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 interlocks.  
• Do not operate the oven if it is damaged.  
It is particularly important that the oven door  
closes properly and that there is no damage to  
the:  
- door (bent),  
- hinges and latches (broken or loosened),  
- door seals and sealing surfaces.  
• Do not place any object between the oven  
front face and the door, or allow soil or  
cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing  
surfaces.  
• The oven should not be adjusted or  
repaired by anyone except properly qualified  
service personnel.  
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
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 electric current. This appliance is  
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire  
and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged  
into an outlet that is properly installed and  
grounded.  
The marked rating of the extension cord shall  
be equal to or greater than the electrical  
rating of the appliance, or . . .  
2. 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 appliance.  
NOTES:  
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to  
reduce the risks resulting from becoming  
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.  
2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are  
available and may be used if care is exercised  
in their use.  
Ensure proper ground  
exists before use  
3. If a long cord or extension cord is used, (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 (3) the longer cord should be  
arranged so that it will not drape over the  
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled  
on by children or tripped over accidentally.  
WARNING  
Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric  
shock. Consult a qualified electrician if the  
grounding instructions are not completely  
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the  
appliance is properly grounded, and either:  
1. 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 recepta-  
cle that will accept the plug on the appliance.

TIPS FOR MICROWAVE COOKING  
BROWNING  
ARRANGEMENT  
Meat and poultry with high fat content cooked for at  
least 10 to 15 minutes will brown lightly. Foods cooked  
a shorter time can be brushed with a browning agent,  
such as Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, or barbecue  
sauce.  
Do not stack food. Arrange in a single layer in the dish  
for more even cooking. Because dense foods cook  
more slowly, place thicker portions of meat, poultry,  
fish, and vegetables toward the outside of the dish.  
TESTING FOR DONENESS  
COVERING  
Foods cook quickly in a microwave oven; test frequently  
for doneness.  
A cover will trap heat and steam and cause the food to  
cook more quickly. Use a lid or microwave-safe plastic  
wrap with one corner folded back to vent the excess  
steam. Lids on glass casseroles can become hot  
during cooking; always handle carefully. Waxed paper  
will prevent the food from splattering in the oven and  
help retain heat. When warming bread items, use  
waxed paper, napkins, or paper towels. To absorb extra  
moisture, wrap sandwiches and fatty foods in paper  
towels.  
STANDING TIME  
Food often needs to stand from 2 to 15 minutes after  
being removed from the oven. Usually, you need to  
cover food during standing time to retain heat. Remove  
most foods when they are slightly undercooked and  
they will finish cooking during standing time. The  
internal temperature of food will rise about 10°F during  
standing time.  
SPACING  
SHIELDING  
Arrange individual foods, such as baked potatoes,  
cupcakes, and hors doeuvres in a circle and at least  
1 inch apart. This will help the food cook more evenly.  
To prevent some portions of rectangular or square  
dishes from overcooking, you may need to shield  
them with small strips of aluminum foil to block the  
microwaves. You can also cover poultry legs and  
wing tips with foil to keep them from overcooking.  
Always keep foil at least 1 inch from oven walls  
to prevent arcing.  
STIRRING  
Stirring blends flavors and redistributes the heat in  
foods. Always stir from the outside toward the center  
of the dish. Food at the outside of the dish heats first.  
PIERCING  
TURNING  
Pierce the shell, skin, or membrane of foods before  
cooking to prevent them from bursting. Foods that  
require piercing include yolks and whites of eggs, hot  
dogs, clams, oysters, and whole vegetables, such as  
potatoes and squash.  
Large foods, such as roasts and whole poultry, should  
be turned so that the top and bottom cook evenly. Also  
turn over chicken pieces and chops.

