What You Need to Know About Safety Instructions

CAUTION

WARNING

Improper use of the grounding can result in electric shock. To avoid risk of electrical shock or death, this oven must be grounded and plug must not be altered.

GROUNDING

INSTRUCTIONS

Oven MUST be grounded.

In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire

or the electric current if an electric short occurs. This oven is equippe with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding

plug. The plug mus be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. See Installation Instructions.

Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the oven is properly grounded.

Do not use an extension cord. If the product power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install a three-slot receptacle. This oven should be plugged into a separate 60 hertz circuit with the electrical ratting as shown in specifications table. When the oven is on a circuit with other equipment, an increase in cooking times may be required and fuses can be blown.

Microwave operates on standard household current, 120V.

WARNING

a.A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

b.Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.

c.If a long cord or an extension cord is used:

1.The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord set should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

2.The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3- wire cord.

3.The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over, snagged, or pulled on by children.

If you use an extension cord, the interior light may flicker and the blower sound may vary when the microwave oven is on. Cooking times may be longer, too.

Sensor Cook Operating Tips

The Sensor Cook categories are designed to detect the increasing humidity released by the food during the cooking process. The microwave oven sensor will automatically adjust the cooking time to the type and amount of food. The food categories that are controlled with the humidity sensor are::

For best results, do not use one of the Sensor Cook categories twice in succession on the same food portion. This may result in severely overcooked or burnt food. If the food appears to be undercooked, use one of the Easy Set pads or cook time pads to add more time.

Additional sensor cook suggestions are:

??Never start with less than 4 oz. of food.

??Use proper containers and covers for best sensor cooking results.

??Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with loose fitting lids or vented plastic wrap. Never use tight sealing plastic containers. They will prevent steam from escaping and this will mislead the sensor, usually causing the food to overcook.

Be sure the outside of the cooking containers and the cavity of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Excessive moisture turning into steam that does not result from the food cooking can mislead the sensor.

The food types to avoid using with the reheat feature are:

??Uncooked or raw foods.

??Bread and other dry types of food such as crackers, biscuits, or cakes.

??Beverages or frozen foods.

??Frozen pizza.

Notes concerning sensor reheat:

??For casseroles, add 2-3 tablespoons of liquid, cover with lid or vented plastic wrap. Stir when instructed from display.

??For canned foods, empty contents of can into a casserole dish or serving bowl. Cover dish with lid or vented plastic wrap. Let stand a few minutes before serving.

??For plates of food, arrange food on plate and add any butter or gravies, etc. Cover with loose-fitting lid or vented plastic wrap. After reheating, let stand a few minutes be

Example: to reheat (sensor) automatically:

1.Press Sensor Reheat pad once . Sensor detects vapor emitting from food to determine remaining cooking time and auto starts.

Suggested power levels for cooking

The 10 power levels available with this microwave will help you to adjust to the power output best suited for the food type you are preparing. As with any food preparation in the microwave, it is best to follow the microwave instructions that are printed on food packaging.

The table below provides suggested power levels for various types of food that you can be prepare in the microwave.

Suggestions for getting the best results

To help you achieve the best possible results from your microwave oven, read the following suggestions below;

Storage temperature

Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same foods would at room temperature.

??Size

Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones. Pieces similar in size and shape will cook more evenly when cooked together. For more even results, reduce the power levels when cooking large pieces of food.

Natural moisture

Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave energy heats water molecules very efficiently.

??Stirring

Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetable from the

outside to the center to distribute the heat more evenly. This will allow the food to cook faster. Constant stirring is not necessary.

Turn over items

Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts or whole cauliflower halfway through the cook time. This will help to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.

Food placement

Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the turntable tray.

Food arrangement

Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable tray.

Let the food stand

After removing the food from the microwave, cover the food with foil or a casserole lid and let it stand to finish cooking. This will help the food finish in the center and avoids overcooking the out edges. The length of stand time depends on the density and surface area of the food items.

Wrapping in paper towels or waxed paper

Sandwiches and many other food types containing pre- baked bread should be wrapped prior to placing in the microwave to help prevent the food items fro drying out while heating.

??Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Rarely is extra water needed. If dense vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and greens are being cooked, add about ?? cup of water.

??Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook faster than larger vegetables.

??Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the turntable before cooking. The will cook more evenly if turned over halfway through cooking.

??Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli with the stem ends pointing towards the edge of the dish and the tips toward the center.

??When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap.

??Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skin pricked in several locations before cooking to prevent them from bursting.

??For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway through the cook time.

??Most of the time, the denser the food the longer the required standing time. For example, a baked potato should stand for 5 minutes before serving, while a dish of peas may be served immediately.

Defrosting tips

??When using the defrost weight feature, the weight entered should always be (valid entries are from

??Use both defrost weight and defrost time features for raw food items only. Defrosting gives best results when food to be thawed is a minimum of 0??F (taken directly from a true freezer). If the food has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a temperature of 5?? F or below, always program a lower food weight or lower cook time to prevent cooking the food.

??If the frozen food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20 minutes, enter a reduced cook time or weight.

??The shape of the package will alter the defrosting time. Shallow rectangular food packets defrost more quickly than a deep frozen block of food.

??Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated frozen pieces of food defrost better.

??Shield warm areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to become warm.

??You may use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield food items like chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails, but do not allow the foil to touch the oven cavity walls when defrosting.

For best performance and for safety reasons, keep the oven clean inside and outside. Take special care to keep the inner door panel and oven from frame free of food and grease build-up.

Never use rough scouring powder or pads on the microwave. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out with a soft cloth and warm (not hot) mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe completely dry.

Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking greasy foods like chicken or bacon.

Clean your microwave oven weekly or more often, if

??Wash the oven door window with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft clean cloth to avoid scratching.

??If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accumulate when operating the oven in high humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage.

??Never operate the oven without food in the oven cavity; this can damage the magnetron tube or glass tray. You may wish to leave a cup of water standing inside the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is accidentally turned on.
