microwave oven unless in a  
special microwave popcorn  
accessory or unless you use  
popcorn labeled for use in  
microwave ovens.  
Operating the microwave  
with no food inside for more  
than a minute or two may  
cause damage to the oven  
and could start a fire. It  
increases the heat around the  
magnetron and can shorten  
the life of the oven.

whole eggs and sealed  
containers—for example,  
closed jars—will explode and  
should not be heated in this  
microwave oven. Such use of  
the microwave oven could  
result in injury.  
Foods with unbroken outer  
“skin” such as potatoes, hot  
dogs, sausages, tomatoes,  
apples, chicken livers and  
other giblets, and egg yolks  
should be pierced to allow  
steam to escape during

build up and cause it to burst  
or overflow.  
To prevent this from happening  
and causing injury, do not heat  
any liquid for more than 2  
minutes per cup. After heating,  
let the cup stand in the  
microwave for 30 seconds  
before moving it or putting  
anything into it.

WARNING!  
MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE  
SeyIfrmation  
Make sure all cookware used in  
your microwave oven is suitable  
for microwaving. Most glass  
casseroles, cooking dishes,  
Cookware may become hot  
because of heat transferred  
from the heated food. Pot  
holders may be needed to  
handle the cookware.

labeled “suitable for microwaving.”  
If you are not sure if a dish is  
microwave-safe, use this test:  
Place in the oven both the dish  
you are testing and a glass  
measuring cup filled with 1 cup  
of water—set the measuring  
cup either in or next to the  
dish. Microwave 30–45  
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.  
OpeagIructions  
seconds at high. If the dish  
heats, it should not be used  
for microwaving.  
Use foil only as directed in  
this guide. TV dinners may  
be microwaved in foil trays  
less than 3/4high; remove  
the top foil cover and return  
the tray to the box. When  
using foil in the microwave  
oven, keep the foil at least  
1 inch away from the sides  
of the oven.  
ips  
If the dish remains cool and  
only the water in the cup  
heats, then the dish is  
microwave-safe.  
If you use a meat thermometer  
while cooking, make sure it is  
safe for use in microwave ovens.  
rubleshotingT  
T
Do not use the microwave to  
“Boilable” cooking pouches  
and tightly closed plastic bags  
should be slit, pierced or vented  
as directed by package. If they  
are not, plastic could burst  
during or immediately after  
cooking, possibly resulting in  
injury. Also, plastic storage  
containers should be at least  
partially uncovered because  
they form a tight seal. When  
cooking with containers  
dry newspapers.  
Not all plastic wrap is suitable  
for use in microwave ovens. Check  
the package for proper use.  
t
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

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
WARNING!  
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of  
electric shock.  
T
rbuleshotingT  
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.  
isp  
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.  
CsnmeSupor  
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.)  
t
For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical outlet  
to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of  
7
circuit breaker.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.  
WARNING!  
ADAPTER PLUGS  
SeyIfrmation  
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, a  
(Adapter plugs not  
permitted in Canada)  
Align large  
prongs/slots  
TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be  
made to a properly grounded two-  
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  
OpeagIructions  
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.  
ips  
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.  
rubleshotingT  
T
Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be disconnected  
frequently.  
t
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 two-prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-  
prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before  
using the appliance.

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—  
OepagIructions  
The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be  
at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;  
The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord and  
it must be plugged into a 3-slot outlet;  
The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not  
drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled  
on by children or tripped over unintentionally.  
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.

Press POWER LEVEL.  
Select desired power level 1–10.  
Press START.  
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 Hi (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.  
START  
OpeagIructions  
ips  
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:  
Hi 10: Fish, bacon, vegetables, boiling liquids.  
t
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.

Microwave terms.  
Term  
Definition  
Arcing  
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is  
caused by:  
SeyIfrmation  
metal or foil touching the side of the oven.  
foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like  
antennas).  
metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes.  
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.  
OpeagIructions  
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  
ips  
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  
Open the oven door a few minutes after cooking to air  
out the inside. 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  
OepagIructions  
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.  
T
Removable Turntable and Turntable Support  
rbuleshotingT  
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.  
isp  
How to Clean the Outside  
Case: Clean the outside of the microwave with a sudsy  
cloth. Rinse and then dry. Wipe the window clean with  
a damp cloth.  
Do not use cleaners containing  
ammonia or alcohol on the  
microwave oven. Ammonia or  
alcohol can damage the  
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.
