IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Owner's Manual for

WARNING

To reduce the risk of re in the oven cavity:

1. DO NOT overcook food.

2. DO NOT place paper, plastic or other combustible materials inside the oven if these materials are not intended for cooking by the manufacturer.

3. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in the oven.

4. If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven door closed, disconnect the power cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

5. DO NOT use the cavity for storage purposes.

6. DO NOT leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the cavity when not in use.

WARNING

Liquids such as water, coffee or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. 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 THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

1. DO NOT overheat the liquid.

2. Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating/cooking.

3. DO NOT use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

4. After heating/cooking, take extensive care removing the container from the cavity.

5. Use extreme care when inserting utensils into the container.

CAUTION

To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage, observe the following guidelines:

1. DO NOT use metal cookware in the oven. Doing so may result in damage to the unit.

2. DO NOT cook without product in the oven. Doing so may result in damage to the unit.

3. DO NOT deep fry fat in the oven. The fat could overheat and be hazardous to handle.

4. Pierce the skin of potatoes, tomatoes and similar foods before cooking with microwaves. When the skin is pierced, steam escapes evenly.

5. DO NOT place popcorn bags in this oven as they may ignite.

6. DO NOT use regular cooking thermometers in this oven when cooking with microwaves. Most cooking thermometers contain mercury and may cause an electrical arc, malfunction or damage to the oven.

7. DO NOT use metal utensils in the oven except as recommended by Duke.

8. Never use paper, plastic or other combustible materials that are not intended for cooking. If the oven temperature is too high, some materials may ignite. Plastic can also melt, posing a potential health hazard.

9. The oven temperature is set between 375 °F (191°C) and 500 °F (260 °C) in cook mode. Verify that plastic, paper or other combustible materials are recommended by the manufacturer to withstand the maximum oven temperature.

10. DO NOT use paper towels, which contain nylon

or other synthetic bers. Heated synthetics could

melt and contaminate food or cause paper to ignite.

11. Racks, utensils, containers and oven surfaces will be hot during and after use until the oven is fully cooled down. Use utensils or protective clothing, like pan grips or dry oven mitts, when necessary to avoid burns.

12. DO NOT unplug the oven immediately after use. The internal fans must cool the oven to avoid damage to electrical components.

13. Consult a physician or the pacemaker manufacturer about the effects of microwave energy on pacemakers to avoid malfunction.

MAIN FEATURES

1. CONTROL PANEL

This is the electronic control board that is programmable for different menus, temperature settings, convection blower (fan) speeds (Variable 1 to 9) and microwave power. It has some statistical and service diagnostics.

2. OVEN DOOR AND CAVITY

The oven door and cavity are constructed from stainless steel and must be kept clean (see CARE AND CLEANING instructions).

3. CONVECTION AIR

The unit has two blower systems (left and right) for distributing the air on the product. The blower system can be operated at different speeds

(Variable 1 to 9) for higher efciency of cooking,

browning, etc. The nozzle openings must be kept clean and free of debris (see CARE AND CLEANING instructions).

4. DOOR

The door is pulled towards the user and rotates downward to open. The door is designed with interlocks for microwave safety. DO NOT use the door to support heavy items. It must be kept clean (see CARE AND CLEANING instructions).

5. DOOR SEAL

The seal prevents the microwave barrier in the door from accumulating debris. They should be kept clean and checked regularly for signs of

damage. At the rst sign of wear they should be

replaced by Duke approved service agent.

6. AIR VENT

The large air vent at the top of the cavity is part of the convection system. It must be kept free from obstruction. It will not allow microwave energy to escape into the environment.

MAIN FEATURES

7. COOLING LOUVERS

The louvers prevent electrical components inside the oven from overheating by supplying cold air. Although the oven has only a clearance requirements to the left adjacent wall with 0.5

in. (1.3 cm), these louvers should be cleaned from obstructions between the rib openings and preferably have access to open air.

8. EXHAUST VENT

The exhaust vent is at the rear of the oven. This enables steam to escape and prevents build up of condensation. It will not allow microwave energy to escape into the environment.

9. COOLING FANS

Cooling fans are mounted to bring in cool air from the room into and exhaust hot air from the machinery compartment. Fans should be inspected for operation regularly.

INSTALLATION

Owner's Manual for

DUKE DG2 Speed Oven

Unpacking Oven

• Inspect the oven for damage such as dents in the door or inside the oven cavity.

• Report any dents or breakage to source of purchase immediately. Do not attempt to use

oven if it is damaged.

• Remove all materials from oven interior.

• If oven has been stored in an extremely cold

area, wait a few hours before connecting power.

Radio Interference

Microwave operation may cause interference to radio, television or a similar oven. Reduce or eliminate interference by taking the following precautions:

• Clean the door and sealing surfaces of the oven according to the instructions in the CARE AND CLEANING section.

• Place radios, televisions and similar electronic devices as far as possible from the oven.

• Use a properly installed antenna on radio, television and similar electronic devices to obtain stronger signal reception.

Oven Placement

• Do not install oven adjacent to a source of heat such as pizza oven or deep fat fryer. This could cause the microwave oven to operate improperly and shorten the life of electrical parts.

• Install the oven on a level countertop surface.

• If provided, place warning label in an obvious

place close to the microwave oven.

• The outlet should be located so that the plug is accessible when the oven is in place.

Oven Clearances

• Allow at least 6 in. (15.2 cm) of clearance on top.

• No clearance is required at the back.

• A clearance of 0.5 in. (1.3 cm) is necessary

between side panels and adjacent walls.

• A clearance of 3 in. (7.6 cm) is required to operate two ovens side by side or the clearance to an adjacent similar heat source.

• Proper airow around the oven cools electrical components. With restricted airow, the oven

may not operate properly and life of the electrical parts is reduced.

• Install the oven so the oven bottom is at least 36

in. (93.0 cm) above the oor.

• When stacking ovens, ONLY use the Duke stacking frame.
