Installation Instructions  
Before you begin operating the oven, carefully read the following instructions.  
1. Empty the microwave oven and clean  
inside it with a soft, damp cloth. Check  
for damage such as a door that isn’t lined  
up correctly, damage around the door, or  
dents inside the oven or on the exterior.  
If there is any damage, do not operate  
the oven until an authorized service tech-  
nician has checked it and made any  
needed repairs.

2. Put the oven on a cart, counter, table,  
or shelf that is strong enough to hold the  
oven and the food and utensils you put  
in it. (The control side of the unit is  
the heavy side. Use care when han-  
dling the oven.) The weight of the oven  
is about 50 lbs (23kg). The microwave  
oven should be at a temperature above  
50°F (10°C) for proper operation.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
For all cord connected appliances:  
completely understood, or if doubt exists  
as to whether the microwave oven is  
properly grounded.  
The microwave oven 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. The microwave oven  
is equipped with a cord having a ground-  
ing wire with a grounding plug. The plug  
must be plugged into an outlet that is  
properly installed and grounded.  
Do not use an extension cord. If the power  
supply cord is too short, have a qualified  
electrician or serviceman install an outlet  
near the microwave oven.  
For a permanently connected appliance:  
This appliance must be connected to  
a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring  
system, or an equipment grounding  
conductor should be run with the circuit  
conductors and connected to the equip-  
ment grounding terminal or lead on the  
appliance.  
WARNING: Improper use of the  
grounding can result in a risk of  
electric shock.  
Consult a qualified electrician or service-  
man if the grounding instructions are not

Getting to Know Your  
Microwave Oven  
This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows you the basics  
you need to know to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information before you  
use your oven.  
wWARNING  
Explosion Hazard  
Do not store flammable materials such as gasoline near the  
microwave oven.  
Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.  
Microwaves pass through most glass,  
paper, and plastics without heating them  
so food absorbs the energy. Microwaves  
bounce off metal containers so food does  
not absorb the energy.  
How your microwave  
oven works  
Microwave ovens are safe. Microwave  
energy is not hot. It causes food to make  
its own heat, and it’s this heat that cooks  
the food.  
Microwaves are like TV waves, radio-  
waves,or light waves. You cannot see them,  
but you can see what they do.  
Radio interference  
Using your microwave oven may cause  
nterference to your radio, TV, or similar  
equipment. When there is interference,  
you can reduce it or remove it by:  
A magnetron in the microwave oven  
produces microwaves. The microwaves  
move into the oven where they contact  
food as it turns on the turntable.  
Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces  
of the oven.  
Adjusting the receiving antenna of the  
radio or television.  
Moving the receiver away from the  
microwave oven.  
Plugging the microwave oven into a  
different outlet so that the microwave  
oven and receiver are on different  
branch circuits.  
Your microwave oven has a patented  
microwave distribution system, which  
releases microwaves from two locations  
(one above food and one at bottom of food).  
Because the microwaves enter the oven at  
two different times, a third wave of  
microwaves is created. This gives you uni-  
form cooking.  
The glass turntable of your microwave  
oven lets microwaves pass through. Then  
they bounce off a metal floor, back through  
the glass turntable, and are absorbed by  
the food.  
For the best  
cooking results  
Always cook food for the shortest cook-  
ing time recommended. Check to see how  
the food is cooking. If needed, touch the  
ADD MINUTE pad while the oven is oper-  
ating or after the cooking cycle is over  
(see the “Using ADD MINUTE” section).  
Oven cavity  
Magnetron  
Stir, turn over, or rearrange the food  
being cooked about halfway through the  
cooking time for all recipes. This will help  
make sure the food is evenly cooked.  
If you do not have a cover for a dish,  
use wax paper, or microwave-approved  
paper towels or plastic wrap. Remember  
to turn back a corner of the plastic wrap to  
vent steam during cooking.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN  
• Do not operate the microwave oven unless  
the glass turntable is securely in place and  
can rotate freely. The turntable can rotate in  
either direction. Make sure the turntable is  
correct-side up in the oven. Handle your  
turntable with care when removing it from  
the oven to avoid possibly breaking it. If  
your turntable cracks or breaks, contact  
your dealer for a replacement.  
Testing your  
microwave oven  
To test the oven put about 1 cup (250 ml) of  
cold water in a glass container in the oven.  
Close the door. Make sure it latches. Cook  
at 100% power for 2 minutes. When the time  
is up, the water should be heated.  
• When you use a browning dish, the  
browning dish bottom must be at least 3⁄  
16  
inch (5mm) above the turntable. Follow the  
directions supplied with the browning dish.  
Testing your  
dinnerware or  
cookware  
Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside  
the shell.  
Steam buildup in whole eggs may  
cause them to burst and burn you, and  
possibly damage the oven. Slice hard-boiled  
eggs before heating. In rare cases, poached  
Test dinnerware or cookware before using.  
To test a dish for safe use, put it into the oven  
with a cup of water beside it. Cook at 100%

