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.

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.

Demo Mode  
Cooling Fan  
The Demo Mode is ideal for learning how to use the microwave  
oven. When set, functions can be entered without actually turning  
on the magnetron. The microwave oven light will come on, the  
fan will run, and the turntable will rotate. When the microwave  
oven is turned on while in Demo Mode, “no” and then “HEAt” will  
appear in the display.  
Depending on the length of the cooking cycle, the cooling fan  
may continue to run after that cycle has ended. This is normal,  
and helps eliminate moisture that may accumulate inside the  
microwave oven before the door is opened.  
While the fan is running, “COOL” will appear in the display. The  
fan will turn off automatically.  
To Turn On/Off: The microwave oven must be off. Open the door,  
then touch and hold COOK for 5 seconds. Three short tones will  
sound. Repeat to exit Demo Mode.  
Control Lock  
The Control Lock shuts down the control panel pads to prevent  
unintended use of the microwave oven.  
When the control panel is locked, none of the controls will  
function. If a control pad is touched, “LOC” will appear in the  
display and invalid entry tones will sound.  
To Lock/Unlock Control: Before locking, make sure the  
microwave oven is off. Touch and hold CANCEL/OFF for  
5 seconds until 2 tones sound. Repeat to unlock the controls.  
MICROWAVE 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.  
Food Characteristics  
When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting  
temperature, composition and density of the food affect cooking  
results.  
Do not lean on or allow children to swing on the microwave  
oven door.  
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.  
Do not operate microwave oven when it is empty.  
The turntable must be in place and correct side up when  
microwave oven is in use. Do not use if turntable is chipped  
or broken. See “Assistance or Service” section to reorder.  
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.  
Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in  
microwave oven.  
Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including  
brown paper bags and newspaper, should not be dried in  
microwave oven.  
Starting Temperature  
Room temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated foods,  
and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods.  
Do not use the microwave oven for canning, sterilizing or  
deep frying. The microwave oven cannot maintain  
appropriate temperatures.  
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.  
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. Cover  
poached eggs and allow a standing time.

Cooking Guidelines  
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.  
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.
