SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

a. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
In the event of an electrical short clrcult, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by provldlng an escape wire
for the electric current. The power cord of this appliance ISequipped wtth a three-prong (groundrng) plug (F/g. 1)
to mlnlmlze the posslblllty of electric shock hazard from this appliance
The plug must be plugged Into an outlet that IS properly installed and grounded.
WARNING
- Improper use of the grounding plug can result tn a risk of electric shock.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord plug.
PREFERRED METHOD
THREE-PRONG PLUG
INSURE PROPER GROUND EXISTS BEFORE USE

INSURE PROPER GROUND AND
FIRM CONNECTION BEFORE USE
Fig 2
The consumer should have It checked by a quailfled electrIcian or servlceman if the grounding InstructIons are
not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance IS properly grounded Where a stan-
dard two-prong wall receptacle ISencountered, It ISthe personal responslblllty and obligation of the consumer to
have It replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle
1 Usage sltuatlons where appliance’s power cord WIII be dlsconnected Infrequently Because of potential safety
hazards under certain condltlons, we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug
However, if you ~1111elect to use an adapter, where local codes permit. a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be
made to a properly grounded two-prong wall receptacle by the use of an UL ltsted adapter which IS available at
most local hardware stores (Fig 2)
The larger slot In [he adapter must be aligned with the larger slot In the wall receptacle to provide polarity In the
connection of the power cord.
CAUTION: Attaclllng the adaprer ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appll-
ante unless the cover screw ISmetal, and not Insulated. and the wall receptacle 1sgrounded through the house
wlnng
2 Usage sltuatlons where appliance’s power cord WIII be dlsconnected frequently Do not use an adapter plug
111these sltuatlons because frequent dlsconnectlng of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter and
leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal The customer should have two-prong wall receptacle
replaced with a tllree~prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrlclan before using the appllanc’e.
3 Use 01 extens’on cords 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 S~slot receptacle that WI/I accept the plug on the appliance The marked rating
of the extension cord should be equal to or greater than the electrlcal ra!lng of the appliance

b. CIRCUITS:
For safety purposes this oven must be plugged Into a 15 Amp clrcult. no other electrical appliances or lighting
circuits should be on this line A 20 Amp lrne can be used to permit addrtional outlets. If in doubt, consult a
licensed electrIcIan
C.
VOLTAGE WARNING:
The voltage used at the wall receptacle must be the same as speclfled on the oven model and senal numbers
plate located on the rear of the oven Use of a higher voltage IS dangerous and may result In a fire or other
type of accident causing oven damage. Low voltage WIII cause slow cooklng. In case your microwave oven
does not perform normal operation In accordance with AC power source and voltage, remove the power cord
and then Insert it again.
d. PLACEMENT OF THE OVEN:
Your mIcrowave oven can easily be placed In your kitchen, family room or any other room In your home. Place
the oven on a flat surface such as a kitchen counter top or a specially designed microwave oven cart. Do not
place oven above a gas or electric range. Free air flow around the oven is important.
e. DO NOT BLOCK VENTS:
All air vents should be kept clear during cooking If air vents are covered durrng oven operation the oven may
overheat If this happens a sensttlve thermal safety device automatically turns the oven off. The oven will be
Inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently.

food and may be too hot to touch.
6. Do not cool the glass tray by placing tt into water rmmedrately after cooking. Thus may cause breakage or
damage.
7. Do not continue to cook with metal utensils If sparking occurs. See cooking utensrls sectron in the cookbook.
8. Do not operate the oven empty. Either food or water should always be In the oven dunng operation to absorb

For Best Results:
1 When determrnlng time for a particular food, begin
by using mlnlrnum time and check occasionally for
desired doneness.
2 Small quantltles of food or foods with low water
content may bL)rn, dry out, or become hard If cooked
too long
3. Do not ~001. eggs in the shell They may burst
4 Foods with non-porous skin
or membrane (I e apples, pota-
toes, eggs) should be pierced
when heated whole to prevent
bursting.
5. Do not use narrow neck bottles in the microwave
oven They may shatter.
Defrosting Frozen Foods:
1 Foods that have been frozen in non-metallic wrap-
ping can be placed directly In the oven for thawing
2 If some por:lons of the foods
thaw faster than other areas,
cover the thawed portions with
small pieces of aluminum foil
This helps slow down or stop
the defrosting process In the
shielded areai
Browning:
There are some foods which are not cooked long
enough In the microwave oven to brown and for more
eye appeal may need additIonal color.
Coating mixes such as SHAKE & BAKE@ paprika.
steak sauce or browning sauce such as Kitchen
Bouquet’ or Worcestershire may be used on chops,
meat pattres or chicken parts Roasts and poultry
(cooked for 15 minutes or longer) brown nicely
without anythlng added
Browning Dish:
Micro brownlrlg dishes may be used to achieve a
brown surface on small Items such as steaks, chops,
pancakes, etc Follow InstructIons provided wtth
Micro brownlny dish The Micro browning dishes are
designed only for use In mlcrowave ovens Do not use
in conventional oven or range top.
Time Variations:
Foods available vary throughout the country and may
cause cooking times to differ from those given in the
cookbook For this reason, cooking rimes given are
approximate. Factors that may affect cooking time
Include startlnq temperature. volume, size and shape
of foods and utensils
lamlllar with the oven,
timing to these factors
Cooking Utensils:
1 Most glass, glass
glassware utensils are
used. As you become more
you WIII be able to adjust the
ceramic. and heat resistant

trim should not be used In the microwave oven.
2 Paper napkins. towels, plates, cups, cartons,
freezer wrap and cardboard are great convenient
utensils Some recycled paper products may contain
lmpurlties which when combined with hot fat could
cause sparking (arcing) or ftres when used for cook.

PRODUCTS )
3 Plastic dishes, cups, freezer containers and plastic
wraps may be used In the mlcrowave oven. Follow
Manufacturer’s InstructIons of lnformatton given in
Cookbook when using plastics in the microwave
oven
4 Metal utensils and utensils with metallic trim
should not be used In the microwave oven For
more InstructIons on the proper use of metal In your
oven, please read the Introduction section in the
Cookbook
When using foil, skewers, or utensils made of metal In
the oven allow at least one Inch of space between
metal material and interior oven walls If arcing (spark-
Ing) appears, remove metal material (skewer; etc) and
transfer to a non-metallic container
5 Do not pop popcorn In your microwave oven
unless in a special microwave popcorn accessory or
unless you use popcorn labeled for use in microwave

1. Keep the rnsrde of the oven clean Food spatters or
sprlled liquids strck to oven walls and between seal
and door surface It ISbest to wipe up sprllovers with a
damp cloth rrght away. Crumbs and sprl!overs WIII
attract mlcrowave energy and lengthen cookrng time
Use a damp cloth to wipe up crumbs that fall between
the door and the frame
It IS Important to keep this area clean to assure a ilght
seal. Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then
rinse and dry, Do not use harsh detergents or abra-
sive cleaners.
The glass tray can be washed by hana or IIYthe dash-
washer.
