YOU CAN CHANGE THE POPCORN SETTING TO “REMEMBER” A DIFFERENT COOK TIME.

You may wish to do this if your favorite size of popcorn is something other than 3 1/2 oz. Sizes (or your 3 1/2 oz
bag does not cook properly) from the individual 2 oz. Size up to the larger “family size” packages are now
available. If you do change the popcorn setting, however, the oven will continue to select the new setting each
time you touch the POPCORN pad until you reset it again.

To reset POPCORN time: Tap POPCORN pad twice. ENTER TIME appears on display. Touch number pads to
enter minutes and seconds. Touch START pad. This new cook time will remain whenever you use the POPCORN
pad until you reset it.

VOUS POUVEZ MODIFIER LE REGLAGE DE MAIS SOUFFLE POUR QU’IL “SEPAPPELLE” UNE DUREE
DIFFERENTE DE CUISSON. Vous pouvez choisir de le faire si le fomat de votre marqure préférée de mais

soufflé est different des formats de 3 1/2 oz(ou votre maïs de sou soufflé des formats de 3 1/2 oz n’est pas bien
buisiné).On tourve maintenant des formats allant du format individuel de 2 onces au grand format “familial”.Si
vous modifier le réglage, le four continuer d’utiliser le régalage modifié chaque fois vous appuyez sur la touche
POPCORN,jusqu’à ce que vous fassiez une nouvelle modification.

Pour modifier la durée de caisson, appuyez deux fois sur la touché POPCORN. Les mots ENTER TIME
s’affichent. Entrez la durée en minutes et secondes à l’aide des toucheds de chiffres. Appuyez sur la touche
START/STOP. Cette nouvelle durée de caisson sera conserve en mémoire pour l’utilisation de la touche
POPCORN jusqu’à ce qu’elle soit modifiée.

PUEDE CAMBIAR LA GRADUACIÓN PARA POPCORN PARA “RECORDAR”UN TIEMPO DE COCCION
DIFERENTE. Es possible que desee hacer esto si el tamaño de su bolsa de popcorn favorite es diferente al de 3
1/2 onzas. Ahora hay tamaños de bolsas individuales de 2 onzas hasta los más grandes, de “tamaño familiar”.
Pero, si usted no cambia la graduación cada vez que toque el botón POPCORN, hasta que lo vuelva a
reposicionar.

Para cmabiar la graduación del tiempo para POPCORN,toque dos veces botón
POPCORN. En el visualizador aparece mensaje: ENTER TIME(entre el timpo). Toque los botones
correspondientes en el teclado numérico para entrar minutos y segundos. Toque el botón START(arrancar).Este

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the
following:
WARNING-To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock,
fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive
microwave energy:

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2. Read and follow the specific ”precautions to

avoid possible exposure to excessive microwave
energy” above.

3. The oven must be placed on a countertop which
is a minimum of 920mm(36 inches) from the
floor. For correct operation, the oven must have
sufficient air flow. Allow7.8” of space above the
oven, 4” at back and 2” at both sides. Do not
cover or block any openings on the appliance. Do
not remove feet.

4. This appliance must be grounded. Connected
only to properly grounded outlet. See “grounding

6. Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual. Do not use corrosive
chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type
of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook or
dry food. It is not designed for industrial or
laboratory use.

7. As with any appliance, close supervision is
necessary when used by children.

8. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance

if paper, plastic or other combustible materials
are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags

before placing bag in oven.

c. If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep

22. WARNING: It is hazardous for anyone other than
a trained person to carry out any service or repair
operation which involves the removal of any cover

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. 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, 20 amp. It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only the oven 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. A short power-supply cord is provided to
reduce risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a long 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.
Notes: 1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified
electrician or service person.
Notes: 2. Neither Danby nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury
resulting from failure to observe proper 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

3

which gives protection against exposure to
microwave energy.

23. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea can be
overheated beyond the boiling point without
appearing to be boiling due to surface tension of
the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling when the
container is removed from the microwave oven is
not always present.
THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS
SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON
OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE
LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to person:

a. Do not overheat the liquid.
b. Stir the liquid both before and halfway

through heating it.

c. Do not use straight-sided containers with

narrow necks.

d. After heating, allow the container to stand in

the microwave oven for a short time before
removing the container.

e. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or

other utensil into the container.

CONTINUES ON PAGE 4

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Microwave oven is on a different circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far away from the oven as possible or check
position and signal of receiving antenna.

Power Supply Cord

1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.

2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

3. If long cord or extension cord is used:

a) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical

rating of the appliance.

b) The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and The longer cord should be arranged so

that it will not drape over the counter op or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over
unintentionally.

UTENSILS GUIDE

1. The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwaves, it should allow energy to pass
through the container and heat the food.

2. Microwave cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not be used.

3. Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain small metal fragments
which may cause sparks and/or fires.

4. A round dish is preferable to oval or rectangular dishes, because food cooked in corners allow more exposure
to microwaves. Over cooking at corners may occur. The list below is a general guide to help you select the
correct utensils.

Cookware Microwave Cooking
Heat-Resistant Glass Yes
Non Heat-Resistant Glass No
Heat-Resistant Ceramics Yes
Microwave-Safe Plastic Dish Yes
Kitchen Paper Yes
Metal Tray No
Metal Rack No
Aluminum Foil & Foil Containers Yes

MICROWAVE COOKING PRINCIPLES

The speed and evenness of microwave cooking is affected by the foods themselves. Microwaves penetrate foods

to a depth of 1.8 to 3.8 cm (3/4 to 1/2 inches) on all surfaces. The interior of foods greater than 5 cm (2 inches) in
diameter heats by conduction. Food with high water, fat or sugar content respond quickly to microwave energy.

Quantity. Microwave cooking times are directly related to the amount of food in the oven, because energy is
absorbed by the food itself.

MICROWAVE COOKING PRINCIPLES

BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE

Size. Small pieces cook faster than large ones. To
speed cooking, cut pieces smaller than 5 cm (2
inches), so microwave can penetrate to the center
from all sides. For even cooking, make all the pieces
the same size.
Shape. Foods irregular in shape, like fish or chicken
breasts, take longer to cook in the thicker parts. To
help them cook evenly, place the thickest parts to the
outside of the dish, where they will receive more
energy.
Starting temperature. Frozen or refrigerated food
takes longer to heat than food at room temperature.
Moisture Content. Microwaves are attracted by
moisture. Naturally moist foods microwave better than

dry ones. Add a minimum of liquid to moist foods, as
excess water slows cooking. Prick foods with skins
like those on potatoes or squash, so internal steam
can escape.
Fat and Bone. Marbling within meat, or a thin, even
layer of fat on a roast, speeds cooking. Large fatty
areas or excess drippings in dish attract energy away
from meat to slow cooking. Center bones do not affect
cooking, but bone on the side of meat conducts heat
to the areas next to it.
Density. The depth to which microwaves penetrate
foods varies depending on their density. Porous foods,
like ground beef or mashed potatoes, microwave
faster than dense ones like steak or whole potatoes

minutes: touch 3-0-0) and START. 100% power is
automatically set. For 1-step cooking, you do not
have to touch COOK pad before setting time.

B. TO COOK AT LOWER POWER LEVELS

After setting cook time, touch POWER pad then
single digit representing the power level desired.
Touch START pad. Since oven automatically
assumes 100% power, you must switch power
level (when desired) after setting cook time.

USE THESE SINGLE DIGITS TO

REPRESNET POWER LEVELS

Digit % of Power

9 90%
8 80%
7 70%
6 60%
5 50%
4 40%
3 30%
2 20%
1 10%

.

