How to install your Microwave Oven:-

Make sure that the packaging material is removed from the inside of the door.

WARNING: Check the microwave oven for any damage, such as misaligned or bent door, damaged door seals and sealing surface, broken or loose door hinges and latches and dents inside the cavity or on the door. The door should fit squarely, securely and close smoothly. The door seals are free from food and have no burn marks. If there are any damage, please do not operate the microwave oven and contact the qualified service personnel.

Practical Hints:-

• The microwave oven should be placed on a flat stable surface which can hold the weight of the microwave oven and the heaviest of food likely to be cooked inside.

• Do not place the microwave oven where heat, moisture, or high humidity are generated or near combustible materials.

• For correct operation, the microwave oven must have sufficient airflow (30 cms above, 10 cms at the back and 15 cms on both the sides). Do not cover or block any openings.

• Do not remove the feet.

• Do not place anything on top of the oven.

• Do not operate the microwave oven without the glass tray, roller support & shaft in their proper positions.

• Make sure that the power supply is undamaged and does not run under the microwave oven or over any hot or sharp surfaces.

• Ensure that the socket is readily accessible so that it can be easily unplugged in case of emergency.

• Do not use the microwave oven outdoors.

• The appliance must be grounded. The oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall socket that is properly installed and grounded as it reduces the risk of electric shock in case of short circuit. Using a high voltage is dangereous and may result in a fire or other accidents causing the oven damage.

NOTE: improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. The microwave oven should be operated on a separate circuit from other appliances. Failure to do so may cause the power board fuse to blow, and or food to cook slower.

How to use your Microwave Oven:-

The appliance is intended to heat, cook or dry food for indoor household use only.

• Arrange the food carefully. Place the thickest area towards the outside of the dish.

• Watch the cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time and add more as required. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite thereby causing damage.

• Ensure that you cover your food while cooking. Covers prevent splattering and the food cooks evenly.

• Turn the food over once during the cycle to speed cooking of foods such as chicken and burgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over atleast once.

• Rearrange foods such as meat balls halfway through the cooking cycle both from top to bottom and center of the dish to the outside.

CONTROL PANEL:-

Timer Knob:- Offers visual timing settings to select a desired cooking time upto 30 minutes per cooking session (Figure a).

Microwave Cooking

To start a cooking session

1. Place food in oven and close the door

2. Turn power selector to select a power level

3. Use timer knob to set a cooking time.

Note : Oven will start cooking food once the timer is turned on.

If you need cooking time for less than 5 minutes, turn timer past 5 minutes and then return to correct timing. Always return timer back to Zero position when food is removed from oven but the set cooking time has not completed.

Caution:-

To stop oven turn timer to zero position. If the door of the oven is pulled opened during cooking, the oven will stop working automatically. It will continue to cook the moment door is closed again. If the food is already cooked then turn the timer knob to zero position before closing the door.

How to care for your Microwave :-

• Use utensils which allow the energy to pass through the container and heat the food.

Only use a temperature probe recommended for this microwave oven.

• Do not use metal or dishes with metallic rim.

• Do not use recycled paper products as they may contain small metal fragments which

may cause sparks or fires.

• Round or oval dishes are recommended rather than square / oblong ones as food in

corners tend to overcook.

• The oven should be cleaned occasionally, particularly around the door seal area.

• Keep the inside of oven of oven clean. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to

oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty. Avoid the use of spray or other harsh cleaners as they may stain, steak or dull the door surface.

• Turn off the oven and remove the power plug from the socket before cleaning.

• The outside surfaces should be cleaned with damp cloth. To prevent damage to the

operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilating openings.

• Wipe the doors and window on sides, the door seals and adjacent parts frequently with a

damp cloth to remove any spills or splaytters. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

• Do not allow the operating panel to become wet. Clean with a soft damp cloth. When

cleaning the control panel, leave the oven door open to prevent the oven from accidentally turning on.

• If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft

cloth. This may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high humidity condition and it is normal.

• The roller ring and oven floor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. Simply

wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent. The roller ring may be washed in mild sudsy water or dishwasher. When removing the roller ring from the cavity floor for cleaning be sure to replace in the proper position.

• Remove odours from your oven by combining a cup of water with juice and skin of lemon

in a deep microwaveable bowl. Microwave for 5 minutes. Wipe thoroughly and dry with soft cloth.

• When it becomes necessary to replace the oven light, please contact the nearest Black &

Decker service concessionaire.
