GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the
event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces risk of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current. The
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
plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman
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 a serviceman install an outlet
near the appliance.
Electrical Requirements
The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60
Hz, AC only, 15 amp. It is recommended that
a separate circuit serving only the oven be
provided. The oven is equipped with a
3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged
into a wall receptacle that is properly installed
and grounded.
Power Supply Cord
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 long cord or extension cord is used˖
a) The marked electrical rating of the
cord set or extension cord should
be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance.
b) The extension cord must be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
The longer cord should be arranged
so that it will not drape over the
counter top or table top where it can
be pulled on by children or tripped
over unintentionally.
Notes:
1. If you have any questions about the
grounding or electrical instructions,
consult a qualified electrician or service
person.
2. Neither LodgingStar nor the dealer can
accept any liability for damage to the
oven or personal injury resulting from
failure to observe the electrical
connection procedures.
Radio or TV Interference
Should there be any interference caused by
the microwave oven to your radio or TV,

5
check that the microwave oven is on a
different circuit, relocated the radio or TV as
far away from the oven as feasible or check
position and signal of receiving antenna.
UTENSILS GUIDE
This section lists which utensils can be used
in the microwave, which ones have limited
use for short periods, and which ones should
not be used in the microwave.
Recommended
gMicrowave browning dish üUse to brown
the exterior of small items such as steaks,
chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions
provided with your browning dish.
gMicrowaveable plastic wrap üUse to
retain steam. Leave a small opening for
some steam to escape and avoid placing it
directly on the food.
gPaper towels and napkins üUse for
short-term heating and covering; These
absorb excess moisture and prevent
spattering. Do not use recycled paper
towels, which may contain metal and
could ignite.
gGlass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes
üUse for heating or cooking.
gPaper plates and cups üUse for
short-term heating at low temperatures. Do
not use recycled paper, which may
contain metal and could ignite.
gWax paper üUse as a cover to prevent
spattering.
gThermometers üUse only those labeled
“Microwave Safe” and follow all directions.
Check the food in several places.
Conventional thermometers may be used
on microwave food once the food has been
removed from the oven.
Limited Use
g
Aluminum foil üUse narrow strips of foil to
prevent overcooking of exposed areas.
Using too much foil can damage your oven,
so be careful.
gCeramic, porcelain, and stoneware üUse
these if they are labeled “Microwave Safe”.
If they are not labeled, test them to make
sure they can be used safely.
gPlastic üUse only if labeled “Microwave
Safe”. Other plastics can melt.
gStraw, wicker, and wood üUse only for
short-term heating, such as warming
dinner rolls for a few seconds. Baskets and
bowls may be flammable.
Not Recommended
gGlass jars and bottles üRegular glass is
too thin to be used in a microwave. It can
shatter and cause damage and injury.
gPaper bags üThese are a fire hazard,
except for popcorn bags that are designed
for microwave use.
gStyrofoam plates and cups üThese can
melt and leave an unhealthy residue on
food.
gPlastic storage and food containers ü
Containers such as margarine tubs can

6
melt in the microwave.
gMetal utensils üThese can damage your
oven. Remove all metal before cooking.
Note: Should you wish to check if a dish is
safe for microwaving, place the empty
dish in the oven and microwave on
HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish which
becomes very hot should not be used.
COOKING TECHNIQUES
Your microwave makes cooking easier than conventional cooking, provided you keep these
considerations in mind:
Stirring
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables
while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food
at the outside of the dish absorbs more
energy and heats more quickly, so stir from
the outside to the center. The oven will turn
off when you open the door to stir your food.
Arrangement
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as
chicken pieces or chops, with the thicker,
meatier parts toward the outside of the
turntable where they receive more
microwave energy. To prevent overcooking,
place delicate areas, such as asparagus tips,
toward the center of the turntable.
Shielding
Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum
foil to prevent overcooking. Areas that need
shielding include poultry wing-tips, the ends
of poultry legs, and corners of square baking
dishes. Use only small amounts of aluminum
foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven.
Turning
Turn foods over midway through cooking to
expose all parts to microwave energy. This is
especially important with large foods such as
roasts.
Standing
Foods cooked in the microwave build up
internal heat and continue to cook for a few
minutes after heating stops. Let foods stand
to complete cooking, especially foods such
as cakes and whole vegetables. Roasts need
this time to complete cooking in the center
without overcooking the outer areas. All
liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate, should
be shaken or stirred when cooking is
complete. Let liquids stand a moment before
serving. When heating baby food, stir well at
removal and test the temperature before
serving.
Adding moisture
Microwave energy is attracted to water
molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture
content should be covered or allowed to
stand so that the heat disperses evenly. Add
a small amount of water to dry food to help it
cook.

7
BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE
If the oven fails to operate:
A) Check to ensure that the oven is plugged
in securely. If it is not, remove the plug
from the outlet, wait 10 seconds and plug
it in again securely.
B) Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped
main circuit breaker. If these seem to be
operating properly, test the outlet with
another appliance.
C) Check to ensure that the control panel is
programmed correctly and the timer is set.
D) Check to ensure that the door is securely
closed engaging the door safety lock
system. Otherwise, the microwave energy
will not flow into the oven.
IF NONE OF THE ABOVE RECTIFIES THE SITUATION, THEN CONTACT A QUALIFIED
TECHNICIAN. DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE OVEN YOURSELF.
