WARNINGS
Arcing
Arcing is the microwave term that is defined as "Sparks in the Oven." Arcing is caused:
• If metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins or gold-rimmed dishes
are being used in the microwave when microwave oven is in use.
• If recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces being
used in the microwave.
• If foil paper is in the oven while oven is in use.
Food
• Cooking times given in the cooking guide are approximate. Factors that may
affect cooking are starting temperature, altitude, volume, size and shape of food and container used. As you become familiar with the oven, you will be able to adjust for these factors.
• Do not boil eggs in their shell. Pressure may build up and the eggs will explode.
• Potatoes, apples, egg yolks and whole acorn squash are examples of
food with "NONPOROUS SKINS." These must be pierced before cooking to prevent bursting.
• Popcorn must be popped in a microwave corn popper. Microwave popped
corn produces a lower yield than conventional popping. Do not use oven for popcorn unless popped in a microwave approved popcorn container or unless it’s commercially packaged and recommended for microwave ovens. Do not use oil unless specified by the manufacturer.
• Do not attempt to deep fry in your oven.
• DO NOT heat liquids in your microwave oven without first stirring.

Installing Microwave Oven
Unpacking Microwave Oven
1) Unpack the oven, remove all packing material, and examine the oven for any damage such as dents, broken door latches or cracks in the door. Notify the dealer immediately if the unit is damaged. Do Not install if the unit is damaged.
2) Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed materials before powering on the microwave oven.
Placement Of Microwave Oven
• The oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface.
• The oven may possibly cause reception interference on
radios and/or televisions.
• In order to eliminate or minimize interference to radios and televisions
from this microwave oven, the oven should be plugged into a separate electrical socket. In addition, the oven should be physically as far away from the radio or television as possible.
English
Proper Air Circulation
• For proper operation, the oven must have sufficient air-flow.
The following are recommended clearances around the oven: Sides…………………….2" (50mm) Top………………………1" (25mm) Back……………………..1" (25mm)
Electrical Requirement
• Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (115-Volt, 15 Amps Outlet)
with proper grounding to power the microwave oven.
• Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding
prong in order to accommodate a two-plug outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it provides no effective grounding for the microwave and may result in shock hazard.
• The electrical power cord must be kept dry and must not be pinched and
or crushed in any way.

Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounded plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
• Improper use of the plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
• Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Wiring Requirements:
• The oven must be plugged into at least 15 AMP 115-120 VOLT, 60 HZ GROUNDED OUTLET.
Note: Where a standard two-prong
outlet is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the consumer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong outlet.
• The oven must be on a SEPARATE CIRCUIT. No other appliance should share the circuit with the microwave oven. If circuit is shared with other appliances then it may trip.

Defrosting The Food
The defrost setting on your microwave oven enables easy and convenient thawing of frozen foods. The microwave energy heats the outer surface of the food and this heat is moved slowly to the center. This thaws the food evenly throughout.
In addition to defrosting, this defrosting setting can also be used for slower and gentler cooking. Soups stews, and some sauces can be cooked "Defrost" to blend flavors and tenderize meat. Foods with a high-milk, cheese or egg content may be cooked on the DEFROST setting to prevent curdling or toughness.
How to use the Defrost Setting:
1. Place food in the microwave oven and close the door.
2. Place the power select control at the DEFROST position.
3. Set the TIMER for the times suggested in the cooking
guide or as desired.

Proper Microwave Oven Care and Cleaning
Cleaning and Maintenance
Warning: To avoid electric shock always unplug your
microwave oven before cleaning. Ignoring this warning may result in death or injury.
Caution: Before using cleaning products, always read and
follow manufacturer’s instructions and warnings to avoid personal injury or product damage.
General: • Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of
baking soda mixed with warm water. Use sponge or soft cloth, dampened with the cleaning solution, to wipe down your microwave oven.
• Rinse with clean warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
English
• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach,concentrated detergents, solvents or metal scouring pads. SOME of these chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolor your microwave oven.
• Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food spatters or liquid spills, wipe with a damp cloth.
• To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, care should be taken so water does not sweep into the ventilation openings.
• If control panel becomes wet, clean with a soft, dry cloth. When cleaning control panel, leave oven door open to prevent the unit from accidentally turning on.
• If steam accumulates inside or around the outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high humidity conditions and in no way indicates a malfunction of the unit.
• The turntable and oven cavity floor should be cleaned regularly. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven and dry. The turntable may be washed in mild sudsy water or in the dishwasher.

