Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your
appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and
others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word
“DANGER” or “WARNING.”
These words mean:
DANGER You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t immediately
follow instructions.
WARNING You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow

Use two or more people to move and install microwave oven.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
IMPORTANT: The control side of the microwave oven is the heavy side.
Handle the microwave oven gently. The weight of the microwave oven is over 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.
■ 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 “Assistance or Service” section.
■ Install the microwave at a height of minimum 36″ (91.4 cm) from floor.
■ Do not block the exhaust vents or air intake openings. Allow a few inches of
space at the back and side 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.
■ Make sure the microwave oven legs are in place to ensure proper airflow. If
vents are blocked, a sensitive thermal device may automatically turn the
microwave oven off. The microwave oven should work properly once it has
cooled.
Electrical Requirements
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical
shock.

MICROWAVE OVEN USE
A magnetron in the microwave 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.
■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not lean on or allow children to
swing on the microwave oven door.
■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not operate microwave oven when it
is empty.
■ Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in microwave oven.
■ Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, and paper, including brown
paper bags and newspaper, should not be dried in the microwave oven.
■ Paraffin wax will not melt in the microwave oven because it does not absorb
microwaves.
■ 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.
■ Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam buildup in whole
eggs may cause them to burst, requiring significant cleanup of microwave oven
cavity. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time.
Food Characteristics
When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting temperature,
composition and density of the food affect cooking results.
Amount of Food
The more food heated at once, the longer the cook time needed. Check for
doneness and add small increments of time if necessary.
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.
Starting Temperature
Room temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated foods, and
refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods.
Composition and Density
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.
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.
Stirring and Turning
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.
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.
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.
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 tails. See the “Aluminum Foil and Metal” section first.
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.
Cookware and Dinnerware
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.
