made any needed repairs.  
Location Requirements  
Electrical Shock Hazard  
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.  
Do not remove ground prong.  
Do not use an adapter.  
WARNING  
Do not use an extension cord.  
Failure to follow these instructions can result in  
death, fire, or electrical shock.  
Fire Hazard  
Observe all governing codes and ordinances. A 120 Volt, 60 Hz,  
AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused electrical supply (or circuit breaker)  
is required. (A time-delay fuse is recommended.) It is  
recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance  
be provided.  
Do not install oven next to or over a heat source  
without a UL approved (CSA approved in Canada)  
trim kit.  
Doing so can result in death, fire, or  
electrical shock.  
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
For all cord connected appliances:  
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.  
WARNING  
Excessive Weight Hazard  
Use two or more people to move and install  
microwave oven.  
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.  
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 understood, or if doubt exists as to  
whether the microwave oven is properly grounded.  
IMPORTANT: The control side of the unit is the heavy side.  
Handle the microwave oven gently. The weight of the microwave  
oven is more than 35 lbs (15.9 kg).  
Place the microwave oven on a cart, counter, table or shelf  
that is strong enough to hold the microwave oven and the  
food and utensils you place inside it.  
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 should be at a temperature above 50°F  
(10°C) for proper operation.  
NOTE: Some models can be built into a wall or cabinet by using  
one of the trim kits listed in the “Microwave Oven Built-In Trim Kit  
Installation Instructions.”  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
Do not block the exhaust vents or air intake openings. Allow a  
few inches of space at the back of the microwave oven where  
the exhaust vents are located. Blocking the exhaust vents  
could cause damage to the microwave oven, as well as poor  
cooking results.

MICROWAVE OVEN USE  
A magnetron in the oven produces microwaves which reflect off  
the metal floor, walls and ceiling and pass through the turntable  
and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are attracted  
to and absorbed by fat, sugar and water molecules in the food,  
causing them to move, producing friction and heat which cooks  
the food.  
Cooking Guidelines  
Covering  
Covering food helps retain moisture, shorten cook time and  
reduce spattering. Use the lid supplied with cookware. If a lid is  
not available, wax paper, paper towels or plastic wrap approved  
for microwave ovens may be used. Plastic wrap should be turned  
back at one corner to provide an opening to vent steam.  
Condensation on the door and cavity surfaces is normal during  
heavy cooking.  
Do not lean on or allow children to swing on the microwave  
oven door.  
Do not operate microwave oven when it is empty.  
The turntable must be in place and correct side up when  
microwave oven is in use. Do not use if turntable is chipped  
or broken. See “Assistance or Service” section to reorder.  
Stirring and Turning  
Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in  
microwave oven.  
Stirring and turning redistribute heat evenly to avoid overcooking  
the outer edges of food. Stir from outside to center. If possible,  
turn food over from bottom to top.  
Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including  
brown paper bags and newspaper, should not be dried in  
microwave oven.  
Arranging  
If heating irregularly shaped or different sized foods, arrange the  
thinner parts and smaller sized items toward the center. If  
cooking several items of the same size and shape, place them in  
a ring pattern, leaving the center of the ring empty.  
Do not use the microwave oven for canning, sterilizing or  
deep frying. The microwave oven cannot maintain  
appropriate temperatures.  
Paraffin wax will not melt in the microwave oven because it  
does not absorb microwaves.  
Piercing  
Before heating, use a fork or small knife to pierce or prick foods  
that have a skin or membrane, such as potatoes, egg yolks,  
chicken livers, hot dogs, and sausage. Prick in several places to  
allow steam to vent.  
Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from  
microwave oven.  
Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended  
cook time, potatoes should be slightly firm. Let potatoes  
stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.  
Shielding  
Use small, flat pieces of aluminum foil to shield the thin pieces of  
irregularly shaped foods, bones and foods such as chicken  
wings, leg tips and fish tail. See “Aluminum Foil and Metal” first.  
Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam  
buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst. Cover  
poached eggs and allow a standing time.  
Standing Time  
Food will continue to cook by the natural conduction of heat even  
after the microwave cooking cycle ends. The length of standing  
time depends on the volume and density of the food.  
Food Characteristics  
When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting  
temperature, composition and density of the food affect cooking  
results.  
Cookware and Dinnerware  
Amount of Food  
The more food heated at once, the longer the cook time. Check  
for doneness and add small increments of time if necessary.  
Cookware and dinnerware must fit on the turntable. Always use  
oven mitts or pot holders when handling because any dish may  
become hot from heat transferred from the food. Do not use  
cookware and dinnerware with gold or silver trim. Use the  
following chart as a guide, then test before using.  
Size and Shape  
Smaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger pieces,  
and uniformly shaped foods cook more evenly than irregularly  
shaped food.  
MATERIAL  
RECOMMENDATIONS  
Aluminum Foil,  
Metal  
See “Aluminum Foil and Metal” section.  
Starting Temperature  
Room temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated foods,  
and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods.  
Browning Dish  
Bottom must be at least 3/16" (5 mm)  
above the turntable. Follow manufacturer’s  
recommendations.  
Composition and Density  
Ceramic Glass,  
Glass  
Acceptable for use.  
Foods high in fat and sugar will reach a higher temperature, and  
will heat faster than other foods. Heavy, dense foods, such as  
meat and potatoes, require a longer cook time than the same size  
of a light, porous food, such as cake.

from the food and automatically sets a reheat time based on the  
selection. Use the following chart as a guide.

microwave oven can be manually set to defrost. To defrost  
manually, use 30% cook power. Refer to a reliable cookbook for  
defrosting information.
