The cord for this appliance has a grounding wire with a grounding plug. Put the plug into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING If you use the - grouning plug improperly, you risk electric shock.

Ask a qualified electrician if you do not understand the grounding instructions or if you wonder whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Because this appliance fits under the cabinet, it has a short power-supply cord. See the separate Installation Instructions for directions on properly placing the cord. Keep the electrical power cord dry and do not pinch or crush it in any way

If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

For a permanently connected appliance: This appliance must be connected to a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor should be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.

This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking and introduces you to the basics you need to know to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information before use.

AUDIBLE SIGNALS

Audible signals are available to guide you when setting and using your oven:

• A programming tone will sound each time you touch a pad.

• Four tones signal the end of a cooking cycle.

CLOCK

When your microwave oven is first plugged in or after a power failure, the Display will show “:”. If a time of day is not set, “:” will show on the Display until you touch “Clock”.

Example: To set the clock for 10:30(AM or PM).

NOTES:

• If you enter in an incorrect time and touch “Clock”, you cannot set time of day. Enter the correct time.

• If you touch STOP Clear while setting the clock, the Display will show the last time of day set or “:” if no time of day has been set.

INTERRUPTING COOKING

You can stop the oven during a cycle by opening the door. The oven stops heating and the fan stops, but the light stays on.

To restart cooking, close the door and Touch START.

If you do not want to continue cooking, open the door and touch STOP&OHDU.

CHILD LOCK

Use this safety feature to lock the control panel when you are cleaning the oven, or so that children cannot use the oven unsupervised.

To set CHILD LOCK:

To cancel CHILD LOCK:

VENT HI/LOW/OFF

The Vent moves steam and other vapors from the surface cooking.

Touch Vent once for High fan speed, twice for Low fan speed, or a three times to turn the fan off.

Turn off fan when desired

NOTE:

If the temperature from the range or cooktop below the oven gets too hot, the exhaust fan in the vent hood will automatically turn on at the HIGH setting to protect the oven.

It may stay on up to an hour to cool the oven. When this occurs, the vent pad will not turn the fan off. You cannot turn the exhaust fan off during microwave cooking.

COOKTOP LIGHT

The pad on the bottom left of the control panel controls the cooktop light.

Example: To set the Lamp for ON.

TIME DEFROST

Using Time Defrost can defrost for a selected length of time.

Example: To set Time Defrost for 2 minutes.

At the end of the Time defrost four tones will sound.

TIMED COOKING

This feature lets you program a specific cook time and power. For best results, there are 10 power level settings in addition to HIGH (100%) power . Refer to the “Microwave Power Levels Table” on page for more information.

NOTE: If you do not select a power level, the oven will automatically cook at HIGH (100%) power.

Example: To cook for 5 minutes, 30 seconds at 80% power.

MULTI-STAGE COOKING

For best results, some recipes call for different cook powers during different stages of a cook cycle. You can program your oven to switch from one power level to another for up to 2 stages.

Example: To set a 2-stage cook cycle

ENERGY SAVING

Energy Saving feature saves energy by turning off the display by touching the Energy Saving Button. The display will automatically turn off after 5 minutes of idleness if the clock has not been set.

If the clock has been set, then the display will not automatically turn off.

MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS

For best results, some recipes call for different cook powers. The lower the cook power, the slower the cooking. Each number from 1 to 9 stands for a different percentage of full cook power.

The following chart gives the percentage of cook power each number pad stands for, and the cook power name usually used.

It also tells you when to use each cook power. Follow recipe or food package instructions if available.

NOTE: Refer to a reliable cookbook for cooking times based on the 1000 Watt cook power of your microwave oven.

NOTE: Once cook time has been entered, you can also use the Power Level pad as a second Kitchen Timer by entering “0” for the Cook Power. The oven will count down the cooking time you set without cooking.

AUTO DEFROST

Four defrost sequences are preset in the oven. The auto defrost feature provides you with the best defrosting method for frozen foods. The cooking guide will show you which defrost sequence is recommended for the food you are defrosting.

For added convenience, the Auto Defrost includes a built-in beep mechanism that reminds you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange to get best defrost results. Four different defrosting levels are provided.

2 POULTRY

3 FISH

4 BREAD

*First three available weight is 0.1~6.0 lbs.

The last available weight is 0.1-1.0 lbs.

Example: To defrost 1.2 lbs of ground beef.

MAINTENANCE

CARE AND CLEANING

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

Never use abrasive powder or pads. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out, including the hood bottom cover, with a soft cloth and a warm (not hot) mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry.

Use a chrome cleaner and polish on chrome, metal and aluminum surfaces. Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or bacon. Clean your oven weekly or more often, if needed.

FAQS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q. Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my microwave oven?

A. Usable metal includes aluminum foil for shielding (use small, flat pieces), and shallow foil trays (if tray is 3/4 inch deep and filled with food to absorb microwave energy). Never allow metal to touch walls or door.

Q. Sometimes the door of my microwave oven appears wavy. Is this normal?

A. This appearance is normal and does not affect the operation of your oven.

Q. What are the humming noises that I hear when my microwave oven is operating?

A. You hear the sound of the transformer when the magnetron tube cycles on and off.

Q. Why does the dish become hot when I microwave food in it? I thought that this should not happen.

A. As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to the dish. Use hot pads to remove food after cooking.

Q. What does “standing time” mean?

A. ”Standing time” means that food should be taken out of the oven and covered for additional time after cooking. This process allows the cooking to finish, saves energy and frees the oven for other purposes.

Q. Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven? How do I get the best results?

A. Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufacturer’s guidelines or use the preprogrammed Popcorn button.

Do not use regular paper bags. Use the “listening test” by stopping the oven as soon as the popping slows to a “pop” every one or two seconds. Do not try to repop unpopped kernels. You can also use special microwave poppers. When using a popper, be sure to follow manufacturer’s directions. Do not pop popcorn in glass utensils.

Q. Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?

A. Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam out the top vent.
