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 ground-

ing 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 can result in a risk of

electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician or service-

man 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 equip-

ment grounding terminal or lead on the

appliance.

How your microwave

oven works

Microwave ovens are safe. Microwave

energy is not hot. It causes food to make

its own heat, and it's this heat that cooks

the food.

Microwaves are like TV waves, radio

waves or light waves. You cannot see them,

but you can see what they do.

A magnetron in the microwave oven

produces microwaves. The microwaves

move into the oven where they contact

food as it turns on the turntable.

The glass turntable of your microwave

oven lets microwaves pass through. Then

they bounce off a metal floor, back through

the glass turntable, and are absorbed by

the food.

Microwaves pass through most glass,

paper, and plastics without heating them so

food absorbs the energy. Microwaves

bounce off metal containers so food does

not absorb the energy.

The microwaves disturb water molecules

in the food. As the molecules bounce

around bumping into each other, heat is

made, like rubbing your hands together.

This is the heat that does the cooking.

Radio interference

Using your microwave oven may cause

interference to your radio, TV, or similar

equipment. When there is interference,

you can reduce it or remove it by:

•Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces

of the oven.

•Adjusting the receiving antenna of the

radio or television.

•Moving the receiver away from the

microwave oven.

For the best

cooking results

•Always cook food for the shortest

cooking time recommended. Check to see

how the food is cooking. If needed, touch

EASY MINUTE while the oven is operating

or after the cooking cycle is over (see the

“Using EASY MINUTE” section).

•Stir, turn over, or rearrange the food

being cooked about halfway through the

cooking time for all recipes. This will help

make sure the food is evenly cooked.

NOTE: Some cycles may have to be reset

if you have interrupted the cycle.

•If you do not have a cover for a dish,

use wax paper, or microwave-approved

paper towels or plastic wrap. Turn back a

corner of the plastic wrap to vent steam

during cooking.

Testing your

microwave oven

To test the oven put about 1 cup of cold

water in a glass container in the oven.

Close the door. Make sure it latches. Cook

at 100% power for 2 minutes. When the

time is up, the water should be heated.

Getting to Know Your

Microwave Oven

This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows you the

basics you need to know to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information

before you use your oven.

4452303v10c103 8/13/98 5:28 PM Page 8

•For best results, stir any liquid several

times during heating or reheating.

Liquids heated in certain containers

(especially containers shaped like cylinders)

may become overheated. The liquid may

splash out with a loud noise during or after

heating or when adding ingredients (coffee

granules, tea bags, etc.). This can harm the

oven and possibly injure someone.

•Microwaves may not reach the center of a

roast. The heat spreads to the center from

the outer, cooked areas just as in regular

oven cooking. This is one of the reasons

for letting some foods (for example, roasts

or baked potatoes) stand for a while after

cooking, or for stirring some foods during

the cooking time.

•Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable

cookware is not suitable and it is difficult to

maintain appropriate deep frying

temperatures.

•Do not overcook potatoes. Fire could

result. At the end of the recommended

cooking time, potatoes should be slightly

firm because they will continue cooking

during standing time. After microwaving,

wrap potatoes in foil and set aside for 5

minutes. They will finish cooking while

standing.

•Do not operate the microwave oven

unless the glass turntable is securely in

place and can rotate freely. The turntable

can rotate in either direction. Make sure

the turntable is correct-side up in the oven.

Make sure support base is all the way on

the shaft in oven cavity floor. Handle your

turntable with care when removing it from

the oven to avoid possibly breaking it. If

your turntable cracks or breaks, contact

your appliance dealer for a replacement.

Electrical

connection

Your microwave is connected to a 110-volt

side of the 240-volt circuit required for the

lower oven. If the incoming voltage to the

microwave is less than 110 volts, cooking

times may be longer. Have a qualified

electrician check your electrical system.

Getting to Know Your Microwave Oven

Test dinnerware or cookware before using.

To test a dish for safe use, put it into the oven

with a cup of water beside it. Cook at 100%

cook power for one minute. If the dish gets

hot and water stays cool, do not use it.

Some dishes (melamine, some ceramic

dinnerware, etc.) absorb microwave energy,

becoming too hot to handle and slowing

cooking times. Cooking in metal containers

not designed for microwave use could

damage the oven, as could containers with

hidden metal (twist-ties, foil lining, staples,

metallic glaze or trim).

Operating safety

precautions

•Never lean on the door or allow a child to

swing on it when the door is open. Injury

could result.

•Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not

heat containers, but heat from the food can

make the container hot.

•Do not use newspaper or other printed

paper in the oven. Fire could result.

•Do not dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, paper,

gourds, or clothes in the oven. Fire could result.

•Do not start a microwave oven when it is

empty. Product life may be shortened. If

you practice programming the oven, put a

container of water in the oven. It is normal

for the oven door to look wavy after the

oven has been running for a while.

•Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven.

Paraffin wax will not melt in a microwave

oven because it allows microwaves to pass

through it.

•When you use a browning dish, the

browning dish bottom must be at least 3⁄16

inch above the turntable. Follow the

directions supplied with the browning dish.

•Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside

the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may

cause them to burst and burn you, and

possibly damage the oven. Slice hard-

boiled eggs before heating. In rare cases,

poached eggs have been known to explode.

Cover poached eggs and allow a standing

time of one minute before cutting into them.
