GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event
of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces
risk of electric shock by providing an escape

Hz, AC only, 20 amp. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only the oven be
provided. The oven is equipped with a 3-prong
grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall
receptacle that is properly installed and
grounded.
WARNING Improper use of the grounding plug
can result in a risk of electric shock.

Notes:
2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are
available and may be used if care is exercised
in their use.
If you have any questions about the grounding
or electrical instructions, consult a qualified
electrician or service person.
3. If long cord or extension cord is used：
a) The marked electrical rating of the cord
set or extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
Neither manufacturer nor the dealer can accept
any liability for damage to the oven or personal
injury resulting from failure to observe the
electrical connection procedures.

could ignite.
This section lists which utensils can be used in
the microwave, which ones have limited use for
short periods, and which ones should not be
used in the microwave.
Wax paper — Use as a cover to prevent
spattering.
Thermometers — Use only those labeled
"Microwave Safe" and follow all directions.
Check the food in several places. Conventional
thermometers may be used on microwave food
once the food has been removed from the
oven.
RECOMMENDED
ü
Microwave browning dish — Use to brown
the exterior of small items such as steaks,
chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions
provided with your browning dish.
L LIMITED USE
Microwaveable plastic wrap — Use to retain
steam. Leave a small opening for some steam
to escape and avoid placing it directly on the
food.
Aluminum foil — Use narrow strips of foil to
prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Using
too much foil can damage your oven, so be
careful. You should keep distance of 1 inch
(2.54cm) between aluminum foil and cavity.
Paper towels and napkins — Use for
short-term heating and covering; these absorb
excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do not
use recycled paper towels, which may contain
metal and could ignite.
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.
Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes
— Use for heating or cooking.
Plastic — Use only if labeled "Microwave
Safe". Other plastics can melt.
Paper plates and cups — Use for short-term
heating at low temperatures. Do not use
recycled paper, which may contain metal and
ûNot Recommended
4
Glass jars and bottles — Regular glass is too
thin to be used in a microwave. It can shatter
and cause damage and injury.
Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for
microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven
and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish
which becomes very hot should not be used.
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.
Note:
COOKING TECHNIQUES
Your microwave makes cooking easier than
conventional cooking, provided you keep these
considerations in mind:
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.
STIRRING
TURNING
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.
Turn foods over midway through cooking to
expose all parts to microwave energy. This is
especially important with large foods such as
roasts.
STANDING
ARRANGEMENT
Foods cooked in the microwave build up
internal heat and continue to cook for a few
minutes after heating stops. Let foods stand to
complete cooking, especially foods such as
cakes 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 at removal and test the
temperature before serving.
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 delicate
areas, such as asparagus tips, toward the
center of the turntable.
SHIELDING
Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil
to prevent overcooking. Areas that need
5
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.
ADDING MOISTURE
Microwave energy is attracted to water
molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture
