ARCING  
If you see arcing, press the CLEAR/OFF pad and correct  
the problem.  
Arcing is the microwave term  
for sparks in the oven. Arcing is  
caused by:  
Metal, such as twist-ties,  
poultry pins, or gold-rimmed  
dishes, in the microwave.

FOODS  
Do not pop popcorn in your  
microwave oven unless in a  
special microwave popcorn  
accessory or unless you use  
popcorn labeled for use in  
microwave ovens.  
Operating the microwave  
with no food inside for more  
than a minute or two may  
cause damage to the oven  
and could start a fire. It  
increases the heat around the  
magnetron and can shorten  
the life of the oven.

containers—for example,  
closed jars—will explode and  
should not be heated in this  
microwave oven. Such use of  
the microwave oven could  
result in injury.  
Foods with unbroken outer  
“skin” such as potatoes, hot  
dogs, sausages, tomatoes,  
apples, chicken livers and  
other giblets, and egg yolks  
should be pierced to allow  
steam to escape during  
cooking.

Spontaneous boiling—Under  
certain special circumstances,  
liquids may start to boil  
during or shortly after  
removal from the microwave  
oven. To prevent burns from  
splashing liquid, we  
recommend the following:  
before removing the  
container from the oven,  
allow the container to stand  
in the oven for 30 to 40  
SUPERHEATED WATER  
mtaion  
Microwaved water and other  
liquids do not always bubble  
when they reach the boiling  
point. They can actually get  
superheated and not bubble  
at all.  
OepaigInstr  
Superheated liquid will bubble  
up out of the cup when it is  
moved or when something like  
a spoon or tea bag is put into it.  
seconds after the oven has  
shut off. Do not boil liquids  
in narrow-necked containers  
such as soft drink bottles,  
wine flasks and especially  
narrow-necked coffee cups.  
Even if the container is  
opened, excessive steam can  
build up and cause it to burst  
or overflow.  
To prevent this from happening  
and causing injury, do not heat  
any liquid for more than 2  
minutes per cup. After heating,  
let the cup stand in the  
microwave for 30 seconds  
before moving it or putting  
anything into it.

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. The container may  
feel cooler than the formula  
really is. Always test the  
formula before feeding  
the baby.  
ulbeshotingT  
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.  
isp  
Do not overcook potatoes.  
They could dehydrate and  
catch fire, causing damage to  
your oven.  
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.  
CsutomSer  
When cooking pork, follow  
the directions exactly and  
always cook the meat to an  
internal temperature of at  
least 170°F. This assures that,  
in the remote possibility that  
trichina may be present in  
the meat, it will be killed and  
meat will be safe to eat.

MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE  
Make sure all cookware used in  
your microwave oven is suitable  
for microwaving. Most glass  
casseroles, cooking dishes,  
measuring cups, custard cups,  
pottery or china dinnerware  
which does not have metallic  
trim or glaze with a metallic

WARNING!  
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of  
electric shock.  
SaetyInfor  
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.  
uctions  
This appliance is equipped 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.  
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.  
OpeaigInstr  
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.  
ips  
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground)  
prong from the power cord.  
We do not recommend using 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. (See WARNING—  
EXTENSION CORDS section.)

ADAPTER PLUGS  
Usage situations where appliances power cord will be disconnected  
infrequently.  
Because of potential safety  
hazards under certain conditions,  
(Adapter plugs not  
we strongly recommend against the  
use of an adapter plug. However, if  
you still elect to use an adapter,  
where local codes permit, a  
permitted in Canada)  
OepaigInstr  
Align large  
prongs/slots  
TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be  
made to a properly grounded two-  
prong wall receptacle by the use of a  
UL listed adapter which is available  
at most local hardware stores.  
Ensure proper ground  
and firm connection  
before use.  
TEMPORARY  
METHOD  
utcions  
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in  
the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of  
the power cord.  
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle  
cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is  
metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through  
the house wiring.  
T
r
ulbeshotingT  
You should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to  
make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.  
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold  
the adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground  
terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should this  
happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has again  
been established.  
isp  
Usage situations where appliances power cord will be disconnected  
frequently.  
CsutomSer  
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because frequent  
disconnection of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter  
and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. You  
should have the two-prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-  
prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before  
using the appliance.

from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.  
Extension cords may be used if you are careful in using them.  
If an extension cord is used—  
uctions  
The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at  
least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;

uctions  
Variable power levels add flexibility to microwave  
cooking. The power levels on the microwave oven can  
be compared to the surface units on a range. Each  
power level gives you microwave energy a certain  
percent of the time. Power level 7 is microwave energy  
70% of the time. Power level 3 is energy 30% of the  
time. Most cooking will be done on High (power level 10)  
which gives you 100% power. Power level 10 will cook  
faster but food may need more frequent stirring,  
rotating or turning over. A lower setting will cook more  
evenly and need less stirring or rotating of the food.  
Some foods may have better flavor, texture or  
OpeaigInstr  
ips  
appearance if one of the lower settings is used. Use  
a lower power level when cooking foods that have a  
tendency to boil over, such as scalloped potatoes.  
Rest periods (when the microwave energy cycles off)  
give time for the food to “equalize” or transfer heat to  
the inside of the food. An example of this is shown with  
power level 3—the defrost cycle. If microwave energy did  
not cycle off, the outside of the food would cook before  
the inside was defrosted.

Defrosting Tips  
Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted in  
the package. Closed packages should be slit, pierced  
or vented AFTER food has partially defrosted. Plastic  
storage containers should be partially uncovered.  
ips  
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.  
Foods that spoil easily should not be allowed to sit  
out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room  
temperature promotes the growth of harmful  
bacteria.  
ubleshotingT  
r
T
For more even defrosting of larger foods, such  
as roasts, use Auto Defrost. Be sure large meats  
are completely defrosted before cooking.  
vice  
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.

Definition  
Arcing  
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is  
caused by:  
metal or foil touching the side of the oven.  
OepaigInstr  
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.  
utcions  
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.  
T
r
ulbeshotingT  
Standing Time 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.  
Venting  
After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by  
turning back one corner so excess steam can escape.
