Grounding Instructions
This appliancemust begrounded, in theevent ofan electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces therisk ofelectric shock by providing an escapewirefor the
electric current.This 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.
WAR N IN G-Improper use of the grounding plug can resultin a risk
of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
Use of an extension cord is not recommended, but if itisabsolutely necessary
touse an extension cord, useonly a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptaclethat will accept the plug on the
appliance. Themarked rating of the extension cord shall be equal toor greater
than the electrical rating of the appliance.
Where an electrical wall receptacle is encountered which will accept only a
two-prong plug, it isthe personalresponsibility and obligation of the owner to
contact a qualified electrician and have the outlet replaced with a properly
grounded and polarized receptaclefor a three-prong, grounding plug. Such
receptaclemust also meetlocalelectricalcodes, if applicable, and/or the
National Electrical Code.
If local codes permit, a temporary connection may be made to a properly
grounded and polarized,two-hole outlet using an adapter.Note, however, that
attaching the adapter grounding terminal to the outlet cover screw will not
ground the oven unless the outlet itself is grounded through the house wiring.
Proper grounding and polarization for the use of a temporary adapter are the
personal responsibility and obligation of the owner.
IMPORTANT
The above grounding instructions must be followed not only for your
personal protection against shock and fire hazards, but also to insure
satisfactory operation of the electronic controls.In addition to proper
grounding, a polarity check of outlet should be made to insure that
polarity is not reversed.Improper grounding or reversed polarity can
damage the electronic control or cause it to operate erratically.

Temperature Probe
The special Temperature Probe takes the guesswork out of microwave cooking
by allowing you to test doneness by the internal temperature of the food being
prepared.This is particularly helpful when preparing meats, beverages, soups
and sauces. ---.
BASIC INSTRUCTIONS
1.Insert probe.
2.Push the Time/Temp 1Pad.
3.Enter temperature. _
4. Push the Power LevelPad. _::'
5.Enter power level.
6. Push Start/StopPad.
NOTE_: Temperatures can be set from 100 °F. to 199° F. When the Timefremp 1Pad is
pushed, the first digit is displayed. Therefore, just enter the last two digits.
NOTE"": If you wish to cook on HI,omit steps 4 and 5 and push Start/Stop Pad.
Automallc ilohl
If the casserole or roast gets done before the rest of your meal is ready, the oven is
equipped with an automatic hold. When the oven is programmed for atemperature of
140°F. or above, it will automatically hold that temperature until the Start/Stop Pad is
pushed or the door is opened.
The oven will be off but the fan and light will stay on.The probe is continuing to monitor
the internal temperature of the food. Should the temperature fall 2degrees, the oven will
turn itself on long enough to bring the food up to the programmed temperature.
NOTE: The oven will beep 4 times and automatically shut off when foods programmed ,,_
to a temperature below 140°F.reach the programmed temperature.
Example: To cook a beef roast to 120° F.on "60" power and then to 150 °F. on "30" power,

Probe Placement
•The first 1/2 inch of the sharp tip of the probe contains the temperature sensor.
The probe should always be inserted into solid foods with this tip located as close
to the center of the food aspossible. For roasts or whole pou Itry, the probe's sharp
tip should be placed into the thickest part of meat away from fatty portions and not
..... touching any bone.
• It is usually better to place the sensor tip of the probe in food before inserting its
plug end into the receptacle.
• The handle of the probe should face the glass door.
Plug Receptacle
Probe Handle
Probe
Probe ilandling, Precautions and Suggestions
• To prevent harmto the oven, do not leave the temperature probe in a dry utensil or
operatetheoven when probeis inadry utensil.
• After cooking is completed remove the probe from its receptacle.Then use a
potholderto remove theprobe from the food sincethe probe itself may behot.
•Clean the probe in warm soapy water.Do not clean it in dishwasher.
• Do not store the probe in the oven when it is not in use.
• Do not defrost with the probe.It should be used only for cooking.
•Do not use the probe for conventional cooking with any other appliance. It was
designed for use in this microwave oven only.
Cooking Tips
• Many of the same foods vary in shape, form and density, so the same results
cannot be expected each time you microwave. For this reason, we do not recom-
mend using the Temperature Probe with thin food items and foods that require
tenderizing by simmering.
•In some cases, your microwave oven may turn off prematurely.When this
happens, it indicates either that the Temperature Probe is not inserted properly or
that it should not be used with the food you are preparing.

Memories (Model M166 only)
The two Memories of this microwave oven let you program two sequential
operations such as defrosting and cooking; cooking and standing; and cooking
using two different power levels. Any combination of time, temperature, or
...... variable power can be preprogrammed. The Memory feature automatically
changes power settings, cooking time or temperature. Since a short audible
tone will sound between Memories, it is also possible to divide cooking times.
Then, the signal would serve asa reminder to add foods (separate dishes or add
ingredients) and to obtain precisely the end results desired.

Window.
Tips On Using/he Probe Code
• Place tender roast on a trivet in a microwave safe dish. Insert probe
horizontally into center of the meat. Be careful not to touch bone or fat.
• Most roasts do best if covered with plastic wrap or wax paper.
• For ajuicy roast add 1/2cup of liquid to the bottom of the microwave dish.For
a browner roast, sprinkle the top with a browning agent such as dry onion
soup gravy mix, beef bouillon, etc.
• Allow 5-10 minutes rest time after food has completed cooking. Meats are
easier to slice when cool.

Defrosting
When defrosting frozen foods,a high Variable Power setting can be used
initially to break down the ice crystals. But as they begin to melt, it is necessary
to reduce the microwave power to keep the food from starting to cook before
defrosting is complete. This process is done automatically when using separate
Defrost Pad.It begins defrosting at 80% power,then gradually reduces power
to 60%, 40% and 20%.

content and water content will affect defrosting time. Therefore, periodi-
cally check meat and fish during defrosting.Toprevent cooking, shield
warm areas with foil and turn the meat over.
