OPERATION  
MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS  
For best results, some recipes call for different cook  
powers. The lower the cook power, the slower the  
cooking. Each number from 1 to 9 stands for a  
different percentage of full cook power.  
It also tells you when to use each cook power. Follow  
recipe or food package instructions if available.  
NOTE: Refer to a reliable cookbook for cooking times  
based on the 1000 Watt cook power of your microwave  
oven.  
The following chart gives the percentage of cook  
power each number pad stands for, and the cook  
power name usually used.

OPERATION  
OPERATING TIPS  
AUTO DEFROST  
• For best results, remove fish, shellfish, 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.  
ꢕ!#0 defrost sequences are preset in the oven.  
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 best results, shape your ground meat into the  
form of a doughnut before freezing. When  
defrosting, scrape off thawed meat when the beep  
sounds and continue defrosting.  
For added convenience, the Auto Defrost  
includes a built-in beep mechanism that reminds  
you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange to get  
best defrost results. ꢕ!#0 different defrosting levels  
are provided.  
• Place foods in a shallow container.  
This table shows you food type selections and the  
weights you can set for each type. For best  
results, loosen or remove covering on food.

OPERATION  
DEFROSTING TIPS  
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).  
Before starting, make sure you have removed any  
of the metal twist-ties which often come with frozen  
food bags, and replace them with strings or elastic  
bands.  
Open containers such as cartons before they are  
placed in the oven.  
Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging.  
If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place it in a  
suitable container.  
Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as  
sausage.  
Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even  
defrosting.  
Always underestimate defrosting time. If defrosted  
food is still icy in the center, return it to the  
microwave oven for more defrosting.  
The length of defrosting time varies according to  
how solidly the food is frozen.  
The shape of the package affects how quickly food  
will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more  
quickly than a deep block.  
As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces.  
Separated pieces defrost more easily.  
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.  
For better results, let food stand after defrosting.  
(For more information on standing time, see the  
“Microwave Cooking Tips” section.)  
Turn over food during defrosting or standing time.  
Break apart and remove food as required.

GETTING THE BEST COOKING  
RESULTS  
To get the best results from your microwave oven, read  
and follow the guidelines below.  
roasts, or whole cauliflower halfway through the  
cooking time to expose all sides equally to microwave  
energy.  
Place delicate areas of foods, such as asparagus  
tips, toward the center of the dish.  
Storage Temperature: Foods taken from the freezer  
or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same  
foods at room temperature. The time for recipes in  
this book is based on the normal storage temperature  
of the food.  
Size: Small pieces of food cook faster than large  
ones, pieces similar in size and shape cook more  
evenly. For even cooking, reduce the power when  
cooking large pieces of food.  
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken  
pieces or salmon steaks, with the thicker, meatier  
parts toward the outside of the dish.  
Shield, with Small pieces of aluminum foil, parts of  
food that may cook quickly, such as wing tips and leg  
ends of poultry.  
Let It Stand: After you remove the food from the  
microwave, cover food with foil or casserole lid and let  
it stand to finish cooking in the center and avoid  
overcooking the outer edges. The length of standing  
time depends on the density and surface area of the  
food.  
Natural Moisture: Very moist foods cook more  
evenly because microwave energy is attracted to  
water molecules.  
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables from  
the outside to the center to distribute the heat evenly  
and speed cooking. Constant stirring is not  
necessary.  
Wrapping in waxed paper or paper towel:  
Sandwiches and many other foods containing  
prebaked bread should be wrapped prior to  
microwaving to prevent drying out.  
Fish & Shellfish  
Cooking Fish and Shellfish: General Directions  
• Prepare the fish for cooking.  
- Always set the shortest cooking time. Fish is done  
- Completely defrost the fish or shellfish.  
- Arrange unevenly shaped pieces with thicker parts  
toward the outside of the dish. Arrange shellfish in a  
single layer for even cooking.  
when it turns opaque and the thickest part begins to  
flake. Shellfish is done when the shell turns from  
pink to red and the flesh is opaque and firm.  
- The type of cover you use depends on how you  
cook. Poached fish needs a microwavable lid or  
vented plastic wrap.  
• The Fish and Shellfish Cooking Table below provides  
specific directions with Power Level and Cooking  
Time settings for most types of fish and shellfish.  
- Baked fish, coated fish, or fish in sauce needs to be  
covered lightly with waxed paper to keep the coating  
crisp and sauce from getting watery.

