Safety  
• Do not mount over a sink.  
• Do not store anything directly on top of the appliance when it is in  
operation.  
• If materials inside oven should ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn  
the oven off and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the  
fuse or circuit breaker panel. If the door is opened, the fire may  
spread.  
• This over-the-range oven was designed for use over ranges no wider  
than 76.2 cm(30 inches). It may be installed over both gas and  
electric cooking equipment.  
Important Safety Instructions, continued  
• Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use near water – for  
example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming  
pool, etc.  
• Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food particles or spattered oils  
stuck to the oven walls or floor can cause paint damage and reduce  
the efficiency of the oven.  
• Do not immerse cord or plug in water.  
• Keep cord away from heated surfaces.  
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.  
• When cleaning door and oven surfaces, use only mild, nonabrasive  
soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.  
• To reduce the risk of fire in the oven:  
a. Do not overcook food. Watch appliance carefully if paper, plastic,  
or other combustible materials are inside.  
b. Remove wire twist-ties from plastic cooking bags before placing  
bags in oven.  
c. If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn  
the oven off, disconnect the power cord, or shut off the power at  
the fuse or circuit breaker panel.  
d. Do not use the oven compartment for storage purposes. Do not  
leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the oven when  
not in use.  
• Do not try to preheat oven or operate while empty.  
• Do not cook without the glass tray in place on the oven floor. Food will  
not cook properly without the tray.  
• Do not defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked bottles. The  
containers can break.  
• Dishes and containers can become hot. Handle with care.  
• Carefully remove container coverings, directing steam away from  
hands and face.  
• Remove lids from baby food before heating. After heating baby food,  
stir well and test temperature by tasting before serving.  
• Do not operate any other heating or cooking appliance beneath this  
appliance.

GROUNDING  
THE VENT FAN  
IMNSPTORRUTCATNIOTNS  
The fan will operate automatically under certain conditions (see  
page 16).Take care to prevent the starting and spreading of  
accidental cooking fires while the vent fan is in use.  
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.  
• Clean the underside of the microwave often. Do not allow grease to  
build up on the microwave or the fan filters.  
This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a  
grounding wire with a grounding plug.  
• In the event of a grease fire on the surface units below the microwave  
oven, smother a flaming pan on the surface unit by covering the pan  
completely with a lid, a cookie sheet or a flat tray.  
• Use care when cleaning the vent fan filters. Corrosive cleaning  
agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the filters.  
• Do not prepare flaming foods under the microwave when the fan is  
operating.  
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed  
and grounded.  
• Never leave surface units beneath your microwave oven unattended  
at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers  
that may ignite and spread if the microwave vent fan is operating. To  
minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate sized cookware and  
use high heat on surface units only when necessary.  
WARNING  
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of  
electric shock.  
Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if you do not  
understand the grounding instructions or if you are not sure  
if the appliance is properly grounded.  
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the  
power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or  
service technician install an outlet neat the appliance.  
WARNING  
Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the  
power cord under any circumstances.  
NOTE  
Connect the oven only to a 20A or over dedicated circuit.