8

C. TWO-STAGE COOKING

Two-stage cook function lets you cook a food at
two different power levels with one time setting.
For example, rice should be cooked in two stages.
Stage 1 starts rice at 100% power for 5 minutes;
stage 2 completes cooking 10-12 minutes at 50%
power level.
SET STAGE 1:
Assuming 100% power, just touch number pad
illustrated in “Quick and Easy” setting above for
correct first stage time. (Most 2 stage recipes start
with 100% power but you can also switch power
levels after setting cook time.)
DO NOT TOUCH START PAD.
SET STAGE 2:
Touch COOK pad then enter proper cooking time
and (lower) power level. (Most 2 stage recipes use
lower power for second stage.) Touch START
pad. First stage of cooking begins.
MEM (memory) word prompt shows on the display
during Stage 1 Cooking, indicating that the oven is
remembering that a second step (stage 2) has
been programmed. After Stage 1 time has elapsed,
signal may be heard, signaling the beginning of
Stage 2.
AFTER TOTAL TIME HAS ELAPSED, 4 long
beeps sound and END appears in display. Touch
RESET pad or open oven door to clear END
before starting another cooking function.

THESE ARE NORMAL:
Outside of oven may feel warm. Steam may
escape from oven or moisture in oven may be
seen after cooking.
Change in interior light intensity, and change in
blower sound when lower power setting are used.
TV or radio interference (similar to interference
experienced in other small appliances) may be
noticed. This does not indicate a problem.

4. SETTING “SPEED DEFROST”

A. Speed Defrost automatically sets microwave oven

power for quickest thawing of small to medium
size foods. Speed Defrost works in conjunction
with the Timer, so you must know how much time
to set. Speed Defrost thawing times are usually
fast enough that you stay close to oven and can
attend to the food as it is defrosting. Many foods
benefit from being turned over, rearranged or
broken apart (if separate pieces are frozen
together.) This attention makes defrosting faster
and more even. “How do I know whether to set
Speed Defrost or Defrost by Weight?” This is
determined by the type of food being defrosted
and amount of attention that must be paid to the
food. The automatic-coded Defrost by Weight
requires only turn-over of the meat.

l Touch SPEED DEFROST pad.

Word prompts ENTER DEF TIME shows on the
display.

l Enter desired Speed Defrost time by touching

correct number pads. Digital timer sets minutes
and seconds from left to right so a single digit can
be set (5 for 5 seconds) or up to 4 digits (2405 for
24 minutes 5 seconds). ENTER DEF remains on
the display. Touch START/STOP pad. DEF
flashes on the display and defrost time begins
counting down. AFTER TIME HAS ELAPSED
signal sound and END appears in display. Touch
RESET pad or open door to clear END before
starting another cooking function.

B. To set “SPEED DEFROST” and one or two-stage

cooking sequentially. After setting SPEED
DEFROST, oven can be programmed to
automatically switch to One or Two-Stage cook.

This feature is useful for frozen, moist casseroles

and similar foods which can be stirred while
reconstituting. After defrosting, cook at 100%
power level, then reduce to lower settings until
bubbling hot. Stir occasionally to break up and
redistribute heat.

l For Defrost and One Stage Cook, follow steps

above. Before touching START pad, touch COOK
pad, enter time using number pads and power if
desired. Then touch START pad. MEM shows on
the display until oven switches (beeps twice) to
COOK. See page 9 for detailed information on
Staged Cooking.

l For Defrost and Two Stage Cook, follow steps

above. Before touching START pad, enter two
COOK programs, using a different (usually lower)
power for the second COOK. MEM shows on the
display during both Defrost and first COOK stage.
Signal sound when switching stages.

INTERRUPT DEFROSTING (to stir food, turn it
over, or provide other attention). Either touch
START/STOP pad or open the oven door.
Unelapsed time will show on display; recluse the
door and restart to continue. Or if no additional
defrosting is required, touching RESET pad
clears the display.

