IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Groundin
instructions
Oven MUST be grounded. Grounding reduces risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric
current if an electrical short occurs. This oven 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. See Installation Instructions.
Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the oven is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the product power cord
is too short, have a qualified electrician install a three-slot
receptacle. This oven should be plugged into a separate
60 hertz circuit with the electrical rating as shown in
specifications table. When the oven is on a circuit with
other equipment, an increase in cooking times may be
required and fuses can be blown.
Microwave operates on standard household current, 110-
120V.

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.
* Size: Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones, pieces similar in size and shape cook more evenly For even

poultry
oLet JtStand: After you remove the food from the microwave, cover food with foil or casserole hd and let it stand to
finish cooking in the center and avoid overcook_ng 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 1omicrowawng to prevent drying out.

of time, and another Power Level for
another length of time.Your oven can
be set to change from one to another

Operating Instructions
SENSOR OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Sensor Cook allows you to cook
most of your favorite foods without
selecting cooking times and power
levels. The display will indicate the
sensing period by scrolling the name
of the food. The oven automatically
determines required cooking time for
each food item. When the internal
sensor detects a certain amount
of humidity coming from the food, it
will tell the oven how much longer
to cook. The display will show the
remaining heating time.
For best results when cooking
by Sensor, follow these
recommendations:
1. Food cooked with the sensor
system should be at normal
storage temperature.
2. Glass turntable and outside of
container should be dry to assure
best cooking results.
3. Most foods should always be
covered loosely with microwavable
plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a lid.
4. Do not open the door or touch
the STOP/CLEAR pad during the
sensing time. When 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.
IMPORTANT:
When using sensor cook, the oven
must cool for 5 minutes between
uses or food will not cook properly.
SENSOR COOKING
GUIDE
Appropriate containers and coverings
help assure good Sensor cooking
results.
1. Always use microwavable con-
tainers and cover them with lids or
vented plastic wrap.
2. Never use tight-sealing plastic
covers. They can prevent steam
from escaping and cause food to
overcook.
3. Match the amount to the size of the
container. Fill containers at least
half full for best results.
4. Be sure the outside of the cooking
container and the inside of the
microwave oven are dry before
placing food in the oven. Beads of
moisture turning into steam can
mislead the sensor.
NOTE:
If food is not thoroughly cooked or
reheated when using the sensor
feature, complete using a power
level and cooking time. DO NOT
continue using the sensor pad.
ADDING OR
SU BTRACTING
COOKTIME

DEFROSTTIPS
•When usingAUTO DEFROST,the
weight to be entered isthe netweight in
poundsand tenths of pounds (the weight
ofthe food minus the container).
• Use AUTO DEFROST onlyfor raw
food.AUTO DEFROST gives best
results when foodto be thawed isa
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,
alwaysprogram a lower foodweight (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 lowerfood
weight.
• Theshape of the package alters the
defrostingtime. Shallow rectangular
packets defrost more quicklythan a
deep block.
• Separate pieces as they begin to defrost.
Separated pieces defrost more easily.
• Shield areas offood with small pieces of
foil if they start to become warm.
,,Youcan usesmall pieces of alu-minum
foil to shield foods like chickenwings, leg
tips, and fish tails, but the foilmust not
touch the side of the oven. Foilcauses
arcing, which can damage the oven
lining.
1POUND DEFROST
The 1POUND DEFROSTfeature provides
a rapid defrost for 1.0pound frozen food.
The ovenautomatically sets the defrosting

To use rack:
1. Place rack securely in the four
plastic supports.
•Rack MUST NOT touch metal
walls or back of microwave oven.
2. Place equal amounts of food both
ABOVE AND BELOW rack.
•Amount of food must be
approximately the same to
balance out cooking energy.
IMPORTANT:
