the service center will require the complete model  
number of your microwave oven. The number is on the  
oven front as shown in the illustration below.  
WARNING - If you use the grounding  
plug improperly, you risk electric shock.  
MODEL NUMBER LABEL  
Ask a qualified electrician if you do not understand the  
grounding instructions or if you wonder whether the  
appliance is properly grounded.

short power-supply cord. See the separate Installation  
Instructions for directions on placing the cord properly.  
Keep the electrical power cord dry and do not pinch or  
crush it in any way.  
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a  
3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding  
plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug  
on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension  
cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical  
rating of the appliance.

INSTRUCTIONS  
POPCORN  
POPCORN lets you pop commercially packaged  
microwave popcorn. Pop only one package at a time.  
For best results, use fresh bags of popcorn.  
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  
display will show the remaining heating time. For best  
results for cooking by Sensor, following these  
recommendations.  
Example: To pop popcorn.  
1. Touch POPCORN pad.  
When the cook time is over,  
you will hear four beeps and  
COOK END will display.  
1. Food cooked with the sensor system should be at  
normal storage temperature.  
CAUTION  
2. Glass Tray and outside of container should be dry to  
assure best cooking results.  
Do not leave microwave oven unattended while  
popping. When popping commercially packaged  
popcorn, Remove the rack from the oven; Do not  
place the bag of microwave popcorn on the rack or  
under the rack.  
3. Foods should always be covered loosely with  
microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a lid.  
4. Do not open the door or touch the STOP/CLEAR key  
during the sensing time. When sensing time is over,  
the oven beeps and the remaining cooking time will  
appear in the display window.  
At this time you can open the door to stir, turn, or  
rearrange the food.  
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 of the size of the container.  
Fill containers at least half full for best results.  
POTATO  
The POTATO button lets you bake one or several potatoes  
without selecting cooking times and power levels.  
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.  
NOTE:  
• Before baking, pierce potato with fork severral times.  
• After baking, let stand for 5 minutes.  
Example: To cook 2 potatoes.  
1. Touch POTATO pad.  
When the cook time is over,  
you will hear four beeps and  
COOK END will display.

AUTO DEFROST  
Your microwave oven is preset with three defrost  
sequences. Using AUTO DEFROST is the best way to  
defrost frozen foods. The Auto Defrost Sequence Table  
below provides some basic guidelines for using the  
three defrost sequences.

WEIGHT CONVERSION TABLE  
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 Auto 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 table to convert the  
weight to decimals.  
Example: To defrost 1.2 lbs. of meat.  
1. Touch AUTO DEFROST

OPERATING TIPS  
For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat, and  
poultry from its original closed paper or plastic  
package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will hold  
steam and juice close to the foods, which can cause  
the outer surface of the foods to cook.  
5. Close the door and restart.  
When the defrost time is over,  
you will hear four beeps and  
COOK END will display.  
For best results, shape your ground meat into the  
form of a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting,  
scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and  
continue defrosting.  
NOTE: If you do not open the  
door, the display will resume  
the countdown.  
Place foods in a shallow container or on a microwave  
roasting rack to catch drippings.

DEFROSTING TIPS  
Q DEFROST  
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).  
The Q DEFROST feature provides you with the rapid  
defrosting method for 1.0 pound ground beef. The oven  
automatically sets the defrosting time for ground beef.  
Before starting, make sure you have removed any of  
the metal twist-ties which often come with frozen food  
bags, and replace them with strings or elastic bands.  
Example: To defrost ground beef.  
Open containers such as cartons before they are  
placed in the oven.  
1. Touch Q DEFROST pad.  
Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging.  
If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place it in a  
suitable container.  
2. Touch START pad.  
Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as sausage.  
Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even  
defrosting.  
Always underestimate defrosting time. If defrosted  
food is still icy in the center, return it to the microwave  
oven for more defrosting.  
USE OF THE TWO POSITION  
METAL RACK  
The two position metal rack gives you extra space  
when cooking in more than one container at the same  
time. The metal rack can be turned upside down to  
accomodate different container sizes.  
The length of defrosting time varies according to how  
solidly the food is frozen.  
The shape of the package affects how quickly food  
will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more  
quickly than a deep block.  
To use rack:  
As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces.  
Separated pieces defrost more easily.  
1. Place rack securely in the four plastic supports.  
Rack MUST NOT touch metal walls or back of  
microwave oven.  
2. Place equal amounts of food both ABOVE and  
BELOW rack.  
Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of  
food such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails, or  
areas that start to get warm. Make sure the foil does  
not touch the sides, top, or bottom of the oven. The  
foil can damage the oven lining.  
Amount of food must be approximately the same  
to balance out cooking energy.  
For better results, let food stand after defrosting.  
(For more information on standing time, see the  
Microwave Cooking Tipssection.)  
Turn over food during defrosting or standing time.  
Break apart and remove food as required.

