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
electrical current. This appliance is equipped with a cord
that includes a grounding wire and a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded.
WARNING
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of

Extension Cords” section below.
Use of Extension Cords
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk
of your becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available
and you can use them if you exercise care. If you use a
long cord or extension cord:
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or
extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire
cord and it must be plugged into a 3-slot outlet.
3. The longer 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 accidentally.

cookware guide
For food to cook in the microwave oven, the
microwaves must be able to penetrate the food
without being reflected or absorbed by the dish.
It is important to choose the correct cookware,
therefore, look for cookware that is marked
microwave-safe.
The following table lists various types of
cookware and indicates if and how they should
be used in a microwave oven.
MICROWAVE-SAFE UTENSILS
If you are not sure whether an item is microwave-safe or
not, you can perform the following simple test:
1. Place 1 cup of water (in a glass-measuring cup) inside
your oven next to the item to be tested.
2. Press the Add 30 Sec. button twice to heat them
both for one minute at high power.
After one minute, the water should be warm and the item
you are testing should be cool. If the dish is warm, then
it is absorbing microwave energy and is not microwave-
safe.
Cookware Comments

cooking guide
Microwave energy actually penetrates food,
attracted and absorbed by the water, fat and
sugar in the food. The microwaves cause the
molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid
movement of these molecules creates friction
and the resulting heat cooks the food.
GENERAL MICROWAVE TIPS
Dense foods, such as potatoes, take longer to heat than
lighter foods. Foods with a delicate texture should be
heated at a low power level to avoid becoming tough.
Foods with a non-porous skin such as potatoes or hot
dogs, should be pierced to prevent bursting.
Putting heating oil or fat in the microwave is not
recommended. Fat and oil can suddenly boil over and
cause severe burns.
Some ingredients heat faster than others. For example,
the jelly in the jelly doughnut will be hotter than the dough.
Keep this in mind to avoid burns.
The altitude and the type of cookware you are using
can aect the cooking time. When trying a new recipe,
use the minimum cooking time and check the food
occasionally to prevent overcooking.
Home canning in the microwave oven is not
recommended because not all harmful bacteria may be
destroyed by the microwave heating process.
Although microwaves do not heat the cookware, the heat
from the food is often transferred to the cookware. Always
use pot holders when removing food from the microwave
and instruct children to do the same.
Making candy in the microwave is not recommended as
candy can be heated to very high temperatures. Keep this
in mind to avoid injury.
Cooking techniques
If the oven is set to cook for more than 25 minutes, it
will automatically adjust to 70 percent power after 25
minutes to avoid overcooking.
Stirring
Open the microwave door and stir foods such as
casseroles and vegetables occasionally while cooking
to distribute heat evenly. Food at the outside of the dish
absorbs more energy and heats more quickly, so stir
from the outside towards the center. The oven will turn o
when you open the door to stir your food.
Arrangement
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces
or chops, with the thicker, meatier parts toward the
outside of the turntable where they can receive more
microwave energy. To prevent overcooking, place thin or
delicate parts towards the center of the turntable.
Shielding
Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent
overcooking. Areas that need shielding include poultry
wing-tips, the ends of poultry legs, and corners of square
baking dishes. Use only small amounts of aluminum foil.
Larger amounts can damage your oven.

Turning
Turn foods over midway through the cooking cycle
to expose all parts to the microwave energy. This is
especially important with large items such as roasts.
Standing
Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat
and continue to cook for a few minutes after the oven
stops. Let foods stand to complete the cooking process,
especially foods such as roasts and whole vegetables.
Roasts need this time to complete cooking in the center
without overcooking the outer areas. All liquids, such as
soup or hot chocolate should be shaken or stirred when
cooking is complete. Let liquids stand a moment before
serving. When heating baby food, stir well and test the
temperature before serving.
Adding moisture
Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food
that is uneven in moisture content should be covered or
allowed to stand so that the heat disperses evenly. Add a
small amount of water to dry food to help it cook.
Venting
After covering a dish with plastic wrap, vent the plastic
wrap by turning back one corner to let excess steam
escape.
COOKING MEAT
Place the meat fat side down on a microwave-safe
roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish. Use narrow strips
of aluminum foil to shield any bone tips or thin pieces of
meat. Check the temperature in several places before

COOKING EGGS
You can use your microwave oven to cook eggs. Cook
them until they are just set as they become tough if they
are overcooked.
WARNING
Never cook eggs in their shells and never warm
up hard-boiled eggs in their shells. Eggs cooked
or warmed up in their shells can explode. Always
pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting.
COOKING VEGETABLES
Vegetables should be washed prior to cooking. Usually,
no extra water is needed. When cooking dense
vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and green beans,
add about ¼ cup water.
Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.)
will cook faster than larger ones.
Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or
corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the
turntable before cooking. They will cook more evenly if
turned over halfway through the cooking process.
Always place vegetables such as asparagus and broccoli
with the stems pointing towards the edge of the dish and
the tips toward the center.
When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with
a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap.
Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, squash,
eggplant, etc., should have their skins pierced in several
spots before cooking to prevent them from bursting.
For a more even cooking result, stir or rearrange whole
vegetables halfway through the cook time.
Generally, the denser the food, the longer the standing
time. (The standing time refers to the time necessary for
dense, large foods and vegetables to finish cooking after
they come out of the oven.) A baked potato can stand on
the counter for five minutes before cooking is completed,
while a dish of peas can be served immediately.

cleaning and
maintaining your
microwave oven
Keeping your microwave oven clean improves
its performance, wards o unnecessary repairs,
and lengthens its life.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
It’s best to clean spills on the outside of your microwave
oven as they occur. Use a soft cloth and warm, soapy
water. Rinse and dry.
CAUTION
Do not get water into the vents. Never use abrasive
products or chemical solvents such as ammonia or
alcohol as they can damage the appearance of your
microwave.
Cleaning under your microwave oven
Regularly clean grease and dust from the bottom of your
microwave using a solution of warm water and detergent.
Cleaning the control panel
Wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Do not
use cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water,
abrasives or sharp objects on the panel as it is easily
damaged.
Cleaning the door and door seals
Always ensure that the door seals are clean and that the
door closes properly. Take particular care when cleaning
the door seals to ensure that no particles accumulate and
prevent the door from closing correctly. Wash the glass
door with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft
cloth to avoid scratching.
If a thin film of water accumulates on the inside or outside
of the oven door, wipe it o with a soft cloth. A thin water
film can accumulate when you operate the oven at high
humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
CAUTION
Ensure that the microwave oven has cooled down
before cleaning it to avoid injury.
CAUTION
Remove the glass tray from the oven when cleaning
the oven or tray. To prevent the tray from breaking,
handle it with care and do not put it in water
immediately after cooking. Wash the tray carefully in
warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher.
Clean the interior surfaces (oven cavity) of your microwave
oven periodically to remove any splashes or stains. To
remove hardened food articles and remove smells, place
2 cups of water (add lemon juice for extra freshness) into
a four-cup measuring glass. Run the microwave at High
power for 5 minutes or until the water boils. Let water
stand in the oven for one or two minutes.
