To request service information or replacement parts,

the service center requires the complete model

number of your microwave oven. The model number

is on the oven back as shown in the illustration below.

Model number label

Electrical Requirements

The oven is designed to operate on a Standard 120

V/60 Hz household outlet. Be sure the circuit is at

least 15 A or 20 A and the microwave oven is the only

appliance on the circuit. It is not designed for 50 Hz

or any circuit other than a 120 V/60 Hz circuit.

No other electrical appliances or lighting circuits

should be on this line. If in doubt, consult a licensed

electrician.

Voltage Warning

The voltage used at the wall receptacle must be the

same as specified on the oven name plate located

on the back or on the side of the control panel of the

oven. 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. If the

microwave oven does not perform normally in spite of

proper voltage, remove and reinsert the plug.

Placement of the Oven

The 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 airflow around the oven is important. Allow at

least 4 inches of space at the top, sides, and back of

the oven for proper ventilation.

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. If this happens, a sensitive thermal

safety device automatically turns the oven off. The

oven will be inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently.

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 electric current. This appliance 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.

WARNING

•

Improper use of grounding can result in a

risk of electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the

grounding instructions are not completely understood,

or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is

properly grounded.

1. Use of an extension cord is not recommended. If

the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified

electrician or service person install an outlet near

the appliance.

2. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use

only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade

grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will

accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating

of the extension cord must be equal to or greater

than the electrical rating of the appliance.

NOTE

•

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce

the risks resulting from 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 must 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 (3) the longer cord should not be

draped over a counter or table where children

could pull on it, or located where it could

present a trip hazard.

See the separate Installation Instructions for

directions on placing the cord properly.

Ensure proper ground

exists before use

Keep the electrical power cord dry and do not pinch

or crush it in any way.

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS

Microwave Cookware Guide

Use Do Not Use

OVENPROOF GLASS

(treated for high intensity heat):

utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake

plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles

and bowls without metallic trim.

CHINA:

bowls, cups, serving plates, and platters

without metallic rim.

PLASTIC:

Plastic wrap (as a cover)- lay the plastic

wrap loosely over the dish and press it to

the sides.

Vent plastic wrap by turning back one edge

slightly to allow excess steam to escape.

The dish should be deep enough so that

the plastic wrap will not touch the food. As

the food heats it may melt the plastic wrap

wherever the wrap touches the food.

Use plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer

containers and plastic bags only for short

cooking times. Use these with care

because the plastic may soften from

the heat of the food.

PAPER:

Paper towels, waxed paper, paper

napkins, and paper plates with no metallic

trim or design. Look for the manufacturer's

label for use in the microwave oven.

Note:

Do not use recycled paper products in the

microwave oven. They sometimes contain

impurities that cause arcing and sparking.

METAL CONTAINERS:

Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces

uneven cooking. Also avoid metal skewers, thermometers, or

foil trays. Metal containers can cause arcing, which can damage

the microwave oven.

METAL DECORATION:

Metal-rimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes,

etc. The metal rim interferes with normal cooking and may

damage the oven.

ALUMINUM FOIL:

Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder

cooking and may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of

foil to shield poultry legs and wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at

least 1 inch from the side walls and door of the oven.

WOOD:

Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack

when you use them in the microwave oven. Baskets react in the

same way.

TIGHTLY COVERED COOKWARE:

Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered

containers. Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food

items before cooking. Tightly closed pouches could explode.

BROWN PAPER:

Avoid using brown paper bags.

They absorb too much heat and could burn.

FLAWED OR CHIPPED COOKWARE:

Any container that is cracked, flawed, or chipped may break in

the oven.

METAL TWIST TIES:

Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags.

They become hot and could cause a fire.

13

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS

Microwave-Safe Cookware

Never use metal or metal-rimmed cookware

in the microwave oven.

Microwaves cannot penetrate metal. They will bounce

off any metal object in the oven and cause arcing, an

alarming phenomenon that resembles lightning. Most

heat resistant non-metallic cookware is safe for use

in your oven. However, some may contain materials

that render it unsuitable as microwave cookware. If

you have any doubts about a particular container,

there's a simple way to find out if it can be used in the

microwave.

Testing Cookware before Use

Place the container in question next to a glass bowl

filled with water inside the oven. Microwave at HIGH

power for 1 minute. If the water heats up but the

container remains cool to the touch, the container is

microwave-safe.