COOKING  
CAUTION  
To avoid risk of property damage:  
Do not use rack to pop popcorn.  
Rack must be on the four plastic supports when  
used.  
Use the rack only when cooking food on two levels.  
Do not cook with rack on floor of the oven.

COOKING

GETTING THE BEST COOKING  
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.

Appetizers / Sauces / Soups  
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.  
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 from 5-10˚F during  
standing 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.  
Generally, cover microwaved soups with VENTED  
plastic wrap or a microwavable lid.  
Cover foods to retain moisture. Uncover foods to  
retain crispness.  
The Meat Cooking Table on the next page provides  
detailed directions, Power Level, and Cooking Time  
settings for most cuts of meat.  
Avoid overcooking by using the minimum suggested  
time. Add more time, if necessary, only after checking  
the food.  
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  
Poultry  
Cooking Poultry: General Directions  
The poultry is done when it is no longer pink and the  
juices run clear. When done, the temperature in the  
thigh meat should be 180-185˚F.  
Let the poultry stand after cooking covered with foil for  
10 minutes.  
Prepare the poultry for cooking.  
- Defrost completely.  
- Arrange poultry pieces with thicker pieces at the  
outside edge of the baking dish. When cooking legs,  
arrange them like the spokes of a wheel.  
- Cover the baking dish with waxed paper to reduce  
splattering.  
The Poultry Cooking Table below provides detailed  
directions, Power Level, and Cooking Time settings for  
most cuts and types of poultry.  
- Use a browning agent or cook with a sauce to give a  
browned appearance.  
Tend the poultry as it cooks.  
- Drain and discard juices as they accumulate.  
- Shield thin or bony pieces with small strips of  
aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Keep foil at  
least 1 inch from the oven walls and other pieces of  
foil.

MAINTENANCE  
4. To reinstall the filter, slide it into the back slot, then  
push up to lock.  
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.  
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.  
5. Reconnect power or plug in microwave oven.  
NOTE: Do not operate the hood without the filter in place.  
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.  
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.  
1. Disconnect power or unplug microwave oven.  
2. Remove the two vent grille mounting screws.  
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 back.  
Pull filter downward. The filter will drop out.  
3. Tip the grille forward, then lift out to remove.  
4. Remove old filter.  
3. Soak grease filter in hot water and a mild detergent.  
Scrub and swish to remove embedded dirt and  
grease. Rinse well and shake to dry.  
Do not clean filter with ammonia, corrosive  
cleaning agents such as lye-based oven  
cleaners, or place them in a dishwasher. The  
filter will turn black or could be damaged.  
5. Slide a new charcoal filter into place.  
The filter should rest at the angle shown.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS  
Q. Can I use a rack in my microwave oven so that I  
may reheat or cook in two levels at a time?  
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), and shallow foil trays (if tray  
is 3/4 inch deep and filled with food to absorb  
microwave energy). Never allow metal to touch  
walls or door.  
2. Remove the bulb cover mounting screws.  
3. Replace bulb(s) with 30 or 40 watt appliance bulb(s).  
4. Replace bulb cover, and mounting screw.  
5. Reconnect power or plug in microwave oven.  
OVEN LIGHT REPLACEMENT  
1. Disconnect power or unplug microwave oven.  
2. Remove the vent grille mounting screws.  
3. Tip the cover forward, then lift out to remove.  
Q. Sometimes the door of my microwave oven  
appears wavy. Is this normal?  
A. This appearance is normal and does not affect the  
operation of your oven.  
Q. Why does the dish become hot when I  
microwave food in it? I thought that this should  
not happen.  
A. As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to  
the dish. Use hot pads to remove food after  
cooking.  
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 purpose.  
4. Lift up the bulb holder.  
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 unpopped 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. Replace bulb with 30 or 40 watt appliance bulb.  
6. Replace the bulb holder, if damaged.  
7. Slide the bottom of the vent grille into place. Push  
the bottom until it snaps into place. Replace the  
mounting screws.  
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 top vent.  
8. Reconnect power or plug in microwave oven.

MAINTENANCE  
MICROWAVE UTENSIL GUIDE  
USE  
DO NOT USE  
OVENPROOF GLASS (treated for high  
intensity heat):  
utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates,  
cake plates, liquid measuring cups,  
casseroles and bowls without metallic  
trim.  
METAL UTENSILS:  
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.  
METAL DECORATION:  
Metal-trimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes,  
etc. The metal trim interferes with normal cooking and may  
damage the oven.  
CHINA:  
bowls, cups, serving plates and platters  
without metallic trim.  
ALUMINUM FOIL:  
PLASTIC:  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Use plastic dishes, cups,  
TIGHTLY COVERED UTENSILS:  
semirigid freezer containers and plastic  
bags only for short cooking time. Use  
these with care because the plastic  
may soften from the heat of the food.  
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.  
PAPER:  
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.  
BROWN PAPER:  
Avoid using brown paper bags.  
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.
