IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

WARNING
To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave energy:
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

• Read all instructions before using this appliance.
• Read and follow the specific precautions in the PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY section.
• Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This microwave oven is specifically designed to heat, dry or cook food, and is not intended for laboratory or industrial use.
• This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.

INSTALLATION

• Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.
• This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to a properly grounded outlet. See the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS section.
• Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.
• Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not immerse the power cord or plug in water.
• Do not cover or block any opening on the appliance.
• Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water – for example, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or in a similar location.
• Do not mount over a sink.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE IN THE CAVITY:

• Do not overcook food. Carefully attend to appliances when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven while cooking.
• Remove wire twist-ties and metal handles from paper or plastic containers before placing them in the oven.
• If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
• Do not store any materials in the oven when not in use. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use. All racks should be removed from the oven when not in use.
• Do not operate the microwave feature without food in the oven.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF BURNS

• Be careful when opening containers of hot food. Use pot holders and direct steam away from the face and hands.
• Vent, pierce, or slit containers, pouches, or plastic bags to prevent the build-up of pressure.
• Be careful when touching the turntable, door, rack, or walls of the oven which may become hot during use.
• HOT CONTENTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS. DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO USE THE MICROWAVE. Use caution when removing hot items

OPERATING

•  As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
• Do not operate the oven without the turntable in place. The turntable must be unrestricted so it can turn.
• 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 sheen can be used in compliance with cookware manufacturers’ recommendations.
• Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave surface when the microwave is in operation.
• Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers – for example, closed jars – are able to explode and should not be heated in the microwave oven.
• Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and catch fire.
• Do not cover any other part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.
• 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 foodborne illness.
• This oven is not approved or tested for marine use.

CLEANING

• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
• Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn off the pad and touch electrical parts involving the risk of electric shock.
• When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that comes together on closing the door, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps, or detergents applied with a clean sponge or soft cloth. Rinse well.

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 SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
• 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.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

(a) Do Not Attempt to operate this oven with the door open since an open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.
(b) Do Not Place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
(c) Do Not Operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close properly and that there is no damage to the:
(1) door (bent),
(2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened),
(3) door seals and sealing surfaces.
(d) The Oven Should Not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

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. 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.

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. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Do not use an extension cord. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance. For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical outlet to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of the circuit breaker.

NOTICE: PACEMAKERS
Most pacemakers are shielded from interference from electronic products, including microwaves. However, patients with pacemakers may wish to consult their physicians if they have concerns.

OVEN FEATURES

CONTROLS
You can microwave by time or with the convenience features.
Control buttons’ functions are explained on the following pages.

POWER LEVEL
The power level may be entered or changed immediately after entering the feature time for Cook Time the power level may also be changed during the cooking.

1. Press Cook Time and enter cooking time.
2. Press the Power Level button and select power levels 1-10.
3. Press the Start/Pause button to start cooking.

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
Power level 10 which gives you 100% power. Power Level 10 will cook faster but the 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 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
the outside of the food would cook before the inside was defrosted.
Here are some examples of uses for various power levels:
Power Level 10: Fish, bacon, vegetables, heating liquids.
Med-High 7: Gentle cooking of meat and poultry; baking casseroles and reheating.
Medium 5: Slow cooking and tenderizing for stews and less tender cuts of meat.
Low 2 or 3: Defrosting; simmering; delicate sauces.
Warm 1: Keeping food warm; softening butter.

TIME FEATURES
COOK TIME

TIME AND AUTO FEATURES

TIME DEFROST
Time Defrost allows you to defrost for a selected length of time. See the Defrosting Guide for suggested times.

1. Press Defrost twice (display must show Time Defrost).
2. Enter defrosting time.
3. Press Start/Pause.

When the oven signals, turn food over and break apart or rearrange pieces for more even defrosting. Shield any warm areas with small pieces of foil. The oven will continue to defrost if you don’t open the door and turn the food.
The power level is automatically set at 3, but can be changed. You can defrost small items quickly by raising the power level after entering the time. Power level 7 cuts the total defrosting time in about half; power level 10 cuts the total time to approximately 1/3. However, food will need more frequent attention than usual. A dull thumping noise may be heard during defrosting. This is normal when the oven is not operating at High power.

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.
• 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.
• For more even defrosting of larger foods, such as roasts, use Defrost Weight. Be sure large meats are completely defrosted before cooking.
• 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.
• 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 for a few minutes.

WEIGHT DEFROST

Weight defrost automatically sets the defrosting times and power levels to give even defrosting results for meats, poultry and fish weighing up to six pounds

1. Press Defrost (display must show Weight Defrost).
2. Using the conversion guide, enter food weight. For example, press pads 1 and 2 for 1.2 pounds (1 pound, 3 ounces).
3. Press Start/Pause.

There is a cooking guide located on the inside front of the oven.

• Remove meat from package and place on microwave-safe dish.
• When the oven signals, turn the food over. Remove defrosted meat or shield warm areas with small pieces of foil.
• After defrosting, most meats need to stand 5 minutes to complete defrosting. Large roasts should stand for about 30 minutes.

If the weight of food is stated in pounds and ounces, the ounces must be converted to tenths (.1) of a pound.

SENSOR FEATURES

HUMIDITY SENSOR
The Sensor Features detect the increasing humidity released during cooking. The oven automatically adjusts the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.

Do not use the Sensor Features twice in succession on the or burnt food. Be sure to let the oven cool down for 5-10 minutes before starting the next sensor cook. If food is undercooked after the countdown, use Cook Time for additional cooking time.

• The proper containers and covers are essential for best sensor cooking.

• Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Never use tight sealing plastic containers – they can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.

• Be sure the outside of the cooking containers and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.

SENSOR FEATURES
SENSOR COOK

MICROWAVE TERMS

ARCING

• 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, and gold-rimmed dishes.
• Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.
• Plates or dishes with metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen.

COVERING
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.

SHIELDING
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
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.

CARE AND CLEANING

HELPFUL HINTS
An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking soda and water keeps the inside fresh. Be certain the oven control is turned off before cleaning any part of this oven.

HOW TO CLEAN THE INSIDE
Walls, Floor, Inside Window, Metal and Plastic Parts on the Door

Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel; others may require a damp cloth. Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp utensils on oven walls. To clean the surface of the door and the surface of the oven that come together upon closing, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or detergents using a sponge or soft cloth. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. Never use a commercial oven cleaner on any part of your microwave.

THINGS THAT ARE NORMAL WITH YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

• Steam or vapor escaping from around the door.
• During cooking, the operation is paused, and the cycle is incomplete. High vapor pressure may push out the door to trip the door switch off resulting in paused operation. Check that the door is closed and press the start/pause button to continue the cooking cycle.
• Light reflection around a door or outer case.
• Dimming oven light and change in the blower sound at power levels other than high.
• Dull thumping sound while the oven is operating.
• TV/radio interference might be noticed while using the microwave. Similar to the interference caused by other small appliances, it does not indicate a problem with the microwave. Plug the microwave into a different electrical circuit, move the radio or TV as far away from the microwave as possible, or check the position and signal of the TV/radio antenna.
