PRECAUTIONS
TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE
TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
1. Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result
in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety
interlocks.
2. Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door.
3. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close
properly and that there is no damage to the:
a. Door (bent).
b. Hinges and latches (broken or loosened).
c. Door seals and sealing surfaces.
4. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service
personnel.
CAUTION
1. Do not attempt to tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to the door, control panel
housing, safety interlock switches or any other part of the oven. Do NOT remove outer panel from
oven. Repairs should only be done by a qualified service person.
2. Do not operate the oven when it is empty. The microwave energy will reflect continuously
throughout the oven if no food or water is present to absorb energy.
3. If a fire occurs in the oven, press the ON/OFF key to shut the oven off. LEAVE THE DOOR
CLOSED. Disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
4. Do not attempt to dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven. They may catch fire.
5. Do not use recycled paper products, as they may contain impurities which may cause sparks
and/or fires.
6. Do not use newspapers or paper bags for cooking.
7. Do not hit or strike control panel. Damage to controls may occur.
8. Cooking trays and containers can become hot, oven mitts or pot holders should be used.
9. Do not store flammable materials next to, on top of, or in the oven. It could be a fire hazard.
10. Do not use the inside surfaces of the oven for direct food contact. Always use approved
utensils and cookware.
11. Before removing a tray or container from the oven, prepare a place to put it. Do not place
the hot tray on wood, plastic, formica, or other burnable surfaces.

INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND CARE OF
MODEL HFBMW FLASHBAKE
®
MICROWAVE OVEN
GENERAL
Your Hobart FlashBake® Microwave oven is a versatile oven that employs a revolutionary high quality,
high-speed cooking technology. This new technology cooks the outside of foods, while also penetrating
the surface so the inside cooks simultaneously. Foods cook evenly and fast, retaining their natural
moisture. Bread products brown and become crisp while vegetables retain their color and texture.
While halogen light is the primary source of power, a "microwave boost" is automatically added with
certain foods. The oven can also be used solely as a 950 watt microwave oven.
It is suggested that you thoroughly read this manual and carefully follow all of the instructions provided.
INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
Immediately after unpacking the oven, check for possible shipping damage. If this oven is found to be
damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
Prior to installation, verify that the electrical supply agrees with the specifications on the data plate
located on the back of the oven. If the supply and specifications do not agree contact your local Hobart
Service Office immediately.
Peel the protective shipping film from the exterior of the oven before installation or use.
LOCATION
Locate the oven on a smooth, flat and stable surface. Do not place the oven in a hot or damp area, i.e.,
near a gas or electric range. The oven must not be located above or next to sources of excessive heat
or greasy air. There must be a 3" (76 mm) clearance on the sides and back of the oven for free air flow.
It is recommended that the oven be located so the housing can be removed for service. The housing
should NOT be removed by anyone except qualified service personnel.
Locate oven on a level counter surface. The counter must be 36
of supporting the 80 lb. (36 kg) ovenload.
Radio Interference
1
/2" (916 mm) or higher and capable
There is possibility of a small amount of interference with weak broadcast signals if the oven is too close
to a radio or TV or similar equipment. If interference is present, it may be reduced by:
1. Cleaning the door and sealing surface of the oven.
2. Increasing the separation of the oven from the receiving device.
3. Using an antenna to obtain stronger signal reception for the receiving device.

Tip Bracket
The tip bracket is a safety feature designed to help keep the oven stable when the door is open. Proper
installation is important!
• Position the oven in its final location.
• As you are looking at the back of the oven, position the tip bracket on the bottom back right side
of the oven (Fig. 1).
• Use the existing hole on the back of the oven to secure the tip bracket to the oven back.
• Anchor the bracket to the counter surface.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING: ELECTRICAL AND GROUNDING CONNECTIONS MUST COMPLY WITH THE
APPLICABLE PORTIONS OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE AND/OR OTHER LOCAL
ELECTRICAL CODES.
WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY AND PLACE A TAG AT THE DISCONNECT
SWITCH TO INDICATE YOU ARE WORKING ON THE CIRCUIT.
WARNING: APPLIANCES EQUIPPED WITH A FLEXIBLE ELECTRIC SUPPLY CORD ARE PROVIDED
WITH A FOUR-PRONG GROUNDING PLUG. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THIS PLUG BE CONNECTED
INTO A PROPERLY GROUNDED FOUR-PRONG RECEPTACLE. IF THE RECEPTACLE IS NOT
THE PROPER GROUNDING TYPE, CONTACT AN ELECTRICIAN. DO NOT REMOVE THE
GROUNDING PRONG FROM THIS PLUG.
The electrical diagram is located in an envelope behind the control panel.
For Hard-Wired Ovens
Have a qualified electrician wire the oven into a properly rated dedicated circuit, connecting to the wires
and conduit provided. Use appropriate conduit, strain relief, wire and connectors. Care should be
taken not to damage the wire when applying setscrew type connectors. If connecting to aluminum
wiring, properly installed connections listed for use with aluminum and copper wiring must be used.
For Cord-Connected Ovens
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord. Do not use an extension cord.
Plug the oven into a dedicated circuit outlet of the appropriate NEMA style and rating. The wall outlet
receptacle recommended for this appliance is NEMA 14 - 30R.
NOTE: Both hot legs must measure 120V to neutral. Do not connect this oven to a source using a
stinger
or
wild leg
