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. The appliance 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.
WARNING:Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Electrical Requirements
The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp. It is recommended that a
3

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.
Notes:
1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified
electrician or service person.
2. Neither 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, check that
the microwave oven is on a different circuit, relocated the radio or TV as far away from the oven
as feasible or check position and signal of receiving antenna.
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.
4

·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.
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.
·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 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 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.
