All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.

Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer’s recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.

Display When power is first supplied to the microwave oven, a “:” will blink in the display. Touch CANCEL/OFF to stop the blinking. If the “:” blinks in the display at any other time, a power failure has occurred. Touch CANCEL/OFF and reset the clock if needed. When the microwave oven is in use, the display shows cooking power, quantities, weights and/or prompts. When the microwave oven is not in use, the display shows the time of day.
Demo Mode The Demo Mode is ideal for learning how to use the microwave oven. When set, functions can be entered without actually turning on the magnetron. The microwave oven light will come on, the fan will run, and the turntable will rotate. When the microwave oven is turned on while in Demo Mode, “no” and then “HEAt” will appear in the display. To Turn On/Off: The microwave oven must be off. Open the door, then touch and hold COOK for 5 seconds. Three short tones will sound. Repeat to exit Demo Mode.
Cooking Guidelines Covering Covering food helps retain moisture, shorten cook time and reduce spattering. Use the lid supplied with cookware. If a lid is not available, wax paper, paper towels or plastic wrap approved for microwave ovens may be used. Plastic wrap should be turned back at one corner to provide an opening to vent steam. Condensation on the door and cavity surfaces is normal during heavy cooking.
Aluminum Foil and Metal Always use oven mitts or pot holders when removing dishes from the microwave oven. Aluminum foil and some metal can be used in the microwave oven. If not used properly, arcing (a blue flash of light) can occur and cause damage to the microwave oven.
