READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This equipment generates and uses ISM frequencies and if not installed and used properly in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, it may cause interference to radio and television reception. It has been type-tested and found to comply with limits for ISM Equipment pursuant to Part 18 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in particular installations. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the interference can be corrected by one or more of the following methods:
The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized modifi cation of this appliance. It is the responsibility of the user to correct such interference.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord that has a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The power cord must be plugged into an outlet that is properly grounded. If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your responsibility to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. The serial rating plate indicates the voltage and frequency the appliance is designed for.
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualifi ed electrician or service agent if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not connect your appliance to extension cords or together with another appliance in the same wall outlet. Do not splice the power cord. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualifi ed person in order to avoid hazard.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Liquids are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling due to the surface tension of the liquid. Visible bubbling will not always be present when the liquid is removed from the appliance. This could result in very hot liquids suddenly boiling over when a utensil or other item such as a tea bag is inserted into the liquid.
To reduce the risk of injury:
Arcing refers to sparks inside the microwave while it is in operation.
Arcing is caused by:
If arcing is present, stop operation and remove any metal or paper towels from the appliance.
Microwave Browning Dish:
Used to brown the exterior of small food items. Follow the directions provided with the browning dish.
Microwavable Plastic Wrap:
Used to retain steam. Leave a small opening to avoid a build up of steam. Do not place directly on food.
Glass and Ceramic Bowls and Dishes:
Use for heating or cooking.
Paper Plates and Cups:
Use for short term heating at low temperatures. Do not use recycled paper as they can contain metal and could ignite.
Paper Towels and Napkins: Use for short term heating and covering. Do not use recycled paper towels as they can contain metal and could ignite.
Wax Paper:
Use as a cover to prevent splattering.
Thermometers:
Only use those that are labeled "microwave safe" and follow all directions.
Ceramic, Porcelain, Plastic and Stoneware:
Only use if they are labeled "microwave safe".
Note: To check if a dish is safe for use in the microwave, place the empty dish in the appliance and microwave on high for 30 seconds. If the dish becomes very hot, it should not be used.
Glass Jars and Bottles:
Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave. It can shatter and cause damage or injury.
Paper Bags:
These are a fire hazard and could ignite. The only exception is popcorn bags, which are designed for microwave use.
Styrofoam Plates and Cups:
These can melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food.
Plastic Storage and Food Containers:
These can melt and ignite.
Metal Utensils:
These can cause arcing and damage to the appliance. Remove all metal before operation.
To achieve the best results when cooking in this appliance, follow the suggestions below.
Stir foods while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and will heat more quickly so stir from the outside of the dish toward the center.
Arrange unevenly shaped foods thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable so they receive more heat. To prevent overcooking, place delicate items toward the center of the turntable.
Turn food over midway through cooking to expose all parts to the microwave energy. This is important with large items and meat.
Foods cooked in a microwave build up internal heat and continue to cook for a few minutes after heating stops. Let foods stand to complete cooking, especially meats and liquids. All liquids should be allowed to stand for a few minutes after cooking and should be shaken or stirred before consuming.
Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture content should be covered and allowed to stand after cooking to allow the heat to disperse evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food to help it cook.
When the microwave is plugged in for the first time, the display will show "1:01". Use the number pad to enter the current time and then press the clock button to confirm
When setting the cook timer, the microwave will return to standby mode if there is no input within 25 seconds.
During operation:
The microwave will beep four times at the end of a cooking program and "END" will show on the display. The microwave will continue to beep every 2 minutes until the STOP/CLEAR button is pressed or the door is opened.
The clock can be set as a 12 or 24 hour clock.
During operation, press the CLOCK button to see the current time.
The microwave will beep when the timer is expired. Press the TIMER button while the timer is running to see how much time is remaining. Press the STOP/ CLEAR button to cancel the timer.
The numbers 1 through 6 on the number pad can be used to set the express cooking programs. Pressing one of the numbers 1 through 6 will run the microwave at 100% power for 1 to 6 minutes.
Press the +30SEC button to run the microwave for 30 seconds at 100% power. Press this button repeatedly and each press will add an additional 30 seconds to the cooking time.
To set the child lock, press and hold the STOP/CLEAR button for 3 seconds. The microwave will beep to indicate that the child lock is activated. While locked, the microwave cannot be used.
To cancel the child lock, press and hold the STOP/CLEAR button for 3 seconds. The microwave will beep to indicate that the child lock has been deactivated.

Turn off and unplug the appliance before performing any cleaning.
The inside of the appliance should be cleaned with a warm, damp cloth and mild detergents. Do not allow food splatters to build up on the inside of the appliance as this can affect the efficiency of the microwave and if sufficiently dirty, can ignite and cause fire.
The outside of the appliance should be cleaned with a warm, damp cloth. To avoid damage to internal components, do not allow any water to drip into the ventilation openings.
Clean the door and window on both sides, the door seals and the adjacent parts frequently with a damp cloth to remove any spills or splatters. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Do not allow the control panel to become wet. If necessary, clean the control panel with a damp cloth and then wipe dry.
The glass tray can be removed and cleaned in warm water and mild detergent or can be placed in a dishwasher.
The roller ring and oven floor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise or spilling. The roller ring can be cleaned in warm water and mild detergent or can be placed in a dishwasher. Ensure that the roller ring and glass tray are replaced in the proper position to avoid noise or spilling.
To remove odors from the microwave:
Inside the appliance there is a cardboard mica sheet protecting the magnetron. Do not remove this from the appliance as exposing the magnetron to food splatters can cause arcing or fire. If it becomes dirty, the mica sheet can be cleaned with a warm cloth.
