Safety  
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming  
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or  
extension cords are available and may be used with caution.  
Do not operate any other heating or cooking appliance beneath this  
appliance.  
Do not mount unit over or near any portion of a heating or cooking  
appliance.  
Do not mount over a sink.  
Do not store anything directly on top of the appliance when it is in  
operation.  
If materials inside oven should ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn  
the oven off and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the  
fuse or circuit breaker panel. If the door is opened, the fire may  
spread.  
Important Safety Instructions, continued  
Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use near water – for  
example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming  
pool, etc.  
Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food particles or spattered oils  
stuck to the oven walls or floor can cause paint damage and reduce  
the efficiency of the oven.  
Do not immerse cord or plug in water.  
Keep cord away from heated surfaces.  
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.  
When cleaning door and oven surfaces, use only mild, nonabrasive  
soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.  
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven:  
a. Do not overcook food. Watch appliance carefully if paper, plastic,  
or other combustible materials are inside.  
b. Remove wire twist-ties from plastic cooking bags before placing  
bags in oven.  
c. If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn  
the oven off, disconnect the power cord, or shut off the power at  
the fuse or circuit breaker panel.  
d. Do not use the oven compartment for storage purposes. Do not  
leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the oven when  
not in use.  
Do not try to preheat oven or operate while empty.  
Do not cook without the glass tray in place on the oven floor. Food will  
not cook properly without the tray.  
Do not defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked bottles. The  
containers can break.  
Dishes and containers can become hot. Handle with care.  
Carefully remove container coverings, directing steam away from  
hands and face.  
I
GROUNDING  
IMNSPTORRUTCATNIOTNS  
This appliance 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 electrical current. This  
appliance is equipped with a cord that includes a grounding wire  
and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet  
that is properly installed and grounded. Plug the three-prong  
power cord into a properly grounded outlet of standard 115-120  
voltage, 60 Hz. Your oven should be the only appliance on this  
circuit.  
Remove lids from baby food before heating. After heating baby food,  
stir well and test temperature by tasting before serving.

Safety  
Note:  
WARNING  
Connect the oven to a 20A circuit.  
When connecting the oven to a 15A circuit, make sure  
that circuit breaker is operable.  
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk  
of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or  
servicer if you do not understand the grounding  
instructions or if you are not sure if the appliance is  
properly grounded.  
Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated  
beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible  
bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the  
microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT  
IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN  
THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER  
UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.  
Use of Extension Cords  
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of  
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer  
cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if  
care is exercised in their use. If a long cord or extension cord is  
used:  
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should  
be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.  
2. The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord and it must  
be plugged into a 3-slot outlet.  
3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the  
counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or  
tripped over accidentally. If you use an extension cord, the interior  
light may flicker and the blower may vary when the microwave oven  
is on. Cooking times may be longer, too.  
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:  
1. Do not overheat the liquid.  
2. Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.  
3. Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.  
4. After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave  
oven for a short time before removing the container.  
5. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil  
into the container.  
WARNING  
Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the  
power cord under any circumstances.

Cooking Instructions  
Not Recommended  
Cooking Utensils  
Recommended Use  
Glass jars and bottles — Regular glass is too thin to be used in a  
microwave, and can shatter.  
Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes — Use for heating or  
Paper bags — These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that  
are designed for microwave use.  
cooking.  
Microwavable browning dish — Use to brown the exterior of small  
items such as steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions  
provided with your browning dish.  
Styrofoam plates and cups — These can melt and leave an  
unhealthy residue on food.  
Plastic storage and food containers — Containers such as  
margarine tubs can melt in the microwave.  
Microwavable plastic wrap — Use to retain steam. Leave a small  
opening for some steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on  
the food.  
Metal utensils — These can damage your oven. Remove all metal  
before cooking.  
Wax paper — Use as a cover to prevent spattering.  
Paper towels and napkins — Use for short-term heating and  
covering; they absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do  
not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and can  
catch fire.  
Testing Utensils  
If you are not sure whether a dish is microwave-safe or not, you can per-  
form this test:  
Paper plates and cups — Use for short-term heating at low  
temperatures. Do not use recycled paper, which may contain metal  
and can catch fire.  
1
Fill a glass measuring cup with water and put it inside your oven,  
next to the dish you want to test.  
Thermometers — Use only those labeled “Microwave Safe” and  
follow all directions. Check the food in several places. Conventional  
thermometers may be used once the food has been removed from  
the oven.  
Limited Use  
Aluminum foil — Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of  
exposed areas. Using too much foil can damage your oven, so be  
careful.  
Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware — Use these if they are  
labeled “Microwave Safe”. If they are not labeled, test them to make  
sure they can be used safely. Never use dishes with metallic trim.  
2
Press the One Minute + button once to heat them for one minute at  
High power.  
Plastic — Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe”. Other plastics can  
melt.  
The water should be warm and the dish you are testing should be cool. If  
the dish is warm, then it is absorbing microwave energy and is not  
acceptable for use in the microwave.  
Straw, wicker, and wood — Use only for short-term heating, as  
they can be flammable.

