necked bottles. The containers can break.  
Dishes and containers can become hot.  
Handle with care.  
Carefully remove container coverings,  
directing steam away from hands and face.  
Remove lids from baby food before  
reheating. After heating baby food, stir well  
and test temperature by tasting before  
serving.  
A short power-supply cord is provided to  
reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or  
tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord  
sets or extension cords are available and  
may be used with caution.  
Do not operate any other heating or  
cooking appliance beneath this appliance.  
Do not mount unit over or near any portion  
of a heating or cooking appliance.

Important Safety  
Instructions, continued  
As with any appliance, close supervision is  
necessary when used by children.  
Do not operate this appliance if it has a  
damaged cord or plug, if it is not working  
properly, or if it has been damaged.  
This appliance should be serviced only by  
qualified service personnel. Contact the  
nearest authorized service facility for  
examination, repair, or adjustment.  
Do not cover or block any of the openings  
on this appliance.  
Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do  
not use near water – for example, near a  
kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a  
swimming pool, etc.  
Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food  
particles or spattered oils stuck to the oven  
walls or floor can cause paint damage and  
reduce the efficiency of the oven.  
Do not immerse cord or plug in water.  
Keep cord away from heated surfaces.  
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or  
counter.  
When cleaning door and oven surfaces,  
use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or  
detergents applied with a sponge or soft  
cloth.  
Do not store anything directly on top of the  
appliance when it is in operation.  
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven:  
a. Do not overcook food. Watch appliance  
carefully if paper, plastic, or other  
combustible materials are inside.  
b. Remove wire twist-ties from plastic  
cooking bags before placing bags in  
oven.  
c. If materials inside the oven ignite, keep  
the oven door closed, turn the oven off,  
disconnect the power cord, or shut off  
the power at the fuse or circuit breaker  
panel.

IMPORTANT  
Use of Extension Cords  
GROUNDING  
INSTRUCTIONS  
A short power-supply cord is provided to  
reduce the risk of becoming entangled in  
or tripping over a longer cord. Longer  
cord sets or extension cords are  
available and may be used if care is  
exercised in their use. If a long cord or  
extension cord is used:  
This appliance 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 electrical current. This appliance is  
equipped with a cord that includes a  
grounding wire and a grounding plug.  
The plug must be plugged into an outlet  
that is properly installed and grounded.  
Plug the three-prong power cord into a  
properly grounded outlet of standard  
115-120 voltage, 60 Hz. Your oven  
should be the only appliance on this  
circuit.  
1. The marked electrical rating of the  
cord set or extension cord should be  
at least as great as the electrical  
rating of the appliance.  
2. The extension cord must be a  
grounding-type 3-wire cord and it  
must be plugged into a 3-slot outlet.  
3. The longer cord should be arranged  
so that it will not drape over the  
counter top or tabletop where it can  
be pulled on by children or tripped  
over accidentally. If you use an  
extension cord, the interior light may  
flicker and the blower may vary when  
the microwave oven is on. Cooking  
times may be longer, too.  
WARNING  
Improper use of the grounding  
plug can result in a risk of electric  
shock. Consult a qualified  
electrician or servicer if you do not  
understand the grounding  
instructions or if you are not sure if  
the appliance is properly  
WARNING  
grounded.  
Do not cut or remove the third  
(ground) prong from the power  
cord under any circumstances.

