8PRODUCT OVERVIEW
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Location of Model Number
To request service information or replacement parts,
the service center requires the complete model
number of your microwave oven. The model number
is on the oven front as shown in the illustration below.
Model number label
Electrical Requirements
The oven is designed to operate on a Standard 120
V/60 Hz household outlet. Be sure the circuit is at
least 15 A or 20 A and the microwave oven is the only
appliance on the circuit. It is not designed for 50 Hz
or any circuit other than a 120 V/60 Hz circuit.
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.
Placement of the Oven
Your microwave oven can be placed easily in your
kitchen, family room, or anywhere else in your home.
Place the oven on a flat surface such as a kitchen
countertop or a specially designed microwave oven
cart. Do not place oven above a gas or electric range.
Free air flow around the oven is important. Allow at
least 4 inches of space at the top, sides, and back of
the oven for proper ventilation.
Do not block the 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.
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 use of the grounding can result in
a risk of electric shock.

grounding instructions are not completely 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, or. . . .
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord
is too short, have a qualified electrician or service person
install an outlet near 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 accidentally.
See the separate Installation Instructions for directions on
placing the cord properly.

12 MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS
MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS
Amount of Food
•If you increase or decrease the amount of food
you prepare, the time it takes to cook that food will
also change. For example, if you double a recipe,
add a little more than half the original cooking time.
Check for doneness and, if necessary, add more
time in small increments.
Starting Temperature of Food
•The lower the temperature of the food being
put into the microwave oven, the longer it takes
to cook. Food at room temperature reheats more
quickly than food at refrigerator temperature.
Composition of Food
•Food with a lot of fat and sugar heats faster than
food containing a lot of water. Fat and sugar also
reach a higher temperature than water during the
cooking process.
•The more dense the food, the longer it takes to
heat. Very dense food like meat takes longer to
heat than lighter, more porous food like sponge
cakes.
Size and Shape
•Smaller pieces of food cook faster than larger
pieces. Also, same-shaped pieces cook more
evenly than different-shaped pieces.
•With foods that have different thicknesses,
the thinner parts cook faster than the thicker parts
Place the thinner parts of chicken wings and legs in
the center of the dish.
Stirring and Turning Foods
•Stirring and turning foods spreads heat quickly
to the center of the dish and avoids overcooking at
the outer edges of the food.
Covering Food
Cover food to:
•reduce splattering
•shorten cooking times
•keep food moist
Releasing Pressure in Foods
•Several foods (for example: baked potatoes,
sausages, egg yolks, and some fruits) are tightly
covered by a skin or membrane. Steam can build
up under the membrane during cooking, causing
the food to burst. To relieve the pressure and to
prevent bursting, pierce these foods before cooking
with a fork, cocktail pick, or toothpick.
Using Standing Time
•Always allow food to stand either in or out of the
oven after cooking power stops. Standing time after
defrosting and cooking allows the temperature to
evenly spread throughout the food, improving the
cooking results. For inside oven standing time,
program a 0 power second stage of the cooking
cycle. See Cooking with More than One Cook
Cycle.
•The length of the standing time depends on how
much food you are cooking and how dense it is.
Sometimes it can be as short as the time it takes
you to remove the food from the oven and take it
to the serving table. However, with larger, denser
food items, the standing time may be as long as 10
minutes.
Arranging Food
For best results, place food evenly on the plate. You
can do this in several ways:
•If you are cooking several items of the same
food, such as baked potatoes, place them in a ring
pattern for uniform cooking.
•When cooking foods of uneven shapes or
thickness, such as chicken breasts, place the
smaller or thinner area of the food towards the
center of the dish where it will be heated last.
•Layer thin slices of meat on top of each other.
•When you cook or reheat whole fish, score the
skin to prevent cracking.
•Do not let food or a container touch the top or
sides of the oven. This will prevent possible arcing.

13
MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS
Using Aluminum Foil
Metal containers should not be used in a microwave
oven. However, if you have purchased food which
is prepackaged in an aluminum foil container, refer
to the instructions on the package. When using
aluminum foil containers, cooking times may be
longer because microwaves will only penetrate the
exposed top of the food and not the bottom or the
sides. If using aluminum containers without package
instructions, follow these guidelines:
•Place the aluminum foil container in a glass bowl
and add water so that it covers the bottom of the
container, but not more than ¼ in. (.64 cm) deep.
This ensures even heating of the container bottom.
•Always remove the container lid to avoid damage
to the oven.
•Use only undamaged containers.
•Do not use containers taller than ¾ in. (1.9 cm).
•Container must be at least half filled.
•To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum ¼
in.(.64 cm) between the aluminum container
and the walls of the oven and also between two
aluminum containers.
•Always place the container on the turntable.
•Shield parts of food that may cook quickly, such as
wing tips and leg ends of poultry, with small pieces
of aluminum foil.
•Heating food in aluminum foil containers usually
takes up to double the time compared to reheating
in plastic, glass, china, or paper containers.
The cooking time will vary depending upon the type
of container you use.
•Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after heating so
that heat is spread evenly throughout the container.
Do Not Can or Sterilize in Oven
•Do not try to can food in the oven. Closed glass
jars may explode, resulting in damage to the oven.
•Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize objects
(baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at
the high temperature needed for sterilization.
Removing the Rack
•When popping commercially packaged
popcorn, remove the rack and drip pan from the
oven.
Do not place the bag of microwave popcorn on
the rack or under the rack. Leave the glass tray in
place at all times.
CAUTION
•Popping microwave popcorn with rack and drip
pan in place can cause fire or damage to the
microwave oven.

14 MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS
Cooking Guide
Cooking with your new oven offers a wide variety of
food preparation options: microwave cooking.
Microwave cooking uses very short, high-frequency
radio waves. The movement of the microwaves
through the food generates heat and cooks most
foods faster than regular methods, while retaining
their natural texture and moisture. Microwave cooking
heats food directly, not the cookware or the interior
of the oven. Reheating is easy and defrosting is
particularly convenient because less time is spent in
food preparation.
