Outlet should NOT be in the shaded area as indicated.
1.If the dimension of DEPTH (C) is more than 21", the outlet location
may be any area on the rear wall.
2.The floor of the opening should be constructed of plywood strong
enough to support the weight of the oven and floor load (about 100
pounds). The floor should be level for proper operation of the oven.
Be sure to check the local building code as it may require that the
opening be enclosed with sides, ceiling and rear partition. The proper
functioning of the oven does not require the enclosure.

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.

Page 10
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.

MANUAL OPERATION
VARIABLE POWER COOKING
There are eleven preset power levels. T o change the power level, touch Power Level after entering the cooking
time. Using lower power levels increases the cooking time which is recommended for foods such as cheese,
milk and long slow cooking of meats. Consult cookbook or recipes for specific recommendations.
• Suppose you want to cook for 5 minutes at 30% power:
1 Enter cooking time, 5, 0, 0
by touching numbers.
Touch Power Level.

down the cooking time. During
the cooking, the power level
will appear in the display.
MUL TIPLE SEQUENCE COOKING
The oven can be programmed for up to four automatic cooking sequences, switching from one power level
setting to another automatically. Sometimes cooking directions tell you to start on one power level and then
change to a different power level. Your oven can do this automatically.
•Suppose you want to cook roast beef for 5 minutes at 70% power and then continue to cook for 30 minutes at
50% power:
1 Enter cooking time, 5, 0, 0
by touching numbers.

SENSOR MODES
The Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects
the vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from the
food as it heats. The sensor adjusts the cooking times
and power level for various foods and quantities.
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.
• Suppose you want to cook two baked potatoes:

NOTE:
1.After pressing any SENSOR MODES pad, cooking
hints will appear for about 7 seconds, during which
the door may be opened or STOP/CLEAR pressed.
To restart the oven, close the door and press the
START pad.
2.All SENSOR MODES pads can be pressed within
3 minutes after cooking, opening and closing the
door or pressing the STOP/CLEAR pad.

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.
