    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. 
    ■  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. 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.

    MICROWAVE OVEN USE
    A magnetron in the oven produces microwaves which reflect off 
    the metal floor, walls and ceiling and pass through the turntable 
    and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are attracted 
    to and absorbed by fat, sugar and water molecules in the food, 
    causing them to move, producing friction and heat which cooks 
    the food.
    ■Never lean on or allow children to swing on the oven door.
    ■Do not operate microwave oven when it is empty.
    ■The turntable must be in place and correct side up when 
    oven is in use. Do not use if turntable is chipped or broken. 
    See “Assistance or Service” section to reorder.
    ■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
    Covering
    Covering food helps retain moisture, shorten cook time and 
    reduce spattering. Use the lid supplied with cookware. If a lid is 
    not available, wax paper, paper towels or plastic wrap approved 
    for microwave ovens may be used. Plastic wrap should be turned 
    back at one 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. 
    						
    							9
    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.
    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 (if supplied), 
    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-
