INSTALLATION STEP 4: PREPARE THE WALL AND UPPER CABINET FOR INSTALLATION To avoid personal injury or property damage, do not ateempt to install this microwave oven if you cannot find a wall stud. CAUTION MEASURE AND TACK / TAPE UP THE TEMPLATES 1. Using a plumb line and (metal) measuring tape, find and mark the vertical center line on the back wall, as in Figure 22. 2. Find and mark one or two points where the studs are on the wall.
(Studs are normally 16 inches apart) Then measure and mark the stud locations. If you cannot find any wall stud, consult a local building contractor. 3. Line up the plumb line on the wall with the center line on the mounting plate. NOTE: Be sure the minimum width is 30 inches and the distance from the top of the wall template to the range or counter top is at least 30 inches. See Figure 22. 4. Center mounting plate in operating by lining up the plumb line on wall with centerline on mounting plate. Make sure the minimum width is 30 inches and that the top of the mounting plate is located a minimum of 30 inches above the cooking surface. See Figure 23. NOTE: If the cabinets are not plumb, adjust the mounting plate to the cabinets. If the front edge of the cabinet is lower than the back edge, adjust the mounting plate to be level with the cabinet front. 5. Measure the bottom of the upper cabinet frame. Trim the edges A, B and C on the upper cabinet template so that the template will fit on the bottom of the upper cabinet. If upper cabinet has a recessed frame, trim the template so it fits inside the recessed area. Align the centerline of the upper cabinet template with the centerline of the mounting plate, then securely tape or tack the upper cabinet template in place. See Figure 23.

Figure 22 upper cabinet template mounting plate Figure 23 INSTALLATION STEP 4: PREPARE THE WALL AND UPPER CABINET FOR INSTALLATION To avoid risk of personal injury, electrical shock or death:
Note where electrical outlets and electrical wires are before you drill into the wall. Locate and disconnect power to any electrical circuits that could be affected by installing this oven. WARNING To avoid risk of personal injury, electrical shock or death, cover the edge of the power supply cord hole with the power supply cord bushing. WARNING DRILL THE HOLES IN THE WALL AND UPPER CABINET. 1. Find the points on the mounting plate labeled A, B, C, and D. Drill a 3/16" diameter hole at any points that are over a wall stud. Drill a 3/4" diameter hole at any points over drywall. 2. Drill a 3/8" hole at points J, K, and N on the upper cabinet template. NOTE: If the bottom of the upper cabinet is recessed 3/4" or more, you will need 2"x2" filler blocks (not included) to provide additional support for the bolts. See Figure 24. Mark the center of each filler block and drill a 3/8"
diameter hole at the marks. Align filler blocks over the two openings in the top of the microwave oven cabinet and attach to cabinet with masking tape. See Figure 25. 3. Cut or drill a 2" diameter hole at the area marked M. Power supply cord hole on the upper cabinet template. If the upper cabinet is metal, you will need to cover the edge of the hole with the power supply cord bushing (supplied) to prevent damage to the cord from the rough metal edge. 4. Cut out the venting areas (with the saber saw):
Roof-Vented: cut out the shaded area marked L on the upper cabinet template. Room-Vented: go to STEP 5, INSTALL THE MOUNTING PLATE, located on page 18. 5. Complete whichever venting system you have chosen. Use caulking compound to seal the exterior wall or roof opening around the wall cap or roof cap.

cabinet front filler block cabinet bottom shelf Figure 24 Figure 25 filler block INSTALLATION STEP 5: INSTALL THE MOUNTING PLATE THE OVEN MUST BE CONNECTED TO AT LEAST ONE WALL STUD. 1. Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the 30 wide space. Use the mounting plate as the template for the rear wall. Place the mounting plate on the wall, making sure that the tabs are against the bottom of the cabinet. Line up the notch and center line on the mounting plate to the center line on the wall. 2. While holding the mounting plate with one hand, draw circles on the wall at holes A, B, C and D. Four holes must be used for mounting. If the holes are not used, the installation will not be secure. Installer must use these holes for proper installation. Use toggle bolts through these holes unless one of them lines up with a stud. Use a wood screw for studs. NOTE: Draw a fifth circle inside area E, through one of the bottom holes to match the location of a stud. For wall-vented: The oven requires a rear wall cutout opening for the rear wall duct and the exhaust adaptor must be attached to the mounting plate. See the next page on how to prepare the rear wall cutout opening and the exhaust adaptor/mounting plate for wall-vented. 3. Drill holes on the circles. If there is a stud, drill a 3 / 16 hole for lag screws. If there is no stud, drill a 5 / 8 hole for toggle bolts. Make sure to use at least 1 lag screw in a stud, and 4 toggle bolts in the drywall or the plaster. 4. Attach the plate to the wall.

