OPERATION  
COOKING AT HIGH COOK  
POWER  
COOKING WITH MORE THAN  
ONE COOK CYCLE  
For best results, some recipes call for one Power Level  
for a certain length of time, and another Power Level  
for another length of time. Your oven can be set to  
change from one to another automatically, for up to  
three cycles if the first heating cycle is defrost or the  
last at 0% power.  
Example: To cook food for 8 minutes 30 seconds.  
1. Enter the cook time.  
2. Touch START pad.  
When the cook time is over,  
you will hear four beeps and  
COOK END will display.  
Example: To cook food for 3 minutes at 100% power and  
then 70% power for 7 minutes 30 seconds.  
1. Enter the first cook time.

INSTRUCTIONS  
POPCORN  
POPCORN lets you pop commercially packaged  
microwave popcorn. Pop only one package at a time.  
For best results, use fresh bags of popcorn.  
Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your favorite  
foods without selecting cooking times and power levels.  
The oven automatically determines required cooking  
time for each food item. When the internal sensor  
detects a certain amount of humidity coming from the  
food, it will tell the oven how much longer to heat. The  
display will show the remaining heating time. For best  
results for cooking by Sensor, following these  
recommendations.  
Example: To pop popcorn.  
1. Touch POPCORN pad.  
When the cook time is over,  
you will hear four beeps and  
COOK END will display.  
1. Food cooked with the sensor system should be at  
normal storage temperature.  
CAUTION  
2. Glass Tray and outside of container should be dry to  
assure best cooking results.  
Do not leave microwave oven unattended while  
popping.  
When popping commercially packaged popcorn,  
Remove the rack from the oven; Do not place the  
bag of microwave popcorn on the rack or under the  
rack.  
3. Foods should always be covered loosely with  
microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a lid.  
4. Do not open the door or touch the STOP/CLEAR key  
during the sensing time. When sensing time is over,  
the oven beeps and the remaining cooking time will  
appear in the display window.  
At this time you can open the door to stir, turn, or  
rearrange the food.  
SENSOR COOKING GUIDE  
Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good  
Sensor cooking results.  
1. Always use microwavable containers and cover them  
with lids or vented plastic wrap.  
2. Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can  
prevent steam from escaping and cause food to  
overcook.  
3. Match the amount of the size of the container.  
Fill containers at least half full for best results.  
POTATO  
The POTATO button lets you bake one or several potatoes  
without selecting cooking times and power levels.  
4. Be sure the outside of the cooking container and the  
inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing  
food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into  
steam can mislead the sensor.  
NOTE:  
• Before baking, pierce potato with fork severral times.  
• After baking, let stand for 5 minutes.  
Example: To cook 2 potatoes.  
1. Touch POTATO pad.

DEFROSTING TIPS  
Q DEFROST  
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).  
The Q DEFROST feature provides you with the rapid  
defrosting method for 1.0 pound ground beef. The oven  
automatically sets the defrosting time for ground beef.  
Before starting, make sure you have removed any of  
the metal twist-ties which often come with frozen food  
bags, and replace them with strings or elastic bands.  
Example: To defrost ground beef.  
Open containers such as cartons before they are  
placed in the oven.  
1. Touch Q DEFROST pad.  
Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging.  
If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place it in a  
suitable container.  
2. Touch START pad.  
Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as sausage.  
Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even  
defrosting.  
Always underestimate defrosting time. If defrosted  
food is still icy in the center, return it to the microwave  
oven for more defrosting.  
The length of defrosting time varies according to how  
solidly the food is frozen.  
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 easily.  
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.  
For better results, let food stand after defrosting.  
(For more information on standing time, see the  
Microwave Cooking Tipssection.)  
Turn over food during defrosting or standing time.  
Break apart and remove food as required.

GETTING THE BEST COOKING  
RESULTS  
To get the best results from your microwave oven, read  
and follow the guidelines below.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
- Always set the shortest cooking time. Fish is done  
- 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.

pink to red and the flesh is opaque and firm.  
- The type of cover you use depends on how you  
cook. Poached fish needs a microwavable lid or  
vented plastic wrap.  
The Fish and Shellfish Cooking Table below provides  
specific directions with Power Level and Cooking  
Time settings for most types of fish and shellfish.  
- 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.

Meat  
Cooking Appetizers: Tips and  
Techniques  
Cooking Meat: General Directions  
Prepare the meat for cooking.  
- Defrost completely.  
Recommended  
- 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.  
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.  
- 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.  
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.  
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 5-10˚F during  
standing time.  
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.  
The Meat Cooking Table on the next page provides  
detailed directions, Power Level, and Cooking Time  
settings for most cuts of meat.  
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.

