4. This microwave oven was designed for  
installation over ranges with maximum width of  
42 inches. It may be installed over both gas and  
electric cooking equipment.  
13. DO NOT immerse cord or plug in water.  
14. Keep cord AWAY from HEATED surfaces.  
15. DO NOT let cord hang over edge of table or counter.  
5. Install or locate this appliance ONLY in accordance  
with the provided installation instructions.  
16. See door cleaning instructions on page 20.  
6. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed  
containers -- for example, closed glass jars -- may  
explode and SHOULD NOT be HEATED in this  
oven.  
17. Exhaust Hood:  
Have installed and properly grounded by a  
qualified installer. See the special  
installation booklet packed with the  
microwave oven.  
7. Use this appliance ONLY for its intended use as  
described in this manual. Do not use corrosive  
chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type of  
oven is specifically designed to heat or cook. It is  
not designed for industrial or laboratory use.  
The exhaust fan in the oven will operate  
automatically under certain conditions  
(see Automatic Fan Feature). While the  
fan is operating, caution is required to  
prevent the starting and spreading of  
accidental cooking fires.  
8. As with any appliance, CLOSE SUPERVISION is  
necessary when used by CHILDREN.  
Never leave surface units unattended at  
high heat settings. Boilovers cause  
smoking and greasy spillovers that may  
ignite and spread if exhaust fan is operating.  
To minimize automatic fan operation, use  
adequate sized cookware and use high heat  
only when necessary.  
9. DO NOT operate this appliance if it has a damaged  
cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID  
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE  
MICROWAVE ENERGY  
(a) DO NOT attempt to operate this oven with the door  
open since open-door operation can result in  
harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is impor-  
tant not to defeat or tamper with the safety inter-  
locks.  
(b) DO NOT place any object between the oven front  
face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to  
accumulate on sealing surfaces.  
(c) DO NOT operate the oven if it is damaged. It is  
particularly important that the oven door close  
properly and that there is no damage to the: (1)  
door (bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken or  
loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces.  
(d) The oven should NOT be adjusted or repaired by  
anyone except properly qualified service person-  
nel.  
Caution  
9. All uncooked foods should be heated to a  
final internal temperature of at least 165°F.  
Some foods require higher temperatures.  
These recommended temperatures kill most  
food borne, disease causing organisms.  
Some common visual signs that indicate the  
cooking temperature has been reached:  
• Food steams throughout, not just around  
edges.  
To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe  
the following:  
1. Always press STOP/RESET before  
programming oven.  
2. Do not deep fat fry in oven. Fat could  
overheat and be hazardous to handle.  
3. Do not cook or reheat eggs in shell or with  
an unbroken yolk. Pressure may build up  
and erupt. Pierce yolk with a fork or knife  
before cooking. Do not reheat previously  
cooked eggs in the microwave oven unless  
finely chopped or scrambled.  
4. Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes, or other  
foods with a "skin" before cooking in  
microwave oven. This allows steam to  
escape during cooking.  
• Center bottom of dish is very hot to the  
touch.  
10. If using a microwave popcorn popper, use  
according to manufacturer's instructions. Do  
not continue to heat after popping has  
stopped. Popcorn will scorch or burn. Do  
not leave oven unattended.  
11. Use only popcorn in packages designed and  
labeled for microwave use. Pop according  
to package directions, beginning with the  
minimum amount of time recommended.  
Use caution when handling hot popcorn  
bag.  
5. Remove excess fat from meats and  
poultry to prevent splattering.  
6. Do not heat baby bottles in microwave oven.  
7. Do not home can in microwave oven. Home  
canning is generally done with metal lids.  
Since metal lids reflect heat, product may  
not be heated uniformly to 212°F or above.  
Food could deteriorate. USDA Extension  
Specialists do not recommend home canning  
in microwave ovens.  
8. Briskly stir or pour liquids before heating to  
prevent spontaneous boiling or eruption. Do  
not overheat. If air is not mixed into a liquid,  
liquid can erupt in oven or after removal  
from oven.

