In Case of Fire
If materials inside an oven should ignite:
1.
Keep door closed
2.
Turn appliance off
3.
Unplug the appliance or shut off at fuse or circuit
breaker
Liquids
Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea could be
overheated. They can be heated beyond the boiling point
without appearing to boil. For example, visible bubbling
or boiling when the container is removed from the
microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD
RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING
OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A
UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
When heating liquids, always place a glass rod/spoon in
the container. This will prevent delayed boiling.
CAUTION
Metal e.g. a spoon in a glass must be kept at least 1 in
(25 mm) from the oven walls and the inside of the door.
Sparks could irreparably damage the glass on the inside
of the door.
▯ Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat
up more quickly and evenly in microwaveable
ovenware. The different components of the meal may
not require the same amount of time to heat up.
▯ Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable
cover for your container, use a plate or special
microwave foil.
▯ Stir or turn the food several times during cooking.
Check the temperature.
▯ After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to
5 minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.
▯ Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when
removing plates from the oven.
Cooking Items
Eggs: Do not cook or reheat whole eggs, with or without
shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to
explode, and possibly damage the oven or cause injury.
Reheating sliced hard-boiled eggs and cooking
scrambled eggs is safe.
Popcorn: Use only popcorn in packages designed and
labeled for microwave use, or pop it in a microwave oven
corn popper. Follow popcorn manufacturers’ directions
and use a brand suitable for the wattage of your oven.
Do not continue to heat after popping has stopped.
Popcorn will scorch or burn. Do not leave oven
unattended.
CAUTION
When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, check
package weight before using the popcorn function. Set
the oven for the weight of the popcorn package. If these
instructions are not followed, popcorn may not pop
adequately or may ignite and cause fire.
Foods with nonporous skins: Potatoes, tomatoes, sweet
potatoes, apples, whole squash and sausages are
examples of foods with nonporous skins. These types of
foods must be pierced before cooking to prevent them
from exploding.
Baby food / Baby formula: Do not heat baby bottles or
food in microwave oven. The glass jar or the surface of
food may appear warm while the interior can burn the
infant’s mouth and esophagus.
Deep fat frying: Do not deep fat fry in oven. Oil can be
heated beyond ideal temperatures very quickly in a
microwave oven. Temperatures can climb high enough
for the cooking oils to reach their respective flash points
and burst into flames. The heated oil may bubble and
spatter causing possible damage to the oven and
perhaps result in burns. Additionally, microwave–safe
utensils may not be able to withstand the temperature of
the hot oil, and could result in the utensil shattering, if it
contains a slight imperfection, scratch or chip.
Home Canning / Drying foods / Small quantities of
foods: Do not use microwave oven for home canning or
heating of any closed jar. Pressure will build up and the
jar may explode. In addition, the oven cannot maintain
the food at the proper canning temperature. Improperly
canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.
Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture
content can dry out, burn or catch on fire.

the oven.
▯ Fruit juice can leave stains in the oven. Always remove
fruit juice immediately when safe to touch, and wipe up
first with a damp and then a dry cloth.
▯ Cooling with the appliance door open: only allow the
oven cavity to cool when it is closed. Even if the
appliance door is only open a little, front panels of
adjacent units could be damaged over time.
▯ Highly soiled door seal: the appliance door will no
longer close properly during operation if the door seal
is highly soiled. Adjoining furniture fronts may be
damaged. Always keep the door seal clean.
▯ Appliance door as a seat or storage surface: do not
stand, sit or hang on the appliance door. Do not place
any cookware or accessories on the appliance door.
▯ Inserting accessories: depending on the appliance
type, accessories can scratch the door pane when
closing the appliance door. Always slide accessories
fully into the oven interior.
▯ Do not hold or carry the appliance by the door handle.
The door handle cannot carry the weight of the device
and could break off, or the hinges can be damaged.
▯ Operating the microwave without food in the oven
cavity may lead to overloading. Never run the
microwave unless there is food in the oven cavity. An
exception to this rule is a short ovenware test, see
section ~ "Microwave utensil guide"
▯ Always set the microwave power as recommended for
the food. High power settings can overheat foods very

