cord is too short, have a quali ed electrician install a
three-slot receptacle. This oven should be plugged into a
separate 60 hertz circuit with the electrical ratting as
shown in speci cations table. When the oven is on a
circuit with other equipment, an increase in cooking times
may be required and fuses can be blown.
Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be
disconnected frequently:
Microwave operates on standard household current, 110-
120V.
Do not use an adapter plug
in these situations. Frequent
disconnection of the power cord places undue strain on the
adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground
terminal. Have a quali ed electrician replace the 2-prong
wall receptacle with a 3-prong (grounding) receptacle
before using the appliance.
Arcing
If you see arcing, press STOP and correct the problem.
Arcing is the term for sparks in your microwave oven. Arcing
is caused by:
Incorrect installation of the metal shelf so that it is
touching the microwave wall.
Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
Use of foil which is not molded to the food. (The edges
act as antennas).
Other metals, such a twist ties, poultry pins or metallic-
rimmed dishes, in the microwave.
Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces
used in the oven.

Microwave utensil guide
Use
Do not use
Oven proof glass (specifically
treated for high intensity heat):
Utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates,
cake plates, liquid measuring cups,
casseroles and bowls without
metallic trim.
Metal utensils:
Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces uneven
cooking. Also, avoid metal skewers, thermometers or foil trays. Metal
utensils can cause arcing, which can damage your microwave oven.
Metal decoration:
Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters without metallic trim.
China:
Bowls, cups, serving plates and
platters without metallic trim.
Aluminum foil:
Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking and
may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs
and wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the side walls of
the oven cavity and door of the microwave.
Plastic:
Plastic wrap (as a cover) - lay the
plastic wrap loosely over the dish
and press it to the sides. Vent
plastic wrap by turning back one
edge slightly to allow excess steam
to escape. The dish should be deep
enough so that the plastic wrap will
not touch the food. Use plastic
dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer
containers and plastic bags for short
cooking times. Use these with care
because the plastic may soften from
the heat of the food.
Wood:
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when you
use them in the microwave oven. Baskets made of wood will react in the
same way.
Tightly covered utensils:
e sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered cookware.
Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before cooking.
Tightly closed pouches may explode.
Brown paper:
Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb heat and can burn.
Paper:
Paper towels, waxed paper, paper
napkins and paper plates with no
metallic trim or design. Look for the
manufacturer’s label for any special
instructions for use in the

Cleaning suggestions
For best performance and for safety reasons, keep the
oven clean inside and outside. Take special care to keep
the inner door panel and oven from frame free of food and
grease build-up.
Wash the oven door window with very mild soap
and water. Be sure to use a soft clean cloth to avoid
scratching.
If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven
door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accumulate
when operating the oven in high humidity and in no
way indicates microwave leakage.
Never use rough scouring powder or pads on the
microwave. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out with a
soft cloth and warm (not hot) mild detergent solution. Then
rinse and wipe completely dry.
Never operate the oven without food in the oven
cavity; this can damage the magnetron tube or
glass tray. You may wish to leave a cup of water
standing inside the oven when it is not in use to
prevent damage if the oven is accidentally turned on.
Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel,
especially after cooking greasy foods like chicken or bacon.
Clean your microwave oven weekly or more often, if
needed.
Follow these instructions to clean and care for your
microwave oven:
Keep the inside (cavity) of the oven clean. Food particles
and spilled liquids can stick to the oven walls, causing
the oven to work less e ciently.
Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp, clean cloth and
mild soap. DO NOT use harsh detergents or abrasive
cleaners.
To help loosen baked-on food particles or liquids, heat 2
cups of water (add the juice of 1 lemon if you desire to
keep the oven fresh smelling) in a 4 cup measuring glass
at High power for 5 minutes or until boiling. Let stand in
oven cavity for 1 or 2 minutes.
Remove the glass turntable tray from the oven when
cleaning the oven cavity or tray. To prevent the glass
turntable from breaking, handle with care and do not put
it in water immediately after cooking. Wash the turntable
tray in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher.
Clean the outside surface of the microwave with soap
and a clean damp cloth. Dry with a clean soft cloth. To
prevent damage to the operating parts of the oven, do
not let water seep into any vents or openings.
