is supported by the wall. The wall should be
constructed of a minimum of 2" x 4" wood
studding and 3/8" thick drywall or plaster/lath.
• Attach the 2 lag screws supporting the oven to a
vertical, 2" x 4" wall stud.
• DO NOT mount the microwave oven to an island
or peninsula cabinet.
en-us_main.book.book Page 7 Wednesday, November 29, 2023 5:29 PM

8INSTALLATION
• Be sure that the upper cabinet and rear wall
structures can support 150 lb. plus the weight of
any items you place inside the oven or upper
cabinet.
• Locate the oven away from areas with strong
drafts, such as near windows, doors, and large
heating vents.
• Make sure that you have enough space. See the
clearance diagrams in the installation manual for
the minimum vertical and horizontal clearances.
• Refer to the Installation Instructions for
details.
Electrical Requirements
The oven is designed to operate on a standard 120
V/60 Hz household outlet. Be sure that 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. No other electrical appliances or lighting
circuits should be on this line. If in doubt, consult a
licensed electrician.
Voltage Warning
The voltage used at the wall socket 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. Using 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. If the microwave oven does not perform
normally in spite of proper voltage, unplug and
reconnect the power cord.
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. To prevent damage to the
oven, a sensitive safety device detects overheating
and automatically turns the oven off. The oven
cannot be used 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.
• Consult a qualified electrician or service person if
the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
- 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.
• Ensure that the product is properly grounded
before use.
• Keep the electrical power cord dry and do not
pinch or crush it in any way.
• 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.
WARNING
• Improper use of the grounding can result in a
risk of electric shock.
• Do not use an extension cord. If the power
supply cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician or service man 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.
NOTE
• 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.

Cookware Guide
Microwave-Safe Cookware
Use microwavable cookware.
•Ovenproof Glass
- Ovenproof glassware that is treated for high
intensity heat so it is heat-resistant is
microwave-safe.
- Use utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake
plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and
bowls without metal rims.
- Do not use delicate glassware, such as
tumblers or wine glasses, as these might
shatter when heated.
•China
- Use bowls, cups, serving plates, pottery,
stoneware, ceramic, and platters without
metal rims or handles. Many containers made
of these materials are microwave-safe, but test
them before use.
•Plastic
- Plastic Storage Containers: Use plastic
dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer containers and
plastic bags only for short cooking times. Do
not use them when cooking food for long
periods or at high power levels, as the hot food
will eventually warp or melt the plastic.
- Plastic wrap (as a cover): Lay the plastic wrap
loosely over the dish and press it to the sides.
Vent plastic wrap by turning back one edge
slightly to allow excess steam to escape. The
dish should be deep enough so that the plastic
wrap will not touch the food. As the food heats
it may melt the plastic wrap wherever the wrap
touches the food.
- Plastic Cooking Bags: Provided they are
specially made for cooking, cooking bags are
microwave safe. Remember to make a slit in
the bag so that steam can escape. Never use
ordinary plastic bags for cooking in the
microwave oven, as they will melt and rupture.
- Plastic Microwave Cookware: A variety of
shapes and sizes of microwave cookware are
available. You may be able to use items you
already have on hand rather than investing in
new kitchen equipment.
•Paper
- Use paper towels, waxed paper, paper
napkins, and paper plates with no metal rims
or design. Look for the manufacturer’s label
for use in the microwave oven.
- Paper plates and containers are convenient
and safe to use in the microwave oven,
provided that the cooking time is short and the
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.
- Avoid colored paper products as the color may
run. Do not use recycled paper products in the
microwave oven. They may contain impurities
which could cause arcing or fires when used in
the microwave.
•Tableware
- Many containers made of pottery, stoneware
and ceramic are also microwave-safe. If in
doubt consult the manufacturer’s literature or
perform the microwave test.
- Do not put plates with painted decoration in
the oven, as the paint may contain metal and
cause arcing.
Microwave-Unsafe Cookware
•Metal Containers/Metal Decoration
- Never use metal or metal-rimmed cookware in
the 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.
- Metal shields the food from microwave energy
and produces uneven cooking. Also avoid
metal skewers, thermometers, foil trays,
metal-rimmed or metal-banded dinnerware,
casserole dishes, etc. The metal rim interferes
with normal cooking and may damage the
oven.
en-us_main.book.book Page 17 Wednesday, November 29, 2023 5:29 PM

