NOTE: As soon as the timer is turned, the oven will start cooking. When setting the timer
for less than two (2) minutes, turn the timer knob past the two (2) minute mark and then
return to the correct time. When the cooking time has elapsed, a bell will ring and the unit
will turn off automatically.
CAUTION: ALWAYS RETURN THE TIMER BACK TO THE ZERO POSITION, when food is
removed from the oven prior to the end of the cooking cycle or when the oven is not in use.
TWO-STEP DOOR OPENING FUNCTION
For safety, this microwave requires a 2-step process to open the door. This safety door lock
feature reduces the risks to young children by reducing the likelihood of them handling
hot food and beverage items. If the two-step door opening function is enabled, it is not
possible to open the oven door during cooking cycles or briefly after. You will need to
follow the Opening Door with Safety Lock Enabled instructions below.
When the Safety Lock is enabled, you must complete the 2-step process each time you
open the door. If there are no young children in your household, or disabilities make it
difficult for adults to operate the 2-step door latch, refer to the instructions below to
disable the safety lock feature and convert the door to a 1-step push button latch.
Operating Instructions for Opening the Door:
• To open the door, press the button located on the right side of the microwave and the
door open button on the front at the same time.
Your microwave makes cooking easier than conventional cooking, provided you keep these
considerations in mind.
STIRRING - Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute heat
evenly. Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and heats more quickly, so stir
from the outside to the center. The oven will turn off when you open the door to stir your food.
ARRANGEMENT - Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with
the thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable where they receive more
microwave energy. To prevent overcooking, place delicate areas, such as asparagus tips,
toward the center of the turntable.
TURNING - Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to microwave energy.
This is especially important with large foods such as roasts.
STANDING - Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue to cook for
a few minutes after heating stops. Let foods stand to complete cooking, especially foods
such as cakes and whole vegetables. Roasts need this time to complete cooking in the
center without overcooking the outer areas. All liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate, should
be shaken or stirred when cooking is complete. Let liquids stand a moment before serving.
When heating baby food, stir well at removal and test the temperature before serving.
ADDING MOISTURE - Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven
in moisture content should be covered or allowed to stand so that the heat disperses evenly.
Add a small amount of water to dry food to help them cook.
