When the internal sensor detects a certain amount of  
humidity coming from the food, it will tell the oven how  
much longer to heat. The display will show the remaining  
heating time. For best results for cooking by Sensor,  
follow these recommendations:  
1. Touch POPCORN.  
When the cook time is over,  
four beeps will sound and  
COOK END will display.  
1. Food cooked with the sensor system should be at  
normal storage temperature.  
Recommended amounts: 3.0-3.5 ozs.  
To cook a snack size bag (1.75 oz.) place the bag in the  
oven. Set the oven to cook for 2 minutes at full power.  
LISTEN for the popping to slow down. When the  
popping slows to one pop per second, stop the oven.  
Make a note of how much time it took and use that  
setting in the future.  
2. The glass tray and the outside of the container should  
be dry to assure best cooking results.  
3. Foods should always be covered loosely with  
microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a lid.  
4. Do not open the door or touch STOP/CLEAR during  
the sensing time. When sensing time is over, the oven  
beeps twice and the remaining cooking time will appear  
in the display window. At this time you can open the  
door to stir, turn, or rearrange the food.  
DO NOT leave microwave oven unattended  
while popping corn.  
When popping commercially packaged  
popcorn, remove the rack from the oven.  
Do not place the bag of microwave popcorn on  
the rack or under the rack.  
SENSOR COOKING GUIDE  
Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good  
Sensor cooking results.  
1. Always use microwavable containers and cover them  
with lids or vented plastic wrap.  
2. Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can  
prevent steam from escaping and cause food to  
overcook.  
3. Match the amount to the size of the container. Fill  
containers at least half full for best results.  
4. Be sure the outside of the cooking container 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.

This feature allows you to choose the time you want to  
defrost.  
Example: To defrost for 2 minutes.  
For best results:  
• Remove fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry from its original  
closed paper or plastic package (wrapper). Otherwise,  
the wrap will hold steam and juice close to the foods,  
which can cause the outer surface of the foods to cook.  
1. Touch DEFROST 3 times.  
2. Enter the defrosting time you  
want.  
• Form the meat into the shape of a doughnut before  
freezing. When defrosting, scrape off thawed meat when  
the beep sounds and continue defrosting.  
3. Touch START/ENTER.  
(Defrost starts)  
• Place foods in a shallow glass baking dish or a on a  
microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.  
When the defrost time is over, four beeps will sound and  
COOK END will display.  
• Foods should still be somewhat icy in the center when  
removed from the oven.

DEFROST TIPS  
METAL RACK  
When using DEFROST, the weight to be entered is the  
net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds (the weight of  
the food minus the container).  
Use DEFROST only for raw food. DEFROST gives best  
results when food to be thawed is a minimum of 0°F  
(taken directly from a true freezer). If food has been  
stored in a refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a  
temperature of 5°F or below, always program a lower  
food weight (for a shorter defrosting time) to prevent  
cooking the food.  
To avoid risk of property damage:  
Do not use rack to pop popcorn.  
Rack must be on the four plastic supports  
when used.  
Use the rack only when cooking food on rack  
position.  
If the food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20  
minutes, enter a lower food weight.  
Do not cook with rack on floor of the oven.  
The shape of the package alters the defrosting time.  
Shallow rectangular packets defrost more quickly than a  
deep block.  
The metal rack gives you extra space when cooking in  
more than one container at the same time.  
Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated  
pieces defrost more easily.  
To use rack:  
You can use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield  
foods like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails, but the  
foil must not touch the side of the oven. Foil causes  
arcing, which can damage the oven lining.  
1. Place rack securely in the four plastic supports.  
Rack MUST NOT touch metal walls or back of  
microwave oven.  
Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start  
to become warm.  
2. Place equal amounts of food both ABOVE AND  
BELOW rack.  
For better results, a preset standing time is included in  
the defrosting time.  
Amount of food must be approximately the same to  
balance out cooking energy.  
For best results, elevate food to be defrosted on a  
microwave safe roasting rack. This prevents the  
possibility of warm meat juices cooking food during  
defrost.  
Use the DEFROST PLATE provided for complete  
defrosting.  
A DEFROST PLATE is provided for complete defrosting  
of larger food items. Place the defrost plate on the glass  
tray with TOP Mark Up. Place the item to be defrosted  
directly on the defrost plate.  
Do not use DEFROST PLATE together with  
METAL RACK.  
Make sure DEFORST PLATE worked with food, It  
Can’t work no load.

