READ ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS MICROWAVE
WARNING - to reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave
energy, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the microwave oven.
2. This microwave must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlets. See page 4 for Grounding
Instructions.
3. Install or place this microwave only in accordance with installation instructions.
4. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See "GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS " on page 4.
5. Some items such as whole eggs and sealed containers-for example, closed glass jars - are able to explode and
should not be heated in this oven.
6. This microwave is intended for use only as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in
this microwave. This type of microwave is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry foods. It is not designed for
laboratory use.
7. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
8. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity, do not overcook food. Carefully attend to the microwave when paper,
plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the microwave to facilitate cooking.
9. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing in microwave.
10. If materials inside the microwave should ignite, keep microwave door closed, turn it off, and disconnect the power
cord or turn off the power fuse at the circuit breaker panel. Do not use the microwave cavity for storage purposes.
11. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.
12. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea may overheat beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling due
to surface tension of the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave is
not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN A
SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury: do not overheat the
liquid; stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating; do not use straight-sided containers with narrow
necks; after heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave a short time before removing; use extreme
care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.
13. Do not heat oil or fat for deep-frying in this microwave. It is difficult to control the temperature of oil in the
microwave.
14. Pierce foods with heavy skins, such as potatoes, before cooking.
15. The contents of feeding bottles and baby jars should be stirred or shaken and the temperature should be checked
before serving to avoid burns.
16. Cooking utensils may become hot from heat transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may be needed to
handle these utensils.
17. Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave.
18. Do not store or use this microwave outdoors. Do not use this microwave near water, for example, near a kitchen
sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or similar location.
19. Do not operate this microwave if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been
damaged or dropped.
20. Do not immerse the cord or plug in water. Keep cord away from heated surfaces. Do not let the cord hang over
the edge of the table or counter.

RECOMMENDED
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.
Microwaveable plastic wrap
-- Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some steam to escape and avoid
placing it directly on the food.
Paper towels and napkins
-- Use for short-term heating and covering; these absorb excess moisture and prevent
splattering. Do not use recycled paper towels which may contain metal and could ignite.
Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes
-- Use for heating and cooking.
Paper plates and cups
-- Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do not use recycled paper which may
contain metal and could ignite.
Wax paper
-- Use as a cover to prevent splattering.
Thermometers
--
Use only those labeled “Microwave Safe” and follow all directions. Check the food in several
places. Conventional thermometers may be used on microwaved food once the food has been removed from the
microwave.
LIMITED USE
Aluminum foil
-- Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking exposed areas. Using too much foil can damage
your microwave, so be careful. Keep
1” between aluminum foil and cavity.
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.
Plastic
--
Only use if labeled “Microwave Safe”. Other plastics may melt.
NOT RECOMMENDED
Glass jars and bottles
-- Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave. It can shatter and cause damage and
injury.
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 unhealthy residue on food.
Plastic storage and food containers
-- Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the microwave.
Metal utensils
-- These can damage your microwave. Remove all metal before cooking.
NOTE:
Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the microwave and microwave
on high for 30 seconds. A dish that becomes very hot should not be used.
COOKING UTENSILS GUIDE (continued)
12
Your microwave makes cooking easier than conventional cooking, provided you keep these considerations in mind:
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 quicker, so stir from the outside to the center.
The microwave will turn off when you open the door to stir your food.
ARRANGEMENT
Arrange evenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with the thicker, meatier parts towards the
outside of the turntable where they receive more microwave energy.
To prevent overcooking, place delicate areas, such as asparagus tips, towards the center of the turntable.
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, as larger amounts may damage your microwave.
TURNING
Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to microwave energy.
This is especially important when cooking large foods such as roasts.
STANDING
Foods cooked in a microwave build up internal heat and continue to cook for a few minutes after heating stops.
Let foods stand to complete cooking, especially for foods such as cakes 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.
When heating baby food, stir well after removing from microwave and test temperature before serving.
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
13
1. Turn off the microwave and unplug the power cord from the wall socket when cleaning.
2. Keep the inside of the microwave clean. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to microwave walls, wipe
with a damp cloth. Mild detergents may be used if the microwave gets very dirty. Avoid using spray or other harsh
cleaners. They may stain, streak, or dull the door surface.
3. The outside of the microwave should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts
inside the microwave, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.
4. Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any spills or splatters.
5. Do not allow the control panel to become wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. When cleaning the panel, leave the
microwave door open to prevent it from accidentally turning on.
6. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when the
microwave is operated under high humidity. This is normal.
7. It may be necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm, soapy water or in a
dishwasher. The roller ring and microwave floor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. Wipe the
bottom surface of the microwave with a mild detergent.
8. The roller ring may be washed in mild, soapy water or in a dishwasher. When removing the roller ring, be sure to
replace it in the proper position.
9. Remove odors from your microwave by combining a cup of water with the juice and skin of one lemon in a
microwaveable bowl. Microwave for 5 minutes. Wipe thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
10. If the light bulb burns out, please contact customer service (1-800-324-0340) to have it replaced.
11. The microwave should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits should be removed. Failure to maintain the
microwave in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of surfaces that could adversely affect the life of the
unit and could possibly result in a hazardous situation.
12. Please do not dispose of this appliance into a regular garbage receptacle. Please check to see where you can
dispose such appliances.
Before asking for service, please check each item below:
Check to ensure the microwave is plugged in securely. If not, remove the plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds,
and plug it in again securely.
Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. If these seem to be operating properly, test the
outlet with another appliance.
Check to ensure the control panel is programmed correctly and the timer is set.
Check to ensure the door is securely closed, engaging the door lock system. If the door is not properly closed,
the microwave energy will not flow inside.
