cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker
panel.
d. Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave
paper products, cooking utensils or food in the cavity when
not in use.
9. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea, are able to be overheated
beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling due to
surface tension of the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling when
the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always
present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY
BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS
INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to person:
a. Do not overheat the liquid.
b. Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

Installation
1. Make sure that all the packing materials are removed from the inside of the
door.
2. WARNING: Check the oven 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 cavity or on the door. If there is any
damage, do not operate the oven and contact qualified service personnel.
3. This microwave oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface to hold its
weight and the heaviest food likely to be cooked in the oven.
4. Do not place the oven where heat, moisture, or high humidity are generated,
or near combustible materials.
5. For correct operation, the oven must have sufficient airflow. Allow 7.9” of
space above the oven, 3.9” at back and 2” at both sides. Do not cover or
block any openings on the appliance. Do not remove feet.
6. Do not operate the oven without glass tray, roller support, and shaft in their
proper positions.
7. Make sure that the power supply cord is undamaged and does not run under
the oven or over any hot or sharp surface.
8. The socket must be readily accessible so that it can be easily unplugged in an
emergency.
9. Do not use the oven outdoors.
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.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric
shock.
Electrical Requirements
The oven must be plugged into at least 15 amp, 120 volts, 60 Hz grounded
outlet. 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.
English English

6
Extension Cord
We do not recommend the use of an extension cord. 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 microwave oven.
The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the
electrical rating of the appliance.
Notes: 1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions,
consult a qualified electrician or service person.
2. Neither the manufacturer 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, move the radio or TV so that it is on a different circuit than the microwave.
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
• 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 microwave food once the food has been removed from the oven.
English English

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.
• Plastic - Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe.” Other plastics can melt.
•
Straw, wicker, and wood - Use only for short-term heating, such as
warming dinner rolls for a few seconds; baskets and bowls may be flammable.
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 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
that 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.
