QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
OPERATION
Q. What is wrong when the oven light will not
glow?
A. There may be several reasons why the oven
light will not glow.
• The light bulb has burned out.
• START has not been touched.
Q. Why is steam coming out of the air exhaust
vent?
A. Steam is normally produced during cooking.
The microwave oven has been made to vent
this steam.
Q. Can the microwave oven be damaged if it
operates empty? -
A. Yes. Never operate while empty or without the
turntable positioned correctly on the roller rest.
Q. When the oven is plugged into a wall outlet for
the first time, it might not work properly. What
is wrong?
A. When the oven is plugged in for the first time
or when power resumes after a power
interruption, the microcomputer used in the
oven control may temporarily become
scrambled and fail to function as programmed.
Unplug the oven from the wail outlet and then
plug it back in. The microcomputer will then
reset for proper functioning.
Q. Why do I see light reflection around the outer
case?
A. This light is from the oven light located outside
the oven cavity.
Q. Why is there noise coming from the turntable
when the oven is turned on?
A. This noise occurs when the turntable roller rest
and cavity bottom are dirty. Frequent cleaning
of these parts should eliminate or reduce the
noise.
Q. Instructions for aluminum foil use are
confusing. When should I use foil?
A. It should be used to shield portions of food
from becoming overcooked or overdefrosted.
Use small flat pieces of foil for shielding.
(Refer to page 8)
FOODS
Q. What is wrong when baked foods have a hard,
dry, brown spot?
A. This is caused by overcooking. Shorten
cooking or reheating time.
Q. Why do eggs sometimes pop?
A. The egg yolk may pop because of steam
build-up inside the membrane. To prevent this,
simply pierce the membrane with a toothpick
before cooking it.
CAUTION: Never microwave eggs in the shell
since they may explode.
Q. Why are scrambled eggs sometimes a little dry
after CQoking?
A. Eggs dry out if they are overcooked. You may
need to vary the cooking time for one of these
reasons:
• Eggs vary in size.
• Eggs are at room temperature one time and at
refrigerator temperature another time.
• The shapes of utensils vary, which makes it
necessary to vary cooking time.
• Eggs continue cooking during standing time.
Q. What is wrong when three potatoes bake
thoroughly and the fourth one is still not
cooked?
A. The fourth potato may be slightly heavier than
the others and should be cooked 30 to 60»
seconds longer. Remember to allow one inch
(2.5 cm) around each potato when baking. For
more even cooking, place potatoes in a circle.
Q. Why do baked apples sometimes burst during
cooking?
A. As in regular cooking methods, steam is
formed in the interior of the apple, causing it to
swell and expand during the cooking process.
Q. How are boil-overs avoided?
A. Use a larger utensil than usual for cooking. If
you open the oven door or touch STOP/CLEAR,
the food will stop boiling.
Q. Why does the dish become hot when I
microwave food in it?
A. As the food becomes hot it will conduct the
heat into the dish. Use oven mitts to remove
food after cooking.
16
CLEANING
Wipe the oven inside and outside with a soft cloth
and a mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe
dry, This should be done on a weekly basis - more
often if needed. Never use cleaning powders or
rough pads. Excessive oil splatters on the inside
top will be difficult to remove if left for many days.
Wipe spatters with a wet paper towel, especially
after cooking chicken or bacon.
REMOVABLE PARTS
The following parts may be removed as described.
They should be washed in warm (not hot) water
with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Once they
are clean, rinse them well and dry with a soft cloth.
Never use cleaning powders, steel wool or rough
pads.
• The turntable may be cleaned at the sink. Be
careful not to chip or scratch the edges as this
may cause the turntable to break during use.
• The turntable roller rest should be cleaned
regularly.
SPECIAL CARE
For best performance and safety, the inner door
panel and the oven front frame should be free of
food or grease buildup. Wipe them often with a
mild detergent. Then rinse and wipe dry. Never
use cleaning powders or rough pads.
After cleaning the control panel, touch
STOP/CLEAR to clear any entries that might have
been entered accidentally while cleaning the panel.
CAUTION - Product Damage Hazard
Uncleaned cavity cover (located in the right
side wall of the oven cavity) will cause fire,
burn or sparking.
Clean your oven with wet towel.

INSTALACION
Extraiga todos los materiales de embalaje y los
accesorios.
Examine el horno para ver si tiene algún daño,
como por ejemplo golpes o si la puerta está rota.
No instale el horno si está dañado.
1. Seleccione una superficie nivelada que
proporcione suficiente espacio libre (vea la
ilustración de la derecha) para las rejillas de
entrada y/o salida.
• Deje una holgura mínima de 3 pulgadas
(7,5 cm) por encima del horno.
• No saque las patas de la parte inferior del
horno.
• Si se bloquean las aberturas de entrada y/o
salida puede dañarse el horno.
• No instale el horno sobre otro horno, cocina de
gas ni otro aparato que produzca calor.
Se requiere una holgura mínima de 3
pulgadas (7,5 cm) entre el horno y cualquier
pared adyacente. Un lado debe estar
abierto.
2. Enchufe el horno en una toma de corriente
normal de 120 voltios/60 Hz. Asegúrese de que
el circuito eléctrico tenga por lo menos
15 amperios y que su horno de microondas sea
el único electrodoméstico en el circuito.
Para instalar el horno debajo del mueble de

TIEMPO DE COCINADO
Este método básico para cocinar

permite cocinar la comida por el
tiempo deseado. Aparte del nivel
de potencia máxima, Hl POWER
se puede seleccionar de 9
niveles de poder, 1 (10 % de la
potencia total) hasta 9 (90% de
la potencia total) para las
comidas que requieren ser
cocinadas más lentamente. El
horno tiene también el nivel de
potencia 0 (sin potencia) para
poder utilizar el reloj como
temporizador de minutos. Para
más detalles, consulte la página
29. -
Comidas con altas cantidades de
humedad deben de ser
cocinadas con la máxima
potencia ya que éste es el modo
más rápido y mantiene mejor la
textura y sabor de las comidas.
Para comprobar el nivel de
potencia mientras el horno este
en uso, simplemente oprima
POWER LEVEL.
El nivel de potencia aparece en
la ventanilla de indicaciones.
