extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot
receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked

10
EN
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 quali ed electrician or 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.

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.
UTENSILS GUIDE
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.

12
EN
Thermometers — Use 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
Aluminum foil — Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of
exposed areas. Using too much foil can damage your oven, so be
careful. You should keep distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between
aluminum foil and cavity.
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.
Plast ic — Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe”. Other plastics can
melt.
Not Recommended
Glass j ars 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 re 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.
Plast ic storage and food containers — Containers such as margarine
tubs can melt in the microwave.
Metal utensils — These 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

14
EN
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