cook power for one minute.  
Cover  
hot and water stays cool, do not use it.  
Some dishes (melamine, some ceramic  
dinnerware, etc.) absorb microwave energy,  
becoming too hot to handle and slowing  
cooking times. Cooking in metal containers  
not designed for microwave use could  
damage the oven, as could containers with  
hidden metal (twist-ties, foil lining, staples,  
metallic glaze or trim).  
poached eggs and allow a standing time of  
one minute before cutting into them.  
For best results, stir any liquid several  
times before heating or reheating. Liquids  
heated in certain containers (especially  
containers shaped like cylinders) may  
become overheated. The liquid may splash  
out with a loud noise during or after heating  
or when adding ingredients (coffee granules  
tea bags, etc.). This can harm the oven and  
possibly injure someone.  
Operating safety  
precautions  
• Microwaves may not reach the center of a  
roast. The heat spreads to the center from  
the outer, cooked areas just as in regular  
oven cooking. This is one of the reasons  
for letting some foods (for example, roasts  
or baked potatoes) stand for a while after  
cooking, or for stirring some foods during  
the cooking time.  
• Never lean on the door or allow a child to  
swing on it when the door is open. Injury  
could result.  
• Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not  
heat containers, but heat from the food can  
make the container hot.  
• Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable  
cookware is not suitable and it is difficult to  
maintain appropriate deep frying  
temperatures.  
• Do not overcook potatoes. Fire could  
result. At the end of the recommended  
cooking time, potatoes should be slightly  
firm because they will continue cooking  
during standing time. After microwaving,  
wrap potatoes in foil and set aside for 5  
minutes. They will finish cooking while  
standing.  
• Do not use newspaper or other printed  
paper in the oven. Fire could result.  
• Do not dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood,  
paper, gourds, or clothes in the oven.  
Fire could result.  
• Do not start a microwave oven when it is  
empty. Product life may be shortened. If  
you practice programming the oven, put a  
container of water in the oven. It is normal  
for the oven door to look wavy after the  
oven has been running for a while.  
• Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven.  
Paraffin wax will not melt in a microwave  
oven because it allows microwaves to pass  
through it.

Reheating tips  
Cooked food and leftovers can be  
reheated quickly and efficiently without  
spoiling their freshness and taste.  
Always place the dense food at the outer  
edges and the more porous food towards  
the center.  
To keep food moist during reheating,  
cover the food with a microwave-safe lid or  
plastic wrap. Covering the food keeps heat  
in the food, speeds heating, and prevents  
spatters.  
Wrap sandwiches and rolls loosely in pa-  
per towels to absorb moisture and prevent  
sogginess.  
NOTE: See the “Weight conversion chart”  
later in this section for help in converting  
food weight to decimals.  
3. Touch

Weight conversion chart  
You are probably used to food weights as being in pounds and ounces that are fractions of a  
pound (for example, 4 ounces equals 1⁄  
4
pound). However, in order to enter food weight in  
DEFROST, you must specify pounds and tenths of a pound. If the weight on the food package  
is in fractions of a pound, you can use the following chart to convert the weight to decimals.

