Outer Dimensions 29-15/16” x 16-7/16” x 16-15/16”

Cavity Volume 1.6 Cu.ft

Net Weight 52 lbs.

ELECTRICAL RATING

* Electrical Rating of the Oven:120V AC 60Hz

* 13 Amps / 1500 Watts ( MWO + Cooktop Lamp +

Ventilation Fan)

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

The oven is designed to operate on a Standard

120V/60Hz household outlet. Be sure the circuit is at

least 15A or 20A and the microwave oven is the only

appliance on the circuit. It is not designed for 50Hz

or any circuit other than a 120V/60Hz circuit.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. If an electrical

short circuit occurs, grounding reduces the risk of

electric shock by providing an escape wire for the

electric current. The cord for this appliance has a

grounding wire with a grounding plug. Put the plug into

an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING - If you use the grounding

plug improperly, you risk electric shock.

Ask a qualified electrician if you do not understand the

grounding instructions or if you wonder whether the

appliance is properly grounded.

Because this appliance fits under the cabinet, it has a

short power-supply cord. See the separate Installation

Instructions for directions on properly placing the cord.

Keep the electrical power cord dry and do not pinch or

crush it in any way.

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.

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 equipment grounding

terminal or lead on the appliance.

Ensure proper ground

exists before use

AUTO DEFROST

Three defrost choices are preset in the oven. The

defrost feature provides you with the best defrosting

method for frozen foods, because the oven

automatically sets the defrosting times for each food

item according to the weight you enter. For added

convenience, the AUTO DEFROST includes a built-in

tone mechanism that reminds you to check, turn over,

separate, or rearrange the food during the defrost

cycle. Three different defrosting options are provided.

1. MEAT

2. POULTRY

3. FISH

After touching AUTO DEFROST once, select the food

category. Available weight ranges for Meat, Poultry

and Fish are 0.1 to 6.0 lbs.

NOTE:

DEFROSTING TIPS

When using AUTO DEFROST, the weight to be

entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths of

pounds (the weight of the food minus the container).

Use AUTO DEFROST only for raw food. AUTO

DEFROST gives best results when food to be

thawed is a minimum of 0 F (taken directly from a

true freezer). If food has been stored in a

refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a

temperature of 5 F or below, always program a

lower food weight (for a shorter defrosting time)

to prevent cooking the food.

If the food is stored outside the freezer for up to

20 minutes, enter a lower food weight.

The shape of the package alters the defrosting

time. Shallow rectangular packets defrost more

quickly than a deep block.

Separate pieces as they begin to defrost.

Separated pieces defrost more easily.

You can use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield

shieldfoods like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish

tailsbut the foil must not touch the side of the

oven.Foil causes arcing, which can damage the

Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if

they start to become warm.

For even, complete defrosting, use the defrosting

rack.

For best results, elevate food to be defrosted on

a microwave safe roasting rack. This prevents

the possibility of warm meat juices cooking food

during defrost.

COOKING

GETTING THE BEST COOKING

RESULTS

To get the best results from your microwave oven, read

and follow the guidelines below.

• Storage Temperature: Foods taken from the freezer

or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same

foods at room temperature. The time for recipes in

this book is based on the normal storage temperature

of the food.

• Size: Small pieces of food cook faster than large

ones, pieces similar in size and shape cook more

evenly. For even cooking, reduce the power when

cooking large pieces of food.

• Natural Moisture: Very moist foods cook more

evenly because microwave energy is attracted to

water molecules.

• Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables from

the outside to the center to distribute the heat evenly

and speed cooking. Constant stirring is not

necessary.

• Turn over foods like pork chops, baking potatoes,

roasts, or whole cauliflower halfway through the

cooking time to expose all sides equally to microwave

energy.

• Place delicate areas of foods, such as asparagus

tips, toward the center of the dish.

• Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken

pieces or salmon steaks, with the thicker, meatier

parts toward the outside of the dish.

• Shield, with Small pieces of aluminum foil, parts of

food that may cook quickly, such as wing tips and leg

ends of poultry.

