ADDING OR SUBTRACTING  
COOK TIME  
Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your favorite  
foods without selecting cooking times and power levels.  
The oven automatically determines required cooking  
time for each food item. When the internal sensor  
detects a certain amount of humidity coming from the  
food, it will tell the oven how much longer to heat. The

SENSOR COOKING GUIDE  
Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good  
Sensor cooking results.  
1. Always use microwavable containers and cover  
them with lids or vented plastic wrap.  
2. Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can  
prevent steam from escaping and cause food to  
overcook.  
3. Match the amount to the size of the container.  
Fill containers at least half full for best results.  
4. Be sure the outside of the cooking container and the  
inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing  
food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into  
steam can mislead the sensor.

DEFROSTING TIPS  
When using AUTO DEFROST, the weight to be  
entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths of  
pounds (the weight of the food minus the container).  
Use AUTO DEFROST only for raw food. AUTO  
DEFROST gives best results when food to be  
thawed is a minimum of 0°F (taken directly from a  
true freezer). If food has been stored in a  
refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a  
temperature of 5°F or below, always program a lower  
food weight (for a shorter defrosting time)  
to prevent cooking the food.  
4. Touch START pad.  
NOTE:  
After you touch START, the display counts down the  
defrost time. The oven will beep once during the  
Defrost cycle. At this time, open the door and turn,  
separate, or rearrange the food as needed. Remove  
any portions that have thawed then return frozen  
portions to the oven and touch START to resume the  
defrost cycle.  
If the food is stored outside the freezer for up to  
20 minutes, enter a lower food weight.  
The shape of the package alters the defrosting  
time. Shallow rectangular packets defrost more  
quickly than a deep block.  
The oven will not stop during the BEEP unless  
the door is opened.  
Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated  
pieces defrost more easily.  
You can use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield  
foods like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails, but  
the foil must not touch the side of the oven. Foil  
causes arcing, which can damage the oven lining.  
Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they  
start to become warm.  
For even, complete defrosting, use the defrosting  
rack.  
For best results, elevate food to be defrosted on a  
microwave safe roasting rack. This prevents the  
possibility of warm meat juices cooking food during  
defrost.

RESULTS  
To get the best results from your microwave oven, read  
and follow the guidelines below.  
roasts, or whole cauliflower halfway through the  
cooking time to expose all sides equally to microwave  
energy.  
Place delicate areas of foods, such as asparagus  
tips, toward the center of the dish.  
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken  
pieces or salmon steaks, with the thicker, meatier  
parts toward the outside of the dish.  
Shield, with Small pieces of aluminum foil, parts of  
food that may cook quickly, such as wing tips and leg  
ends of poultry.  
Let It Stand: After you remove the food from the  
microwave, cover food with foil or casserole lid and let  
it stand to finish cooking in the center and avoid  
overcooking the outer edges. The length of standing  
time depends on the density and surface area of the  
food.  
Storage Temperature: Foods taken from the freezer  
or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same  
foods at room temperature. The time for recipes in  
this book is based on the normal storage temperature  
of the food.  
Size: Small pieces of food cook faster than large  
ones, pieces similar in size and shape cook more  
evenly. For even cooking, reduce the power when  
cooking large pieces of food.  
Natural Moisture: Very moist foods cook more  
evenly because microwave energy is attracted to  
water molecules.  
Wrapping in waxed paper or paper towel:  
Sandwiches and many other foods containing  
prebaked bread should be wrapped prior to  
microwaving to prevent drying out.  
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables from  
the outside to the center to distribute the heat evenly  
and speed cooking. Constant stirring is not  
necessary.  
Fish & Shellfish  
Cooking Fish and Shellfish: General Directions  
Prepare the fish for cooking.  
- Always set the shortest cooking time. Fish is done  
- Completely defrost the fish or shellfish.  
- Arrange unevenly shaped pieces with thicker parts  
toward the outside of the dish. Arrange shellfish in a  
single layer for even cooking.  
when it turns opaque and the thickest part begins to  
flake. Shellfish is done when the shell turns from  
pink to red and the flesh is opaque and firm.  
- The type of cover you use depends on how you  
cook. Poached fish needs a microwavable lid or  
vented plastic wrap.  
The Fish and Shellfish Cooking Table below provides  
specific directions with Power Level and Cooking  
Time settings for most types of fish and shellfish.  
- Baked fish, coated fish, or fish in sauce needs to be  
covered lightly with waxed paper to keep the coating  
crisp and sauce from getting watery.

