WARNING

⚠

WARNING

⚠

To avoid risk of re in the oven cavity:

A� DO NOT overcook food� Carefully attend oven when

paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven, due to the possibility of ignition�

B� Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before

placing bag in oven�

C� If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven door

CLOSED, turn oven o󰀨 and disconnect the power cord, or shut o󰀨 power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

D� DO NOT use the cavity for storage� DO NOT leave

paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use�

CAUTION

⚠

To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe the following:

Liquids such as water, co󰀨ee, or tea are able to be

overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid� Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present� THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID� To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

i� DO NOT overheat the liquid� ii� Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it� iii� DO NOT use straight-sided containers with narrow necks� iv� After heating, allow the container to stand in the

microwave oven for a short time before removing the container�

Grounding & Installation

Grounding/Earthing Instructions

WARNING

⚠

Oven MUST be grounded. Grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current if an electrical short occurs� This oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug� The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded�

Consult a qualied electrician or servicer if grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the oven is properly grounded�

Do not use an extension cord.

If the product power cord is too short, have a qualied electrician install a three-slot receptacle. This oven should be plugged into a separate circuit with the electrical rating as provided in product specications (available at www.acpsolutions.com) and

the oven’s serial plate / rating label� When the oven is on a circuit with other equipment, an increase in cooking times may be required and fuses can be blown�

EXTERNAL EQUIPOTENTIAL EARTHING TERMINAL (export only)

Equipment has secondary earthing terminal� Terminal provides external earthing connection used in addition to earthing prong on plug� Located on outside of oven back, terminal is marked with symbol shown at right

Installation

Unpacking Oven

• Inspect oven for damage such as dents in door or inside oven cavity�

• Report any dents or breakage to source of purchase immediately�

Do not attempt to use oven if damaged.

• Remove all packing materials from oven interior�

• If oven has been stored in extremely cold area, wait a few hours before connecting power�

To avoid risk of electrical shock or death, this oven must be grounded and plug must not be altered�

WARNING

⚠

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install oven� Failure to do so can result in back or other injury

Radio Interference

• Microwave operation may cause interference to radio, television� Reduce or eliminate interference by doing the following:

• Clean door and sealing surfaces of oven according to instructions in “Care & Cleaning” section�

Oven Placement

• Do not install oven next to or above source of heat, such as pizza oven or deep fat fryer� This could cause oven to operate improperly and could shorten life of electrical parts�

• Do not block or obstruct oven lters. Allow access for cleaning.

• Install oven on level counter-top surface�

• If provided, place warning label in a conspicuous place close to oven�

• Outlet should be located so that plug is accessible when oven is in place�

OVEN CLEARANCES

A� Allow at least 4” (10 cm) of clearance around top of oven. Proper air ow around

oven cools electrical components. With restricted air ow, oven may not operate

properly and life of electrical parts is reduced� B� There is not an installation clearance requirement for the back of the oven� C� Allow at least 1” (2�54 cm) of clearance around sides of oven� D� Install oven so oven bottom is at least 3 feet (91.5 cm) above oor.

Cooking Tips

Oven Temperature

• Oven can be preheated to the following temperature range:

• STYLE 1 Models: 200°– 475°F (95°– 250°C)

• STYLE 2 Models: 150°– 475°F (65°– 250°C)

• The most frequently used oven temperature is 475°F (250°C)�

• Use only one temperature for all your menu items to avoid cooking inconsistency�

• Reduced oven temperature may be needed for baking or if product is cooked for an extended period of time�

Microwave Settings

• 11 di󰀨erent power levels (0% lowest to 100% highest) control intensity of

microwave energy�

• Microwave energy cooks the food and increases the internal food temperature�

• Food containing high water, fat and salt content raises its temperature faster with high microwave power level�

• Decreasing microwave power is recommended when product is thick and takes longer to cook to avoid drying out food�

Stage Cooking

Allows operator to use up to four di󰀨erent

cooking cycles or stages consecutively without repeated input from the operator� Stage cooking aids in retaining the quality of frozen and delicate foods� It can be set to defrost food initially, then cook it, and then

nish with more toasting/browning.

Note: Combined total cook time cannot exceed 20:00

Example: Pizza

Total Cook Time:3:45 Temperature: 475°F (250°C)

STAGE TIME % MW POWER

1 1:00 80% 2 1:30 30% 3 1:15 50% 4 - -

Stage one thaws and begins cooking process. Stage two continues cooking process without drying out pizza crust. Stage three increases the internal temperature of the pizza.

Best Practices

• Remove food from oven at end of cycle. Items will be hot when nished cooking. Use oven mitt, tongs, or pizza paddle to safely remove items from oven�

• Place cookware in center of oven rack, not touching oven sides�

• Clean oven daily� See "Care & Cleaning" on page 25 of this manual for full instructions�

• For easier cleaning, use non-stick liner kit accessory and replace whenever you encounter excessive peeling or wear� (Item# TL12)

• Style 1 Models: Use magnetic air lter accessory to enhance ltering of ne particulates that may be in the air with select installations/applications� (Item# AF10)

Cooking Utensils and Containers

ONLY use accessories that are both high temperature oven-safe and microwave-safe�

FOR CONVECTION AND/OR COMBINATION COOKING:

• Maximum metal pan height: 1½ inches (38mm)� Assure pans do not contact oven or door surfaces during cooking�

• Di󰀨erent types of metal conduct heat at di󰀨erent speeds. Aluminum heats faster than stainless steel�

• Line pans with parchment paper for easy removal of food after heating and cleaning�

STYLE 1 Cooking & Programming Features

Cooking Energies and Options

CONVECTION ENERGY

Convection cooking utilizes both a convection element and fan to

evenly distribute heated air throughout the oven cavity� The circulating

air surrounds food in an envelope of evenly heated air� Consistent

temperatures cook food evenly and reduce cooking time� By default,

convection power is enabled� While enabled, oven will maintain a

minimum convection temperature of 200°F (95°C) to ensure drier air

Convection-Only Cooking

To operate with convection-only, use cook

settings with 0% microwave power level.

and more even cooking�

Combination Cooking:

Convection with Microwave

The combination of both energies uses the

speed of microwave energy and browning of convection cooking to yield high quality

food faster� To operate with combination

cooking, set convection temperature

between 200°– 475°F (95°– 250°C)� and set

microwave power level between 10 – 100%.

Microwave cooking uses high frequency energy waves to heat the food� When cooking, microwave energy causes food molecules to

move rapidly� This rapid movement between the food molecules

creates heat, which cooks the food�

Oven generates microwave energy while cooking screen countdowns

and displays power level greater than 0%.

Programming Features

STAGE COOKING

Allows operator to use up to four di󰀨erent cooking cycles or stages consecutively

without repeated input from the operator� For example, stage cooking can be set to

defrost food initially, then cook it, and then nish with more toasting/browning.

PRESET RECIPE KEYPADS
