Safety

Important Safety Instructions, continued

• Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use near water – for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.

• Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food particles or spattered oils stuck to the oven walls or floor can cause paint damage and reduce the efficiency of the oven.

ROUNDING

I

NSTRUCTIONS

This appliance 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.

This appliance is equipped with a power 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 servicer if you do not understand the grounding instructions or if you are not sure if the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet neat the appliance.

WARNING

Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord under any circumstances.

THE VENT FAN

The fan will operate automatically under certain conditions (see page 17).Take care to prevent the starting and spreading of accidental cooking fires while the vent fan is in use.

• Clean the underside of the microwave often. Do not allow grease to build up on the microwave or the fan filters.

• In the event of a grease fire on the surface units below the microwave oven, smother a flaming pan on the surface unit by covering the pan completely with a lid, a cookie sheet or a flat tray.

• Use care when cleaning the vent fan filters. Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the filters.

• Do not prepare flaming foods under the microwave when the fan is operating.

• Never leave surface units beneath your microwave oven unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread if the microwave vent fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate sized cookware and use high heat on surface units only when necessary.

NOTE

Connect the oven only to a 20A or over dedicated circuit.

Cooking Instructions

Cooking Utensils

Recommended Use

Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes — Use for heating or cooking.

Microwavable browning dish — Use to brown the exterior of small items such as steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with your browning dish.

Microwavable plastic wrap — Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on the food.

Wax paper — Use as a cover to prevent spattering.

Paper towels and napkins — Use for short-term heating and covering; they absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and can catch fire.

Paper plates and cups — Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do not use recycled paper, which may contain metal and can catch fire.

Thermometers — Use only those labeled “Microwave Safe” and follow all directions. Check the food in several places. Conventional thermometers may be used once the food has been removed from the oven.

Not Recommended

Glass jars and bottles — Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave, and can shatter.

Paper bags — These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that are designed for microwave use.

Styrofoam plates and cups — These can melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food.

Plastic storage and food containers — Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the microwave.

Metal utensils — These can damage your oven. Remove all metal before cooking.

Testing Utensils

If you are not sure whether a dish is microwave-safe or not, you can perform this test:

1

Fill a 1 cup glass measuring cup with water and put it inside your oven, next to the dish you want to test.

Limited Use

Aluminum foil — Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Using too much foil can damage your oven, so be careful.

Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware — Use these if they are labeled “Microwave Safe”. If they are not labeled, test them to make sure they can be used safely. Never use dishes with metallic trim.

Plastic — Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe”. Other plastics can melt.

Straw, wicker, and wood — Use only for short-term heating, as they can be flammable.

2

Press the One Minute + button once to heat them for one minute at

High power.

The water should be warm and the dish you are testing should be cool. If the dish is warm, then it is absorbing microwave energy and is not acceptable for use in the microwave.

Cooking Instructions

Cooking Techniques

Stirring

Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and heats more quickly, so stir from the outside to the center. The oven will turn off when you open the door to stir your food.

Arrangement

Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with the thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable where they receive more microwave energy. To prevent overcooking, place thin or delicate parts toward the center of the turntable.

Shielding

Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking.

Areas that need shielding include poultry wing-tips, the ends of poultry legs, and corners of square baking dishes. Use only small amounts of aluminum foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven.

Turning

Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to microwave energy. This is especially important with large items such as roasts.

Standing

Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue to cook for a few minutes after the oven stops. Let foods stand to complete cooking, especially foods such as roasts and whole vegetables. Roasts need this time to complete cooking in the center without overcooking the outer areas. All liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken or stirred when cooking is complete. Let liquids stand a moment before serving. When heating baby food, stir well and test the temperature before serving.

Adding Moisture

Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture content should be covered or allowed to stand so that the heat disperses evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food to help it cook.

Venting

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

General Tips

• Dense foods, such as potatoes, take longer to heat than lighter foods. Foods with a delicate texture should be heated at a low power level to avoid becoming tough.

• Altitude and the type of cookware you are using can affect cooking time. When using a new recipe, use the minimum cooking time and check the food occasionally to prevent overcooking.

• Foods with a non-porous skin such as potatoes or hot dogs, should be pierced to prevent bursting.

• Frying with heating oil or fat is not recommended. Fat and oil can suddenly boil over and cause severe burns.

• Some ingredients heat faster than others. For example, the jelly inside a jelly doughnut will be hotter than the dough. Keep this in mind to avoid burns.

• Home canning in the microwave oven is not recommended because all harmful bacteria may not be destroyed by the microwave heating process.

• Although microwaves do not heat the cookware, the heat is from the food often transferred to the cookware. Always use pot holders when removing food from the microwave and instruct children to do the same.

• Making candy in the microwave is not recommended as candy can heat to very high temperatures. Keep this in mind to avoid injury.