OPERATION AUTO DEFROST Your microwave oven is preset with three defrost sequences. Using AUTO DEFROST is the best way to defrost frozen foods. The Auto Defrost Sequence Table below provides some basic guidelines for using the three defrost sequences. WEIGHT CONVERSION CHART To enter food weight in AUTO DEFROST, you must specify pounds and tenths of a pound. 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. Example: To defrost 1.2 lbs. of ground beef. EQUIVALENT OUNCE WEIGHT NUMBER AFTER DECIMAL 1. Touch AUTO DEFROST pad. 2. Choose food category. Category Meat Poultry Fish Touch pad number 1 2 3 3. Enter the weight. 4. Touch START pad. NOTE: When you touch the START pad. The display changes to defrost time count down. The oven will beep during the DEFROST cycle. At beep, open the door and turn food over, separate or rearrange the food. Remove any portions that have thawed. The oven will not STOP during the beep unless the door is opened. 5. Close the door and restart. When the defrost time is over, you will hear four beeps and END will display. NOTE: If you do not open the door, the display will resume the countdown. 1.6 3.2 4.0 4.8 6.4 8.0 9.6 11.2 12.0 12.8 14.4 16.0

.90 1.00 One-Quarter Pound One- Half Pound Three-Quarters Pound One Pound 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). Use AUTO DEFROST only for raw food. AUTO DEFROST gives best results when food to be thawed is a minimum of 0F (taken directly from a true freezer). If food has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a temperature of 5F or below, always program a lower food weight (for a shorter defrosting time) to prevent cooking the food. If the food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20 minutes, enter a lower food weight. The shape of the package alters the defrosting time. Shallow rectangular packets defrost more quickly than a deep block. Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated pieces defrost more easily. You can use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield foods like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails, but the foil must not touch the side of the oven. Foil causes arcing, which can damage the oven lining. Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to become warm. For better results, a preset standing time is included in the defrosting time.

COOKING GETTING THE BEST COOKING RESULTS To get the best results from your microwave oven, read and follow the guidelines below. 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. 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. FISH & SHELLFISH Cooking Fish and Shellfish: General Directions Prepare the fish for cooking.
- 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.
- The type of cover you use depends on how you cook. Poached fish needs a microwavable lid or vented plastic wrap.
- 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. Fish And Shellfish Cooking Table Turn over foods like pork chops, baking potatoes, 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. 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. 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.
- Always set the shortest cooking time. Fish is done 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 Fish and Shellfish Cooking Table below provides specific directions with Power Level and Cooking Time settings for most types of fish and shellfish. FISH POWER LEVEL COOKING TIME DIRECTIONS Fish fillets Fish steaks Whole fish Scallops Shrimp, shelled HI HI 7 HI HI 31/2-41/2 minutes 41/2-51/2 minutes 41/2-6 minutes 31/2-5 minutes 31/2-5 minutes Arrange fish in a single layer with thickest portion toward outside edge of 11/2 quart microwavable baking dish. Brush with melted butter and season, if desired. Cook covered with vented plastic wrap. Let stand covered 2 minutes. If you are cooking more than 1 lb. of fish, turn the fish halfway through cooking. Arrange in a single layer. Prepare as directed above, except stir instead of turning the shellfish.

COOKING MEAT Cooking Meat: General Directions Prepare the meat for cooking.
- Defrost completely.
- 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.
- 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. 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 5-10F during standing time. The Meat Cooking Table on the next page provides detailed directions, Power Level, and Cooking Time settings for most cuts of meat. APPETIZERS / SAUCES / SOUPS 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. Stir dips to distribute heat and shorten cooking time. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

RECOMMENDED UTENSIL 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. CHINA:
bowls, cups, serving plates and platters 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. PLASTIC:
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. Use plastic dishes, cups, 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. 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. ALUMINUM FOIL:
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. 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. TIGHTLY COVERED UTENSILS:
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. 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.

TROUBLE SHOOTING BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE Check the following list to be sure a service call is really necessary. A quick reference of this manual as well as reviewing additional information on items to check may prevent an unneeded service call. Problem If nothing on the oven operates:
Possible Causes check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. check if oven is properly connected to electric circuit in house. check that controls are set properly. If the oven interior light does not work:
the light bulb is loose or defective. If oven will not cook:
If oven takes longer than normal to cook or cooks too rapidly:
If the time of day clock does not always keep correct time:
If food cooks unevenly:
If food is undercooked:
If food is overcooked:
If arcing (sparks) occur:
check that control panel was programmed correctly. check that door is firmly closed. check that Start Pad was touched. check that timer wasnt started instead of a cook function. be sure the Power Level is programmed properly. check that the power cord is fully inserted into the outlet receptacle. be sure the oven is the only appliance on the electrical circuit. be sure food is evenly shaped. be sure food is completely defrosted before cooking. check placement of aluminum foil strips used to prevent overcooking. check recipe to be sure all directions (amount, time, & power levels) were correctly followed. be sure microwave oven is on a separate circuit. be sure food is completely defrosted before cooking. check recipe to be sure all directions (amount, power level, time, size of dish) were followed. be sure microwavable dishes were used. be sure wire twist ties werent used. be sure oven wasnt operated when empty. make sure metal rack (if used) is properly installed on 4 supports. If the Display shows a time counting down but the oven is not cooking:
check that door is firmly closed. check that timer wasnt started instead of a cooking function. Vent fan starts automatically. If the temperature gets too hot around the microwave oven, the fan in the vent hood will automatically turn on at the LOW setting to cool the oven. It may stay on up to an hour to cool the oven.

TROUBLE SHOOTING WARNING To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe personal injury or death, do not remove outer case at any time, Only an authorized servicer should remove outer case. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Question Answer Can I use a rack in my microwave oven so that I may reheat or cook in two levels at a time?
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. Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my microwave oven?
Usable metal includes aluminum foil for shielding (use small, flat pieces). Never allow metal to touch walls or door. Sometimes the door of my microwave oven appears 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 hear the sound of the transformer when the magnetron tube cycles on and off. 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. Use hot pads to remove food after cooking. Dish may not be microwave safe. What does standing time mean?
Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven?
How do I get the best results?
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. Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufacturers 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 manufacturers directions. Do not pop popcorn in glass utensils. 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 top vent.
