Model and Serial Number Plate Parts and Features Not Shown Turntable Grill Rack Skillette Pan and Handle Oven Cavity Coating The oven has a special easy-to-clean and durable coating which resists soil buildup by making cleaning easier than in conventional microwave ovens. For cleaning information, see General Cleaning in the Oven Care section. Ultra Heatwave Technology The microwave system uses Ultra Heatwave Technology, which delivers a constant stream of microwave power true high, medium and low power. Typically, microwave ovens operate on HIGH power only. For example, to achieve a 50% power level (medium) in a typical microwave oven, the oven operates 50% of the time at HIGH power and 50% of the time OFF. Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock. 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 or circuit breaker is recommended.) It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS 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. 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. 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 a permanently connected appliance:

This appliance 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 appliance. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 6 In contrast, microwave ovens utilizing Ultra Heatwave Technology deliver the selected power level continuously. This constant stream of microwave power helps to minimize overcooking of foods and messy food spatters. Additionally, the oven uses a 1,000-watt halogen bulb with a 500-

watt quartz bulb together to serve as the grill element for various cooking functions. When this element is in use, it produces a bright light in the oven cavity, and causes the cavity and door to become hot. The use of oven mitts is recommended. Sensor Cooking The microwave system with Ultra Heatwave Technology features sensor cooking functions. A humidity sensor in the oven cavity detects moisture and humidity emitted from food as it heats. The sensor adjusts cooking times to various types and amounts of food. Sensor cooking takes the guesswork out of microwave cooking. The oven must be plugged in for at least 3 minutes prior to sensor cooking. Turntable 1 2 3 4 1. Turntable 2. Hub 3. Support 4. Shaft The turntable can rotate in either direction to help cook food more evenly. Do not operate the oven without the turntable in place. To order any of the parts, call 1-800-4-MY-HOME.

(26 cm) plates that are side-by-side. 1. Touch TURNTABLE ON/OFF. TURNTABLE OFF will appear in the display. The turntable will turn back on automatically when cooking is over or OFF/CANCEL is touched. Cooking Rack The cooking rack is ideal for two-level cooking. It provides extra cavity space for cooking 2 or more containers at the same time. Insert the rack securely into the rack supports on the side walls of the oven. To reorder rack, call 1-800-4-MY-HOME. See Replacement Parts section for part number. Rack will become hot. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling. Do not allow the rack to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling or floor. Do not use metal cookware, utensils, or a browning dish with the rack. Do not let food container on rack touch the top or sides of the oven. Do not use Skillette Pan on rack. Remove rack before using Grill function. Remove rack before using Popcorn function. The rack is designed specifically for this oven. Do not use it in any other oven. Do not cook food directly on the rack. Always use a microwave-safe container. Use the rack only when cooking on 2 levels. Do not store it in the oven. Damage to the oven could result if someone accidentally turns on the oven. Skillette Pan and Handle The Skillette Pan, with a non-stick surface and a detachable handle, has been specially designed for microwave use, and is ideal for pan-frying (pan-browning) foods in the oven. The Skillette Pan is also used as a drip pan for grilling. Use the handle to grasp the pan. Place gripping end on the edge of pan, squeeze handle and lift pan.