CARE AND CLEANING  
For best performance and safety, keep the oven clean  
inside and outside. Take special care to keep the inner  
door panel and the oven front frame free of food or  
grease build-up.  
Never use rough powder or pads. Wipe the  
microwave oven inside and out, including the hood  
bottom cover, with a soft cloth and a warm (not hot)  
mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry. Use a  
chrome cleaner and polish on chrome, metal, and  
aluminum surfaces. Wipe spatters immediately with a  
wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or  
bacon. Clean your oven weekly or more often, if  
needed.  
5. Reconnect power or plug in microwave oven.  
NOTE: Do not operate the hood without the filter in place.  
CHARCOAL FILTER REPLACEMENT  
If your oven is vented inside, the charcoal filter should  
be replaced every 6 to 12 months, and more often if  
necessary. The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned.  
To order a new charcoal filter, contact the Parts  
Department at your nearest Authorized Service  
Center.  
METAL RACK  
Wash the metal rack with a mild soap and a soft or  
nylon scrub brush. Dry completely.  
Do not use abrasive scrubbers or cleaners to clean  
rack.  
1. Disconnect power or unplug microwave oven.  
2. Remove the two vent grille mounting screws.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS  
Q. Can I use a rack in my microwave oven so that I  
may reheat or cook in two levels at a time?  
A. 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.  
Q. Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my  
microwave oven?  
A. Usable metal includes aluminum foil for shielding  
(use small, flat pieces), and shallow foil trays (if tray  
is 3/4 inch deep and filled with food to absorb  
microwave energy). Never allow metal to touch  
walls or door.  
2. Remove the bulb cover mounting screws.  
3. Replace bulb(s) with candelabra-base 35 watt bulb.  
4. Replace bulb cover, and mounting screw.  
5. Reconnect power or plug in microwave oven.  
Q. Sometimes the door of my microwave oven  
appears wavy. Is this normal?  
A. This appearance is normal and does not affect the

operation of your oven.  
Q. The glass tray does not moving.  
A. The glass tray is not correctly in place. It should be  
correct-side up and sitting firmly on the center hub.  
The support is not operating correctly. Remove the  
glass tray and restart the oven. Cooking without  
the glass tray can give you poor results.  
Q. Why does the dish become hot when I  
microwave food in it? I thought that this should  
not happen.  
A. As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to  
the dish. Use hot pads to remove food after  
cooking.  
4. Lift up the bulb holder.  
Q. What does standing time mean?  
A. 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.  
Q. Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven?  
How do I get the best results?  
A. 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.  
5. Replace bulb with a candelabra-base 35 watt bulb.  
6. Replace the bulb holder, if damaged.  
7. Slide the bottom of the vent grille into place. Push  
the bottom until it snaps into place. Replace the  
mounting screws.  
Q. Why does steam come out of the air exhaust  
vent?  
A. Steam is normally produced during cooking. The  
microwave oven has been designed to vent this  
steam out the top vent.  
8. Reconnect power or plug in microwave oven.

MAINTENANCE  
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.  
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.  
CHINA:  
bowls, cups, serving plates and platters  
without metallic trim.  
ALUMINUM FOIL:  
PLASTIC:  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Use plastic dishes, cups,  
TIGHTLY COVERED UTENSILS:  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.

circuit breaker.  
If food is undercooked:  
check recipe to be sure all directions (amount, time, &  
check if oven is properly connected to electric circuit  
in house.  
check that controls are set properly.  
power levels) were correctly followed.  
be sure microwave oven is on a separate circuit.  
be sure food is completely defrosted before cooking.  
If the oven interior light does not works:  
If food is overcooked:  
the light bulb is loose or defective.  
check recipe to be sure all directions (amount, power  
level, time, size of dish) were followed.  
If oven will not cook:  
check that control panel was programmed correctly.  
check that door is firmly closed.  
check that Start Pad was pressed.  
check that probe was inserted correctly  
into receptacle.  
If arcing (sparks) occur:  
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.  
check that timer wasnt started instead of a cook  
function.  
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.  
If oven takes longer than normal to cook or cooks  
too rapidly:  
be sure the Power Level is programmed properly.  
If the time of day clock does not always keep  
correct time:  
check that the power cord is fully inserted into the  
outlet receptacle.  
be sure the oven is the only appliance on the  
electrical circuit.
