ꢀ See door surface cleaning instructions in the “Oven Care”
section.
ꢀ To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
– Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the microwave
oven if paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are
placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
– Do not overheat the liquid.
– Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before
placing bags in oven.
– Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
– Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
– If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door
closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or
shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
– After heating, allow the container to stand in the
Amicrowave oven for a short time before removing the
container.
– Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave
paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity
when not in use.
– Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil
into the container.

since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure
to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or
tamper with the safety interlocks.
(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly
important that the oven door close properly and that there
is no damage to the:
(1) Door (bent),
(b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and
the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on
sealing surfaces.

Electrical Requirements
Grids
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.The microwave
oven is connected to a 110-volt side of the 240-volt circuit
required for the lower oven. If the incoming voltage to the
microwave oven is less than 110 volts, cooking times may be
longer. Have a qualified electrician check your electrical system.
ꢀ
ꢀ
Grids will become hot. Always use oven mitts or pot holders
when handling.
Do not allow the grids to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling
or floor.
ꢀ
ꢀ
Always use the turntable.
Do not store the grids in the oven. Damage to the oven could
result if someone accidentally turns on the microwave oven.
This device complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules.
ꢀ
ꢀ
ꢀ
ꢀ
Do not use another metal object with the grids.
Two-level cooking is not recommended.
Do not place popcorn bags on the grids.

The material coating the bottom absorbs microwaves and
transfers the heat to the pan and food. The crisper pan reaches
436°F (210°C) in approximately 3 minutes, at which time it stops
absorbing microwaves and holds this optimal frying temperature.

MICROWAVE OVEN USE
A magnetron in the oven produces microwaves which reflect off
the metal floor, walls and ceiling and pass through the turntable
and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are attracted
to and absorbed by fat, sugar and water molecules in the food,
causing them to move, producing friction and heat which cooks
the food.
Food Characteristics
When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting
temperature, composition and density of the food affect cooking
results.
ꢀ
Do not lean on or allow children to swing on the microwave
oven door.
Amount of Food
The more food heated at once, the longer the cook time. Check
for doneness and add small increments of time if necessary.
ꢀ
ꢀ
Do not operate microwave oven when it is empty.
The turntable must be in place and correct side up when
microwave oven is in use. Do not use if turntable is chipped
or broken. See “Assistance or Service” section to reorder.
Size and Shape
Smaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger pieces,
and uniformly shaped foods cook more evenly than irregularly
shaped food.
ꢀ
ꢀ
Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in
microwave oven.
Starting Temperature
Room temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated foods,
and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods.
Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including
brown paper bags and newspaper, should not be dried in
microwave oven.
ꢀ
Do not use the microwave oven for canning, sterilizing or
deep frying. The microwave oven cannot maintain
appropriate temperatures.
Composition and Density
Foods high in fat and sugar will reach a higher temperature, and
will heat faster than other foods. Heavy, dense foods, such as
meat and potatoes, require a longer cook time than the same size
of a light, porous food, such as cake.
ꢀ
ꢀ
ꢀ
Paraffin wax will not melt in the microwave oven because it
does not absorb microwaves.
Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from
microwave oven.
Cooking Guidelines
Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended
cook time, potatoes should be slightly firm. Let potatoes
stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.
Covering
Covering food helps retain moisture, shorten cook time and
reduce spattering. Use the lid supplied with cookware. If a lid is
not available, wax paper, paper towels or plastic wrap approved
for microwave ovens may be used. Plastic wrap should be turned
back at one corner to provide an opening to vent steam.
ꢀ
Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam
buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst. Cover
poached eggs and allow a standing time.
12
Condensation on the door and cavity surfaces is normal during
heavy cooking.
MATERIAL
RECOMMENDATIONS
Straw, Wicker,
Wooden
Containers
Do not use in microwave oven.
Stirring and Turning
Stirring and turning redistribute heat evenly to avoid overcooking
the outer edges of food. Stir from outside to center. If possible,
turn food over from bottom to top.
Wax Paper
Acceptable for use.
Arranging
To Test Cookware or Dinnerware for Microwave Use:
If heating irregularly shaped or different sized foods, arrange the
thinner parts and smaller sized items toward the center. If
cooking several items of the same size and shape, place them in
a ring pattern, leaving the center of the ring empty.
1. Put cookware or dinnerware in microwave oven with 1 cup
(250 mL) of water beside it.
2. Cook at 100% cooking power for 1 minute.
Do not use cookware or dinnerware if it becomes hot and the
water stays cool.
Piercing
Before heating, use a fork or small knife to pierce or prick foods
that have a skin or membrane, such as potatoes, egg yolks,
chicken livers, hot dogs, and sausage. Prick in several places to
allow steam to vent.
Aluminum Foil and Metal
Always use oven mitts or pot holders when removing dishes from
the microwave oven.
Shielding
Aluminum foil and some metal can be used in the microwave
oven. If not used properly, arcing (a blue flash of light) can occur
and cause damage to the microwave oven.
Use small, flat pieces of aluminum foil to shield the thin pieces of
irregularly shaped foods, bones and foods such as chicken
wings, leg tips and fish tail. See “Aluminum Foil and Metal” first.
OK for Use
Standing Time
Food will continue to cook by the natural conduction of heat even
after the microwave cooking cycle ends. The length of standing
time depends on the volume and density of the food.
Racks and bakeware supplied with the microwave oven (on some
models), aluminum foil for shielding, and approved meat
thermometers may be used with the following guidelines:
ꢀ
Do not allow aluminum foil or metal to touch the inside cavity
walls, ceiling or floor.
Cookware and Dinnerware
Cookware and dinnerware must fit on the turntable. Always use
oven mitts or pot holders when handling because any dish may
become hot from heat transferred from the food. Do not use
cookware and dinnerware with gold or silver trim. Use the
following chart as a guide, then test before using.
ꢀ
ꢀ
Always use the turntable.
Do not allow contact with another metal object during
cooking.
Do Not Use
MATERIAL
RECOMMENDATIONS
Metal cookware and bakeware, gold, silver, pewter, non-
approved meat thermometers, skewers, twist ties, foil liners
such as sandwich wrappers, staples and objects with gold or
silver trim or a metallic glaze should not be used in the
microwave oven.
