MICROWAVE OVEN

Read and follow the specific “Precautions to Avoid Possible Exposure to Excessive Microwave

Energy” section in this manual.

I Some products such as whole eggs and

sealed containers—for example, closed

jars—will explode and should not be

heated in this microwave oven. Such use

of the microwave oven could result in

injury.

To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

I Do not overcook food. Carefully attend

appliance if paper, plastic or other

combustible materials are placed inside

the oven to facilitate cooking.

I Remove wire twist-ties from paper or

plastic containers before placing bags

in oven.

I Do not operate the microwave oven

without the turntable and support in place.

I Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even

with the lid off. Make sure all infant food

is thoroughly cooked. Stir food to

newspapers.

I Do not pop popcorn in your microwave

oven unless in a special microwave

popcorn accessory or unless you use

popcorn labeled for use in microwave

ovens.

distribute the heat evenly. Be careful to

prevent scalding when warming formula

or breast milk. The container may feel

cooler than the milk really is. Always test

the milk before feeding the baby.

I Do not overcook potatoes. They could

dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage

to your oven.

I Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven.

Pressure will build up inside the egg

yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly

resulting in injury.

I Do not operate the oven while empty to

avoid damage to the oven and the danger

of fire. If by accident the oven should run

empty a minute or two, no harm is done.

However, try to avoid operating the oven

empty at any time—it saves energy and

prolongs the life of the oven.

I Foods with unbroken outer “skin” such

as potatoes, sausages, tomatoes, apples,

egg yolks, chicken livers and other giblets

should be pierced to allow steam to escape

during cooking.

I Don’t defrost frozen beverages in

narrow-necked bottles (especially

carbonated beverages). Even if the

container is opened, pressure can build

up. This can cause the container to burst,

possibly resulting in injury.

I Do not use the oven for storage purposes.

Do not leave paper products, cooking

utensils or food in the oven when not

in use.

I If materials inside the oven should ignite,

keep oven door closed, turn oven off

and shut off power at the fuse or circuit

breaker panel. If the door is opened,

the fire may spread.

I Hot foods and steam can cause burns.

Be careful when opening any containers

of hot food, including popcorn bags,

cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent

possible injury, direct steam away from

hands and face.

I This microwave oven is not approved or

tested for marine use.

I As with any appliance, close supervision is

necessary when used by children.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE

Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass

casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does

not have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled

“suitable for microwaving.”

I If you are not sure if a dish is microwave-safe, I Cookware may become hot because of

immediately after cooking, possibly resulting

in injury. Also, plastic storage containers

should be at least partially uncovered

because they form a tight seal. When cooking

with containers tightly covered with plastic

wrap, remove covering carefully and direct

steam away from hands and face.

I If you use a meat thermometer while

cooking, make sure it is safe for use in

microwave ovens.

I Do not use recycled paper products.

Recycled paper towels, napkins and waxed

paper can contain metal flecks which may

cause arcing or ignite. Paper products

containing nylon or nylon filaments should

be avoided, since they may also ignite.

I Use foil only as directed in this manual. TV

dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less

than 3/4″ high; remove the top foil cover

and return the tray to the box. When using

foil in the microwave oven, keep the foil at

least 1 inch away from the sides of the oven.

I Some Styrofoam trays (like those that meat

is packaged on) have a thin strip of metal

embedded in the bottom. When

and cookware could ignite.

microwaved, the metal can burn the floor

of the oven or ignite a paper towel.

I Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in

microwave ovens. Check the package for

proper use.

I Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic

wrap can be used to cover dishes in order to

retain moisture and prevent spattering. Be

sure to vent plastic wrap so steam can escape.

I Follow these guidelines:

I Oversized food or oversized metal cookware

should not be used in a microwave oven.

Electrical shock or fire could occur.

Use microwave-safe plastics only

and use them in strict compliance

with the cookware manufacturer’s

recommendations.

I While paper plates may be used for timed

cooking and defrosting, do not use them

with Auto Sensor cooking. Use microwave-

safe plates or bowls for reheating. Cover with

plastic wrap.

Do not microwave empty containers.

Do not permit children to use

plastic cookware without complete

supervision.

I Foil not molded to food (upturned edges

act like antennas).

SUPER HEATED WATER

Microwaved water and other liquids do not always bubble when they reach the boiling point.

They can actually get super heated and not bubble at all.

Super heated liquid will bubble up out of

the cup when it is moved or when something

like a spoon or tea bag is put into it.

Spontaneous boiling

Under certain special circumstances, liquids

may start to boil during or shortly after removal

from the microwave oven.

To prevent this from happening and causing

injury, do not heat any liquid for more than

2 minutes per cup.

To prevent burns from splashing liquid, we

recommend the following before removing

the container from the oven:

After heating, let the cup stand in the

microwave for 30 seconds before moving

it or putting anything into it.

