MICROWAVE OVEN SAFETY Your safety and the safety of others are very important. We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn off the pad and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric shock. Do not use paper products when appliance is operated in the “PAN BROWN” mode (on models with this feature). Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer’s recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use. Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave oven when the microwave oven is in operation.

If the “:” blinks on the display at any other time, a power failure has occurred. Touch OFF/CANCEL and reset the clock if needed. If “RETRY” blinks on the display for 1 second, an invalid value has been entered. Retry your entry. When the microwave oven is in use, the display shows cooking power, quantities, weights and/or prompts.
Tones MICROWAVE OVEN USE Tones are audible signals, indicating the following: ■ End of stage in multistage cooking A magnetron in the oven produces microwaves which reflect off the metal floor, walls and ceiling and pass through the turntable and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are attracted to and absorbed by fat, sugar and water molecules in the food, causing them to move, producing friction and heat which cooks the food. ■ Never lean on or allow children to swing on the oven door.
Food Characteristics When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting temperature, composition and density of the food affect cooking results. Amount of Food Cookware and Dinnerware Cookware and dinnerware must fit on the turntable. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling because any dish may become hot from heat transferred from the food. Do not use cookware and dinnerware with gold or silver trim. Use the following chart as a guide, then test before using.
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 oven. If not used properly, arcing (a blue flash of light) can occur and cause damage to the oven.

To Defrost Manually: Defrosting The Auto Defrost feature can be used or the microwave oven can be manually set to defrost. ■ Food should be 0°F (-18°C) or colder at defrosting for optimal results. ■ Unwrap foods and remove lids (from fruit juice) before defrosting. ■ Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep blocks. ■ Separate food pieces as soon as possible during or at the end of cycle for more even defrosting.
