GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of  
an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of  
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the  
electric current.  
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS  
The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz,  
AC only, 20 amp. It is recommended that a  
separate circuit serving only the oven be provided.  
The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding  
plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that

arranged so that it will not drape over the counter  
top or table top where it can be pulled on by  
children or tripped over unintentionally.  
Power Supply Cord  
1. A short power supply cord is provided to  
reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled  
in or tripping over a longer cord.  
Notes:  
If you have any questions about the grounding or  
electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician  
or service person.  
2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are  
available and may be used if care is exercised in  
their use.  
Neither manufacturer nor the dealer can accept any  
liability for damage to the oven or personal injury  
resulting from failure to observe the electrical  
connection procedures.  
3. If long cord or extension cord is used  
a) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or  
extension cord should be at least as great as the  
electrical rating of the appliance.  
b) The extension cord must be a grounding-type  
3-wire cord, and The longer cord should be

the microwave, which ones have limited use for  
short periods, and which ones should not be  
used in the microwave.  
heating at low temperatures. Do not use  
recycled paper, which may contain metal and  
could ignite.  
Wax paper Use as a cover to prevent  
spattering.  
Thermometers Use only those labeled  
"Microwave Safe" and follow all directions.  
Check the food in several places. Conventional  
thermometers may be used on microwave food  
once the food has been removed from the  
oven.  
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.  
ü
Microwaveable plastic wrap Use to retain  
steam. Leave a small opening for some steam  
to escape and avoid placing it directly on the  
food.  
L 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. You should keep distance of 1 inch  
(2.54cm) between aluminum foil and cavity.  
Paper towels and napkins Use for  
short-term heating and covering; these absorb  
excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do not  
use recycled paper towels, which may contain  
metal and could ignite.  
Ceramic, porcelain, and stonewareUse  
these if they are labeled "Microwave Safe". If  
they are not labeled, test them to make sure  
they can be used safely.  
Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes  
Use for heating or cooking.  
Paper plates and cups Use for short-term  
4
 
Plastic Use only if labeled "Microwave  
Note:  
Safe". Other plastics can melt.  
Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for  
microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven  
and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish  
which becomes very hot should not be used.  
û 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 an 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 oven.  
Remove all metal before cooking.  
COOKING TECHNIQUES  
Your microwave makes cooking easier than  
conventional cooking, provided you keep these  
considerations in mind:  
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.  
STIRRING  
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.  
TURNING  
Turn foods over midway through cooking to  
expose all parts to microwave energy. This is  
especially important with large foods such as  
roasts.  
ARRANGEMENT  
STANDING  
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 delicate  
areas, such as asparagus tips, toward the  
center of the turntable.  
Foods cooked in the microwave build up  
internal heat and continue to cook for a few  
minutes after heating stops. Let foods stand to  
complete cooking, especially 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  
SHIELDING

stirred when cooking is complete. Let liquids  
stand a moment before serving. When heating  
baby food, stir well at removal 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  
warm sudsy water or in a dishwasher.  
1. Turn off the oven and remove the power  
plug from the wall socket before cleaning.  
8. The roller ring and oven floor should be  
cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise.  
Simply wipe the bottom surface of the  
oven with mild detergent. The roller ring  
may be washed in mild sudsy water or  
dishwasher. When removing the roller ring  
from cavity floor for cleaning, be sure to  
replace in the proper position.  
2. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When  
food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to  
oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild  
detergent may be used if the oven gets  
very dirty. Avoid the use of spray and other  
harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak  
or dull the door surface.  
9. Remove odors from your oven by  
combining a cup of water with the juice  
and skin of one lemon in a deep  
microwaveable bowl, microwave for 5  
minutes. Wipe thoroughly and dry with a  
soft cloth.  
3. The outside surfaces should be cleaned  
with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to  
the operating parts inside the oven, water  
should not be allowed to seep into the  
ventilation openings.  
4. Wipe the door and window on both sides,  
the door seals and adjacent parts  
frequently with a damp cloth to remove  
any spills or spatters. Do not use abrasive  
cleaner.  
10. When it becomes necessary to replace the  
oven light, please consult a dealer to have  
it replaced.  
11. The oven should be cleaned regularly and  
any food deposits removed. Failure to
