IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, electric
shock, fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive
microwave energy:
■ To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
– Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the microwave oven
when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed
inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
■ Read all instructions before using the microwave oven.
■ Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO
AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY” found in this section.
– Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before
placing bags in oven.
– If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven door closed, turn
oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at
the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
■ The microwave oven must be grounded. Connect only
to properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS” found in this section and in the
provided Installation Instructions.
– Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave
paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when
not in use.
■ Install or locate the microwave oven only in
accordance with the provided Installation Instructions.
■ 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.
■ Some products such as whole eggs in the shell and
sealed containers – for example, closed glass jars –
are able to explode and should not be heated in the
microwave oven.
■ Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as
described in this manual. Do not use corrosive
chemicals or vapors in the microwave oven. This type
of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry
food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.
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.
■ As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary
when used by children.
– After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave
oven for a short time before removing the container.
■ Do not operate the microwave oven if it has a
damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or
if it has been damaged or dropped.
– Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into
the container.
■ The microwave oven should be serviced only by
qualified service personnel. Call an authorized service
company for examination, repair, or adjustment.
■ Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not be
inserted in the microwave oven as they may create a fire or risk
of electric shock.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
■
For all cord connected appliances:
The microwave oven 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. The microwave oven is equipped with a cord
having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified
electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether
the microwave oven is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is
too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install
an outlet near the microwave oven.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

In contrast, microwave ovens utilizing this microwave system
deliver the selected power level continuously. This constant
stream of microwave power helps to minimize overcooking of
foods and messy food spatters.
Oven Cavity Coating
The oven has a durable, nonstick coating that resists soil buildup
by making cleaning easier than in conventional microwave ovens.
See “General Cleaning” section for cleaning instructions.
Microwave System – OPTIMAWAVE™
Technology
The microwave system featuring OPTIMAWAVE™ Technology
delivers a constant stream of microwave power – true high,
medium and low power – to provide consistent, even results.
Sensor Cooking
Typically, microwave ovens operate on HIGH power only. For
example, to achieve a 50% power level (“medium”) in a typical
microwave oven, the oven operates 50% of the time at HIGH
power and 50% of the time OFF.
The microwave system features sensor cooking functions. A
humidity sensor in the oven cavity detects moisture and humidity
emitted from food as it heats. The sensor adjusts cooking times
to various types and amounts of food. Sensor cooking takes the
guesswork out of microwave cooking.

OVEN USE
A magnetron in the 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.
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.
■
■
■
Do not lean on or allow children to swing on the oven door.
Do not operate oven when it is empty.
The turntable must be in place and correct side up when
oven is in use. Do not use if turntable is chipped or broken.
See “Assistance or Service” section to reorder.
Stirring and Turning
■
■
Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in
oven.
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.
Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including
brown paper bags and newspaper, should not be dried in
oven.
Arranging
■
■
Do not use the oven for canning, sterilizing or deep frying.
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.
Paraffin wax will not melt in the oven because it does not
absorb microwaves.
■
■
Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from
oven.
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.
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. Cover
poached eggs and allow a standing time.
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 tail. See “Aluminum Foil and Metal” first.
Food Characteristics
When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting
temperature, composition and density of the food affect cooking
results.
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.
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.

PROGRAMMED COOKING
To Use Popcorn:
1. Place popcorn bag on the turntable and close the door.
Sensor Cooking
2. Touch POPCORN control.
Some automatic cycles are sensor cycles. See “Cook Method
Chart.” No amounts need to be entered. A sensor in the oven
detects humidity released from the food as it heats, and adjusts
the cook time accordingly. The progress bar appears during
sensing (see “Progress Bar” section).
The oven will start automatically. The display will show when
the oven is sensing, and will start counting down the time
when sensing has finished.
When the cycle ends, the end-of-cycle tones will sound,
followed by reminder tones.
Many sensor cycles require the covering of foods. Microwavable
containers or steamers with loose-fitting lids are recommended.
The loose-fitting lid allows enough steam to escape to be
detected by the sensor. When covering foods with plastic wrap,
be sure to leave a large enough vent opening to allow the steam
to escape.
3. Touch OFF control or open the door to stop reminder tones.
The display will return to the Main Menu after OFF control is
touched.

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the microwave oven is cool. Always follow label instructions on
cleaning products.
Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested unless otherwise noted.
GREASE FILTERS
CONTROL PANEL/INTERACTIVE TOUCH DISPLAY
Do not use ammonia or corrosive cleaning agents such as lye-
based oven cleaners.
Activate the Control Lock to avoid touch screen activation during
cleaning. See “Control Lock” section.
■
Hot water and mild detergent:
Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel-wool pads or gritty
washcloths. Damage may occur.
Soak filters, then scrub and swish to remove embedded dirt
and grease. Rinse well and shake to dry.
Use gentle pressure when wiping the touch screen.
■
Glass cleaner and soft cloth:
■
Dishwasher:
Apply glass cleaner to soft cloth, not directly on panel.
Mild soap, water and soft washcloth
Wash separately, not with dirty dishes, because food can be
trapped in the filters.
■
NOTE: Some discoloration of the filters may occur after
cleaning them in the dishwasher. This is normal, and will not
affect the performance of the grease filters.
OVEN DOOR AND EXTERIOR
The area where the oven door and frame touch when closed
should be kept clean.
OVEN CAVITY
■
Mild, nonabrasive soaps and detergents:
The gray finish inside the oven cavity is a durable, nonstick
coating that makes soils easier to remove.
Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.

Glass cleaner and paper towels or nonabrasive plastic
scrubbing pad:
Do not use metal or sharp utensils or scrapers, soap-filled
scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, steel-wool pads, gritty
washcloths or some recycled paper towels. Damage may occur.
If damage does occur, special touch up paint may be applied.
See “Assistance or Service” to order.
Apply glass cleaner to towel, not directly to surface.

Do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, steel-
wool pads, gritty washcloths or some paper towels. Damage may
occur.
