Installation  
PRECAUTIONS  
*Be certain to place the front surface of the door three  
inches away or more from the countertop edge to avoid  
accidental tipping of the appliance in normal usage.  
*For the most accurate programming of the electronic units,  
touch the center of each pad securely. Do not touch  
several pads at one time or touch between pads. A beep  
sound should be heard with each touch when a pad is  
touched correctly.  
*Do not hit or strike the control with objects such as  
silverware, utensils, etc. Breakage may occur.  
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
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.  
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.  
Extension cord:  
*Be careful when taking the cooking utensils out of the  
oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the cooked food and  
may be hot.  
*Do not rinse cooking utensils by immediately placing them  
into water just after cooking. This may cause breakage.  
Allow the turntable to cool.  
*Use only specific glass utensils. See cooking utensils  
section in this manual.  
*Do not operate the oven empty. Either food or water  
should always be in the oven during operation to absorb  
microwave energy.  
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 shall be  
equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.  
Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may  
be used if care is exercised in their use.  
Be careful not to drape the cord over the countertop or table  
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over  
accidentally.  
Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult  
a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not  
completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the  
appliance is properly grounded.  
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks  
resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord.  
*Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers or clothes.  
They can catch fire.  
*Use only thermometers approved for microwave oven cooking.  
*Be certain the turntable is in place when you operate the oven.  
*Pierce the skin of potatoes, whole squash, apples, or any fruit  
or vegetable which has a skin covering before cooking.  
*Never use your microwave oven to cook eggs in the shell.  
Pressure can build up inside the shell, causing it to burst.  
*Do not pop popcorn, except in a microwave-safe container  
or commercial package designed especially for microwave  
ovens.  
Never try to pop popcorn in a paper bag not designed for  
microwave oven use. Overcooking may result in smoke  
and fire. Do not repop unpopped kernels. Do not reuse  
popcorn bags.  
Ensure proper ground  
exists before use  
CIRCUITS  
DO NOT BLOCK AIR VENTS  
For safety purposes this oven must be plugged into a 15 or  
20 Amp circuit. No other electrical appliances or lighting  
circuits should be on this line. If in doubt, consult a licensed  
electrician.  
All air vents should be kept clear during cooking. If air  
vents are covered during oven operation the oven may  
overheat. In this case, a sensitive thermal safety device  
automatically turns the oven off. The oven will be  
inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently.  
VOLTAGE  
The voltage used at the wall receptacle must be the same  
as specified on the oven name plate located inside oven  
door. 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. In case your  
microwave oven does not perform normally in spite of  
proper voltage, remove and reinsert the plug.  
RADIO INTERFERENCE  
1. Microwave oven operation may interfere with TV or radio  
reception.  
2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or  
eliminated by taking the following measures:  
a. Clean the door and the sealing surfaces of the oven.  
b. Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.  
c. Relocate the microwave oven in relation to the TV or radio.  
d. Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.  
e. Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that  
microwave oven and receiver are on different branch  
circuits.  
PLACEMENT OF THE OVEN  
Your 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 air flow around the oven  
is important.