To deactivate Demo Mode, touch OFF/CANCEL. 12 Never lean on or allow children to swing on the oven door. Do not operate microwave oven when it is empty. Heated liquids can splash out during and after heating. Use of a wooden stir stick placed in the cup or bowl during heating may help to avoid this. The turntable must be in place and correct side up when oven is in use. Do not use if turntable is chipped or broken. Call 1-800-4-MY-HOME to reorder. See Replacement Parts section for part numbers. Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in the oven. Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including brown paper bags and newspaper should not be dried in the oven. Do not use the microwave oven for canning, sterilizing or deep frying. The oven cannot maintain appropriate temperatures. Paraffin wax will not melt in the oven because it does not absorb microwaves. Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from oven. Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended cook time, potatoes should be slightly firm. Let potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing. Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time. Food Characteristics When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting temperature, composition and density of the food affect cooking results. Amount of Food The more food heated at once the longer the cook time. Check for doneness and add small increments of time if necessary. Size and Shape Smaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger pieces and uniformly shaped foods cook more evenly than irregularly shaped food. Starting Temperature Room temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated foods and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods. Composition and Density Foods high in fat and sugar will reach a higher temperature and heat faster than other foods. Heavy, dense foods, such as meat and potatoes, require a longer cook time than the same size of a light, porous food, such as cake. Cooking Guidelines MATERIAL RECOMMENDATIONS Pottery and Clay Follow manufacturers recommendations. Covering Covering food helps retain moisture, shorten cook time and reduce spattering. Use the lid supplied with cookware. If lid is not available, wax paper, paper towels or plastic wrap approved for microwaves may be used. Plastic wrap should be turned back at 1 corner to provide an opening to vent steam. Stirring and Turning Stirring and turning redistributes heat evenly to avoid overcooking the outer edges of food. Stir from outside to center. If possible, turn food over from bottom to top. Arranging If heating irregularly shaped or different sized foods, the thinner parts and smaller sizes should be arranged toward the center. If cooking several items of the same size and shape, place them in a ring pattern, leaving the center of the ring empty. Piercing Before heating, use a fork or small knife to pierce or prick foods that have a skin or membrane, such as potatoes, egg yolks, chicken livers, hot dogs and sausage. Prick in several places to allow steam to vent. Shielding Use small, flat pieces of aluminum foil to shield the thin pieces of irregularly shaped foods, bones and foods such as chicken wings, leg tips and fish tail. See Aluminum Foil and Metal first. Standing Time Food will continue to cook by the natural conduction of heat even after the microwave cycle ends. The length of standing time depends on the volume and density of the food. Cookware and Dinnerware Cookware and dinnerware must fit on the turntable. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling because any dish may become hot from heat transferred from the food. Do not use cookware and dinnerware with gold or silver trim. Use the following chart as a guide, then test before using. MATERIAL RECOMMENDATIONS Aluminum Foil, Metal Browning Dish Ceramic Glass, Glass China, Earthenware See Aluminum Foil and Metal section. Bottom must be at least in. (5 mm) above the turntable. Follow manufacturers recommendations. Acceptable for use. Follow manufacturers recommendations. Melamine Follow manufacturers recommendations. Paper Towels, Dinnerware, Napkins Plastic Wraps, Bags, Covers, Dinnerware, Containers Use non-recycled and those approved by the manufacturer for microwave oven use. Use those approved by the manufacturer for microwave oven use. Styrofoam Do not use in oven. Straw, Wicker, Wooden Containers Do not use in oven. Wax Paper Acceptable for use. To Test Cookware or Dinnerware for Microwave Use:

1. Put cookware or dinnerware in oven with 1 cup (250 mL) of water beside it. 2. Cook at 100% cooking power for 1 minute. Do not use cookware or dinnerware if it becomes hot and the water stays cool. Aluminum Foil and Metal Always use oven mitts or pot holders when removing dishes from the microwave oven. Aluminum foil and some metal can be used in the oven. If not used properly, arcing (a blue flash of light) can occur and cause damage to the oven. OK for Use Racks and bakeware supplied with the oven, aluminum foil for shielding, and approved meat thermometers may be used with the following guidelines:

Never allow aluminum foil or metal to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling or floor. Always use the turntable. Never allow contact with another metal object during cooking. Do Not Use Metal cookware and bakeware, gold, silver, pewter, non-

approved meat thermometers, skewers, twist ties, foil liners such as sandwich wrappers, staples and objects with gold or silver trim or a metallic glaze should not be used in the oven. 13 Cooking Power Many recipes for microwave cooking specify which cooking power to use by percent, name or number. For example, 70%=7=Medium-High. Use the following chart as a general guide for the suggested cooking power of specific foods. PERCENT/
