SAFETY  
PROPER AND SAFE USE OF YOUR OVEN  
The oven must be on a leveled surface.  
Do not heat baby bottles or baby food  
in the microwave oven. Uneven heating  
may occur and could cause physical  
injury.  
The turntable and turntable roller rest  
must be in the oven during cooking.  
Place the cookware gently on the  
turntable and handle it carefully to avoid  
possible breakage.  
Do not heat narrow-necked containers,  
such as syrup bottles.  
Do not attempt to deep-fry in your  
microwave oven.  
Incorrect use of browning dish may  
cause the turntable to break.  
Do not do home canning in this  
microwave oven as it is impossible to  
be sure all contents of the jar have  
reached boiling temperature.  
Use carefully when cooking food in the  
microwave oven to avoid burning due to  
excessive cooking.  
Use only the specified bag size when  
using Direct Access Popcorn.  
Do not use this microwave oven for  
commercial purposes. This microwave  
oven is made for household use only.  
Failure to maintain the oven in a clean  
condition could lead to deterioration that  
could adversely affect the life of the  
appliance and possibly result in a  
hazardous situation.  
To prevent eruptive boiling of hot liquids  
and beverages or scalding yourself, stir  
liquid before placing the container in the  
oven and again halfway through cooking  
time. Let stand in the oven for a short  
time and stir again before removing the  
container.  
The oven has several built-in safety  
switches to ensure that the power  
remains off when the door is open. Do  
not tamper with these switches.  
Do not operate the microwave oven  
empty. Operating the oven with no food  
or food that is extremely low in moisture  
can cause fire, charring or sparking.  
Do not cook bacon directly on the  
turntable. Excessive local heating of the  
turntable may cause it to break.  
Do not remove feet from the bottom of  
the oven.

COOKING GUIDE  
COOKING PRINCIPLES AND TECHNIQUES  
Advantages of microwave cooking are speed  
and efficiency. For warming, heating, and  
defrosting, nothing compares. Here are a few  
tips that will make microwaving easier and more  
enjoyable.  
foods near the outer edge of the dish when  
reheating.  
Covering:  
Most foods will cook and reheat better when  
covered. Pierce plastic wrap to vent steam.  
Microwave Cooking Principles  
Because microwave cooking requires only  
one-quarter to one-third the time of conventional  
cooking, cooking principles become even more  
important.  
Stirring:  
Stirring foods help them cook more quickly  
and evenly.  
Turning Over:  
Quantity  
To promote more even cooking, turn large, solid  
items such as roasts or baked potatoes over  
halfway through the cooking time.  
In microwave cooking, the cooking time is  
dependent on the amount of food in the oven.  
If you double the recipe, plan on doubling the  
cooking time.  
Shielding:  
Use small, smooth strips of aluminum foil to  
prevent corners, thin or bony areas  
from overcooking.  
Density  
Dense foods, such as potatoes, need more  
cooking time as they take longer for microwave  
energy to penetrate and for the heat to be  
conducted through them.  
Standing Time:  
Foods continue cooking even after removal from  
the oven. Standing time is necessary to allow  
foods to complete cooking/defrosting.  
Shape and Size  
Cut food into uniform shapes and sizes for  
even cooking in the microwave. When cooking  
irregular shapes (such as chicken pieces), place  
the thicker parts to the outer edge of the dish.  
Moisture, Sugar and Fat Food high in moisture,  
sugar or fat cook faster. Add a minimum of liquid  
to moisten foods.  
Converting Recipes:  
Microwave recipes will likely call for less liquid  
and cooking time.  
Microwave Thermometers:  
A microwave-safe thermometer can be used to  
achieve the best results. Insert the thermometer  
carefully and properly into the food. The guide  
below gives suggested thermometer readings  
for meat and poultry. Keep in mind that standing  
time is essential for most food to reach its proper  
serving temperature.  
An excess amount of water slows cooking.  
Starting Temperature  
Frozen or refrigerated foods take longer to  
microwave than food at room temperature.  
Delicate Ingredients  
Delicate foods such as eggs, cheese,  
mayonnaise, etc., cook very quickly, and should  
be watched carefully.

Microwave Cooking Techniques  
Arranging:  
Arrange food in a circular pattern, with denser,

Medium beef,

oysters, snails, sausages, livers, clams and  
whole vegetables, so they do not burst.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS  
Q. When the oven is plugged into a wall outlet for the first time, it does not work properly.  
What is wrong?  
A. The microcomputer used in the oven control may temporarily become scrambled and  
fail to function as programmed. Unplug the oven from the wall outlet and then plug it back  
in. The microcomputer will then reset for proper functioning.  
Q. Why is there noise coming from the turntable when the oven is turned on?  
A. This noise occurs when the turntable roller rest and cavity bottom are dirty. Clean the  
turntable roller rest cavity bottom. Frequent cleaning of these parts should eliminate or  
reduce the noise.  
Q. Why is there noise coming from the oven when reducing power?  
A. When cooking with a power other than maximum (PL 10), the oven cycles to obtain the  
lower power level. The clicking noise can be heard when the oven cycles on and off. This  
is normal.  
Q. Why is there steam coming out of the air exhaust vent?  
A. Steam is produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been made to  
vent this steam.  
Q. What is wrong when the oven light will not glow?  
A. There may be several reasons why the oven light will not glow. The light bulb has burned  
out or START/+30SEC. has not been pressed.  
Q. Why do eggs sometimes pop?  
A. The egg yolk may pop because of steam build-up inside the membrane. Pierce the  
membrane with a toothpick before cooking it. Never microwave eggs in the shell since  
they may explode.  
Q. How are boil-overs avoided?  
A. Use a larger utensil than usual for cooking. If you open the oven door or touch  
STOP/CLEAR, the food will stop boiling.  
CLEANING  
Wipe the oven inside and outside with a soft  
cloth and a mild detergent solution. Then  
rinse and wipe dry. For best drying results,  
use a cloth specially designed for  
stainless steel surfaces. The cloth can  
be found at most kitchen accessory and  
hardware stores. This should be done on a  
weekly basis, more often if needed. Never  
use cleaning powders or rough pads.  
Excessive oil splatters on the inside top will  
be difficult to remove if left for many days.  
Wipe splatters with a wet paper towel,  
especially after cooking chicken or bacon.  
The turntable may be cleaned at the  
sink. Be careful not to chip or scratch the  
edges as this may cause the turntable to  
break during use.  
The turntable roller rest should be  
cleaned regularly.  
SPECIAL CARE  
For best performance and safety, the inner  
door panel and the oven front frame should  
be free of food or grease buildup. Wipe them  
often with a mild detergent. Then rinse and  
wipe dry. Never use cleaning powders or  
rough pads. After cleaning the control panel,  
press STOP/CLEAR to clear any entries that  
might have been entered accidentally while  
cleaning the panel.  
REMOVABLE PARTS  
The following parts may be removed as  
described. They should be washed in warm  
(not hot) water with a mild detergent and a  
soft cloth. Once they are clean, rinse them  
well and dry with a soft cloth. Never use  
cleaning powders, steel wool or rough pads.
