Installation Instructions  
Before you begin operating the oven, carefully read the following instructions.  
1. Empty the microwave oven and clean inside it  
with a soft, damp cloth. Check for damage such  
as a door that isn’t lined up correctly, damage  
around the door, or dents inside the oven or on the  
exterior. If there is any damage, do not operate the  
oven until a designated service technician has  
checked it and made any needed repairs.  
2. Put the oven on a cart, counter, table, or shelf that  
is strong enough to hold the oven and the food and  
utensils you put in it. (The control side of the unit  
is the heavy side. Use care when handling the  
oven.) The weight of the oven is about 35 lbs (16  
kg). The microwave oven should be at a tempera-  
ture above 50°F (10°C) for proper operation.  
Air intake  
opening  
(in rear)  
Exhaust vent  
(on side)  
NOTE: You can build your microwave oven into a  
wall or cabinet by using one of the trim kits listed in  
the “Built-in kits” section.  
Power  
supply cord  
NOTE: Do not block the exhaust vents or air intake  
openings. Allow a few inches of space at the back  
and side of the oven where the exhaust vents are  
located. Blocking the exhaust vents could cause  
damage to the oven and poor cooking results. Make  
sure the microwave oven legs are in place to ensure  
proper airflow. If vents are blocked, a sensitive ther-  
mal safety device automatically turns the oven off.  
The oven should work properly once it has cooled.  
Electrical requirements  
Observe all governing codes and ordinances. A 120  
Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused electrical  
supply is required. (A time-delay fuse is recommended.)  
It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only  
this appliance be provided.  
wWARNING  
wWARNING  
Electrical Shock Hazard  
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.  
Do not remove ground prong.  
Do not use an adapter.  
Fire Hazard  
Do not install the oven next to or over a heat  
source without a UL approved trim kit.  
Doing so can result in death, fire,  
or electrical shock.  
Do not use an extension cord.  
Failure to follow these instructions can  
result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Installation Instructions  
Electrical requirements  
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
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 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.  
For a permanently connected appliance:  
The microwave oven 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  
equipment grounding terminal or lead on the  
microwave oven.  
WARNING: 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.

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.  
How your microwave oven  
works  
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:  
Microwave energy is not hot. It causes food to make  
its own heat, and it’s this heat that cooks the food.  
Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces of the  
oven.  
Microwaves are like TV waves, radio waves, or light  
waves. You cannot see them, but you can see what  
they do.  
Adjusting the receiving antenna of the radio or  
television.  
A magnetron in the microwave oven produces  
microwaves. The microwaves move into the oven  
where they contact food as it turns on the turntable.  
Moving the receiver away from the microwave  
oven.  
Plugging the microwave oven into a different outlet  
so that the microwave oven and receiver are on  
different branch circuits.  
Your oven has a ULTRA WAVE™ multiple  
microwave distribution system. Microwave energy  
is released from two locations, giving you better,  
more even cooking.  
Magnetron  
For the best cooking  
results  
recommended. Check to see how the food is  
cooking. If needed, touch EASY START while the  
oven is operating or after the cooking cycle is over  
(see the “Using EASY START” section).  
Always cook food for the shortest cooking time  
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.  
Metal floor  
Glass turntable Oven cavity  
If you do not have a cover for a dish, use wax  
paper, or microwave-approved paper towels or  
plastic wrap. Remember to turn back a corner of  
the plastic wrap to vent steam during cooking.  
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.  
Testing your microwave  
oven  
To test the oven, put 1 cup (250 mL) 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.  
7
 
Getting to Know Your Microwave Oven  
When you use a browning dish, the browning  
dish bottom must be at least 3⁄  
in. (5 mm) above  
16  
Testing your dinnerware  
or cookware  
the turntable. Follow the directions supplied with  
the browning dish.  
Test dinnerware or cookware before using.  
To test a dish for safe use, put it into the oven  
with 1 cup (250 mL) 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).  
Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside the  
shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause  
them to burst, 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.  
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.  
Operating tips  
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.  
Never lean on the door or allow a child to swing  
on it when the door is open.  
Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heat  
containers, but the heat from the food can make  
the container hot.  
Do not use newspaper or other printed paper in  
the oven.  
Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable  
utensils are not suitable and it is difficult to  
maintain appropriate deep-frying temperatures.  
Do not dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, paper,  
gourds, or clothes in the oven.  
Do not start a microwave oven when it is empty.  
Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the  
recommended cooking time, potatoes should be  
slightly firm because they will continue cooking  
during standing time. After microwaving, let  
potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish  
cooking while standing.  
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.  
Do not operate the microwave oven unless the  
Electrical connection  
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. Handle your turntable with care when  
removing it from the oven to avoid possibly  
breaking it. If your turntable cracks or breaks,  
contact your dealer for a replacement.  
If your electric power line or outlet voltage is less  
than 110 volts, cooking times may be longer. Have a  
qualified electrician check your electrical system.

