clothes, paper, and other flammable materials away from parts of the appliance that may become hot.
• The electrical power must be shut off while the electrical connections are being made.
• Improper connection of aluminum house wiring to copper leads can result in an electrical hazard or fire.
Use only connectors designed for joining copper to aluminum and follow the manufacturer’s
recommended procedure closely.
Operation
• DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN. Heating elements may be hot
even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements
or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces, such as oven vent
openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors, also get hot and
may cause burns if not allowed to cool.
• Use care when opening door. The hot air and steam that escape can cause burns to hands, face and
eyes. Let hot air or steam escape from the oven before removing or replacing food in the oven.
• Do not use plastic to cover food.
• Never attempt to dry a pet in the oven.
• Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
• Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing food from the oven or the surface element.

Operating the Microwave
Before Using
WARNING
• To avoid risk of personal injury or property
damage, do not use stoneware, metal cookware,
or metal rimmed cookware in the oven.
• 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.
• Do not use the oven to dry newspapers or
clothes. They may catch fire.
NOTE
• If you wait longer than 5 minutes after closing
the oven door to press START, the display shows
INSERT FOOD. Open and close the door to
operate the oven.
• Press the center of each key firmly since the

pressed correctly. Don’t press several keys at
once.
• Do not strike the control panel with silverware,
cookware, 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, do not rinse containers or
the glass turntable in water while they are hot.
• Always allow the turntable to cool before
removing it from the oven.
• The turntable must always be in place when you
operate the oven.
Microwave Cookware Guide
Microwave-Safe Cookware
Use microwavable cookware.
WARNING
• Do not permit children to use plastic cookware
without complete supervision.
•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.

15OPERATION
ENGLISH
- 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, ceramics, 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
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
- 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.
•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" (2.54 cm)
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

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 it is 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.
- 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 portions of thick
foods cook more quickly than the lower
portions. Thick or dense foods can be elevated
so that microwaves can be absorbed by the
underside and center of the foods.
- 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.
•Testing if Cooked
- Microwaves cook food quickly, so test food for
doneness frequently. Some foods are left in
the microwave until completely cooked, but
most foods, including meats and poultry,
should be 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.
•Defrosting Tips
- Remove fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry from
their original wrapping paper or plastic
package. Otherwise, the wrap close to the food
will hold steam and heat, which can cause the
outer surface of the food 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 food 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.

17OPERATION
ENGLISH
- 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 upper 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.

Sensor Cook Mode
About Features
This function reheats favorite foods without
requiring you to select cooking times and power
levels. The oven automatically determines the
required cooking time for each food item. When
the internal sensor detects a certain amount of
humidity coming from the food, it tells the oven
how much longer to heat.
The display shows the remaining heating time. For
best results when sensor cooking, follow these
recommendations.
• Food should be at normal storage temperature.
• The glass tray and the outside of the container
should be dry.
• Do not open the door or press CLEAR/OFF
during the sensing time. When the sensing time
is over, the oven beeps and the remaining
cooking time will appear in the display window.
At this time you can open the door to stir, turn,
or rearrange the food.
Appropriate containers and coverings help assure
good sensor cooking results.
• Always use microwavable containers and cover
them loosely with lids or vented plastic wrap.
• Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can
prevent steam from escaping and cause food to
overcook.
• Match the amount of food to the size of the
container. Fill containers at least half full for best
results.
• Be sure the outside of the cooking container and
the inside of the upper oven are dry before
placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture
turning into steam can mislead the sensor.
