IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed,
including the following:
WARNING: - To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or
exposure to excessive microwave energy:
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
Do not let cord hang over edge of a table or
counter.

Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS
TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EX-
CESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” found on
the inside front cover.
When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that
come together when closing the door, use only
mild non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied
with a sponge or soft cloth.
This appliance must be grounded. Connect
only to properly grounded outlet. See
“GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found on
page 4

To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
16
17
(a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend
appliance when paper, plastic, or other
combustible materials are placed inside the
oven to facilitate cooking.
Install or locate this appliance only in accor-
dance with the provided installation instructions.
4
5
(b) Remove wire twist-ties from paper or
plastic bags before placing bag in oven.
Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers (.i.e. closed glass jars) are able to
explode and should not be heated in this oven.
(c) If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven
door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect
the power cord or shut off power at the fuse
or circuit breaker panel.
Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual. Do not use corrosive
chemicals or harsh cleaning materials in this
appliance. This type of oven is specifically
designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not
designed for industrial or laboratory use.
6
(d) Do not use the cavity for storage purposes.
Do not leave paper products, cooking uten-
sils, or food in the cavity when not in use.
Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to
be overheated beyond the boiling point without
appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or
boiling when the container is removed from the
microwave oven is not always present. THIS
COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUD-
DENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER
IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTEN-
SIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
As with any appliance, close supervision is
necessary when used by children.
7
8
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 or dropped.
This appliance should be serviced only by
qualified service personnel. Contact the
nearest authorized service facility for
examination, repair or adjustment.
9
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
(a) Do not overheat liquids.
Do not cover or block any openings on this
appliance.
(b) Stir the liquid both before and halfway
through heating it.
10
11
(c) Do not use straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.
Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not
use this product near water - for example, near
a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a
swimming pool, or similar locations.
(d) After heating. allow the container to stand in
the microwave for a short time before
removing the container.
Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
12
13
(e) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or
other utensil into the container.

adjustments or repairs to door, control panel
or any other part of the oven. Do NOT remove
outer panel from oven. Repairs should only
be done by qualified service personnel.
CANNING. The oven is not designed to
permit proper canning. Improperly canned
food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.
COOKING TIMES given in the cooking guide
are approximate. Factors that may affect
cooking are starting temperature, altitude,
volume, size and shape of food and utensils
used. As you become familiar with the oven,
you will be able to adjust cooking times for
these factors.
Do NOT operate the oven empty. The micro-
wave energy will reflect continuously through-
out the oven if no food or water is present to
absorb energy.

3
If a fire occurs in the oven, touch the PAUSE/
CLEAR pad and LEAVE THE DOOR
CLOSED. Disconnect the power cord, or shut
off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
It is better to UNDERCOOK RATHER THAN
OVERCOOK foods. If food is undercooked, it
can always be returned to the oven for further
cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can be
done. Always start with minimum cooking times.
3
4
Do NOT attempt to dry clothes, newspapers
or other materials in the oven. They may catch
fire.
4
5
SMALL QUANTITIES of food or foods with
LOW MOISTURE content can burn, dry out
or catch fire if cooked too long.
Do NOT use recycled paper products, as they
may contain impurities which may cause
sparks and/or fires when used.
Do NOT boil eggs in their shell. Pressure may
build up and the eggs will explode.
Do NOT hit or strike control panel. Damage
to controls may occur.

7
Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole acorn
squash and sausage are examples of food
with NONPOROUS SKINS. These must be
pierced before cooking to prevent bursting.
Never insert a wire, nail or any other metal
objects through the holes on the cavity or
any other holes or gaps, because such
objects may cause electric shock and
microwave leakage.
POPCORN must be popped in a microwave
corn popper. Microwave popped corn
produces a lower yield than conventional
popping. Do not use oven for popcorn unless
popped in a microwave approved popcorn
utensil or unless it’s commercially packaged
and recommended especially for microwave
ovens. Do not use oil unless specified by the
manufacturer.
7
Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times.
Wipe the over interior with a soft damp cloth
after each use. If you leave grease or fat
anywhere in the cavity it may overheat, smoke
or even catch fire when next using the oven.
8
Utensils
METAL CONTAINERS or dishes with metallic
rims should not be used. Arcing may occur.

3
Do NOT attempt to deep fat fry in your oven.
Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you
cannot control the temperature and doing so
may lead to overheating and fire.

9
METAL TWIST-TIES may not be used in the
microwave oven.
Do NOT use SEALED JARS or NARROW
NECK bottles for cooking or reheating. They
may shatter.
HEATED LIQUIDS can ERUPT if not mixed
with air. Do not heat liquids in your microwave
oven without first stirring.
Do NOT use CONVENTIONAL THERMOM-
ETERS in the microwave oven. They may
cause arcing.

COOKING GUIDE
THE PRINCIPLES OF MICROWAVE COOKING
Microwaves are a form of high frequency radio waves similar to those used by a radio including
AM, FM and CB. Electricity is converted Into microwave energy by the magnetron tube. From the
magnetron tube, microwave energy is transmitted to the oven where it is reflected, transmitted and
absorbed by the food.
Reflection
Microwaves are reflected by metal just as a ball is bounced off a wall. For this reason, metal utensils
are not suitable for use in the microwave. A combination of stationary interior walls and a rotating turn-
table or stirrer fan helps assure that the microwaves are well distributed within the oven cavity to
produce even cooking.
Transmission
Microwaves pass through some materials such as paper, glass and plastic much like sunlight shining
through a window.
Because these substances do not absorb or reflect the microwave energy, they are ideal materials for
microwave oven cooking containers.
Absorption
During cooking, microwaves will be absorbed by food. They penetrate to a depth of about 1.9 to 3.8
cm. Microwave energy activates the molecules in the food (especially water, fat and sugar), and
heat is produced. If you vigorously rub your hands together, you will feel heat produced by friction. The
internal cooking of larger foods is done by conduction as the heat which is produced by friction is
conducted in the middle of the food. Foods also continue to cook through conduction during standing
time.
ACTION WAVETM COOKING SYSTEM
This new, specially designed "Action WaveTM Cooking System" utilizes a series of performance-
engineered pyramids in the oven's interior cavity. They distribute microwave energy in a much
more effective omni-directional pattern to the food. This action promotes faster,more uniform cook-
ing, with fewer hot or cold spots. Together with the integral rotating glass tray, this new "Action
WaveTM Cooking System" is very efficient and fast. Available for cooking in the new millennium.
Action WaveTM radiates microwave energy at convex diverters that maximize the microwaves absorbed
by the food mass,which results in very even cooking. No more hot or cold spots!
