Grounding

Instructions

Adapter Plugs

WARNING

To avoid risk of electrical shock or death, this oven must be grounded and plug must not be altered.

Arcing

CAUTION

Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring.

120V.

Oven MUST be grounded.

Grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current if an electrical short occurs. This 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. 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, 110-

If you see arcing, press STOP and correct the problem.

Arcing is the term for sparks in your microwave oven. Arcing is caused by:

Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be disconnected infrequently:

Because of potential safety hazards, we strongly

recommend against the use of an adapter plug. If you still choose to use an adapter (where local codes permit), a

temporary connection can be made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall receptacle using a UL listed adapter, available at most hardware stores.

Have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand. Otherwise, the adapter ground terminal may break with repeated use.

Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been established.

Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be disconnected frequently:

Do not use an adapter plug in these situations. Frequent disconnection of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. Have a qualified electrician replace the 2-prong wall receptacle with a 3-prong (grounding) receptacle before using the appliance.

Precautions to Avoid

Possible Exposure to

Excessive Microwave

Energy

Adhere to the following precautions: y DO NOT attempt to operate this oven with the 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 interlock switches.

y DO NOT place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

y DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage.

y 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:

1. door (bent),

2. hinges and latches (broken or loosened),

3. door seals and sealing surfaces.

y

Oven should not be be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

WARNING

Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD

RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING

OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS

INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

1. Do not overheat the liquid.

2. Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

3. Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

4. After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.

5. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensils into the container.

Microwave utensil guide

Use Do not use

Oven proof glass (specifically treated for high intensity heat):

Utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and bowls without metallic trim.

 China:

Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters without metallic trim.

Plastic:

Plastic wrap (as a cover) - lay the plastic wrap loosely over the dish and press it to the sides. Vent plastic wrap by turning back one edge slightly to allow excess steam to escape. The dish should be deep enough so that the plastic wrap will not touch the food. Use plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer containers and plastic bags for short cooking times. Use these with care because the plastic may soften from the heat of the food.

 Paper:

Paper towels, waxed paper, paper napkins and paper plates with no metallic trim or design. Look for the manufacturer’s label for any special instructions for use in the microwave oven.

Metal utensils:

Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces uneven cooking. Also, avoid metal skewers, thermometers or foil trays. Metal utensils can cause arcing, which can damage your microwave oven.

 Metal decoration:

Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters without metallic trim.

Aluminum foil:

Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking and may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the side walls of the oven cavity and door of the microwave.

Wood:

Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when you use them in the microwave oven. Baskets made of wood will react in the same way.

Tightly covered utensils: e sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered cookware.

Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before cooking.

Tightly closed pouches may explode.

 Brown paper:

Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb heat and can burn.

Flawed or chipped cooking utensils:

Any utensil that is cracked, flawed or chipped may break in the oven.

Metal twist ties:

Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags. They become hot and could cause a fire.

CAUTION

Convection Cooking With

Preheating

Example: Use the Convection feature to cook food for

20 minutes at 325°F after preheating:

Using the Convection Feature

The convection cooking process uses a heating element to elevate the temperature of the air inside the oven. You may set any oven temperature from 250 o F to 450 o F.

A fan gently circulates the heated air throughout the oven, over and around the food. This cooking method produces golden brown exteriors and rich moist interiors.

Because the heated air is constantly moving, (not permitting cooler air to develop around the food), some foods cook faster than in regular oven cooking.

NOTE: Use the rack only when doing two-level baking.

Otherwise, place food or oven-safe dish directly on metal tray.

 Raise yeast dough

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 prebaked bread should be wrapped prior to placing in the microwave to help prevent the food items fro drying out while heating.

Microwave Terms

Term

Arcing

Definition

Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing Is caused by:

Ÿ The metal shelf being installed incorrectly and touching the microwave walls.

Ÿ The metal or foil touching the side of the oven.

Ÿ Foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).

Ÿ Metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes.

Ÿ Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.

Covering

Shielding

Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce cooking time. Venting plastic wrap or covering with waxed paper allows excess steam to escape.

In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to prevent over-browning. When micro waving, you use small strips of foil to shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs on poultry, which would cook before larger parts.

Standing Time When you cook with regular ovens, foods 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 microwave cake is not placed on a cooling rack.

Venting After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner so excess steam can escape.

24


Cooking vegetables in your microwave

Ÿ 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 ¼ cup of water.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ÿ 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.

Cooking seafood in your microwave

Place fish on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish. Be sure to always cook fish until it flakes easily with a fork. Use a tight cover to steam fish; a lighter cover of wax paper or paper towel provides less steaming. And be sure not to overcook fish; check it for doneness at a minimum cooking time before cooking longer.

Seafood Cook time/power level Directions

Fish steaks

Up to 1½ lbs.

Cook time: 7-11 min./lb.

Power level: med-high

(7)

Arrange fish on roasting rack with meaty portions towards the outside of rack.

Cover with wax paper. Turn over and rearrange halfway through cook time.

Cook until fish flakes easily with fork. Let stand 3-5 mins.

Fish fillets

Up to 1½ lbs.

Cook time: 4-8 min./lb.


(7)

Arrange fillets in a baking dish, turning any thin pieces under. Cover with wax paper. If over ½ inch thick, turn over and rearrange halfway through cook time. Cook until fish flakes easily with fork. Let stand 2-3 mins.

Shrimp

Up to 1½ lbs.

Cook time: 4-6½ min./lb.


(7)

Arrange shrimp in a baking dish without overlapping or layering. Cover with wax paper. Cook until firm and opaque, stirring 2 or 3 times. Let stand 5 mins.

25


Defrosting tips

Ÿ When using the defrost weight feature, the weight entered should always be (valid entries are from 4 to 100 ounces).

Ÿ 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.

Ÿ If the frozen food is stored outside the freezer for up to

20 minutes, enter a reduced cook time or weight.

Ÿ The shape of the package will alter the defrosting time.

Shallow rectangular food packets defrost more quickly than a deep frozen block of food.

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

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

Ÿ 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.

Care & Cleaning

Cleaning suggestions

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.

 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.

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 needed.

 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.

Follow these instructions to clean and care for your microwave oven:

 Keep the inside (cavity) of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids can stick to the oven walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently.

 Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp, clean cloth and mild soap.

DO NOT use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.

 To help loosen baked-on food particles or liquids, heat 2 cups of water (add the juice of 1 lemon if you desire to keep the oven fresh smelling) in a 4 cup measuring glass at High power for 5 minutes or until boiling. Let stand in oven cavity for 1 or 2 minutes.

 Remove the glass turntable tray from the oven when cleaning the oven cavity or tray. To prevent the glass turntable from breaking, handle with care and do not put it in water immediately after cooking. Wash the turntable tray in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher.

 Clean the outside surface of the microwave with soap and a clean damp cloth. Dry with a clean soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts of the oven, do not let water seep into any vents or openings.
