PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE
EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY
(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven withthe
door open since open-door operation can
result in harmful exposure to microwave
energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper
with the safety interlocks.
(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.
(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).
(2) Hinges and latches (broken or loosened).
(3) Door seals and sealing surfaces.
(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired
by anyone except properly qualified service
personnel.
Electrical
requirements
Observe all governing codes and
ordinances. A 120-Volt, 60-Hz, AC-only,
15- or 20-amp fused electrical supply is
required. (A time-delay fuse is recommended.)
It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong
outlet. Do not remove ground
prong. Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these
instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
• For all cord connected appliances:
The microwave oven must be grounded.
In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock
by providing an escape wire for the electric
current. The microwave oven is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire with a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded.
Ensure proper ground
exists before use
kWARNING: Improper

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS
Amount of Food
• Ifyou increase or decrease the amount of food
you prepare,the time it takesto cook that food will
also change. Forexample, if you doublea recipe,
add a littlemore than halfthe original cooking time.
Check for doneness and, ifnecessary,add more
time insmall increments.
Starting Temperature of Food
• The lower the temperature ofthe food being
put intothe microwave oven, the longer ittakes to
cook. Food at roomtemperature will be re-heated
more quicklythan food at refrigeratortemperature.
Composition of Food
• Food with a lot of fat and sugar will be heated
fasterthan food containing alot of water. Fatand
sugar willalso reacha higher temperature than
water inthe cooking process.
• The denser the food, the longer ittakes to heat.
Size and Shape
• Smaller pieces of food will cookfaster than larger
pieces.Also, same-shaped piecescook more
evenly than different-shaped pieces.
• With foods that have different thicknesses, the
thinner parts willcook faster thanthe thicker parts.
Place the thinner parts of chicken wings and legs
in the center of the dish.
Stirring and Turning Foods
• Stirring and turning foods spreads heat quickly
tothe center of the dish and avoids overcooking at
the outer edges ofthe food.
Covering Food
Cover food to:
• Reduce splattering
• Shorten cooking times
• Keep food moist
You can use any covering that letsmicrowaves pass
through. See "Gettingto Know Your Microwave
Oven" for materialsthat microwaves will pass
through. Ifyou are using the Sensor function, be
sure tovent.
ReleasingPressurein Foods
• Severalfoods (forexample:bakedpotatoes,
sausages,egg yolks,and somefruits)aretightly
coveredbya skin or membrane.Steamcan buildup
underthe membraneduring cooking,causingthe
foodtoburst.Torelievethepressureandto prevent
bursting,pierce these foodsbeforecookingwitha
forkor toothpick.
UsingStanding Time
• Alwaysallowfood tostand eitherin oroutside
theovenaftercookingpowerstops.Standingtime
afterdefrostingand cookingallowsthetemperature
toevenly spreadthroughoutthefood, improvingthe
cookingresults.Forstandingtime insidetheoven,
programa "0"powersecondstageofthe cooking
cycle.See "Two-StageCooking."
• The lengthofthe standing time dependson the
amountoffood beingcookedandhowdenseit is.
Sometimesit canbe asshort asthetime ittakesto
removethefoodfromthe ovenand moveitto the
servingtable. However,with larger,denserfood items,
thestandingtime maybe aslong as 10minutes.
Arranging Food
Forbest results,placefoodevenly onthe plate.Youcan
do this in severalways:
• If you are cooking several items of the same food,
suchas bakedpotatoes,place them in a ring pattern
foruniformcooking.
• Whencooking foodsof unevenshapes or
thickness, such as chicken breasts, place the
smallerorthinnerarea ofthefoodtowardthe center
ofthe dishwhere itwillbe heatedlast.
• Layer thin slices of meat ontop ofeachother.
• When you cook or reheat whole fish, score the
skin- this preventscracking.
• Do not letfoodor a containertouchthe topor sidesof
theoven.This willpreventpossiblearcing(sparking.)

