GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. This oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
WARNING – Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Electrical Requirements
The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp. or more protected electrical supply. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded. Should you only have a 2-prong outlet, have a qualified electrician install a correct wall receptacle.
A 3-prong adapter may be purchased and used temporarily if local codes allow. Follow package directions.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
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.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
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.
ABOUT FOOD
FOOD
Eggs, sausages, nuts, seeds, fruits & vegetables
• Puncture egg yolks before cooking to prevent “explosion”.
•Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash, hot dogs and sausages so that steam es- capes.
DO
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.
DON'T
•Cook eggs in shells.
•Reheat whole eggs.
•Dry nuts or seeds in shells.
Popcorn
Baby food
General
•Use specially bagged popcorn for the microwave oven.
•Listen while popping corn for the pop­ping to slow to 1 or 2 seconds or use special Popcorn pad.
•Transfer baby food to small dish and heat carefully, stirring often. Check temperature before serving.
• Put nipples on bottles after heating and shake thoroughly. “Wrist” test before feeding.
• Cut baked goods with filling after heat­ing to release steam and avoid burns.
•Stir liquids briskly before and after heating to avoid “eruption”.
•Use deep bowl, when cooking liquids or cereals, to prevent boilovers.
• Pop popcorn in regular brown bags or glass bowls.
• Exceed maximum time on popcorn package.
•Heat baby food in original jars.
•Heat disposable bottles.
•Heat bottles with nipples on.
•Heat or cook in closed glass jars or air tight containers.
•Can in the microwave as harmful bacte­ria may not be destroyed.
•Deep fat fry.
•Dry wood, gourds, herbs or wet papers.
•Operate the oven empty.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
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 (Do not exceed recommended preheating time. Follow manufacturer's directions.)
®
.
®
)
These items can be used for short time reheating of foods that have little fat or sugar in them:
• wood, straw, wicker
DO NOT USE
•metal pans and bakeware
•dishes with metallic trim
• non-heat-resistant glass
• non-microwave-safe plastics (margarine tubs)
• recycled paper products
•brown paper bags
•food storage bags
•metal twist-ties
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.
How to use aluminum foil in your microwave oven:
• Small flat pieces of aluminum foil placed smoothly on the food can be used to shield areas that are either defrosting or cooking too quickly.
•Foil should not come closer than one inch to any surface of the oven.
Should you have questions about utensils or coverings, check a good microwave cookbook or follow recipe suggestions.
ACCESSORIES There are many microwave
accessories available for purchase. Evaluate carefully before you purchase so that they meet your needs. A microwave-safe thermometer will assist you in determining correct doneness and assure you that foods have been cooked to safe temperatures. Dacor is not responsible for any damage to the oven when accessories are used.
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.
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.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
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, if possible.
•Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
ABOUT SAFETY
• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agriculture’s recom- mended temperatures:
TEMP
160˚F
165˚F
170˚F 180˚F
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.
... for fresh pork, ground meat,
boneless white poultry, fish, seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food.
... for leftover, ready-to-reheat
refrigerated, and deli and
carry-out “fresh” food. ... white meat of poultry. ... dark meat of poultry.
FOOD
• 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.
-Meats and poultry show no pinkness.
-Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
•Always use potholders to prevent burns when
handling utensils that are in contact with hot food. Enough heat from the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin burns.
Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from
the face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dish’s covering and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags away from the face.
• Stay near the oven while it’s in use and check cook-
ing progress frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food.
• 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.

Using Sensor Settings
1.After oven is plugged in, wait two minutes before using any Sensor setting.
2.Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.
3.The oven works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, popcorn would be at room temperature.
4. Any Sensor Cooking or Reheating selection can be programmed with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 32.
5. More or less food than the quantity listed in the chart should be cooked following the guidelines in any microwave cookbook.
6.During the first part of Sensor Cooking or Reheating, SENSING will appear on the display. Do not open the oven door or press STOP/ CLEAR pad during this part of the cooking cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this occurs, an error message will appear. To continue cooking, touch the STOP/CLEAR pad and cook manually.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of cooking or reheating time will appear. The door may be opened when remaining cooking time appears on the display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as desired.
7.If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when cooking or reheating foods, error messages will be displayed, and the oven will turn off.
8. Check food for correct temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, continue to cook manually.
Covering Foods
Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover recommended in the procedure for these foods.
1.Casserole lid.
2.Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow approximately 1/2 inch to remain uncovered to allow steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not touch food.
3. Wax paper: Cover dish completely; fold excess wrap under dish to secure. If dish is wider than paper, overlap two pieces at least one inch to cover .
Be careful when removing any covering to allow steam to escape away from you.
REHEAT - POPCORN ­BAKED POT ATOES
You can cook or reheat many foods by pressing just one pad. You don't need to calculate cooking time or power level.

2 When the oven stops, read
instructions on the screen, open the door, complete the instructions and close the door. Press START pad.
2.Super Defrost can be programmed with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 32.

DEFROST
MANUAL DEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the AUTO DEFROST or SUPER DEFROST CHARTS is above or below the limits in the AMOUNT column on the AUTO DEFROST or SUPER DEFROST CHARTS, you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using 30% power. Follow the exact procedure found on page 16. Estimate defrosting time, enter it. Then touch Power Level on the Touch Screen and select 30%.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the
rule of thumb is approximately four minutes per pound. For example, defrost four minutes for one pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.
Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate the portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the end of the estimated defrosting time, program the oven in one minute increments on 30% power until totally defrosted.
When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to place in a microwave-safe dish.

CLEANING AND CARE
DOOR
Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of harsh abrasives.
EXTERIOR
The outside surface is painted. Clean the outside with mild soap and water; rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.
INTERIOR
Cleaning is easy because no heat is generated to the interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and setting of spills or spattering. To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING P ADS. For heavier soil, use baking soda or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. NEVER SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS DIRECTLY ONTO ANY PART OF THE OVEN.
ODOR REMOV AL
Occasionally , a cooking odor may remain in the oven. To remove, combine 1 cup water, grated peel and juice of 1 lemon and several whole cloves in a 2 cup glass measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using 100% power. Allow to set in oven until cool. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.
WA VEGUIDE COVER
Carefully wash any food particles from the waveguide cover located on the right side in the oven cavity. Do not remove the waveguide cover.
CONTROL PANEL
Care should be taken in cleaning the control panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open the oven door before cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close door and touch STOP/CLEAR.
TOUCH SCREEN
Wipe the touch screen with a damp cloth and then dry with a soft cloth. Do not allow soil to accumulate on the touch screen.
TURNTABLE / TURNTABLE SUPPORT
The turntable and turntable support can be removed for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy water; for stubborn stains use a mild cleanser and scouring sponge as described above. They are also dishwasher­proof. Use upper rack of dishwasher. The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should be wiped up immediately.