Food Facts in Microwave Cooking
The quality of the food: Poor quality ingredients are rarely improved by any method of cooking and this applies particularly to microwave cooking, as the process is so fast.
Temperature: The colder the food before cooking, the longer it will take to cook. Quantity: The cooking time relates to the amount of food in the microwave oven.
Do not overload the microwave. For very large quantities it is better, and may be quicker, to cook in two or more batches.
Density: The more porous the food, the faster it will cook. A light airy cake mixture will cook faster than jacket potatoes.
Size and Shape: Uniform shapes cook more evenly. In an irregular shape, such as a leg of lamb, the thinner parts will cook faster than the thick part. The smaller the individual piece of food is (such as the vegetables in a soup) the quicker the cooking.
Moisture: There is very little evaporation in microwave cooking so foods can be cooked in minimum water. Casseroles need about half the usual amount of stock; vegetables need only two or three tablespoons of water.
Bones: Meat and poultry bones conduct heat, therefor the areas around them will cook faster than the rest of the meat. Insert a microwave meat thermometer into the thickest part of the flesh away from any bone for an accurate grading.

HM06R750 manual 10/22/01 11:16 AM Page 13
Language of Microwave Cooking
Timings: As a rough guide most foods will require approximately a quarter to one third of the conventional cooking time. If unsure, always underestimate the time needed, check the result and continue cooking if needed. When doubling a recipe, increase the cooking time by half and check the result.
Covering: Cover foods for the same reasons as in conventional cooking. This retains moisture, speeds up cooking and helps to tender the foods such as vegetables, casseroles and fish. Use a vented lid for foods with a high liquid content, such as soups. This allows steam to escape and prevent the liquid from boiling over. Roasting bags may be used to prevent splattering on the oven walls.
Standing time: Due to the heat penetration it is important to let cooked food wait a few minutes before serving.
Stirring: Food nearest the sides of the dish, cook faster than that at the center. Stirring will speed up its cooking time and ensure even cooking. Particularly sensitive foods, such as scrambled eggs and sauces, need frequent stirring during cooking.
English
Turning: When thawing, heating or cooking large items, start off by placing the food upsides down. Turn it over half way though the required time.
Arranging & Rearranging: the food at the outer edges of the turntable or dish generally receives more microwave energy than that at the center, so place thicker or large portions of the food to the outer edge. Rearranging, like stirring, moves the food and encourages even cooking.

Troubleshooting
Questions and Answers:
Q. Accidentally running of microwave oven without any food in it.
Is it damaged?
A. We do not recommend operating the microwave oven
without any food, however, running the oven empty for a short time
will not damage the oven. Q. What if oven does not turn on? A. Check the following:
1) Is the oven plugged in securely? Remove plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds and reinsert.
2) Check circuit breaker or fuse. Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse if it is tripped or blown.
Q. Can the oven be used with the glass tray removed? A. No. The glass tray must be positioned correctly in the
oven before cooking.
Q. Why does warm air come from the oven vents and steam accumulates on
the oven door?
A. This is due to heat being given off from food cooking in the oven cavity.
The warm air is carried out of the oven by the airflow pattern in the oven. There are no microwaves in the air. The oven vents should never be
blocked during cooking. During the cooking time, steam is given off from
the food. Most of the steam is removed from the oven by the air; which circulates in the oven cavity. However, some steam will condense on
cooler surfaces such as the oven door. This is normal. Q. My microwave causes interference on my TV. Is this Normal? A. Some Radio and TV interference might occur when you cook with the
microwave oven. This interference is similar to the interference caused by
small appliances such as mixers, vacuums, blow dryers, etc. It does not
indicate a problem with your oven. Q. Can TV dinner trays be placed in the oven? A. Only TV dinners labeled microwave safe are recommended for this oven.
Make sure foil covers are removed from top of container.