Cooking Fish and Shellfish:  
ones, pieces similar in size and shape cook more  
evenly. For even cooking, reduce the power when  
cooking large pieces of food.  
General Directions  
Natural Moisture: Very moist foods cook more  
evenly because microwave energy is attracted to  
water molecules.  
Prepare the fish for cooking.  
- Completely defrost the fish or  
shellfish.  
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables from

single layer for even cooking.  
the outside to the center to distribute the heat evenly  
and speed cooking. Constant stirring is not  
necessary.  
- The type of cover you use depends on how you  
cook. Poached fish needs a microwavable lid or  
vented plastic wrap.  
Turn over foods like pork chops, baking potatoes,  
roasts, or whole cauliflower halfway through the  
cooking time to expose all sides equally to  
microwave energy.  
- Baked fish, coated fish, or fish in sauce needs to be  
covered lightly with waxed paper to keep the  
coating crisp and sauce from getting watery.  
Place delicate areas of foods, such as asparagus  
tips, toward the center of the dish.  
- Always set the shortest cooking time. Fish is done  
when it turns opaque and the thickest part begins to  
flake. Shellfish is done when the shell turns from  
pink to red and the flesh is opaque and firm.  
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken  
pieces or salmon steaks, with the thicker, meatier  
parts toward the outside of the dish.  
Shield, with small pieces of aluminum foil, parts of  
food that may cook quickly, such as wing tips and leg  
ends of poultry.

Cooking Appetizers: Tips and Techniques  
MEAT  
Cooking Meat: General Directions  
Prepare the meat for cooking.  
- Defrost completely.  
Crisp crackers, such as melba toast, shredded  
wheat, and crisp rye crackers are best for  
microwave use. Wait until party time to add the  
spreads. Place a paper towel under the crackers  
while they cook in the microwave oven to absorb  
extra moisture.  
- Trim off excess fat to avoid spattering.  
- Place the meat, fat side down, on a microwavable  
rack in a microwavable dish.  
- Use oven cooking bag for less tender cuts of meat.  
Arrange individual appetizers in a circle for even  
cooking.  
- Arrange the meat so that thicker portions are toward  
the outside of the dish.  
Stir dips to distribute heat and shorten cooking time.  
- Cover the meat with waxed paper to prevent  
spattering.  
Cooking Sauces: Tips and Techniques  
Tend the meat as it cooks.  
Use a microwavable casserole or glass measuring  
cup that is at least 2 or 3 times the volume of the  
sauce.  
- Drain juices as they accumulate to reduce  
spattering and keep from overcooking the bottom of  
the meat.  
Sauces made with cornstarch thicken more rapidly  
than those made with flour.  
- Shield thin or bony portions with strips of foil to  
prevent overcooking.  
Cook sauces made with cornstarch or flour  
uncovered so you may stir them 2 or 3 times during  
cooking for a smooth consistency.  
NOTE: Keep the foil at least 1 inch from the oven  
walls, and do not cover more than one-third of the  
meat with foil at any one time.  
To adapt a conventional sauce or gravy recipe,  
reduce the amount of liquid slightly.  
Let the meat stand covered with foil 10-15 minutes  
after you remove it from the oven. The internal  
temperature of the meat may rise from 5-10° F  
during standing time.  
Cooking Soups: Tips and Techniques  
Cook soups in a microwavable dish which holds  
double the volume of the recipe ingredients to  
prevent boil-over, especially if you use cream or milk  
in the soup.  
The Meat Cooking Table on the next page provides  
detailed directions, Power Level, and Cooking Time  
settings for most cuts of meat.  
Generally, cover microwaved soups with VENTED  
plastic wrap or a microwavable lid.  
Cover foods to retain moisture. Uncover foods to  
retain crispness.  
Avoid overcooking by using the minimum suggested  
time. Add more time, if necessary, only after  
checking the food.  
Stirring occasionally will help blend flavors, distribute  
heat evenly, and may even shorten the cooking time.  
When converting a conventional soup recipe to cook  
in the microwave, reduce the liquid, salt, and strong  
seasonings.  
Not Recommended  
Appetizers with a crisp coating or puff pastry are best  
done in a conventional oven with dry heat.  
Breaded products can be warmed in the microwave  
oven but will not come out crisp.

