Electrical Requirements
WARNING
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
■
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.
SAVETHESE INSTRUCTIONS
Required:
■
A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp electrical supply
with a fuse or circuit breaker.
Recommended:
This device complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules.
■
A time-delay fuse or time-delay circuit breaker.

level (10 to 90), then touch the Start control.
At the end of any cycle, “ADD MORE TIME 0:00” appears in the
display. Enter the additional time, if desired, and start the
microwave oven. The cook power and/or temperature (on models
with convection) for all non-sensor cycles will be the same as in the
finished cycle, but may be changed. If Add More Time is used after
a sensor cycle, the cook power will be 100%, but may be changed.
If programming additional stages, enter the cook time and cook

Sensor Cooking
Warm Hold
A sensor in the microwave oven detects moisture released from
food as it heats, and adjusts the cooking time accordingly.
WARNING

3 minutes. Use microwave-safe dish with loose-fitting lid, or cover
microwave-safe dish with plastic wrap and vent. After convection
cooking (on some models) or grilling (on some models), the sensor
will be disabled until the microwave oven is cooled.

or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
Hot cooked food can be kept warm in the microwave oven. The
Warm Hold function uses 10% cook power. Warm Hold can be
used by itself or can be programmed to follow a cooking cycle.
Opening the door during Warm Hold will cancel the function.
Microwave Oven Care
General Cleaning
Installing/Replacing Filters and Light Bulbs
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the microwave oven is cool. Always follow label instructions on
cleaning products.
NOTE: A filter status indicator (on some models) appears in the
display when it is time to replace the charcoal filter, and clean or
replace the grease filter. See “Settings” section to reset filter status.
To avoid damage to the microwave oven caused by arcing due to
soil buildup, keep cavity, microwave inlet cover, cooking rack
supports, and area where the door touches the frame clean.
■
Grease filters: Grease filters are on the underside of microwave
oven. Clean monthly, or as prompted by filter status indicator.
Slide the filter away from the tab area, and drop out the filter.
To reinstall, place end of the filter into the opening opposite
the tab area, swing up the other end, and slide it toward the
tab area.
Clean with mild soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge, or as
indicated below.
■
■
Grease filters: mild soap and water or dishwasher.
Door and exterior: mild soap and water, or glass cleaner
applied to paper towel.
■
Charcoal filter: The charcoal filter is behind the vent grille at the
top front of the microwave oven. The charcoal filter cannot be
cleaned, and should be replaced about every 6 months, or as
prompted by filter status indicator. Remove 2 screws on the
vent grille, tilt the grille forward, lift it out, and remove filter. To
reinstall, place the filter into its slotted area – wire mesh side
up, replace vent grille, and secure with screws.
Cooktop light: The cooktop light bulb is located on the
underside of the microwave oven, and is replaceable. Remove
bulb cover screw, and open the bulb cover. Replace bulb,
close bulb cover, and secure with screw.
Cavity light: The cavity light bulb is located behind the vent
grille at the top front of the microwave oven, under the bulb
cover, and is replaceable. Remove 2 screws on the vent grille,
tilt the grille forward, and lift it out. Open bulb cover and
replace bulb. Close bulb cover, replace vent grille, and secure
with screws.
■
■
Control panel: sponge or soft cloth and water.
Stainless steel (on some models): mild soap and water, then
rinse with clean water and dry with soft cloth, or use stainless
steel cleaner.
■

Troubleshooting
First try the solutions suggested here or visit our website and reference FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.
Microwave oven will not operate
Check the following:
Odor and smoke coming from microwave oven during
convection cooking (on some models)
■
This is normal for the first few convection cycles. The odor will
dissipate with repeated use.
■
Household fuse or circuit breaker
If a household fuse has blown or a circuit breaker has tripped,
replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem
continues, call an electrician.
Quartz bulb (on some models) does not appear to be on
■
Magnetron
■
This is not unusual. See “Grill Element” in the “Features”
section.
Try to heat 1 cup (250 mL) of cold water for 2 minutes at 100%
cooking power. If water does not heat, try the steps in the
bullets below. If microwave oven still does not operate, call
for service.
■
Is the element still working properly?
Place 2 slices of bread on the tall grill rack, place the rack on
the turntable and close the door. Program the microwave oven
using manual grill – without microwaves – for 4 minutes. The
bread should toast dark brown. If it does not toast, call for
service.
■
Door
Firmly close door. On some models, if a packaging spacer is
attached to inside of the door, remove it, then firmly close door.
If a message about the door appears in the display, the door
has been closed for 5 minutes or more without the microwave
oven being started. This occurs to avoid unintended starting of
the microwave oven. Open and close the door, then start
the cycle.
Fan running during cooktop usage
■
This is normal. The microwave oven’s cooling fan (on some
models), which is separate from the vent fan, automatically
comes on during microwave oven operation to cool the
microwave oven. It may also automatically come on and cycle
on and off to cool the microwave oven’s controls while the
cooktop below is being used.
■
Control
Make sure control is set properly. Make sure Control Lock is off.
Make sure Demo Mode (on some models) is off.
Radio, TV or cordless phone interference
Check the following:
Arcing in the microwave oven
Check the following:
■
■
■
Proximity
■
Soil buildup
Move the receiver away from the microwave oven, or adjust the
radio or TV antenna.
Soil buildup on cavity walls, microwave inlet cover, cooking
rack supports, and area where the door touches the frame can
cause arcing. See “General Cleaning” in “Microwave Oven
Care” section.
Soil
Make sure the microwave oven door and sealing surfaces are
clean.
Turntable alternates rotation directions
Frequency
■
This is normal and depends on motor rotation at the beginning
of the cycle.
Some 2.4 GHz-based cordless phones and home wireless
networks may experience static or noise while microwave
oven is on. Use a corded phone, a different frequency
cordless phone or avoid using these items during microwave
oven operation.
Display shows messages
■
A flashing “:” or “PF” means there has been a power failure.
Reset the clock.
■
A letter followed by a number is an error indicator. Call for
assistance.
