IMPORTANT SAFETY 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

instructionsare not completely understood, or ifdoubt

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.

Installation and Operation

CIRCUITS

For safety purposes this oven must

be plugged into a 15A (CANADA)or

20A (USA) circuit. No other electrical

appliances or lighting circuits should

be on this line. If in doubt, consult a

licensed electrician.

VO LTAGE

The voltage used at the wall

receptacle must be the same as

specified on the oven name plate

located inside oven door. Use of a

higher voltage is dangerous and

may result in a fire or other type of

accident causing oven damage. Low

voltage will cause slow cooking. In

case your microwave oven does not

perform normally in spite of proper

voltage, remove and reinsert the plug.

PLACEMENT OF THE OVEN

Your microwave oven can be placed

easily in your kitchen, family room, or

anywhere else in your home. Place

the oven on a flat surface such as

a kitchen countertop or a specially

designed microwave oven cart. Do

not place oven above a gas or electric

range. Free air flow around the oven

is important.

UNPACKING OVEN

• Inspect oven for damage such as

dents in door or inside oven cavity.

• Report any dents or breakage to

source of purchase immediately. Do

not attempt to use oven if damaged.

DO NOT BLOCK

AIR VENTS

All air vents should be kept clear

during cooking. If air vents are

covered during oven operation the

oven may overheat. In this case,

a sensitive thermal safety device

automatically turns the oven off.The

oven will be inoperable until it has

cooled sufficiently.

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.

,, 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 isattracted 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.

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 heat.

The oven will beep and either turn off

or the display will show the remaining

heating time.

For best results for 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.

See sensor tables on page 14.

4. Do not open the door or touch

the STOP/CLEAR pad during the

sensing time. When sensing time

is over, the oven beeps once and

the remaining cooking time will

appear in the display window or the

oven will turn off. 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.

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.

ADDING OR

SUBTRACTING

COOK TIM E

By using the MORE(9) or LESS(l)

pad all of the sensor cook and time

cook settings can be adjusted to cook

food for a longer or shorter time.

DEFROST 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 O°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.

,, Shield areas of food with small

pieces of foil if they start to become

warm.

,,You can use small pieces of alu-

minum foil to shield foods like

chicken wings, leg tips, and fish

tails, but the foil must not touch the

side of the oven. Foil causes arcing,

which can damage the oven lining.

,, Let food stand covered for 15 to 30

minutes.

,, Let Roasts or Whole poultry stand

for 30 to 60 minutes.

Guide for Cooking Seafood in Your Microwave

• Cook fish until itflakes easily with a fork.

• Place fish on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish.

_,Use a tight cover to steam fish. A lighter cover of wax paper or paper towel provides less steaming.

_,Do not overcook fish; check itat minimum cooking time.

Steaks Cooking Time: 7-11 min. / lb. Arrange steaks on roasting rack with meaty portions towards the

outside of rack. Cover with wax paper. Turn over and rearrange when

Up to 1.5 Ibs. Power Level: Medium-High(7). cooking time is half up. Cook until fish flakes easily with a fork. Let

stand 3-5 minutes.

Fillets Cooking Time: 4-8 min. / Ib Arrange fillets in a baking dish, turning any thin pieces under. Cover

with wax paper. If over 1/2inch thick, turn over and rearrange when

Up to 1.5 Ibs. Power Level:Medium-High(7). cooking time is half up. Cook until fish flakes easily with a fork. Let

stand 2-3 minutes.

Guide for 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 whole eggs to keep them from bursting.

,, Cook eggs just until set; they become tough if overcooked.

Guide for Cooking Vegetables in Your Microwave

,,Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Often, no extra water is needed, if dense vegetables such as

potatoes, carrots and green beans are being cooked, add about 1Acup 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 ifturned over after half the cooking time has passed.

,, 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, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skin pricked in several spots

before cooking to prevent them from bursting.

_,For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway through the cooking time.

_,Generally, the denser the food, the longer the standing time. (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.
