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. Microwaves 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.
CONTINUES ON PAGE 5
4
MICROWAVE COOKING PRINCIPLES
Size. Small pieces cook faster than large ones. To speed cooking, cut pieces smaller than 5 cm (2 inches), so microwaves 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

time, start oven by pressing the CLOCK pad twice.
l TO RECALL TIME OF DAY WHILE YOU ARE
COOKING, press the CLOCK pad. Time of the day will be displayed for 3 seconds before returning to displaying the counting down of the cooking time.
l IN CASE OF POWER FAILURE, when the power
has been restored, the control will be in a clock set mode. Follow the directions for setting the clock.
l BEEPS DURING OVEN SETTING, ONE BEEP:
Oven accepts the entry. Information has been entered in the correct sequence. TWO BEEPS: Oven does not accept the entry. Check and try again.
2. SETTING THE OVEN TIMER
A. Timer works independent from cooking and can be
set anytime for various kitchen tasks. Use oven timer though oven is also timing a microwave cooking function. Set time as follows:
l Touch the TIMER pad. Word prompts ENTER
TIMER TIME show on the display. If you are using the TIMER while cooking in the oven: Cooking time countdown will be temporarily replaced on the display while timer is being set.
l Enter the amount of time you wish to set by
touching the correct number pads. Digit time is in minutes and seconds and set left to right. Set one digit (a 5 for 5 seconds) or up to four digits (2405 for 24 minutes, 5 sec-seconds). ENTER TIMER remains on the display.
l Touch START/STOP pad. Word prompt TIMER

OPERATION take care to set timer correctly. Once the timer is set during cooking, setting cannot be changed without resetting the cooking function at the same time. Touching RESET will not allow you to change timer setting while cooking.
l When end of time has been reached, one long
beep can be heard and timer will leave the display. If oven is not cooking, CLOCK and time of day (if set) will return to the display. If oven is in cooking operation, one long beep can be heard and TIMER will leave display while oven is continuing cooking time countdown.
3. SETTING THE COOKING TIME & POWER
LEVEL
A. QUICK & EASY
When cooking at 100% power, simply set cook time by touching number pads (for example, 3 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.
9
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; reclose 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 wont overcook on one side. Turn meat over, then touch START pad to continue cooking.
10
l Touch COOK BY WEIGHT pad. World prompt
shows ENTER CODE on display.

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 0s 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 DEFROST 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.

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 ovens 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 DISCOLOURATION 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 bags 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 ovens 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.)