Getting to know the appliance
Parts
Oven Vents
The oven vents are located around the sides of the oven
cavity. Warm air may be released from the top and
bottom vents before, during and after cooking. It is
normal to see steam escaping from these vents, and
condensation may collect in this area. This area may be
warm when the oven is in use. Do not block any vents,
since they are important for air circulation.
Cooling Fan
The cooling fan runs during all cooking modes. The fan
can be heard when it is running, and warm air may be
felt as it is released from the oven vents. The fan may
also run after the oven is off.
Oven light
The oven light turns off to save energy after one minute
with the door open. To turn the light back on, close the
door and open it again.

wrap by turning back one edge slightly to allow excess
steam to escape. The dish should be deep enough so
that the plastic wrap will not touch the food.
▯ Microwave-safe plastics:
Microwave-safe plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer
containers and plastic bags for short cooking times.
Use these with care because the plastic may soften
from the heat of the food.
▯ Paper products:
Paper towels, wax paper, parchment paper, paper
napkins and paper plates with no metallic trim or
design. Look for the manufacturers label for any
special instructions for use in the microwave oven.
Unsuitable ovenware
▯ Metal utensils and cookware:
Metal shields the food from microwave energy and
produces uneven cooking. Also, avoid metal skewers,
thermometers or foil trays. Metal utensils can cause
arcing, which can damage your microwave oven.
▯ Metal decoration:
Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters with metallic
trim.
▯ Aluminum foil:
Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they
hinder cooking and may cause harmful arcing. Use
small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and wings.
Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) from
the side walls of the oven cavity and door of the
microwave.
▯ Wood:
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split
or crack when you use them in the microwave oven.
Baskets made of wood will react in the same way.
▯ Tightly covered cookware:
Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from
covered cookware. Pierce plastic pouches of
vegetables or other food items before cooking. Tightly
closed pouches may explode.
▯ Brown paper:
Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb heat and
can burn.
12
▯ Flawed or chipped cooking utensils:
Any utensil that is cracked, flawed or chipped may
break in the oven.
▯ Metal twist ties:
Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags.

rule.
Perform the following test if you are unsure whether your
ovenware is suitable for use in the microwave:
1.
Heat the empty ovenware at maximum power for ½ to
1 minute.
2.
Check the temperature occasionally during that time.
The ovenware should still be cold or warm to the touch.
The ovenware is unsuitable if it becomes hot or if sparks
are generated.

Suggestions for best results
To help you achieve the best possible results from your
microwave oven, read the following suggestions below:
▯ Storage temperature
Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take
longer to cook.
▯ Size
Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones.
Pieces similar in size and shape will cook more evenly
when cooked together. For more even results, reduce
the power levels when cooking large pieces of food.
▯ Natural moisture
Very moist foods cook more evenly because
microwave energy heats water molecules very
efficiently.
▯ Stirring
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetable from the
outside to the center to distribute the heat more
evenly. This will allow the food to cook faster.
(Constant stirring is not necessary.)
▯ Turning
Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts or whole
cauliflower halfway through the cook time. This will
help to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.
▯ Placing food
Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus
tips, toward the center of the turntable tray.
▯ Arranging food
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken
pieces or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts
toward the outside of the turntable tray.
▯ Letting food stand
After removing the food from the microwave, cover the
food with foil or a casserole lid and let it stand to finish
cooking. This will help the food finish cooking in the
center and avoids overcooking the outer edges. The
length of stand time depends on the density and
surface area of the food items.
▯ Wrapping foods
Sandwiches and many other food types containing
pre-baked bread should be wrapped in paper towels
or wax paper prior to placing in the microwave to help
prevent the food items from drying out while heating.
Automatic programs
The automatic programs let you prepare food in a fast
and simple way using microwave heating. Select the
program and enter the values prompted on the display;
the automatic program selects the optimum setting for
you.
Auto Defrost
With the Auto Defrost feature you can defrost four
different types of food by entering the weight. The ideal
defrost time will be calculated by the program.
Ovenware for defrosting
Place the food in a microwaveable shallow dish, such as
a glass casserole dish or glass plate, but do not cover.
Stand time
The defrosted food should be left to stand for an
additional 10 to 30 minutes until it reaches an even
temperature. Large pieces of meat require a longer
standing time than smaller pieces. Flat pieces of meat
and items made from ground meat should be separated
from each other before leaving to stand.
After this time, you can continue to prepare the food,
even thought thick pieces of meat may still be frozen in
the middle.

