MICROWAVE OVEN SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or

“WARNING.” These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

■

Read all instructions before using the microwave oven.

■

Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO

AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE

MICROWAVE ENERGY” found in this section.

■

The microwave oven must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING

INSTRUCTIONS” found in this section.

■

Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn off the pad and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric shock.

■

Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer's recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.

■

Do not operate the microwave oven if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.

■

Do not deep fry in oven. Microwavable utensils are not suitable and it is difficult to maintain appropriate deep frying temperatures.

■

Install or locate the microwave oven only in accordance with the provided Installation Instructions.

■

Some products such as whole eggs in the shell and sealed containers – for example, closed glass jars – may explode and should not be heated in the microwave oven.

■

Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in the microwave oven. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.

■

Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not be inserted in the microwave oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.

■

Do not use paper products when appliance is operated in the "PAN BROWN" mode.

■

Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.

■

As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.

■

The microwave oven should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact nearest authorized service company for examination, repair, or adjustment.

■

Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave oven.

■

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. 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 THE

CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR

OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

■

■

■

Do not store the microwave oven outdoors. Do not use this product near water - for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.

See door surface cleaning instructions in the “Oven

Care” section.

To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

–

Do not overheat the liquid.

–

Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

–

Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

– Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the

microwave oven if paper, plastic, or other

combustible materials are placed inside the oven

to facilitate cooking.

– Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags

before placing bags in oven.

–

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

–

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

– If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep

oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the

power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit

breaker panel.

– Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not

leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in

the cavity when not in use.


PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO

EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

(a)

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 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)

(2)

(3)

Door (bent),

Hinges and latches (broken or loosened),

Door seals and sealing surfaces.

(d)

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

Electrical Requirements

The microwave oven is connected to a 110-volt side of the

240-volt circuit required for the lower oven. If the incoming voltage to the microwave oven is less than 110 volts cooking times may be longer. Have a qualified electrician check your electrical system.

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.

WARNING:

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the microwave oven is properly grounded.

Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the microwave oven.

■

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 device complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules.

Grids

Grids will become hot. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling.

Do not allow the grids to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling or floor.

Always use the turntable.

Do not store the grids in the oven. Damage to the oven could result if someone accidentally turns on the microwave oven.

Do not use another metal object with the grids.

Two-level cooking is not recommended.

Do not place popcorn bags on the grids.

The grids are designed specifically for this oven. Do not attempt to use any other grid or rack in this oven.

See “Assistance or Service” section to reorder.

Broiling Grid (long legs)

The crisper pan is ideal for rapidly browning and crisping the bottom of the food, such as cookies and pizza.

The material coating the bottom absorbs microwaves and transfers the heat to the pan and food. The crisper pan reaches

436°F (210°C) in approximately 3 minutes, at which time it stops absorbing microwaves and holds this optimal frying temperature.

■

The crisper pan will become hot. Always use the handle and oven mitts or pot holders when handling. Place gripping end on the edge of pan, squeeze handle, and lift pan.

■

■

Do not allow the crisper pan or handle to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling or floor.


■

■

■

■

Do not use another metal object with the crisper pan.

The crisper pan is designed specifically for this oven. Do not use it in any other oven.

Use only wooden or plastic cooking utensils to help prevent scratches.


The broiling grid places food close to the broil element, making it ideal for fast browning of small amounts of food. Use for broiling only.

Convection Grid (short legs)

The convection grid provides optimal heat circulation for high speed cooking and convection cooking.

■

■

■

■

■

■

■

■

A magnetron in the oven produces microwaves which reflect off the metal floor, walls and ceiling and pass through the turntable and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are attracted to and absorbed by fat, sugar and water molecules in the food, causing them to move, producing friction and heat which cooks the food.

■

Do not lean on or allow children to swing on the oven door.

■

MICROWAVE OVEN USE

Do not operate microwave oven when it is empty.

Starting Temperature

Room temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated foods, and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods.

Composition and Density

Foods high in fat and sugar will reach a higher temperature and heat faster than other foods. Heavy, dense foods, such as meat and potatoes, require a longer cook time than the same size of a light, porous food, such as cake.

The turntable must be in place and correct side up when oven is in use. Do not use if turntable is chipped or broken.


Cooking Guidelines

Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in microwave oven.

Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including brown paper bags and newspaper should not be dried in microwave oven.

Do not use the microwave oven for canning, sterilizing or deep frying. The oven cannot maintain appropriate temperatures.