• Let It Stand: After you remove the food from the

microwave, cover food with foil or casserole lid and let

it stand to finish cooking in the center and avoid

overcooking the outer edges. The length of standing

time depends on the density and surface area of the

food.

• Wrapping in waxed paper or paper towel:

Sandwiches and many other foods containing

prebaked bread should be wrapped prior to

microwaving to prevent drying out.

• Prepare the fish for cooking.

- Completely defrost the fish or shellfish.

- Arrange unevenly shaped pieces with thicker parts

toward the outside of the dish. Arrange shellfish in a

single layer for even cooking.

- The type of cover you use depends on how you

cook. Poached fish needs a microwavable lid or

vented plastic wrap.

- Baked fish, coated fish, or fish in sauce needs to be

covered lightly with waxed paper to keep the coating

crisp and sauce from getting watery.

- Always set the shortest cooking time. Fish is done

when it turns opaque and the thickest part begins to

flake. Shellfish is done when the shell turns from

pink to red and the flesh is opaque and firm.

• The Fish and Shellfish Cooking Table below provides

specific directions with Power Level and Cooking

Time settings for most types of fish and shellfish.

COOKING

Appetizers / Sauces / Soups

Cooking Appetizers: Tips and

Techniques

Recommended

• crackers, such as melba toast, shredded wheat, and

crisp rye crackers are best for microwave use. Wait

until party time to add the spreads. Place a paper

towel under the crackers while they cook in the

microwave oven to absorb extra moisture.

• Arrange individual appetizers in a circle for even

cooking.

• Stir dips to distribute heat and shorten cooking time.

Cooking Sauces: Tips and Techniques

• Use a microwavable casserole or glass measuring

cup that is at least 2 or 3 times the volume of the

sauce.

• Sauces made with cornstarch thicken more rapidly

than those made with flour.

Cooking Soups: Tips and Techniques

• Cook soups in a microwavable dish which holds

double the volume of the recipe ingredients to prevent

boil-over, especially if you use cream or milk in the

soup.

• Generally, cover microwaved soups with VENTED

plastic wrap or a microwavable lid.

• Cover foods to retain moisture. Uncover foods to

retain crispness.

• Avoid overcooking by using the minimum suggested

time. Add more time, if necessary, only after checking

the food.

Not Recommended

• Appetizers with a crisp coating or puff pastry are best

done in a conventional oven with dry heat.

• Breaded products can be warmed in the microwave

oven but will not come out crisp.

• Cook sauces made with cornstarch or flour uncovered

so you may stir them 2 or 3 times during cooking for a

smooth consistency.

• To adapt a conventional sauce or gravy recipe,

reduce the amount of liquid slightly.

• Stirring occasionally will help blend flavors, distribute

heat evenly, and may even shorten the cooking time.

• When converting a conventional soup recipe to cook

in the microwave, reduce the liquid, salt, and strong

seasonings.

Potato

This set may help you to cook potatoes with the recommendatory

time as below. You can choose from 1 to 4 potatoes.

NOTE:

• Cooking time based on an average 9 ounces potato.

• Before baking, pierce potato with fork several times.

• After baking, let it stand for 5 minutes.

Meat

Cooking Meat: General Directions

• Prepare the meat for cooking.

- Defrost completely.

- Trim off excess fat to avoid splattering.

- Place the meat, fat side down, on a microwavable

rack in a microwavable dish.

- Use oven cooking bag for less tender cuts of meat.

- Arrange the meat so that thicker portions are toward

the outside of the dish.

- Cover the meat with waxed paper to prevent

splattering.

• Tend the meat as it cooks.

- Drain juices as they accumulate to reduce

splattering and keep from overcooking the bottom of

the meat.

- Shield thin or bony portions with strips of foil to

prevent overcooking.

NOTE: Keep the foil at least 1 inch from the oven

walls, and do not cover more than one-third of the meat

with foil at any one time.

• Let the meat stand covered with foil 10-15 minutes

after you remove it from the oven. The internal

temperature of the meat may rise from 5-10°F during

standing time.

The Meat Cooking Table on the next page provides

detailed directions, Power Level, and Cooking Time

settings for most cuts of meat.
