FOODS  
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 ovens.  
Operating the microwave  
with no food inside for more  
than a minute or two may  
cause damage to the oven  
and could start a fire. It  
increases the heat around

the microwave oven could  
result in injury.  
Foods with unbroken outer  
“skin” such as potatoes, hot  
dogs, sausages, tomatoes,  
apples, chicken livers and  
other giblets, and egg yolks  
should be pierced to allow

in the oven for 30 to 40  
seconds after the oven has  
shut off. Do not boil liquids  
in narrow-necked containers  
such as soft drink bottles,  
wine flasks and especially  
narrow-necked coffee cups.  
Even if the container is  
opened, excessive steam  
can build up and cause it  
to burst or overflow.  
To prevent this from happening  
and causing injury, do not heat  
any liquid for more than 2  
minutes per cup. After heating,  
let the cup stand in the  
microwave for 30 seconds  
before moving it or putting  
anything into it.

Hot foods and steam can  
cause burns. Be careful when  
opening any containers of  
hot food, including popcorn  
bags, cooking pouches and  
boxes. To prevent possible  
injury, direct steam away

MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE  
Make sure all cookware used in  
your microwave oven is suitable  
for microwaving. Most glass  
casseroles, cooking dishes,  
measuring cups, custard cups,  
pottery or china dinnerware  
which does not have metallic  
trim or glaze with a metallic  
sheen can be used. Some  
cookware is labeled “suitable  
for microwaving.”  
Do not use recycled paper  
products. Recycled paper  
towels, napkins and waxed  
paper can contain metal  
flecks which may cause arcing  
or ignite. Paper products  
containing nylon or nylon  
filaments should be avoided,  
as they may also ignite.  
Some styrofoam trays (like  
those that meat is packaged  
on) have a thin strip of metal  
embedded in the bottom.  
When microwaved, the metal  
can burn the floor of the oven  
or ignite a paper towel.  
OpeagIructions  
If you are not sure if a dish is  
microwave-safe, use this test:  
Place in the oven both the  
dish you are testing and a  
glass measuring cup filled  
with 1 cup of water—set the  
measuring cup either in or  
next to the dish. Microwave  
1 minute at high. If the dish  
heats, it should not be used  
for microwaving.  
ips  
Do not use the microwave to  
dry newspapers.  
Not all plastic wrap is suitable  
for use in microwave ovens.  
Check the package for  
proper use.  
rubleshotingT  
If the dish remains cool and  
only the water in the cup  
heats, then the dish is  
microwave-safe.  
T
Paper towels, waxed paper  
and plastic wrap can be used  
to cover dishes in order to  
retain moisture and prevent  
spattering. Be sure to vent  
plastic wrap so steam can  
escape.  
If you use a meat  
thermometer while cooking,  
make sure it is safe for use  
in microwave ovens.  
Cookware may become hot  
because of heat transferred  
from the heated food. Pot  
holders may be needed to  
handle the cookware.

SyeIfrmation  
“Boilable” cooking pouches  
and tightly closed plastic bags  
should be slit, pierced or  
vented as directed by  
package. If they are not,  
plastic could burst during or  
immediately after cooking,  
possibly resulting in injury.  
Also, plastic storage  
containers should be at least  
partially uncovered because  
they form a tight seal. When  
cooking with containers  
tightly covered with plastic  
wrap, remove covering

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.  
WARNING!  
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of  
electric shock.  
SeyIfrmation  
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
This appliance 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.  
This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a grounding  
wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an  
outlet that is properly installed and grounded.  
Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the grounding  
instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to  
whether the appliance is properly grounded.  
OpeagIructions  
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal  
responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly  
grounded 3-prong wall outlet.  
ips  
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground)  
prong from the power cord.  
We do not recommend using an extension cord with this appliance.  
If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service  
technician install an outlet near the appliance. (See WARNING—  
EXTENSION CORDS section.)  
rubleshotingT  
T
For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical outlet  
to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit  
breaker.

ADAPTER PLUGS  
Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be disconnected  
infrequently.  
Because of potential safety  
hazards under certain conditions,  
we strongly recommend against the  
use of an adapter plug. However, if  
you still elect to use an adapter,  
where local codes permit, a  
(Adapter plugs not  
permitted in Canada)  
OepagIructions  
Align large  
prongs/slots  
TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be  
made to a properly grounded two-  
prong wall receptacle by the use of a  
UL listed adapter which is available  
at most local hardware stores.  
Ensure proper ground  
and firm connection  
before use.  
TEMPORARY  
METHOD  
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in  
the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of  
the power cord.  
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle  
cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is  
metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through  
the house wiring.  
T
rbuleshotingT  
You should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to  
make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.  
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold  
the adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground  
terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should this  
happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has  
again been established.  
isp  
Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be  
disconnected frequently.  
CsutomSrvice  
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because frequent  
disconnection of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter  
and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. You  
should have the two-prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-  
prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before  
using the appliance.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.  
WARNING!  
SeyIfrmation  
EXTENSION CORDS  
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting  
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.  
Extension cords may be used if you are careful in using them.  
If an extension cord is used—  
The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at  
least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;  
1
The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord and it  
2 must be plugged into a 3-slot outlet;  
The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape

Variable power levels add flexibility to microwave  
cooking. The power levels on the microwave oven can be  
compared to the surface units on a range. Each power  
level gives you microwave energy a certain percent of the  
time. Power level 7 is microwave energy 70% of the time.  
Power level 3 is energy 30% of the time. Most cooking  
will be done on High (power level 10) which gives you  
100% power. Power level 10 will cook faster but food  
may need more frequent stirring, rotating or turning  
over. A lower setting will cook more evenly and need  
less stirring or rotating of the food. Some foods may  
have better flavor, texture or appearance if one of the  
lower settings is used. Use a lower power level when  
cooking foods that have a tendency to boil over, such  
as scalloped potatoes.  
START  
OpeagIructions  
ips  
Rest periods (when the microwave energy cycles off)  
give time for the food to “equalize” or transfer heat to  
the inside of the food. An example of this is shown with  
power level 3—the defrost cycle. If microwave energy did  
not cycle off, the outside of the food would cook before  
the inside was defrosted.

Here are some examples of uses for various power levels:  
High 10: Fish, bacon, vegetables, boiling liquids.  
Med-High 7: Gentle cooking of meat and poultry; baking  
casseroles and reheating.  
Medium 5: Slow cooking and tenderizing for stews and  
less tender cuts of meat.

Defrosting Tips  
Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted in  
the package. Closed packages should be slit, pierced  
or vented AFTER food has partially defrosted. Plastic  
storage containers should be partially uncovered.  
ips  
Family-size, prepackaged frozen dinners can be  
defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil  
container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.  
Foods that spoil easily should not be allowed to  
sit out for more than one hour after defrosting.  
Room temperature promotes the growth of  
harmful bacteria.  
rubleshotingT  
T
For more even defrosting of larger foods, such as  
roasts, use Auto Defrost. Be sure large meats are  
completely defrosted before cooking.  
When defrosted, food should be cool but softened  
in all areas. If still slightly icy, return to the microwave  
very briefly, or let it stand a few minutes.

Microwave terms.  
Term  
Definition  
SeyIfrmation  
Arcing  
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is  
caused by:  
metal or foil touching the side of the oven.  
foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like  
antennas).  
metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes.  
recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.  
Covering  
Shielding  
Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce  
cooking time. Venting plastic wrap or covering with wax paper  
allows excess steam to escape.  
OpeagIructions  
In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to  
prevent over-browning. When microwaving, you use small strips  
of foil to shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs on  
poultry, which would cook before larger parts.  
ips  
Standing Time When you cook with regular ovens, foods such as roasts or cakes  
are allowed to stand to finish cooking or to set. Standing time is  
especially important in microwave cooking. Note that a  
microwaved cake is not placed on a cooling rack.  
Venting  
After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by  
turning back one corner so excess steam can escape.

Care and cleaning of the microwave oven.  
Helpful Hints  
Open the oven door a few minutes after cooking to air  
out the inside. An occasional thorough wiping with a  
solution of baking soda and water keeps the inside fresh.  
OepagIructions  
Unplug the cord before cleaning any part of this oven.  
How to Clean the Inside  
Walls, Floor, Inside Window, Metal and Plastic Parts on  
the Door  
Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel, others  
may require a damp cloth. Remove greasy spatters with a  
sudsy cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth. Do not use  
abrasive cleaners or sharp utensils on oven walls.  
To clean the surface of the door and the surface of the oven that  
come together upon closing, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or  
detergents using a sponge or soft cloth. Rinse with a damp cloth  
and dry.  
T
rbuleshotingT  
Never use a commercial oven cleaner on any part of your  
microwave.  
Removable Turntable and Turntable Support  
To prevent breakage, do not place the turntable into  
water just after cooking. Wash it carefully in warm, sudsy  
water or in the dishwasher. The turntable and support  
can be broken if dropped. Remember, do not operate  
the oven without the turntable and support in place.

How to Clean the Outside  
SeyIfrmation  
Do not use cleaners containing ammonia or alcohol on the  
microwave oven. Ammonia or alcohol can damage the  
appearance of the microwave.  
Case  
Clean the outside of the microwave with a sudsy cloth.  
Rinse and then dry. Wipe the window clean with a  
damp cloth.  
Control Panel and Door  
Wipe with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use  
cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water,  
abrasives or sharp objects on the panel—they can  
damage it. Some paper towels can also scratch the  
control panel.  
OpeagIructions
