IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

A. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
WARNING
Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric
shock. Consult a qualified electrician if the
grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded, and either:
1. 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, or
2. Do not use an extension cord. If the power
supply cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician or serviceman install an outlet near
the appliance.
NOTE:
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce
the risks resulting from becoming entangled in
or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are
available and may be used if care is exercised
in their use.
3. 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
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on
by children or tripped over accidentally.
B. CIRCUITS
For safety purposes this oven must be plugged
into a 15 or 20 Amp circuit. No other electrical
appliances or lighting circuits should be on this
line. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician.
C. VOLTAGE WARNING
The voltage used at the wall receptacle must be
the same as specified on the oven name plate
located on the back or on the side of the control
panel of the oven. Use of a higher voltage is
dangerous and may result in a fire or other type of
accident causing oven damage. Low voltage will
cause slow cooking. In case your microwave oven
does not perform normally in spite of proper
voltage, remove and reinsert the plug.
D. DO NOT BLOCK AIR VENTS
All air vents should be kept clear during cooking.
If air vents are covered during oven operation the
oven may overheat. In this case, a sensitive
thermal safety device automatically turns the oven
off. The oven will be inoperable until it has cooled
sufficiently.
E. RADIO INTERFERENCE
1. Microwave oven operation may interfere with
TV or radio reception.
2. When there is interference, it may be reduced
or eliminated by taking the following measures:
a. Clean the door and the sealing surfaces of
the oven.
b. Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or
television.
c. Relocate the microwave oven in relation to
the TV or radio.
d. Move the microwave oven away from the
receiver.
e. Plug the microwave oven into a different
outlet so that microwave oven and receiver
are on different branch circuits.

OTHER HELPFUL INFORMATION
GETTING THE BEST
RESULTS FROM YOUR
MICROWAVE OVEN
Keep an eye on things. The instructions in
this book have been formulated with great
care, but your success in preparing them
depends, of course, on how much attention you
pay to the food as it cooks. Always watch your
food while it cooks. Your microwave oven is
equipped with a light that turns on automatically
when the oven is in operation so that you can
see inside and check the progress of your recipe.
Directions given in recipes to elevate, stir, and
the like should be thought of as the minimum
steps recommended. If the food seems to be
cooking unevenly, simply make the necessary
adjustments you think appropriate to correct the
problem.
Factors affecting cooking times. Many factors
affect cooking times. The temperature of
ingredients used in a recipe makes a big
difference in cooking times. For example, a cake
made with ice-cold butter, milk, and eggs will
take considerably longer to bake than one made
with ingredients that are at room temperature.
All of the recipes in this book give a range of
cooking times. In general, you will find that the
food remains under-cooked at the lower end of
the time range, and you may sometimes want to
cook your food beyond the maximum time given,
according to personal preference. The governing
philosophy of this book is that it is best for a
recipe to be conservative in giving cooking times.
While undercooked food may always be cooked
a bit more, overcooked food is ruined for good.
Some of the recipes, particularly those for bread,
cakes, and custard, recommend that food be
removed from the oven when they are slightly
undercooked. This is not a mistake. When
allowed to stand, usually covered, these foods
will continue to cook outside of the oven as the
heat trapped within the outer portions of the
foods gradually travels inward. If the foods are
left in the oven until they are cooked all the way
through, the outer portions will become
overcooked or even burnt.
As you gain experience in using your microwave
oven, you will become increasingly skillful in
estimating both cooking and standing times for
various foods.
PRECAUTIONS
*Be certain to place the front surface of the door
three inches away or more from the countertop
edge to avoid accidental tipping of the appliance
in normal usage.
*For the most accurate programming of the
electronic units, touch the center of each pad
securely. Do not touch several pads at one time
or touch between pads. A beep sound should be
heard with each touch when a pad is touched
correctly.
*Do not hit or strike the control with objects such
as silverware, utensils, etc. Breakage may occur.
*Be careful when taking the cooking utensils out
of the oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the
cooked food and may be hot.
*Do not rinse cooking utensils by immediately
placing them into water just after cooking. This
may cause breakage. Allow the turntable to cool.
*Use only specific glass utensils. See cooking
utensils section in this manual.
*Do not operate the oven empty. Either food or
water should always be in the oven during
operation to absorb microwave energy.
*Do not use your microwave oven to dry
newspapers or clothes. They can catch fire.
*Use only thermometers approved for microwave
oven cooking.
*Be certain the turntable is in place when you
operate the oven.
*Pierce the skin of potatoes, whole squash,
apples, or any fruit or vegetable which has a skin
covering before cooking.
*Never use your microwave oven to cook eggs in
the shell. Pressure can build up inside the shell,
causing it to burst.
*Do not pop popcorn, except in a microwave-safe
container or commercial package designed
especially for microwave ovens.
Never try to pop popcorn in a paper bag not
designed for microwave oven use. Overcooking
may result in smoke and fire. Do not repop
unpopped kernels. Do not reuse popcorn bags.