I Allow the container to stand in the oven

for 30 to 40 seconds after the oven has

shut off.

I Do not boil liquids in narrow-necked

containers such as soft drink bottles, wine

flasks and especially narrow-necked coffee

cups. Even if the container is opened,

excessive steam can build up and cause it

to burst or overflow.

WARNING!

SELF-CLEANING LOWER OVEN

Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms, except as suggested in this manual. Improper

installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

I Stand away from the oven when opening

the oven door. Hot air or steam which

escapes can cause burns to hands, face

and/or eyes.

I After broiling, always take the broiler

pan out of the oven and clean it. Leftover

grease in the broiler pan can catch fire

next time you use the oven.

I Do not heat unopened food containers.

Pressure could build up and the container

could burst, causing an injury.

in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s

directions.

I Before self-cleaning the oven, remove

the probe, broiler pan, grid and other

cookware.

I Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock

is a convenience in lifting heavy foods.

It is also a precaution against burns

from touching hot surfaces of the door

or oven walls.

I Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before

starting a self-cleaning cycle.

I If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,

turn the oven off and disconnect the

power supply. Have it serviced by a

qualified technician.

I Do not use the oven for a storage area.

Items stored in an oven can ignite.

I Do not leave paper products, cooking

utensils or food in the oven when not

in use.

Here are some examples of uses for

various power levels:

Enter cooking or defrosting time.

I High 10: Fish, bacon, vegetables,

boiling liquids.

Press the POWER LEVEL pad.

I Med-High 7: Gentle cooking of meat

and poultry; baking casseroles and

reheating.

Select desired power level 1–10.

Press the START/PAUSE pad.

I Medium 5: Slow cooking and

tenderizing for stews and less tender

cuts of meat.

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.

Each power level gives you microwave energy a

certain percent of the time.

I Low 2 or 3: Defrosting; simmering;

delicate sauces.

I Warm 1: Keeping food warm; softening

butter.

I Power level 7 is microwave energy 70%

of the time.

I Power level 3 is energy 30% of the

time.

I Most cooking will be done on High

(power level 10) which gives you 100%

power. Power level 10 will cook faster

but food may need more frequent

stirring, rotating or turning over.

A lower setting will cook more evenly

and need less stirring or rotating of the

food. 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.

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. See the Defrosting Guide for suggested

times. (Auto Defrost explained in the About the

auto feature section.)

Defrosting Tips

IFoods frozen in paper or plastic can be

defrosted in the package. Closed packages

should be slit, pierced or vented AFTER food

has partially defrosted. Plastic storage

containers should be partially uncovered.

Press the DEFROST AUTO/TIME pad

twice.

IFamily-size, prepackaged frozen dinners

can be defrosted and microwaved. If the

food is in a foil container, transfer it to a

microwave-safe dish.

Enter defrosting time.

Press the START/PAUSE pad.

Turn food over when the oven

signals.

IFoods that spoil easily should not be

allowed to sit out for more than one hour

after defrosting. Room temperature promotes

the growth of harmful bacteria.

At one half of selected defrosting

time, the oven signals TURN. At

this time, turn food over and

break apart or rearrange pieces

for more even defrosting. Shield

any warm areas with small pieces

of foil.

Press the START/PAUSE pad.

Power level is automatically set at 3, but

can be changed. You can defrost small

items quickly by raising the power level

after entering the time. Power level 7

cuts the total defrosting time in about

half; power level 10 cuts the total time to

approximately 1/3. However, food will

need more frequent attention than usual.

IFor more even defrosting of larger foods,

such as roasts, use Auto Defrost. Be sure

large meats are completely defrosted

before cooking.

IWhen 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.

Using the microwave sensor cooking 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.

Sensor Cooking

I The proper containers and covers are

essential for best sensor cooking.

I 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.

Covered

I 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.

Vented

Dry off dishes so they don’t mislead

the sensor.

Microwave terms.

Term

Definition

Arcing

Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:

I the temperature probe staying in the oven but not inserted in the food.

I metal or foil touching the side of the oven.

I foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).

I metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes.

I recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.

Covering

Shielding

Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce cooking time. Venting plastic

wrap or covering with wax paper allows excess steam to escape.

In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to prevent overbrowning. 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.

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

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.

The shelves have stop-locks, so that when

placed correctly on the supports, they will

stop before coming completely out, and

will not tilt.

To remove a shelf, pull it toward you,

tilt the front end up and pull it out.

To replace, place the end of the shelf

(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the

NOTE: A cooling fan may automatically turn on

and off to cool internal parts. This is normal, and

the fan may continue to run even after the oven is

turned off.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.

Preheating is necessary for good results

when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and

breads.

Baking results will be better if baking

pans are centered in the oven as much as

possible. Pans should not touch each

other or the walls of the oven. If you

need to use two shelves, stagger the pans

so one is not directly above the other,

and leave approximately 1¹⁄²″ between

pans, from the front, back and sides of

the wall.