12. Microwave convenience foods are often  
packaged in specially designed packaging.  
Special plates, lids, containers, or other unique  
packaging materials may be used. Susceptor  
packing material (a thin, metalized plastic film) is  
frequently used to help brown and crispen foods  
such as microwave pizzas, french fries, or fish  
sticks. Be sure to follow food package  
instructions carefully. Contact convenience food  
manufacturer with questions concerning these  
products. Amana Refrigeration, Inc. does not  
endorse any brand of microwave convenience  
foods, or any type of microwave food packaging.  
13. Do not operate microwave oven empty. This  
could damage the oven.  
15. Metal or ceramic accessories which are designed  
to absorb microwave energy to provide heat may  
be used with caution. Test device before use  
(See "Microwave Cooking section"). Read and  
follow manufacturer's instructions provided with  
the accessory. Contact accessory manufacturer  
with questions concerning these accessories.  
Amana Refrigeration, Inc., does not endorse any  
brand of accessory.  
16. Never use newspapers in oven since paper may  
ignite.  
17. Pierce or open plastic bags (and other airtight  
containers) before heating in microwave oven.  
This allows steam to escape during cooking.  
18. Containers may become hot and pot holders may  
be needed.  
19. Closely supervise use by children. Make sure  
they can read instructions and reach controls.  
Never allow them to lean or swing on oven door.  
14. Do not use regular cooking thermometers in  
oven. Most cooking thermometers contain  
mercury and may cause “arcing”, malfunction,  
and/or damage to oven.  
Electrical Requirements  
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
DO NOT UNDER ANY  
WARNING -- IMPROPER USE OF THE GROUNDING PLUG  
CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR DEATH.  
CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR  
REMOVE THE ROUND  
GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE  
PLUG OR BEND THE POWER  
PRONGS TO FIT A RECEPTACLE  
OTHER THAN THE ONE SHOWN  
FOR YOUR OVEN. SUCH ABUSE  
OF THE PLUG CAN RESULT IN  
ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR  
OVERHEATING.  
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 cord having  
a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an  
outlet that is properly installed and grounded. DO NOT use a two-prong  
adapter.  
Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if the grounding instructions are  
not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is  
properly grounded.  
Do not use an extension cord. If the product power cord is too short, have  
a qualified electrician install a three-slot receptacle. This oven should be  
plugged into a separate 60 hertz circuit with the electrical rating as shown  
in the appropriate drawing at left. When a microwave oven is on a circuit  
with other appliances, an increase in cooking times may be required and  
fuses can be blown.

1. Food packaged in paper or plastic may be defrosted  
without unwrapping. If food is foil wrapped, remove foil  
and place food in cooking dish for defrosting. Most  
foods defrost well using power level 3 (30% power).  
Defrost larger foods, such as beef, lamb and veal  
roasts, by using power level 1 (10% power).  
2. After first half of defrosting time, unwrap package and  
check food. Turn food over, if necessary; break apart  
or separate food if possible. Shield any warm areas  
with small pieces of foil.  
3. Be sure foods are completely defrosted before  
cooking.  
4. Foods need standing time before cooking to allow

Heating or Reheating Guide  
Be sure foods are heated throughout before serving.  
Steaming or bubbling around edges of dish does not  
necessarily indicate food is heated throughout.  
Directions below are for heating or reheating already-  
cooked foods stored in refrigerator or at room  
temperature. Use microwave-safe cookware.  
Use Full Power, unless otherwise listed in Heat or  
Reheat guide below.  
Cover most foods for fast heating. Exceptions are some  
sandwiches, griddle foods and baked items.  
Note: If thermometer is needed during cooking, use  
microwave-safe thermometer.  
Bubbling around edges of dish is normal, since center is  
last to heat. Foods heated to 160°F.--165°F. will  
provide safe, palatable results. Adjust temperatures to  
suit your personal taste. Foods need standing time  
before serving to allow completion of cooking process.

