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 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, as they may  
also ignite.

I Do not use the microwave to  
dry newspapers.  
I Not all plastic wrap is suitable  
for use in microwave ovens.  
Check the package for  
proper use.  
If the dish remains cool  
and only the water in the  
cup heats, then the dish is  
microwave-safe.  
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 If you use a meat  
thermometer while cooking,  
make sure it is safe for use  
in microwave ovens.  
I Cookware may become hot  
because of heat transferred  
from the heated food.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.  
WARNING!  
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of  
electric shock.  
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
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 power cord having a grounding  
wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an  
outlet that is properly installed and grounded.  
Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the grounding  
instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to  
whether the appliance is properly grounded.  
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal  
responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly  
grounded 3-prong wall outlet.  
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground)  
prong from the power cord.  
We do not recommend using an extension cord with this appliance.  
If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service  
technician install an outlet near the appliance. (See WARNING—  
EXTENSION CORDS section.)  
For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical outlet  
to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit  
breaker.

ADAPTER PLUGS  
Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be disconnected  
infrequently.  
Because of potential safety  
hazards under certain conditions,  
we strongly recommend against the  
use of an adapter plug. However,  
if you still elect to use an adapter,  
where local codes permit,  
(Adapter plugs not  
permitted in Canada)  
Align large  
prongs/slots  
a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may  
be made to a properly grounded  
2-prong wall receptacle by the use  
of a UL listed adapter which is  
available at most local hardware stores.  
Ensure proper ground  
and firm connection  
before use.  
TEMPORARY  
METHOD  
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot  
in the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection  
of the power cord.  
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.  
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 a proper ground has  
again been established.  
Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be disconnected  
frequently.  
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because frequent  
disconnection of the power cord places undue strain on the  
adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground  
terminal. You should have the 2-prong wall receptacle replaced  
with a 3-prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician  
before using the appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.  
WARNING!  
EXTENSION CORDS  
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting  
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.  
Extension cords may be used if you are careful in using them.  
If an extension cord is used—  
The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be  
at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;  
1
The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord and  
it must be plugged into a 3-slot outlet;  
2
The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not  
drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled  
on by children or tripped over unintentionally.  
3
If you use an extension cord, the interior light may flicker and the  
blower sound may vary when the microwave oven is on. Cooking  
times may be longer, too.

About changing the power level.

level may also be changed during time countdown.  
Press TIME COOK or select Time Defrost.

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. Power level 7 is microwave energy  
70% of the time. Power level 3 is energy 30% of the  
time. 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.  
Here are some examples of uses for various power levels:  
High 10: Fish, bacon, vegetables, boiling liquids.  
Med-High 7: Gentle cooking of meat and poultry;  
baking casseroles and reheating.  
Medium 5: Slow cooking and tenderizing for stews and  
less tender cuts of meat.  
Low 2 or 3: Defrosting; simmering; delicate sauces.  
Warm 1: Keeping food warm; softening butter.

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.  
A dull thumping noise may be heard during defrosting.  
This is normal when oven is not operating at High power.  
Defrosting Tips  
I Foods 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.  
I Family-size, prepackaged frozen dinners can be  
defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil  
container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.  
I
Foods 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.  
I For more even defrosting of larger foods, such as  
roasts, use Auto Defrost. Be sure large meats are  
completely defrosted before cooking.  
I When 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.

About the sensor features.  
Humidity Sensor  
The Sensor Features detect the increasing humidity  
released during cooking. The oven automatically adjusts  
the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.  
Do not use the Sensor Features twice in succession  
on the same food portion—it may result in severely  
overcooked or burnt food. If food is undercooked  
after the countdown, use Time Cook for additional  
cooking time.  
I The proper containers and covers are essential for  
best sensor cooking.  
Covered  
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.  
Vented  
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.  
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 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 over-browning. 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.

Care and cleaning of the microwave oven.  
Helpful Hints  
An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of  
baking soda and water keeps the inside fresh.  
Unplug the cord before cleaning any part of this oven.  
How to Clean the Inside  
Walls, Floor, Inside Window, Metal and Plastic Parts on  
the Door  
Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel, others  
may require a damp cloth. Remove greasy spatters with  
a sudsy cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth. Do not use  
abrasive cleaners or sharp utensils on oven walls.  
To clean the surface of the door and the surface of the oven that  
come together upon closing, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or  
detergents using a sponge or soft cloth. Rinse with a damp cloth  
and dry.  
Never use a commercial oven cleaner on any part of your  
microwave.  
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. The turntable and support  
can be broken if dropped. Remember, do not operate  
the oven without the turntable and support in place.

How to Clean the Outside  
Do not use cleaners containing ammonia or alcohol on the  
microwave oven. Ammonia or alcohol can damage the  
appearance of the microwave.  
Case  
Clean the outside of the microwave with a sudsy cloth.  
Rinse and then dry. Wipe the window clean with a  
damp cloth.  
Control Panel and Door  
Wipe with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use  
cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water,  
abrasives or sharp objects on the panel—they can  
damage it. Some paper towels can also scratch the  
control panel.  
Door Surface  
It’s important to keep the area clean where the door  
seals against the microwave. Use only mild, non-abrasive  
detergents applied with a clean sponge or soft cloth.  
Rinse well.  
Stainless Steel  
To clean the surface use hot soapy water, then rinse  
and dry. Do not use steel wool pads or other abrasive  
cleaners. They will scratch the surface.