The length of defrosting time varies accord-  
ing to how solidly the food is frozen.  
Defrosting tips  
The shape of the package affects how  
quickly food will defrost. Shallow packages  
will defrost more quickly than a deep block.  
As food begins to defrost, separate the  
pieces. Separated pieces defrost more easily.  
Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield  
parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips,  
fish tails, or areas that start to get warm.  
Make sure the foil does not touch the sides,  
top, or bottom of the oven. The foil can dam-  
age the oven lining.  
For better results, let food stand after  
defrosting. (For more information on standing  
time, see “Microwave cooking tips” in the  
“Cooking Guide” section.)  
When using DEFROST, the weight to be  
entered is the net weight in pounds and  
tenths of pounds (the weight of the food  
minus the container).  
Before starting, make sure you have  
removed any of the metal twist-ties which  
often come with frozen food bags, and  
replace them with strings or elastic bands.  
Open containers such as cartons before  
they are placed in the oven.  
Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or pack-  
aging.  
If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place  
it in a suitable container.  
Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as  
sausage.  
Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even  
defrosting.  
Turn over food during defrosting or standing  
time. Break apart and remove food as  
required.  
Always underestimate defrosting time. If  
defrosted food is still icy in the center, return it  
to the microwave oven for more defrosting.

Cooking  
Guide

Oven  
tips  
Amount of food  
If you increase or decrease the amount  
of food you prepare, the time it takes to  
cook that food will also change. For  
example, if you double a recipe, add a  
little more than half the original cooking  
time. Check for doneness and, if neces-  
sary, add more time in small increments.  
To make sure your microwave oven looks  
good and works well for a long time, you  
should maintain it properly. For proper care,  
please follow these instructions carefully.  
For interior surfaces: Wash often with  
warm, sudsy water and a sponge or soft  
cloth. Use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or  
a mild detergent. Be sure to keep the  
areas clean where the door and oven  
frame touch when closed. Wipe well with  
clean water. Over time, stains can occur on  
the surfaces as the result of food particles  
spattering during cooking. This is normal.  
Starting temperature of food  
The lower the temperature of the food  
being put into the microwave oven, the  
longer it takes to cook. Food at room tem-  
perature will be reheated more quickly  
than food at refrigerator temperature.  
Composition of food  
For stubborn soil, boil a cup of water in the  
oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften  
the soil. To get rid of odors inside the oven,  
boil a cup of water with lemon juice or vine-  
gar.  
For exterior surfaces and control panel:  
Use a soft cloth with spray glass cleaner.  
Apply the spray glass cleaner to the soft  
cloth; do not spray directly on the oven.  
Food with a lot of fat and sugar will be  
heated faster than food containing a lot  
of water. Fat and sugar will also reach a  
higher temperature than water in the  
cooking process.  
The more dense the food, the longer it  
takes to heat. “Very dense” food like meat  
takes longer to reheat than lighter, more  
porous food like sponge cakes.  
NOTE: Abrasive cleansers, steel-wool  
pads, gritty wash cloths, some paper  
towels, etc., can damage the control panel  
and the interior and exterior oven surfaces.  
Size and shape  
Smaller pieces of food will cook faster  
than larger pieces and same-shaped  
pieces of food cook more evenly than  
irregularly shaped foods.  
With unevenly shaped foods, the thinner  
parts will cook faster than the thicker

areas. Place the thinner parts of chicken  
wings and legs in the center of the dish.  
Stirring, turning foods  
Stirring and turning foods distributes  
heat quickly to the center of the dish and  
avoids overcooking at the outer edges of  
the food.

