GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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 cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug.

The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

4

WARNING - Improper use of the grounding 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 appliance is properly grounded.

If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a

3-blade grounded plug, and 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.

DANGER -

2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

3. If a long cord or extension cord is used:

1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

2) The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

Using the Rack

The rack allows several foods to be cooked or reheated at one time. However, for the best cooking and reheating, use

Turntable ON function and cook with SENSOR COOKING or

AUTO COOKING without the rack. When the rack is used, set time and power level manually. Allow plenty of space around and between the dishes. Pay close attention to the cooking and reheating progress. Reposition the foods and reverse them from the rack to turntable and/or stir them at least once during any cooking or reheating time. After cooking or reheating, stir if possible. Using a lower power level will assist in better cooking and reheating uniformity.

Avoid:

• Storing the rack in the microwave oven when not in use.

• Popping popcorn with the rack in the microwave oven.

• Using any browning dish on the rack.

• Using SENSOR COOKING and AUTO COOKING with the rack.

• Cooking directly on the rack—use microwave-safe cookware.

NOTE

DO NOT STORE THE RACK IN THE

MICROWAVE WHEN NOT IN USE.

NOTE

Turntable on/off function can be used in Manual Operation.

See page 28.

Manual Defrost

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the

Defrost chart or is above or below the limits in the Amount column on the Defrost chart (see page 22-23), you need to defrost manually.

You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using power level for 30%.

For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is approximately 4 minutes per pound. For example, defrost 4 minutes for 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.

Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate the portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the end of the estimated defrosting time, program the oven in 1 minute increments on power level 30% until totally defrosted.

When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to place in a microwave-safe dish.

12

SENSOR COOKING

Sensor cooking has an electronic controlled sensor that detects the vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from the food as it heats. The sensor adjusts the cooking times and power level for various foods and quantities automatically.

Using Sensor Settings:

1. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.

2. The oven works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, popcorn would be at room temperature.

3. More or less food than the quantity listed in the chart should be cooked following the guidelines in any microwave cookbook.

4. During the first part of SENSOR COOKING, food name will appear in the display. Do not open the oven door or press the STOP clear pad during this part of the cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted.

When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of cooking time will appear. Door may be opened when remaining cooking time appears in the display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as desired.

5. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when popping popcorn, the oven will turn off, and the correct time of day will be displayed. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when cooking other foods, AN ERROR

CODE will be displayed, and the oven will turn off.

6. Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, continue to cook manually.

Covering Foods:

Some foods cook better when covered.

1. Casserole lid.

2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow approximately 1 / 2 inch to remain uncovered to allow steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not touch food.

3. Wax paper: Cover dish completely; fold excess wrap under dish to secure. If dish is wider than paper, overlap two pieces at least one inch to cover.

Be careful when removing any covering to allow steam to escape away from you.

NOTES for SENSOR COOKING

1. The fi nal cooking result will vary according to the food condition (e.g. initial temperature, shape, quality). Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, continue to cook manually.

2. Stay near the oven while it’s in use and check cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food.

3. When SENSOR COOKING is selected Turntable

On is automatically set for optimum cooking.

Sensor Cook

You can cook foods by pressing the sensor cook pad multiple times. You don’t need to calculate cooking time or power level.

AUTO DEFROST

Using Auto Defrost

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 the food in order to get the best defrost results. Three different defrosting levels are provided:

1. MEAT

2. POULTRY

3. FISH

Available weight is 0.1-6.0 lbs

• Suppose you want to defrost 1.2 lbs of fish.

Operating Tips v

For best results, remove fish, shell fish, meat and

poultry from its original closed paper or plastic

package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will hold

steam and juice close to the foods, which can

cause the outer surface of the foods to cook.

v

For best results, roll your ground meat into a ball

before freezing. During the DEFROST cycle, the

microwave will signal when it is time to turn the

meat over. Scrape off any excess frost from

the meat and continue defrosting.

v

Place foods in a shallow container or on a

microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.

This table shows food type selections and the weights you can set for each type. For best results, loosen or remove covering on food.

Weight conversion table

You are probably used to measuring food in pounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for example, 4 ounces equals 1/4 pound). However, in order to enter food weight in Auto Defrost, you must specify pounds and tenths of a pound.

If the weight on the food package is in fractions of a pound, you can use the following table to convert the weight to decimals.

AUTO DEFROST

Defrosting Tips v

When using Auto Defrost, the weight to be entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds (the weight of the food minus the container).

v twist-ties that often come with frozen food bags, and replace them with strings or elastic bands.

Open containers, such as cartons, before placing in the v

The length of defrosting time varies according to how solidly the food is frozen.

v

The shape of the package affects how quickly food will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than a deep block.

v

As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces.

Separated pieces defrost more easily.

v Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging.

v

If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place food in a suitable container.

v

Slit the skin of skinned food, such as sausage.

v Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails, or areas that start to get warm. Make sure the foil does not touch the sides, top, or bottom of the oven. The foil can damage the oven lining.

v Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even defrosting.

v

Always underestimate defrosting time. If defrosted food is still icy in the center, return it to the microwave oven for more defrosting.

v For better results, let food stand after defrosting. v

Turn over food during defrosting or standing time.

Break apart and remove food as required.