5. SETTING COOK BY WEIGHT“

This feature is for roasting meats in the microwave.
Its pre-set times and power levels give better
results than microwaving at one power only, and it
is easier to microwave meat with this setting than
with cookbook instructions because you do not
have to calculate “minutes per pound” cooking
times. As soon as you enter the code (which tells
the oven the type of meat) and the weight, the
oven calculates cooking time. Meat must be
defrosted and at refrigerated temperature to
correspond with the pre-set times in this code.
Meat-roast weights in about the 3 to 5 pound
range microwave best, COOK BY WEIGHT code
allows a setting lower than 3 lb. but no higher than
5 lb. Depending on code, two beeps signal an
error in setting a too-high weight. “Cook by
Weight” programs the oven to stop after partial
cooking, so meat won’t overcook on one side.
Turn meat over, then touch START pad to
continue cooking.

l Touch CCOK BY WEIGHT pad. World prompt

shows ENTER CODE on display.

l Select desired code from 1 through 3. Door

frame (open the door to review) and chart at
right describe types of food for each code.

l Enter the one-digit code by touching the

correct number pad.

l Check weight of meat. Weight must be in

pounds and ounces. If label gives weight in
pounds only, change the fraction of a pound
to ounces using chart on page 11.

l Enter weight. Word prompt ENTER shows in

display and 0’s show where LB and OZ
should be entered. LB flashes until you enter
pound(s) by touching correct number pad.
When pound(s) has been entered, LB will
stop flashing and OZ will flash. As soon as all
these digits have been set, display will
immediately show cook time. Ounce weights
less than 10 must be preceded by a 0. As
soon as three digits are set, display
immediately shows cook time.

l Touch START/STOP to start oven, CODE

flashes in display as time counts down.
Interior light goes on and fan sound is heard.
Signal sound after about 1/4 time. If
necessary, check thin edges of meat and
poultry for shielding.

l After partial cooking, oven beeps twice and

stops. Interior light goes off but time remains
on the display. Stop is to prevent meat’s
overcooking on one side before turning over.
After turning meat over, touch START pad to
resume the time on display and finish
cooking.

l After total cooking time, 4 long beeps sound

and END appears in display. Touch RESET or
open oven door to clear END before starting
another cooking function. Let roast stand few
minutes before carving.

When oven switches power levels, you may
observe change in lighting intensity and/or
change in blower sound. This is normal.

6. Setting “defrost by weight”

Set DEFROST BY WEIGHT for any weight up to 6
pounds. Because it is a more gentle defrost
setting than “Speed Defrost”, it is especially good
for meats which are dense in the center but
vulnerable to overcooking on the edges. For
meats as small as a pound of hamburger or
delicate shrimp, choosing DEFROST BY WEIGHT
will give more even thawed results than SPEED
DEFROST setting. Choose DEFROST BY
WEIGHT for large roasts.

l Check weight of meat. It must be in pounds

and ounces. If label gives weight in pounds
only, you can change the fraction of a pound
to ounces using chart on page 11. Unwrap
meat before defrosting. Touch DEFROST BY
WEIGHT pad. Word prompt ENTER shows in
display and 0’s show where LB and OZ
should be entered. LB flashes until you enter
pound(s) by touching correct number pad.
When pound(s) has been entered, LB will
stop flashing and OZ will flash. As soon as all
these digits have been set, display will
immediately show cook time. Ounce weights
less than 10 must be preceded by a 0. As
soon as three digits are set, display
immediately shows cook time.

l Touch START/STOP pad to start oven. CODE

flashes in display as time counts down.
Interior light goes on, turntable rotates and
fan sound is heard.

l After partial defrosting, oven beeps twice and

stops. Interior light goes off but time remains
on the display. This pause in operation is to
allow turning over, rearranging or shield. After
attending to meat appropriately, touch START
to resume the time on display and finish
cooking. After total cooking time, 4 long
beeps sound and END appears in display.
Touch RESET or open oven door to clear
END before starting another cooking function.

