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 the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the oven be provided. Using a high voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire or other accident causing oven damage. WARNING!--Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Note:

1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or service person.

2. Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.

The wires in this cable main are colored in accordance with the following code: Green and Yellow = EARTH Blue = NEUTRAL Brown = LIVE

Page 7

Radio Interference

Operation of the microwave oven can cause interference to your radio, TV, or similar equipment. When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the following measures:

1. Clean door and sealing surface of the oven.

2. Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.

3. Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver.

4. Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.

5. Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that microwave oven and receiver are on different branch circuits.

Before Calling For Service

Before asking for service, please check each item below:  Check to ensure the oven is plugged in securely. If not, remove the plug from the outlet,

wait 10 seconds, and plug it in again securely.

 Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. If these seem to be

operating properly, test the outlet with another appliance.

 Check to ensure the control panel is programmed correctly and the timer is set.  Check to ensure the door is securely closed, engaging the door lock system. If the door is

not properly closed, the microwave energy will not flow inside. IF NONE OF THE ABOVE RECTIFIES THE SITUATION, THEN CONTACT A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN. DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE OVEN YOURSELF.

Cooking Techniques

1. Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.

2. Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.

3. Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.

4. Turn foods over once during microwave cooking to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.

5. Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.

Page 8

Cooking Utensils Guide

1. The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwave, it allows energy to pass through the container and heat the food.

2. Microwave 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. Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as food in corners tends to overcook.

5. Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. But be careful don’t use too much and keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between foil and cavity.

The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils.
