INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

 BEFORE USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

 Remove the exterior and interior packing.
 Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:

 Glass Tray
 Turntable Roller Assembly (Roller or Roller Ring)
 Instruction Manual

 Inspect the oven after unpacking for any visual damage such as:

 Misaligned Door
 Damaged Door
 Dents or Holes in Door Window and Screen
 Dents in Cavity

If any of the above is visible, DO NOT use the oven.

 INSTALLATION OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

 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.

 Poor television reception and radio interference may result if the oven is located close to a TV,

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.

 DO NOT place anything on the top of the oven.
 Keep the oven at least 5 inches away from both sidewalls and away from rear wall to ensure the

proper ventilation.

 DO NOT remove the turn-table drive shaft.

 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE

MICROWAVE ENERGY

(a) Do not attempt to operate this 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 safety
interlocks.

(b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue

to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close

properly and that there is no damage to the : (1) Door ( bent ), (2) Hinges and latches ( broken or
loosened ), (3) Door seals and sealing surfaces.

(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service

personnel.

6

 DO NOT attempt to tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to door, control panel or any

other part of the oven. Do NOT remove outer panel from oven. Repairs should only be done by
qualified service personnel.

 DO NOT operate the oven empty. The microwave energy will reflect continuously throughout the

oven if no food or water is present to absorb energy.

 If a fire occurs in the oven, touch the START/STOP pad and LEAVE THE DOOR CLOSED.

Disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

 DO NOT attempt to dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in oven. They may catch on fire.
 DO NOT use recycled paper products, as they may contain impurities, which may cause sparks

General Use

Utensils Food

and/or fires when used.

 DO NOT hit or strike control panel. Damage to controls may occur.

 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 cooking 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 before 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 contain metal and

could ignite.

 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 too 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.

 DO NOT attempt to deep fat fry in your oven.
 HEATED LIQUIDS can ERUPT if not mixed with air. DO NOT heat liquids in your microwave
