PRODUCT USE

A magnetron in the microwave 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.

To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not lean on or allow children to swing on the microwave oven door.
To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not operate microwave oven when it is empty.
The turntable must be in place and correct side up when microwave oven is in use. Do not use if turntable is chipped or broken. See the "Accessories" section to reorder.
Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in microwave oven.
Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, and paper, including brown paper bags and newspaper, should not be dried in the microwave oven.
Paraffin wax will not melt in the microwave oven because it does not absorb microwaves.
Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from microwave oven.
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.

Food Characteristics

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

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

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.

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 will 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.

Cooking Guidelines

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.

Arranging
If heating irregularly shaped or different-sized foods, arrange the thinner parts and smaller-sized items 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.

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.

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 tails. See the "Aluminum Foil and Metal" section first.

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

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	Recommendations
Aluminum Foil, Metal	See the "Aluminum Foil and Metal" section.
Browning Dish	Bottom must be at least 3/16" (5 mm) above the turntable. Follow manufacturer's recommendations.
Ceramic Glass, Glass	Acceptable for use.
China, Earthenware	Follow manufacturer's recommendations.
Melamine	Follow manufacturer's recommendations.
Paper: Towels, Dinnerware, Napkins	Use non-recycled and those approved by the manufacturer for microwave oven use.
Plastic: Wraps, Bags, Covers, Dinnerware, Containers	Use those approved by the manufacturer for microwave oven use.
Pottery and Clay	Follow manufacturer's recommendations.
Silicone Bakeware	Follow manufacturer's recommendations.
Straw, Wicker, Wooden Containers	Do not use in microwave oven.
Styrofoam	Do not use in microwave oven.
Wax Paper	Acceptable for use.

To Test Cookware or Dinnerware for Microwave Use:

Place cookware or dinnerware in microwave oven with 1 cup (250 mL) of water beside it.
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 microwave oven. If not used properly, arcing (a blue flash of light) can occur and cause damage to the microwave oven.

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

To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow aluminum foil or metal to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling, or floor.
Always use the turntable.
To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow contact with another metal object during microwave cooking.

Do Not Use
Metal cookware and bakeware, gold, silver, pewter, non-approved 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 microwave oven.
Metal bakeware may be used only during convection (bake) cycles. Use ovenproof, microwave-safe cookware for all other convection and combination.

Microwave Cooking Power

Many recipes for microwave cooking specify which cooking power to use by percent, name, or number. For example, 70%=Medium-High=7.

Use the following chart as a general guide for the suggested cooking power of specific foods.

MICROWAVE COOKING POWER CHART
Percent/ Name	Number	Use
100%, High (default setting)	10	Quick-heating convenience foods and foods with high water content, such as soups, beverages, and most vegetables.
90%	9	Cooking small, tender pieces of meat, ground meat, poultry pieces, and fish fillets. Heating cream soups.
80%	8	Heating rice, pasta, or casseroles. Cooking and heating foods that need a cook power lower than high, for example, whole fish and meat loaf.
70%, Medium- High	7	Reheating a single serving of food.
60%	6	Cooking sensitive foods such as cheese and egg dishes, pudding, and custards. Cooking non-stirrable casseroles, such as lasagna.
50%, Medium	5	Cooking ham, whole poultry, and pot roasts. Simmering stews.
40%	4	Melting chocolate. Heating bread, rolls, and pastries.
30%, Medium- Low, Defrost	3	Defrosting bread, fish, meats, poultry, and precooked foods.
20%	2	Softening butter, cheese, and ice cream.
10%, Low	1	Taking chill out of fruit.

Sensor Cooking

A sensor in the microwave oven detects humidity released from the food as it heats, and adjusts the cook time accordingly.

Many sensor cycles require the covering of foods. Microwave safe containers or steamers with loose-fitting lids are recommended. The loose-fitting lid allows enough steam to escape to be detected by the sensor. When covering foods with plastic wrap, be sure to leave a large enough vent opening to allow the steam to escape.

NOTE:

The microwave oven should be plugged in for at least 3 minutes.
The microwave oven cavity and the exterior of the cooking container should be dry.
The room temperature should not exceed 95° (35°C).
If the door is opened during a sensor cycle, sensing will stop and the program will be canceled.

Popcorn

Two choices, press Popcorn repeatedly.
Small bag: 1.75 oz (50 g) only
Large bag: Senses 3.0-3.5 oz (85-99 g)

Do not use regular paper bags or glassware.
Pop only one package of popcorn at a time.
Follow manufacturer's instructions when using a microwave popcorn popper.
Listen for popping to slow to one pop every 1 or 2 seconds, and then stop the cycle. Do not repop unpopped kernels.
For best results, use fresh bags of popcorn.
Cooking results may vary by brand and fat content.

NOTE: Follow the instructions provided by the microwave popcorn manufacturer.

If microwave oven still does not operate, call for service. Door: Firmly close door. On some models, if a packaging spacer is attached to inside of the door, remove it, then firmly close door. If a message about the door appears in the display, the door has been closed for 5 minutes or more without the microwave oven being started. This occurs to avoid unintended starting of the microwave oven. Open and close the door, then start the cycle. Control: Make sure control is set properly. Make sure Control Lock is off. Make sure Demo mode (on some models) is off.
Arcing in the unit	Check the following: Soil buildup: Soil buildup on cavity walls, microwave inlet cover, cooking rack supports, and area where the door touches the frame can cause arcing. See "General Cleaning" in the "Microwave Oven Care" section.
Turntable alternates rotation directions	This is normal and depends on motor rotation at the beginning of the cycle.
Display shows messages	"Enter Clock" with flashing digits means there has been a power failure. Reset the clock. A letter followed by a number is an error indicator. Call for assistance.
Radio, TV, or cordless phone interference	Check the following: Proximity: Move the receiver away from the microwave oven, or adjust the radio or TV antenna. Soil: Make sure the microwave oven door and sealing surfaces are clean. Frequency: Some 2.4 GHz-based cordless phones and home wireless networks may experience static or noise while microwave oven is on. Use a corded phone, a different frequency cordless phone, or avoid using these items during microwave oven operation.
Moisture in the microwave cavity and/or on the exterior glass	Check the following: During microwave cycles that release significant moisture from the item being cooked (i.e. potatoes), it is normal to see and feel moisture in the microwave cavity and/or on the exterior glass as this moisture is vented from the unit.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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

burn hazard
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 and in the provided Installation Instructions.
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 - are able to explode and should not be heated in the microwave oven.
Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as described in the 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.
As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
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.
The microwave oven should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Call an authorized service company for examination, repair, or adjustment.
Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave oven.
Do not store this microwave oven outdoors. Do not use the microwave oven near water - for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or similar locations.
Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
See door surface cleaning instructions in the "Microwave Oven Care" section.
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
- Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the microwave oven when 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.
- If materials inside the oven 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.
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 overheat the liquid.
- Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
- Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
- 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.
Do not mount over a sink.
Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave oven when the microwave oven is in operation.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

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.
Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
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. Door (bent),
2. Hinges and latches (broken or loosened),
3. Door seals and sealing surfaces.
The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

Electrical Requirements

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Required:

A 120 V, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 or 20 A electrical supply with a fuse or circuit breaker

Recommended:

A time-delay fuse or time-delay circuit breaker
A separate circuit serving only this microwave oven

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.

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.
