WARNING!  
ARCING  
SafeyIructions  
If you see arcing, press the CLEAR/OFF pad and correct  
the problem.  
Arcing is the microwave term  
for sparks in the oven. Arcing  
is caused by:  
Foil not molded to food  
(upturned edges act like  
antennas).  
The metal shelf not  
installed correctly so it  
touches the microwave wall.  
Metal, such as twist-ties,  
poultry pins or gold-  
rimmed dishes, in the  
microwave.  
Metal or foil touching the  
side of the oven.  
Recycled paper towels  
containing small metal  
pieces being used in the  
microwave.

Avoid heating baby food in  
glass jars, even with the lid  
off. Make sure all infant  
food is thoroughly cooked.  
Stir food to distribute the  
heat evenly. Be careful to

warming formula or breast  
milk. The container may  
feel cooler than the milk  
really is. Always test the  
milk before feeding the  
baby.  
SUPERHEATED 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.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
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 appliance is equipped with a  
power cord having a grounding  
wire with a grounding plug. The

plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed  
and grounded.  
OpeagIructions  
Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the  
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if  
doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.  
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal  
responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly  
grounded 3-prong wall outlet.  
ips  
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third  
(ground) prong from the power cord.  
Do not use an adapter plug with this appliance.  
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power  
cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service  
technician install an outlet near the appliance.

THE VENT FAN  
The fan will operate automatically under certain conditions  
(see Automatic Fan feature). Take care to prevent the starting  
and spreading of accidental cooking fires while the vent fan  
is in use.  
Clean the underside of the microwave often. Do not allow  
grease to build up on the microwave or the fan filter.  
In the event of a grease fire on the surface units below the  
microwave oven, smother a flaming pan on the surface unit  
by covering the pan completely with a lid, a cookie sheet or  
a flat tray.  
OepagIructions  
Use care when cleaning the vent fan filter. Corrosive cleaning  
agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the filter.  
When preparing flaming foods under the microwave, turn  
the fan on.  
Never leave surface units beneath your microwave oven  
unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking  
and greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread if the  
microwave vent fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan  
operation, use adequate-sized cookware and use high heat  
on surface units only when necessary.

About changing the  
power level.  
SfaeyIructions  
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.  
High (power level 10) or full power is the fastest  
way to cook and gives you 100% power. Each power  
level gives you microwave energy a certain percent  
of the time. Power level 7 is microwave energy 70%  
of the time. Power level 3 is energy 30% of the time.  
A high setting (10) will cook faster but food may  
need more frequent stirring, rotating or turning  
over. Most cooking will be done on High (power  
level 10). A lower setting will cook more evenly and  
need less stirring or rotating of the food.  
OepagIructions  
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.  
How to Change the  
Power Level  
The power level may  
be entered or changed  
immediately after  
entering the feature  
time for TIME COOK,  
TIME DEFROST, EXPRESS  
COOK or ADD 30 SEC.  
The power level may  
also be changed during  
time countdown.  
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.

Time Defrost  
Allows you to defrost for the length of time you  
select. See the Defrosting Guide for suggested times.  
Power level 3 is automatically set, but you may  
change this for more flexibility. You may defrost  
small items more quickly by raising the power level  
after entering the time. However, they will need  
more frequent attention than usual.  
Power level 7 cuts the total defrosting time in  
about half; power level 10 cuts the total time to  
approximately 1/3. Rotate or stir food frequently.

For best results, place food directly on the  
defrost rack and place the rack on the turntable.  
3 Press START.  
Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted  
in the package. Tightly closed packages should  
be slit, pierced or vented AFTER food has  
partially defrosted. Plastic storage containers  
should be at least partially uncovered.  
T
rbuleshotingT  
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, such as milk, eggs,  
fish, stuffings, poultry and pork should not be  
allowed to sit out for more than one hour after  
defrosting. Room temperature promotes the  
growth of harmful bacteria.  
isp  
For more even defrosting of larger foods, such  
as beef, lamb and veal roasts, use Auto Defrost.  
CsnmeSuport  
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.