However, if the water does not change temperature

but the container becomes warm, microwaves are

being absorbed by the container and it is not safe

for use in the microwave oven. See the following list

for tips on using common items when microwave

cooking.

Tableware

Many dishes are microwave-safe. If in doubt consult

the manufacturer's literature or perform the microwave

test. Do not put plates with painted decoration in

the oven, as the paint may contain metal and cause

arcing.

Glassware

Glassware that is heat-resistant is microwave-safe.

This includes all brands of oven tempered glass

cookware.

Do not use delicate glassware, such as tumblers or

wine glasses, as these might shatter when heated.

Plastic Storage Containers

Use these only for quick reheating of food. Do not use

them when cooking food for long periods or at high

power levels, as the hot food will eventually warp or

melt the plastic.

Paper

Paper plates and containers are convenient and

safe to use in the microwave oven, provided that the

cooking time is short and foods to be cooked are low

in fat and moisture. Paper towels are also very useful

for wrapping foods and for lining baking trays in which

greasy foods such as bacon are cooked. In general,

avoid colored paper products as the color may run.

Some recycled paper products may contain impurities

which could cause arcing or fires when used in the

microwave.

Plastic Cooking Bags

Provided they are made specially for cooking, cooking

bags are microwave safe. Remember to make a

slit in the bag so that steam can escape. Never use

ordinary plastic bags for cooking in the microwave

oven, as they will melt and rupture.

Plastic Microwave Cookware

A variety of shapes and sizes of microwave cookware

are available. You may be able to use items you

already have on hand rather than investing in new

kitchen equipment.

Pottery, Stoneware, and Ceramic

Many containers made of these materials are

microwave-safe, but test them before use.

CAUTION

•

Some items with high lead or iron content are

not suitable for microwave cooking.

•

Cookware should be checked to ensure that it

is suitable for use in the microwave.

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS

Microwave Cooking Tips

Keeping an Eye on Things

Always watch your food while it cooks. The light inside

the microwave oven turns on automatically when

the oven is cooking so you can monitor the cooking

process. Directions given in recipes to elevate, stir,

and the like should be thought of as the minimum

steps recommended. If the food seems to be cooking

unevenly, simply make the necessary adjustments

you think appropriate to correct the problem.

Factors Affecting Microwave Cooking Times

Many factors affect cooking times. The temperature

of ingredients used in a recipe makes a big difference

in cooking times. For example, a cake made with

ice-cold butter, milk, and eggs will take considerably

longer to bake than one made with ingredients that

are at room temperature. Some recipes, particularly

those for bread, cake, and custards, recommend that

food be removed from the oven when they are slightly

undercooked.

This is not a mistake. When allowed to stand, usually

covered, these foods will continue to cook outside of

the oven as the heat trapped within the outer portions

of the food gradually travels inward. If the food is left

in the oven until it is cooked all the way through, the

outer portions will become overcooked or even burnt.

Practice will improve your ability to estimate both

cooking and standing times for various foods.

Density of Food

Light, porous food such as cakes and breads cook

more quickly than heavy, dense foods such as

roasts and casseroles. You must take care when

microwaving porous food so that the outer edges do

not become dry and brittle.

Height of Food

The upper portion of tall foods, particularly roasts, will

cook more quickly than the lower portion.

Therefore, it is wise to turn tall food several times

during cooking.

Moisture Content of Food

Because the heat generated from microwaves

causes moisture to evaporate, relatively dry food

such as roasts and some vegetables should either

be sprinkled with water prior to cooking or covered to

retain moisture.

Bone and Fat Content of Food

Bones conduct heat and fat cooks more quickly than

meat. Care must be taken when cooking bony or fatty

cuts of meat in order to prevent unevenly cooked or

overcooked meat.

Quantity of Food

The number of microwaves in your oven remains

constant regardless of how much food is being

cooked. Therefore, the more food you place in

the oven, the longer the required cooking time.

Remember to decrease cooking times by at least one

third when halving a recipe.

Shape of Food

Microwaves penetrate only about 3/4 of an inch (2

cm) into food. The interior portion of thick foods is

cooked as the heat generated on the outside travels

inward. Only the outer edge of food is cooked by

microwave energy; the rest is cooked by conduction.

The worst possible shape for a food that is to be

microwaved is a thick square.