Meat  
Cooking Appetizers: Tips and  
Techniques  
Cooking Meat: General Directions  
Prepare the meat for cooking.  
- Defrost completely.  
Recommended  
- Trim off excess fat to avoid splattering.  
- Place the meat, fat side down, on a microwavable  
rack in a microwavable dish.  
- Use oven cooking bag for less tender cuts of meat.  
- Arrange the meat so that thicker portions are toward  
the outside of the dish.  
- Cover the meat with waxed paper to prevent  
splattering.  
Tend the meat as it cooks.  
Crisp crackers, such as melba toast, shredded wheat,  
and crisp rye crackers are best for microwave use.  
Wait until party time to add the spreads. Place a  
paper towel under the crackers while they cook in the  
microwave oven to absorb extra moisture.  
Arrange individual appetizers in a circle for even  
cooking.  
Stir dips to distribute heat and shorten cooking time.  
- Drain juices as they accumulate to reduce  
splattering and keep from overcooking the bottom of  
the meat.  
- Shield thin or bony portions with strips of foil to  
prevent overcooking.  
Cooking Sauces: Tips and Techniques  
Use a microwavable casserole or glass measuring  
cup that is at least 2 or 3 times the volume of the  
sauce.  
Sauces made with cornstarch thicken more rapidly  
than those made with flour.  
NOTE: Keep the foil at least 1 inch from the oven  
walls, and do not cover more than one-third of the  
meat with foil at any one time.  
Cooking Soups: Tips and Techniques  
Cook soups in a microwavable dish which holds  
double the volume of the recipe ingredients to prevent  
boil-over, especially if you use cream or milk in the  
soup.  
Let the meat stand covered with foil 10-15 minutes  
after you remove it from the oven. The internal  
temperature of the meat may rise an additional  
5-10°F during standing time.  
Generally, cover microwaved soups with VENTED  
plastic wrap or a microwavable lid.  
Cover foods to retain moisture. Uncover foods to  
retain crispness.  
Avoid overcooking by using the minimum suggested  
time. Add more time, if necessary, only after checking  
the food.  
The Meat Cooking Table on the next page provides  
detailed directions, Power Level, and Cooking Time  
settings for most cuts of meat.  
Not Recommended  
Appetizers with a crisp coating or puff pastry are best  
done in a conventional oven with dry heat.  
Breaded products can be warmed in the microwave  
oven but will not come out crisp.  
Cook sauces made with cornstarch or flour uncovered  
so you may stir them 2 or 3 times during cooking for a  
smooth consistency.  
To adapt a conventional sauce or gravy recipe,  
reduce the amount of liquid slightly.  
Stirring occasionally will help blend flavors, distribute  
heat evenly, and may even shorten the cooking time.  
When converting a conventional soup recipe to cook  
in the microwave, reduce the liquid, salt, and strong  
seasonings.

