Microwave Oven Safety  
Electrical requirements  
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.  
A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 or 20 amp fused  
electrical supply is required. (A time-delay fuse is  
recommended.) It is recommended that a separate  
circuit serving only this appliance be provided.  
wWARNING  
Electrical Shock Hazard  
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.  
Do not remove ground prong.  
Do not use an adapter.  
Do not use an extension cord.  
Failure to follow these instructions can  
result in death, fire, or electrical shock.  
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
For all cord connected appliances:  
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply  
cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or  
serviceman install an outlet near the microwave oven.  
The microwave oven 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 electric current. The microwave  
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.  
For a permanently connected appliance:  
The microwave oven must be connected to a  
grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system, or an  
equipment grounding conductor should be run with  
the circuit conductors and connected to the  
equipment grounding terminal or lead on the  
microwave oven.  
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug  
can result in a risk of electric shock.  
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the  
grounding instructions are not completely under-  
stood, or if doubt exists as to whether the microwave  
oven is properly grounded.

Getting to Know Your Microwave Oven  
This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows you the basics you need  
to know to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information before you use your oven.  
Operating tips  
Never lean on the door or allow a child to swing  
Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside the  
shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause  
them to burst, and possibly damage the oven.  
Slice hard-boiled eggs before heating. In rare cases,  
poached eggs have been known to explode. Cover  
poached eggs and allow a standing time of one  
minute before cutting into them.  
on it when the door is open.  
Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heat  
containers, but the heat from the food can make  
the container hot.  
Do not use newspaper or other printed paper in  
the oven.  
For best results, stir any liquid several times  
during heating or reheating. Liquids heated in  
certain containers (especially containers shaped like  
cylinders) may become overheated. The liquid may  
splash out with a loud noise during or after heating  
when stirring or when adding ingredients (coffee  
granules, tea bags, etc.). This can harm the oven.  
Do not dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, paper,  
gourds, or clothes in the oven.  
Do not start a microwave oven when it is empty.  
Product life may be shortened. If you practice  
programming the oven, put a container of water in  
the oven. It is normal for the oven door to look  
wavy after the oven has been running for a while.  
Microwaves may not reach the center of a roast.  
The heat spreads to the center from the outer,  
cooked areas just as in regular oven cooking.  
This is one of the reasons for letting some foods  
(for example, roasts or baked potatoes) stand for  
a while after cooking, or for stirring some foods  
during the cooking time.  
Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven.  
Paraffin wax will not melt in a microwave oven  
because it allows microwaves to pass through it.  
Do not operate the microwave oven unless the  
glass turntable is securely in place and can rotate  
freely. The turntable can rotate in either direction.  
Make sure the turntable is correct-side up in the  
oven. Handle your turntable with care when  
removing it from the oven to avoid possibly  
breaking it. If your turntable cracks or breaks,  
contact your dealer for a replacement.  
Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable  
utensils are not suitable and it is difficult to  
maintain appropriate deep-frying temperatures.  
Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the  
recommended cooking time, potatoes should be  
slightly firm because they will continue cooking  
during standing time. After microwaving, let  
potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish  
cooking while standing.  
When you use a browning dish, the browning  
dish bottom must be at least 316 in. (5.5 mm) above  
the turntable. Follow the directions supplied with  
the browning dish.  
Electrical connection  
If your electric power line or outlet voltage is less  
than 110 volts, cooking times may be longer. Have a  
qualified electrician check your electrical system.

Defrosting tips  
When using DEFROST, the weight to be entered  
is the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds  
(the weight of the food minus the container).  
Always underestimate defrosting time. If defrost-  
ed food is still icy in the center, return it to the  
microwave oven for more defrosting.  
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.  
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.  
Open containers such as cartons before they are  
placed in the oven.  
As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces.  
Separated pieces defrost more easily.  
Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging.  
If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place it in a  
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.  
suitable container.  
Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as  
sausage.  
Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even  
defrosting.  
For better results, let food stand after defrosting.  
Turn over food during defrosting or standing time.  
Break apart and remove food as required.

