  1. Read all instructions before using the microwave oven.
  2. This microwave must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlets. See page 4 for Grounding Instructions.
  3. Install or place this microwave only according to the installation instructions.
  4. Some items, such as whole eggs and sealed containers-for example, closed glass jars, can explode and should not be heated in this oven.
  5. This microwave is intended for use only as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this microwave. This type of microwave is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry foods. It is not designed for laboratory use.
  6. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
  7. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity, do not overcook food. Carefully attend to the microwave when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the microwave to facilitate cooking.
  8. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing them in the microwave.
  9. If materials inside the microwave should ignite, keep the microwave door closed, turn it off, and disconnect the power cord or turn off the power fuse at the circuit breaker panel. Do not use the microwave cavity for storage purposes.
  10. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.
  11. Do not heat oil or fat for deep-frying in this microwave. It is difficult to control the temperature of oil in the microwave.
  12. Pierce foods with heavy skins, such as potatoes, before cooking.
  13. The contents of feeding bottles and baby jars should be stirred or shaken and the temperature should be checked before serving to avoid burns.
  14. Cooking utensils may become hot from the heat transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may be needed to handle these utensils.
  15. Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave.
  16. Do not store or use this microwave outdoors. Do not use this microwave near water, for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or similar location.
  17. Do not operate this microwave if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.
  18. Do not immerse the cord or plug in water. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter.
  19. Use only thermometers specifically designed for microwaves.
  20. Do not operate any heating or cooking devices under this microwave.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

  1. Do not attempt to operate this microwave with the door open. Door open operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.
  2. Do not place any objects between the microwave front face and the door, or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
  3. Do not operate the microwave if damaged. It is particularly important that the microwave door be properly closed and there is no damage to the door (bent), hinges, and latches (broken or loosened), or door seals and sealing surfaces.
  4. The microwave should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

COOKING UTENSILS GUIDE

This section lists which utensils can be used in this microwave, which have limited use for short periods, and which should not be used in this microwave.

RECOMMENDED

Microwave browning dish

  • Use to brown the exterior of small items such as steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with your Browning dish.

Microwaveable plastic wrap

  • Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on the food.

Paper towels and napkins

  • Use for short-term heating and covering; these absorb excess moisture and prevent splattering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and could ignite.

Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes

  • Use for heating and cooking.

Paper plates and cups

  • Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do not use recycled paper, which may contain metal and could ignite.

Wax paper

  • Use as a cover to prevent splattering.

Thermometers

  • Use only those labeled “Microwave Safe” and follow all directions. Check the food in several places. Conventional thermometers may be used on microwaved food once the food has been removed from the microwave.

LIMITED USE

Aluminum foil

  • Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking exposed areas. Using too much foil can damage your microwave, so be careful. Keep 1” between foil and microwave cavity.

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.

Plastic

  • Only use if labeled “Microwave Safe”. Other plastics may melt.

NOT RECOMMENDED

Glass jars and bottles

Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave. It can shatter and cause damage and injury.

Paper bags

These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that are designed for microwave use.

Styrofoam plates and cups

These can melt and leave unhealthy residue on food.

Plastic storage and food containers

Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the microwave.

Metal utensils

These can damage your microwave. Remove all metal before cooking.

Note:

  • Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the microwave and microwave on high for 30 seconds. A dish that becomes very hot should not be used.

COOKING TECHNIQUES

Your microwave makes cooking easier than conventional cooking, provided you keep these considerations in mind:

STIRRING

  • Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute heat evenly.
  • Food on the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and heats quicker, so stir from the outside to the center.
  • The microwave will turn off when you open the door to stir your food.

ARRANGEMENT

  • Arrange evenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with the thicker, meatier parts towards the outside of the turntable where they receive more microwave energy.
  • To prevent overcooking, place delicate areas, such as asparagus tips, towards the center of the turntable.

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 the corners of square baking dishes.
  • Use only small amounts of aluminum foil, as larger amounts may damage your microwave.

TURNING

  • Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to microwave energy.
  • This is especially important when cooking large foods such as roasts.

STANDING

  • Foods cooked in a microwave build up internal heat and continue to cook for a few minutes after heating stops.
  • Let foods stand to complete cooking, especially for foods such as cakes 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.
  • When heating baby food, stir well after removing from the microwave and test the temperature before serving.

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.

CLEANING AND CARE

  1. Turn off the microwave and unplug the power cord from the wall socket when cleaning.
  2. Keep the inside of the microwave clean. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to microwave walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergents may be used if the microwave gets very dirty. Avoid using spray or other harsh cleaners.
    They may stain, streak, or dull the door surface.
  3. The outside of the microwave should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the microwave, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.
  4. Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any spills or splatters.
  5. Do not allow the control panel to become wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. When cleaning the panel, leave the microwave door open to prevent it from accidentally turning on.
  6. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when the microwave is operated under high humidity. This is normal.
  7. It may be necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm, soapy water or a dishwasher. The roller ring and microwave floor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. Wipe the bottom surface of the microwave with a mild detergent.
  8. The roller ring may be washed in mild, soapy water or a dishwasher. When removing the roller ring, be sure to replace it in the proper position.
  9. Remove odors from your microwave by combining a cup of water with the juice and skin of one lemon in a microwaveable bowl. Microwave for 5 minutes. Wipe thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
  10. If the light bulb burns out, please contact customer service (1-866-257-3336) to have it replaced.
  11. The microwave should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits should be removed. Failure to maintain the microwave in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of surfaces that could adversely affect the life of the unit and could possibly result in a hazardous situation.
  12. Please do not dispose of this appliance in a regular garbage receptacle. Please check to see where you can dispose of such appliances.

BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE

Before asking for service, please check each item below:

  • Check to ensure the microwave is plugged in securely. If not, remove the plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds, and plug it in again securely.

  • Check to ensure the control panel is programmed correctly and the timer is set.
  • Check to ensure the door is securely closed, engaging the door safety lock system. If the door is not properly closed, the microwave energy will not flow inside.
