ARCING
If you see arcing, press CLEAR/OFFand correct the problem.
Arcing is tile inicrowa;'e tetin fl)r sparks in tile ()veil.
Arcing is caused by:
• Metal or fifil touching the side of the oven.
• Foil not molded to fi)od (upturned edges act
like antennas).
• Metal, such as twist-ties, poultty pins or gold-
rimmed dishes, in the microwave.

Operating tile microwave with no fi)od inside fin,
tl/ot'e than a tllitlHte oF tWO tllay cause damage to

WARNING!
MICROWAVE-SAFECOOKWARE
Make sure to use suitable cookware during
iilicro_zlve cooking. Most glass casseroles, cooking
dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, potmry or
china dinnerware which does not have metallic trim
or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some
cookware is labeled "suitable tot microwaving."
• Place food or microwavable container directly
on tile glass turntable to cook w)m" food.
• Use of tile black metal tray during microwave
cooking will result in inferior cooking
perlimnance.
• If you are not sure it a dish is microwave-sate,
use this test: Place in the oven both the dish you
are testing and a glass measuring cup filled with
1 cup of water--set tile measuring cup either in
or next to the dish. Microwave 30-45 seconds
at high. If the dish heats, it should not be used
for microwaving.
If the dish remains cool and only the water in
the cup heats, then the dish is microwave-sate.
• Ifw)u use a meat them_omemr while cooking,
IIlake S/lI'e it is sate tor rise in ii/ici'owave ovens.
• Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap
can be used to cover dishes in order to retain
moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to
vent plastic wrap so steam can escape.
• Cookware may become hot because of heat
transferred fl'om tile heamd food. Pot holde_
may be needed m handle tile cookware.
"Boilable" cooking pouches and tightly closed
plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as
directed by package. If they are not, plastic could
bm_t dm_ing or immediately after cooking,
possibly resulting in injui T. A]so, plastic storage

may be microwaved in tbil trays less than 3/4"
high; remove tile top foil cover and return tile
troy to tile box. \4lien using foil in tile microwave
oven, kee I) tile foil at least 1" away from tile sides
of tile oven.
• Do not use recycled paper products. Recycled
paper towels, napkins and waxed paper can
contain metal flecEs which may cause ardng
or ignim. Paper products containing nylon
or IMon filaments should be avoided, as they
may also ignim.
• Some st),rof0am trays (like those that meat
is packaged on) have a thin strip of metal
embedded in tile bottom. \._]/en microwaved,
tile metal can burn tile floor of tile oven or

Do not cover the black metal tray with metal toil.
This will cause arcing in the oven.
Any non-metal, oven-sate dish can be used when
browning or grilling in the o'_en. •
The oven and door will get hot when browning

-- Use pot holdet_ or oven mitts when handling
the rack. It may be hot.
-- Be sm'e that the rack is positioned i)roperly
inside the oven to prevent product damage.
-- Do not cover the rack or any part of the oven

GROUNDINGINSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:I ro eruseof the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
This appliance inust be grotmded. In the event of
an electrical short circuit, grotmding reduces the
risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire
forthe electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a power cord
having a grotmding wire with a grotmding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
i)roperly installed and grotmded.
Consult a qualified electrician or se_Mce technician
if the grotmding instructions are not completely
tmdetstood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grotmded.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet,
it is yore" personal responsibili_, and obligation
to have it replaced with a propedy grotmded
3-prong wall outlet.
Do not under _liiV cii'c/li//st_lnces cut oi" i'elllOVe
the third (grotmd) prong fl'om the power cord.
We do not recommend using an extension cord
with this appliance. If the power cord is too short,
have a qualified electrician or service technidan
install an outlet near the appliance.
(See EXTENSION CORDS section.)
For best operation, plug this appliance into its
own electrical outlet to prevent flickering (ff lights,
blowing of fllse or tripping of circuit breaker.

,i__ADAPTERPLUGS
Usage situations where appliance's power cord will be disconnected infrequently.
Because of potential sali_t}' ha/m'ds under certain conditions,
we stronglyrecommend against the use ofan adapter plug. Howevex;
if you still elect to use an adapter, where local codes permit, a
TEMPORARY CONNECTIONmay be inade to a propedy grounded
2-prong wall receptacle by the tlse of a UI, listed adapter which
is a\;filable at most local hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot
in the wall receptacle to pro_ide proper polari b in the connection
of the power cord.

METHOD beforeuse.
^_CAUTION:A_achingtheadaptergroundterminaltothewallreceptaclecoverscrewdoesnotground
the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the
house wiring.
You should have the drcuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly
grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord ti'om the adaptor; alwa):s hold the adapter with one hand. If this
is not done, the adapter ground terminal is ve_, ' likely to break with repeated use. Should this hal_pen,
DO NOT USEthe appliance until a proper ground has again been established.
Usage situations where appliance's power cord will be disconnected frequently.
Do not usean adapter plug in these situations because ti'equent disconnection of the power cord places
m_due strain on the adapter and leads to eventual fifilm'e of the adapter ground temfinal. You should have
the 2-prong wall receptacle replaced with a 3-prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician
befin'e using the appliance.
EXTENSIONCORDS
A short power SUl)ply cord is provided to reduce the _isks resulting ti'om becoming ent;mgled in or t_ipping
over a longer cord.
Extension cords may be used if you are carelifl in using them.
If an extension cord is used--
Ir_The marked electrical rating of the e×tension cord shotfld be at least asgreat asthe electrical radng
of the appliance;
_'_ The extension cord must be a grotmding-t)]_e 3-wire cord and it must be _luo-o-ed into a 3-slot outlet;
_The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape o_er the countertop or tabletop where

Variable power levels add flexibility to
microwave cooking. The power levels on
tile ii/icrowave oven can be COlili)ai'ed
to the sm'ti_ce milts on a range. Each
power level gives you microwave energy' a
certain percent ot the time. Power level 7
is microwave energy 70% of the time,
Power level 3 is energy' 30% of the time,
Most cooking will be done on High(power
level 10)which gives you 100% powex:
Power level IOMll cook tipster but food may
need more fl'equent stirring, _xm_fing or
turning ove_; A lower setting will cook more
evenly and need less stirring or rotating ot
the food. Some foods may have better
fla\'o_; textm'e or appearance if one of tile
lower settings is used, Use a lower power
level when cooking toods that have a
tendency to boil over, such as scalloped
potatoes.
[lest periods (when tile microwave energy'
cycles off) give time fin" the toed to
"equalize" or transter heat to the inside
of the food. An example of this is shown

Microwave terms.
Term
Arcing
Covering
Shielding
Standingtime
Venting
Definition
Arcing is the inicrowave telin fl)r sparLs in the oven. Arcing is caused by:
• metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
• fifil that is not molded to fl_od (upturned edges act like antennas).
• metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes.
• recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.
Covei_ hold in moisture, allow fin" more even heating and reduce cooking time. Venting plastic wrap or
covering with wax paper allo_vs excess steam to escape.
In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked toods to prevent ove_q)rowning. _._]_en microwaving,
w)u use small strips of foil to shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs on poultry, which would
cook befln'e larger parts.
When you cook with regular ovens, fi)ods such as roasts or cakes are allowed to stand to finish cooking or
to set. Standing time is especially important in microwave cooking. Note that a microwaved cake is not
placed on a cooling rack.
_MteI"covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner so excess
stealI/ C_III escape.
