INSTALLAT,ON
A. GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
This equipment must be properly grounded. In
the case of an electrical short circuit, the fact
of being connected to ground reduces the risk
of electric shock by providing an escape wire
for electricalenergy.This appliance is equipped
with a cord with three prong plug (one of which
for grounding). (see Figure 1) to minimize the
possibilitythat this apparatus produzoa an electric
shock. This plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and grounded.
Improper use of the plug of land canresult in
electrical short. Do not, cut do not remove the
third grounding terminal, underany ircumstance,
the balance. You will do well to consult a qualied
electricianif these grounding instructions have not
been sufcently under stood or if doubt persists
about how this unit can be con nected toground.
If you only have a conventional two clavijeras
outlet is the responsibility and obligation of the
consumer have it replaced by one of three,
properly grounded.
ATTENTION
Plug the adapter ground terminal to the wall outlet
does not make the connection to ground except that
the screw holding the receptacle cover is metal, not
isolated, and the wall outlet is grounded through
wiring system house or building.
1) In situations where the power cord of the
appliance must be disconnected frequently, do not
use a plug adapter as the power cord disconnect
cause undue pressure on the adapter ring and
eventually leads to their usefulness. If the user
has a two-prong outlet, you must have it replaced
by one of three, per a technician electrician.
b) If you must use an extension cord, use only one
of three wires that plug has three blades or blades
and a receptacle that will accept the plug on the
appliance. The ability of the extension must be
equal to or greater than the electric capacity of the
apparatus.
NOTES:
1. A short power cord is provided with this unit
in order to reduce the risk of tangling with the
same or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Cords available estbn longer appropriate but
should be used with due care.
3. If Ilegara to use a longer cord (1), the electric
capacity of the cord must be at least equal to
the capacity of the apparatus. (2) the extension
cord should be the type that has three wires
and grounding and (3) the resulting long cord
should be arranged rnanera that does not fall
to the sides of the table where this appliance
where it can be pulled by children or tripped
over accidentally.
B. CIRCUITS
For security reasons, this oven must be connected
to a circuit of 15 amperes. No other appliance
should be connected to the same circuit. If in
doubt, consult a qualied electrician.
C. PREVENTION OF VOLTAGE
The outlet voltage must be the same as specied
on the serial plate is located on the back of the
unit or next to the furnace control panel. Theuse
of higher voltages can be dangerous and cause
res or other accidents that are causing damage
to the oven. Insufcient voltage,moreover, can
result in slower cocciónde. If your microwave is
no t functioning normally in order to be related to
the source of AC poweand voltage,disconnect the
power cord and reconnect it.
D. LOCATION OF THE OVEN.
Your microwave oven can be easily installed in
your kitchen, the living room of the family or any
another room of the house. Place the oven on a
at surface like the kitchen cupboard or on a cart
specially designed for use with microwave ovens.
Never place it on top of a stove or gas or electric
stove. It is important that air can ow around the
furnace.
E. DO NOT BLOCK AIR
DUCTS All outlets should be kept free of
obstruction during the cooking function. If the
outputs are covered during the operation of the
oven, this can overheat. In this case, a sensitive
safety device automatically shuts down the oven.
The oven will remain unable to function until it has
cooled sufciently.
F. RADIO INTERFERENCE

HOW TO GET THE BEST POSSIBLE
RESULTS OF YOUR MICROWAVE.
The instructions in this manual have been
made to provide excellent support for good
kiln operation, the food you prepare or cook
in the oven will get a good result if you put
attention on the steps. Always check food while
on the cooking process. Your microwave oven
is equipped with an inner light that turns on
automatically when you open the oven door or
when in operation. This way you can see food
and therefore how the process of cooking.
Factors that affect the cooking time: To check
the voltage in your oven, refer to the drawing
at the beginning of this book. Many factors
affect the cooking time. The temperature of
the ingredients used in a recipe makes a big
difference in cooking time. For example, a
cake made with butter, eggs and milk cold or
chilled, would take considerably more time than
that which is made with ingredients at room
temperature. All recipes in this book indicate
cooking time ranges. Generally nd that the
food is not well cooked using smaller ranges
of time, and sometimes you wanted to cook
for longer than suggested cooking according
to your personal preference. The philosophy
that governs this book is that it is better to be
conservative in the cooking time for the recipe,
since the food infracocinada becom. However,
some, particularly those relating to breads,
pastries and meats, including suggestions that
the food is removed from the oven while still
slightly infracocinada are. This is not a mistake.
When given a chance to rest, food continues
to cook outside the oven, as the heat trapped
in the outer portions of food moves inward. If
you keep food in the oven until they are fully
cooked, the outer portions are overcooked or
even burnt. As you gain experience in using
your microwave, you yourself may more
efciently estimate the appropriate time for
cooking and to rest, the different foods.pleted,
while overcooked food is lost.

