Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. This oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a ground- ing plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Electrical Requirements
The oven is equipped with a
NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE
THE GROUNDING PIN FROM THE PLUG.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.

Information You Need To Know
About your oven
This Use and Care Guide is valuable: read it carefully and always save it for reference.
NEVER use the oven without the turntable and support nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could be placed in the oven. The turntable will turn both clockwise and counterclockwise.
ALWAYS have food in the Microwave Oven when it is on to absorb the microwave energy.
When using the oven at power levels below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is normal for the exterior of the oven to be warm to the touch when cooking or reheating.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cook- ing. Room humidity and the moisture in food will influence the amount of moisture that condenses in the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones. Ventilation openings must not be blocked.
The Microwave Oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your Microwave Oven is rated 1200 watts by using the IEC Test Procedure. In using recipes or package directions, check food a minute or two before the minimum time and add time accordingly.
About microwave cooking
???Place food in the center of the oven cavity. Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
???Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
???Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Cov- ers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
???Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any thin areas of meat or poultry to prevent over- cooking before dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.
???Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if possible.
???Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and
hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
???Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.
???Add standing time. Remove food from oven and stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allows the food to finish cooking without overcooking.
???Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking temperatures have been reached.
Doneness signs include:
-Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
-Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
-Poultry thigh joints move easily.
-Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
-Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
E
Information You Need To Know
About safety
???Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agriculture???s recom- mended temperatures.
???Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dish???s covering and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags away from the face.
???Stay near the oven while it???s in use and check cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food.
???NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other items.
???Select, store and handle food carefully to pre- serve its high quality and minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.
???Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing and/or fires.
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. Never leave the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave use.
???ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when handling utensils that are in contact with hot food. Enough heat from the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin burns.
???Use care when removing items from the oven so that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not touch the safety door latches.
???Keep aluminum foil used for shielding at least 1 inch away from walls, ceiling and door.
About children and the microwave
Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave oven with a supervising person very near to them. Between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person should be in the same room.
The child must be able to reach the oven comfort- ably; if not, he/she should stand on a sturdy stool.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the oven door.
Children should be taught all safety precautions: use potholders, remove coverings carefully, pay special attention to packages that crisp food because they may be extra hot.
Don???t assume that because a child has mastered one cooking skill he/she can cook everything.
Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not a toy. See page 26 for Child Lock feature.

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.
The following coverings are ideal:
???Paper towels are good for covering foods for reheating and absorbing fat while cooking bacon.
???Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheating.
???Plastic wrap that is specially marked for micro- wave use can be used for cooking and reheating. DO NOT allow plastic wrap to touch food. Vent so steam can escape.
???Lids that are
???Oven cooking bags are good for large meats or foods that need tenderizing. DO NOT use metal twist ties. Remember to slit bag so steam can escape.
How to use aluminum foil in your Over the Range Microwave Oven:
???Small flat pieces of aluminum foil placed smoothly on the food can be used to shield areas that are either defrosting or cooking too quickly.

Cleaning and Care 29
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or leave the door open to inactivate the oven during cleaning.
Exterior
The outside surface is precoated steel and plastic. Clean the outside with mild soap and water; rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.
Door
Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.
Touch Control Panel
Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close door and touch STOP/clear.
Interior
Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to the interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and setting of spills or spattering. To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use baking soda or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. The rack can be cleaned with hot soapy water, rinsed and dried.
Odor Removal
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the oven. To remove, combine 1 cup water, grated peel and juice of 1 lemon and several whole cloves in a