Cooking Instructions  
Cooking Techniques  
Stirring  
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute  
heat evenly. Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and  
heats more quickly, so stir from the outside to the center. The oven will  
turn off when you open the door to stir your food.  
General Tips  
Dense foods, such as potatoes, take longer to heat than lighter  
foods. Foods with a delicate texture should be heated at a low power  
level to avoid becoming tough.  
Altitude and the type of cookware you are using can affect cooking  
time. When using a new recipe, use the minimum cooking time and  
check the food occasionally to prevent overcooking.  
Arrangement  
Foods with a non-porous skin such as potatoes or hot dogs, should  
be pierced to prevent bursting.  
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with  
the thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable where they  
receive more microwave energy. To prevent overcooking, place thin or  
delicate parts toward the center of the turntable.  
Frying with heating oil or fat is not recommended. Fat and oil can  
suddenly boil over and cause severe burns.  
Some ingredients heat faster than others. For example, the jelly  
inside a jelly doughnut will be hotter than the dough. Keep this in  
mind to avoid burns.  
Shielding  
Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking.  
Areas that need shielding include poultry wing-tips, the ends of poultry  
legs, and corners of square baking dishes. Use only small amounts of  
aluminum foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven.  
Home canning in the microwave oven is not recommended because  
all harmful bacteria may not be destroyed by the microwave heating  
process.  
Turning  
Although microwaves do not heat the cookware, the heat is often  
transferred to the cookware. Always use pot holders when removing  
food from the microwave and instruct children to do the same.  
Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to micro-  
wave energy. This is especially important with large items such as  
roasts.  
Making candy in the microwave is not recommended as candy can  
heat to very high temperatures. Keep this in mind to avoid injury.  
Standing  
Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue to  
cook for a few minutes after the oven stops. Let foods stand to complete  
cooking, especially foods such as roasts and whole vegetables. Roasts  
need this time to complete cooking in the center without overcooking the  
outer areas. All liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken  
or stirred when cooking is complete. Let liquids stand a moment before  
serving. When heating baby food, stir well and test the temperature  
before serving.  
Adding Moisture  
Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven  
in moisture content should be covered or allowed to stand so that the  
heat disperses evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food to help it  
cook.

Cooking Instructions  
Auto Sensor Cook  
Important  
The Auto Sensor allows you to cook your food automatically by detect-  
ing the amount of moisture generated from the food while cooking.  
After installing the oven and plugging into an electrical outlet, do not  
unplug the power cord. The moisture sensor needs time to stabilize  
in order to cook satisfactorily.  
When cooking food, many kinds of moisture are generated. The Auto  
Sensor determines the proper time and power level by detecting the  
moisture from the food, eliminating the need to set the cooking time  
and power level.  
It is not advisable to use the auto sensor cooking feature on a  
continuous cooking operation, i.e. one cooking operation  
immediately after another.  
When you cover a container with its lid or plastic wrap during Sensor  
Cooking, the Auto Sensor will detect the moisture generated after  
the container has been saturated with steam.  
Install the oven in a well ventilated location for proper cooling and  
airflow and to ensure the sensor will operate accurately.  
To avoid poor results, do not use the Auto sensor when the room  
ambient temperature is too high or too low.  
Shortly before cooking ends, the remaining cooking time will begin  
its count down. This will be a good time for you to rotate or stir the  
food for even cooking if it is necessary.  
Do not use volatile detergent to clean your oven. Gas resulting from  
this detergent may affect the sensor.  
Before auto sensor cooking food may be seasoned with herbs,  
spices or browning sauces. A word of caution though, salt or sugar  
may cause burn spots on food so these ingredients should be added  
after cooking.  
Avoid placing the oven near high moisture or gas emitting  
appliances, since this will interfere with the proper performance of  
the Auto Sensor.  
Always keep the inside of the oven clean. Wipe all spills with a damp  
cloth.  
The More/Less function pad is used to increase or decrease cooking  
time. You should use this function to adjust the degree of cooking to  
suit your personal taste.  
This oven is designed for household use only.  
Utensils & Cover For Sensor Cooking  
To obtain good cooking results with this function, follow the  
directions for selecting appropriate containers and covers in the  
charts in this book.  
Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with their lids  
or with plastic wrap. When using plastic wrap, turn back one corner  
to allow steam to escape at the proper rate.  
Always cover with the lid intended for the utensil being used. If the  
utensil does not have its own lid, use plastic wrap.  
Fill containers at least half full.  
Foods that require stirring or rotating should be stirred or turned  
toward the end of the Sensor Cook cycle, after the time has started  
to count down on the display.

