to and absorbed by fat, sugar, and water molecules in the food,
causing them to move, producing friction and heat which cooks
the food.
■To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not lean on
or allow children to swing on the microwave oven door.
■To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not operate
microwave oven when it is empty.
■The turntable must be in place and correct side up when
microwave oven is in use. Do not use if turntable is chipped or
broken. See “Assistance or Service” section to reorder.
■Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in
microwave oven.
■Clothes, owers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including
brown paper bags and newspaper, should not be dried in
microwave oven.
■Parafn wax will not melt in the microwave oven because it
does not absorb microwaves.
■Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from
microwave oven.
■Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended
cook time, potatoes should be slightly rm. Let potatoes
stand for 5 minutes. They will nish cooking while standing.
■Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell.
Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst. Cover
poached eggs and allow a standing time.
Food Characteristics
When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting
temperature, composition, and density of the food affect cooking
results.
Amount of Food
The more food heated at once, the longer the cook time needed.
Check for doneness and add small increments of time if
necessary.
Size and Shape
Smaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger pieces,
and uniformly shaped foods cook more evenly than irregularly
shaped food.
Starting Temperature
Room temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated foods,
and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods.
Composition and Density
Foods high in fat and sugar will reach a higher temperature, and
will heat faster than other foods. Heavy, dense foods, such as
meat and potatoes, require a longer cook time than the same size
of a light, porous food, such as cake.
Cooking Guidelines
Covering
Covering food helps retain moisture, shorten cook time, and
reduce spattering. Use the lid supplied with cookware. If a lid is
not available, wax paper, paper towels or plastic wrap approved
for microwave ovens may be used. Plastic wrap should be
turned back at one corner to provide an opening to vent steam.
Condensation on the door and cavity surfaces is normal during
heavy cooking.
Stirring and Turning
Stirring and turning redistribute heat evenly to avoid overcooking
the outer edges of food. Stir from outside to center. If possible,
turn food over from bottom to top.
Arranging
If heating irregularly shaped or different sized foods, arrange the
thinner parts and smaller sized items toward the center. If cooking
several items of the same size and shape, place them in a ring
pattern, leaving the center of the ring empty.
Piercing
Before heating, use a fork or small knife to pierce or prick foods
that have a skin or membrane, such as potatoes, egg yolks,
chicken livers, hot dogs, and sausage. Prick in several places to
allow steam to vent.
Shielding
Use small, at pieces of aluminum foil to cover the thin pieces
of irregularly shaped foods, bones, and foods such as chicken
wings, leg tips, and sh tail. See “Aluminum Foil and Metal” rst.
Standing Time
Food will continue to cook by the natural conduction of heat even
after the microwave cooking cycle ends. The length of standing
time depends on the volume and density of the food.
Turntable On/Off
For best performance, the turntable should be on during
microwave cooking.
If using oversized cookware that does not turn freely on the
turntable, turn the turntable off. See the “Turntable” section for
additional information.
When microwave cooking with the turntable off, food should be
turned halfway through the cooking process.
