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

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

- Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove the third (grounding) prong.

Do not use an adaptor or otherwise defeat the grounding plug.

- Consult a qualiﬁed electrician or service person if you do not understand the

grounding instructions or if you are not sure if the appliance is properly grounded.

- We do not recommend using an extension cord with this appliance. If the power-

supply cord is too short, have a qualiﬁed electrician or serviceman install an outlet

near the appliance. However, if it is necessary to use an extension cord, read and

follow the “Use of Extension Cords” section below.

Use of Extension Cords

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or

tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may

be used if care is exercised in their use. If a long cord or extension cord is used:

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. If

you use an extension cord, the interior light may ﬂicker and the blower may vary

when the microwave oven is on. Cooking times may be longer, too.

USING THE SENSOR COOK BUTTONS

The Sensor Cook buttons consist of frequently used settings allowing you to select them quickly and

conveniently. Use the More (9)/Less (1) buttons to set your temperature preference. If the food is not

thoroughly cooked or reheated when using the auto cook feature, complete the cooking process by

selecting a power level and cooking time.

Do not continuously use the Sensor Cook buttons. The oven must cool for 5 minutes between uses

or the food will overcook.

Sensor cooking utensils & covers

To obtain good cooking results using these functions, follow the directions for selecting the appropriate

containers and covers in the Cookware section on p23.

Always use microwave-safe containers and cover with a lid or plastic wrap. When using plastic wrap, turn

back one corner to allow steam to escape.

Always use the proper lid for the container. If the utensil does not have its own lid, use plastic wrap.

Fill containers at least half full.

Foods that require stirring or rotating should be stirred or turned at the end of the Sensor Cook cycle,

when the time has started to count down on the display.

Do not use the Auto Sensor cooking feature continuously. Wait 5 minutes before selecting another

sensor cooking operation.

To avoid poor results, do not use the Auto Sensor when the room ambient temperature is too high or

too low.

when removing and opening the heated bag from the oven. Let

the oven cool for at least 5 minutes before using it again.

Potatoes 1 to 6 potatoes.

Pierce each potato several times with a fork. Place on the

turntable in a spoke-like fashion. After cooking, let the potatoes

stand for 3-5 minutes. Let the oven cool for at least 5 minutes

before using it again.

Beverage 8 oz.

Use a measuring cup or mug and do not cover. Place the

beverage in the oven. After heating, stir well. Let the oven cool

for at least 5 minutes before using it again.

The correct food temperature varies from person to person. Use the More (9)/Less (1) buttons to select

your personal temperature preference.

USING THE AUTO DEFROST BUTTON

The defrost choices are preset in the oven. The defrost cycle provides you with the best defrosting method

for frozen foods, because the oven automatically sets the defrosting times according to the entered weight.

For added convenience, the auto defrost function beeps to remind you to check or turn over the food during

the defrost cycle.

Press the Auto Defrost button once and select the food weight. The available weight ranges from 0.1 to 6.0

lbs.

1. Press the Auto Defrost button.

2. Use the number buttons to enter the weight or press the Auto Defrost button to select weight.

3. Unit automatic on.

After the start, the display counts down the defrosting time. The oven will beep twice during the defrost

cycle. At this time, open the door and turn the food as needed. Remove any thawed portions, then

return the frozen portions to the oven and press the START button to resume the defrost cycle.

The defrost cycle continues while the oven is beeping and only stops when the door is opened.

18_ using your microwave oven

Defrosting tips

When using auto defrost, the entered weight is the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds (the weight

of the food minus the container).

Use the auto defrost cycle for raw food only. The auto defrost cycle gives best results when the 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 actually 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 thick block.

Separate the 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 aluminum foil to shield foods such as chicken wings, leg tips, and ﬁsh tails, but

the foil must not touch the sides of the oven as foil causes arcing, which can damage the oven lining.

Auto defrosting table

Follow the instructions below when defrosting different types of food.

FOOD AMOUNT PROCEDURE

Roast Beef,

Pork

2.5-6.0 lbs.

Start with the food placed fat side down. After each stage, turn

the food over and shield any warm portions with narrow strips of

aluminum foil. Let stand, covered for 10-20 minutes.

Steaks, Chops,

Fish

0.5-3.0 lbs.

After each stage, rearrange the food. If there are any warm or

thawed portions of food, shield them with narrow, ﬂat pieces

of aluminum foil. Remove any pieces of food that are nearly

defrosted. Let stand, covered for 5-10 minutes.

Ground Meat 0.5-3.0 lbs.

After each stage, remove any pieces of food that are nearly

defrosted. Let stand, covered with foil for 5-10 minutes.

Whole Chicken 2.5-6.0 lbs.

Remove giblets before freezing poultry. Start defrosting with the

breast side down. After the ﬁrst stage, turn the chicken over

and shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum

foil. After the second stage, again shield any warm portions with

narrow strips of aluminum foil. Let stand, covered for 30-60

minutes in the refrigerator.

Chicken Pieces 0.5-3.0 lbs.

After each stage, rearrange or remove any pieces of food that

are nearly defrosted. Let stand for 10-20 minutes.

Bread 0.1-2.0 lbs.

Arrange the rolls in a circle on kitchen paper in the middle of the

turntable

Turn over halfway through the defrosting time.

Check the food when you hear the oven signal. After the ﬁnal stage, small sections may still be icy; let

them stand to continue the thawing process. Do not defrost until all ice crystals have thawed. Shielding

roasts and pieces of steak using small pieces of foil prevents the edges from being cooked before the

center of the food has defrosted. Use narrow, ﬂat, smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover edges and

thinner sections of the food.

USING THE SENSOR REHEAT BUTTON

Heating leftovers and precooked foods is easy with your new microwave. By actually sensing the humidity

that escapes as the food is heated, the oven’s heating time is automatically adjusted depending on the type

and amount of precooked food.

All food must already be precooked. Plates of food and casseroles should be stored at refrigerator

temperature.

Press the Sensor Reheat button to begin reheating your precooked food. The display will show REHEAT

and the oven will start automatically. Use the More (9)/Less (1) buttons to adjust the heating time. If you

want to check the current time appear in VFD while reheating, press the Clock button.