Meat  
Appetizers / Sauces / Soups  
Cooking Meat: General Directions  
• Prepare the meat for cooking.  
- Defrost completely.  
Cooking Appetizers: Tips and  
Techniques  
Recommended  
Crisp crackers, such as melba toast, shredded wheat  
and crisp rye crackers are best for microwave use.  
Wait until party time to add the spreads. Place a  
paper towel under the crackers while they cook in  
the microwave oven to absorb extra moisture.  
• Arrange individual appetizers in a circle for even  
cooking.  
- Trim off excess fat to avoid splattering.  
- Place the meat, fat side down, on a microwavable  
rack in a microwavable dish.  
- Use oven cooking bag for less tender cuts of meat.  
- Arrange the meat so that thicker portions are toward  
the outside of the dish.  
- Cover the meat with waxed paper to prevent  
splattering.  
• Tend the meat as it cooks.  
• Stir dips to distribute heat and shorten cooking time.  
- Drain juices as they accumulate to reduce  
splattering and keep from overcooking the bottom of  
the meat.  
- Shield thin or bony portions with strips of foil to  
prevent overcooking.  
Cooking Sauces: Tips and Techniques  
• Use a microwavable casserole or glass measuring  
cup that is at least 2 or 3 times the volume of the  
sauce.  
• Sauces made with cornstarch thicken more rapidly  
than those made with flour.  
NOTE: Keep the foil at least 1 inch from the oven  
walls, and do not cover more than one-third of the meat  
with foil at any one time.  
• Let the meat stand covered with foil 10-15 minutes  
after you remove it from the oven. The internal  
temperature of the meat may rise from 5-10°F during  
standing time.  
• Cook sauces made with cornstarch or flour uncovered  
so you may stir them 2 or 3 times during cooking for a  
smooth consistency.  
• To adapt a conventional sauce or gravy recipe,  
reduce the amount of liquid slightly.  
Cooking Soups: Tips and Techniques  
• Cook soups in a microwavable dish which holds  
double the volume of the recipe ingredients to prevent  
boil-over, especially if you use cream or milk in the  
soup.  
The Meat Cooking Table on the next page provides  
detailed directions, Power Level, and Cooking Time  
settings for most cuts of meat.  
• Generally, cover microwaved soups with VENTED  
plastic wrap or a microwavable lid.  
• Cover foods to retain moisture. Uncover foods to  
retain crispness.  
• Avoid overcooking by using the minimum suggested  
time. Add more time, if necessary, only after checking  
the food.  
• Stirring occasionally will help blend flavors, distribute  
heat evenly, and may even shorten the cooking time.  
• When converting a conventional soup recipe to cook  
in the microwave, reduce the liquid, salt, and strong  
seasonings.  
Not Recommended  
• Appetizers with a crisp coating or puff pastry are best  
done in a conventional oven with dry heat.  
• Breaded products can be warmed in the microwave  
oven but will not come out crisp.

COOKING  
Pasta And Rice  
Microwave cooking and conventional cooking of pasta,  
rice, and cereal require about the same amount of time,  
but the microwave is a more convenient method  
because you can cook and serve in the same dish.  
There is no stirring needed and leftover pasta tastes  
just like fresh cooked when reheated in the microwave  
oven.  
Cooking Pasta and Rice: Tips and Techniques  
• If you are planning to use rice or pasta in a casserole,  
undercook it so it is still firm.  
• Allow for standing time with rice, but not for pasta.  
• The Pasta and Rice Cooking Tables below provide  
specific directions, with Power Level and Cooking

MAINTENANCE  
3. To reinstall the filters, slide it into the side slot, then  
push up and forward to lock.  
CARE AND CLEANING  
For best performance and safety, keep the oven clean  
inside and outside. Take special care to keep the inner  
door panel and the oven front frame free of food or  
grease build-up.  
Never use rough powder or pads. Wipe the  
microwave oven inside and out, including the hood  
bottom cover, with a soft cloth and a warm(not hot)  
mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry. Use a  
chrome cleaner and polish on chrome, metal and  
aluminum surfaces. Wipe spatters immediately with a  
wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or  
bacon. Clean your oven weekly or more often, if  
needed.  
ĸ
ķ
NOTE: Do not operate the hood without the filters in  
place.  
CHARCOAL FILTER REPLACEMENT  
If your oven is vented inside, the charcoal filter should  
be replaced every 6 to 12 months, and more often if  
necessary. The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned.  
To order a new charcoal filter, contact the Service  
Center.  
1. Remove the two vent grille mounting screws.  
(2 !#"'8*& screws)  
2. Tip the grille forward, then lift it out  
CLEANING THE GREASE FILTERS  
The grease filters should be removed and cleaned  
often, at least once a month.  
1.  
To remove grease filters, slide each  
filter to the side, then pull filters downward.  
The filter will drop out.  
ķ
ĸ
3. Open the door.  
4. Push the hook and remove old filter.  
2. Soak grease filters in hot water and a mild  
detergent. Rinse well and shake to dry. Do not use  
ammonia or place in a dishwasher. The  
aluminum will darken.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS  
Q. Can I use a rack in my microwave oven so that I  
may reheat or cook in two levels at a time?  
A. Only use the rack that is supplied with your  
microwave oven. Use of any other rack can result in  
poor cooking performance and/or arcing and may  
damage your oven.  
2. Remove the bulb cover mounting screws.  
Q. Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my  
microwave oven?  
A. Usable metal includes aluminum foil for shielding  
(use small, flat pieces), and shallow foil trays (if tray  
is 3/4 inch deep and filled with food to absorb  
microwave energy). Never allow metal to touch  
walls or door.  
3. Replace bulb with 30 watt appliance bulb.  
4. Replace bulb cover, and mount screw.  
5. Turn the power back on at the main power supply.  
Q. Sometimes the door of my microwave oven  
appears wavy. Is this normal?  
A. This appearance is normal and does not affect the  
operation of your oven.  
OVEN LIGHT REPLACEMENT  
1. Unplug oven or turn off power at the main power  
supply.  
2. Remove the vent cover mounting screws. (2 !#"'8*&  
Q. What are the humming noises that I hear when  
my microwave oven is operating?  
A. You hear the sound of the transformer when the  
magnetron tube cycles on and off.  
screws)  
3. Tip the cover forward, then lift out to remove.  
Q. Why does the dish become hot when I  
microwave food in it? I thought that this should  
not happen.  
A. As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to  
the dish. Use hot pads to remove food after  
cooking.  
Q. What does “standing time” mean?  
A. ”Standing time” means that food should be taken  
out of the oven and covered for additional time after  
cooking. This process allows the cooking to finish,  
saves energy and frees the oven for other purpose.  
4. Lift up the bulb holder.  
Q. Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven? How  
do I get the best results?  
A. Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following  
manufacturer’s guidelines or use the  
preprogrammed Popcorn pad.  
Do not use regular paper bags. Use the “listening  
test” by stopping the oven as soon as the popping  
slows to a “pop” every one or two seconds. Do not  
try to repop unpopped kernels. You can also use  
special microwave poppers. When using a popper,  
be sure to follow manufacturer’s directions. Do not  
pop popcorn in glass utensils.  
Q. Why does steam come out of the air exhaust  
vent?  
A. Steam is normally produced during cooking. The  
microwave oven has been designed to vent this  
steam out the top vent.  
5. Replace bulb with a 30 watt appliance bulb.  
6. Replace the bulb holder.  
7. Slide the top of the vent cover into place. Push the  
bottom until it snaps into place. Replace the  
mounting screws. Turn the power back on at the  
main power supply.

