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.

INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS
Before you begin operating the oven, carefully read the following instructions.
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 a designated 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 26 Ibs (12 kg). The
microwave oven should be at a temperature above
50°F (10°C) for proper operation.
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 sensi-
tive thermal safety device automatically turns the
oven off. The oven should work properly once it
has cooled.
Fire Hazard
Do not install oven next to or over a heat
source without a UL approved (CSA approved
in Canada) trim kit.
Doing so can result in death, fire, or
electrical shock.

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 plug
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.
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 circuit conductors and connected to the
equipment grounding terminal or lead on the
microwave oven.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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, radio 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.
Your oven has a MAXWAVE TM multiple microwave
distribution system. Microwave energy is released
from two locations, giving you better, more even
cooking.
Oven cavity Magnetron
Glass turntable Metal floor
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.
Microwaves pass through most glass, paper, and
plastics without heating them so food absorbs the
energy. Microwaves bounce off metal containers so
food does not absorb the energy.
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.
• Moving the receiver away from the microwave oven.
• Plugging the microwave oven into a different outlet
so that the microwave oven and receiver are on
different branch circuits.
• Always cook food for the shortest cooking time
recommended. Check to see how the food is
cooking. If needed, touch JET STARTTM Feature pad
while the oven is operating or after the cooking
cycle is over (see the "Using JET STARTTM Feature"
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.
Test dinnerware or cookware before using.
To test a dish for safe use, put it into the oven
with 1 cup (250 mL) 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, 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).

iiil;iilli!ii:5¸
• Never lean on the door or allow a child to swing on
it when the door is open.
• Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing
containers from oven.
• Do not use newspaper or other printed paper in the
oven.
• Do not dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, paper,
gourds, or clothes in the oven.
• 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. It is normal for the oven door to look wavy
after the oven has been running for a while.
• 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.
The turntable can rotate in either direction. Make
sure the turntable is correct-side up in the oven.
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 _0 in. (5 mm) above the
turntable. Follow the directions supplied with the
browning dish.
• Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to
burst and damage the oven. Cover poached eggs
and allow a standing time.
• Heated liquids can splash out during and after
heating. Use of a wooden stir stick placed in the
cup or bowl during heating may help to avoid
this.
• 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 dur-
ing the cooking time.
• Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable
utensils are not suitable and it is difficult to
maintain appropriate deep-frying temperatures.
• Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the
recommended cooking time, potatoes should be
slightly firm because they will continue cooking
during standing time. After microwaving, let
potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish
cooking while standing.
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.

You are probably used to food weights as being in
pounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound
(for example, 4 ounces equals ¼pound [113.4 g]).
If the weight on the food package is in fractions of a
pound, you can use the following chart to convert the
weight to decimals.

• Before starting, make sure you have removed any of
the metal twist-ties which often come with frozen food
bags, and replace them with strings or elastic bands.
• Open containers such as cartons before they are
placed in the oven.
• Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging.
• If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place it in a
suitable container.
• Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as sausage.
• Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even
defrosting.
• Always underestimate defrosting time. If defrosted
food is still icy in the center, return it to the
microwave oven for more defrosting.
• The length of defrosting time varies according to
how solidly the food is frozen.
• The shape of the package affects how quickly food
will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more
quickly than a deep block.
• As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces.
Separated pieces defrost more evenly.
• Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of
food such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails, or
areas that start to get warm. Make sure the foil does
not touch the sides, top, or bottom of the oven. The
foil can damage the oven lining.
• For better results, let food stand after defrosting.
(For more information on standing time, see "Micro-
wave cooking tips" in the "Cooking Guide" section.)
• Turn food over during defrosting or standing time.
Break apart and remove food as required.
NOTE: If you touch an EZ-CHOICE TM feature pad more
than the times shown, the display returns to the first

COOKINGGUIDE
• If you increase or decrease the amount of food you
prepare, the time it takes to cook that food will also
change. For example, if you double a recipe, add a
little more than half the original cooking time. Check
for doneness and, if necessary, add more time in
small increments.
• Several foods (for example: baked potatoes,
sausages, egg yolks, and some fruits) are tightly
covered by a skin or membrane. Steam can build
up under the membrane during cooking, causing
the food to burst. To relieve the pressure and to
prevent bursting, pierce these foods before
cooking with a fork, cocktail pick, or toothpick.
• The lower the temperature of the food being put into
the microwave oven, the longer it takes to cook.
Food at room temperature will be reheated more
quickly than food at refrigerator temperature.
• Food with a lot of fat and sugar will be heated faster
than food containing a lot of water. Fat and sugar
will also reach a higher temperature than water in
the cooking process.
• The denser the food, the longer it takes to heat. "Very
dense" food such as meat takes longer to reheat than
lighter, more porous food such as sponge cakes.
• Smaller pieces of food will cook faster than larger
pieces. Also, same-shaped pieces cook more evenly
than different-shaped pieces.
• With foods that have different thicknesses, the
thinner parts will cook faster than the thicker parts.
Place the thinner parts of chicken wings and legs in
the center of the dish.
• Stirring and turning foods spreads heat quickly to
the center of the dish and avoids overcooking at the
outer edges of the food.
Cover food to:
• Reduce splattering
• Shorten cooking times
• Keep food moist
You can use any covering that lets microwaves pass
through. See "Getting to Know Your Microwave Oven"
for materials that microwaves will pass through. If you
are using the Sensor function, be sure to vent.
• Always allow food to stand after cooking. Standing
time after defrosting and cooking allows the
temperature to evenly spread throughout the food,
improving the cooking results.
• The length of the standing time depends on how
much food you are cooking and how dense it is.
Sometimes it can be as short as the time it takes
you to remove the food from the oven and take it to
the serving table. However, with larger, denser food,
the standing time may be as long as 10 minutes.
For best results, place food evenly on the plate. You
can do this in several ways:
• If you are cooking several items of the same food,
such as baked potatoes, place them in a ring
pattern for uniform cooking.
• When cooking foods of uneven shapes or thickness,
such as chicken breasts, place the smaller or
thinner area of the food toward the center of the
dish where it will be heated last.
• Layer thin slices of meat on top of each other.
• When you cook or reheat whole fish, score the skin
- this prevents cracking.
• Do not let food or a container touch the top or sides
of the oven. This will prevent possible arcing.

Metal containers should not be used in a microwave
oven. There are, however, some exceptions. If you
have purchased food which is prepackaged in an
aluminum foil container, refer to the instructions on
the package. When using aluminum foil containers,
cooking times may be longer because microwaves
will penetrate only the top of the food.
If you use aluminum containers without package
instructions, follow these guidelines:
• Place the container in a glass bowl and add some
water so that it covers the bottom of the container,
not more than ¼in. (.64 cm) high. This ensures even
heating of the container bottom.
• Always remove the lid to avoid damage to the oven.
• Use only undamaged containers.
• Do not use containers taller than %in. (1.9 cm).
• Container must be at least half filled.
• To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum ¼in.
(.64 cm) between the aluminum container and the
walls of the oven and also between two aluminum
containers.
• Always place the container on the turntable.
• Reheating food in aluminum foil containers usually
takes up to double the time compared to reheating
in plastic, glass, china, or paper containers. The
time when food is ready will vary depending upon
the type of container you use.
• Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after heating so
that heat is spread evenly throughout container.
• Do not do canning of foods in the oven. Closed
glass jars may explode, resulting in damage to the
OVER.
• Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize objects
(baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at
the high temperature needed for sterilization.
MICROWAVEOVEN&RE
To make sure your microwave oven looks good
and works well for a long time, you should
maintain it properly. For proper care, please follow
these instructions carefully.
For interior surfaces: Wash often with warm, sudsy
water and a sponge or soft cloth. Use only mild, non-
abrasive soaps or a mild detergent. Be sure to keep
the areas clean where the door and oven frame touch
when closed. Wipe well with clean water. Over time,
stains can occur on the surfaces as the result of food
particles spattering during cooking. This is normal.
For stubborn soil, boil a cup (250 mL) of water in the
oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften the soil. To
get rid of odors inside the oven, boil a cup (250 mL)
of water with lemon juice or vinegar.
For exterior surfaces and control panel: Use a
soft cloth with spray glass cleaner. Apply the spray
glass cleaner to the soft cloth; do not spray directly
on the oven.
NOTE: Abrasive cleansers, steel-wool pads,
gritty wash cloths, some paper towels, etc., can dam-
age the control panel and the interior and exterior
oven surfaces.
To clean turntable and turntable support, wash in
mild, sudsy water; for heavily soiled areas use a mild
cleanser and scouring sponge. The turntable and
turntable support are dishwasher-safe.
