WARNING  
Federal  
Communications  
To avoid risk of electrical shock or death, this oven must  
be grounded and plug must not be altered.  
Commission Radio  
Frequency Interference  
Statement (U.S.A. Only)  
Grounding Instructions  
Oven MUST be grounded.  
Grounding reduces risk of electric  
shock by providing an escape wire  
for the electric current if an electrical  
short occurs. This 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. See Installation  
Instructions.  
This equipment generates and uses ISM frequency energy  
and if not installed and used properly, that is in strict  
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may  
cause interference to radio and television reception. It has  
been type tested and found to comply with limits for ISM  
Equipment, pursuant to part 18 of FCC Rules, which are  
designed to provide reasonable protection against such  
interference in a residential installation.  
Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if grounding  
instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt  
exists as to whether the oven is properly grounded.  
Do not use an extension cord. If the product power  
cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install a  
three-slot receptacle. This oven should be plugged into a  
separate 60 hertz circuit with the electrical ratting as  
shown in specifications table. When the oven is on a  
circuit with other equipment, an increase in cooking times  
may be required and fuses can be blown.  
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not  
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does  
cause interference to radio or television reception, which  
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,  
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by  
one or more of the following:  
Microwave operates on standard household current, 110-  
120V.  
Ÿ
Reorient the receiving antenna of the radio or  
television.  
Ÿ
Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the  
receiver.  
WARNING  
a. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the  
risks resulting from becoming entangled in or  
tripping over a longer cord.  
b. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in  
their use.  
Ÿ
Ÿ
Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.  
Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that  
the microwave oven and the receiver are on different  
branch circuits.  
c. If an extension cord is used:  
The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or  
television interference caused by unauthorized  
modification to this microwave oven. It is the responsibility  
of the user to correct such interference.  
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or  
extension cord set 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.  
3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will  
not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it  
can be tripped over, snagged, or pulled on  
unintentionally.  
If you use an extension cord, the interior light may flicker  
and the blower sound may vary when the microwave oven  
is on. Cooking times may be longer, too.

Important Safety Instructions  
WARNING  
Precautions to Avoid  
Possible Exposure to  
Excessive Microwave  
Energy  
Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be  
overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to  
be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible  
bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from  
the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD  
RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY  
BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER  
UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce  
the risk of injury to persons:  
Adhere to the following precautions:  
Ÿ DO NOT attempt to operate this oven with the door  
open since open door operation can result in harmful  
exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to  
defeat or tamper with the safety interlock switches.  
1. Do not overheat the liquid.  
2. Stir the liquid both before and halfway through  
heating it.  
3. Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow  
Ÿ DO NOT place any object between the oven front face  
and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to  
accumulate on sealing surfaces.  
necks.  
4. After heating, allow the container to stand in the  
microwave oven for a short time before removing the  
container.  
Ÿ DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door  
gasket. Doing so could cause damage.  
5. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other  
utensils into the container.  
Ÿ DO NOT operate the oven if it is damaged. It is  
particularly important that the oven door close  
properly and that there is no damage to:  
1. door (bent),  
2. hinges and latches (broken or loosened),  
3. door seals and sealing surfaces.  
Ÿ Oven should not be be adjusted or repaired by anyone  
except properly qualified service personnel.  
Radio Interference  
1. Operation of the microwave oven may cause interference  
to your radio, TV or similar equipment.  
2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated  
by taking the following measures:  
1) Clean door and sealing surface of the oven  
2) Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.  
3) Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver.  
4) Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.  
5) Plug the microwave oven into a diꢀerent outlet so that  
microwave oven and receiver are on diꢀerent branch  
circuits.

Microwave utensil guide  
Use  
Do not use  
Oven proof glass (specifically  
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.  
Ÿ Metal decoration:  
Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters without metallic trim.  
Ÿ China:  
Bowls, cups, serving plates and  
platters without metallic trim.  
Aluminum foil:  
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 of  
the oven cavity and door of the microwave.  
Plastic:  
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. Use plastic  
dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer  
containers and plastic bags for short  
cooking times. Use these with care  
because the plastic may soften from  
the heat of the food.  
Wood:  
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when you  
use them in the microwave oven. Baskets made of wood will react in the  
same way.  
Tightly covered utensils:  
e sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered cookware.  
Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before cooking.  
Tightly closed pouches may explode.  
Ÿ Brown paper:  
Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb heat and can burn.  
Ÿ Paper:  
Paper towels, waxed paper, paper  
napkins and paper plates with no  
metallic trim or design. Look for the  
manufacturer’s label for any special  
instructions for use in the  
Flawed or chipped cooking 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.

