Microwave Oven Safety  
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
For all cord connected appliances:  
completely understood, or if doubt exists  
as to whether the microwave oven is  
properly grounded.  
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 ground-  
ing wire with a grounding plug. The plug  
must be plugged into an outlet that is  
properly installed and 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:  
This appliance 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 equip-  
ment grounding terminal or lead on the  
appliance.  
WARNING: Improper use of the  
grounding can result in a risk of  
electric shock.

Getting to Know 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.  
How your microwave Radio interference  
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.  
oven works  
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, radio  
waves or light waves. You cannot see them,  
but you can see what they do.  
Moving the receiver away from the  
microwave oven.  
A magnetron in the microwave oven  
produces microwaves. The microwaves  
move into the oven where they contact  
food as it turns on the turntable.  
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.  
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  
EASY MINUTE while the oven is operating  
or after the cooking cycle is over (see the  
“Using EASY MINUTE” section).  
Magnetron  
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.  
NOTE: Some cycles may have to be reset  
if you have interrupted the cycle.  
Oven cavity  
Glass turntable  
If you do not have a cover for a dish,  
use wax paper, or microwave-approved  
paper towels or plastic wrap. Turn back a  
corner of the plastic wrap to vent steam  
during cooking.  
Metal floor  
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.  
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.  
Testing your  
microwave oven  
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. Cook  
at 100% power for 2 minutes. When the  
time is up, the water should be heated.

Getting to Know Your Microwave Oven  
For best results, stir any liquid several  
times during heating or reheating.  
Testing your dinnerware  
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.  
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.  
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).  
Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable  
cookware is not suitable and it is difficult to  
maintain appropriate deep frying  
Operating safety  
precautions  
temperatures.  
Do not overcook potatoes. Fire could  
result. At the end of the recommended  
cooking time, potatoes should be slightly  
firm because they will continue cooking  
during standing time. After microwaving,  
wrap potatoes in foil and set aside for 5  
minutes. They will finish cooking while  
standing.  
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.  
Make sure support base is all the way on  
the shaft in oven cavity floor. Handle your  
turntable with care when removing it from  
the oven to avoid possibly breaking it. If  
your turntable cracks or breaks, contact  
your appliance dealer for a replacement.  
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 heat from the food can  
make the container hot.  
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.  
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.  
When you use a browning dish, the  
browning dish bottom must be at least 3⁄  
16  
Electrical  
inch above the turntable. Follow the  
connection  
directions supplied with the browning dish.  
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.  
Your microwave is connected to a 110-volt  
side of the 240-volt circuit required for the  
lower oven. If the incoming voltage to the  
microwave is less than 110 volts, cooking  
times may be longer. Have a qualified  
electrician check your electrical system.

Microwave Cooking  
Cooking at different cook powers  
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 different  
percentage of cook power. Many microwave  
cookbook recipes tell you by number,  
percent, or name which cook power to use.  
The following chart gives the percentage of  
cook power each Number pad stands for,  
and the cook power name usually used. It  
also tells you when to use each cook power.  
Follow recipe or food package instructions if  
available.

Weight conversion chart  
You are probably used to food weights as being in pounds and ounces that are fractions of  
a pound (for example, 4 ounces equals 1⁄  
4
pound). However, in order to enter food weight in  
CUSTOM DEFROST, you must specify pounds and tenths of a pound. 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.

If the food is kept outside the freezer for  
more than 20 minutes, and for defrosting  
ready-made food, defrost by time and  
power and let stand after defrosting.  
The shape of the package affects how  
quickly food will defrost. Shallow packages  
will defrost more quickly than a deep  
block.  
Defrosting tips  
When using CUSTOM DEFROST, the  
weight to be entered is the net weight in  
pounds, and tenths of pounds (the weight  
of the food minus the container).  
CUSTOM DEFROST gives best results  
when food to be thawed is a minimum of  
0°F or colder.  
As food begins to defrost, separate the  
pieces. Separated pieces defrost more  
evenly.

Microwave Cooking  
Use small pieces of aluminum foil to  
shield parts of food such as chicken wings,

warm. Make sure the foil does not touch  
the sides, top, or bottom of the oven. The  
foil can damage the oven lining.

Popping popcorn  
POPCORN lets you pop commercially  
packaged microwave popcorn by touching  
just one pad. Pop only one package at a  
time. Try several brands to decide which  
gives best popping results. For best results,  
use fresh bags of popcorn. Cooking perfor-  
mance may vary with brand and fat content.  
If you are using a microwave popcorn pop-  
per, follow manufacturer’s instructions.

