2 Precautions PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY 1. DO NOT attempt to operate the microwave oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the door safety interlocks. 2. DO NOT place any object between the microwave oven front face and the door, or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on the sealing surfaces. 3. DO NOT operate the microwave oven if it is damaged.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS The microwave oven must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, the 3-prong grounding plug reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. The microwave oven is equipped with a power cord consisting of a grounding wire with a 3-prong grounding plug. The 3-prong plug must be plugged into a 3-prong outlet receptacle that is properly installed and grounded.
Important Safety Instructions 3 WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and/or injury to persons, basic safety precautions should always be followed when using electrical appliances. When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following: 1. Read all instructions before using the appliance. 2. Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” section found on pg. 4. 3.
16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity: a) DO NOT overcook any food. Carefully attend to the microwave when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking. b) Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing into the oven. c) If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven OFF, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off the power at the fuse or the circuit breaker panel.
4 Installation 1. Examine the microwave oven after unpacking. Check for damages such as a misaligned door, broken door or dent in the cavity. If any damage is found, DO NOT install, and notify your dealer immediately. 2. Install the microwave oven on a flat, level surface. 3. Check the ventilation. DO NOT block the air vents. If the air vents are blocked during operation, the oven may overheat and eventually fail. For proper ventilation, allow 4 inches (10.

The LED display will clear and show an outline of the LED display area, and it will not respond to any functions while locked.
7 Operation Microwave Oven Use A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves that reflect off the interior cavity; passing through the turntable and appropriate cookware to cook the food. The produced microwaves are attracted to and absorbed by fat, sugar, and water molecules in the food; thereby causing the molecules to move and produce friction that creates heat required to cook the food. 1.
• Composition and Density Foods high in fat and sugar will reach a higher temperature, and will heat faster than other foods. Heavy, dense foods, such as meat and potatoes, require a longer cook time than the same size of a light, porous food, such as cake. • Starting Temperature Room temperature food will heat faster than refrigerated food, and refrigerated food will heat faster than frozen food.
Cookware and Dinnerware The cookware and dinnerware must fit onto the turntable. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling since the dish may become extremely hot from heat being transferred from the food. DO NOT use any cookware and dinnerware with gold or silver trim. Use the following chart as a general guideline and test the materials before using them with food: Material Recomendations Aluminum Foil, Metal See the “Aluminum Foil and Metal” section found on pg. 16.
Acceptable for Use Racks and bakewares supplied with the microwave oven (if applicable), certain aluminum foils for shielding, and approved meat thermometers may be used with the following guidelines: 1. To avoid damage to the microwave oven, DO NOT allow the aluminum foil or the metal to come in contact with the cavity, including the side walls, ceiling, or floor. 2. Always use the supplied turntable. 3.

Operating Precautions 8 General Use • DO NOT attempt to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks. • DO NOT place any object between the oven front frame and the door or allow residue to build up on sealing surfaces. Wipe with a mild detergent, rinse, and dry thoroughly. • DO NOT use abrasive powders or pads. • DO NOT subject the oven door to strain or weight such as a child hanging on an open door. This could cause the oven to fall forward resulting in injury and damage to the oven.
• DO NOT leave the oven unattended while popping popcorn. • DO NOT pop popcorn in a paper bag unless it is the commercially prepared microwave popcorn product. The kernels can overheat and ignite a brown paper bag. • DO NOT exceed the microwave popcorn manufacturer’s suggested popping time. Longer popping does not yield more popcorn but it can result in buring the popcorn or risk of fire. Remember, the popcorn bag and tray can be too hot to handle. Remove with caution and always use pot holders.
Care and Cleaning 9 Unit The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation. 1. Unplug the power cord before cleaning any part of the oven. 2. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food spatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth.
Turntable Turntable 1. DO NOT operate the oven without the turntable in place. 2. DO NOT use any other glass tray with the oven. 3. If the turntable is hot, ALLOW TO COOL before cleaning or placing it in water. 4. DO NOT cook directly on the turntable; use a platter container. Roller Guide Roller Guide 1. 2. The roller guide and oven floor should be cleaned frequently to prevent excessive noise. The roller guide must always be used for cooking together with the turntable.
10 Troubleshooting Before you call for service, refer to following checklist for common problems: The oven does not work. Sparking appears in the cavity. • Check that the power cord is securely plugged in. • Check that the door is firmly closed. • Check that the cooking time is set. • Check for a blown circuit fuse or tripped main circuit breaker in your house. • Check for utensils. Metal containers or dishes with metal trim shouldnot be used.
11 FAQ Q : Can I use the oven with the glass tray or the roller guide removed? A : No. Both the glass tray and the roller guide must always be properly installed in the oven while cooking. Q : Can I open the door when the oven is operating? A : The door can be opened anytime during the cooking operation. The microwave energy will be instantly switched OFF and the time setting will remain until the door is closed.
getting used to a microwave oven. Variations in the size, shape, weights, and dimensions could require longer cooking time settings. Use your own judgement along with the cooking guide suggestions to check whether the food has been properly cooked just as you would do with a conventional cooker. Q : Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates while empty? A : Yes. Never run the oven empty.
