INFORMATION  
Please read this owner’s manual. It will tell you how  
to use all the fine features of this microwave oven.  
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
This appliance must be grounded. If an electrical  
short circuit occurs, grounding reduces the risk of  
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the  
electric current. The cord for this appliance has a  
grounding wire with a grounding plug. Put the plug into  
an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

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.  
Because this appliance fits under the cabinet, it has a  
short power-supply cord. See the separate Installation  
Instructions for directions on properly placing the cord.  
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.

automatically sets the defrosting times for each food  
item according to the weight you enter. For added  
convenience, the AUTO DEFROST includes a built-in  
tone mechanism that reminds you to check, turn over,  
separate, or rearrange the food during the defrost  
cycle. Three different defrosting options are provided.

and Fish are 0.1 to 6.0 lbs.  
DEFROSTING TIPS  
Example: To defrost 1.2 lbs of meat.  
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).  
AUTO  
DEFROST  
1. Touch AUTO DEFROST.  
Use AUTO DEFROST only for raw food. AUTO  
DEFROST gives best results when food to be  
thawed is a minimum of 0 F (taken directly from a  
true freezer). If food has been stored in a  
refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a  
temperature of 5F or below, always program a  
lower food weight (for a shorter defrosting time)  
to prevent cooking the food.  
2. Enter the weight.  
1 2  
3. Touch START/ENTER.  
If the food is stored outside the freezer for up to  
20 minutes, enter a lower food weight.  
The shape of the package alters the defrosting  
time. Shallow rectangular packets defrost more  
quickly than a deep block.  
NOTE:  
After you touch START/ENTER, the display counts  
down the defrost time. The oven will beep once  
during the defrost cycle. At this time, open the door  
and turn, separate, or rearrange the food as needed.  
Remove any portions that have thawed then return  
frozen portions to the oven and touch START/ENTER  
to resume the defrost cycle.  
Separate pieces as they begin to defrost.  
Separated pieces defrost more easily.  
You can use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield  
shieldfoods like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish  
tailsbut the foil must not touch the side of the  
oven.Foil causes arcing, which can damage the  
oven lining.  
The oven will not stop during the beep unless  
the door is opened.  
Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if  
they start to become warm.  
For even, complete defrosting, use the defrosting  
rack.  
WEIGHT CONVERSION CHART  
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  
you can use the following chart to convert the weight  
to decimals.  
For best results, elevate food to be defrosted on  
a microwave safe roasting rack. This prevents  
the possibility of warm meat juices cooking food  
during defrost.

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.  
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.  
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.  
Natural Moisture: Very moist foods cook more  
evenly because microwave energy is attracted to  
water molecules.  
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.  
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.  
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.

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.  
Meat  
Cooking Meat: General Directions  
• Prepare the meat for cooking.  
- Defrost completely.  
- 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.  
- 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.  
• 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.  
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.  
• 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.  
The Meat Cooking Table on the next page provides  
detailed directions, Power Level, and Cooking Time  
settings for most cuts of meat.

COOKING  
Pasta And Rice  
Microwave cooking and conventional cooking of pasta,  
rice, and cereal require about the same amount of time,  
but the microwave is a more convenient method  
because you can cook and serve in the same dish.  
There is no stirring needed and leftover pasta tastes  
just like fresh cooked when reheated in the microwave  
oven.  
Cooking Pasta and Rice: Tips and Techniques  
• If you are planning to use rice or pasta in a casserole,  
undercook it so it is still firm.  
• Allow for standing time with rice, but not for pasta.

MAINTENANCE  
3. To reinstall the filters, slide it into the side slot, then  
push up and forward 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.  
NOTE: Do not operate the hood without the filter in  
place.  
CHARCOAL FILTER REPLACEMENT

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS  
supply.  
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.  
2. Remove the bulb cover mounting screws.  
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.  
3. Replace bulb(s) with 30 watt appliance bulb(s).  
4. Replace bulb cover, and mount screw.  
5. Turn the power back on at the main power supply.  
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.  
OVEN LIGHT REPLACEMENT  
1. Unplug oven or turn off power at the main power  
supply.  
2. Remove the vent cover mounting screws. (2 middle  
screws)  
3. Tip the cover forward, then lift out to remove.  
Q. What are the humming noises that I hear when  
my microwave oven is operating?  
A. You hear the sound of the transformer when the  
magnetron tube cycles on and off.  
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  
manufacturer’s 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 manufacturer’s directions. Do not  
pop popcorn in glass utensils.  
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.  
5. Replace bulb with a 30 or 40 watt appliance bulb.  
6. Replace the bulb holder.  
7. Slide the top of the vent cover into place. Push the  
bottom until it snaps into place. Replace the  
mounting screws. Turn the power back on at the  
main power supply.

MAINTENANCE  
You may microwave in many more utensils than you can use on the stove or in a conventional oven, because  
microwaves penetrate them safely still cooking the food.  
Below are listed the utensils you can safely cook with and those you must avoid. To test whether you can safely  
with a utensil not on the lists below, do the following:  
1. Place the utensil empty in the microwave oven.  
2. Measure 1 cup of water in a glass measuring cup and place in the oven beside the utensil.  
3. Microwave on HI Power for 1 minute.  
4. If the utensil is warm to the touch at the end of this time, you should not use it for microwave cooking.  
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.
