Before Operating

• Before operating your new microwave oven make sure you read

and understand this Use and Care manual completely.

• Before the microwave oven can be used, follow these

procedures:

1. Plug in the microwave oven. Close the door. The microwave oven

display will then begin flashing 88:88.

2. Touch the Clear/Off pad. :  will appear.

3. Set clock.

TO SET THE CLOCK

• Suppose you want to enter the correct time of day 12:30 (A.M. or

P.M.).

1. Touch Timer/Clock pad.

2. Enter time 1,2,3,0 and touch Timer/Clock pad again.

This is a 12 hour clock. If you attempt to enter an incorrect clock
time, ERROR will appear in the display. Touch the Clear/Off pad
and re-enter the time.

• If the electrical power supply to your microwave oven should be

interrupted, the display will inter-mittently show 88:88 after the
power is reinstated. If this occurs during cooking, the program will
be erased. The time of day will also be erased. Simply touch
Clear/Off pad and reset the clock for the correct time of day.

NOTE: Your microwave oven can be programmed with the door
open except for Popcorn, START and Plus 1 Min.

CLEAR/OFF

Touch the Clear/Off pad to:

1. Erase if you make a mistake during programming.

2. Cancel timer.

3. Stop the microwave oven temporarily during cooking.

4. Return the time of day to the display.

5. Cancel a program during cooking, touch twice.

Manual Operation

TIME COOKING

Your microwave oven can be programmed for 99 minutes 99 seconds
(99.99). Always enter the seconds after the minutes, even if they
are both zeros.

• Suppose you want to cook for 5 minutes at 100%.

1. Enter cooking time 5,0,0.

2. Touch START/Plus 1 Min pad.

TO SET POWER LEVEL

There are eleven preset power levels.

Using lower power levels increases the cooking time, which is
recommended for foods such as cheese, milk and long slow
cooking of meats. Consult cookbook or recipes for specific
recommendations.

• Suppose you want to defrost for 5 minutes at 30%.

1. Enter defrosting time 5,0,0.

2. Touch Power Level pad eight times or hold down until the

desired power level appears.

3. Touch START/Plus 1 Min pad.

When the defrost time is complete, a long tone will sound and END
will appear in the display.

MANUAL DEFROST

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the DEFROST
CHART or is above or below the limits in the Amount column on
the DEFROST CHART, you need to defrost manually.

You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked,
by using Power Level for 30%. Follow the exact 3-step procedure
found under TO SET POWER LEVEL. Estimate defrosting time
and press Power Level pad eight times for 30%.

For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb
is approximately 4 minutes per pound. For example, defrost 4
minutes for 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.

Always stop the microwave oven periodically to remove or
separate the portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at
the end of the estimated defrosting time, program the microwave
oven in 1 minute increments on Power Level 30% until totally
defrosted.

When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long
enough to remove from the plastic in order to place in a
microwave-safe dish.