About the sensor features.  
Humidity Sensor  
What happens when using the Sensor Features:  
The Sensor Features detect the increasing humidity  
released during cooking. The oven automatically  
adjusts the cooking time to various types and  
amounts of food.  
Covered  
Do not use the Sensor Features twice in succession  
on the same food portion—it may result in severely  
overcooked or burnt food. If food is undercooked  
after the countdown, use Time Cook for additional  
cooking time.  
OepagIructions  
Vented  
The proper containers and covers are essential for  
best sensor cooking.  
Always use microwave-safe containers and cover  
them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Never use  
tight sealing plastic containers—they can prevent  
steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.  
Be sure the outside of the cooking containers 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.  
Dry off dishes so they  
don’t mislead the sensor.

In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to  
prevent over-browning. When microwaving, you use small strips  
of foil to shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs on  
poultry, which would cook before larger parts.  
OpeagIructions  
Standing Time When you cook with regular ovens, foods such as roasts or cakes  
are allowed to stand to finish cooking or to set. Standing time is  
especially important in microwave cooking. Note that a  
ips  
microwaved cake is not placed on a cooling rack.  
Venting  
After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap  
by turning back one corner so excess steam can escape.

Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel;  
others may require a damp cloth. Remove greasy

cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp  
utensils on oven walls.  
Never use a commercial oven cleaner on any part of  
your microwave.  
Removable Turntable and Turntable Support  
To prevent breakage, do not place the turntable  
into water just after cooking. Wash it carefully

Care and cleaning of the microwave oven.  
How to Clean the Outside  
We recommend against using cleaners with ammonia or  
alcohol, as they can damage the appearance of the  
microwave oven. If you choose to use a common household  
cleaner, first apply the cleaner directly to a clean cloth, then  
wipe the soiled area.  
SafeyIructions  
Case  
Clean the outside of the microwave with a sudsy cloth.  
Rinse and then dry. Wipe the window clean with a  
damp cloth.  
Control Panel  
Wipe with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not  
use cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water,  
abrasives or sharp objects on the panel—they can  
damage it. Some paper towels can also scratch the  
control panel.  
Door Panel  
Before cleaning the front door panel, make sure you know  
what type of panel you have. Refer to the eighth digit of  
the model number. “S” is stainless steel, “G” is Graphite,  
“L” is CleanSteel and “B”, “W” or “C” are plastic colors.  
OpeagIructions  
Stainless Steel  
The stainless steel panel can be cleaned with Stainless  
Steel Magic or a similar product using a clean, soft  
cloth. Apply stainless cleaner carefully to avoid the  
surrounding plastic parts. Do not use appliance wax,  
polish, bleach or products containing chlorine on  
Stainless Steel finishes.  
ips  
CleanSteel, Graphite  
Use a clean, soft, light and lightly dampened cloth,  
then dry thoroughly. Do not use appliance wax,  
polish, bleach or products containing any chemical  
agent on the CleanSteel surfaces.

Plastic Color Panels  
Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth, then dry

Door Seal  
It’s important to keep the area clean where the  
door seals against the microwave. Use only mild,  
non-abrasive detergents applied with a clean sponge  
or soft cloth. Rinse well.

use a charcoal filter.  
Reusable Grease Filter  
(on all models)  
OepagIructions  
Reusable Grease Filter  
The reusable grease filter traps grease released by  
foods on the cooktop. It also prevents flames from  
foods on the cooktop from damaging the inside of  
the microwave.  
For this reason, the filter must ALWAYS be in place  
when the hood is used. The grease filter should be  
cleaned once a month, or as needed.

To clean the grease filter, soak it and then swish it  
around in hot water and detergent. Don’t use  
ammonia or ammonia products because it will  
darken the metal. Light brushing can be used to  
remove embedded dirt.

Rinse, shake and let it dry before replacing.  
To replace, slide the filter in the frame slot at the
