Food Preparation
Follow these Safety Precautions when cooking in your oven.
IMPORTANT
Proper cooking depends upon the power, the time setting
and quantity of food. If you use a smaller portion than
recommended but cook at the time for the recommended
portion, fire could result.
1) HOME CANNING / STERILIZING / DRYING FOODS / SMALL
QUANTITIES OF FOODS
• DO NOT use your oven for home canning. Your oven cannot
maintain the food at the proper canning temperature. The food
may be contaminated and then spoil.
• 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 dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in your oven.
Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture content can
dry out, scorch or catch on fire if overheated.
2) POPCORN
Popcorn may be popped in a microwave oven corn popper.
Microwave popcorn that pops in its own package is also available.
Follow popcorn manufacturers’ directions and use a brand suitable
for the cooking power of your microwave oven.
CAUTION: When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, you can
follow recommended package instructions or use the Popcorn pad
(refer to page 15). Otherwise, the popcorn may not pop adequately
or may ignite and cause a fire. Never leave the oven unattended
when popping popcorn. Allow the popcorn bag to cool before
opening, and always open the bag facing away from your face and
body to prevent steam burns.
F0003BX00CP.indd 6F0003BX00CP.indd 6 2017/5/5 10:57:092017/5/5 10:57:09
3) DEEP FAT FRYING
• DO NOT deep fat fry in your microwave oven. Cooking oils
may burst into flames and may cause damage to the oven and
may result in burns. Microwave utensils may not withstand the
temperature of the hot oil, and can shatter or melt.
4) FOODS WITH NONPOROUS SKINS
• DO NOT COOK / REHEAT WHOLE EGGS, WITH OR WITHOUT
THE SHELL.
Steam buildup in whole
eggs may cause them
to explode, and possibly
damage the oven or
cause injury. Reheating
SLICED hard-boiled eggs
and cooking SCRAMBLED eggs is safe.
• Potatoes, apples, whole squash
and sausages are examples of
foods with nonporous skins. These
types of foods must be pierced
before microwave cooking to
prevent them from exploding.
CAUTION: Cooking dry or old
potatoes can cause fire.
5) GLASS TRAY / COOKING CONTAINERS / FOIL
• Cooking containers get hot during microwaving. Heat is
transferred from the HOT food to the container and the Glass
Tray. Use pot holders when removing containers from the oven
or when removing lids or plastic wrap covers from cooking
containers, to avoid burns.
• The Glass Tray will get hot during cooking. It should be allowed
to cool before handling or before paper products, such as paper
plates or microwave popcorn bags, are placed in the oven for
microwave cooking.
• When using foil in the oven, allow at least 1-inch (2.5 cm) of
space between foil and interior oven walls or door.
• Dishes with metallic trim should not be used, as arcing
may occur.
7
8) THERMOMETERS
• DO NOT use a conventional
meat thermometer in
your oven. Arcing may
occur. Microwave safe
thermometers are available
for both meat and candy.
9) BABY FORMULA / BABY FOOD
• DO NOT heat baby formula or baby
food in the microwave oven. The glass
jar or surface of the food may appear
warm while the interior can be so hot
as to burn the infant’s mouth and
esophagus.
10) REHEATING PASTRY PRODUCTS
• When reheating pastry products, check temperatures of any
fillings before eating. Some foods have fillings, which heat faster
and can be extremely hot, while the surface remains warm to the
touch (for example, jelly donuts).
11) GENERAL OVEN USAGE GUIDELINES
• DO NOT use the oven for any purpose other than the
preparation of food.
Food Preparation (continued)

You are probably used to measuring food in pounds
and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for
example, 4 ounces equals 1/4 pound). 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

Care and Cleaning of Your Microwave Oven
How to Clean the Outside
We recommend against the use of spray
cleaners and using cleaners with ammonia or
alcohol, as they can damage the appearance
of the microwave oven. If you choose to use a
common household cleaner, first apply the cleaner
directly to a clean cloth, then wipe the soiled area.
Case
Clean the outside of the microwave with a sudsy
cloth. Rinse and then dry. Wipe the window clean
with a damp cloth.
Door Panel
Before cleaning the front door panel, make sure
you know what type of panel you have. Refer
to the eighth digit of the model number. “S” is
stainless steel “B”, “W” or “C” are plastic colors.
Stainless Steel (on some models)
The stainless steel panel can be cleaned with
Stainless Steel Magic or a similar product using a
clean, soft cloth. Apply stainless cleaner carefully
to avoid the surrounding plastic parts. Do not
use appliance wax, polish, bleach or products
containing chlorine on Stainless Steel finishes.
Plastic Color Panels
Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth, then dry
thoroughly.
Door Seal
It’s important to keep the area clean where the
door seals against the microwave. Use only mild,
non-abrasive detergents applied with a clean
sponge or soft cloth. Rinse well.
Bottom
Clean off the grease and dust on the bottom
often. Use a solution of warm water and
detergent.

Care and Cleaning of Your Microwave Oven (continued)
About the exhaust feature
The vent fan has two metal reusable vent filters.
Models that recirculate air back into the room
also use a charcoal filter.
Grease Filters
The metal filters trap grease released by foods
on the cooktop. They also prevent flames from
foods on the cooktop from damaging the inside
of the oven.
For this reason, the filters must always be in
place when the hood is used. The vent filters
should be cleaned once a month, or as needed.
Reusable vent filters

Care and Cleaning of Your Microwave Oven (continued)
Removing and Cleaning the Filters
To remove, slide them to the rear using the tabs.
Pull down and out.
To clean the vent filters, soak them and then
swish around in hot water and detergent. Don’t
use ammonia or ammonia products because
they will darken the metal. Light brushing can be
used to remove embedded dirt.
Rinse, shake and let dry before replacing.
To replace, slide the filters into the frame slots
on the back of each opening. Press up and to the
front to lock into place.
Charcoal Filter
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must
be replaced.
If the model is not vented to the outside, the air
will be recirculated through a disposable charcoal
filter that helps remove smoke and odors.
The charcoal filter should be replaced when it is
noticeably dirty or discolored (usually after 6 to 12
months, depending on usage).
To Remove the Charcoal Filter
To remove the charcoal filter, first disconnect
power at the main fuse or circuit breaker, or
pull the plug. Remove the the two screws that
hold the charcoal filter in place, as shown.
Once the screws are removed the charcoal
filter can be taken out.
Take out the charcoal filter
Remove 2 screws to take the charcoal filter out
