Use of Extension Cords
GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to
reduce the risk of becoming entangled in
or tripping over a longer cord. Longer
cord sets or extension cords are
available and may be used if care is
exercised in their use. If a long cord or
extension cord is used:
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 electrical current. This appliance is
equipped with a cord that includes a
grounding wire and a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and grounded.
Plug the three-prong power cord into a
properly grounded outlet of standard
115-120 voltage, 60 Hz. Your oven
should be the only appliance on this
circuit.
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 it
must be plugged into a 3-slot outlet.
3. The longer cord should be arranged
so that it will not drape over the
counter top or tabletop where it can
be pulled on by children or tripped
over accidentally. If you use an
extension cord, the interior light may
flicker and the blower may vary when
the microwave oven is on. Cooking
times may be longer, too.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding
plug can result in a risk of electric
shock. Consult a qualified
electrician or servicer if you do not
understand the grounding
instructions or if you are not sure if
the appliance is properly
WARNING
grounded.
Do not cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the power
cord under any circumstances.

Cooking Instructions
Not Recommended
Cooking Utensils
Recommended Use
•
•
•
•
•
Glass jars and bottles — Regular glass is
too thin to be used in a microwave, and can
shatter.
Paper bags — These are a fire hazard,
except for popcorn bags that are designed
for microwave use.
Styrofoam plates and cups — These can
melt and leave an unhealthy residue on
food.
•
Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and
dishes — Use for heating or cooking.
Microwave browning dish — Use to brown
the exterior of small items such as steaks,
chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions
provided with your browning dish.
Microwavable plastic wrap — Use to
retain steam. Leave a small opening for
some steam to escape and avoid placing it
directly on the food.
•
•
Plastic storage and food containers
—
Containers such as margarine tubs can melt
in the microwave.
Metal utensils — These can damage your
oven. Remove all metal before cooking.
•
•
Wax paper — Use as a cover to prevent
spattering.
Paper towels and napkins — Use for
short-term heating and covering; they
absorb excess moisture and prevent
spattering. Do not use recycled paper
towels, which may contain metal and can
catch fire.
Testing Utensils
If you are not sure whether a dish is
microwave-safe or not, you can perform this
test:
•
•
Paper plates and cups — Use for short-
term heating at low temperatures. Do not
use recycled paper, which may contain
metal and can catch fire.
Thermometers — Use only those labeled
“Microwave Safe” and follow all directions.
Check the food in several places.
Conventional thermometers may be used
once the food has been removed from the
oven.
1
Fill a 1 cup glass measuring cup with water
and put it inside your oven, next to the dish
you want to test.
Limited Use
•
Aluminum foil — Use narrow strips of foil to
prevent overcooking of exposed areas.
Using too much foil can damage your oven,
so be careful.
2
Press the One Minute+ button once to
heat them for one minute at High power.
•
Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware
—
Use these if they are labeled “Microwave
Safe.” If they are not labeled, test them to
make sure they can be used safely. Never
use dishes with metallic trim.
The water should be warm and the dish you
are testing should be cool. If the dish is warm,
then it is absorbing microwave energy and is
not acceptable for use in the microwave.
•
•
Plastic — Use only if labeled “Microwave
Safe.” Other plastics can melt.
Straw, wicker, and wood — Use only for
short-term heating, as they can be
flammable.

Cooking Instructions
Adding Moisture
Microwave energy is attracted to water
molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture
content should be covered or allowed to stand
so that the heat disperses evenly. Add a small
amount of water to dry food to help it cook.
Cooking Techniques
Stirring
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables
while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food
at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy
and heats more quickly, so stir from the
outside to the center. The oven will turn off
when you open the door to stir your food.
General Tips
Arrangement
• Dense foods, such as potatoes, take longer
to heat than lighter foods. Foods with a
delicate texture should be heated at a low
power level to avoid becoming tough.
• Altitude and the type of cookware you are
using can affect cooking time. When using a
new recipe, use the minimum cooking time
and check the food occasionally to prevent
overcooking.
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as
chicken pieces or chops, with the thicker,
meatier parts toward the outside of the
turntable where they receive more microwave
energy. To prevent overcooking, place thin or
delicate parts toward the center of the
turntable.
• Foods with a non-porous skin or shell, such
as potatoes, eggs, or hot dogs, should be
pierced to prevent bursting.
• Frying with heating oil or fat is not
recommended. Fat and oil can suddenly boil
over and cause severe burns.
• Some ingredients heat faster than others.
For example, the jelly inside a jelly doughnut
will be hotter than the dough. Keep this in
mind to avoid burns.
• Home canning in the microwave oven is not
recommended because all harmful bacteria
may not be destroyed by the microwave
heating process.
Shielding
Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil
to prevent overcooking. Areas that need
shielding include poultry wing-tips, the ends of
poultry legs, and corners of square baking
dishes. Use only small amounts of aluminum
foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven.
Turning
Turn foods over midway through cooking to
expose all parts to microwave energy. This is
especially important with large items such as
roasts.
• Although microwaves do not heat the
cookware, the heat is often transferred to the
cookware. Always use pot holders when
removing food from the microwave and
instruct children to do the same.
Standing
Foods cooked in the microwave build up
internal heat and continue to cook for a few
minutes after the oven stops. Let foods stand
to complete cooking, especially foods such as
roasts and whole vegetables. Roasts need
this time to complete cooking in the center
without overcooking the outer areas. All
liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate, should
be shaken or stirred when cooking is
complete. Let liquids stand a moment before
serving. When heating baby food, stir well and
test the temperature before serving.

