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. If you use an extension cord, the interior light may icker and the
speed of the blower may vary when the microwave oven is on. Cooking times
may be longer, too.
CAUTION
1. Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should not be allowed to
accumulate on hood of lter.

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 you want to thaw is no colder than 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 the food from cooking.
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 sh tails, but the foil must not touch the sides of the oven as foil
causes arcing, which can damage the oven lining.
Category Amount Directions
Casserole 1 to 4
servings
Cover the plate with a lid or vented plastic wrap.
If the food is not as hot as you would like after
using the reheat function, continue heating using
additional time and power. Stir the food once
before serving.
Contents:
3-4 oz. meat, poultry or sh (up to 6 oz. with bone)
½ cup starch (potatoes, pasta, rice, etc.)
½ cup vegetables (about 3-4 oz.)
Pasta
NOTE
The ‘right’ temperature of the food varies from person to person. Allow food to
stand 1 to 5 minutes before serving.
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 weight you enter. 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.
3. Press the ENTER/START button.
NOTE
After pressing the ENTER/START button, 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 ENTER/START button to resume the defrost
cycle. The defrost cycle continues while the oven is beeping and only stops when
the door is opened.

For food to cook in the microwave oven, the
microwaves must be able to penetrate the
food without being reected 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 +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.

Cooking guide
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 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 affect 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
NOTE
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 off when you open the door to stir your food.
