This appliance must be grounded. Inthe event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into a 120v, 15 amp. outlet that is properly installed and
grounded.
WARNING- Improper use of the grounding plug can result in 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 theappliance is properly
grounded and either:
1) If it isabsolutely necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension
cordthat has a 3-blade grounding plug,and a 3 slot receptaclethat 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. Or,
2) Donot useanextension cord. Ifthe powersupply cordistoo short, havea qualified
electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance
Microwaveovens generate radio frequency energyduring operation, and if notinstalled
properly may cause interferenceto radio and television reception. You can determine
if this unit is causing interference by turning it on and off while the interference is
occurring. If interference occurs it may be corrected by one or moreof the following
measures:
• clean door and sealing surfaces of the oven;
• reorient thereceiving antenna;
• relocate the oven with respect to thereceiver; and/or
• plug theoven into a different outlet so that it and the receiver are on different
circuits.
If the interference persists,you may want to consult an experienced radio/television
technician for additional suggestions.

The two Memories of this microwave oven let you program two sequentialoperations
such as defrostingand cooking; cooking and standing; and cooking using two different
powerlevels. The Memoryfeature automatically changes power settings and cooking
time. Since two shortaudible beeps will sound between Memories, it is also possible
to dividecooking times. Then, the signal would serveas a reminder to add foods
(separate dishes or add ingredients) andto obtain precisely theend results desired.

PopcornTips
•The Popcornsetting can be changedto a different time. The initial setting was for
2 min.15 sec. for a 3-3 1/2oz. bag. To change the time,touch the Popcorn Pad
twice,enter new time, and then touch the Start/Stop Pad. Note: This new cook
time will appear in the Displaywhenever you usethe PopcornPad until you reset
it or there is a power failure.
• Place popcornon a microwaveable small plate to avoiddiscoloration on youroven
turntable. The"thissidedown"side ofthe microwavepopcornbagscontain a heat-
absorbing lining which gets very hot.Placing a saucer between the bag and the
turntable prevents the bag's dyes from staining the turntable when hot.
• Checkthepopcornasitpops andstopwhenthepopsslow downto3 secondsapart.
• Do not try to repop unpopped kernels.
The Dinner Plate Pad lets you reheat a dinner plate full of chilled leftovers.
The Display will show the word "Code" and "3:15" for 3 minutes and 15 seconds. The
code setting includes three automatic cooking levels which allow for even cooking of
many combinationsoffoods. Whencook time hasended,"End"appears in the Display.
DinnerPlate Tips
•Place meat and bulky vegetables to the outside of the plate.
• Placedelicate foods in the center ofthe plate. Add delicate dinner rolls during the
last few seconds.
• Cover the platewith wax paper to hold steamaround mostfoods. However, do not
cover rare meat or vegetables with crisp exteriors.

IQuick Defrost l
When defrostingfrozen foods, a high Power Levelsetting canbe used initiallyto break
downthe icecrystals. Butasthey begin to melt,it isnecessary toreduce themicrowave
powerto keepthefood from startingto cook beforedefrosting iscomplete.This process
isdoneautomaticallywhen using theseparateQuick Defrost Pad. Itbegins defrosting
at 80% power, than gradually reduces power to 60%, 40% and 20%.
BASICINSTRUCTIONS
1.Touch Quick Defrost Pad.
2. Enter defrostingtime.
3.Touch Start/Stop Pad.
Note: To defrostmeat, poultry,or seafood,referto theDefrost By Weight Pad on
pp.18-19.
Important Defrosting Tips
• Starting temperature, shape of the food,fatcontent and watercontentwillaffect
defrosting time.Therefore,periodically checkfood during defrosting. Toprevent
cooking, shield warm areas with foil.
• Removefrozen foods from package and placein a microwave safedish to defrost.
•Food should still be somewhat icy in the center when removed from the oven
becausetheedges of thefood will begin cooking if microwaves thaw it completely.
• Defrost meats in roasting dish.
• Standingtime after defrosting helpsto equalize heat. Let large meats stand 10-15
minutes and smallfoods 25 minutes.

IDefrost By Weight I
Use the Defrost By Weight setting to defrost meats, poultry and seafood weighing up
to 6 Ibs. This setting is a more gentle defrost setting than the"Quick Defrost" setting.
Thus,it is especiallygood for meats which aredense in the center or for small amounts
of delicate items.