Guide for Cooking Eggs in Your Microwave

• Never cook eggs in the shell, and never warm hard-cooked eggs in the shell; they can explode.

• Always pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting.

• Cook eggs just until set; they become tough if overcooked.

Guide for Cooking Vegetables in Your Microwave

• Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Often, no extra water is needed. If dense vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and green beans are being cooked, add about ¼ cup water.

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

• Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the turntable before cooking.

They will cook more evenly if turned over after half the cooking time.

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

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

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

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

• Generally, the denser the food, the longer the standing time.

(Standing time refers to the time necessary for dense, large foods and vegetables to finish cooking after they come out of the oven.)

A baked potato can stand on the counter for five minutes before cooking is completed, while a dish of peas can be served immediately.

After each stage, remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered with foil, for 5–10 minutes.

Remove giblets before freezing poultry.

Start defrosting with the breast side down. After the first stage, turn the chicken over and shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. After the second stage, again shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. Let stand, covered, for

30–60 minutes in the refrigerator.

After each stage, rearrange or remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand for 10-20 minutes.

Notes:

Check foods when the oven signals. After the final stage, small sections may still be icy; let them stand to continue thawing. Do not defrost until all ice crystals have thawed. Shielding roasts and steaks with small pieces of foil prevents the edges from cooking before the center of the food has defrosted. Use narrow, flat, smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover the edges and thinner sections of the food.

Troubleshooting Guide

Before you call a repair person for your oven, check this list of possible problems and solutions.

Neither the oven’s display nor the oven operate.

• Properly insert the plug into a grounded outlet.

• If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch, make sure the wall switch is turned on.

• Remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten seconds, then plug it in again.

• Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuse.

• Plug another appliance into the outlet; if the other appliance doesn’t work, have a qualified electrician repair the outlet.

• Plug the oven into a different outlet.

The oven’s display works, but the power won’t come on.

• Make sure the door is closed securely.

• Check to see if packing material or other material is stuck to the door seal.

• Check for door damage.

• Press Cancel twice and re-enter all cooking instructions.

The power goes off before the set time has elapsed.

• If there has not been a power outage, remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten seconds, then plug it in again. If there was a power outage, the time indicator will display “ ENJOY YOUR COOKING - - -

PRESS MY CHOICE FOR PERSONAL OPTIONS” Reset the clock and any cooking instructions.

• Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuse.

The food is cooking too slowly.

• Make sure the oven is on its own 20 amp circuit line. Operating another appliance on the same circuit can cause a voltage drop. If necessary, move the oven to its own circuit.

You see sparks or arcing.

• Remove any metallic utensils, cookware, or metal ties. If using foil, use only narrow strips and allow at least one inch between the foil and interior oven walls.

The turntable makes noises or sticks.

• Clean the turntable, roller ring and oven floor.

• Make sure the turntable and roller ring are positioned correctly.

Using your microwave causes TV or radio interference.

• This is similar to the interference caused by other small appliances, such as hair dryers. Move your microwave further away from other appliances, like your TV or radio.

Care and Cleaning

Follow these instructions to clean and care for your oven.

• Keep the inside 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 cloth and mild soap. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.

• To help loosen baked on food particles or liquids, heat two cups of water (add the juice of one lemon if you desire to keep the oven fresh) in a four-cup measuring glass at High power for five minutes or until boiling. Let stand in the oven for one or two minutes.

• Remove the glass tray from the oven when cleaning the oven or tray.

To prevent the tray from breaking, handle it carefully and do not put it in water immediately after cooking. Wash the tray carefully in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher.

• Clean the outside surface of the oven with soap and a damp cloth.

Dry with a soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts of the oven, don’t let water seep into the openings.

• Wash the door window with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft 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.

• Never operate the oven without food in it; this can damage the magnetron tube or glass tray. You may wish to leave a cup of water in the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is accidentally turned on.

Exhaust Feature

The Vent Fan

The exhaust fan has 2 metal reusable grease filter.

A charcoal filter can be used for removing smoke and odors in case the fan is not vented outside.

Reusable 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 microwave.

For this reason, the filters must ALWAYS be in place when the vent fan is used. The grease filters should be cleaned once a month, or as needed.

Removing and Cleaning the Filters

To remove, slide it to the left using the tab. Pull it down and out.

To clean the grease filters, soak and then swish them 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 them dry before replacing.

To replace, slide the filters in the frame slot on the left of the opening.

Pull up and to the right to lock into place.

Charcoal Filter

The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be replaced.

If the oven is installed on the wall(or cabinet) and 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 hood usage).

Removing Charcoal Filter

To remove the charcoal filter, disconnect power at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel or pull the plug.

Remove the top grille by removing the 2 screws that hold it in place.

Slide the filter towards the front of the oven and remove it.