Setting Auto Defrost
The appliance must be turned off.
Example: Set Auto Defrost for Ground Meat.

Tips for defrosting
9 WARNING
HEALTH RISK
Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat or
poultry. Drain off this liquid when turning meat and
poultry, and under no circumstances, use it for other
purposes, or allow it to come into contact with other
foods.
▯ Always enter the weight in lbs when using the defrost
by weight feature (0.1 to 6.0 lbs).
▯ Use the defrost mode for raw food items only.
▯ Defrosting gives best results when food to be thawed
is a minimum of 0° F (taken directly from a freezer). If
the 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 or lower cook
time to prevent cooking the food.
▯ If the frozen food is stored outside the freezer for up to
20 minutes, enter a reduced cook time or weight.
▯ The shape of the package will alter the defrosting time.
Shallow rectangular food packets defrost more quickly
than a deep frozen block of food.
▯ Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated
frozen pieces of food defrost better.
▯ Shield warm areas of food with small pieces of
aluminum foil, if they start to heat up.
Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield food items
like chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails.
Do not allow aluminum foil to touch the oven cavity
when defrosting.

Cooking meat in your microwave
Be sure to place prepared meats on a microwave-safe
roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish. Start cooking the
meat fat side down and if necessary, use narrow strips of
aluminum foil to shield any bone tips or thin meat areas.
After cooking, check the temperature in several places
before letting the meat stand the recommended time.
Please note that the temperatures in the following charts
are temperatures at removal time; the temperature will
rise during the standing period.
Stand time
Cooking poultry in your microwave
Be sure to place poultry on a microwave-safe roasting
rack in a microwave-safe dish. Cover poultry with wax
paper to prevent splattering. Use narrow strips of
aluminum foil to shield any bone tips or thin meat areas,
or areas that start to overcook. After cooking, check the
temperature in several places before letting the meat
stand the recommended time.
Cooking eggs in your microwave
▯ Never cook eggs in the shell and never warm hard-
cooked eggs in the shell; they can explode.
▯ Always pierce yolk on whole eggs to keep them from
bursting.
▯ Cook eggs just until set; they will become tough if
overcooked.
▯ Cooking scrambled eggs is safe.

Cooking vegetables in your microwave
▯ Vegetables should be washed just before cooking.
Rarely is extra water needed. If dense vegetables such
as potatoes or carrots are being cooked, add about
¼ cup of water.
▯ Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans,
etc.) will cook faster than larger vegetables.
▯ 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 cooking.
▯ Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli
with the stem ends 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, sweet
potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their
skin pricked in several locations before cooking to
prevent them from bursting.
▯ For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole
vegetables halfway through the cook time.
▯ Most of the time, the denser the food, the longer the
required standing time. For example, a baked potato
should stand for 5 minutes before serving, while a dish
of peas may be served immediately.
Cooking seafood in your microwave
Be sure to place fish on a microwave-safe roasting rack
in a microwave-safe dish. Be sure to always cook fish
until it flakes easily with a fork. Use a tight cover to steam
fish; a lighter cover of wax paper or paper towel provides
less steaming. And be sure not to overcook fish; check it
for doneness at a minimum cooking time before cooking
longer.
Cleaning and Maintenance
9 WARNING
Be sure the entire appliance has cooled and grease
has solidified before attempting to clean any part of
the appliance.
Cleaning Guide
▯ For best performance and for safety reasons, keep the