The corners will burn long before the center is even

warm. Round thin foods and ring-shaped foods cook

most successfully in the microwave.

Covering

A cover traps heat and steam which causes food to

cook more quickly. Use a lid or microwave cling film

with a corner folded back to prevent splitting.

Covering with Parchment Paper

Parchment paper (not waxed paper) is microwave

safe. Because it makes a looser cover than a lid or

clingfilm, greaseproof paper allows the food to dry out

slightly.

Stirring

Stirring is one of the most important of all microwaving

techniques. In conventional cooking, food is stirred for

the purpose of blending. Microwaved food, however,

is stirred in order to spread and redistribute heat.

Always stir from the outside towards the centre as the

outside of the food heats first.

Placing Thicker Portions Facing Outward

Place thicker cuts or portions of meat, poultry, and

fish toward the outer edge of the baking dish so they

absorb the most microwave energy and the food

cooks more evenly.

15

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS

Shielding

Strips of aluminium foil (which block microwaves)

can be placed over the corners or edges of square

and rectangular foods to prevent those portions from

overcooking. Never use too much foil and make sure

the foil is secured to the dish or it may cause arcing in

the oven especially if the foil passes too closely to the

walls of the oven during rotation.

Elevating

Thick or dense foods can be elevated so that

microwaves can be absorbed by the underside and

center of the foods.

Piercing

Foods enclosed in a shell, skin or membrane are

likely to burst in the oven unless they are pierced

prior to cooking. Such foods include yolks and whites

of eggs, clams, oysters, potatoes, and other whole

vegetables and fruits.

Testing if Cooked

Microwaves cook food quickly, so test food for

doneness frequently. Some foods are left in the

microwave until completely cooked, but most foods,

including meats and poultry, should be removed from

the oven while still slightly undercooked and allowed

to finish cooking during standing time. The internal

temperature of foods will rise between 5 °F (3 °C) and

15 °F (8 °C) during standing time.

Standing Time

Foods are often allowed to stand for 3 to 10 minutes

after being removed from the oven. Usually the foods

are covered during standing time to retain heat unless

they are supposed to be dry in texture. Standing

allows foods to finish cooking and also helps flavors

blend and develop.

Precautions

•

Place the front surface of the door three inches or

more from the countertop edge to avoid accidental

tipping of the microwave oven during normal use.

•

To program the oven, make sure you touch the

center of each pad firmly since the areas between

the pads will not activate the oven. A tone will

sound each time a pad is touched correctly. Don’t

touch several pads at once.

•

Do not strike the control panel with silverware,

utensils, etc. Breakage may occur.

•

Always use caution when taking cookware out

of the oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the

cooked food and may be hot. See Cookware Guide

earlier in this section for more information.

•

Do not rinse containers by placing them in water

immediately after cooking. This may cause

breakage. Also, always allow the turntable to cool

before removing it from the oven.

•

Never operate the oven when it is empty. Food

or water should always be in the oven during

operation to absorb the microwave energy.

•

Do not use the oven to dry newspapers or clothes.

They may catch fire.

•

Use thermometers that have been approved for

microwave oven cooking.

•

The turntable must always be in place when you

operate the oven.

•

Do not use your microwave oven to cook eggs in

the shell. Pressure can build up inside the shell,

causing it to burst.

•

There are several precautions to follow when

microwaving popcorn:

−

Do not pop popcorn, except in a microwave-safe

container or commercial packages designed for

microwave ovens.

−

Never try to pop popcorn in a paper bag that is

not microwave-approved.

−

OPERATION

Sensor Operation

Instructions

This microwave oven has sensor cooking features

for convenient microwave cooking. It guides you,

step by step, to reheat or cook popular food items

automatically using preprogrammed settings.

Categories :

1. Sensor Cook

2. Sensor Reheat

3. Popcorn

•

The Sensor system works by detecting built up

steam.

•

Make sure the door remains closed.

•

Opening the door or touching the STOP/Clear key

before the steam is detected will stop the process

and the oven.

•

Before using sensor cooking, make sure the

exterior of the reheating container and the interior

of the oven are dry, to assure the best results.

Sensor Cooking Guide

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure

good sensor cooking results.

•

Always use microwavable containers and cover

them with lids or vented plastic wrap.

•

Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can

prevent steam from escaping and cause food to

overcook.

•

Match the amount to the size of the container.

Fill containers at least half full for best results.

•

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.