PRECAUTIONS  
Place the front surface of the door three inches or  
Use thermometers that have been approved for  
microwave oven cooking.  
The turntable must always be in place when you  
operate the oven.  
Do not use your microwave oven to cook eggs in the  
shell. Pressure can build up inside the shell, causing it  
to burst.  
There are several precautions to follow when  
microwaving popcorn:  
Do not pop popcorn, except in a microwave-safe  
container or commercial packages designed for  
microwave ovens.  
Never try to pop popcorn in a paper bag that is not  
microwave-approved.  
more from the countertop edge to avoid accidental  
tipping of the microwave oven during normal use.  
To program the oven, make sure you touch the center  
of each pad firmly since the areas between the pads  
will not activate the oven. A tone will sound each time  
a pad is touched correctly. Do not touch several pads  
at once.  
Do not strike the control panel with silverware,  
cookware, etc. Breakage may occur.  
Always use caution when taking cookware out of the  
oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the cooked food  
and may be hot. See the Cookware Guideearlier in  
this section for more information.  
Do not rinse cookware immediately after cooking. This  
may cause breakage. Also, always allow the turntable  
to cool before removing it from the oven.  
Overcooking may result in smoke and fire.  
Do not repop unpopped kernels.  
Do not reuse popcorn bags.  
Never operate the oven when it is empty. Food or  
water should always be in the oven during operation  
to absorb the microwave energy.  
Do not use the oven to dry newspapers or clothes.  
They may catch fire.  
Listen while corn pops. Stop oven when popping  
slows to 2-3 seconds between pops.  
Do not leave microwave unattended while popping  
corn.  
Follow directions on bag.  
CLEANING  
NOTE: Before cleaning the oven, unplug the power  
cord. If this is impossible, open the oven door to  
prevent an accidental oven start.  
DOOR  
For best performance and safety, the inner door panel  
and the oven front frame should be free of food or  
grease buildup. Wipe often with a mild detergent; then  
rinse and wipe dry. Never use cleaning powders or  
rough pads.  
INTERIOR  
Wipe the oven inside and outside with a soft cloth and  
a mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry. This  
should be done weekly or more often, if needed. Never  
use cleaning powders or rough pads.  
After cleaning the control panel, touch CLEAR to clear  
any entries that might have been entered accidentally  
while cleaning the panel. Also make sure that the  
turntable and rotating ring are in the right position.  
Excessive oil splatters on the inside top will be difficult  
to remove if left for many days. Wipe splatters with a  
wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or  
bacon.  
REMOVABLE PARTS  
The turntable and rotating ring are removable. They  
should be hand-washed in warm (not hot) water with a  
mild detergent and a soft cloth. Once they are clean,  
rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Never use cleaning  
powders, steel wool, or rough pads.  
The turntable may be cleaned at the sink. Be careful  
not to chip or scratch the edges as this may cause  
the turntable to break during use.  
The rotating ring should be cleaned regularly.

*For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat, and  
AUTO DEFROST  
poultry from its original closed paper or plastic  
package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will hold  
steam and juice close to the foods,  
which can cause the outer surface of the foods to  
cook.  
Three defrost sequences are preset in the oven.  
The defrost feature provides you with the best  
defrosting method for frozen foods. The cooking  
guide will show you which defrost sequence is  
recommended for the food you are defrosting.  
With the Auto Defrost feature, the oven  
automatically sets the defrosting time and power  
levels for you.  
*For best results, shape your ground meat into the  
form of a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting,  
scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and  
continue defrosting.  
The oven automatically determines required  
defrosting times for each food item according to  
the weight you enter.  
For added convenience, the Auto Defrost  
includes a built-in beep mechanism that reminds  
you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange.  
*Place foods in a shallow container or on a microwave  
roasting rack to catch drippings.  
*Food should still be somewhat icy in the center when

HEATING/REHEATING GUIDE  
To heat or reheat successfully in a microwave oven, it is important to follow several guidelines. Measure the amount  
of food in order to determine the time needed to reheat. Arrange the food in a circular pattern for best results. Room  
temperature food will heat faster than refrigerated food. Canned foods should be taken out of the can and placed  
in a microwave-safe container. The food will heat more evenly if covered with a microwave-safe lid or vented plas-  
tic wrap. Remove cover carefully to prevent steam burns. Use the following table as a guide for reheating cooked  
food.