OTHER USEFUL INSTRUCTIONS
SPECIAL TECHNIQUES FOR
MICROW AVE COOKING
To brown: Meat and poultry that are cooked 10 to
15 minutes or more, will brown slightly through its
own fat. Foods that have to cook for less time, they
can permeate sauces and reach that appetizing
brown color. The sauces most commonly used are
the “Worcestershire” or Worcestershire sauce, the
soy or soy and barbecue sauce, or barbecue. As
the amount of sauce used to brown is small, the
original avors of the recipes are not altered.
Covers or guards: The cover traps heat and
steam which causes food to cook faster. You can
use either the lid or cover the pan with plastic wrap
(“Plastic wrap”) but always leaving a corner open to
vent steam.
Covered with wax paper: Wax paper efectively
prevents the food from splashing into the oven and
while maintaining the heat. But as a cover or lid
over loose lid or transparent paper, allows food to
dry a bit.
Wrap in waxed paper or paper towel:
sandwiches and many other foods containing
bread and baking should be wrapped before
microwaving to prevent drying.
Ordering and spacing: Food in units as baked
potatoes, cakes and sandwiches or antipasto
glasses, cook more evenly if placed in the oven
with at least an inch of separation between them,
preferably in a circular pattern. Never put food on
the other.
Stir: Stir food is one of the most important
techniques for microwave cooking. In conventional
cooking, food riots are in order to mix them.
However, microwave baked goods are stirred to
disperse and redistribute the heat. Always stir from
the outside toward the center and outside the food
is heated rst.
Flip: food big and tall, such as roasts or whole
poultry should be turned so that the top and bottom
will cook evenly. It is also a good idea to cut the
poultry or meat loaf.
Placing thicker portions facing out: Since
microwaves are attracted to the outside of food,
it makes sense to put lots of meat, poultry and
sh, on the edge of baking dish. Thus, the thicker
portions cook alike.
Protecting: In order to prevent the corners of
square or rectangular food is cooked too much with
the microwaves, they are covered with aluminum
foil pieces that block microwave. Never use too
much foil and make sure it is well adhered to the
plate as cause sparks in the oven.
Elevation: Thick or dense foods are often high so
that microwaves can be absorbed by the inside and
the food center.
Punch: To prevent food burst e
or are covered by husks, shells, skins or membranes
should drill them before cooking. These foods
include the white and egg yolk, scallops, oysters and
many vegetables and whole fruits.
Test if they are cooked: Because the food is
cooked very quickly in the microwave, you need to
check frequently. Aigunos food is left in the oven
until they are fully cooked, but most foods, including
meat and poultry, are removed from the oven when
they lack a bit allowing them to nish cooking during
standing time. The internal temperature [as food to
rise between 5 ° F (3 ° C) and 15 ° F (8 ° C) during
rest time.
Standby time:
between 3 and 10 minutes after removing from
oven. Usually you keep food covered to retain
heat unless the texture has to be dry (such as
cakes and cookies), Rest allows meals are nished
cooking and the avor is impregnated and develop.
Often foods are allowed to stand

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FOOD
AND ITS EFFECT ON THE R ANGE
MICROWAVE.
Density:
Food lightweight, porous, such as cakes
and breads are cooked food more rapidly than
heavy and dense roasts and casseroles eat.
You should be careful that the edges of light foods
do not dry out and break. Tape the edges with
stove or baking paper to a higher level baio.
Height:
The top high food, particularly roasts, will
cook more rapidly than the bottom. Therefore, it is
wise to turn tall food during cooking, sometimes
with frequency.
Moisture content:
microwaves, so dry foods such as roasts and some
vegetables should be soaked before cooking or
covered to keep the steam.
Bone and fat content:
attract large amounts of fat microwave energy.
Therefore, care must be taken when cooking
cuts of meat with bones and fat, they do not cook
unevenly or to overcook.
Form a meal:
inch (2.5 cm) meals, the food inside is cooked thick
with the heat from penetrating the outside inward.
In other words, only the outside of any food is
actually cooked by microwave energy. The rest is
cooked by convection. It follows, therefore, that the
worst possible way for a meal that would horrneada
microwave, is a large square. The corners will burn
long before the center even hot.
Quantity:
remains constant regardless of the amount of food
that is cooking. Therefore, the more food you put
in your oven, but cooking time will be needed.
Remember to reduce the cooking time by at least
one third when one half of the food.
