food and utensils you place inside it.
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.
■
The microwave oven should be at a temperature above 50°F
(10°C) for proper operation.
NOTE: Some models can be built into a wall or cabinet by using
one of the trim kits listed in the “Assistance or Service” section.
■
Do not block the exhaust vents or air intake openings. Allow
a few inches of space at the back and side of the microwave
oven where the exhaust vents are located. Blocking the
exhaust vents could cause damage to the microwave oven,
as well as poor cooking results.
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.
■
Make sure the microwave oven legs are in place to ensure
proper airflow. If vents are blocked, a sensitive thermal device
may automatically turn the microwave oven off. The
microwave oven should work properly once it has cooled.
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. A short power supply
cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

MICROWAVE OVEN USE
A magnetron in the microwave 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.
Food Characteristics
When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting
temperature, composition and density of the food affect cooking
results.
■
■
■
■
To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not lean on or
allow children to swing on the microwave oven door.
Amount of Food
The more food heated at once, the longer the cook time needed.
Check for doneness and add small increments of time if
necessary.
To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not operate
microwave oven when it is empty.
Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in
microwave oven.
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.
Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including
brown paper bags and newspaper, should not be dried in
microwave oven.
Starting Temperature
Room temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated foods,
and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods.
■
■
■
Paraffin wax will not melt in the microwave oven because it
does not absorb microwaves.
Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from
microwave oven.
Composition and Density
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.
Foods high in fat and sugar will reach a higher temperature, and
will 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 cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam
buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst, requiring
significant cleanup of microwave oven cavity. Cover poached
eggs and allow a standing time.

Follow manufacturer’s recommendations.
Silicone
Bakeware
Straw, Wicker,
Wooden
Containers
Do not use in microwave oven.
Stirring and Turning
Stirring and turning redistribute heat evenly to avoid overcooking
the outer edges of food. Stir from outside to center. If possible,
turn food over from bottom to top.
Wax Paper
Acceptable for use.
To Test Cookware or Dinnerware for Microwave Use:
1. Place cookware or dinnerware in microwave oven with
1 cup (250 mL) of water beside it.
Arranging
If heating irregularly shaped or different sized foods, arrange the
thinner parts and smaller sized items 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.
2. Cook at 100% cooking power for 1 minute.
Do not use cookware or dinnerware if it becomes hot and the
water stays cool.
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.
Aluminum Foil and Metal
Always use oven mitts or pot holders when removing dishes from
the microwave oven.
Aluminum foil and some metal can be used in the microwave
oven. If not used properly, arcing (a blue flash of light) can occur
and cause damage to the microwave oven.
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.
OK for Use
Racks and bakeware supplied with the microwave oven (on some
models), aluminum foil for shielding, and approved meat
thermometers may be used with the following guidelines:
Standing Time
Food will continue to cook by the natural conduction of heat even
after the microwave cooking cycle ends. The length of standing
time depends on the volume and density of the food.
■
To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow
aluminum foil or metal to touch the inside cavity walls,
ceiling or floor.
Cookware and Dinnerware
■
■
Always use the turntable.
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.
To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow
contact with another metal object during microwave cooking.

■
Do not use light plastic containers, plastic wrap or paper
products. All ovenproof cookware or metal utensils can be
used with the Convection Bake function. (Round pizza pans
are excellent cooking utensils for many convection-only
items.) Metal utensils cannot be used with the Convection
Roast function.
Grill
The Grill function uses a calrod thermal element that heats
quickly to grill a variety of foods.
■
Use the grill rack to place food closer to the grill element for
faster grilling.
■
No special techniques are needed to adapt standard oven
recipes to convection cooking, although some temperatures
might need to be reduced, and some cooking times might
need to be shortened.
■
Oven cavity and door will become very hot during grill
element use. The use of oven mitts is recommended.
■
■
Use an ovenproof pan to catch drippings.
The grill rack and pan will become very hot. Use oven mitts to
grasp pan for removal. To avoid damage, do not place hot
pan directly on heat-sensitive surfaces.
Convection Temperature Indicator
The ten bars in the bottom of the display represent the
microwave oven’s current and approaching temperature. Each
bar corresponds to the temperature represented on each of the
number pads, 1 through 0 (10).
■
■
The turntable must be in place when using the grill rack.
For best results, apply light amount of cooking oil to grill rack.
The bar corresponding to the desired set temperature will flash.
As the microwave oven heats, each bar will light as its
corresponding temperature is reached. When the desired
temperature is reached, the flashing bar will become solid. If the
temperature of the microwave oven drops below the set
temperature, the bar will flash until the microwave oven heats to
the set temperature again.
Examples of Grill Times
Toast
5-5¹⁄₂ min
Sirloin steak, 1 lb (454 g), 3/4" (1.9 cm)
thick, medium doneness
Side 1: 15 min
Side 2: 10 min
For example, if the desired temperature is set at 375º (number
pad 8), the eighth bar will flash. When the microwave oven
reaches 100º, the first bar will light. When the microwave oven
reaches 170º, the second bar will light, and so on, until the
desired temperature is reached, and the eighth bar stops flashing
and becomes solid.
To Use:
1. Place grill rack securely on pan, and place both on the
turntable. Then position food on rack, and close the door.
2. Touch GRILL.
“00:00” will appear in the display. Enter the length of time to
grill in minutes and seconds.
3. Touch START.
Convection Roast
Grill time will count down in the display.
The Convection Roast function shortens the cooking time for
foods that normally require long periods of time to cook. It
alternates between convection heat and microwave energy.
Combination cooking also leaves meats juicy on the inside, and
crispy on the outside.
About halfway through the cycle, a tone will sound. This is a
reminder to turn the food, if desired.
When the cycle ends, “End” will appear in the display, and the
end-of-cycle tones will sound.
■
The microwave oven cavity and door will become hot during
the Convection Roast cycle. The use of oven mitts is
recommended.
4. Touch STOP CANCEL or open the door to clear the display.
■
To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not use metal
cookware or utensils during the Convection Roast cycle. Use
only ovenproof, microwave-safe cookware.
Convection
The convection system circulates hot air through the microwave
oven cavity with a fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the
food to heat the outer portion quickly.
■
■
■
Meats may be roasted directly on the convection rack. Use
an ovenproof, microwave-safe pan to catch the drippings.
Convection Bake uses the convection system only.
Convection Roast uses the convection system in conjunction
with microwaves to cook more quickly.
Less tender cuts of beef can be roasted and tenderized using
oven cooking bags.
■
The microwave oven cavity and door will become hot during
the convection cycle. The use of oven mitts is recommended.
Check for doneness after cooking time has ended. If not
completely done, let stand in microwave oven for a few
minutes to complete cooking.
■
■
Use the provided convection (short) rack.
Do not cover turntable or convection rack with aluminum foil,
as it interferes with the circulation of hot air.
