IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONSIMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including

the following:

WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure

to excessive microwave energy:

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2. Read and follow the specific "PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO

EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY" on page 1.

3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See

"grounding instructions” on page 4.

4. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation

instructions.

5. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers -for example, closed glass

jars- are able to explode and should not be heated in this oven.

6. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use

corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically

designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.

7. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.

8. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

a. Do not overcook food. Carefully monitor appliance when paper, plastic, or other

combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.

c. If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and

disconnect the power cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

d. Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking

utensils or food in the cavity when not in use.

9. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point

without appearing to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible bubbling or

boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present.

THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN A

SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of

injury to person:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

a. Do not overheat the liquid.

b. Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

c. Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

d. After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time

before removing the container.

e. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

10. Do not heat oil or fat for deep-frying. It is difficult to control the temperature of oil in

microwave oven.

11. Pierce foods with heavy skins such as potatoes, whole squash, apples and chestnuts

before cooking.

12. The contents of feeding bottles and baby jars should be stirred or shaken and the

temperature should be checked before serving in order to avoid burns.

13. Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food.

Potholders may be needed to handle the utensil.

14. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.

15. Do not store or use this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water, for

example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or similar

locations.

16. Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or a plug, if it is not working

properly or if it has been damaged or dropped.

17. Do not immerse cord or plug in water. Keep cord away from heated surface. Do not let

cord hang over edge of table or counter.

18. Use only thermometers, which are specifically designed for use in microwave ovens.

19. Do not operate any heating or cooking appliance beneath this appliance.

20. Be certain the glass tray and roller rings are in place when you operate the oven.

21. WARNING: It is hazardous for anyone other than a trained person to carry out any

service or repair operation, which involves the removal of any cover, which gives

protection against exposure to microwave energy. If there is any damage, do not

operate the oven and contact MC Appliance Corp. for service.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONSGROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding

reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

Electrical Requirements

The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 20 amp. It is recommended that

a separate circuit serving only the oven be provided. The oven is equipped with a 3-prong

grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and

grounded. This unit is not designed for recreational vehicles.

Power Supply Cord

1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming

entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

2. If long cord or extension cord is used

a) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least

as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

b) The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and The longer cord

should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top

where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Notes:

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

qualified electrician or service person.

2. Neither MC Appliance Corp nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to

the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical

connection procedures.

UTENSILS GUIDE

UTENSILS GUIDEUTENSILS GUIDE

This section lists which utensils can be used in the microwave, which ones have

limited use for short periods, and which ones should not be used in the microwave.

Recommended

·Microwave browning dish — Use to brown the exterior of small items such as

steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with your browning

dish.

· Microwaveable plastic wrap — Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for

some steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on the food.

·Paper towels and napkins — Use for short-term heating and covering; these

absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do not use recycled paper

towels, which may contain metal and could ignite.

·Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes — Use for heating or cooking.

·Paper plates and cups — Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do not use

recycled paper, which may contain metal and could ignite.

·Wax paper — Use as a cover to prevent spattering.

· Thermometers — Use only those labeled “Microwave Safe” and follow all directions.

Check the food in several places. Conventional thermometers may be used on

microwave food once the food has been removed from the oven.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Limited Use

Aluminum foil — Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed areas.

Using too much foil can damage your oven, so be careful.

·Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware — Use these if they are labeled “Microwave Safe”.

If they are not labeled, test them to make sure they can be used safely.

·Plastic — Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe”. Other plastics can melt.

·Straw, wicker, and wood — Use only for short-term heating, such as warming dinner

rolls for a few seconds; baskets and bowls may be flammable.

Not Recommended

·Glass jars and bottles — Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave. It can

shatter and cause damage and injury.

·Paper bags — These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that are designed for

microwave use.

·Styrofoam plates and cups — These can melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food.

·Plastic storage and food containers — Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in

the microwave.

·Metal utensils — These can damage your oven. Remove all metal before cooking.