OTHER HELPFUL INFORMATION
SPECIAL TECHNIQUES IN
MICROWAVE COOKING
Browning: Meats and poultry that are cooked
fifteen minutes or longer will brown lightly in their
own fat. Foods that are cooked for a shorter period
of time may be brushed with a browning sauce to
achieve an appetizing color. The most commonly
used browning sauces are Worcestershire sauce,
soy sauce, and barbecue sauce. Since relatively
small amounts of browning sauces are added to
foods, the original flavor of recipes is not altered.
Covering: A cover traps heat and steam and
causes food to cook more quickly. You may either
use a lid or microwave cling-film with a corner
folded back to prevent splitting.
Covering with waxed paper: Waxed paper
effectively prevents spattering and helps food
retain some heat. Since it makes a looser cover
than a lid or cling-film, it allows the food to dry out
slightly.
Wrapping in waxed paper or paper towel:
Sandwiches and many other foods containing
prebaked bread should be wrapped prior to
microwaving to prevent drying out.
Arranging and spacing: Individual foods such as
baked potatoes, small cakes, and hors d’oeuvres
will heat more evenly if placed in the oven and
equal distance apart, preferably in a circular
pattern. Never stack foods on top of one another.
Stirring: Stirring is one of the most important of all
microwaving techniques. In conventional cooking,
foods are stirred for the purpose of blending.
Microwaved foods, however, are stirred in order to
spread and redistribute heat. Always stir from the
outside towards the center as the outside food
heats first.
Turning over: Large, tall foods such as roasts and
whole chickens should be turned so that the top
and bottom will cook evenly. It is also a good idea
to turn cut-up chicken and chops.
Placing thicker portions near the edge: Since
microwaves are attracted to the outside portion of
foods, it makes sense to place thicker portions of
meat, poultry and fish to the outer edge of the
baking dish. This way, thicker portions will receive
the most microwave energy and the foods will cook
evenly.
Elevating: Thick or dense foods are often elevated
so that microwaves can be absorbed by the
underside and center of the foods.
Piercing: Foods enclosed in a shell, skin, or
membrane are likely to burst in the oven unless
they are pierced prior to cooking. Such foods
include both yolks and whites of eggs, clams and
oysters, and many whole vegetables and fruits.
Testing if cooked: Because foods cook so quickly
in a microwave oven, it is necessary to test food
frequently. Some foods are left in the microwave
until completely cooked, but most foods, including
meats and poultry, are removed from the oven
while still slightly undercooked and allowed to
finish cooking during standing time. The internal
temperature of foods will rise between 5°F (3°C)
and 15°F (8°C) during standing time.
Standing time: Foods are often allowed to stand
for 3 to 10 minutes after being removed from the
microwave oven. Usually the foods are covered
during standing time to retain heat unless they are
supposed to be dry in texture (some cakes and
biscuits, for example). Standing allows foods to
finish cooking and also helps flavors to blend and
develop.
HOW FOOD CHARACTERISTICS
AFFECT MICROWAVE COOKING
Density of foods: Light, porous food like cakes
and breads cook more quickly than heavy, dense
foods such as roasts and casseroles. You must
take care when microwaving porous foods that the
outer edges do not become dry and brittle.
Height of foods: The upper portion of tall foods,
particularly roasts, will cook more quickly than the
lower portion. Therefore, it is wise to turn tall foods
during cooking, sometimes several times.
Moisture content of foods: Since the heat
generated from microwaves tends to evaporate
moisture, relatively dry foods such as roasts and
some vegetables should either be sprinkled with
water prior to cooking or covered to retain moisture.
Bone and fat content of foods: Bones conduct
heat and fat cooks more quickly than meat.
Therefore, care must be taken when cooking bony
or fatty cuts of meat that the meats do not cook
unevenly and do not become overcooked.

