GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If an electrical
short circuit occurs, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. The cord for this appliance has a
grounding wire with a grounding plug. Put the plug into
an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING - If you use the grounding plug
improperly, you risk electric shock.
Ask a qualified electrician if you do not understand the
grounding instructions or if you wonder whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
Because this appliance fits under the cabinet, it has a
short power-supply cord. See the separate Installation
Instructions for directions on properly placing the cord.
Keep the electrical power cord dry and do not pinch or
crush it in any way.
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.
For a permanently connected appliance:
This appliance must be connected to a grounded,
metallic, permanent wiring system, or an equipment
grounding conductor should be run with the circuit
conductors and connected to the equipment grounding
terminal or lead on the appliance.
Ensure proper ground
exists before use

Weight conversion chart
You are probably used to food weights as being in
pounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for
example 4 ounces equals 1/4 pound).
However, in order to enter food weight in DEFROST,
you must specify pounds and tenths of a pound. If the
weight on the food package is in fractions of a pound,
you can use the following chart to convert the weight to
decimals.
DEFROSTING TIPS
• When using DEFROST, the weight to be entered
is the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds
(the weight of the food minus the container).
• Use DEFROST only for raw food. DEFROST gives
best results when food to be thawed is a minimum
of 0˚F (taken directly from a true freezer). If food
has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer that does
not maintain a temperature of
5˚F or below, always program a lower food weight
(for a shorter defrosting time) to prevent cooking
the food.
• If the food is stored outside the freezer for up to
20 minutes, enter a lower food weight.
• The shape of the package alters the defrosting
time. Shallow rectangular packets defrost more
quickly than a deep block.
• Separate pieces as they begin to defrost.
Separated pieces defrost more easily.
• You can use small pieces of aluminum foil to
shield foods like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish
tails, but the foil must not touch the side of the
oven. Foil can damage the oven lining.
• Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if
they start to become warm.
• For better results, a preset standing time is
included in the defrosting time.

AUTO DEFROST
Your microwave oven is preset with three defrost
sequences. Using AUTO DEFROST is the best way to
defrost frozen foods. The Defrost Sequence Table
below provides some basic guidelines for using the
three defrost sequences.
NOTE: Use the DEFROSTING RACK for three defrost
sequences.
For best defrost results, leave the
turntable on.
1. Touch STOP/CLEAR.

OPERATION
TWO POSITION METAL RACK
The two position Metal Rack gives you extra space
when cooking in more than one container at the same
time. The metal rack can be turned upside-down to
help fit taller containers on the bottom of the oven.
NOTE:
• Rack must be on 4 supports when used.
• Insert the rack securely into the four supports on the
side walls of the oven.
• Turn the rack upside-down when using taller
containers on the bottom of the oven.
WARNING:
DO NOT RUN THE OVEN EMPTY, WITHOUT FOOD IN IT.

