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. Always read and obey all safety messages. This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ■ Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to persons: – Do not overheat the liquid.
Electrical Requirements The microwave oven is connected to a 110-volt side of the 240-volt circuit required for the lower oven. If the incoming voltage to the microwave oven is less than 110 volts cooking times may be longer. Have a qualified electrician check your electrical system. PARTS AND FEATURES This manual covers different models. The oven you have purchased may have some or all of the parts and features listed.

MICROWAVE OVEN USE 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. ■ Do not lean on or allow children to swing on the oven door. ■ Do not operate microwave oven when it is empty.
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. MATERIAL RECOMMENDATIONS Aluminum Foil, Metal See “Aluminum Foil and Metal” section. Browning Dish Bottom must be at least ³⁄₁₆" (5 mm) above the turntable.
Cooking Power Many recipes for microwave cooking specify which cooking power to use by percent, name or number. For example, 70%=7=Medium-High. Use the following chart as a general guide for the suggested cooking power of specific foods. PERCENT/ NAME NUMBER 100%, High 10 (default setting) USE Quick heating convenience foods and foods with high water content, such as soups, beverages and most vegetables. 90% 9 Cooking small tender pieces of meat, ground meat, poultry pieces and fish fillets.
Crisper Pan Frying When the crisper pan is used with microwaves, it is like a frying pan or griddle, ideal for French toast, burgers, eggs, stir-frying and sautéing. See “Crisper Pan and Handle” section first before using. To Use: Before crisper pan frying, brush crisper pan with 1/2 tsp (3 mL) of oil or spray with nonstick cooking spray.

The microwave oven will be set to automatically begin the pop setting for the 3.5 oz (99 g) bag size.
Crisp Broil The Crisp feature uses the broil element and microwaves to crisp and brown foods. Crisp can be used to saute meats and vegetables, pan-fry bacon and eggs, and to crisp and brown pizza and cheese sandwiches. Always use the crisper pan. See the “Crisper Pan and Handle” section before using. The Broil feature uses the broil element to cook and brown 1 to 4 small pieces of food at a time. Always use the broiling grid.
Convection Cooking A B C D When preheating is complete, one tone will sound, and the display will show the set cook time. A. Broil element B. Convection fan C. Convection element (on some models) D. Convection grid Convection cooking uses the convection element (on some models) and the fan. Hot air is circulated throughout the oven cavity by the fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the food to heat the outer portion quickly.
