RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE

This equipment generates and uses ISM frequencies and if

not installed and used properly in strict accordance with the

manufacturer’s instructions, it may cause interference to radio and

television reception. It has been type-tested and found to comply with

limits for ISM Equipment pursuant to Part 18 of FCC Rules, which are

designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference

in a residential installation.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in

particular installations. If this equipment does cause interference to

radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning

the equipment off and on, the interference can be corrected by one

or more of the following methods:

• Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.

• Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.

• Plug the microwave into a different outlet so that microwave and

receiver are on different branch circuits.

The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference

caused by unauthorized modiﬁcation of this appliance. It is the

responsibility of the user to correct such interference.

or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on the sealing

surfaces.

• Do not operate the appliance if it is damaged. The door must

close properly and there must be no damage to the hinges,

latches, door, door seals or sealing surfaces.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short

circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing

an escape wire for the electrical current.

This appliance is equipped with a cord that has a grounding

wire with a grounding plug. The power cord must be plugged

into an outlet that is properly grounded. If the outlet is a standard

2-prong wall outlet, it is your responsibility to have it replaced with

a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. The serial rating plate

indicates the voltage and frequency the appliance is designed for.

WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk

of electric shock. Consult a qualiﬁed electrician or service agent if

the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt

exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD

Do not connect your appliance to extension cords or together with

another appliance in the same wall outlet. Do not splice the power

cord. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third

ground prong from the power cord.

If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the

manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualiﬁed person in order to

avoid hazard.

SAFETY - SUPERHEATED LIQUID

Liquids are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without

appearing to be boiling due to the surface tension of the liquid.

Visible bubbling will not always be present when the liquid is

removed from the appliance. This could result in very hot liquids

suddenly boiling over when a utensil or other item such as a tea bag

is inserted into the liquid.

To reduce the risk of injury:

• Do not overheat liquids. Do not heat any liquid for more than 2

minutes per cup.

• Stir liquids before and halfway through heating.

• Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks as this

can cause a build up of steam.

• Superheated liquid can begin to spontaneously boil when

removed from the microwave. After heating, allow the liquid to

stand in the microwave for 30 seconds before removing.

• Use extreme care when inserting a utensil or other item into hot

liquids.

• The contents of milk bottles and baby food jars should be stirred

or shaken and the temperature checked before serving in order

to avoid burns.

• Do not defrost frozen beverages, especially carbonated

beverages, in this appliance as they could explode.

• Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when opening

any container that has been heated in the appliance. Direct the

opening away from hands and face to avoid burns.

SAFETY - ARCING

Arcing refers to sparks inside the microwave while it is in operation.

Arcing is caused by:

• Metal or foil inside the appliance.

• Recycled paper towels being used inside the appliance, as these

can contain small pieces of metal.

If arcing is present, stop operation and remove any metal or paper

towels from the appliance.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

RECOMMENDED

Microwave Browning Dish: Used

to brown the exterior of small

food items. Follow the directions

provided with the browning dish.

Microwavable Plastic Wrap:

Used to retain steam. Leave a

small opening to avoid a build

up of steam. Do not place

directly on food.

Glass and Ceramic Bowls

and Dishes: Use for heating or

cooking.

Paper Plates and Cups: Use

for short term heating at low

temperatures. Do not use

recycled paper as they can

contain metal and could ignite.

Paper Towels and Napkins:

Use for short term heating and

covering. Do not use recycled

paper towels as they can contain

metal and could ignite.

Wax Paper: Use as a cover to

prevent splattering.

Thermometers: Only use those

that are labeled “microwave

safe” and follow all directions.

COOKING UTENSILS GUIDE

LIMITED USE

Ceramic, Porcelain, Plastic and

Stoneware: Only use if they are

labeled “microwave safe”.

Note: To check if a dish is safe

for use in the microwave, place

the empty dish in the appliance

and microwave on high for 30

seconds. If the dish becomes very

hot, it should not be used.

NOT RECOMMENDED

Glass Jars and Bottles: Regular

glass is too thin to be used in a

microwave. It can shatter and

cause damage or injury.

Paper Bags: These are a ﬁre

hazard and could ignite. The

only exception is popcorn

bags, which are designed for

microwave use.

Styrofoam Plates and Cups:

These can melt and leave an

unhealthy residue on food.

Plastic Storage and Food

Containers: These can melt and

ignite.

Metal Utensils: These can cause

arcing and damage to the

appliance. Remove all metal

before operation.

To achieve the best results when cooking in this appliance, follow the

suggestions below.

STIRRING

Stir foods while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at the outside of

the dish absorbs more energy and will heat more quickly so stir from the

outside of the dish toward the center.

ARRANGEMENT

Arrange unevenly shaped foods thicker, meatier parts toward the outside

of the turntable so they receive more heat. To prevent overcooking, place

delicate items toward the center of the turntable.

SHIELDING

Delicate foods can be shielded with narrow strips of aluminum foil to

prevent overcooking. Use only small amounts of foil as this can cause

arcing and damage to the appliance.

TURNING

Turn food over midway through cooking to expose all parts to the

microwave energy. This is important with large items and meat.

STANDING

Foods cooked in a microwave build up internal heat and continue to

cook for a few minutes after heating stops. Let foods stand to complete

cooking, especially meats and liquids. All liquids should be allowed to

stand for a few minutes after cooking and should be shaken or stirred

before consuming.

ADDING MOISTURE

Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in

moisture content should be covered and allowed to stand after cooking

to allow the heat to disperse evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry

food to help it cook.