Auto Defrosting Guide  
Check foods when the oven signals. After the final stage, small sections  
may still be icy; let them stand to continue thawing. Do not defrost until  
all ice crystals have thawed. Shielding roasts and steaks with small  
pieces of foil prevents the edges from cooking before the center of the  
food has defrosted. Use narrow, flat, smooth strips of aluminum foil to  
cover the edges and thinner sections of the food.  
Follow the instructions below when defrosting different types of food.

Appendix  
Troubleshooting Guide  
Before you call a repair person for your oven, check this list of possible  
problems and solutions.  
Using your microwave causes TV or radio interference.  
This is similar to the interference caused by other small appliances,  
such as hair dryers. Move your microwave further away from other  
appliances, like your TV or radio.  
Neither the oven’s display nor the oven operate.  
Properly insert the plug into a grounded outlet.  
If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch, make sure the wall switch  
is turned on.  
Care and Cleaning  
Remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten seconds, then plug it in  
again.  
Follow these instructions to clean and care for your oven.  
Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuse.  
Plug another appliance into the outlet; if the other appliance doesn’t  
work, have a qualified electrician repair the outlet.  
Plug the oven into a different outlet.  
Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids  
can stick to the oven walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently.  
Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not  
use harsh detergents or abrasives.  
To help loosen baked on food particles or liquids, heat two cups of  
water (add the juice of one lemon if you desire to keep the oven  
fresh) in a four-cup measuring glass at High power for five minutes  
or until boiling. Let stand in the oven for one or two minutes.  
Remove the glass tray from the oven when cleaning the oven or tray.  
To prevent the tray from breaking, handle it carefully and do not put it  
in water immediately after cooking. Wash the tray carefully in warm  
sudsy water or in the dishwasher.  
The oven’s display works, but the power won’t come  
on.  
Make sure the door is closed securely.  
Check to see if packing material or other material is stuck to the door  
seal.  
Check for door damage.  
Press Cancel twice and re-enter all cooking instructions.  
The power goes off before the set time has elapsed.  
Clean the outside surface of the oven with soap and a damp cloth.  
Dry with a soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts of the  
oven, don’t let water seep into the openings.  
If there has not been a power outage, remove the plug from the  
outlet, wait ten seconds, then plug it in again. If there was a power  
outage, the time indicator will display “ ENJOY YOUR COOKING - - -  
PRESS MY CHOICE FOR PERSONAL OPTIONS” Reset the clock  
and any cooking instructions.  
Wash the door window with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use  
a soft cloth to avoid scratching.  
If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a  
soft cloth. Steam can accumulate when operating the oven in high  
humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage.  
Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuse.  
The food is cooking too slowly.  
Never operate the oven without food in it; this can damage the  
magnetron tube or glass tray. You may wish to leave a cup of water  
in the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is  
accidentally turned on.  
Make sure the oven is on its own 20 amp circuit line. Operating  
another appliance on the same circuit can cause a voltage drop. If  
necessary, move the oven to its own circuit.  
You see sparks or arcing.  
Remove any metallic utensils, cookware, or metal ties. If using foil,  
use only narrow strips and allow at least one inch between the foil  
and interior oven walls.  
If you have a problem you cannot solve,  
please call our service line:

The turntable makes noises or sticks.  
(1-866-587-2002 CANADA)

Make sure the turntable and roller ring are positioned correctly.