Other Helpful Information  
Covering: A cover traps heat and steam and causes food  
to cook more quickly. You may either use a lid or  
microwave cling-film with a corner folded back to prevent  
splitting.  
GETTING THE BEST RESULTS FROM YOUR  
MICROWAVE OVEN  
Keep an eye on things. The instructions in this book  
have been formulated with great care, but your success  
in preparing food depends, of course, on how much  
attention you pay to the food as it cooks. Always watch your  
food while it cooks. Your microwave oven is equipped with  
a light that turns on automatically when the oven is in  
operation so that you can see inside and check the  
progress of your recipe. 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.  
Covering with waxed paper: Waxed paper effectively  
prevents spattering and helps food retain some heat. Since  
it makes a looser cover than a lid or cling-film, it allows the  
food to dry out slightly.  
Wrapping in waxed paper or paper towel: Sandwiches  
and many other foods containing prebaked bread should be  
wrapped prior to microwaving to prevent drying out.  
Arranging and spacing: Individual foods such as baked  
potatoes, small cakes, and hors d’oeuvres will heat more  
evenly if placed in the oven and equal distance apart,  
preferably in a circular pattern. Never stack foods on top of  
one another.  
Factors affecting 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. All of the recipes  
in this book give a range of cooking times. In general, you  
will find that the food remains under-cooked at the lower  
end of the time range, and you may sometimes want to  
cook your food beyond the maximum time given, according  
to personal preference. The governing philosophy of this  
book is that it is best for a recipe to be conservative in  
giving cooking times. While undercooked food may always  
be cooked a bit more, overcooked food is ruined for good.  
Some of the recipes, particularly those for bread, cakes,  
and custard, 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 foods gradually  
travels inward. If the foods are left in the oven until they are  
cooked all the way through, the outer portions will become  
overcooked or even burnt.  
Stirring: Stirring is one of the most important of all  
microwaving techniques. In conventional cooking, foods are  
stirred for the purpose of blending. Microwaved foods,  
however, are stirred in order to spread and redistribute  
heat. Always stir from the outside towards the center as the  
outside food heats first.  
Turning over: Large, tall foods such as roasts and whole  
chickens should be turned so that the top and bottom will  
cook evenly. It is also a good idea to turn cut-up chicken  
and chops.  
Placing thicker portions near the edge: Since  
microwaves are attracted to the outside portion of foods, it  
makes sense to place thicker portions of meat, poultry and  
fish to the outer edge of the baking dish. This way, thicker  
portions will receive the most microwave energy and the  
foods will cook evenly.  
Elevating: Thick or dense foods are often 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 both yolks and whites of eggs,  
clams and oysters, and many whole vegetables and fruits.  
As you gain experience in using your microwave oven, you  
will become increasingly skillful in estimating both cooking  
and standing times for various foods.  
Testing if cooked: Because foods cook so quickly in a  
microwave oven, it is necessary to test food frequently.  
Some foods are left in the microwave until completely  
cooked, but most foods, including meats and poultry, are  
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.  
SPECIAL TECHNIQUES IN MICROWAVE  
COOKING  
Browning: Meats and poultry that are cooked fifteen  
minutes or longer will brown lightly in their own fat. Foods  
that are cooked for a shorter period of time may be brushed  
with a browning sauce to achieve an appetizing color. The  
most commonly used browning sauces are Worcestershire  
sauce, soy sauce, and barbecue sauce. Since relatively  
small amounts of browning sauces are added to foods, the  
original flavor of recipes is not altered.  
Standing time: Foods are often allowed to stand for 3 to 10  
minutes after being removed from the microwave oven.  
Usually the foods are covered during standing time to retain  
heat unless they are supposed to be dry in texture (some  
cakes and biscuits, for example). Standing allows foods to  
finish cooking and also helps flavors to blend and develop.

Other Helpful Information  
NOTE: It is a common misconception that micro-waves  
cook food from the inside out. This comes from heating  
filled pastries with a high sugar content, like jelly doughnuts.  
The pastry is cool but the filling is very hot! If you cook a  
chicken or a roast, you’ll see the outside is cooked first.  
Shape of foods: Microwaves penetrate only about 1 inch  
(2.5cm) into foods; the interior portion of thick foods is  
cooked as the heat generated on the outside travels inward.  
In other words, only the outer edge of any food is actually  
cooked by microwave energy; the rest is cooked by  
convection.  
It follows then that the worst possible shape for a food that  
is to be microwaved is a thick cube. The corners will burn  
long before the center is even warm. Round, thin, and ring  
shaped foods cook most successfully in the microwave.  
Quantity of foods: 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 cooking time. Remember to decrease  
cooking times by at least one-third when halving a recipe.  
HOW FOOD CHARACTERISTICS AFFECT  
MICROWAVE COOKING  
Density of foods: Light, porous food like cakes and breads  
cook more quickly than heavy, dense foods such as roasts  
and casseroles. You must take care when microwaving  
porous foods that the outer edges do not become dry and  
brittle.  
Height of foods: The upper portion of tall foods,  
particularly roasts, will cook more quickly than the lower  
portion. Therefore, it is wise to turn tall foods during  
cooking, sometimes several times.  
Moisture content of foods: Since the heat generated from  
microwaves tends to evaporate moisture, relatively dry  
foods 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 foods: Bones conduct heat and  
fat cooks more quickly than meat. Therefore, care must be  
taken when cooking bony or fatty cuts of meat that the  
meats do not cook unevenly and do not become  
overcooked.  
Cooking Utensils  
MICROWAVE-SAFE UTENSILS  
CAUTION  
2. Glassware: Glassware that is heat-resistant is  
microwave-safe. This includes all brands of oven-tempered  
glass cookware. However, do not use delicate glassware,  
such as tumblers or wine glasses, as these might shatter as  
the food warms.  
3. Paper: Paper plates and containers are convenient  
and safe to use in your microwave oven, provided 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.  
4. Plastic storage containers: These can be used to hold  
foods that are to be quickly reheated. However, they should  
not be used to hold foods that will need considerable time in  
the oven as hot foods will eventually warp or melt plastic  
containers.  
5. Plastic cooking bags: These are microwave-safe  
provided they are specially made for cooking. However, be  
sure to make a slit in the bag so that steam can escape.  
Never use ordinary plastic bags for cooking in your  
microwave oven, as they will melt and rupture.  
SOME ITEMS ARE NOT INTENDED FOR MICROWAVE  
COOKING, INCLUDING SOME STONEWARE AND  
ITEMS WITH HIGH IRON OR LEAD CONTENTS.  
Never use metal or metal-trimmed utensils in your  
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 cooking utensils are safe  
for use in your microwave oven. However, some may  
contain materials that render them unsuitable as microwave  
cookware. If you have any doubts about a particular utensil,  
there is a simple way to find out if it can be used in your  
microwave oven.  
Testing utensils for microwave use: Place the utensil in  
question next to a glass bowl filled with water in the  
microwave oven. Microwave at power HIGH for 1 minute. If  
the water heats up but the utensil remains cool to the touch,  
the utensil is microwave-safe. However, if the water does  
not change temperature but the utensil becomes warm,  
microwaves are being absorbed by the utensil and it is not  
safe for use in the microwave oven. You probably have  
many items on hand in your kitchen that can be used as  
cooking equipment in your microwave oven. Just read  
through the following checklist.  
6. Plastic microwave cookware: A variety of shapes and  
sizes of microwave cookware is available. For the most  
part, you can probably cook with items you already have on  
hand rather than investing in new kitchen equipment.  
7. Pottery, stoneware, and ceramic:  
Containers made of these materials are usually fine for use  
in your microwave oven, but they should be tested to be  
sure.  
1. Dinner plates: Many kinds of dinner-ware are  
microwave-safe. If in doubt, consult the manu-facturer's  
literature or perform the microwave test, above.