MAINTENANCE  
MICROWAVE UTENSIL GUIDE  
USE  
DO NOT USE  
OVENPROOF GLASS (treated for high  
intensity heat):  
utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates,  
cake plates, liquid measuring cups,  
casseroles and bowls without metallic  
trim.  
METAL UTENSILS:  
Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces  
uneven cooking. Also avoid metal skewers, thermometers, or foil  
trays. Metal utensils can cause arcing, which can damage your  
microwave oven.  
METAL DECORATION:  
Metal-trimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes,  
etc. The metal trim interferes with normal cooking and may  
damage the oven.  
CHINA:  
bowls, cups, serving plates and platters  
without metallic trim.  
ALUMINUM FOIL:  
PLASTIC:  
Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking  
and may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield  
poultry legs and wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch  
from the side walls and door of the oven.  
Plastic wrap (as a cover)-- lay the plastic  
wrap loosely over the dish and press it to  
the sides.  
Vent plastic wrap by turning back one  
edge slightly to allow excess steam to  
escape. The dish should be deep  
enough so that the plastic wrap will not  
touch the food. As the food heats it may  
melt the plastic wrap wherever the wrap  
touches the food.  
WOOD:  
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack  
when you use them in the microwave oven. Baskets react in the  
same way.  
Use plastic dishes, cups,  
TIGHTLY COVERED UTENSILS:  
semirigid freezer containers, and plastic  
bags only for short cooking time. Use  
these with care because the plastic  
may soften from the heat of the food.  
Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered  
utensils. Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items  
before cooking. Tightly closed pouches could explode.  
PAPER:  
Paper towels, waxed paper, paper  
napkins, and paper plates with no  
metallic trim or design. Look for the  
manufacturer's label for use in the  
microwave oven.  
BROWN PAPER:  
Avoid using brown paper bags.  
They absorb too much heat and could burn.  
FLAWED OR CHIPPED UTENSILS:  
Any utensil that is cracked, flawed, or chipped may break in the  
oven.  
METAL TWIST TIES:  
Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags.  
They become hot and could cause a fire.

power levels) were correctly followed.  
• be sure microwave oven is on a separate circuit.  
• be sure food is completely defrosted before cooking.  
If the oven interior light does not works:  
If food is overcooked:  
• the light bulb is loose or defective.  
• check recipe to be sure all directions (amount, power  
level, time, size of dish) were followed.  
If oven will not cook:  
• check that control panel was programmed correctly.  
• check that door is firmly closed.  
• check that Start Pad was pressed.  
• check that probe was inserted correctly  
into receptacle.  
If arcing (sparks) occur:  
• be sure microwavable dishes were used.  
• be sure wire twist ties weren’t used.  
• be sure oven wasn’t operated when empty.  
• make sure metal rack (if used) is properly installed on 4  
supports.  
• check that timer wasn’t started instead of a cook  
function.  
If the Display shows a time counting down but the  
oven is not cooking:  
• check that door is firmly closed.  
• check that timer wasn’t started instead of a cooking  
function.  
If oven takes longer than normal to cook or cooks  
too rapidly:  
• be sure the Power Level is programmed properly.  
If the time of day clock does not always keep  
correct time:  
• check that the power cord is fully inserted into the  
outlet receptacle.  
• be sure the oven is the only appliance on the  
electrical circuit.
