Time is used to control the amount of heating that occurs. Microwave energy is absorbed in proportion to the moisture content of the food. The microwave energy causes water molecules to vibrate at high speeds, resulting in friction (HEAT).
LOCATION Place the oven on a suitable countertop, shelf or table with a smooth, flat and stable surface. Do not place the oven in a hot or damp area, near a gas or electric range. The microwave oven must not be located above or next to sources of excessive heat or greasy air. Clean air must be free to flow around the oven. There is a possibility of a small amount of interference with weak broadcast signals if the microwave oven is too close to a radio or TV.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION The cord and plug of this microwave oven must be connected to a separate circuit rated at 120 Volts, 60 Hertz, 20 Amps, Single Phase.