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS (CONT.)
Using Aluminum Foil
Metal containers should not be used in a microwave
oven. There are, however, some exceptions. If you
have purchased food which is prepackaged in an
aluminum foil container, refer to the instructions on
the package. When using aluminum foil containers,
cooking times may be longer because microwaves
will only penetrate the exposed top of the food and
not the bottom or the sides. If you use aluminum
containers without package instructions, follow
these guidelines:
• Place the aluminum foil container in a glass bowl
and add some water so that it covers the bottom of
the container, but not more than 1/4 in. (0.64 cm)
deep. This ensures even heating of the container
bottom.
• Always remove the container lid to avoid damage
to the oven.
• Use only undamaged containers.
• Do not use containers taller than 3/4 in. (1.9 cm).
• Container must be at least half filled.
• To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum 1/4
in. (0.64 cm) between the aluminum container
and the walls of the oven and also between two
aluminum containers.
• Always place the container on the turntable.
• Shield parts of food that may cook quickly, such as
wing tips and leg ends of poultry, with small pieces
of aluminum foil.
• Heating food in aluminum foil containers usually
takes up to double the time compared to reheating
in plastic, glass, china, or paper containers.
The time when food is ready will vary depending
upon the type of container you use.
• Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after heating so
that heat is spread evenly throughout the container.
Cookingyou shouldnot do in your
microwave oven
• Do not can foods in the oven. Closed glass jars
may explode, resulting in damage to the oven.
• Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize objects
(baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at
the high temperature needed for sterilization.
• Do not deep fry foods.
Removing the Grill Rack
• When popping commercially packaged popcorn,
remove the grill rack and crisping tray from the
oven; do not place the bag of microwave popcorn
on the rack.
CAUTION:
Popping microwave popcornwith the grill rack
and crispingtraycan cause fire or damage to the
microwave oven.

However, in order to enter food weight in Auto
Defrost, you must specify pounds and tenths of a
pound.
If the weight on the food package is in fractions of a
pound, you can use the following table to convert the
weight to decimals.
EquivalentWeight

• When using Auto Defrost, the weight to be
entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths
of pounds (the weight of the food minus the
container).
• Before starting, make sure you have removed
any of the metal twist-ties which often come with
frozen food bags, and replace them with strings
or elastic bands.
• Open containers such as cartons before they are
placed in the oven.
• Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or
packaging.
• If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place
it in a suitable container.
• Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as
sausage.
• Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even
defrosting.
• Always underestimate defrosting time. If
defrosted food is still icy in the center, return it to
the microwave oven for more defrosting.
• The length of defrosting time varies according to
how solidly the food is frozen.
• The shape of the package affects how quickly
food will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost
more quickly than deep packages.
• As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces.
Separated pieces defrost more easily.
• For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat,
and poultry from its original closed paper or
plastic package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap
will hold steam and juice close to the foods, which
can cause the outer surface of the foods to cook.
• For best results, shape your ground meat into
the form of a doughnut before freezing. When
defrosting, scrape off thawed meat when the beep
sounds and continue defrosting.
• Place foods in a shallow container or on a
microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.
• For better results, let food stand after defrosting.
(For more information on standing time, see the
"Microwave Cooking Tips" section.)
• Turn over food during defrosting or standing time.
Break apart and remove food as required.

Using Sensor Cooking
SENSOR COOKING
SENSOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your
favorite foods without selecting cooking times and
power levels. The oven automatically determines
required cooking time for each food item. When
the internal sensor detects a certain amount
of humidity coming from the food, it will tell the
oven how much longer to heat. The display
will show the remaining heating time. For best
results in cooking with the Sensor, follow these
recommendations:
• Food cooked with the sensor system should be
at normal storage temperature.
• Glass Tray and outside of the container should
be dry to assure best cooking results.
• Foods should always be loosely covered with
microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper, or
a lid.
• Do not open the door or touch the STOP/
Clear pad during the sensing time. When the
sensing time is over, the oven beeps twice and
the remaining cooking time will appear in the
display window. At this time, you can open the
door to stir, turn, or rearrange the food.
SENSOR COOKING GUIDE
Appropriate containers and coverings help assure
good Sensor cooking results.
• Always use microwavable containers and cover
them with lids or vented plastic wrap.
• Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They
can prevent steam from escaping and cause
food to overcook.
• Match the amount to the size of the container.
Fill containers at least half full for best results.
• Be sure the outside of the cooking container and
the inside of the microwave oven are dry before
placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture
turning into steam can mislead the sensor.

GRILL COOKING
INTRODUCTION
This oven cooks the outside of foods much like
conventional radiant heat, while also penetrating
the surface so the inside cooks simultaneously.
Grilling is cooking under direct heat. This oven
can grill meat, fish, poultry, and vegetables, or
toast bread.
Your oven uses grill cooking whenever you use
the Grill Command Pads.
• Foods that are suitable for broiling should be
tender, moderately lean and no morethan 1 in.
(2.5 cm) thick. Fishsteaks, chicken breasts,and
hamburgers are idealfor grilling.
• Foreven browning, turn the food over after 2/3
of grilling time.
• Do not leavethe door open for a longperiod
of time when usingthe grill element. This will
cause the oven temperature to drop and could
affect cooking performance.
• For best grilling performance, limit useof fan
speeds to 1,2, or 3 while grilling.
GRILL RACK
When cooking very oily food, placethe food
directly on the grill rackandput a heatproof dish
on the glass turntable to catch the drippings.