To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature.

The control will beep when the oven is preheated

and the display will show your set temperature.

This may take approximately 10 minutes.

Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line the

broiler pan and broiler grid. However,

you must mold the foil tightly to the grid

and cut slits in it just like the grid.

Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of

the oven.

Never entirely cover a shelf with

aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat

circulation and result in poor baking.

Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat

and meat juices from draining into the

broiler pan. The juices could become

hot enough to catch on fire. If you

do not cut the slits, you are essentially

frying, not broiling.

Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.

A smaller sheet of foil may be used to

catch a spillover by placing it on a lower

shelf several inches below the food.

Using the lower oven.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling

Leave the door open to the broil stop position.

The door stays open by itself, yet the proper

temperature is maintained in the oven.

NOTE: Food can be broiled with the door

closed, but it may not brown as well because

the oven heating element will cycle on and off.

Press the BROIL HI/LO pad once for

the thermostat yourself.

Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.

These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.

NOTE: This adjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it does not affect broiling, convection or

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you

decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the

fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads, on the

other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor

of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least

70% vegetable oil.

Removable Turntable and Turntable Support

To prevent breakage, do not place the

turntable into water just after cooking.

Wash it carefully in warm, sudsy water or

in the dishwasher.

Door Surface

The turntable and support can be

broken if dropped. Remember, do not

operate the microwave oven without the

turntable and support in place.

When cleaning surfaces of door and oven

that come together on closing the door,

use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or

detergents applied with a sponge or

soft cloth.

To replace the support, place its center

post in the hole. Turn the support

around until it seats into place.

Inside

Keep the microwave oven clean and

sweet-smelling. Opening the oven door a

few minutes after cooking helps air out

the interior. An occasional thorough

wiping with a solution of baking soda and

water keeps the interior fresh.

Spills and spatters are easy to remove

from walls and floor if they are wiped up

soon after the food is removed. Some

spatters wipe up with a paper towel, some

may require a damp cloth. Remove

greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then

rinse and dry.

Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces

can break off the pad, causing electrical shock.

Wipe up spatters on the window on the

inside of the door daily. When the

window is soiled, wash it with a damp

cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

Wipe metal and plastic parts on the

inside of the door frequently. Use a damp

I If any stain on the door vent trim is

persistent, use a soft abrasive cleaner

and a sponge-scrubber for best results.

To clean the inside of the door:

I Because the area inside the gasket is

cleaned during the self-clean cycle, you

do not need to clean this by hand.

I Spillage of marinades, fruit juices,

tomato sauces and basting materials

containing acids may cause

discoloration and should be wiped

up immediately. When surface is cool,

clean and rinse.

I The area outside the gasket and

the door liner can be cleaned with a

soap-filled steel wool or plastic pad, hot

water and detergent. Rinse well with a

vinegar and water solution.

The gasket is designed with a gap at

the bottom to allow for proper air

circulation.

I Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning

powders or harsh abrasives on the

outside of the door.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket—

it has an extremely low resistance to

abrasion.

To clean the outside of the door:

I Use soap and water to thoroughly

clean the top, sides and front of the

oven door. Rinse well. You may also

use a glass cleaner to clean the glass

on the outside of the door. Do not let

water drip into the vent openings.

If you notice the gasket becoming

worn, frayed or damaged in any way

or if it has become displaced on the

door, you should have it replaced.

Broiler Pan & Grid (lower oven)

If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid

with detergent while hot and cover with

wet paper towels or a dishcloth. Soaking

the pan will remove burned-on foods.

Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in

a self-cleaning oven.

After broiling, remove the broiler pan

from the oven. Remove the grid from the

pan. Carefully pour out the grease from

the pan into a proper container.

After broiling, remove the broiler

pan from the oven.

Both the broiler pan and grid may be

cleaned with a commercial oven cleaner.

Wash and rinse the broiler pan and grid

in hot water with a soap-filled or plastic

scouring pad.

Both the broiler pan and grid can also be

cleaned in a dishwasher.

Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid

anywhere in the cooking center.

Control Panel

It’s a good idea to wipe the control

panel after each use. Clean with mild

soap and water or vinegar and water,

rinse with clean water and polish dry

with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong

liquid cleaners, plastic scouring pads or

oven cleaners on the control panel—they

will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution of

vinegar and hot water works well.

Probe (lower oven)

The temperature probe may be cleaned

with soap and water or a soap-filled

scouring pad. Cool the temperature

probe before cleaning. Scour stubborn

spots with a soap-filled scouring pad,

rinse and dry.

IDo not immerse the temperature probe in

water.

IDo not store the temperature probe in the

cooking center.

When reinstalling the oven floor, be

sure to slide it all the way to the back