OTHER HELPFUL INFORMATION
COOKING UTENSILS
Shape of foods: Microwaves penetrate only about
1 inch (2.5cm) into foods; the interior portion of
thick foods is cooked as the heat generated on the
outside travels inward. In other words, only the
outer edge of any food is actually cooked by
microwave energy; the rest is cooked by
convection. It follows then that the worst possible
shape for a food that is to be microwaved is a thick
cube. The corners will burn long before the center
is even warm. Round, thin, and ring shaped foods
cook most successfully in the microwave.
Quantity of foods: The number of microwaves in
your oven remains constant regardless of how
much food is being cooked. Therefore, the more
food you place in the oven, the longer the cooking
time. Remember to decrease cooking times by at
least one-third when halving a recipe.
MICROWAVE-SAFE UTENSILS
Never use metal or metal-trimmed utensils in
your microwave oven: Microwaves cannot
penetrate metal. They will bounce off any metal
object in the oven and cause arcing, an alarming
phenomenon that resembles lightning.
Most heat-resistant non-metallic cooking utensils
are safe for use in your microwave oven. However,
some may contain materials that render them
unsuitable as microwave cookware. If you have
any doubts about a particular utensil, there is a
simple way to find out if it can be used in your
microwave oven.
Testing utensils for microwave use: Place the
utensil in question next to a glass bowl filled with
water in the microwave oven. Microwave at power
HIGH for 1 minute. If the water heats up but the
utensil remains cool to the touch, the utensil is
microwave-safe. However, if the water does not
change temperature but the utensil becomes
warm, microwaves are being absorbed by the
utensil and it is not safe for use in the microwave
oven. You probably have many items on hand in
your kitchen that can be used as cooking
equipment in your microwave oven. Just read
through the following checklist.
1. Dinner plates: Many kinds of dinner-ware are
microwave-safe. If in doubt consult the
manufacturer's literature or perform the microwave
test, above.
2. Glassware: Glassware that is heat-resistant is
microwave-safe. This includes all brands of oven-
tempered glass cookware. However, do not use
delicate glassware, such as tumbler or wine
glasses, as these might shatter as the food warms.
3. Paper: Paper plates and containers are
convenient and safe to use in your microwave
oven, provided the cooking time is short and
foods to be cooked are low in fat and moisture.
Paper towels are also very useful for wrapping
foods and for lining baking trays in which greasy
foods, such as bacon, are cooked. In general,
avoid colored paper products as the color may run.
4. Plastic storage containers: These can be used
to hold foods that are to be quickly reheated.
However, they should not be used to hold foods
that will need considerable time in the oven as hot
foods will eventually warp or melt plastic
containers.
5. Plastic cooking bags: These are microwave-
safe provided they are specially made for cooking.
However, be sure to make a slit in the bag so
that steam can escape. Never use ordinary plastic
bags for cooking in your microwave oven, as they
will melt and rupture.
6. Plastic microwave cookware: A variety of
shapes and sizes of microwave cookware is
available. For the most part, you can probably cook
with items you already have on hand rather than
investing in new kitchen equipment.
7. Pottery, stoneware, and ceramic:
Containers made of these materials are usually
fine for use in your microwave oven, but they
should be tested to be sure.
CAUTION: SOME ITEMS ARE NOT
INTENDED FOR COOKING, INCLUDING
SOME STONEWARE AND ITEMS WITH
HIGH IRON OR LEAD CONTENTS.

AUTO DEFROST
Three defrost sequences are preset in the oven.
The defrost feature provides you with the best
defrosting method for frozen foods. The cooking
guide will show you which defrost sequence is
recommended for the food you are defrosting.
With the Auto Defrost feature, the oven
automatically sets the defrosting time and power
levels for you.
The oven automatically determines required
defrosting times for each food item according to
the weight you enter.
For added convenience, the Auto Defrost
includes a built-in beep mechanism that reminds
you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange as
recommended in the Auto Defrosting AUTO
WEIGHT DEFROST GUIDE.
Three different defrosting levels are provided.

(FISH).
*Available weight is 0.1~6.0 lbs(0.1~4.0 kgs).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (CONT’D)
WARNING : Do not use aluminum foil during cooking cycle.
MEAT
1. No special techniques are required. The roast
should be prepared and seasoned (if desired)
as for any other conventional method. Meat
should be thoroughly defrosted before
cooking.
2. Place the meat on a microwave roasting rack
or ovenproof plate and place on the turntable.
3. Cook according to the cooking chart (below),
using the longer time for large meats and the
shorter time for smaller meats. For thicker
chops, use the longer time.
4. Turn the meat once halfway through the
cooking time.
5. STAND for 5-10 minutes wrapped in foil after
cooking. The standing time is very important
as it completes the cooking process.
6. Ensure meat, especially pork, is thoroughly
cooked before eating.

POULTRY
1. No special techniques are required. The
poultry should be prepared as for any other
conventional method. Season if desired.
2. Poultry should be thoroughly defrosted,
ensuring giblets and any metal clamps are
removed.
3. Prick the skin and brush lightly with vegetable
oil unless self-basting.
4. All poultry should be placed on a microwave
roasting rack or a microwave-proof plate and
placed on the turntable.
5. Cook according to the instructions in the
cooking chart (below), turning the bird over
halfway through the cooking time. Poultry,
because of its shape, has a tendency to cook
unevenly, especially in very bony parts.
Turning the bird during roasting helps to cook
these areas evenly.
6. STAND for 5-10 minutes wrapped in foil after
cooking before carving. The standing time is
very important, as it completes the cooking
process.
7. Ensure poultry is thoroughly cooked before
eating. Whole poultry is completely cooked
when the juices run clear from the inside thigh
when it is pierced with a sharp knife. Poultry
portions should be pierced with a sharp knife
through the thickest part to ensure that the
juices are clear and the flesh is firm.
NOTE:
The above times should be regarded only as a
guide. Allow for difference in individual tastes
and preferences. The times may vary due to the
shape, cut, and composition of the meat.

To heat or reheat successfully in the microwave, it is important to follow several guidelines. Measure the
amount of food in order to determine the time needed to reheat. Arrange the food in a circular pattern for
best results. Room temperature food will heat faster than refrigerated food. Canned foods should be taken
out of the can and placed in a microwavable container. The food will be heated more evenly if covered
with a microwavable lid or plastic wrap, vented. Remove cover carefully to prevent steam burns. Use the
following chart as a guide for reheating cooked food.
