authorized service facility  
for examination, repair  
or adjustment.  
Keep power cord away from  
heated surfaces.  
Do not immerse power cord  
or plug in water.  
— Remove wire twist-ties and  
metal handles from paper or  
plastic containers before  
placing them in the oven.  
As with any appliance, close

or shut off power at the fuse  
or circuit breaker panel. If  
the door is opened, the fire  
may spread.  
— Do not use the Sensor

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICROWAVING  
Avoid heating baby food  
in glass jars, even with the  
lid off. Make sure all infant  
food is thoroughly cooked.  
Stir food to distribute the  
heat evenly. Be careful to  
prevent scalding when  
warming formula or breast  
milk. The container may  
feel cooler than the milk  
really is. Always test the  
milk before feeding  
Do not overcook potatoes.  
They could dehydrate and  
catch  
fire, causing damage  
to your oven.  
SAFETY FACT  
SUPERHEATED WATER  
Liquids, such as water,  
coffee or tea, are able to  
be overheated beyond the  
boiling point without  
appearing to be boiling.  
Visible bubbling or boiling  
when the container is  
removed from the  
microwave oven is not  
always present. THIS  
COULD RESULT  
IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS

WHEN THE CONTAINER IS  
DISTURBED OR A SPOON

INSERTED INTO THE

Cook meat and poultry  
thoroughly—meat to  
at least an INTERNAL  
temperature of 160°F  
and poultry to at least an  
INTERNAL temperature  
of 180°F. Cooking to these  
temperatures usually  
protects against  
the baby.  
Don’t defrost frozen  
beverages in narrow-  
necked bottles (especially  
carbonated beverages).  
Even if the container is  
opened, pressure can  
build up. This can cause  
the container to burst,  
possibly resulting in injury.  
foodborne illness.  
Hot foods and steam  
can cause burns. Be  
careful when opening  
any containers of hot  
food, including popcorn  
bags, cooking pouches  
and boxes. To prevent  
possible injury, direct  
steam away from hands  
and face.  
To reduce the risk of injury to  
persons:  
— Do not overheat the liquid.  
— Stir the liquid both before  
and halfway through  
heating it.  
— Do not use straight- sided  
containers with narrow  
necks.  
— After heating, allow the  
container to stand in the  
microwave oven  
for a short time before  
removing the container.  
— Use extreme care when  
inserting a spoon or other  
utensil into the container.

in your microwave oven is  
suitable for microwaving.

If they are not, plastic could

after cooking, possibly  
resulting in injury. Also,  
plastic storage containers  
should be at least partially  
uncovered because they  
form a tight seal. When  
cooking with containers  
tightly covered with plastic  
wrap, remove covering  
carefully and direct steam  
away from hands and face.  
How to test for a microwave-  
safe dish.  
If you are not sure if  
a dish is microwave-safe,  
use this test: Place in the  
oven both the dish you  
are testing and a glass  
measuring cup filled with  
1 cup of water—set the  
measuring cup either  
in or next to the dish.  
Microwave 1 minute at high.

(like those that meat is  
packaged on) have a thin

with a power cord having  
a grounding wire with a  
grounding plug. The plug  
must be plugged into an  
outlet that is properly

installed and grounded.  
Do not use an extension  
cord with this appliance.  
If the power cord is too  
short, have a qualified  
electrician or service  
technician install an outlet  
near the appliance.  
Consult a qualified  
electrician or service  
technician if the grounding  
instructions  
are not completely  
understood, or if doubt  
exists as to whether the  
appliance is properly  
grounded.  
WARNING  
Improper use of the  
grounding plug can result  
in a risk of electric shock.  
For best operation, plug this  
appliance into its own  
electrical outlet to prevent  
flickering of lights, blowing  
of fuse or tripping of circuit  
breaker.  
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.  
If the outlet is a standard  
2-prong wall outlet, it is your  
personal responsibility and  
obligation to have it  
replaced with a properly  
grounded 3-prong wall  
outlet.

heat to the inside of the

Time Features  
Time Defrost  
Allows you to defrost for the  
length of time you select. See  
the Defrosting Guide for  
suggested times.  
Defrosting Tips  
Foods frozen in paper or  
plastic can be defrosted in  
the package. Tightly closed  
packages should be slit,  
pierced or vented AFTER food  
has partially defrosted. Plastic  
storage containers should be  
at least partially uncovered.  
Power level 3 is automatically  
set, but you may change this  
for more flexibility. You may  
defrost small items more  
quickly by raising the power  
level after entering the time.  
However, they will need more  
frequent attention than usual.  
Family-size, prepackaged  
frozen dinners can be  
defrosted and microwaved. If  
the food is in a foil container,  
transfer it to a microwave-  
safe dish.  
Power level 7 cuts the total  
defrosting time in about half;  
power level 10 cuts the total  
time to approximately 1/3.  
Rotate or stir food frequently.  
1 Press DEFROST  
AUTO/TIME twice.  
Foods that spoil easily, such  
as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings,  
poultry and pork, should not  
be allowed to sit out  
for more than one hour after

temperature promotes the  
growth of harmful bacteria.  
5 Press START.  
(Auto Defrost explained  
in the section on  
Convenience Features.)  
For more even defrosting of  
larger foods, such as beef,  
lamb and veal roasts, use  
Auto Defrost.  
A dull thumping noise may  
be heard during defrosting. This  
sound is normal when the oven  
is not operating at High power.  
Be sure large meats are  
completely defrosted before  
cooking.  
When defrosted, food should  
be cool but softened in all  
areas. If still slightly icy, return  
to the microwave very briefly,  
or let it stand a few minutes  
.

Microwave Terms  
Term  
Definition  
Arcing  
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is  
caused by:  
the metal shelf being installed incorrectly and touching the  
microwave walls.  
metal or foil touching the side of the oven.  
foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like  
antennas).  
metal such as twist ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes.  
recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.  
Covering  
Shielding  
Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce  
cooking time. Venting plastic wrap or covering with wax paper  
allows excess steam to escape.  
In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to  
prevent over-browning. When microwaving, you use small strips  
of foil to shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs on  
poultry, which would cook before larger parts.  
Standing Time  
Venting  
When you cook with regular ovens, foods such as roasts or cakes  
are allowed to stand to finish cooking or to set. Standing time is  
especially important in microwave cooking. Note that a microwaved  
cake is not placed on a cooling rack.  
After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by  
turning back one corner so excess steam can escape.