You can defrost food by choosing a category and set-  
ting a weight. CUSTOM DEFROST has preset times  
and cook powers for 3 categories: Meat, Poultry, and  
Fish.  
Open containers such as cartons before they are  
placed in the oven.  
Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging.  
1. Touch CUSTOM DEFROST.  
If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place it in a  
suitable container.  
Once for Meat, twice for Poultry,  
three times for Fish.  
Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as sausage.  
Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even  
defrosting.  
2. Touch number pads for desired weight  
(from .1 to 6.0 lbs [45 g to 2.7 kg]).  
Always underestimate defrosting time. If defrosted  
food is still icy in the center, return it to the  
microwave oven for more defrosting.  
3. Touch START.  
The length of defrosting time varies according to  
how solidly the food is frozen.  
4. During defrosting, 5 tones will sound.  
These tones tell you when to check,  
turn over, separate, or rearrange the  
food. To start the oven again, touch  
START.  
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 evenly.

Display will show “END” and 3 tones will sound.  
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.  
Weight conversion chart  
You are probably used to food weights as being in  
pounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound  
(for example, 4 ounces equals 1⁄  
pound [113.4 g]).

For better results, let food stand after defrosting.  
(For more information on standing time, see  
“Microwave cooking tips” in the “Cooking Guide”  
section.)  
If the weight on the food package is in fractions of a  
pound, you can use the following chart to convert the  
weight to decimals.  
Turn food over during defrosting or standing time.

Auto Sensor Cooking  
Your microwave oven has a sensor that detects  
the humidity released by the food. The amount  
of humidity detected tells the oven how long to  
cook or heat your food. The sensor is used by  
3 special functions: AUTO SENSOR COOK,  
AUTO SENSOR REHEAT, and AUTO SENSOR  
POPCORN. The simple instructions for these  
functions are on the following pages.  
Using AUTO SENSOR  
COOK  
To use AUTO SENSOR COOK:  
1. Put the food in the oven and close the  
door.  
NOTES:  
If you want to cook by entering a time and cook  
power, see “Microwave cooking guide” in the  
“Cooking Guide” section.  
2. Touch AUTO SENSOR COOK until  
desired food type is displayed.  
AUTO SENSOR COOK will start automatically  
after a short delay.  
The oven should be plugged in at least 5 minutes  
before sensor cooking.  
(See Auto Sensor Cooking Chart.)  
Room temperature should not exceed 95°F (35°C).  
Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and  
the interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off each with  
a paper towel.  
The oven will not generate microwave energy for  
approximately 28 seconds at the beginning of the  
sensor cooking cycle.  
When covering foods, be sure to leave an opening  
big enough for moisture to escape so that the  
sensor can determine cooking or reheating time.

Cooking Guide  
Microwave cooking tips  
Amount of food  
Releasing pressure in foods  
If you increase or decrease the amount of food  
Several foods (for example: baked potatoes,  
you prepare, the time it takes to cook that food will  
also change. For example, if you double a recipe,  
add a little more than half the original cooking time.  
Check for doneness and, if necessary, add more  
time in small increments.  
sausages, egg yolks, and some fruits) are tightly  
covered by a skin or membrane. Steam can build  
up under the membrane during cooking, causing  
the food to burst. To relieve the pressure and to  
prevent bursting, pierce these foods before  
cooking with a fork, cocktail pick, or toothpick.  
Starting temperature of food  
Using standing time  
The lower the temperature of the food being put  
into the microwave oven, the longer it takes to  
cook. Food at room temperature will be reheated  
more quickly than food at refrigerator temperature.  
Always allow food to stand after cooking. Stand-  
ing time after defrosting and cooking allows the  
temperature to evenly spread throughout the food,  
improving the cooking results.  
The length of the standing time depends on how  
Composition of food  
much food you are cooking and how dense it is.  
Sometimes it can be as short as the time it takes  
you to remove the food from the oven and take it  
to the serving table. However, with larger, denser  
food, the standing time may be as long as 10 min-  
utes.  
Food with a lot of fat and sugar will be heated  
faster than food containing a lot of water. Fat and  
sugar will also reach a higher temperature than  
water in the cooking process.  
The more dense the food, the longer it takes to  
heat. “Very dense” food like meat takes longer to re-  
heat than lighter, more porous food like sponge  
cakes.  
Arranging food  
For best results, place food evenly on the plate. You  
can do this in several ways:  
Size and shape  
If you are cooking several items of the same  
food, such as baked potatoes, place them in a  
ring pattern for uniform cooking.  
Smaller pieces of food will cook faster than larger  
pieces. Also, same-shaped pieces cook more  
evenly than different-shaped pieces.  
When cooking foods of uneven shapes or thick-  
With foods that have different thicknesses, the  
ness, such as chicken breasts, place the smaller  
or thinner area of the food towards the center of  
the dish where it will be heated last.  
thinner parts will cook faster than the thicker parts.  
Place the thinner parts of chicken wings and legs  
in the center of the dish.  
Layer thin slices of meat on top of each other.  
When you cook or reheat whole fish, score the  
skin – this prevents cracking.  
Stirring, turning foods  
Stirring and turning foods spreads heat quickly to  
the center of the dish and avoids overcooking at  
the outer edges of the food.  
Do not let food or a container touch the top or  
sides of the oven. This will prevent possible arcing.  
Covering food  
Cover food to:  
Reduce splattering  
Shorten cooking times  
Keep food moist  
You can use any covering that lets microwaves pass  
through. See “Getting to Know Your Microwave  
Oven” for materials that microwaves will pass  
through. If you are using the Auto Sensor function, be  
sure to vent.