Paraffin wax will not melt in the oven because it does not absorb microwaves.

Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from microwave oven.

Covering

Covering food helps retain moisture, shorten cook time and reduce spattering. Use the lid supplied with cookware. If a lid is not available, wax paper, paper towels or plastic wrap approved for microwave ovens may be used. Plastic wrap should be turned back at one corner to provide an opening to vent steam.

Condensation on the door and cavity surfaces is normal during heavy cooking.

Stirring and Turning

Stirring and turning redistributes heat evenly to avoid overcooking the outer edges of food. Stir from outside to center.

If possible, turn food over from bottom to top.

Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended cook time, potatoes should be slightly firm. Let potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.

Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time.

Arranging

If heating irregularly shaped or different sized foods, the thinner parts and smaller sizes should be arranged toward the center. If cooking several items of the same size and shape, place them in a ring pattern, leaving the center of the ring empty.

Food Characteristics

When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting temperature, composition and density of the food affect cooking results.

Piercing

Before heating, use a fork or small knife to pierce or prick foods that have a skin or membrane, such as potatoes, egg yolks, chicken livers, hot dogs, and sausage. Prick in several places to allow steam to vent.

Amount of Food

The more food heated at once, the longer the cook time. Check for doneness and add small increments of time if necessary.

Shielding

Use small, flat pieces of aluminum foil to shield the thin pieces of irregularly shaped foods, bones and foods such as chicken wings, leg tips and fish tail. See “Aluminum Foil and Metal” first.

Size and Shape

Smaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger pieces, and uniformly shaped foods cook more evenly than irregularly shaped food.

Standing Time

Food will continue to cook by the natural conduction of heat even after the microwave cycle ends. The length of standing time depends on the volume and density of the food.

14

Cookware and Dinnerware

Cookware and dinnerware must fit on the turntable. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling because any dish may become hot from heat transferred from the food. Do not use cookware and dinnerware with gold or silver trim. Use the following chart as a guide, then test before using.

MATERIAL

To Test Cookware or Dinnerware for Microwave Use:

1. Put cookware or dinnerware in oven with 1 cup (250 mL) of water beside it.

2. Cook at 100% cooking power for 1 minute.

Do not use cookware or dinnerware if it becomes hot and the water stays cool.

Aluminum Foil and Metal

Always use oven mitts or pot holders when removing dishes from the microwave oven.

Aluminum foil and some metal can be used in the oven. If not used properly, arcing (a blue flash of light) can occur and cause damage to the oven.

OK for Use

Racks and bakeware supplied with the oven (on some models), aluminum foil for shielding, and approved meat thermometers may be used with the following guidelines:

■

Do not allow aluminum foil or metal to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling or floor.

■


■

Do not allow contact with another metal object during cooking.

Do Not Use

Metal cookware and bakeware, gold, silver, pewter, nonapproved meat thermometers, skewers, twist ties, foil liners such as sandwich wrappers, staples and objects with gold or silver trim or a metallic glaze should not be used in the oven.

D. Convection grid

Convection cooking uses the convection element (on some models) and the fan. Hot air is circulated throughout the oven cavity by the fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the food to heat the outer portion quickly.

The convect function may be used to cook small amounts of food on a single rack.

■

Always use the convection grid.

■

■

Do not cover turntable or convection grid with aluminum foil.

Do not use light plastic containers, plastic wrap or paper products. All heatproof cookware or metal utensils can be used in convection cooking, but metal utensils cannot be used in microwave cooking. Round pizza pans are excellent for convection cooking.

■

■

■

Use convection cooking for items such as souffles, breads, cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and most meats and fish.

No special techniques are needed to adapt standard oven recipes to convection cooking, although some temperatures might need to be reduced, and some cooking times might need to be shortened.

This oven may be preheated in the same way that standard oven is preheated. (Most recipes for baked goods call for preheating.)

To Convect Cook with Preheat:

1. Position convection grid on turntable in microwave oven and close the door.

2. Touch CONVECT QUICK PREHEAT twice.

“PREHEAT” will appear in the upper oven display.

Touch the number pads to set a temperature other than

325°F (162°C). The cook temperature setting may be changed as desired from 170°F to 450°F (77°C to 232°C).

Celsius temperatures below 100°C must have a “0” at the beginning of their entries. For example, 77°C must be entered as 0-7-7.

3. Touch START.

The upper oven display will show the “TIME” prompt.

4. Touch number pads to enter length of time to cook, in hours and minutes, up to 4 hours.
