Unpacking and Examining Your Oven
Remove: all packing materials from inside the oven cavity; however, DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER, which is located on the right cavity wall. Read enclosures and SAVE the Use and Care Installation Instructions.
Check the oven for any damage, such as misaligned or bent door, damaged door seals and sealing surfaces, broken or loose door hinges and latches and dents inside the cavity or on the door. If there is any damage, do not operate the oven and contact your dealer or DACOR AUTHORIZED SERVICER.
Choosing a Location for Your Oven on the counter
You will use the oven frequently so plan its location for ease of use. It’s wise, if possible, to have counter space on at least one side of the oven. Allow at least 2 inches on the sides, top and at the rear of the oven for air circulation.

Extension Cord
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the microwave oven. The marked rating of the extension cord should be AC 115120 volt, 15 amp. or more.
Be careful not to drape the cord over the countertop or table where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
Notes: 1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or service person.
2.Neither DACOR nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the correct electrical connection procedures.
Radio or TV Interference
Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven to your radio or TV, check that the microwave oven is on a different electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far away from the oven as feasible or check position and signal of receiving antenna.

I N F O R M A T I O N Y O U N E E D T O K N O W
ABOUT YOUR OVEN
This Operation Manual is valuable: read it carefully and always save it for reference.
A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for microwave cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes.
NEVER use the oven without the turntable and support nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could be placed in the oven. The turntable will turn both clockwise and counterclockwise.
ALWAYS have food in the oven when it is on to absorb the microwave energy.
When using the oven at power levels below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room humidity and the moisture in food will influence the amount of moisture that condenses in the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones. Vents on the oven back must not be blocked.
The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your oven is rated 1200 watts by using the IEC Test Procedure. In using recipes or package directions, check food a minute or two before the minimum time and add time accordingly.

ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS
It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces already in your kitchen can be used successfully in your new microwave oven.
Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking and reheating:
•glass ceramic (Pyroceram® ), such as Corningware® .
•heat-resistant glass (Pyrex® )
•microwave-safe plastics (some microwavesafe plastics are not suitable for cooking foods with high fat and sugar content.)
•paper plates
•microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain
•browning dish preheating time directions.)
These items can be

• wood, straw,
DO NOT USE
•metal pans and
•dishes with metallic
•non-heat-resistant
•non-microwave-
•recycled paper
•brown paper bags
•food storage bags
•metal twist-ties
Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven and microwave on 100% power for 30 seconds. A dish which becomes very hot should not be used.
The following coverings are ideal:
•Paper towels are good for covering foods for reheating and absorbing fat while cooking bacon.
•Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheating.
•Plastic wrap that is specially marked for microwave use can be used for cooking and reheating. DO NOT allow plastic wrap to touch food. Vent so steam can escape.
•Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choice because heat is kept near the food to hasten cooking.
•Oven cooking bags are good for large meats or foods that need tenderizing. DO NOT use metal twist ties. Remember to slit bag so steam can escape.

ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE
Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave oven with a supervising person very near to them. Between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person should be in the same room.
The child must be able to reach the oven comfortably; if not, he/she should stand on a sturdy stool.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the oven door.
Children should be taught all safety precautions: use potholders, remove coverings carefully, pay special attention to packages that crisp food because they may be extra hot.
Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one cooking skill he/she can cook everything.
Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not a toy. See page 30 for Child Lock feature.

ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
•Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas toward outside of dish.
•Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Foods severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
•Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
•Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any thin areas of meats or poultry to prevent overcooking before dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.
•Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking,
•Turn foods over once cooking of such foods Large items like least once.
ABOUT
•Check foods to see United States Department mended temperatures:
T E M P
160˚F ... for
165˚F ... for leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and deli and carry-out “fresh” food.
170˚F ... white meat of poultry.
180˚F ... dark meat of poultry.
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use.
•Rearrange foods like meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.
•Add standing time. Remove food from oven and stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allows the food to finish cooking without overcooking.
•Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking temperatures have been reached.
Doneness signs include:
-Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
-Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
-Poultry thigh joints move easily.

•NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other items.
•Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high quality and minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.
•Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing and/or fires.
•Use care when removing items from the oven so that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not touch the safety door latches.