COOKING
GETTING THE BEST COOKING
RESULTS
To get the best results from your microwave oven, read
and follow the guidelines below.
• Storage Temperature: Foods taken from the freezer
or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same
foods at room temperature. The time for recipes in
this book is based on the normal storage temperature
of the food.
• Size: Small pieces of food cook faster than large
ones, pieces similar in size and shape cook more
evenly. For even cooking, reduce the power when
cooking large pieces of food.
• Natural Moisture: Very moist foods cook more
evenly because microwave energy is attracted to
water molecules.
• Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables from
the outside to the center to distribute the heat evenly
and speed cooking. Constant stirring is not necessary.
• Turn over foods like pork chops, baking potatoes,
roasts, or whole cauliflower halfway through the
cooking time to expose all sides equally to
microwave energy.
• Place delicate areas of foods, such as asparagus
tips, toward the center of the dish.
• Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken
pieces or salmon steaks, with the thicker, meatier
parts toward the outside of the dish.
• Shield, with Small pieces of aluminum foil, parts of
food that may cook quickly, such as wing tips and leg
ends of poultry.
• Let It Stand: After you remove the food from the
microwave, cover food with foil or casserole lid and
let it stand to finish cooking in the center and avoid
overcooking the outer edges. The length of standing
time depends on the density and surface area of the
food.
• 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.
Fish & Shellfish
Cooking Fish and Shellfish: General Directions
• Prepare the fish for cooking.
- Completely defrost the fish or shellfish.
- Arrange unevenly shaped pieces with thicker parts
toward the outside of the dish. Arrange shellfish in
a single layer for even cooking.
- The type of cover you use depends on how you
cook. Poached fish needs a microwavable lid or
vented plastic wrap.
- Baked fish, coated fish, or fish in sauce needs to be
covered lightly with waxed paper to keep the
coating crisp and sauce from getting watery.
- Always set the shortest cooking time. Fish is done
when it turns opaque and the thickest part begins to
flake. Shellfish is done when the shell turns from
pink to red and the flesh is opaque and firm.
• The Fish and Shellfish Cooking Table below
provides specific directions with Power Level and
Cooking Time settings for most types of fish and
shellfish.

COOKING
Appetizers / Sauces / Soups
Cooking Appetizers: Tips and
Techniques
Recommended
• Crisp crackers, such as melba toast, shredded
wheat, and crisp rye crackers are best for
microwave use. Wait until party time to add the
spreads. Place a paper towel under the crackers
while they cook in the microwave oven to absorb
extra moisture.
• Arrange individual appetizers in a circle for even
cooking.
• Stir dips to distribute heat and shorten cooking time.
Cooking Sauces: Tips and Techniques
• Use a microwavable casserole or glass measuring
cup that is at least 2 or 3 times the volume of the
sauce.
• Sauces made with cornstarch thicken more rapidly
than those made with flour.
Cooking Soups: Tips and Techniques
• Cook soups in a microwavable dish which holds
double the volume of the recipe ingredients to
prevent boil-over, especially if you use cream or
milk in the soup.
• Generally, cover microwaved soups with VENTED
plastic wrap or a microwavable lid.
• Cover foods to retain moisture. Uncover foods to
retain crispness.
• Avoid overcooking by using the minimum suggested
time. Add more time, if necessary, only after
checking the food.
Not Recommended
• Appetizers with a crisp coating or puff pastry are
best done in a conventional oven with dry heat.
• Breaded products can be warmed in the microwave
oven but will not come out crisp.
• Cook sauces made with cornstarch or flour
uncovered so you may stir them 2 or 3 times during
cooking for a smooth consistency.
• To adapt a conventional sauce or gravy recipe,
reduce the amount of liquid slightly.
• Stirring occasionally will help blend flavors,
distribute heat evenly, and may even shorten the
cooking time.
• When converting a conventional soup recipe to
cook in the microwave, reduce the liquid, salt, and
strong seasonings.
Meat
Cooking Meat: General Directions
• Prepare the meat for cooking.
- Defrost completely.
- Trim off excess fat to avoid splattering.
- Place the meat, fat side down, on a microwavable
rack in a microwavable dish.
- Use oven cooking bag for less tender cuts of
meat.
- Arrange the meat so that thicker portions are
toward the outside of the dish.
- Cover the meat with waxed paper to prevent
splattering.
• Tend the meat as it cooks.
- Drain juices as they accumulate to reduce
splattering and keep from overcooking the bottom
of the meat.
- Shield thin or bony portions with strips of foil to
prevent overcooking.
NOTE: Keep the foil at least 1 inch from the oven
walls, and do not cover more than one-third of the meat
with foil at any one time.
• Let the meat stand covered with foil 10-15 minutes
after you remove it from the oven. The internal
temperature of the meat may rise from 5-10˚F
during standing time.
The Meat Cooking Table on the next page provides
detailed directions, Power Level, and Cooking Time
settings for most cuts of meat.
