UTENSILS
This appliance must be grounded. In the 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 an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if |he
grounding instructions are not comptetely understood
or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded. 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.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the
risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
Longer cord sets or extension cords are available
and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a long cord or extension cord is used: 1) The
marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension
cord should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance. 2) The extension cord must
be a grounding-type 3- wire cord, and 3) The longer
cord should be arranged so that it will not drape
over the counter top or tabletop where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Touch POWER keypad before touching START.
• Touch keypad once: MORE cooking (longer cooking time: 5 - 20%)
• Touch keypad twice: LESS cooking (shorter cooking time: 5 - 20%)
• The oven automatically sets to medium doneness if no selection is made and/or
by touching keypad three times.
Note: Time depends on each food.

AUTOMATIC DEFROST BY WEIGHT
The best defrosting time and power levels are automatically determined depending on
the food weight you enter. The feature provides two options:
FINE DEFROST: Use for thorough defrosting of frozen foods, when it is important to
have the center section defrosted as well as the outside. Examples for recommended use
are: whole chicken, roasts and steak.
QUICK DEFROST: Use to assist separation of frozen pieces of chicken or fish that need
preparation prior to cooking. Also, this defrost option is excellent for thawing items such
asfrozen ground meat for use in spaghetti sauce or for taco meat.
Example: To thoroughly defrost 1.2 Ib of chicken pieces

Defrosting Techniques:
•Remove food from wrapper to prevent holding steam and juice and place in a
microwave-safe baking dish or aroasting rack to catch drippings.
• Cover thin parts with aluminum foil to prevent overdefrosting.
• Because some foods will still be icy in the center, it is necessary to have a standing
time after defrosting the food in the oven. Food should be taken out of the oven to
complete defrosting. A longer standing time might be required for denser foods such
as roasts.
Note: • Weight can be entered up to 5.9 Ibs. If weight is entered more than 5.9 Ibs and
press START, a beep sounds to alert you to enter correct weight.
• The oven selects lib if a weight is not entered.
•Beep tone sounds 5 seconds during the defrosting cycle to signal that
food should be rearranged to improve defrosting performance.Open the
door and rearrange the food. The oven continues the defrosting cycle to the
end if you do not open the door.
• Food can be defrosted in a styrofoam package.

COOKING TECHNIQUES
Advantages of microwave cooking are
speed and efficiency. For warming,
heating, and defrosting, nothing really
compares. There are a few tips that will
make microwaving easier and more
enjoyable.
Microwave Cooking Principles
Because microwave cooking requires
only one-quarter to one-third the time of
conventional cooking, the same cooking
principles become even more important.
Quantity
The more food being cooked, the longer
you will have to cook it. As a general
rule, when doubling a recipe, increase
the cooking time by about 50 percent.
When cutting a recipe in half, reduce the
time by about 40 percent.
Density
Dense foods, such as potatoes, roasts
and carrots, absorb microwave energy
tess quickly than porous foods such as
ground beef or mashed potatoes.
Therefore, denser foods take longer to
cook.
Shape and Size
Small pieces cook faster than large
ones. For even cooking, it is important to
have all the pieces the same size.
Evenly shaped pieces, round or
doughnut shaped, microwave best.
When cooking items of varying
thickness, arrange the thick portion near
the outer edge of the dish.
Moisture, Sugar and Fat
Food high in moisture, sugar or fat cook
faster than foods that are low in these
substances. Add a minimum of liquid to
moist foods. An excess amount of water
slows cooking.
Starting Temperature
Frozen or refrigerated foods take longer
to microwave than food at room
temperature.
Delicate Ingredients
Some foods require special attention
when cooked in the microwave oven.
Delicate foods such as eggs, cheese,
mayonnaise, etc. cook so quickly, they
should be watched carefully.
Microwave Cooking Techniques
Arranging: Arrange foods in a circular
pattern, when possible.
Piercing: Pierce the membrane of foods
such as eggs, oysters, snails, sausages,
livers, clams and whole vegetables, so
they do not burst.
Covering: Covering speeds heating
and prevents spattering.
Stirring:To help food cook more quickly
and evenly.
Turning Over: To help larger foods
such as roasts or whole chickens cook
more evenly.
Reheating: Place food that is denser/
larger/thicker to the outer edge and the
smalledthinner or more porous food to
the center.
Shielding:To prevent overcooking, thin
or bony areas can be protected with
small strips of aluminum foil.
Standing Time: Foods continue
cooking even after removal from the
oven. Standing time is necessary to
allow foods to complete cooking.
Converting Recipes
Microwave recipes will likely call for less
liquid and cooking time.
Safety Food Temperatures
For your safety, following temperature is
recommended to avoid potential food
poisoning problems.
160°F (71°C): Meat, Fish, Eggs
165°F (74°C): Reheating foods
170°F (77°C): Poultry (White Meat)
180°F (82°C): Poultry (Dark Meat)

SENSOR COOKING
General Sensor Cooking Tips:
• For Foods not listed in the Sensor
Reheating/Cooking Guide, use Time
cooking.
• After START is pressed, do not
open the door while the words
SENSOR COOKING scrolls
across the display. During this
time, the oven is measuring the
amount of steam generated from the
food during the heating process.
The oven then determines the
heating or cooking time for the food.
•Room temperature should be below
95 °F (35 °C).
• Keep the inside of oven, the
turntable and the outside of cooking
containers dry. Wipe off all
spillovers. Excessive humidity in the
oven may result in an incorrect
cooking time.
• Always cover food completely (but
not too tightly) with wax paper,
plastic wrap or casserole lids.
Loose-fitting covers may cause the
oven to miscalculate time. Never use
tightly sealed plastic containers
such as those with plastic snap
closing lids.
Sensor Reheating Tips:
FROZEN ENTREE
PLATE OF FOOD
•Auto Sensor Reheat is best used for
1- 2 servings.
•Very dense foods (e.g. frozen
lasagna) should be allowed to stand
covered after reheating.
The following foods are not
recommended: Boil-in-the-bag
entrees or vegetables, raw or
uncooked food, food that must be
reheated uncovered, foods needing
a dry look or crisp surface after
reheating, frozen cheesecake, dried
foods, bread or pastry, beverages.
Do not reheat in foil containers.
When reheating delicate sauces/
dips that contain sour cream, eggs
or cream cheese, use Time cooking
on power level P30.
SOUP
• When reheating canned soups,
remove from can. Add milk or water
as directed on can. Place in a
microwave-safe bowl or dish.
• Liquid must be room or refrigeration
temperature.
BEVERAGE
• Liquid must be room or refrigeration
temperature.