Notes:

l Allow enough time for defrosting because it is

more slow and gradual than SPEED
DEFROST. With DEFROST BY WEIGHT, low
power microwaving is interspersed within
“resting” and “standing” periods where no
microwave at all enter the oven. These
no-microwave periods allow meat to equalize
in temperature before next period of
microwaving automatically comes on.

l “DEPROST BY WEIGHT” automatically sets

the correct thawing time, but you must enter
the food weight accurately. Weight must be in
pounds and ounces. Place meat on
microwave-safe rack in microwave roasting
dish. Place meats fat-side down and poultry
breast-side down.

7. SETTIGN “SAFETY LOCK”

The safety lock prevents unsupervised operation
by little children. During idle mode, press and hold
the RESET pad for 3 seconds to activate the child
lock function. To cancel the child lock, press and
hold the RESET pad for 3 seconds again in idle
mode.

ABOUT “ONE TOUCH” COOKING

Your oven has 6 “ONE TOUCH” cooking
programs for microwaving popular foods. When
selecting a “ONE TOUCH” setting, check visual
guide on pad for correct setting. Where dots (.) (..)
are shown on a “ONE TOUCH” pad, more than
one size of food can be cooked. Three “ONE
TOUCH” settings allow you to cook several
amounts (one or more items) of the same food.
These include the “FROZEN DINNER”, “BAKED
POTATO” and “BEVERAGE”. After you touch
these pads, AMT(amount) appears on the display
as a reminder to program the number of items you
are microwaving into the oven’s control. The
categories which have dots corresponding to two
sizes of foods include: “FROZEN DINNER”,
“BAKED POTATO”,”PIZZA” AND “BEVERAGE”.
In each “ONE TOUCH COOK” category, smaller
size food is set by touching pad once. One dot (.)
below picture of smaller-size food signifies one
touch of the pad. The large size can be set by
tapping the picture pad twice. Two dots (..) below
the picture of large size food signifies two taps of
the pad. Where AMT appears with “ONE TOUCH”
settings, setting a greater number of items than
allowed will result in two beeps, signaling an error.
The following pages give the maximum number of
items allowed for each setting.

SETTING “POPCORN”

The “POPCORN” control automatically sets the
correct COOK time for a 3 1/2 oz. bag of
microwave popcorn.

YOU CAN CHANGE THE POPCORN SETTING
TO “REMEMBER” A DIFFERENT

COOK TIME. You may wish to do this if your

favorite size of popcorn is something other than 3
1/2 oz. Sizes from the individual 2 oz. size up to
the larger “family size” packages are now
available. If you do change the popcorn setting,
however, the oven will continue to select the new
setting each time you touch the POPCORN pad
until you reset it again.
TO AVOID DISCOLRATION ON YOUR OVEN
TURNTABLE, set microwave popcorn packages
on a microwaveable saucer or other small plate.
The “this side down” side of microwave popcorn
bags contains a heat-absorbing lining which gets
very hot. Placing a saucer between the bag and
the turntable prevents the bag’s dyes from
staining the turntable when hot.

TIPS TO KNOW ABOUT MICROWAVE
POPCORN: Check popcorn as it pops and stop
when pops slow down to 3 seconds apart. Do not
try to re-pop unpopped kernels. Unless you have
a microwave recommended utensil for popping
corn, use only commercial bags of microwave
popcorn. Using glass or ceramic dishes or paper
bags may cause harm to oven. Be careful when
handling hot bags of popcorn. To prevent steam
burns, keep hands to sides of package, rather
than the top. Especially warn children of high heat
in popcorn bags.

1. Touch POPCORN Pad, COOK appears on the

display, along with time setting of 2:40 (2 min. 40
sec.). This pre-set cook time has been
coordinated with the oven’s wattage for best
results of a regular-size 3 1/2 oz. bag of popcorn.

2. Touch START pad. Word prompt COOK flashes
while the timer counts down during cooking
operation. Interior light goes on and fan sound is
heard. Turntable rotates. (For single popcorn bag,
leaving turntable on gives best cooking results.)