Microwave Cooking  
Food Placement  
Browning  
Allow space between foods for proper cooking results. For  
best results, arrange thickest or hardest to cook portion of  
food toward outside of dish. Place smaller, easier to cook  
portions toward center.  
Some foods prepared in microwave will not brown the  
same as if done in conventional oven. This is particularly  
true for baked goods, such as breads and cakes.  
Reheating  
Shielding  
When reheating food, cover dish loosely with plastic wrap.  
Heat at full power. Reheat porous items such as breads  
and cakes for a minimum amount of time. Stir soups,  
sauces and beverages vigorously before reheating.  
Porous, thin and protruding portions of large food items,  
such as poultry drumsticks, can be covered with thin strips  
of foil to prevent overcooking.  
Defrosting  
Piercing  
It is important that most foods, especially meats, be totally  
defrosted before cooking. Determine foods are totally  
defrosted, by inserting sharp knife in center of food and  
checking for remaining ice crystals. Turn large food items  
over during defrosting, for best results.  
Membranes or tight skins on foods, such as egg yolks,  
potatoes, tomatoes, and squash must be pierced. Pierc-  
ing allows steam to escape during cooking.  
Microwave Utensils  
Recommended utensils include: glass, glass-ceramic,  
natural fiber cloth, non-recycled paper, plastic and wood.  
Not Recommended utensils include: aluminum foil,  
grocery bags, lead crystal, metal, metallic trimmed china,  
newspapers and recycled paper.  
Utensil Check Test  
If dish remains cool and water is hot, dish is microwave  
safe. If dish is slightly warm, use for short term cooking  
only. If dish is hot and water is cool, do not use. Dish  
remains cool if not absorbing microwaves and  
Use the following test to check utensils for microwave  
safeness:  
1. Place glass measuring cup of water next to  
empty dish to be tested in microwave oven.  
2. Heat on full power for one minute.  
3. Check temperature of dish and water.  
microwaves are being absorbed by water. Dish becomes  
hot if absorbing microwaves.  
Microwave Cooking Principles  
Decrease cooking times when:  
Foods are high in fat and sugar.  
Foods are porous.  
Increase cooking times when:  
Foods are thick and dense.  
Foods are frozen or refrigerator temperature.  
Foods are flat, thin or prepared in shallow pan.  
Food volume increases.  
Preventing Excess Moisture  
When cooking foods in a microwave oven, a considerable amount of steam/water vapor can be generated and accumu-  
late on foods and inside of oven. This is caused by hot moist air from food coming in contact with cool surfaces inside  
oven. Use the following procedures to help reduce moisture buildup.  
Cover foods before cooking in microwave.  
Open microwave door immediately after cooking to  
reduce moisture inside oven.  
Cover potatoes and fresh vegetables with a microwave-  
safe paper towel before cooking to help absorb excess  
moisture. Remove paper towel immediately after  
cooking to prevent vegetables from reabsorbing  
moisture.

Care and Cleaning  
Interior, Exterior and Door  
Do not use cleaners containing ammonia.  
These could damage finish.  
If walls, floor, and door of microwave oven become  
splattered, wipe with paper towel or clean with mild  
detergent in warm water using soft sponge or cloth. Wring  
sponge or cloth to remove excess water before wiping  
oven. If desired, boil a cup of water in microwave oven to  
loosen soil before cleaning.  
Never pour water into microwave oven bottom.  
Do not use abrasives to clean inside of oven.  
Abrasives may damage oven finish.  
Exhaust Maintenance  
Replacing grease filters:  
1. Slide filter into frame slot on back of opening.  
2. Pull filter upward to front.  
3. Lock in place.  
Note: Do not operate vent hood with filters removed.  
Exhaust hood is equipped with two metal filters which  
collect grease. Never operate oven without filters in place.  
In situations where flaming might occur on surfaces below  
hood, filters will stop entry of flames into unit. When fan is  
operated, air is drawn through filters. Depending on  
installation, it is either discharged through venting to  
outside or drawn through charcoal filter and recirculated.  
Removing grease filters:  
1. Grasp tab on filter and slide to rear.  
2. Pull filter downward to front. Filter will drop out.  
Cleaning grease filters:  
Grease filters should be cleaned at least once a month to  
remove residue. Clean filters by soaking and agitating in  
warm sudsy water. Do not use ammonia or ammonia  
products, they will darken metal. Light brushing can be  
used to remove embedded dirt. Rinse, shake and remove  
moisture before replacing.  
Grease Filters  
Caution  
To avoid personal injury, do not operate  
microwave oven without filters in place.  
Charcoal Filter (recirculating installation only)  
Microwave oven can be recirculated instead of being  
vented to outside. For recirculating installation, charcoal  
filter must be used. Charcoal filter removes smoke and  
odors caused by cooking on range top. Charcoal filter is  
disposable and should be replaced when it is noticeably  
dirty or discolored (approximately every 6 to 12 months,  
depending on usage). Charcoal filter may be purchased  
from dealer.  
To install new charcoal filter:  
1. Remove plastic and other outer wrapping from new  
filter.  
2. Insert filter into top opening of oven as shown. Filter  
will rest at an angle, on two side support tabs.  
3. Replace grille.  
4. Replace two screws to secure grille.  
Note: Do not clean charcoal filter.  
Do not operate vent hood with charcoal filter  
removed.  
To remove charcoal filter:  
1. Disconnect power at main fuse, circuit breaker panel  
or pull plug.  
2. Remove two screws that hold grille in place.  
3. Remove grille.  
4. Grasp filter, slide toward front of oven and remove.