Microwavable browning dish — Use to brown the exterior of small  
items such as steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions  
provided with your browning dish.  
Styrofoam plates and cups — These can melt and leave an  
unhealthy residue on food.  
Plastic storage and food containers — Containers such as  
margarine tubs can melt in the microwave.  
Microwavable plastic wrap — Use to retain steam. Leave a small  
opening for some steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on  
the food.  
Metal utensils — These can damage your oven. Remove all metal  
before cooking.  
Wax paper — Use as a cover to prevent spattering.  
Paper towels and napkins — Use for short-term heating and  
covering; they absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do  
not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and can  
catch fire.  
Testing Utensils  
If you are not sure whether a dish is microwave-safe or not, you can per-  
form this test:  
Paper plates and cups — Use for short-term heating at low  
temperatures. Do not use recycled paper, which may contain metal  
and can catch fire.  
1
Fill a 1 cup glass measuring cup with water and put it inside your  
oven, next to the dish you want to test.  
Thermometers — Use only those labeled “Microwave Safe” and  
follow all directions. Check the food in several places. Conventional  
thermometers may be used once the food has been removed from  
the oven.  
Limited Use  
Aluminum foil — Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of  
exposed areas. Using too much foil can damage your oven, so be  
careful.  
2
Press the One Minute + button once to heat them for one minute at  
High power.  
Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware — Use these if they are  
labeled “Microwave Safe”. If they are not labeled, test them to make  
sure they can be used safely. Never use dishes with metallic trim.  
The water should be warm and the dish you are testing should be cool. If  
the dish is warm, then it is absorbing microwave energy and is not  
acceptable for use in the microwave.  
Plastic — Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe”. Other plastics can  
melt.  
Straw, wicker, and wood — Use only for short-term heating, as  
they can be flammable.

Cooking Instructions  
Cooking Techniques  
General Tips  
Stirring  
Dense foods, such as potatoes, take longer to heat than lighter  
foods. Foods with a delicate texture should be heated at a low power  
level to avoid becoming tough.  
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute  
heat evenly. Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and  
heats more quickly, so stir from the outside to the center. The oven will  
turn off when you open the door to stir your food.  
Altitude and the type of cookware you are using can affect cooking  
time. When using a new recipe, use the minimum cooking time and  
check the food occasionally to prevent overcooking.  
Arrangement  
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with  
the thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable where they  
receive more microwave energy. To prevent overcooking, place thin or  
delicate parts toward the center of the turntable.  
Foods with a non-porous skin such as potatoes or hot dogs, should  
be pierced to prevent bursting.  
Frying with heating oil or fat is not recommended. Fat and oil can  
suddenly boil over and cause severe burns.  
Shielding  
Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking.  
Areas that need shielding include poultry wing-tips, the ends of poultry  
legs, and corners of square baking dishes. Use only small amounts of  
aluminum foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven.  
Some ingredients heat faster than others. For example, the jelly  
inside a jelly doughnut will be hotter than the dough. Keep this in  
mind to avoid burns.  
Home canning in the microwave oven is not recommended because  
all harmful bacteria may not be destroyed by the microwave heating  
process.  
Turning  
Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to micro-  
wave energy. This is especially important with large items such as  
roasts.  
Although microwaves do not heat the cookware, the heat is from the  
food often transferred to the cookware. Always use pot holders when  
removing food from the microwave and instruct children to do the  
same.  
Standing  
Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue to  
cook for a few minutes after the oven stops. Let foods stand to complete  
cooking, especially foods such as roasts and whole vegetables. Roasts  
need this time to complete cooking in the center without overcooking the  
outer areas. All liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken  
or stirred when cooking is complete. Let liquids stand a moment before  
serving. When heating baby food, stir well and test the temperature  
before serving.  
Making candy in the microwave is not recommended as candy can  
heat to very high temperatures. Keep this in mind to avoid injury.  
Adding Moisture  
Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven  
in moisture content should be covered or allowed to stand so that the  
heat disperses evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food to help it  
cook.  
Venting  
After covering dish with plastic wrap, you vent plastic wrap by turning  
back one corner so excess steam can escape.

Notes:  
Follow the instructions below when defrosting different types of food.  
Check foods when the oven signals. After the final stage, small sections  
may still be icy; let them stand to continue thawing. Do not defrost until  
all ice crystals have thawed. Shielding roasts and steaks with small  
pieces of foil prevents the edges from cooking before the center of the  
food has defrosted. Use narrow, flat, smooth strips of aluminum foil to  
cover the edges and thinner sections of the food.