Cooking Guide  
Cooking tips  
Amount of food  
Covering food  
Cover food to:  
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 neces-  
sary, add more time in small increments.  
Reduce splattering  
Shorten cooking times  
Retain food moisture  
All coverings that allow microwaves to  
pass through are suitable.  
Releasing pressure in foods  
Starting temperature of food  
Several foods (for example: baked  
potatoes, sausages, egg yolks, and some  
fruits) are tightly covered by a skin or  
membrane. This can cause the food to  
burst from steam building up in them  
during cooking. 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 refrigerated temperature.  
Composition of food  
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 more dense the food, the longer it  
takes to heat. “Very dense” food like meat  
takes longer to reheat than lighter, more  
porous food like sponge cakes.  
Using standing time  
Always allow food to stand for a while  
after cooking. Standing time after  
defrosting, cooking, or reheating always  
improves the results since the temperature  
will then be evenly distributed throughout  
the food.  
The length of the standing time depends  
on the volume and density of the food.  
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.  
Size and shape  
Smaller pieces of food will cook faster  
than larger pieces and same-shaped  
pieces of food cook more evenly than  
irregularly shaped foods.  
With unevenly shaped foods, the thinner  
parts will cook faster than the thicker  
areas. Place the thinner parts of chicken  
wings and legs in the center of the dish.  
Stirring, turning foods  
Stirring and turning foods distributes  
heat quickly to the center of the dish and  
avoids overcooking at the outer edges of  
the food.

Cooking Guide  
Arranging food  
For best results, distribute food evenly on  
the plate. You can do this in several ways:  
If you use aluminum containers without  
package instructions, follow these guidelines:  
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 towards the center of the dish where  
it will be heated last.  
Place container in a glass bowl and add  
some water so that it covers the bottom  
of the container, not more than 1⁄  
inch  
4
(6 mm) 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 3⁄  
inch  
4
Layer thin slices of meat on top of  
each other.  
(19 mm).  
Container must be half filled.  
When you cook or reheat whole fish,  
score the skin – this prevents cracking.  
Shield the tail and head of whole fish with  
small pieces of foil to prevent overcooking  
but ensure the foil does not touch the  
sides of the oven.  
To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum  
1
4
inch (6 mm) between the aluminum  
container and the walls of the oven and  
also between two aluminum containers.  
Always place container on 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 let food or a container touch the  
top or sides of the oven. This will prevent  
possible arcing.  
Using aluminum foil containers  
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, then refer to the instructions on  
the package. When using aluminum foil  
containers, cooking times may be longer  
because microwaves will only penetrate  
the top of the food.  
Cooking you should not do in  
your microwave oven  
Do not do canning of foods in the oven.  
Closed glass jars may explode, resulting  
in damage to the oven or possible  
personal injury.  
Do not use the microwave oven to  
sterilize objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is  
difficult to maintain the high temperature  
required for safe sterilization.

Caring for Your Microwave  
Oven  
Your microwave oven has a stainless  
steel interior. Unlike painted steel interiors  
found in most other microwave ovens, the  
surface will not chip, rust or corrode. Over  
time, stains can occur on the stainless steel  
surface as the result of food particles  
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 cleaners, steel-wool  
pads, gritty wash cloths, some paper  
towels, etc., can damage the control panel  
and the interior and exterior oven surfaces.  
splattering during cooking. This is normal.  
Do not use metal scouring pads, steel  
wool or soap-filled scouring pads on the  
inside oven cavity. They will scratch the  
surface.  
Rub in the direction of the grain line to  
avoid marring the surface.  
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.  
Always wipe dry to avoid water marks.  
If commercial cleaners are used, follow  
You can remove the glass turntable to clean  
the oven cavity floor; however, this oven is  
designed to operate with the turntable in  
place. Do not operate the microwave oven  
when the turntable is removed for cleaning.  
See the “how your microwave oven works”  
section for more information about the  
turntable.  
label directions. If product contains  
chlorine (bleach), wipe thoroughly with  
clean water and dry with a soft, lint-free  
cloth. Chlorine is a corrosive substance.  
For interior surfaces: Wash often with  
warm, sudsy water and a sponge or soft  
cloth. Use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or a  
mild detergent. Be sure to keep the areas  
clean where door and oven frame touch  
when closed. Wipe well with clean water.  
For stubborn soil, boil a cup 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 of water with lemon juice or vinegar.