- Drain and discard juices as they accumulate.  
- Shield thin or bony pieces with small strips of  
aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Keep foil at  
least 1 inch from the oven walls and other pieces of  
foil.  
Cooking Poultry: General Directions  
Prepare the poultry for cooking.  
- Defrost completely.  
- Arrange poultry pieces with thicker pieces at the  
outside edge of the baking dish. When cooking legs,  
arrange them like the spokes of a wheel.  
- Cover the baking dish with waxed paper to reduce  
spattering.  
Poultry is done when it is no longer pink and the  
juices run clear. When done, the temperature in the  
thigh meat should be 180-185°F.  
Let the poultry stand after cooking covered with foil

COOKING  
Cooking Pasta and Rice: Tips and Techniques  
PASTA AND RICE  
If you are planning to use rice or pasta in a  
casserole, undercook it so it is still firm.  
Allow for standing time with rice, but not for pasta.  
The Pasta and Rice Cooking Tables below provide  
specific directions, with Power Level and cooking  
time settings for most common types of pasta and  
rice.  
Microwave cooking and conventional cooking of pasta,  
rice, and cereal require about the same amount of  
time, but the microwave is a more convenient method  
because you can cook and serve in the same dish.  
There is no stirring needed and leftover pasta tastes  
just like fresh cooked when reheated in the microwave  
oven.

CARE AND CLEANING  
For best performance and safety,  
CLEANING THE GREASE FILTERS  
The grease filter should be removed and cleaned  
often, at least once a month.  
keep the oven clean inside and out-side. Take special  
care to keep the inner door panel and the oven front  
frame free of food or grease build-up. Never use  
rough powder or pads. Wipe the microwave oven  
inside and out, including the hood bottom cover, with a  
soft cloth and a warm (not hot) mild detergent solution.  
Then rinse and wipe dry. Use a chrome cleaner and  
polish on chrome, metal and aluminum surfaces. Wipe  
spatters immediately with a wet paper towel, especially  
after cooking chicken or bacon. Clean your oven  
weekly or more often, if needed.  
1. Disconnect power or unplug microwave oven.  
2. To remove grease filter, slide filter to the back. Pull  
filter downward. The filter will drop out.  
METAL RACK  
Wash the metal rack with a mild soap and a soft or  
nylon scrub brush. Dry completely. Do not use  
abrasive scrubbers or cleaners to clean rack.  
3. Soak grease filter in hot water and a mild detergent.  
Scrub and swish to remove embedded dirt and  
grease. Rinse well and shake to dry. Do not clean  
filter with ammonia, corrosive cleaning agents such  
as lye-based oven cleaners, or place them in a  
dishwasher. The filter will turn black or could be  
damaged.  
4. To reinstall the filter, slide it into the back slot, then  
push up to lock.  
5. Reconnect power or plug in microwave oven.  
NOTE:Do not operate the hood without the filter in  
place.