COOKING  
Pasta And Rice  
Microwave cooking and conventional cooking of pasta,  
rice, and cereal require about the same amount of time,  
but the microwave is a more convenient method  
because you can cook and serve in the same dish.  
There is no stirring needed and leftover pasta tastes  
just like fresh cooked when reheated in the microwave  
oven.  
Cooking Pasta and Rice: Tips and Techniques  
If you are planning to use rice or pasta in a casserole,  
undercook it so it is still firm.  
Allow for standing time with rice, but not for pasta.  
The Pasta and Rice Cooking Tables below provide  
specific directions, with Power Level and Cooking

MAINTENANCE  
5. Reconnect power or plug in microwave oven.  
NOTE: Do not operate the hood without the filter in  
place.  
CARE AND CLEANING  
For best performance and safety, keep the oven clean  
inside and outside. Take special care to keep the inner  
door panel and the oven front frame free of food or  
grease build-up.  
CHARCOAL FILTER REPLACEMENT  
If your oven is vented inside, the charcoal filter should  
be replaced every 6 to 12 months, and more often if  
necessary. The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned.  
To order a new charcoal filter, contact the Parts  
Department at your nearest Authorized Service Center.  
1. Disconnect power or unplug microwave oven.  
2. Remove the two vent grille mounting screws.  
Never use rough powder or pads. Wipe the  
microwave oven inside and out, including the hood  
bottom cover, with a soft cloth and a warm (not hot)  
mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry. Use a  
chrome cleaner and polish on chrome, metal, and  
aluminum surfaces. Wipe spatters immediately with a  
wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or  
bacon. Clean your oven weekly or more often, if  
needed.  
METAL RACK  
Wash the metal rack with a mild soap and a soft or  
nylon scrub brush. Dry completely.  
Do not use abrasive scrubbers or cleaners to clean  
rack.  
3. Tip the grille forward, then lift out to remove.  
4. Remove old filter.  
CLEANING THE GREASE FILTERS  
The grease filter should be removed and cleaned  
often, at least once a month.  
1. Disconnect power or unplug microwave oven.  
2. To remove grease filter, slide filter to the side. Pull  
filter downward and push to the other side. The filter  
will drop out.  
5. Slide a new charcoal filter into place.  
The filter should rest at the angle shown.  
3. Soak grease filter in hot water and a mild detergent.  
Rinse well and shake to dry. Do not use ammonia  
or place in a dishwasher. The aluminum will  
darken.  
6. Slide the bottom of the vent grille into place.  
Push the top until it snaps into place.  
Replace the mounting screws.  
7. Reconnect power or plug in microwave oven.  
4. To reinstall the filter, slide it into the back slot, then  
push up to lock.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS  
Q. Can I use a rack in my microwave oven so that I  
may reheat or cook in two rack positions at a  
time?  
LIGHT REPLACEMENT  
1. Disconnect power or unplug microwave oven.  
A. Only use the rack that is supplied with your  
microwave oven. Use of any other rack can result in  
poor cooking performance and/or arcing and may  
damage your oven.  
Q. Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my  
microwave oven?  
A. Usable metal includes aluminum foil for shielding  
(use small, flat pieces). Never allow metal to touch  
walls or door.  
2. Remove the bulb cover mounting screws.  
3. Replace bulb with 30 or 40 watt appliance bulb.  
4. Replace bulb cover, and mounting screws.  
5. Reconnect power or plug in microwave oven.  
Q. Sometimes the door of my microwave oven  
appears wavy. Is this normal?  
A. This appearance is normal and does not affect the

2. Remove the vent grille mounting screws.  
(2 outer screws)  
Q. What are the humming noises I hear when my  
microwave oven is operating?  
A. This is the sound of the transformer when the

magnetron tube cycles on and off.  
Q. Why does the dish become hot when I  
microwave food in it?  
A. As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to  
the dish. Use hot pads to remove food after  
cooking. The dish may not be microwave safe.  
Q. What does standing time mean?  
A. Standing time means that food should be taken out  
of the oven and covered for additional time after  
cooking. This process allows the cooking to finish,  
saves energy, and frees the oven for other purposes.  
4. Push the hook.  
Q. Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven?  
How do I get the best results?  
A. Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following  
manufacturers 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 try  
to repop unpropped kernels. You can also use  
special microwave poppers. When using a popper,  
be sure to follow manufacturers directions. Do not  
pop popcorn in glass utensils.  
5. Lift up the bulb holder.  
Q. Why does steam come out of the air exhaust  
vent?  
A. Steam is normally produced during cooking. The  
microwave oven has been designed to vent this  
steam out the vent.  
6. Replace bulb with a 30 or 40 watt appliance bulb.  
7. Replace the bulb holder.  
8. Slide the bottom of the vent cover into place. Push  
the top until it snaps into place. Replace the  
mounting screws.  
9. Reconnect power or plug in microwave oven.

