SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

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

• Plug into a grounded, 3 pronged outlet. Do not remove the third (grounding)

prong. Do not use an adaptor or otherwise thwart the safety function of the

grounding plug.

• Consult a qualied 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 qualied 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 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

an 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.

d. After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a

short time before removing the container.

e. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the

container.

19. Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not inserted into the

Food Amount Procedure

Roast Beef,

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, at 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

rst stage, turn the chicken over and shield any

warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum

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.

NOTE

Check the food when you hear the oven signal. After the nal stage, small sections

may still be icy; let them stand to continue the thawing process. The food is not

defrosted 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, at, smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover

edges and thinner sections of the food.
