(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.
Call toll-free: 1-888-281-5698 for ordering the kit to be
sent to your address.
The kit includes all the necessary parts and easy-tofollow instructions for installation as well as location
of the power supply. The MOTK-27SS (27") and
MOTK-30SS (30") kits include simulated frames, which
match the MO-24SS microwave oven.
The ease of assembly for these kits will allow installation into an existing wall opening in less than an hour
(if power outlet is already properly located).
All it takes are four steps and a Phillips screw driver.
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 DCS 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. It is normal
ABOUT FOOD
for the exterior of the oven to be warm to the touch
when cooking or reheating.
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'TFOOD DO
Eggs, sausages,
nuts, seeds,
fruits &
vegetables
Popcorn
Baby food
General
• Puncture egg yolks before cooking to
prevent “explosion”.
• Pierce skins of potatoes, apples,
squash, hot dogs and sausages so that
steam escapes.
• 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.
• Cook eggs in shells.
• SENSOR REHEAT whole eggs.
• Dry nuts or seeds in shells.
• Pop popcorn in regular brown bags
or glass bowls.
• Exceed maximum time on popcorn
package.
• Heat disposable bottles.
• Heat bottles with nipples on.
• Heat baby food in original jars.
• 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.

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. Make sure the
utensil does not touch the interior walls during cooking.
Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking
and reheating:
• glass ceramic (Pyroceram®), such as
Corningware®.
®
• heat-resistant glass (Pyrex
• microwave-safe plastics
• 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
Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for
microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven and
microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish which
becomes very hot should not be used.
)
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 accesso-
ries 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. DCS is not
responsible for any damage to the oven when accessories are 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.
2.DCS MO24SS / B268 10/31/2001, 4:25 PM7
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 25 for Child Lock feature.

Information You Need To Know
ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards
outside of dish.
• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount
of time indicated and add more as needed. Food
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 meat 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.
• Rearrange foods such as 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.
- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
- Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
ABOUT SAFETY
• Check foods to see that they are cooked to
the United States Department of Agriculture's
recommended temperatures.
TEMP FOOD
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 the 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-SENSOR
REHEAT refrigerated, and deli
and carry-out “fresh” food.
... white meat of poultry.
... dark meat of poultry.
• 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
cooking 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 DEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the
DEFROST CHART or is above or below the limits in
the “Amount” column on the DEFROST CHARTS
(page 21 and 22), you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using POWER LEVEL 3. Follow the
exact 3-step procedure found under To Set POWER
LEVEL. Estimate defrosting time and press POWER
LEVEL eight times for 30% power.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the
rule of thumb is approximately 4 minutes per pound.
For example, defrost 4 minutes for 1 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 1 minute increments at 30%
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.
TO SET POWER LEVEL
There are eleven preset power levels.
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.

Sensor
DCS's 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 2 minutes before
using SENSOR.
2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and
the interior of the oven are dry. W ipe 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 selection can be programmed with
More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 24.
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, the food name will
appear on the display . Do not open the oven door or
touch STOP/CLEAR 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 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
popping popcorn, the oven will turn off, and the
correct time of day will be displayed. If the sensor
does not detect vapor properly when cooking other

Cleaning And Care
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or leave the door open to inactivate the oven during cleaning.
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.
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. A void the use of spray and other harsh
cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.
Touch Control Panel
Care should be taken in cleaning the touch 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 pad.
Interior
Cleaning is easy because little 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.
Waveguide Cover
The waveguide cover is made from mica so requires special care.
Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good oven performance.
Carefully wipe with a damp cloth any food spatters from the surface
of the cover immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes may
overheat and cause smoke or possibly catch fire. Do not remove the
waveguide cover.
Odor Removal
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.
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 non abrasive scouring sponge. They are also
dishwasher-proof. Use upper rack of dishwasher. The turntable
motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should be wiped
up immediately.
