Foods cooked in liquids  
(such as pasta) may tend to boil  
over more rapidly than foods  
containing less moisture.  
Should this occur, refer to the  
Care and Cleaning section for  
instructions on how to clean the

Do not boil eggs in a  
microwave oven. Pressure will  
build up inside egg yolk and  
will cause it to burst, possibly  
resulting in injury.  
Some products such as  
whole eggs and sealed

closed jars—will explode and  
should not be heated in this  
microwave oven. Such use of  
the microwave oven could

Questions & Answers  
Q. If my food is not completely  
reheated after using Auto  
Reheat, what should I do?  
Containers and Covers  
Appropriate containers and  
coverings help assure good  
reheating results.  
A. Food must have some moisture  
in order to create steam which  
helps the auto sensor function.  
A. Use Time Cook & to reheat  
for additional time until desired  
temperature is reached.  
Always use microwave-safe  
containers and cover them with  
lids, wax paper or plastic wrap.  
Wonder it’s microwave safe’? Put

Q. What if I don’t fully cover the  
dish in Auto Reheat?  
Microwaving Tips section.  
Q. May I use Auto Reheat when  
I am reheating many foods in  
more than one dish or casserole?  
A. Oven senses steam too quickly,  
which shortens the reheating time  
and leaves food too cool. Cover  
tightly and reset Auto Reheat.  
Never use tight-sealing plastic  
lids—they can prevent steam from  
escaping and cause poor reheating  
results.  
A. No. Because of different  
densities, attention needed during

of the microwave oven are dry  
before placing food in the oven.  
Beads of moisture turning into

Q. Are there any other foods  
which are reheated best using  
Time Cook I & II, rather than  
Auto Reheat?  
Stir or rotate some foods after  
the beeping signal (if required).  
A. Bakery foods, candies,  
chocolate or foods when a dry or  
crisp surface is desirable, are  
reheated best by Time Cook & 11.  
Q. Would my plastic containers  
with very tight fitting lids be  
appropriate for Auto Reheat?  
Use microwave-safe casseroles or  
bowls. Cover with lids that fit. If  
lids are not available, use plastic  
wrap or wax paper. Plastic wrap  
should be loose over food to allow  
for escaping steam. Seal by  
pressing plastic wrap firmly  
around edges.  
A. No, most types of plastic  
storage dishes, butter tubs, etc.  
with tight fitting lids are not  
recommended for microwaving.  
Also tight fitting plastic lids may  
prevent adequate steam from  
escaping and food may not heat  
properly during Auto Reheat.

Use of Extension Cords  
Because of potential safety hazards  
under certain conditions, we  
strongly recommend against the  
use of an extension cord. However,  
if it is necessary to use an  
extension cord, use only a 3-wire  
extension cord that has a 3-blade  
grounding plug, and a 3-slot  
receptacle that will accept the plug  
on the appliance. The marked  
rating of the extension cord shall  
be equal to or greater than the  
electrical rating of the appliance  
(15 amperes).

before use  
The larger slot in the adapter must  
be aligned with the larger slot in  
the wall receptacle to provide  
proper polarity in the connection  
the power cord.  
Where a standard two-prong wall  
receptacle is encountered, it is your  
personal responsibility and  
obligation to have it replaced with  
a properly grounded three-prong  
wall receptacle.  
If you do use an extension cord  
with your microwave oven, the  
interior light may flicker and the  
blower sound may vary when oven  
is in use. Cook times may be  
longer as well.  
Caution: Attaching the adapter  
ground terminal to the wall  
receptacle cover screw does not  
ground the appliance unless the  
cover screw is metal, and not  
insulated, and the wall receptacle  
is grounded through the house  
wiring. You should have the circuit  
checked by a qualified electrician  
to make sure the receptacle is  
properly grounded.  
Do not under any circumstances  
cut or remove the third (ground)  
prong from the power cord.  
A short power-supply cord is  
provided to reduce risks of  
becoming entangled in or tripping  
over a longer cord. Do not drape  
the cord over a countertop or table  
where it can be pulled on by  
children or tripped over  
accidentally.  
When disconnecting the power  
cord from the adapter, always hold  
the adapter with one hand. If this  
is not done, the adapter ground  
terminal is very likely to break  
with repeated use. Should this  
happen, DO NOT USE the  
appliance until proper ground has  
again been established.