COOKING UTENSILS  
MICROWAVE UTENSIL GUIDE  
USE  
DO NOT USE  
OVENPROOF GLASS  
METAL UTENSILS:  
(treated for high intensity heat):  
Utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie  
plates, cake plates, liquid  
measuring cups, casseroles, and  
bowls without metallic trim.  
Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces  
uneven cooking. Also avoid metal skewers, thermometers, or foil  
trays. Metal utensils can cause arcing, which can damage your  
microwave oven.  
METAL DECORATION:  
CHINA:  
Metal-trimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc.  
The metal trim interferes with normal cooking and may damage the  
oven.  
Bowls, cups, serving plates, and  
platters without metallic trim.  
PLASTIC:  
ALUMINUM FOIL:  
Plastic wrap (as a cover)-- lay  
the plastic wrap loosely over the  
dish and press it to the sides.  
Vent plastic wrap by turning back  
one edge slightly to allow excess  
steam to escape. The dish  
should be deep enough so that  
the plastic wrap will not touch the  
food. As the food heats it may  
melt the plastic wrap wherever the  
wrap touches the food.  
Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking  
and may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield  
poultry legs and wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch from  
the side walls and door of the oven.  
WOOD:  
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when  
you use them in the microwave oven. Baskets react in the same  
way.  
TIGHTLY COVERED UTENSILS:  
Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered  
utensils.  
Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before  
cooking.  
Tightly closed pouches could explode.  
Use plastic dishes, cups,  
semirigid freezer containers, and  
plastic bags only for short  
cooking times. Use these with  
care because the plastic may  
soften from the heat of the  
food.  
BROWN PAPER:  
Avoid using brown paper bags.  
They absorb too much heat and could burn.  
PAPER:  
Paper towels, waxed paper,  
paper napkins, and paper plates  
with no metallic trim or design.  
Look for the manufacturer's label  
for use in the microwave oven.  
FLAWED OR CHIPPED UTENSILS:  
Any utensil that is cracked, flawed, or chipped may break in the  
oven.  
METAL TWIST TIES:  
Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags.  
They become hot and could cause a fire.  
Do not use recycled paper products in the microwave oven.  
They sometimes contain impurities that cause sparks to occur.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE  
Check the following list to be sure a service call is necessary. Reviewing additional information on items to check  
may prevent an unneeded service call.  
PROBLEM  
POSSIBLE CAUSES  
If nothing on the oven operates  
• check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker.  
• check if oven is properly connected to the electric circuit in house.  
• check that controls are set properly.  
If the oven interior light does not work  
If oven will not cook  
• the light bulb is loose or defective.  
• check that control panel was programmed correctly.  
• check that door is firmly closed.  
• check that Start/Enter Pad was touched.  
• check that timer wasn’t started instead of a cook function.  
If oven takes longer than normal to cook  
or cooks too rapidly  
• be sure the Power Level is programmed properly.  
If the time of day clock does not always  
keep correct time  
• check that the power cord is fully inserted into the outlet receptacle.  
• be sure the oven is the only appliance on the electrical circuit.  
If food cooks unevenly  
• be sure food is evenly shaped.  
• be sure food is completely defrosted before cooking.  
• check placement of aluminum foil strips used to prevent overcooking.  
If food is undercooked  
• check recipe to be sure all directions (amount, time, and power levels)  
were correctly followed.  
• be sure microwave oven is on a separate circuit.  
• be sure food is completely defrosted before cooking.  
If food is overcooked  
If arcing (sparks) occur  
• check recipe to be sure all directions (amount, power level, time, size of  
dish) were followed.  
• be sure microwavable dishes were used.  
• be sure wire twist ties were not used.  
• be sure oven was not operated when empty.  
• make sure metal rack (if used) is properly installed on 4 supports.  
If the display shows a time counting  
down but the oven is not cooking  
• check that door is firmly closed.  
• check that timer was not started instead of a cooking function.  
Vent fan starts automatically  
• If the temperature gets too hot around the microwave oven, the fan in the  
vent hood will automatically turn on at the LEVEL 4 setting to cool the  
oven. It may stay on up to an hour to cool the oven.

time, only an authorized service technician should remove outer case.  
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS  
QUESTION  
ANSWER  
Can I use a rack in my microwave oven  
so that I may reheat or cook in two rack  
positions at a time?  
Only use the rack that is supplied with your microwave oven.  
Use of any other rack can result in poor cooking performance and/or  
arcing and may damage your oven.  
Can I use either metal or aluminum  
pans in my microwave oven?  
Usable metal includes aluminum foil for shielding (use small, flat pieces).  
Never allow metal to touch walls or door.  
Sometimes the door of my microwave  
oven appears wavy.  
This appearance is normal and does not affect the operation of your oven.  
Is this normal?  
What are the humming noises I hear  
when my microwave oven is operating?  
This is the sound of the transformer when the magnetron tube cycles on  
and off.  
Why does the dish become hot when I  
microwave food in it?  
As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to the dish.  
Use hot pads to remove food after cooking.  
Dish may not be microwave safe.  
What does standing time mean?  
Standing time means that food should be taken out of the oven and  
covered for additional time after cooking. This process allows the cooking  
to finish, saves energy, and frees the oven for other purposes.  
Can I pop popcorn in my microwave  
oven?  
Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufacturer’s  
guidelines or use the preprogrammed Popcorn pad.  
How do I get the best results?  
Do not use regular paper bags. Use the listening test by stopping the oven  
as soon as the popping slows to a pop every one or two seconds. Do not  
try to repop unpopped kernels. You can also use special microwave  
poppers. When using a popper, be sure to follow manufacturer’s  
directions. Do not pop popcorn in glass utensils.  
Why does steam come out of the air  
exhaust vent?  
Steam is normally produced during cooking.  
The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam out the top  
vent.