Guide for Cooking Eggs in Your Microwave
• Never cook eggs in the shell, and never warm hard-cooked eggs in the shell; they can explode.
• Always pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting.
• Cook eggs just until set; they become tough if overcooked.
Guide for Cooking Vegetables in Your Microwave
• Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Often, no extra water is needed. If dense
vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and green beans are being cooked, add about ¼ cup
water.
• Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook faster than larger ones.
• Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or corn on the cob, should be arranged in
a circle on the turntable before cooking. They will cook more evenly if turned over after half the
cooking time.
• Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli with the stem ends pointing towards the
edge of the dish and the tips toward the center.
• When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with a lid or vented microwavable plastic
wrap.
• Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skin
pricked in several spots before cooking to prevent them from bursting.
• For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway through the cooking time.
• Generally, the denser the food, the longer the standing time. (Standing time refers to the time
necessary for dense, large foods and vegetables to finish cooking after they come out of the
oven.) A baked potato can stand on the counter for five minutes before cooking is completed,
while a dish of peas can be served immediately.

Troubleshooting Guide
• Remove any metallic utensils, cookware, or
metal ties. If using foil, use only narrow strips
and allow at least one inch between the foil
and interior oven walls.
Before you call a repair person for your oven,
check this list of possible problems and
solutions.
Neither the oven’s display nor the
oven operate.
• Properly insert the plug into a grounded
outlet.
• If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch,
make sure the wall switch is turned on.
• Remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten
seconds, then plug it in again.
The turntable makes noises or
sticks.
• Clean the turntable, roller ring and oven
floor.
• Make sure the turntable and roller ring are
positioned correctly.
• Reset the circuit breaker or replace any
Using your microwave causes TV
or radio interference.
• This is similar to the interference caused by
other small appliances, such as hair dryers.
Move your microwave further away from
other appliances, like your TV or radio.
blown fuse.
• Plug another appliance into the outlet; if the
other appliance doesn’t work, have a
qualified electrician repair the outlet.
• Plug the oven into a different outlet.
The oven’s display works, but the
power won’t come on.
• Make sure the door is closed securely.
• Check to see if packing material or other
material is stuck to the door seal.
• Check for door damage.
• Press Cancel twice and re-enter all cooking
instructions.
The power goes off before the set
time has elapsed.
• If there has not been a power outage,
remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten
seconds, then plug it in again. If there was a

Appendix
Care and Cleaning
Follow these instructions to clean and care for
your oven.
• Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food
particles and spilled liquids can stick to the
oven walls, causing the oven to work less
efficiently.
• Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp
cloth and mild soap. Do not use harsh
detergents or abrasives.
• To help loosen baked on food particles or
liquids, heat two cups of water (add the juice
of one lemon if you desire to keep the oven
fresh) in a four-cup measuring glass at High
power for five minutes or until boiling. Let
stand in the oven for one or two minutes.
• Remove the glass tray from the oven when
cleaning the oven or tray. To prevent the tray
from breaking, handle it carefully and do not
put it in water immediately after cooking.
Wash the tray carefully in warm sudsy water
or in the dishwasher.
• Clean the outside surface of the oven with
soap and a damp cloth. Dry with a soft cloth.
To prevent damage to the operating parts of
the oven, don’t let water seep into the
openings.
• Wash the door window with very mild soap
and water. Be sure to use a soft 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 operate the oven without food in it;
this can damage the magnetron tube or
glass tray. You may wish to leave a cup of
water in the oven when it is not in use to
prevent damage if the oven is accidentally
turned on.
