Microwave Owner’s Manual PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY (a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks. (b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces. (c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged.
Important Safety Instructions 14) Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter. 15) See surface, door cleaning instructions on page 19. 16) To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity: i) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking. ii) Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.
Microwave Owner’s Manual 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 plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. WARNING – Improper use of the grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.
Important Safety Instructions Cooking Accessories (not included with Microwave) Remarks Plastic containers Use microwave-safe containers only. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Containers should be labeled “Microwave-Safe.” Some plastic containers soften as the food inside gets hot. “Boiling bags” and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced, or vented as directed by package. Plastic wrap Microwave-safe only. Use to cover food during cooking to retain moisture.
Microwave Owner’s Manual 1. Introducing the Beyond™ Microwave Oven Your Beyond Microwave Oven delivers the ultimate ease of use and convenience in microwave cooking.

Microwave Owner’s Manual • Very moist foods cook more evenly than dryer foods. Foods with a low moisture content should be covered during cooking. Allowed the food to stand after cooking so that the heat can disperse evenly. • Stirring or turning foods during cooking will help to distribute the heat evenly throughout the food and will prevent overcooking on the edges of the food. If possible, stir the food before serving. • The edge of the cooking container gets more microwave energy than the center.
Reference • Recommended cooking times for most foods are set until the food is tender, hot and steamy, no burnt edges and/ or food is ready to eat, or approximately 165°F unless otherwise stated on the package.. • Kids Meals need to cook to 165°F unless the package instucts otherwise. Food will be HOT, adult supervision recommended.

This will reduce the grilling time and help to keep the meat or poultry from drying out while cooking. • When freezer packages stick to frozen foods, heat on high power for 15 seconds. Allow the food to stand for 3 to 5 minutes before removing it from the package. • To scald a cup of milk, heat on high power for 1 to 2 minutes.
