Make sure to install your oven in a location with

adequate space.

Remove all foreign substances such as dust or water

from the power plug terminals and contact points

using a dry cloth on a regular basis.

• Unplug the power plug and clean it with a dry

cloth.

• Failing to do so may result in electric shock or ﬁre.

Plug the power cord into a properly grounded

3 pronged outlet. Your oven should be the only

appliance connected to this circuit.

• Sharing a wall socket with other appliances, using

a power strip, or extending the power cord may

result in electric shock or ﬁre.

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

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.

WARNING

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of

electric shock.

oven to a 15A circuit, make sure that circuit breaker

is operable.

Use of Extension Cords

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk

of your becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer

cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available

and you can use them if you exercise care. If you use a

long cord or extension cord:

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.

Do not install this appliance in a humid, oily, or dusty

location, or in a location exposed to direct sunlight or

water (rain drops).

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.

Cookware

Comments

cookware guide

Oven-to-table

ware

Can be used, unless decorated

with a metal trim.

For food to cook in the microwave oven, the

microwaves must be able to penetrate the food

without being reﬂected or absorbed by the dish.

Fine

glassware

Can be used to warm foods or

liquids. Delicate glass may break

or crack if heated suddenly.

It is important to choose the correct cookware,

therefore, look for cookware that is marked

microwave-safe.

The following table lists various types of

cookware and indicates if and how they should

be used in a microwave oven.

Glass jars

Regular glass is too thin to be

used in a microwave, and can

shatter.

moisture.

MICROWAVE-SAFE UTENSILS

Recycled

paper

Do not use recycled paper towels,

which may contain metal and may

catch ﬁre or cause arcing.

If you are not sure whether an item is microwave-safe, you

can perform the following simple test:

1. Place 1 cup of water (in a glass-measuring cup) inside

Plastic

your oven next to the item to be tested.

2. Press the Add 30 sec button twice to heat them both

for one minute at high power.

After one minute, the water should be warm and the item

you are testing should be cool. If the dish is warm, then it

is absorbing microwave energy and is not microwave-safe.

Cling ﬁlm

Can be used to retain moisture.

Avoid wrapping the food too

tightly. Take care when removing

the ﬁlm. Hot steam will escape.

Comments

Aluminum foil

Can be used in small quantities

to protect areas against

overcooking. Arcing can occur

if the foil is too close to the oven

wall or you use too much foil.

Turning

Turn foods over midway through the cooking cycle

to expose all parts to the microwave energy. This is

especially important with large items such as roasts.

cooking guide

Microwave energy actually penetrates food,

attracted and absorbed by the water, fat, and

sugar in the food. The microwaves cause the

molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid

movement of these molecules creates friction

and the resulting heat cooks the food.

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 the cooking process,

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.

GENERAL MICROWAVE TIPS

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.

Foods with a non-porous skin such as potatoes or hot

dogs, should be pierced to prevent bursting.

Putting heating oil or fat in the microwave is not

recommended. Fat and oil can suddenly boil over and

cause severe burns.

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.

Some ingredients heat faster than others. For example,

the jelly in the jelly doughnut will be hotter than the dough.

Keep this in mind to avoid burns.

The altitude and the type of cookware you are using can

aﬀect the cooking time. When trying a new recipe, use the

minimum cooking time and check the food occasionally to

prevent overcooking.

Venting

After covering a dish with plastic wrap, vent the plastic

wrap by turning back one corner to let excess steam

escape.

Home canning in the microwave oven is not

recommended because not all harmful bacteria may be

destroyed by the microwave heating process.

Although microwaves do not heat the cookware, the heat

from the food is often transferred to the cookware. Always

use pot holders when removing food from the microwave

and instruct children to do the same.

Making candy in the microwave is not recommended as

candy can be heated to very high temperatures. Keep this

in mind to avoid injury.

COOKING MEAT

Place the meat fat side down on a microwave-safe

roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish. Use narrow strips

of aluminum foil to shield any bone tips or thin pieces of

meat. Check the temperature in several places before

letting the meat stand the recommended time.

The following temperatures are the removal temperatures.

The temperature of the food will rise during standing time.

COOKING EGGS

You can use your microwave oven to cook eggs. Cook

them until they are just set as they become tough if they

are overcooked.

Never cook eggs in their shells and never warm

up hard-boiled eggs in their shells. Eggs cooked

WARNING

or warmed up in their shells can explode. Always

pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting.

COOKING VEGETABLES

Vegetables should be washed prior to cooking. Usually,

no extra water is needed. When cooking dense vegetables

such as potatoes, carrots, and green beans, 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 halfway through the cooking process.

Always place vegetables such as asparagus and broccoli

with the stems pointing towards the edge of the dish and

Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, squash,

eggplant, etc., should have their skins pierced in several

spots before cooking to prevent them from bursting.

For a more even cooking result, stir or rearrange whole

vegetables halfway through the cook time.

Generally, the denser the food, the longer the standing

time. (The 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.
