TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE IN THE CAVITY:

• Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance 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 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 face and hands.
• Vent, pierce, or slit containers, pouches or plastic bags to prevent build-up of pressure.
• Be careful when touching the turntable, door, racks, or walls of the oven which may become hot during use. Do not touch heating elements.
• Energized cooktop surface and interior cavity lighting will cause burns. Use caution when cleaning and allow lamps to cool prior to replacement.
• HOT CONTENTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS.
• DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO USE THE MICROWAVE. Use caution when removing hot items.

OPERATING

• Do not operate the microwave without the turntable in place. The turntable must be unrestricted so it can turn.
• Oversized food or oversized metal cookware should not be used in a microwave/convection oven because they increase the risk of electric shock and could cause a fire.
• Do not use paper products in oven when appliance is operated in any cooking mode except “microwave only”.
• 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 a microwave rack or any part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the microwave/convection 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

• Disconnect power before cleaning.
• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
• Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn off the pad and touch electrical pars involving 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.

SUPER HEATED 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 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 microwave oven is equipped with a Child Resistant Oven Door. The requirement of child-resistant oven door latches has been implemented by all manufacturers of microwave ovens to reduce the likelihood of young children handling hot food and beverage items and to further reduce the potential risk of injury. All persons should use caution when removing hot items from microwave ovens.
• Please read instructions carefully. Microwave is shipped with the door locked.

Child Resistant Oven Door Operation Opening the Door

1. Press button (lock button) located on the right-hand side of the microwave
2. While holding down the lock button, simultaneously press the door latch release button (front push button) on microwave.

Note: You will need to complete these steps every time you want to open the door.

Deactivation of the Child-Resistant Microwave Door Latch

In some cases, it may be desirable to disable this feature. For example, households that do not have young children or households where users may have physical limitations that make it difficult to operate the child resistant door may want to disable the two-step latch. This feature can be disabled by following these steps.

1. Locate the lock button/screw on the side of the control panel.
2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, gently depress this button.
3. Rotate the screwdriver clockwise so that the “indicator dimple” is nearest to the “Unlock” position/label. Do not over-tighten.

• Note: The position of the lock button has molded in indicator dimple.
• When this is closest to the molded “Lock” the child resistant door is enabled. After it has been rotated it will be closest to “Unlock”, in this position the child resistant door is disabled.

Controls

You can microwave by time, with the sensor features or with the auto feature. Not all features on all models.

Cooking Controls

Check the Convenience Guide before you begin.

1. Time Features
2. Sensor Features and Auto Feature

Power Levels

The power level may be entered or changed immediately after entering the feature time for TIME COOK. The power level may NOT be changed during time countdown.

1. Press TIME COOK.
2. Enter cooking time.
3. Press POWER LEVEL.
4. Select desired power level 1–10.
5. Press START/PAUSE.

• 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 percentage 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 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.

Here are some examples of uses for various power levels:

• High 10: Fish, bacon, vegetables, boiling 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.

Defrost

Time Defrost

Allows you to defrost for a selected length of time. See the Defrosting Guide for suggested times. (Weight Defrost explained in the About the Auto Feature section.)

1. Press DEFROST TIME/WEIGHT twice.
2. Enter defrosting time.
3. Press START/PAUSE.
4. Turn food over when the oven signals.
5. Press START/PAUSE.

• Power level is automatically set at 3, and you may not change it.
• At one half of selected defrosting time, the oven signals TURN. At this time, turn food over and break apart or rearrange pieces for more even defrosting. Shield any warm areas with small pieces of foil.
• A dull thumping noise may be heard during defrosting. This is normal when 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.
• 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.
• For more even defrosting of larger foods, such as roasts, use Weight Defrost. 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.

Defrosting Guide

WEIGHT DEFROST

• The DEFROST TIME/WEIGHT feature gives you two ways to defrost frozen foods. Press DEFROST TIME/WEIGHT once for WEIGHT DEFROST or twice for TIME DEFROST.
• Use WEIGHT DEFROST for meat, poultry and fish. Use TIME DEFROST for most other frozen foods.
• WEIGHT DEFROST automatically sets the defrosting times and power levels to give even defrosting results for meats, poultry and fish weighing up to 6 pounds.

1. Press DEFROST TIME/WEIGHT once.
2. Using the Conversion Guide below, enter food weight. For example, press pads 1 and 2 for 1.2 pounds (1 pound, 3 ounces).
3. Press START/PAUSE.

• (Time Defrost is explained in the About the Time Features section.) There is a handy guide located on the front of the oven.
• Remove meat from package and place on microwave-safe dish.
• Twice during defrost, the oven signals TURN. At each TURN signal, 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.

Conversion Guide

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

Other Features
