before cooking.

3. Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes, and sim=lar foods

before cooking with microwave energy When skin is

pierced, steam escapes evenly

4. Do not operate oven without load or food in oven

cavity

5 Use only popcorn in packages designed and labeled

for microwave use. Popping time varies depending on

oven wattage. Do not continue to heat after popping

has stopped Popcorn will scorch or burn Do not

leave oven unattended.

6. Do not use regular cooking thermometers in oven

Most cooking thermometers contain mercury and

may cause an electrical arc, malfunction, or damage

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Groundin

instructions

Oven MUST be grounded. Grounding reduces risk of

electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric

current if an electrical short occurs. This oven is equipped

with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug.

The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly

installed and grounded. See Installation Instructions.

Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if grounding

instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt

exists as to whether the oven is properly grounded.

Do not use an extension cord. If the product power cord

is too short, have a qualified electrician install a three-slot

receptacle. This oven should be plugged into a separate

60 hertz circuit with the electrical rating as shown in

specifications table. When the oven is on a circuit with

other equipment, an increase in cooking times may be

required and fuses can be blown.

Microwave operates on standard household current, 110-

120V.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIO

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.

* Size: Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones, pieces similar in size and shape cook more evenly For even

I _UU£,_ LI I_ Vl It_l I bUU6.11 I,_ly_ lal_u_ of luuu.

puvwl lyb UUI_.II ly_

* Natural Moisture: Very Moist foods cook more evenly because Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules.

- Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables from [he outside [o the ceri[er 1odistribute the heat evenly and speed

- Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or salmon steaks, with the thicker, meatier parts toward the

outside of the dish.

. Shield, w_th small pieces of aluminum foil, parts of food that may cook quickly, such as wing tips and leg ends of

poultry

oLet JtStand: After you remove the food from the microwave, cover food with foil or casserole hd and let it stand to

finish cooking in the center and avoid overcook_ng 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 1omicrowawng to prevent drying out.

of time, and another Power Level for

another length of time.Your oven can

be set to change from one to another

Operating Instructions

SENSOR OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

Sensor Cook allows you to cook

most of your favorite foods without

selecting cooking times and power

levels. The display will indicate the

sensing period by scrolling the name

of the food. The oven automatically

determines required cooking time for

each food item. When the internal

sensor detects a certain amount

of humidity coming from the food, it

will tell the oven how much longer

to cook. The display will show the

remaining heating time.

For best results when cooking

by Sensor, follow these

recommendations:

1. Food cooked with the sensor

system should be at normal

storage temperature.

2. Glass turntable and outside of

container should be dry to assure

best cooking results.

3. Most foods should always be

covered loosely with microwavable

plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a lid.

4. Do not open the door or touch

the STOP/CLEAR pad during the

sensing time. When sensing time

is over, the oven beeps and the

remaining cooking time will appear

in the display window. At this time

you can open the door to stir, turn,

or rearrange the food.

IMPORTANT:

When using sensor cook, the oven

must cool for 5 minutes between

uses or food will not cook properly.

SENSOR COOKING

GUIDE

Appropriate containers and coverings

help assure good Sensor cooking

results.

1. Always use microwavable con-

tainers and cover them with lids or

vented plastic wrap.

2. Never use tight-sealing plastic

covers. They can prevent steam

from escaping and cause food to

overcook.

3. Match the amount to the size of the

container. Fill containers at least

half full for best results.

4. Be sure the outside of the cooking

container 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.

NOTE:

If food is not thoroughly cooked or

reheated when using the sensor

feature, complete using a power

level and cooking time. DO NOT

continue using the sensor pad.

DEFROSTTIPS

•When usingAUTO DEFROST,the

weight to be entered isthe netweight in

poundsand tenths of pounds (the weight

ofthe food minus the container).

• UseAUTO DEFROST onlyfor raw

food.AUTO DEFROST gives best

results when foodto bethawed isa

minimum of 0°F (takendirectly froma

true freezer). If food has been stored

in a refrigerator-freezer that does not

maintain a temperature of 5°For below,

alwaysprogram a lower foodweight (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 lowerfood

weight.

• Theshape of the package alters the

defrostingtime. Shallow rectangular

packets defrost more quicklythan a

deep block.

• Separate piecesas they begin to defrost.

Separated pieces defrost more easily.

• Shieldareas offood with small pieces of

foil if they start to become warm.

,,Youcan usesmall pieces of alu-minum

foil to shield foods like chickenwings, leg

tips, and fish tails, but the foilmust not

touch the side of the oven. Foilcauses

arcing, which can damage the oven

lining.

1POUND DEFROST

The 1POUND DEFROSTfeature provides

a rapid defrost for 1.0pound frozenfood.

WIRE RACK

The wire rack gives you extra space

when cooking in more than one

container at the same time.

To use rack:

1. Place rack securely in the four

plastic supports.

• Rack MUST NOT touch metal

walls or back of microwave oven.

2. Place equal amounts of food both

ABOVE AND BELOW rack.

• Amount of food must be

approximately the same to

balance out cooking energy.

IMPORTANT:

• DO NOT store or use the wire

than one item is being cooked or

a recipe calls for it.

• Damage to the oven could occur.