18 OPERATION
•Aluminum Foil
- Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because
they hinder cooking and may cause harmful
arcing.
- Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs
and wings.
- Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch from
the side walls and door of the oven.
•Wood
- Wood bowls and boards will dry out and may
split or crack when you use them in the
microwave oven.
- Baskets react in the same way.
•Tightly Covered Cookware
- Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape
from covered containers.
- Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other
food items before cooking.
- Tightly closed pouches could explode.
•Brown Paper
- Avoid using brown paper bags.
- They absorb too much heat and could burn.
•Flawed or Chipped Cookware
- Any container that is cracked, flawed, or
chipped may break in the oven.
•Metal Twist Ties
- Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper
bags.
- They become hot and could cause a fire.
Testing Cookware before Use
Most heat resistant and non-metallic cookware is
safe for use in your oven. However, some
cookware may contain materials that are not
suitable for microwave use. Follow the steps below
to find out if cookware can be used in the
microwave.
1 Place the container in question and a glass
measuring cup filled with water next to each
other inside the oven.
2 Heat the container and glass measuring cup
for 1 minute at HIGH power.
• If the water heats up but the container
remains cool to the touch, the container is
microwave-safe.
• If the temperature of the water does not
change but the container becomes warm, it
is not safe for use in the microwave oven.
CAUTION
• Some items with high lead or iron content are
not suitable for microwave cooking.
• Cookware should be checked to ensure that it is
suitable for use in the microwave.
• Always be careful when taking cookware out of
the oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the
cooked food and may be hot.
Cooking Guide
Cooking Tips
Carefully monitor the food in the microwave oven
while it is cooking. Directions given in recipes to
elevate, stir, etc., are the minimum steps
recommended. If food is overcooked (dry),
undercooked, or unevenly cooked, make
adjustments before or during cooking to correct
the problem.
•Overcooked or Dry Food
- Sprinkling: Sprinkle low-moisture foods such
as roasts and vegetables with water before
cooking, or cover them to retain moisture.
- Density: Light, porous food such as cakes and
breads cook more quickly than heavy, dense
foods such as roasts and casseroles.
- Shielding: Cover the corners of square dishes
with small strips of aluminum foil to prevent
overcooking. Don’t use too much foil, and
secure the foil to the dish. Foil can cause
arcing if it gets too close to the oven walls
during cooking.
- Bones and Fat: Bones conduct heat, and fat
cooks more quickly than meat. Take care with
bony or fatty cuts of meat.
•Undercooked Food
- Covering: Cover food with a microwave-safe
lid, parchment paper (not waxed paper), or
plastic wrap to trap heat and steam and cook
food more quickly.
- Standing Time: Let food stand for several
minutes after being removed from the oven to
allow it to finish cooking and help flavors blend
and develop.
- Quantity: The more food you place in the
oven, the longer the required cooking time.
en-us_main.book.book Page 18 Wednesday, November 29, 2023 5:29 PM

19OPERATION
ENGLISH
- Temperature: Ice-cold ingredients take much
longer to cook than room temperature
ingredients.
•Unevenly Cooked Food
- Stirring: Stir food from the outside toward the
center during cooking, as food at the outside
of the dish heats more quickly.
- Arranging: Turn food over several times
during cooking. The upper portion of thick
foods cooks more quickly than the lower
portion.
- Shaping: Place the thickest portions of foods
like meat, poultry or fish toward the outside of
the cookware to help them cook more evenly.
If possible, shape foods into thin rounds or
rings.
•Foods with Skin, Shell or Membrane
- Skin or Membrane: Pierce the outsides of
foods like potatoes, sausages, or egg whites or
yolks before cooking.
- Shell: Pierce or remove the shells from eggs,
clams, oysters, or other shelled foods before
cooking.
•Defrosting Tips
- Remove fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry from
its original wrapping paper or plastic package.
Otherwise, the wrap close to the foods will
hold steam and heat, which can cause the
outer surface of the foods to be cooked.
- Remove any metal twist ties.
- Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or
packaging.
- Open containers such as cartons before they
are placed in the oven.
- If food is foil wrapped, remove the foil and
place the food in a suitable container.
- The length of defrosting time varies
depending on the shape of the food and on
how solidly the food is frozen.
- As food begins to defrost, separate the food
into pieces so that they can defrost more
easily.
- Turn over food during defrosting or standing
time. Separate into pieces and remove food as
required.
- Let food stand after defrosting. Food should
still be somewhat icy in the center when
removed from the oven.
- 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).
- Slit the skins of frozen foods such as sausage.
- Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even
defrosting.
- Place food in a shallow container or in a
microwave roasting dish to catch the
drippings.
- Always underestimate defrosting time. Food
should still be somewhat icy in the center
when removed from the oven. If defrosted
food is still frozen solid in the center, return it
to the microwave oven for more defrosting.
- Depending on the shape of the food, some
areas may defrost more quickly than others.
- The shape of the package affects how quickly
food will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost
more quickly than a deep block.
- For best results, shape ground meat into the
form of a doughnut before freezing. When
defrosting, scrape off thawed meat when the
beep sounds and continue defrosting.
- Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield
parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips,
fish tails, or areas that start to get warm. Make
sure the foil does not touch the sides, top, or
bottom of the oven. The foil can damage the
oven lining.
Precautions
WARNING
• Do not use your microwave oven to cook eggs in
the shell. Pressure can build up inside the shell,
causing it to burst.
• Never operate the oven when it is empty. Food
or water should always be in the oven during
operation to absorb the microwave energy.
• To program the oven, press the center of each
button firmly. When a button is pressed
correctly, a beep sounds and the oven is
activated. Do not press several buttons at once.
• Do not strike the control panel with silverware,
utensils, etc. It may be damaged or broken.
• Always be careful when taking cookware out of
the oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the
cooked food and may be hot. See the Cookware
Guide section for more information.
• To avoid breakage, allow cookware to cool
before rinsing or submerging in water. Always
allow the turntable to cool before removing it
from the oven.
• Do not use the oven to dry newspapers or
clothes. They may catch fire.
en-us_main.book.book Page 19 Wednesday, November 29, 2023 5:29 PM

20 OPERATION
• Use thermometers that have been approved for
microwave oven cooking.