Cooking Instructions  
Not Recommended  
Cooking Utensils  
Recommended Use  
Glass jars and bottles — Regular glass is  
too thin to be used in a microwave, and can  
shatter.  
Paper bags — These are a fire hazard,  
except for popcorn bags that are designed  
for microwave use.  
Styrofoam plates and cups — These can  
melt and leave an unhealthy residue on  
food.  
Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and  
dishes — Use for heating or cooking.  
Microwave browning dish — Use to brown  
the exterior of small items such as steaks,  
chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions  
provided with your browning dish.  
Microwavable plastic wrap — Use to  
retain steam. Leave a small opening for  
some steam to escape and avoid placing it  
directly on the food.  
Plastic storage and food containers  
Containers such as margarine tubs can melt  
in the microwave.  
Metal utensils — These can damage your  
oven. Remove all metal before cooking.  
Wax paper — Use as a cover to prevent  
spattering.  
Paper towels and napkins — Use for  
short-term heating and covering; they  
absorb excess moisture and prevent  
spattering. Do not use recycled paper  
towels, which may contain metal and can  
catch fire.  
Testing Utensils  
If you are not sure whether a dish is  
microwave-safe or not, you can perform this  
test:  
Paper plates and cups — Use for short-  
term heating at low temperatures. Do not  
use recycled paper, which may contain  
metal and can catch fire.  
Thermometers — Use only those labeled  
“Microwave Safe” and follow all directions.  
Check the food in several places.  
Conventional thermometers may be used  
once the food has been removed from the  
oven.  
1
Fill a 1 cup glass measuring cup with water  
and put it inside your oven, next to the dish  
you want to test.  
Limited Use  
Aluminum foil — Use narrow strips of foil to  
prevent overcooking of exposed areas.  
Using too much foil can damage your oven,  
so be careful.  
2
Press the One Minute+ button once to  
heat them for one minute at High power.  
Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware  
Use these if they are labeled “Microwave  
Safe.” If they are not labeled, test them to  
make sure they can be used safely. Never  
use dishes with metallic trim.  
The water should be warm and the dish you  
are testing should be cool. If the dish is warm,  
then it is absorbing microwave energy and is  
not acceptable for use in the microwave.  
Plastic — Use only if labeled “Microwave  
Safe.” Other plastics can melt.  
Straw, wicker, and wood — Use only for  
short-term heating, as they can be  
flammable.

Cooking Instructions  
Adding Moisture  
Microwave energy is attracted to water  
molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture  
content should be covered or allowed to stand  
so that the heat disperses evenly. Add a small  
amount of water to dry food to help it cook.  
Cooking Techniques  
Stirring  
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables  
while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food  
at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy  
and heats more quickly, so stir from the  
outside to the center. The oven will turn off  
when you open the door to stir your food.  
General Tips  
Arrangement  
• Dense foods, such as potatoes, take longer  
to heat than lighter foods. Foods with a  
delicate texture should be heated at a low  
power level to avoid becoming tough.  
• Altitude and the type of cookware you are  
using can affect cooking time. When using a  
new recipe, use the minimum cooking time  
and check the food occasionally to prevent  
overcooking.  
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as  
chicken pieces or chops, with the thicker,  
meatier parts toward the outside of the  
turntable where they receive more microwave  
energy. To prevent overcooking, place thin or  
delicate parts toward the center of the  
turntable.  
• Foods with a non-porous skin or shell, such  
as potatoes, eggs, or hot dogs, should be  
pierced to prevent bursting.  
• Frying with heating oil or fat is not  
recommended. Fat and oil can suddenly boil  
over and cause severe burns.  
• Some ingredients heat faster than others.  
For example, the jelly inside a jelly doughnut  
will be hotter than the dough. Keep this in  
mind to avoid burns.  
• Home canning in the microwave oven is not  
recommended because all harmful bacteria  
may not be destroyed by the microwave  
heating process.  
Shielding  
Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil  
to prevent overcooking. Areas that need  
shielding include poultry wing-tips, the ends of  
poultry legs, and corners of square baking  
dishes. Use only small amounts of aluminum  
foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven.  
Turning  
Turn foods over midway through cooking to  
expose all parts to microwave energy. This is  
especially important with large items such as  
roasts.  
• Although microwaves do not heat the  
cookware, the heat is often transferred to the  
cookware. Always use pot holders when  
removing food from the microwave and  
instruct children to do the same.  
Standing  
Foods cooked in the microwave build up  
internal heat and continue to cook for a few  
minutes after the oven stops. Let foods stand  
to complete cooking, especially foods such as  
roasts and whole vegetables. Roasts need  
this time to complete cooking in the center  
without overcooking the outer areas. All  
liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate, should  
be shaken or stirred when cooking is  
complete. Let liquids stand a moment before  
serving. When heating baby food, stir well and  
test the temperature before serving.

vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and green beans are being cooked, add about ¼ cup  
water.  
• Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook faster than larger ones.  
• Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or corn on the cob, should be arranged in  
a circle on the turntable before cooking. They will cook more evenly if turned over after half the  
cooking time.  
• Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli with the stem ends pointing towards the  
edge of the dish and the tips toward the center.  
• When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with a lid or vented microwavable plastic  
wrap.  
• Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skin  
pricked in several spots before cooking to prevent them from bursting.  
• For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway through the cooking time.  
• Generally, the denser the food, the longer the standing time. (Standing time refers to the time  
necessary for dense, large foods and vegetables to finish cooking after they come out of the  
oven.) A baked potato can stand on the counter for five minutes before cooking is completed,  
while a dish of peas can be served immediately.

Defrosting Guide  
• Unwrap food. Place food on a microwave-safe rack, plate or shallow dish.  
• After first half of defrosting time: remove any remaining wrap, break food apart or separate  
pieces if possible, remove any thawed food, if possible, shield tips, thin meat or warm areas of  
food with foil.  
• When defrosted, food should be cool, but softened in all areas. If still slightly icy, return to  
microwave oven very briefly, or let stand a few minutes.  
• Poultry and fish may be placed under running cool water until defrosted.

Troubleshooting Guide  
• Remove any metallic utensils, cookware, or  
metal ties. If using foil, use only narrow strips  
and allow at least one inch between the foil  
and interior oven walls.  
Before you call a repair person for your oven,  
check this list of possible problems and  
solutions.  
Neither the oven’s display nor the  
oven operate.  
• Properly insert the plug into a grounded  
outlet.  
• If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch,  
make sure the wall switch is turned on.  
• Remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten  
seconds, then plug it in again.  
The turntable makes noises or  
sticks.  
• Clean the turntable, roller ring and oven  
floor.  
• Make sure the turntable and roller ring are  
positioned correctly.  
• Reset the circuit breaker or replace any

• Plug another appliance into the outlet; if the  
other appliance doesn’t work, have a  
qualified electrician repair the outlet.  
• Plug the oven into a different outlet.  
The oven’s display works, but the  
power won’t come on.  
• Make sure the door is closed securely.  
• Check to see if packing material or other  
material is stuck to the door seal.  
• Check for door damage.  
• Press Cancel twice and re-enter all cooking  
instructions.  
The power goes off before the set

Appendix  
Care and Cleaning  
Follow these instructions to clean and care for  
your oven.  
• Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food  
particles and spilled liquids can stick to the  
oven walls, causing the oven to work less  
efficiently.  
• Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp  
cloth and mild soap. Do not use harsh  
detergents or abrasives.  
• To help loosen baked on food particles or  
liquids, heat two cups of water (add the juice  
of one lemon if you desire to keep the oven  
fresh) in a four-cup measuring glass at High  
power for five minutes or until boiling. Let  
stand in the oven for one or two minutes.  
• Remove the glass tray from the oven when  
cleaning the oven or tray. To prevent the tray  
from breaking, handle it carefully and do not  
put it in water immediately after cooking.  
Wash the tray carefully in warm sudsy water  
or in the dishwasher.  
• Clean the outside surface of the oven with  
soap and a damp cloth. Dry with a soft cloth.  
To prevent damage to the operating parts of  
the oven, don’t let water seep into the  
openings.  
• Wash the door window with very mild soap  
and water. Be sure to use a soft cloth to  
avoid scratching.  
• If steam accumulates inside or outside the  
oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can  
accumulate when operating the oven in high  
humidity and in no way indicates microwave  
leakage.  
• Never operate the oven without food in it;  
this can damage the magnetron tube or  
glass tray. You may wish to leave a cup of  
water in the oven when it is not in use to  
prevent damage if the oven is accidentally  
turned on.
