1. Make sure that all the packing materials are removed from the inside of the appliance.
2. Check the microwave for any damage, such as misaligned or bent door, damaged door seals and
sealing surface, broken or loose door hinges and latches and dents inside the microwave or on the
door. If there is any damage, do not operate the microwave. Contact a qualified service person.
3. This microwave must be placed on a flat, stable surface to hold its weight and the heaviest food
likely to be cooked in the microwave.
4. Do not place this appliance where heat, moisture, or high humidity are generated,

7. Make sure that the power supply cord is undamaged and does not run under the microwave or over
any hot or sharp surfaces.
8. The socket must be readily accessible so that it can be easily unplugged in an emergency.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
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, 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
service person. Install an outlet near the appliance.
Electrical Requirements
The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 20 amp. It is recommended that a separate
circuit serving only the microwave be provided. The microwave 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 a 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.

This section lists which utensils and materials 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
Microwave browning dish — Use to brown the exterior of small items such as steaks, chops, or pancakes.
Follow the directions provided with your browning dish.
Microwaveable plastic wrap — Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some steam to escape
and avoid placing it directly on the food.
Paper towels and napkins — Use 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.
Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes — Use for heating or cooking.
Paper plates and cups — Use for short—term heating at low temperatures. Do not use recycled paper,
which may contain metal and could ignite.
Wax paper — Use as a cover to prevent spattering.
Thermometers — Use only those labeled "Microwave Safe" and follow all directions. Check the food
in several places. Conventional thermometers may be used on microwaved food once the food has been
removed from the microwave.
Limited Use
Aluminum foil — Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Using too much foil
can damage your microwave, so be careful. You should keep a distance of l" (2.54 cm) between
aluminum foil and interior walls.
Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware— Use these if they are labeled "Microwave Safe". If they are not
labeled, test them to make sure they can be used safely.
Not Recommended
Glass jars and bottles — Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave. It can shatter and cause
damage and injury.
Paper bags — These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that are designed for microwave use.
Styrofoam plates and cups — These can melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food.
Plastic storage and food containers — Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the microwave.
Metal utensils — These can damage your microwave. Remove all metal before cooking.

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 centre.
The microwave 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 centre 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 microwave.
Turning
Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to microwave energy. This is especially
important with large pieces of food such as roasts.
Standing
Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue to cook for a few minutes aer
heating stops. Let foods rest for a few minutes to complete cooking, especially foods such as cakes
and whole vegetables. Roasts need this time to complete cooking in the centre 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.