Appendix  
Troubleshooting Guide  
Before you call a repair person for your oven, check this list of possible  
problems and solutions.  
Neither the oven’s display nor the oven operate.  
Using your microwave causes TV or radio interference.  
This is similar to the interference caused by other small appliances,  
such as hair dryers. Move your microwave further away from other  
appliances, like your TV or radio.  
Properly insert the plug into a grounded outlet.  
If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch, make sure the wall switch  
is turned on.  
Remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten seconds, then plug it in  
again.  
Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuse.  
Plug another appliance into the outlet; if the other appliance doesn’t  
work, have a qualified electrician repair the outlet.  
Plug the oven into a different outlet.  
Care and Cleaning  
Follow these instructions to clean and care for your oven.  
Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids  
can stick to the oven walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently.  
Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not  
use harsh detergents or abrasives.  
To help loosen baked on food particles or liquids, heat two cups of  
water (add the juice of one lemon if you desire to keep the oven  
fresh) in a four-cup measuring glass at High power for five minutes  
or until boiling. Let stand in the oven for one or two minutes.  
Remove the glass tray from the oven when cleaning the oven or tray.  
To prevent the tray from breaking, handle it carefully and do not put it  
in water immediately after cooking. Wash the tray carefully in warm  
sudsy water or in the dishwasher.  
The oven’s display works, but the power won’t come  
on.  
Make sure the door is closed securely.  
Check to see if packing material or other material is stuck to the door  
seal.  
Check for door damage.  
Press Cancel twice and re-enter all cooking instructions.  
The power goes off before the set time has elapsed.  
Clean the outside surface of the oven with soap and a damp cloth.  
Dry with a soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts of the  
oven, don’t let water seep into the openings.  
If there has not been a power outage, remove the plug from the  
outlet, wait ten seconds, then plug it in again. If there was a power  
outage, the time indicator will display “ ENJOY YOUR COOKING - - -  
PRESS MY CHOICE FOR PERSONAL OPTIONS” Reset the clock  
and any cooking instructions.  
Wash the door window with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use  
a soft cloth to avoid scratching.  
If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a  
soft cloth. Steam can accumulate when operating the oven in high  
humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage.  
Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuse.  
The food is cooking too slowly.  
Never operate the oven without food in it; this can damage the  
magnetron tube or glass tray. You may wish to leave a cup of water  
in the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is  
accidentally turned on.  
Make sure the oven is on its own 20 amp circuit line. Operating  
another appliance on the same circuit can cause a voltage drop. If  
necessary, move the oven to its own circuit.  
You see sparks or arcing.  
Remove any metallic utensils, cookware, or metal ties. If using foil,  
use only narrow strips and allow at least one inch between the foil  
and interior oven walls.  
The turntable makes noises or sticks.  
Clean the turntable, roller ring and oven floor.  
Make sure the turntable and roller ring are positioned correctly.

side, the air will be recirculated through a disposable charcoal filter that  
helps remove smoke and odors.  
The charcoal filter should be replaced when it is noticeably dirty or dis-  
colored (usually after 6 to 12 months, depending on hood usage).  
Removing Charcoal Filter  
To remove the charcoal filter, disconnect power at the main fuse or cir-  
cuit breaker panel or pull the plug.  
Remove the top grille by removing the 2 screws that hold it in place.  
Slide the filter towards the front of the oven and remove it.  
Reusable Grease Filters  
The metal filters trap grease released by foods on the cooktop. They  
also prevent flames from foods on the cooktop from damaging the inside  
of the microwave.  
Screws  
For this reason, the filters must ALWAYS be in place when the vent fan  
is used. The grease filters should be cleaned once a month, or as  
needed.  
Removing and Cleaning the Filters  
To remove, slide it to the left using the tab. Pull it down and out.  
Remove 2 grille screws to remove the grill  
To clean the grease filters, soak and then swish them around in hot  
water and detergent.  
Don’t use ammonia or ammonia products because they will darken the  
metal.  
Light brushing can be used to remove embedded dirt.  
Rinse, shake and let them dry before replacing.  
To replace, slide the filters in the frame slot on the left of the opening.  
Pull up and to the right to lock into place.