COOKING GUIDE  
Do not let food or a container touch the  
top or sides of the oven. This will prevent  
possible arcing.  
Covering food  
Cover food to:  
Reduce splattering  
Shorten cooking times  
Retain food moisture  
Using aluminum foil  
Metal containers should not be used in a  
microwave oven. There are, however, some  
exceptions. If you have purchased food  
which is prepackaged in an aluminum foil  
container, then refer to the instructions on  
the package. When using aluminum foil  
containers, cooking times may be longer  
because microwaves will only penetrate  
the top of the food.  
All coverings that allow microwaves to  
pass through are suitable.  
Releasing pressure in foods  
Several foods (for example: baked pota-  
toes, sausages, egg yolks, and some fruits)  
are tightly covered by a skin or membrane.  
This can cause the food to burst from  
steam building up in them during cooking.  
To relieve the pressure and to prevent  
bursting, pierce these foods before cook-  
ing with a fork, cocktail pick, or toothpick.  
If you use aluminum containers without  
package instructions, follow these guidelines:  
Place container in a glass bowl and add  
some water so that it covers the bottom  
Using standing time  
of the container, not more than 1⁄  
inch  
4
Always allow food to stand for a while af-  
ter cooking. Standing time after defrosting,  
cooking, or reheating always improves the  
results since the temperature will then be  
evenly distributed throughout the food.  
The length of the standing time depends  
on the volume and density of the food.  
Sometimes it can be as short as the time  
it takes you to remove the food from the  
oven and take it to the serving table.  
However, with larger, denser food,  
the standing time may be as long as  
10 minutes.  
(6 mm) high. This ensures even heating  
of the container bottom.  
Always remove the lid to avoid damage  
to the oven.  
Use only undamaged containers.  
Do not use containers taller than 34 inch  
(19 mm).  
Container must be half filled.  
To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum  
1
⁄ inch (6 mm) between the aluminum  
4
container and the walls of the oven and also  
between two aluminum containers.  
Arranging food  
Always place container on turntable.  
Reheating food in aluminum foil  
For best results, distribute food evenly on  
the plate. You can do this in several ways:  
containers usually takes up to double the  
time compared to reheating in plastic, glass,  
china, or paper containers. The time when  
food is ready will vary depending upon the  
type of container you use.  
Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after  
heating so that heat is spread evenly  
throughout container.  
If you are cooking several items of the  
same food, such as baked potatoes, place  
them in a ring pattern for uniform cooking.  
When cooking foods of uneven shapes  
or thickness, such as chicken breasts,  
place the smaller or thinner area of the  
food towards the center of the dish where it  
will be heated last.  
Cooking you should not do in  
your microwave oven  
Do not do canning of foods in the oven.  
Closed glass jars may explode, resulting  
in damage to the oven or possible  
per-sonal injury.  
Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize  
objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to  
maintain the high temperature required for  
safe sterilization.  
Layer thin slices of meat on top of  
each other.  
When you cook or reheat whole fish,  
score the skin – this prevents cracking.  
Shield the tail and head of whole fish with  
small pieces of foil to prevent overcooking  
but ensure the foil does not touch the sides  
of the oven.

Questions and Answers  
ANSWERS  
QUESTIONS  
No. If you remove or turn over the turntable,  
you will get poor cooking results. Dishes used  
in your oven must fit on the turntable.  
Can I operate my microwave oven without  
the turntable or turn the turntable over to  
accommodate a large dish?  
You can use a rack only if rack is supplied with  
your microwave oven. Use of any rack not  
supplied with the microwave oven can result in  
poor cooking performance and/or arcing.

What are the humming noises that I hear  
when my microwave oven is operating?  
You hear the sound of the transformer when  
the magnetron tube cycles on.  
Why does the dish become hot when I  
microwave food in it? I thought that this  
should not happen.  
As the food becomes hot it will conduct the  
heat to the dish. Be prepared to use hot pads  
to remove food after cooking.  
“Standing time” means that food should be  
removed from the oven and covered for  
additional time to allow it to finish cooking.  
This frees the oven for other cooking.  
What does “standing time” mean?  
Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn  
following manufacturer’s guidelines or use  
the preprogrammed Popcorn pad. Do not  
use regular paper bags. Use the “listening  
test” by stopping the oven as soon as the  
popping slows to a “pop” every one or two  
seconds. Do not repop unpopped kernels.  
Do not pop popcorn in glass utensils.  
Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven?  
How do I get the best results?  
Why does steam come out of the air  
exhaust vent?  
Steam is normally produced during cooking.  
The microwave oven has been designed to  
vent this steam out the top vents.
