WARNING!
ARCING
If you see arcing, press the START/STOP pad and correct the problem.
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. ■Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins or gold-
rimmed dishes, in the microwave.
Arcing is caused by:
■Recycled paper towels containing small metal
pieces being used in the microwave.
■Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
■Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like
antennas).
OpeagIructions
FOODS
■Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven
unless in a special microwave popcorn accessory
or unless you use popcorn labeled for use in
microwave ovens.
■Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even with
the lid off. Make sure all infant food is thoroughly
cooked. Stir food to distribute the heat evenly.
Be careful to prevent scalding when warming
formula. The container may feel cooler than the
formula really is. Always test the formula before
feeding the baby.
■Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers—for example, closed jars—will
explode and should not be heated in this
microwave oven. Such use of the microwave
oven could result in injury.
■Don’t defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked
bottles (especially carbonated beverages). Even if
the container is opened, pressure can build up.
This can cause the container to burst, possibly
resulting in injury.
■Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure
will build up inside egg yolk and will cause it to
burst, possibly resulting in injury.
T
rubleshotingT
■Spontaneous boiling—Under certain special
circumstances, liquids may start to boil during or
shortly after removal from the microwave oven.
To prevent burns from splashing liquid, we
recommend the following: before removing the
container from the oven, allow the container to
stand in the oven for 30 to 40 seconds after the
oven has shut off. Do not boil liquids in narrow-
necked containers such as soft drink bottles, wine
flasks, and especially narrow-necked coffee cups.
Even if the container is opened, excessive steam
can build up and cause it to burst or overflow.
■Operating the microwave with no food inside for
more than a minute or two may cause damage to
the oven and could start a fire. It increases the
heat around the magnetron and can shorten the
life of the oven.
■Foods with unbroken outer “skin” such as
potatoes, hot dogs, sausages, tomatoes, apples,
chicken livers and other giblets and egg yolks
should be pierced to allow steam to escape
during cooking.
ips
■SUPERHEATED WATER
■Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful
when opening any containers of hot food,
including popcorn bags, cooking pouches and
boxes. To prevent possible injury, direct steam
away from hands and face.
Microwaved water and other liquids do not always
bubble when they reach the boiling point. They can
actually get superheated and not bubble at all.
CnsmeSuport
Superheated liquid will bubble up out of the cup when
it is moved or when something like a spoon or tea bag
is put into it.
■Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate
and catch fire, causing damage to your oven.
To prevent this from happening and causing injury,
do not heat any liquid for more than 2 minutes per
cup. After heating, let the cup stand in the microwave
for 30 seconds before moving it or putting anything
into it.
■Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at
least an INTERNAL temperature of 160° F
(70° C) and poultry to at least an INTERNAL
temperature of 180° F (80° C). Cooking to these
temperatures usually protects against foodborne
illness.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE
Make sure all cookware used in your microwave
oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass
casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard
cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not
have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen
can be used. Some cookware is labeled “suitable
for microwaving.”
■Cookware may become hot because of heat
transferred from the heated food. Pot holders
may be needed to handle the cookware.
SafeyIructions
■“Boilable” cooking pouches and tightly closed
plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as
directed by package. If they are not, plastic could
burst during or immediately after cooking,
possibly resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage
containers should be at least partially uncovered
because they form a tight seal. When cooking
with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap,
remove covering carefully and direct steam away
from hands and face.
■If you are not sure if a dish is microwave-safe,
use this test: Place in the oven both the dish
you are testing and a glass measuring cup filled
with 1 cup (250 ml) of water—set the measuring
cup either in or next to the dish. Microwave
30–45 seconds at high. If the dish heats, it should
not be used for microwaving.
■Use foil only as directed in this guide. TV dinners
may be microwaved in foil trays less than ¾”
(1.9 cm) high; remove the top foil cover and
return the tray to the box. When using foil in the
microwave oven, keep the foil at least 1” (2.5 cm)
away from the sides of the oven.
If the dish remains cool and only the water in
the cup heats, then the dish is microwave-safe.
■If you use a meat thermometer while cooking,
make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.
■Do not use recycled paper products. Recycled
paper towels, napkins and waxed paper can
contain metal flecks which may cause arcing
or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or
nylon filaments should be avoided, as they may
also ignite.
■Plastic cookware—Plastic cookware designed for
microwave cooking is very useful, but should be
used carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic may
not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as
are glass or ceramic materials and may soften or
char if subjected to short periods of overcooking.
In longer exposures to overcooking, the food and
cookware could ignite.
OpeagIructions
■Some styrofoam trays (like those that meat is
packaged on) have a thin strip of metal
embedded in the bottom. When microwaved,
the metal can burn the floor of the oven or
ignite a paper towel.
ips
Follow these guidelines:
Use microwave-safe plastics only and use
1
them in strict compliance with the cookware
■Do not use the microwave to dry newspapers.
manufacturer’s recommendations.
■
Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in
microwave ovens. Check the package for
proper use.
Do not microwave empty containers.
2
Do not permit children to use plastic
cookware without complete supervision.

■Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap
can be used to cover dishes in order to retain
moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to
vent plastic wrap so steam can escape.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
—Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
WARNING
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.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to
have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong
wall outlet.
This appliance is equipped with a power cord
having a grounding wire with a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from the power cord.
We do not recommend using an extension cord
with this appliance. If the power cord is too short,
have a qualified electrician or service technician
install an outlet near the appliance. (See
EXTENSION CORDS section.)
Consult a qualified electrician or service technician
if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
OpeagIructions
For best operation, plug this appliance into its own
electrical outlet to prevent flickering of lights,
blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit breaker.
ADAPTER PLUGS
Adapter Plugs are not permitted in Canada.

About changing the power level.
SafeyIructions
Rest periods (when the microwave energy
cycles off) give time for the food to
“equalize” or transfer heat to the inside
of the food. An example of this is shown
with power level 30—the defrost cycle.
If microwave energy did not cycle off,
the outside of the food would cook before
the inside was defrosted.
1 Enter cooking time.
Press POWER LEVEL repeatedly to select
2
power level 1 to 9.
3 Press START/STOP.
Variable power levels add flexibility to
microwave cooking. The power levels on
the microwave oven can be compared to
the surface units on a range. Each power
level gives you microwave energy a certain
percent of the time. Power level 70 is
microwave energy 70% of the time. Power
level 30 is energy 30% of the time. Most
cooking will be done on 100% power. It will
cook faster but food may need more
frequent stirring, rotating or turning over. A
lower setting will cook more evenly and
need less stirring or rotating of the food.
Some foods may have better flavor, texture
or appearance if one
Here are some examples of uses for various
power levels:
HI: Fish, bacon, vegetables, boiling liquids.
Med-High 70: Gentle cooking of meat and
poultry; baking casseroles and reheating.
OpeagIructions
Medium 50: Slow cooking and tenderizing

Defrosting Tips
SafeyIructions
■
Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be
defrosted in the package. Closed packages
should be slit, pierced or vented AFTER
food has partially defrosted. Plastic storage
containers should be partially uncovered.
After the total time has elapsed, 4 beeps
sound and “End” appears in the display.
Touch the RESET pad or open the oven
door to clear “End” before starting another
cooking function.
■Family-size, prepackaged frozen dinners
can be defrosted and microwaved. If the
food is in a foil container, transfer it to a
microwave-safe dish.
A dull thumping noise may be heard
during defrosting. This is normal when
oven is not operating at 100% power.
■Foods that spoil easily should not be
allowed to sit out for more than one hour
after defrosting. Room temperature
promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.
After setting SPEED DEFROST, the oven can
be programmed to automatically switch to
one or two stage cooking.
■For more even defrosting of larger foods,
such as roasts, use Weight Defrost. Be sure
large meats are completely defrosted
before cooking.
For SPEED DEFROST and one stage

Microwave terms.
Term
Definition
Arcing
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:
■ metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
■ foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).
■ metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes.
■ recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.
SafeyIructions
Covering
Shielding
Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce cooking time. Venting plastic wrap or
covering with wax paper allows excess steam to escape.
In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to prevent over-browning. When microwaving,
you use small strips of foil to shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs on poultry, which would
cook before larger parts.
Standing Time When you cook with regular ovens, foods such as roasts or cakes are allowed to stand to finish cooking or
to set. Standing time is especially important in microwave cooking. Note that a microwaved cake is not
placed on a cooling rack.
Venting
After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner so excess
steam can escape.

Care and cleaning of the microwave oven.
SafeyIructions
Helpful Hints
An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking soda and water keeps the
inside fresh.
Unplug the cord before cleaning any part of this oven.
How to Clean the Inside
Walls, Floor, Inside Window, Metal and Plastic Parts on the Door
Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel; others may require a damp cloth.
Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth. Do not use
abrasive cleaners or sharp utensils on oven walls.
OpeagIructions
To clean the surface of the door and the surface of the oven that come together upon
closing, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or detergents using a sponge or soft cloth.
Rinse with a damp cloth and dry.
Never use a commercial oven cleaner on any part of your microwave.
Removable Turntable and Turntable Support
To prevent breakage, do not place the turntable into water just after cooking. Wash it
carefully in warm, sudsy water or in the dishwasher. The turntable and support can be
broken if dropped. Remember, do not operate the oven without the turntable and
support in place.
T
rubleshotingT
How to Clean the Outside
Do not use cleaners containing ammonia or alcohol on the microwave oven. Ammonia or
alcohol can damage the appearance of the microwave.
Case
Clean the outside of the microwave with a sudsy cloth. Rinse with a damp cloth and then
dry. Wipe the window clean with a damp cloth.
ips
Control Panel and Door
Wipe with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays, large amounts of
soap and water, abrasives or sharp objects on the panel—they can damage it. Some paper
towels can also scratch the control panel.
Door Surface
It is important to keep the area clean where the door seals against the microwave. Use only
mild, non-abrasive detergents applied with a clean sponge or soft cloth. Rinse well.
CnsmeSuport
Power Cord
If the cord becomes soiled, unplug and wash with a damp cloth. For stubborn spots, sudsy
water may be used, but be certain to rinse with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly before
plugging cord into outlet.
