IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
WARNING!  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
I Do not operate the oven without the  
oven rack (turntable) in place. The oven  
rack (turntable) must be unrestricted so  
it can turn.  
I Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—  
meat to at least an INTERNAL  
temperature of 160°F, and poultry to at  
least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F.  
Cooking to these temperatures usually  
protects against foodborne illness.  
I During and after use, do not touch, or  
let clothing or other flammable materials  
contact any interior area of the oven;  
allow sufficient time for cooling first.  
I Keep the oven free from grease buildup.  
I Do not store anything directly on top  
of the oven surface when the oven is  
in operation.  
I Potentially hot surfaces include the  
oven door, floor, walls and oven rack  
(turntable).  
Arcing can occur during both speedcooking and microwave cooking. If you see arcing, press the  
CLEAR/OFF pad and correct the problem.  
ARCING  
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in  
the oven. Arcing is caused by:  
I Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins,  
or gold-rimmed dishes, in the oven.

for the pans provided with the oven).  
I The fan will operate automatically under  
certain conditions (see the Automatic Fan  
section). Take care to prevent the starting  
and spreading of accidental cooking fires  
while the vent fan is in use.  
I Use care when cleaning the vent fan

as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage  
the filters.

oven, turn the vent fan on.  
I Never leave surface units beneath your  
oven unattended at high heat settings.  
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy  
spillovers that may ignite and spread if  
the oven vent fan is operating. To  
minimize automatic fan operation, use  
adequate sized cookware and use high  
heat on surface units only when  
necessary.  
I In the event of a grease fire on the  
surface units below the oven, smother  
a flaming pan on the surface unit by  
covering the pan completely with a lid,  
a cookie sheet or a flat tray.

— Do not use straight-sided containers with  
narrow necks.  
I 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.  
— After heating, allow the container to

“suitable for microwaving.”

microwave cooking will result in

for proper use.  
I “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.  
The glass microwave tray  
should always be in place  
when microwaving.  
I If the dish remains cool and only the  
water in the cup heats, then the dish  
is microwave-safe.  
I Cookware may become hot because  
of heat transferred from the heated  
food. Oven mitts may be needed to  
handle the cookware.  
I 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.  
I Plastic cookware—Plastic cookware

WARNING!  
PACEMAKERS  
All microwave ovens must meet Federal DHHS and FCC requirements. However,  
the operation of some pacemakers may be affected by microwaves. Cognizant of this  
problem, most pacemaker manufacturers have taken steps to minimize the susceptibility  
of their products to external interference, including microwaves. Most new pacemakers  
(1982 and later) are now protected from microwave interference. However, prior to  
using your microwave oven it is recommended that persons with pacemakers consult  
the manufacturer of the device for additional information and/or their physician to  
ensure their pacemaker will not be affected by microwaves.

Baking  
Baking allows you to cook foods the same  
way as a conventional oven, using a heating  
element to raise the temperature of the air  
inside the oven. Any oven temperature from  
250°F to 450°F may be set. A fan gently  
circulates this heated air throughout the  
oven, over and around the food, producing  
golden brown exteriors and rich, moist  
interiors.  
Before you begin, make sure the oven rack  
(turntable) is in place. Use the black metal  
tray at all times when baking.  
Baking  
Caution: When baking, remember that the oven,  
door and dishes will be very hot!  
The oven rack (turntable)  
must always be in place  
when using the oven.  
Because the heated air is kept constantly  
moving, not permitting a layer of cooler air  
to develop around the food, some foods  
cook slightly faster than in regular oven