Cooking vegetables in your microwave  
Ÿ
Ÿ
When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with  
a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap.  
Ÿ
Vegetables should be washed just before cooking.  
Rarely is extra water needed. If dense vegetables such  
as potatoes, carrots and greens are being cooked, add  
about ¼ cup of water.  
Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, squash,  
eggplant, etc., should have their skin pricked in several  
locations before cooking to prevent them from bursting.  
Ÿ
Ÿ
Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.)  
will cook faster than larger vegetables.  
Ÿ
Ÿ
For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole  
vegetables halfway through the cook time.  
Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or  
corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the  
turntable before cooking. The will cook more evenly if  
turned over halfway through cooking.  
Most of the time, the denser the food the longer the  
required standing time. For example, a baked potato  
should stand for 5 minutes before serving, while a dish of  
peas may be served immediately.  
Ÿ
Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli with  
the stem ends pointing towards the edge of the dish and  
the tips toward the center.  
Cooking seafood in your microwave  
Place fish on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish. Be sure to always cook fish until it flakes easily  
with a fork. Use a tight cover to steam fish; a lighter cover of wax paper or paper towel provides less steaming. And be  
sure not to overcook fish; check it for doneness at a minimum cooking time before cooking longer.

Defrosting tips  
Ÿ
The shape of the package will alter the defrosting time.  
Shallow rectangular food packets defrost more quickly  
than a deep frozen block of food.  
Ÿ
When using the defrost weight feature, the weight  
entered should always be (valid entries are from  
Ÿ
Use both defrost weight and defrost time features for  
raw food items only. Defrosting gives best results when  
food to be thawed is a minimum of 0°F (taken directly  
from a true freezer). If the 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 or  
lower cook time to prevent cooking the food.  
Ÿ
Ÿ
Ÿ
Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated  
frozen pieces of food defrost better.  
Shield warm areas of food with small pieces of foil if they  
start to become warm.  
You may use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield food  
items like chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails, but do not  
allow the foil to touch the oven cavity walls when  
defrosting.  
Ÿ
If the frozen food is stored outside the freezer for up to  
20 minutes, enter a reduced cook time or weight.

Cleaning suggestions  
For best performance and for safety reasons, keep the  
oven clean inside and outside. Take special care to keep  
the inner door panel and oven from frame free of food and  
grease build-up.  
Ÿ
Ÿ
Wash the oven door window with very mild soap  
and water. Be sure to use a soft clean 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 use rough scouring powder or pads on the  
microwave. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out with a  
soft cloth and warm (not hot) mild detergent solution. Then  
rinse and wipe completely dry.  
Ÿ
Never operate the oven without food in the oven  
cavity; this can damage the magnetron tube or  
glass tray. You may wish to leave a cup of water  
standing inside the oven when it is not in use to  
prevent damage if the oven is accidentally turned on.  
Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel,  
especially after cooking greasy foods like chicken or bacon.  
Clean your microwave oven weekly or more often, if  
Follow these instructions to clean and care for your  
microwave oven:  
Ÿ
Ÿ
Ÿ
Keep the inside (cavity) of the oven clean. Food particles  
and spilled liquids can stick to the oven walls, causing  
the oven to wok less efficiently.  
Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp, clean cloth and  
mild soap. DO NOT use harsh detergents or abrasive  
cleaners.  
To help loosen baked-on food particles or liquids, heat 2  
cups of water (add the juice of 1 lemon if you desire to  
keep the oven fresh smelling) in a 4 cup measuring glass  
at High power for 5 minutes or until boiling. Let stand in  
oven cavity for 1 or 2 minutes.  
Ÿ
Ÿ
Remove the glass turntable tray from the oven when  
cleaning the oven cavity or tray. To prevent the glass  
turntable from breaking, handle with care and do not put  
it in water immediately after cooking. Wash the turntable  
tray in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher.  
Clean the outside surface of the microwave with soap  
and a clean damp cloth. Dry with a clean soft cloth. To  
prevent damage to the operating parts of the oven, do  
not let water seep into any vents or openings.