Questions and Answers  
ANSWERS  
QUESTIONS  
No. If you remove or turn over the turntable,  
you will get poor cooking results. Dishes used  
in your oven must fit on the turntable.  
Can I operate my microwave oven without  
the turntable or turn the turntable over to  
accommodate a large dish?  
You can use a rack only if rack is supplied with  
your microwave oven. Use of any rack not  
supplied with the microwave oven can result in  
poor cooking performance and/or arcing.  
Can I use a rack in my microwave oven so  
that I may reheat or cook on two levels at  
a time?  
Usable metal includes aluminum foil for  
shielding (use small, flat pieces), small

4
inch [19 mm] deep and half filled with food  
to absorb microwave energy). Never allow  
metal to touch walls or door. (For more  
information, see “Using aluminum foil” in the  
“Cooking Guide” section.)  
Is it normal for the turntable to turn in  
either direction?  
Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or  
counterclockwise, depending on the rotation  
of the motor when the cooking cycle begins.  
Sometimes the door of my microwave oven This appearance is normal and does not

affect the operation of your oven.  
What are the humming noises that I hear  
when my microwave oven is operating?  
You hear the sound of the transformer when  
the magnetron tube cycles on.  
Why does the dish become hot when I  
microwave food in it? I thought that this  
should not happen.  
As the food becomes hot it will conduct the  
heat to the dish. Be prepared to use hot pads  
to remove food after cooking.  
“Standing time” means that food should be  
removed from the oven and covered for  
additional time to allow it to finish cooking.  
This frees the oven for other cooking.  
What does “standing time” mean?  
Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn  
following manufacturer’s guidelines or use  
the preprogrammed Popcorn pad. Do not  
use regular paper bags. Use the “listening  
test” by stopping the oven as soon as the  
popping slows to a “pop” every one or two  
seconds. Do not repop unpopped kernels.  
Do not pop popcorn in glass utensils.  
Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven?  
How do I get the best results?  
Why does steam come out of the air  
exhaust vent?  
Steam is normally produced during cooking.  
The microwave oven has been designed to  
vent this steam out the top vents.

Roasting tips  
Before turning oven on, position oven  
rack(s) in desired location.  
Spatter can be reduced by lining the bot-  
tom of the roasting pan with lightly crushed  
aluminum foil.  
Be sure the rack(s) is level.  
Use pot holders or oven mitts to  
protect hands if rack(s) must be moved  
while oven is hot.  
Use an accurate meat thermometer to  
determine when meat has reached desired  
degree of doneness. Insert the thermome-  
ter into the center of the thickest portion of  
the meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry.  
For an accurate reading, the tip of the  
thermometer should not touch fat, bone, or  
gristle.  
Do not let pot holder or oven mitt touch  
oven bottom.

Check pork and poultry with a thermom-  
eter in 2 to 3 places to ensure adequate  
doneness.  
Poultry and roasts will be easier to  
carve if loosely covered with foil and  
allowed to stand 10 to 15 minutes after re-  
moval from the oven.

If food is cooking too fast or you want  
the food to broil slower from the start, set  
the broil temperature between 170°F and  
325°F. The lower temperature will slow the  
cooking.  
Thicker and unevenly shaped cuts of  
fish, chicken and other meats may cook  
better if you use lower broiling tempera-  
tures when cooking to well-done.

Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle.  
Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven.  
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns, or  
illness from inhaling dangerous fumes.  
Before you start  
Remove the broiler pan and grid and any  
cookware/bakeware being stored in the  
oven.  
DO NOT  
Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will  
help reduce smoke during the Self-  
Cleaning cycle.  
Wipe up food spills containing sugar as  
soon as possible after the oven cools  
down. When sugar is heated to a high  
temperature in the Self-Cleaning cycle, the  
high temperature can cause the sugar to  
burn and react with the porcelain. This can  
cause staining and etching or pitting.

Remove the oven racks from the oven if  
you want them to remain shiny. You can  
clean the oven racks in the Self-Cleaning

(See the “Cleaning chart” in the “Caring for  
Your Range” section, p. 36.) If you clean  
the racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, place  
them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (The  
guides are counted from bottom to top.)  
NOTE: Heat and odors are normal during  
the Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen  
well ventilated by opening a window or by  
turning on a vent hood or other kitchen  
vent during the cycle.  
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is  
extremely sensitive to the fumes given off  
during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Move birds  
to another closed and well ventilated room.  
Before you start the Self-Cleaning  
cycle, make sure you:  
Hand-clean the areas shown. They do not  
get hot enough during the Self-Cleaning  
cycle for soil to burn away. Use hot water  
and detergent or a soapy, steel-wool pad  
for cleaning.  
TIPS:  
Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the  
Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat,  
odors, and smoke.  
Clean the oven before it gets heavily  
soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven takes  
longer and results in more smoke than  
usual.  
NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend the  
gasket. You may get poor cleaning, baking,  
and roasting.  
Do not let water, cleaner, etc., enter slots  
on door and frame.
