WARNING
Improper use of the grounding can result in electric shock. To avoid risk of electrical shock or death, this oven must be grounded and plug must not be altered.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Oven MUST be grounded.

In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This oven is equipped with a cordhaving a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The must plugged into an outlet that is properly insralled and grounded. See installation instructions. Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the oven is properly grounded. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-pronged grounding plug and a 3-slot.This oven should be plugged into aseparate 60 hertz circuit with the electrical rating as shown in specifications table. When the oven is on a circuit with other equipment, an increase in cooking times may be required and fuses can be blown. Microwave operates on standard household current, 120V.

WARNING

  • A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
  • Longer cord sets or extension cords may be used if care
  • The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord set should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
  • The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
  • The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over, snagged, or pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Sensor Cook Operating Tips

The Sensor Cook categories are designed to detect the increasing humidity released by the food during the cooking process. The microwave oven sensor will automatically adjust the cooking time to the type and amount of food. The food categories that are controlled with the humidity sensor are

Key Food
Sensor Cook x1 Frozen Breakfast 8-12oz
Sensor Cook x2 Ground Meat
Sensor Cook x3 Fish Seafood
Sensor Cook x4 Chicken Breast

For best results, do not use one of the Sensor Cook categories twice in succession on the same food portion. This may result in severely overcooked or burnt food. If the food appears to be undercooked, use one of the Easy Set pads or cook time pads to add more time. Additional sensor cook suggestion.Never start with less than 4 oz. of food.

  • Use proper containers and covers for best sensor cooking results.
  • Always use microwave-safe containers.
  • Never usetight sealing plastic containers.
  • They will prevent steam from escaping and this will mislead the sensor, usually causing the food to overcook.

Be sure the outside of the cooking containers and the cavity of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Excessive moisture turning into steam that does not result from the food cooking can mislead the sensor.

Suppose you want to cook Frozen Breakfast
  1. Press the Sensor Cook pad.
  2. Press START/+30sec pad.
Suppose you want to cook Fish Seafood
  • Press the Sensor Cook pad three times
  • Press START/+30sec pad.

The reheat feature is designed to detect the increasing humidity released by the food during the cooking process. The microwave oven sensor will automatically adjust the cooking time to the type and amount of food.

Key Selection Amount
Reheat x1 Dinner Plate 1 – 2 plates
Reheat x2 Soup – Sauce 1 cup
Reheat x3 Casserole 10.5oz
Notes concerning sensor reheat
  • For casseroles, add 2 – 3 tablespoons of liquid, cover with lid or vented plastic wrap. Stir when instructed from display.
  • For canned foods, empty contents of can into a casserole dish or serving bowl. Cover dish with lid or vented plastic wrap. Let stand a few minutes before serving.

Care & Cleaning

Cleaning suggestions

For best performance and for safety reasons, keep the oven clean inside and outside. Take special care to keep the inner door panel and oven frame free of food and grease buildup. Never use rough scouring powder or pads on the microwave. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out with a soft cloth and warm (not hot) mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe completely dry. Wipe splatters immediately with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking greasy foods like chicken or bacon. Follow these instructions to clean and care for your microwave oven

  • Keep the inside (cavity) 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, clean cloth and mild detergent.
  • DO NOT use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  • To help loosen baked-on food particles or liquids, heat 2 cups of water add the juice of 1 lemon if you desire to keep the oven smelling fresh
  • in a 4 cup measuring glass at High power for 5 minutes or until boiling.
  • Let stand in oven cavity for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Remove the glass turntable tray from the oven when cleaning the oven cavity or tray.
  • To prevent the glass turntable from breaking, handle with care and do not put it in water immediately after cooking.
  • Wash the turntable tray with mild detergent.
  • Clean the outside surface of the microwave with mild detergent and a clean damp cloth.
  • Dry with a clean soft cloth.
  • To prevent damage to the operating parts of the oven, do not let water seep into any vents or openings.
  • Wash the oven door window with very mild soap and water.
  • Be sure to use a soft clean 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.
  • Never operate the oven without food in the oven cavity; this can damage the magnetron tube or glass tray.
