WARNING
• To avoid risk of electrical shock or death, this oven must
be grounded.
• To avoid risk of electrical shock or death, do not alter the
plug.
WARNING
Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be
overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing
to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. 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 A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS
INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of
injury to persons:
1. DO NOT overheat the liquid.
2. Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
3. DO NOT use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
4. After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven for a short time before removing the
container.
5. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other
utensil into the container.
Grounding 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.

AUTO DEFROST
Your microwave oven is preset with three defrost
sequences. Using AUTO DEFROST is the best way to
defrost frozen foods. The Auto Defrost Table provides
some basic guidelines for using the three defrost
sequences.
Example: To defrost 1.2 lbs. of ground beef.
1. Touch Auto Defrost pad once.
2. Enter the weight.
3. Touch Enter/Start pad.
4. The oven will beep during the defrost
cycle. At this time, open the door
and turn, separate, or rearrange the
food as needed.
5. Close the door and touch Enter/Start
pad to resume defrost cycle.
6. When the defrost time is over, you will
hear four beeps and End will display.
DEFROSTING 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 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 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.
• You can use small pieces of aluminum 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.
• Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to become warm.
• For best results, a preset standing time is included in the defrosting time.

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. The times in this book are
based on the normal storage temperature of the food.
• 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 is attracted 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.
FISH AND SHELLFISH
Cooking Fish and Shellfish: General Directions
• Prepare the fish for cooking.
- Completely defrost the fish or shellfish.
- Arrange unevenly shaped pieces with thicker parts
toward the outside of the dish. Arrange shellfish in a
single layer for even cooking.
- The type of cover you use depends on how you cook.
Poached fish needs a microwavable lid or vented
plastic wrap.
- Baked fish, coated fish, or fish in sauce needs to be
covered lightly with waxed paper to keep the coating
crisp and sauce from getting watery.
- Always set the shortest cooking time. Fish is done
when it turns opaque and the thickest part begins to
flake. Shellfish is done when the shell turns from pink
to red and the flesh is opaque and firm.
• The Fish and Shellfish Cooking Table below provides
specific directions with Power Level and Cooking
Time settings for most types of fish and shellfish.
FISH AND SHELLFISH COOKING TABLE
Arrange fish in a single
layer with thickest
portion toward outside
edge of 1½ quart

MEAT
Cooking Meat: General Directions
• Prepare the meat for cooking.
- Defrost completely.
- Trim off excess fat to avoid spattering.
- Place the meat, fat side down, on a microwavable
rack in a microwavable dish.
- Use oven cooking bag for less tender cuts of meat.
- Arrange the meat so that thicker portions are toward
the outside of the dish.
- Cover the meat with waxed paper to prevent
spattering.
• Tend the meat as it cooks.
- Drain juices as they accumulate to reduce spattering
and keep from overcooking the bottom of the meat.
- Shield thin or bony portions with strips of foil to
prevent overcooking.
• Let the meat stand covered with foil 10-15 minutes
after you remove it from the oven. The internal
temperature of the meat may rise from 5-10°F during
standing time.
The Meat Cooking Table on the next page provides
detailed directions, Power Level, and Cooking Time
settings for most cuts of meat.
APPETIZERS/SAUCES/SOUPS
Cooking Appetizers: Tips and Techniques
Recommended
• Crisp crackers, such as melba toast, shredded wheat,
and crisp rye crackers are best for microwave use.
Wait until party time to add the spreads. Place a
paper towel under the crackers while they cook in the
microwave oven to absorb extra moisture.
• Arrange individual appetizers in a circle for even
cooking.
• Stir dips to distribute heat and shorten cooking time.
Cooking Sauces: Tips and Techniques
• Use a microwavable casserole or glass measuring
cup that is at least 2 or 3 times the volume of the
sauce.
• Sauces made with cornstarch thicken more rapidly
than those made with flour.
• Cook sauces made with cornstarch or flour
uncovered so you may stir them 2 or 3 times during
cooking for a smooth consistency.
• To adapt a conventional sauce or gravy recipe, reduce
the amount of liquid slightly.
Cooking Soups: Tips and Techniques
• Cook soups in a microwavable dish which holds
double the volume of the recipe ingredients to
prevent boil-over, especially if you use cream or milk
in the soup.
• Generally, cover microwaved soups with VENTED
plastic wrap or a microwavable lid.
• Avoid overcooking by using the minimum suggested
time. Add more time, if necessary, only after checking
the food.
• Stirring occasionally will help blend flavors, distribute
heat evenly, and may even shorten the cooking time.
• When converting a conventional soup recipe to cook
in the microwave, reduce the liquid, salt, and strong
seasonings.
Not Recommended
• Appetizers with a crisp coating or puff pastry are best
done in a conventional oven with dry heat.
• Breaded products can be warmed in the microwave
oven but will not come out crisp.
NOTE:
• Keep the foil at least 1 inch from the oven walls, and
do not cover more than one-third of the meat with
foil at any one time.

- Arrange poultry pieces with thicker pieces at the
outside edge of the baking dish. When cooking legs,
arrange them like the spokes of a wheel.
- Cover the baking dish with waxed paper to reduce
spattering.
- Use a browning agent or cook with a sauce to give a
browned appearance.
• Watch the poultry as it cooks.
- Drain and discard juices as they accumulate.
- Shield thin or bony pieces with small strips of

PASTA AND RICE
Microwave cooking and conventional cooking of pasta,
rice, and cereal require about the same amount of
time, but the microwave is a more convenient method
because you can cook and serve in the same dish.
There is no stirring needed and leftover pasta tastes
just like fresh cooked when reheated in the microwave
oven.
Cooking Pasta and Rice: Tips and Techniques
• If you are planning to use rice or pasta in a casserole,
undercook it so it is still firm.
• Allow for standing time with rice, but not for pasta.
• The Pasta and Rice Cooking Tables below provide
specific directions, with Power Level and cooking time
settings for most common types of pasta and rice.
