MICROWAVE COOKING PRINCIPLES

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.

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:

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.

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

BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE

1. Check to ensure that the oven is plugged in

securely. If it is not, remove the plug from the

outlet, wait 10 seconds, and plug it in again

securely.

2. Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped

main circuit breaker. If these seem to be

operating properly, test the outlet with

IF NONE OF THE ABOVE RECTIFIES THE SITUATION, THEN CONTACT A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN.

DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE OVEN YOURSELF.

another appliance.

3. Check to ensure that the control panel is

programmed correctly and the timer is set.

4. Check to ensure that the door is securely

closed engaging the door safety lock system.

Otherwise, the microwave energy will not

flow into the oven.

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
