GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
For all cord connected appliances:  
8. Control Panel and Display  
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.  
Microwave System/Optimawave™  
Technology  
The microwave system featuring Optimawave™ Technology  
delivers a constant stream of microwave power – true high,  
medium and low power – to provide consistent, even results.  
Typically, microwave ovens operate on HIGH power only. For  
example, to achieve a 50% power level (“medium”) in a typical  
microwave oven, the oven operates 50% of the time at HIGH  
power and 50% of the time OFF.  
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:  
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 equipment  
grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.  
In contrast, microwave ovens utilizing this microwave system  
deliver the selected power level continuously. This constant  
stream of microwave power helps to minimize overcooking of  
foods and messy food spatters.  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
This device complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules.

Sensor Cooking  
Cooking Rack  
The cooking rack is ideal for two-level cooking. It provides extra  
cavity space for cooking 2 or more containers at the same time.  
Insert the rack securely into the rack supports on the side walls of  
the oven. See “Assistance or Service” section to reorder rack.  
The microwave system features sensor cooking functions. A  
humidity sensor in the oven cavity detects moisture and humidity  
emitted from food as it heats. The sensor adjusts cooking times  
to various types and amounts of food. Sensor cooking takes the  
guesswork out of microwave cooking.  
Oven Cavity Coating  
The oven has a durable, nonstick coating which resists soil  
buildup by making cleaning easier than in conventional  
microwave ovens. For cleaning information, see “General  
Cleaning” in the “Oven Care” section.  
Rack will become hot. Always use oven mitts or pot holders  
when handling.  
Turntable  
Do not allow the rack to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling  
or floor.

1. Remove tape from the hub.  
2. Place the support on the oven cavity bottom.  
3. Place the turntable on the support.  
Fit the raised, curved lines in the center of the turntable  
bottom between the three spokes of the hub. The rollers on  
the support should fit inside the turntable bottom ridge.  
The Browning Pan, with a nonstick surface and detachable  
handle, has been specially designed for microwave use, and is  
ideal for pan-frying (pan-browning) foods in the microwave oven.  
Turning Off the Turntable  
The turntable can be turned off (except during an auto function).  
This is helpful when cooking with plates that are larger than the  
turntable or when cooking with two 10¼ in. (26 cm) plates that  
are side by side.  
See “Browning Pan Use” section for more information.  
Use the handle to grasp the pan. Place gripping end on the edge  
of pan, squeeze handle and lift pan.

MICROWAVE OVEN USE  
A magnetron in the oven produces microwaves which reflect off  
the metal floor, walls and ceiling and pass through the turntable  
and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are attracted  
to and absorbed by fat, sugar and water molecules in the food,  
causing them to move, producing friction and heat which cooks  
the food.  
Cooking Guidelines  
Covering  
Covering food helps retain moisture, shorten cook time and  
reduce spattering. Use the lid supplied with cookware. If a lid is  
not available, wax paper, paper towels or plastic wrap approved  
for microwave ovens may be used. Plastic wrap should be turned  
back at one corner to provide an opening to vent steam.  
Never lean on or allow children to swing on the oven door.  
Do not operate microwave oven when it is empty.  
The turntable must be in place and correct side up when  
oven is in use. Do not use if turntable is chipped or broken.  
See “Assistance or Service” section to reorder.  
Stirring and Turning  
Stirring and turning redistributes heat evenly to avoid  
overcooking the outer edges of food. Stir from outside to center.  
If possible, turn food over from bottom to top.  
Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in the  
oven.  
Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including  
brown paper bags and newspaper should not be dried in the  
oven.  
Arranging  
If heating irregularly shaped or different sized foods, the thinner  
parts and smaller sizes should be arranged toward the center. If  
cooking several items of the same size and shape, place them in  
a ring pattern, leaving the center of the ring empty.  
Do not use the microwave oven for canning, sterilizing or  
deep frying. The oven cannot maintain appropriate  
temperatures.  
Paraffin wax will not melt in the oven because it does not  
absorb microwaves.  
Piercing  
Before heating, use a fork or small knife to pierce or prick foods  
that have a skin or membrane, such as potatoes, egg yolks,  
chicken livers, hot dogs, and sausage. Prick in several places to  
allow steam to vent.  
Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from  
oven.  
Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended  
cook time, potatoes should be slightly firm. Let potatoes  
stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.  
Shielding  
Use small, flat pieces of aluminum foil to shield the thin pieces of  
irregularly shaped foods, bones and foods such as chicken  
wings, leg tips and fish tail. See “Aluminum Foil and Metal” first.  
Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam  
buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst. Cover  
poached eggs and allow a standing time.  
Standing Time  
Food will continue to cook by the natural conduction of heat even  
after the microwave cycle ends. The length of standing time  
depends on the volume and density of the food.  
Food Characteristics  
When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting  
temperature, composition and density of the food affect cooking  
results.  
Amount of Food  
The more food heated at once, the longer the cook time. Check  
for doneness and add small increments of time if necessary.  
Size and Shape  
Smaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger pieces,  
and uniformly shaped foods cook more evenly than irregularly  
shaped food.  
Starting Temperature  
Room temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated foods,  
and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods.  
Composition and Density  
Foods high in fat and sugar will reach a higher temperature and  
heat faster than other foods. Heavy, dense foods, such as meat  
and potatoes, require a longer cook time than the same size of a  
light, porous food, such as cake.

Do Not Use  
Cookware and Dinnerware  
Cookware and dinnerware must fit on the turntable. Always use  
oven mitts or pot holders when handling because any dish may  
become hot from heat transferred from the food. Do not use  
cookware and dinnerware with gold or silver trim. Use the  
following chart as a guide, then test before using.  
Metal cookware and bakeware, gold, silver, pewter, non-  
approved meat thermometers, skewers, twist ties, foil liners such  
as sandwich wrappers, staples and objects with gold or silver  
trim or a metallic glaze should not be used in the oven.