Caring for Your Microwave Oven  
To make sure your microwave oven looks  
good and works well for a long time, you  
should maintain it properly. For proper care,  
please follow these instructions carefully.  
Microwave cooking tips  
(cont.)  
For interior surfaces: Wash often with warm, sudsy  
water and a sponge or soft cloth. Use only mild, non-  
Using aluminum foil  
Metal containers should not be used in a microwave  
oven. There are, however, some exceptions. If you  
have purchased food which is prepackaged in an  
aluminum foil container, refer to the instructions on  
the package. When using aluminum foil containers,  
cooking times may be longer because microwaves  
will only penetrate the top of the food.  
abrasive soaps or a mild detergent. Be sure to keep  
the areas clean where the door and oven frame  
touch when closed. Wipe well with clean water. Over  
time, stains can occur on the surfaces as the result of  
food particles spattering during cooking. This is nor-  
mal.  
For stubborn soil, boil a cup (250 mL) of water in the  
oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften the soil. To  
get rid of odors inside the oven, boil a cup (250 mL)  
of water with lemon juice or vinegar.  
If you use aluminum containers without package  
instructions, follow these guidelines:  
Place the container in a glass bowl and add some  
water so that it covers the bottom of the container,  
For exterior surfaces and control panel: Use a  
soft cloth with spray glass cleaner. Apply the spray  
glass cleaner to the soft cloth; do not spray directly  
on the oven.  
not more than 1⁄  
in. (.64 cm) high. This ensures even  
4
heating of the container bottom.  
Always remove the lid to avoid damage to the  
oven.  
NOTE: Abrasive cleansers, steel-wool pads,  
gritty wash cloths, some paper towels, etc., can  
damage the control panel and the interior and exteri-  
or oven surfaces.  
Use only undamaged containers.  
Do not use containers taller than 34 in. (1.9 cm).  
Container must be at least half filled.  
To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum 1⁄  
in.  
(.64 cm) between the aluminum container and the  
walls of the oven and also between two aluminum  
containers.  
4
To clean turntable and turntable support, wash in  
mild, sudsy water; for heavily soiled areas use a mild  
cleanser and scouring sponge. The turntable and  
turntable support are dishwasher-safe.  
Always place the container on the turntable.  
Reheating food in aluminum foil containers usually  
takes up to double the time compared to reheating  
in plastic, glass, china, or paper containers. The  
time when food is ready will vary depending upon  
the type of container you use.  
Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after heating so  
that heat is spread evenly throughout container.  
Cooking you should not do in your  
microwave oven  
Do not do canning of foods in the oven. Closed  
glass jars may explode, resulting in damage to the  
oven.  
Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize objects  
(baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at  
the high temperature needed for sterilization.

Questions and Answers  
QUESTIONS  
ANSWERS  
Can I operate my microwave oven without the  
turntable or turn the turntable over to hold a  
large dish?  
No. If you remove or turn over the turntable, you  
will get poor cooking results. Dishes used in  
your oven must fit on the turntable.  
Can I use a rack in my microwave oven so that I  
may reheat or cook on two levels at a time?  
You can use a rack only if the rack is supplied  
with your microwave oven. If you use a rack not  
supplied with the microwave oven, you can get  
poor cooking performance and/or arcing.  
Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my  
microwave oven?  
You can use aluminum foil for shielding (use small,  
flat pieces), small skewers, and shallow foil trays  
(if tray is not taller than 3⁄  
in. [1.9 cm] deep and half  
4
filled with food to absorb microwave energy).  
Never allow metal to touch walls or door.  
Is it normal for the turntable to turn in  
either direction?  
Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or counter-  
clockwise, depending on the rotation of the  
motor when the cooking cycle begins.  
Sometimes the door of my microwave oven ap-  
pears wavy. Is this normal?  
This appearance is normal and does not affect the  
operation of your oven.  
What are the humming noises that I hear when my  
microwave oven is operating?  
You may hear the sound of the transformer when  
the magnetron tube cycles on.  
Why does the dish become hot when I microwave  
food in it? I thought that this should not happen.  
As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat  
to the dish. Be prepared to use hot pads to  
remove food after cooking.  
What does “standing time” mean?  
“Standing time” means that food should be  
removed from the oven and covered for additional  
time to allow it to finish cooking. This frees the  
oven for other cooking.  
Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?  
Steam is normally produced during cooking. The  
microwave oven has been designed to vent this  
steam out the vents.  
Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven?  
How do I get the best results?  
Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn  
following manufacturer’s guidelines or use the  
preset AUTO SENSOR 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 1 or 2 seconds. Do not  
repop unpopped kernels. Do not pop popcorn in  
glass cookware.