Questions and Answers  
Operation  
Answer  
Question  
Why is the oven light not on during  
cooking?  
There may be several reasons why the oven light is not on.  
Have you:  
Set a cook time?  
Touched START?  
Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven  
has been designed to vent this steam.  
Why does steam come out of the air  
exhaust vent?  
Yes. Never operate the oven empty or without the glass turntable.  
Will the microwave oven be damaged if it  
operates empty?  
No. The metal screen bounces the energy back to the oven cavity.  
The holes (or ports) allow only light to pass through. They do not  
let microwave energy pass through.  
Does microwave energy pass through the  
viewing screen in the door?  
The tone tells you that the setting has been entered.  
Why does a tone sound when a pad on the  
control panel is touched?  
Like any other cooking appliance, it is possible to overcook food  
to the point that the food creates smoke and even possibly fire  
and damage to the inside of the oven. It is always best to be near  
the oven while you are cooking.  
Can my microwave oven be damaged if  
food is cooked for too long?  
The microcomputer controlling your oven may temporarily  
become scrambled and fail to function as programmed when you  
plug in for the first time or when power resumes after a power  
interruption. Unplug the oven from the 120-volt household outlet  
and then plug it back in to reset the microcomputer.  
When the oven is plugged into wall outlet  
for the first time, it might not work properly.  
What is wrong?  
This light is from the oven light which is located between the  
oven cavity and the outer wall of the oven.  
Why do I see light reflection around the  
outer case?  
The clicking sound is caused by a mechanical switch turning the  
microwave ovens magnetron ON and OFF.  
What are the various sounds I hear when  
the microwave oven is operating?  
The heavy hum and clunk is from the change in power the  
magnetron draws as it is turned ON and OFF by a mechanical  
switch. The change in blower speed is from the change in line  
voltage caused by the magnetron being turned ON and OFF.  
Food  
Question  
Answer  
A hard, dry, brown spot indicates overcooking. Shorten the  
cooking or reheating time.  
What is wrong when baked foods have a  
hard, dry, brown spot?  
When baking, frying, or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to  
steam build-up inside the yolk membrane. To prevent this,  
simply pierce the yolk before cooking.  
Why do eggs sometimes pop?  
CAUTION: Never microwave eggs in the shell.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
Questions and Answers (continued)  
Food  
Answer  
Question  
Why are scrambled eggs sometimes a  
little dry after cooking?  
Eggs will dry out when they are overcooked, even if the same  
recipe is used each time. The cooking time may need to be varied  
for one of these reasons:  
Eggs vary in size.  
Eggs are at room temperature one time and at refrigerator  
temperature another time.  
Eggs continue cooking during standing time.  
Is it possible to pop popcorn in a  
microwave oven?  
Yes, if using one of the two methods described below:  
(1) microwave-popping devices designed specifically for  
microwave cooking  
(2) prepackaged commercial microwave popcorn that is made  
for specific times and power output needed  
Follow exact directions given by each manufacturer for  
its popcorn popping product and do not leave the oven  
unattended while the corn is being popped. If corn fails  
to pop after the suggested time, discontinue cooking.  
Overcooking could result in an oven fire.  
CAUTION:  
Never use a brown paper bag for popping corn or attempt  
to pop leftover kernels.  
Do not pop prepackaged commercial microwave popcorn  
directly on the glass turntable. To avoid excessive heating  
of the glass turntable, place the popcorn bag on a plate.  
Listen while corn pops. Stop oven when popping slows to  
2-3 seconds between pops.  
Do not leave microwave unattended while popping corn.  
Follow directions on bag.  
The peel has not been removed from the top half of each apple to  
allow for expansion of the interior of the apple during cooking. As  
in conventional cooking methods, the interior of the apple expands  
during the cooking process.  
Why do baked apples sometimes burst  
during cooking?  
Why do baked potatoes sometimes  
burn during cooking?  
If the cooking time is too long, fire could result. At the end of the  
recommended cooking time, potatoes should be slightly firm.  
CAUTION: Do not overcook.  
Why is a standing time recommended  
after microwave cooking time is over?  
Standing time allows foods to continue cooking evenly for a few  
minutes after the actual microwave oven cooking cycle. The  
amount of standing time depends upon the density of the foods.  
Why is additional time required for  
cooking food stored in the refrigerator?  
As in conventional cooking, the initial temperature of food affects  
total cooking time. You need more time to cook food taken out of a  
refrigerator than for food at room temperature.