Using Pan Brown  
Pan Brown uses the Crisper pan to brown, crisp  
and pan-fry foods in the microwave oven.  
Using the pan  
Do not use plastic utensils on the pan. The pan  
becomes very hot quickly and could melt the utensils.  
While microwaves heat the food from above, they  
also heat the browning pan very quickly from below  
to brown and crisp the food.  
Do not use any metal utensils as they can scratch  
the pan.  
Do not use the pan in any other microwave oven or

microwave oven. There are, however, some excep-  
tions. If you have purchased food which is prepack-  
aged in an aluminum foil container, refer to the  
instructions on the package. When using aluminum  
foil containers, cooking times may be longer  
because microwaves will only penetrate the top of  
the food.  
Use only undamaged containers.  
Do not use containers taller than 3⁄

(6.35 mm) between the aluminum container and the  
walls of the oven and also between two aluminum  
containers.  
If you use aluminum containers without package  
instructions, follow these guidelines:  
Always place the container on the turntable.  
Reheating food in aluminum foil containers usually  
takes up to double the time compared to reheating in  
plastic, glass, china, or paper containers. The time  
when food is ready will vary depending upon the  
type of container you use.  
Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after heating so  
that heat is spread evenly throughout container.  
Place the container in a glass bowl and add some  
water so that it covers the bottom of the container,  
not more than 1⁄

Questions and Answers  
QUESTIONS  
ANSWERS  
Can I operate my microwave oven without the  
turntable or turn the turntable over to hold a  
large dish?  
You can turn off the turntable to heat 2 dinner  
plates side by side or one dish that’s larger than the  
turntable. However, if you only need to heat one plate  
on the turntable, keep the turntable on for best  
cooking results. Also, you should not turn over the  
turntable. A plate used on the turntable must fit on it  
when the turntable is correct side up.  
Can I use a rack in my microwave oven so that I  
may reheat or cook on two levels at a time?  
You can use a rack only if the rack is supplied  
with your microwave oven. If you use a rack not  
supplied with the microwave oven, you can get poor  
cooking performance and/or arcing.  
Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my  
microwave oven?  
You can use aluminum foil for shielding (use  
small, flat pieces), small skewers, and shallow  
foil trays (if tray is 3⁄  
in. [19 mm] deep or less and  
4
half filled with food to absorb microwave energy).  
Never allow metal to touch walls or door.  
Is it normal for the turntable to turn in  
either direction?  
Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or counter-  
clockwise, depending on the rotation of the  
motor when the cooking cycle begins.  
Sometimes the door of my microwave oven  
appears wavy. Is this normal?  
This appearance is normal and does not affect the  
operation of your oven.  
What are the humming noises that I hear when my  
microwave oven is operating?  
You hear the sound of the transformer when the  
magnetron tube cycles on.  
Why does the dish become hot when I microwave  
food in it? I thought that this should not happen.  
As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat  
to the dish. Be prepared to use hot pads to  
remove food after cooking.  
Steam is normally produced during cooking. The  
microwave oven has been designed to vent this  
steam out the vent.  
Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?

Troubleshooting  
Most cooking problems often are caused by little things you can find and fix without tools of any kind.  
Check the lists below and on the next page before calling for assistance or service.  
If you still need help, see the “Requesting Assistance or Service” section.  
Microwave oven does not work  
PROBLEM  
CAUSE  
Nothing works.  
The power supply cord is not plugged into a live circuit with the proper  
voltage. (See the “Electrical requirements” section on page 5 and the  
“Electrical connection” section on page 7.)  
A household fuse has blown or a circuit breaker has tripped.  
The electric company has had a power failure.  
The microwave oven  
will not run.  
You are using the oven as a timer. Touch OFF/CANCEL to cancel the

You did not press to start at the end of a function.  
You did not follow directions exactly.  
An operation that you set earlier is still running. Touch OFF/CANCEL to  
cancel that operation.  
Cooking times  
PROBLEM  
CAUSE  
Food is not cooked  
enough.  
The electric supply to your home or wall outlets is low or lower than normal.  
Your electric company can tell you if the line voltage is low. Your electrician  
or service technician can tell you if the outlet voltage is low.  
The cook power is not at the recommended setting. Check the chart on  
page 16.  
You have not allowed enough cooking time for the amount of food being  
cooked. Larger amounts of food need longer cooking times.  
The display shows a time  
counting down but the  
oven is not cooking.  
The oven door is not closed completely.  
You have set the controls as a Minute Timer. Touch TIMER or OFF/CANCEL  
to cancel the Minute Timer.

Troubleshooting  
Turntable  
PROBLEM  
CAUSE  
The turntable will  
not turn.  
You have turned off the turntable. (See the “Using 2-4 Plates” section on  
page 20.)  
The turntable is not correctly in place. It should be correct-side up and sitting  
firmly on the center shaft.  
The support is not operating correctly. Remove the turntable and restart the  
oven. If the support still does not move, call a designated service technician  
for repair. Cooking without the turntable can give you poor results.  
Tones  
CAUSE  
PROBLEM  
You do not hear the  
programming or  
end-of-cycle tone.  
You have turned off the tone. (See the “Audible signals” section on page 14.)
