IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 8 When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following: WARNING – To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave energy: 9 1 2 “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” 3 “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” Read all instructions before using this appliance. Read and follow the 10 11 specific 12 13 14 15 found on page 1.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS springs of the safety interlock switches, thereby rendering them inoperable. 18 Keep the spatter shield clean at all times. Wipe the oven interior with a soft damp cloth after each use. If you leave grease or fat anywhere in the cavity it may overheat, smoke or even catch fire when next using the oven. 19 Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid.
3 4 5 6 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS It is better to UNDERCOOK RATHER THAN OVERCOOK foods. If food is undercooked, it can always be returned to the oven for further cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can be done. Always start with minimum cooking times. SMALL QUANTITIES of food or foods with LOW MOISTURE content can burn, dry out or catch on fire if cooked too long. Do NOT boil eggs in their shell. Pressure may build up and the eggs may explode.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS 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 electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

COOKING GUIDE THE PRINCIPLES OF MICROWAVE COOKING Microwaves are a form of high frequency radio waves similar to those used by a radio including AM, FM and CB. Electricity is converted into microwave energy by the magnetron tube. From the magnetron tube, microwave energy is transmitted to the oven where it is reflected, transmitted and absorbed by the food. Reflection: Microwaves are reflected by metal just as a ball is bounced off of a wall.
COOKING GUIDE (CONTINUED) Some Foods Do Not Microwave Well Eggs in Shells and hard boiled eggs can burst. Pancakes do not crust, but they reheat well. Fully-prepared, frozen pancakes are available for microwaving. Deep Fat Frying can cause burns. Bottles with narrow necks may shatter if heated. Pop Popcorn only in special microwave poppers. Do not use oil unless specified by the manufacturer, or heat longer than recommended. Never pop popcorn in paper bags or glass utensils or directly on the glass tray.
COOKING GUIDE (CONTINUED) MEATS Guide for Cooking Meats Roasts, chops, hamburgers and small cuts of tender meat cook beautifully in the microwave oven. Most roasts can be cooked rare, medium rare or even well done in less than one hour. Less tender cuts of meat such as pot roast can be simmered fork-tender in a sauce or gravy. Tough cuts that require slow cooking will do better in a conventional oven.
COOKING GUIDE (CONTINUED) EGGS & CHEESE Guide for Cooking Eggs & Cheese • CHEESE Cheese melts quickly and smoothly. When serving cheese as an appetizer, flavor is at peak when served at room temperature. Use a low power level for melting. Cheese melts best when shredded and heated with milk or other liquids. Stir cheese mixtures several times for even heating. • EGGS Eggs cook differently by microwave. The high fat content of egg yolks absorbs energy, so yolks cook faster than whites.
COOKING GUIDE (CONTINUED) VEGETABLES Guide for Cooking Fresh Vegetables Nutrition research indicates that many microwaved vegetables and fruits lose less water soluble vitamin C than when cooked conventionally. This is due to shorter cooking time and to the fact that less cooking water is needed when microwaving fruits and vegetables. Best of all, vegetables keep their fresh color, texture and flavor. Vegetables should be microwaved covered with vented plastic wrap or a casserole lid.
COOKING GUIDE (CONTINUED) SAUCES Guide for Cooking Sauces Sauces boil over rapidly, especially those that contain milk. As soon as the door is opened, cooking stops. If ingredients are not taken directly from the refrigerator, cooking time will be less than given in the recipe. Stir sauce quickly, about every 30 seconds to eliminate lumps. Be sure to use a container twice the size of the amount of liquid to prevent boiling over.
COOKING GUIDE (CONTINUED) PASTA & GRAINS Guide for Cooking Pasta and Grains Raw long grain rice takes time to rehydrate. Microwaving time is a little shorter than conventional, but the greatest advantage is the ease with which you can prepare fluffy rice without sticking or burning. Cooked rice and pasta reheat easily in the microwave oven without loss of flavor or texture. No extra water is needed to prevent sticking or drying, so there's no danger of overcooking rice and pasta or thinning sauces.
COOKING GUIDE (CONTINUED) Complete Meals from Table Leftovers Complete meals from leftovers can be prepared in advance. Foods can be frozen and ready for quick heating in the oven at any time. Choose foods suitable for freezing and put serving portions on paper, glass or china (no metal trim) plates. Wrap with recommended freezer paper and freeze quickly. When apportioning the servings of food on the plate, use approximately the same amount of each kind of food for more even heating.
