MICROWAVE OVEN SAFETY
– SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –
•Do not mount over a sink.
•Do not store anything directly on top of the
microwave oven surface when the microwave
oven is in operation.
•To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
– Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the
microwave oven if paper, plastic, or other
combustible materials are placed inside the
oven to facilitate cooking.
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
(a)Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door
open since open-door operation can result in
harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is
important not to defeat or tamper with the safety
interlocks.
(b)Do not place any object between the oven front
face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue
to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is
particularly important that the oven door close
properly and that there is no damage to the:
(1) door (bent),
(2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened),
(3) door seals and sealing surfaces.
(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by
anyone except properly qualified service personnel.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
– Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic
bags before placing bag in oven.
– If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep
oven door closed, turn oven off, and discon-
nect the power cord, or shut off power at the
fuse or circuit breaker panel.
– Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do
not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or
food in the cavity when not in use.

1. Empty the microwave oven and clean inside it
with a soft, damp cloth. Check for damage such
as a door that isn’t lined up correctly, damage
around the door, or dents inside the oven or
on the exterior. If there is any damage, do not
operate the oven until an authorized service
technician has checked it and made any
needed repairs.
2. Put the oven on a cart, counter, table, or shelf
that is strong enough to hold the oven and the
food and utensils you put in it. (The control side
of the unit is the heavy side. Use care when
handling the oven.) The weight of the oven is
about 40 lbs. The microwave oven should be at
a temperature above 50°F for proper operation.
NOTE: You can build your microwave oven into
a wall or cabinet by using one of the trim kits
listed in the “Built-in kits” section.
wWARNING
Fire Hazard
Do not install the oven next to or over a heat
source without a UL approved trim kit.
Doing so can result in death, fire,
or electrical shock.
NOTE: Do not block the exhaust vents or air intake
openings. Allow a few inches of space at the back
and side of the oven where the exhaust vents are
located. Blocking the exhaust vents could cause
damage to the oven and poor cooking results.
Make sure the microwave oven legs are in place
to ensure proper airflow. If vents are blocked, a
sensitive thermal safety device automatically turns
the oven off. The oven will not work until it has
cooled enough.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before you begin operating the oven, carefully read the following instructions.
Exhaust vents
(on side and
in rear)

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For all cord connected appliances:
The microwave oven must be grounded. In the event
of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the
risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire
for the electric current. The microwave 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.
WARNING –Improper use of the grounding can
result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood ,
or if doubt exists as to whether the microwave oven
is properly grounded.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp fused electrical
supply is required. (A time-delay fuse is recom-
mended.) It is recommended that a separate
circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
wWARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply
cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or
serviceman install an outlet near the microwave oven.
For a permanently connected appliance:
The microwave oven must be connected to a
grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system, or an
equipment grounding conductor should be run with
the circui t conductors and connected to the equip ment
grounding terminal or lead on the microwave oven.

Microwave ovens are safe. Microwave energy is
not hot. It causes food to make its own heat, and
it’s this heat that cooks the food.
Microwaves are like TV waves or light waves. You
cannot see them, but you can see what they do.
A magnetron in the microwave oven produces
microwaves. The microwaves move into the oven
where they contact food as it turns on the turntable.
wWARNING
Explosion Hazard
Do not store flammable materials such as gasoline near the microwave oven.
Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
HOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN WORKS
The glass turntable of your microwave oven lets
microwaves pass through. Then they bounce off a
metal floor, back through the glass turntable, and
are absorbed by the food.

GETTING TOKNOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows you the basics
you need to know to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information before you use
your oven.
continued on next page