MICROWAVE UTENSIL GUIDE  
USE  
DO NOT USE  
OVENPROOF GLASS  
METAL UTENSILS:  
(treated for high intensity heat):  
Utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie  
plates, cake plates, liquid  
Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces  
uneven cooking. Also avoid metal skewers, thermometers or  
foil trays. Metal utensils can cause arcing, which can damage  
your microwave oven.  
measuring cups, casseroles and  
bowls without metallic trim.  
METAL DECORATION:  
CHINA:  
Metal-trimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes,  
etc. The metal trim interferes with normal cooking and may  
damage the oven.  
Bowls, cups, serving plates and  
platters without metallic trim.  
PLASTIC:  
ALUMINUM FOIL:  
Plastic wrap (as a cover)-- lay the  
plastic wrap loosely over the dish and  
press it to the sides.  
Vent plastic wrap by turning back one  
edge slightly to allow excess steam to  
escape. The dish should be deep  
enough so that the plastic wrap will  
not touch the food.  
As the food heats it may melt the  
plastic wrap wherever the wrap  
touches the food.  
Use plastic dishes, cups, semirigid  
freezer containers and plastic bags  
only for short cooking times. Use  
these with care because the plastic  
may soften from the heat of the  
food.  
Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder  
cooking and may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil  
to shield poultry legs and wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at  
least 1 inch from the side walls and door of the oven.  
WOOD:  
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack  
when you use them in the microwave oven. Baskets react in  
the same way.  
TIGHTLY COVERED UTENSILS:  
Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered  
utensils.  
Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before  
cooking.  
Tightly closed pouches could explode.  
BROWN PAPER:  
PAPER:  
Avoid using brown paper bags.  
Paper towels, waxed paper, paper  
napkins, and paper plates with no  
metallic trim or design. Look for the  
manufacturer's label for use in the  
microwave oven.  
They absorb too much heat and could burn.  
FLAWED OR CHIPPED UTENSILS:  
Any utensil that is cracked, flawed, or chipped may break in the  
oven.  
METAL TWIST TIES:  
Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags.  
They become hot and could cause a fire.

in house.  
If food is undercooked:  
check recipe to be sure all directions (amount, time,  
and power levels) were correctly followed.  
be sure microwave oven is on a separate circuit.  
be sure food is completely defrosted before cooking.  
check that controls are set properly.  
If the oven interior light does not works:  
If food is overcooked:  
the light bulb is loose or defective.

level, time, size of dish) were followed.  
If oven will not cook:  
check that control panel was programmed correctly.  
check that door is firmly closed.  
check that Start Pad was touched.  
check that timer wasnt started instead of a cook  
function.  
If arcing (sparks) occur:  
be sure microwavable dishes were used.  
be sure wire twist ties werent used.  
be sure oven wasnt operated when empty.  
make sure metal rack (if used) is properly installed on 4  
supports.  
If oven takes longer than normal to cook or cooks  
too rapidly:  
be sure the Power Level is programmed properly.  
If the Display shows a time counting down but the  
oven is not cooking:  
check that door is firmly closed.  
check that timer wasnt started instead of a cooking  
function.  
If the time of day clock does not always keep  
correct time:  
check that the power cord is fully inserted into the  
outlet receptacle.  
Vent fan starts automatically:  
be sure the oven is the only appliance on the  
electrical circuit.  
If the temperature gets too hot around the microwave  
oven, the fan in the vent hood will automatically turn  
on to cool the oven. It may stay on up to an hour to  
cool the oven.
