2. Check the oven for any damage, such  
as misaligned or bent door, damaged  
door seals and sealing surface, broken  
or loose door hinges and latches and  
dents inside the cavity or on the door. If  
there is any damage, do not operate the  
oven but contact qualified service  
personnel.  
6. Do not operate the oven without glass  
tray, roller support, and shaft in their  
proper positions.  
3. This microwave oven must be placed  
on a flat, stable surface to hold its  
weight and the heaviest food likely to be  
cooked in the oven.  
7. Make sure that the power supply cord is  
undamaged and does not run under the  
oven or over any hot or sharp surface.  
8. The socket must be readily accessible  
so that it can be easily unplugged in an  
emergency.  
4. Do not place the oven where heat,  
moisture, or high humidity are  
generated,  
or  
near  
combustible  
materials.  
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
This appliance must be grounded. In the event  
of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces  
risk of electric shock by providing an escape  
wire for the electric current.  
Hz, AC only, 20 amp. It is recommended that a  
separate circuit serving only the oven be  
provided. The oven is equipped with a 3-prong  
grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall  
receptacle that is properly installed and  
grounded.  
WARNING Improper use of the grounding plug  
can result in a risk of electric shock.

Notes:  
2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are  
available and may be used if care is exercised  
in their use.  
If you have any questions about the grounding  
or electrical instructions, consult a qualified  
electrician or service person.  
3. If long cord or extension cord is used  
a) The marked electrical rating of the cord  
set or extension cord should be at least as  
great as the electrical rating of the appliance.  
Neither manufacturer nor the dealer can accept  
any liability for damage to the oven or personal  
injury resulting from failure to observe the  
electrical connection procedures.

could ignite.  
This section lists which utensils can be used in  
the microwave, which ones have limited use for  
short periods, and which ones should not be  
used in the microwave.  
Wax paper Use as a cover to prevent  
spattering.  
Thermometers Use only those labeled  
"Microwave Safe" and follow all directions.  
Check the food in several places. Conventional  
thermometers may be used on microwave food  
once the food has been removed from the  
oven.  
RECOMMENDED  
ü
Microwave browning dish Use to brown  
the exterior of small items such as steaks,  
chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions  
provided with your browning dish.  
L LIMITED USE  
Microwaveable plastic wrap Use to retain  
steam. Leave a small opening for some steam  
to escape and avoid placing it directly on the  
food.  
Aluminum foil Use narrow strips of foil to  
prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Using  
too much foil can damage your oven, so be  
careful. You should keep distance of 1 inch  
(2.54cm) between aluminum foil and cavity.  
Paper towels and napkins Use for  
short-term heating and covering; these absorb  
excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do not  
use recycled paper towels, which may contain  
metal and could ignite.  
Ceramic, porcelain, and stonewareUse  
these if they are labeled "Microwave Safe". If  
they are not labeled, test them to make sure  
they can be used safely.  
Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes  
Use for heating or cooking.  
Plastic Use only if labeled "Microwave  
Safe". Other plastics can melt.  
Paper plates and cups Use for short-term  
heating at low temperatures. Do not use  
recycled paper, which may contain metal and

Glass jars and bottles Regular glass is too  
thin to be used in a microwave. It can shatter  
and cause damage and injury.  
Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for  
microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven  
and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish  
which becomes very hot should not be used.  
Paper bags These are a fire hazard, except  
for popcorn bags that are designed for  
microwave use.  
Styrofoam plates and cups These can  
melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food.  
Plastic storage and food containers —  
Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in  
the microwave.  
Metal utensils These can damage your oven.  
Remove all metal before cooking.  
Note:  
COOKING TECHNIQUES  
Your microwave makes cooking easier than  
conventional cooking, provided you keep these  
considerations in mind:  
shielding include poultry wing tips, the ends of  
poultry legs, and corners of square baking  
dishes. Use only small amounts of aluminum  
foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven.  
STIRRING  
TURNING  
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables  
while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at  
the outside of the dish absorbs more energy  
and heats more quickly, so stir from the outside  
to the center. The oven will turn off when you  
open the door to stir your food.  
Turn foods over midway through cooking to  
expose all parts to microwave energy. This is  
especially important with large foods such as  
roasts.  
STANDING  
ARRANGEMENT  
Foods cooked in the microwave build up  
internal heat and continue to cook for a few  
minutes after heating stops. Let foods stand to  
complete cooking, especially foods such as  
cakes and whole vegetables. Roasts need this  
time to complete cooking in the center without  
overcooking the outer areas. All liquids, such  
as soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken or  
stirred when cooking is complete. Let liquids  
stand a moment before serving. When heating  
baby food, stir well at removal and test the  
temperature before serving.  
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as  
chicken pieces or chops, with the thicker,  
meatier parts toward the outside of the  
turntable where they receive more microwave  
energy. To prevent overcooking, place delicate  
areas, such as asparagus tips, toward the  
center of the turntable.  
SHIELDING  
Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil  
to prevent overcooking. Areas that need

content should be covered or allowed to stand  
so that the heat disperses evenly. Add a small  
amount of water to dry food to help it cook.  
ADDING MOISTURE  
Microwave energy is attracted to water  
molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture

wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. When  
cleaning the control panel, leave oven  
door open to prevent oven from  
accidentally turning on.  
2. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When  
food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to  
oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild  
detergent may be used if the oven gets  
very dirty. Avoid the use of spray and other  
harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak  
or dull the door surface.  
6. If steam accumulates inside or around the  
outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft  
cloth. This may occur when the microwave  
oven is operated under high humidity  
conditions. In such case, it is normal.  
3. The outside surfaces should be cleaned  
with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to  
the operating parts inside the oven, water  
should not be allowed to seep into the  
ventilation openings.  
7. It is occasionally necessary to remove the  
glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in  
warm sudsy water or in a dishwasher.