Operating Instructions  
NOTE:  
AUTO DEFROST  
When you touch the START pad, the display changes to  
defrost time count down. The oven will beep twice during  
the DEFROST cycle. At each beep, open the door and  
turn, separate, or rearrange the food.  
Three defrost sequences are preset in the oven.  
The defrost feature provides you with the best defrosting  
method for frozen foods. The auto defrost sequence list will  
show you which defrost sequence is recommended for the  
food you are defrosting.  
Remove any portions that have thawed.  
Return frozen portions to the oven and touch START to  
resume the defrost cycle. The oven will not STOP  
during the BEEP unless the door is opened.  
With the Auto Defrost feature, the oven automatically sets  
the defrosting time and power levels for you.  
The oven automatically determines required defrosting  
times for each food item according to the weight you enter.  
* For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat, and  
poultry from its original closed paper or plastic package  
(wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and  
juice close to the foods, which can cause the outer  
surface of the foods to cook.  
For added convenience, the Auto Defrost includes  
a built-in beep mechanism that reminds you to check, turn  
over, separate, or rearrange.  
Three different defrosting levels are provided.  
* Place foods in a shallow glass baking dish or on  
a microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.

Do not use aluminum foil during cooking cycle.  
MEAT  
POULTRY  
1. The roast should be prepared and seasoned (if desired)  
as for any other conventional method. Meat should be  
thoroughly defrosted before cooking.  
1. No special techniques are required. The poultry should  
be prepared as for any other conventional method.  
Season if desired.  
2. Place the meat on a microwave roasting rack or  
ovenproof plate and place on the turntable.  
3. Cook according to the cooking chart (below), using the  
longer time for large meats and the shorter time for  
smaller meats. For thicker chops, use the longer time.  
4. Turn the meat once halfway through the cooking time.  
5. STAND for 5-10 minutes wrapped in foil after cooking.  
The standing time is very important as it completes the  
cooking process.  
2. Poultry should be thoroughly defrosted, ensuring giblets  
and any metal clamps are removed.  
3. Prick the skin and brush lightly with vegetable oil unless  
self-basting.  
4. All poultry should be placed on a microwave roasting  
rack or a microwave-proof plate and placed on the  
turntable.  
5. Cook according to the instructions in the cooking chart  
(below), turning the bird over halfway through the cooking  
time. Poultry, because of its shape, has a tendency to  
cook unevenly, especially in very bony parts. Turning the  
bird during roasting helps to cook these areas evenly.  
6. STAND for 5-10 minutes wrapped in foil after cooking  
before carving. The standing time is very important, as it  
completes the cooking process.  
6. Ensure meat, especially pork, is thoroughly cooked  
before eating.

7. Ensure poultry is thoroughly cooked before eating. Whole  
poultry is completely cooked when the juices run clear  
from the inside thigh when it is pierced with a sharp knife.  
Poultry portions should be pierced with a sharp knife  
through the thickest part to ensure that the juices are  
clear and the flesh is firm.

Heating or Reheating Guide  
To heat or reheat successfully in the microwave, it is important to follow several guidelines. Measure the amount of  
food in order to determine the time needed to reheat. Arrange the food in a circular pattern for best results. Room  
temperature food will heat faster than refrigerated food. Canned foods should be taken out of the can and placed in a  
microwavable container. The food will be heated more evenly if covered with a microwavable lid or plastic wrap,  
vented. Remove cover carefully to prevent steam burns. Use the following chart as a guide for reheating cooked food.