8
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
Microwaves pass through most glass, paper, and
plastics without heating
them so food absorbs
the energy. Microwaves
bounce off metal con-
tainers so food does
not absorb the energy.
Microwaves may not reach the center of a roast.
The heat spreads to
the center from the
outer, cooked areas
just as in regular oven
cooking. This is one
of the reasons for
letting some foods
(for example, roasts
or baked potatoes)
stand for a while after
cooking, or for stirring
some foods during the cooking time.
The microwaves disturb water molecules in the
food. As the molecules bounce around bumping
into each other, heat is made, like rubbing
your hands together. This is the heat that does
the cooking.
NOTE: Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable
cookware is not suitable and it is difficult to
maintain appropriate deep-frying temperatures.
Using your microwave oven may cause interference
to your radio, TV, or similar equipment. When there
is interference, you can reduce it or remove it by:
•Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces of
the oven.
•Adjusting the receiving antenna of the radio
or television.
HOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN WORKS (CONT.)
To test the oven put about 1 cup of cold water in a
glass container in the oven. Close the
door. Make sure it latches. Follow the
directions in “Cooking at high cook
power” in the “Using Your Microwave
Oven” section to set the oven to cook
for 2 minutes. When the time is up, the water
should be heated.
TESTING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
•Moving the radio/TV away from the microwave
oven.
•Plugging the microwave oven into a different
outlet so that the microwave oven and radio/TV
are on different branch circuits.
RADIO INTERFERENCE
For the best cooking results
•Always cook food for the shortest cooking
time recommended. Check to see how
the food is cooking. If needed, touch ADD
MINUTE while the oven is operating or
after the cooking cycle is over (see the
“Using ADD MINUTE” section).
•Stir, turn over, or rearrange the food being
cooked about halfway through the cooking
time for all recipes. This will help make
sure the food is evenly cooked.
•If you do not have a cover for a dish, use
wax paper, or microwave-approved paper
towels or plastic wrap. Remember to turn
back a corner of the plastic wrap to vent
steam during cooking.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside the
shell. Steam buildup
in whole eggs may
cause them to burst
and burn you, and
possibly damage the
oven. Slice hard-boiled
eggs before heating.
In rare cases, poached
eggs have been known
to explode. Cover
poached eggs and
allow a standing time of one minute before cutting
into them.
For best results, stir any liquid several times
during heating or
reheating. Liquids
heated in certain
containers (especially
containers shaped like
cylinders) may become
overheated. The liquid
may splash out with a
loud noise during or
after heating or when
adding ingredients
(coffee granules, tea bags, etc.). This can harm
the oven and possibly injure someone.
Never lean on the door or allow a child to swing on it
when the door is open.
Injury could result.
Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heat
containers, but the heat
from the food can make
the container hot.␣
TESTING YOUR DINNERWARE OR COOKWARE
Test dinnerware or cookware before using.
To test a dish for safe use, put it into the oven
with a cup of water beside it. Cook at 100% cook
power for one minute. If the dish gets hot and
water stays cool, do not use it. Some dishes
(melamine, some ceramic dinnerware, etc.) absorb
microwave energy, becoming too hot to handle and
slowing cooking times. Cooking in metal containers
not designed for microwave use could damage the
oven, as could containers with hidden metal (twist-
ties, foil lining, staples, metallic glaze or trim).

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
If your electric power line or outlet voltage is less
than 110 volts, cooking times may be longer. Have
a qualified electrician check your electrical system.
Do not overcook potatoes. Fire could result. At
the end of the recom-
mended cooking time,
potatoes should be
slightly firm because
they will continue cook-
ing during standing
time. After micro-
waving, let potatoes
stand for 5 minutes.
They will finish cooking
while standing.
Do not start a microwave oven when it is empty.
Product life may be
shortened.
If you practice
programming the oven,
put a container of water
in the oven or use the
Demo Feature (see the
“Using PERSONAL
CHOICE” section).
It is normal for the
oven door to look wavy
after the oven has been running for a while.
Do not use newspaper or other printed paper in the
oven. Fire could result.
Do not dry flowers,
fruit, herbs, wood,
paper, gourds, or
clothes in the oven.
Fire could result.
OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (CONT.)
Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven. Paraffin
wax will not melt in a
microwave oven because
it allows microwaves to
pass through it.
Do not operate the microwave oven unless the
glass turntable is
securely in place and
can rotate freely on the
support rollers. The
turntable can rotate in
either direction.
Make sure the rollers
are completely inside
the center circle of the
turntable; this will let the
turntable rotate properly.
Make sure the turntable is correct-side up in the
oven. Carefully place the cookware on your
turntable to avoid possibly breaking it.
Handle your turntable with care when removing
it from the oven to avoid possibly breaking it. If your
turntable cracks or breaks, contact your dealer for
a replacement.
When you use a browning dish, the browning
dish bottom must be at least 3⁄16 inch above the
turntable. Follow the directions supplied with the
browning dish.

Your microwave oven is designed to make your
cooking experience enjoyable and productive. To
help get you up and running quickly, the following
is a list of the oven’s basic features:
1. One-Touch Door Open Button. Push this
button to open the door.
2. Door Safety Lock System. The oven will not
work unless the door is securely closed.
3. Window with Metal Shield. The shield prevents
microwaves from escaping. It is designed as a
screen to allow you to view food as it cooks.
4. Glass Turntable. This turntable turns food
as it cooks for more even cooking. It must be
in the oven during operation. The turntable is
sunken into the cavity floor to give you more
cooking space and better cooking results. See
pages 7, 10, 33, and 39 for more details.

For best results, some recipes call for different cook
powers. The lower the cook power, the slower the
cooking. Each Number pad also stands for a differ-
ent percentage of cook power. Many microwave
cookbook recipes tell you by number, percent, or
name which cook power to use.
NOTE: Once cook time has been entered you can also use the COOK POWER pad as a second Minute
Timer by entering “0” for the cook power. The oven will count down the cooking time you set without
cooking.
