? INSTALLATION OF YOUR APPLIANCE
? When positioning the microwave oven, it should be set on a flat, steady surface.
? Do not block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the oven may overheat and
eventually cause oven failure.

radio, antenna, or antenna wire. Position the oven as far from them as possible.
? Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
? Keep the oven away from hot air, steam or splashing liquids when choosing a place to locate it,
otherwise, the unit’s operation may be adversely affected, causing it to break down.
? Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical
consumption.
? Plug the appliance into an exclusive properly installed -grounded wall outlet. Do not under any
circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions
concerning power and or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an
authorized Avanti Products service center.

Utensils
? METAL CONTAINERS or dishes with metallic rims should not be used. Arcing may occur.
? METAL TWIST-TIES may not be used in the microwave oven.
? DO NOT use SEALED JARS or NARROW NECK bottles for coo king or reheating. They may
shatter.
? DO NOT use CONVENTIONAL THERMOMETERS in the microwave oven. They may cause
arcing. Use only those labeled “Microwave Safe” and follow all directions. Check the food in
several places.
? Remove PLASTIC STORE WRAPS befor e cooking or defrosting in the oven.
RECOMMENDED
? Microwave browning dish – Use to brown exterior of small items such as steaks, chops, or
pancakes. Follow the directions provided with your browning dish.
? Microwaveable plastic wrap – Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some steam to
escape and avoid placing it directly on the food.
? Paper towels and napkins – Use for short -term heating and covering; these absorb excess
moisture and prevent splattering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may c ontain metal and
could ignite.
Food
? Never use your microwave oven for HOME CANNING. The oven is not designed to permit
proper canning. Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.
? COOKING TIMES are approximate. Factors that may affect cooking are starting temperature,
altitude, volume, size and shape of food and utensils used. As you become familiar with the
oven, you will be able to adjust for these factors.
? It is better to UNDERCOOK RATHER THAN OVERCOOK foods. If food is undercooked, it can
always be returned to the oven for further cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can be done.
Always start with minimum cooking times.
? SMALL QUANTITIES of food or foods with LOW MOISTURE content can burn, dry out or catch
on fire if cooked t oo long.
? DO NOT boil eggs in their shell. Pressure may build up and the eggs will explode.
? Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole acorn squash and sausage are examples of food with
NONPOROUS SKINS. These must be pierced before cooking to prevent bursting.
? POPCORN must be popped in a microwave corn popper. Microwave popped corn produces a
lower yield than conventional popping. DO NOT use oven for popcorn unless popped in a
microwave approved popcorn utensil or unless it’s commercially packaged and recommended
especially for microwave ovens. DO NOT use oil unless specified by the manufacturer.

Warning

? ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces
the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted
into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. Consult a qualified
electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if
doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three -prong plug which mates with standard three
prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied.
Use of extension cords is not recommended.
This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volts A.C. ~/60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground.
The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental
injury.

particularly important that the oven closes properly and that there is no damage to the:
