Arcing is the microwave term that is defined as "Sparks in the Oven." Arcing is caused:

• If metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins or gold-rimmed dishes

are being used in the microwave when microwave oven is in use.

• If recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces are being

used in the microwave.

• If foil paper is in the oven while oven is in use.

• Cooking times given in the cooking guide are approximate. Factors that may

affect cooking are starting temperature, altitude, volume, size and shape of food and container used. As you become familiar with the oven, you will be able to adjust for these factors.

• Do not boil eggs in their shell. Pressure may build up and the eggs will explode.

• Potatoes, apples, egg yolks and whole acorn squash are examples of

food with "NONPOROUS SKINS." These must be pierced before cooking to prevent bursting.

• Popcorn must be popped in a microwave corn popper. Microwave popped

corn produces a lower yield than conventional popping. Do not use oven for popcorn unless popped in a microwave approved popcorn container or unless it’s commercially packaged and recommended for microwave ovens. Do not use oil unless specified by the manufacturer.

• Do not attempt to deep fry in your oven.

• DO NOT heat liquids in your microwave oven without first stirring.

What is Safe Plug™ Technology?

In MicroFridge® combination appliances, Safe Plug™ technology utilizes patented, internal current-limiting circuitry that temporarily shuts off the refrigerator or refrigerator/freezer when the microwave is in use. When the microwave is finished, power to the refrigerator or refrigerator/freezer resumes. Our combination appliances never draw more than 10 - 12 amps and are specifically manufactured to reduce potential fire hazards that are caused by overloaded electrical circuits.

In a MicroFridge® combination appliance with Safe Plug™ technology, the refrigerator or refrigerator/freezer plugs into the back of the microwave, and the microwave plugs into the wall. This one-plug-to-thewall operation conserves electricity and frees up wall outlets. Most importantly, it allows our combination units to be used safely, without special wiring, even in older buildings.

Installing Microwave Oven

Unpacking Microwave Oven

1) Unpack the oven, remove all packing material, and examine the oven for any damage such as dents, broken door latches or cracks in the door. Notify the dealer immediately if the unit is damaged. Do Not install if the unit is damaged.

2) Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed materials before powering on the microwave oven.

Assembly Instructions

Remove all packaging material and accessories. Examine the oven for any damage, such as dents or broken door. Do not install if oven is damaged.

1. Place the oven on top of the approved MicroFridge® refrigerator carefully lining up screw holes of the refrigerator sash with microwave side holes.

• Do not block the inlet and outlet openings located at the rear and bottom of

the oven.

• Do not remove the feet from the bottom of the oven.

• Blocking the inlet and/or outlet openings can damage the oven.

• The cabinet is covered with a protective film, remove the film to fully show the

intended color and finish.

2. Attach the microwave oven to the refrigerator by screwing in the 4 four side and 1 rear srews.

• Six screws can be found in the attached bag.

3. Plug refrigerator into the socket provided in the rear of the microwave oven.

• The socket is intended for use with approved

MicroFridge® refrigerators. Use of this socket for other appliances may be hazardous.

• Model Number for approved MicroFridge®

refrigerator is located on the label on the rear of the microwave oven.

4. Plug your oven into a standard 120-volt/60Hz

household outlet. Be sure the elctrical circuit is at least 15 amperes and that your microwave

oven is the only appliance on the circuit. The MicroFridge® combination appliance will now operate without exceeding ten (10) amps of current draw.

Note: If your oven does not operate properly, unplug it from the 120 volt

household outlet and then plug it back in. This unit is not designed for 50Hz or any circuit other than 120 volt/60Hz AC current.

MHM-6TP manual.qxd 2003.11.10 14:50PM Page 7

English

Proper Air Circulation

• For proper operation, the oven must have sufficient air-flow. The following are recommended clearances around the oven: Sides…………………….2" (50mm) Top………………………1" (25mm) Back……………………..1" (25mm)

Electrical Requirement

• Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (115-Volt, 15 Amps Outlet) with proper grounding to power the microwave oven.

• Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding prong in order to accommodate a two-plug outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it provides no effective grounding for the microwave and may result in shock hazard.

• The electrical power cord must be kept dr y and must not be pinched and or crushed in any way.

Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounded plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

• Improper use of the plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

• Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Wiring Requirements:

• The oven must be plugged into at least 15 AMP 115-120 VOLT, 60 HZ GROUNDED OUTLET.

Note: Where a standard two-prong

outlet is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the consumer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong outlet.

Extension Cords:

We do not recommend that you use an extension cord.

Proper Microwave Oven Care and Cleaning

Cleaning and Maintenance

Warning: To avoid electric shock always unplug your

microwave oven before cleaning. Ignoring this warning may result in death or injury.

Caution: Before using cleaning products, always read and

follow manufacturer’s instructions and warnings to avoid personal injury or product damage.

General: •Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of

baking soda mixed with warm water. Use sponge or soft cloth, dampened with the cleaning solution, to wipe down your microwave oven.

• Rinse with clean warm water and dry with a soft cloth.

• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach,concentrated detergents, solvents or metal scouring pads. SOME of these chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolor your microwave oven.

• Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food spatters or liquid spills, wipe with a damp cloth.

• To prevent damage to the operating par ts inside the oven, care should be taken so water does not sweep into the ventilation openings.

• Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open the oven door before cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close door and touch STOP/CLEAR.

• If steam accumulates inside or around the outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high humidity conditions and in no way indicates a malfunction of the unit.

• The turntable and oven cavity floor should be cleaned regularly. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven and dry. The turntable may be washed in mild sudsy water or in the dishwasher.

Food Facts in Microwave Cooking

The quality of the food: Poor quality ingredients are rarely improved by any method of cooking and this applies particularly to microwave cooking, as the process is so fast.

Temperature: The colder the food before cooking, the longer it will take to cook. Quantity: The cooking time relates to the amount of food in the microwave oven.

Do not overload the microwave. For very large quantities, it is better, and may be quicker, to cook in two or more batches.

Density: The more porous the food, the faster it will cook. A light air y cake mixture will cook faster than jacket potatoes.

Size and Shape: Uniform shapes cook more evenly. In an irregular shape, such as a leg of lamb, the thinner parts will cook faster than the thick part. The smaller the individual piece of food is (such as the vegetables in a soup) the quicker the cooking.

Moisture: There is ver y little evaporation in microwave cooking so foods can be cooked in the minimum water. Casseroles need about half the usual amount of stock; vegetables need only two or three tablespoons of water.

Bones: Meat and poultr y bones conduct heat, therefor the areas around them will cook faster than the rest of the meat. Insert a microwave meat thermometer into the thickest part of the flesh away from any bone for an accurate grading.

MHM-6TP manual.qxd 2003.11.10 14:51PM Page 18

Page 19

English

Language of Microwave Cooking

Timings: As a rough guide most foods will require approximately a quarter to one third of the conventional cooking time. If unsure, always underestimate the time needed, check the result and continue cooking if needed. When doubling a recipe, increase the cooking time by half and check the result.

Covering: Cover foods for the same reasons as in conventional cooking. This retains moisture, speeds up cooking and helps to tender the foods such as vegetables, casseroles and fish. Use a vented lid for foods with a high liquid content, such as soups. This allows steam to escape and prevent the liquid boiling over. Roasting bags may be used to prevent splattering on the oven walls.

Standing time: Due to the heat penetration it is important to let cooked food wait a few minutes before serving.

Stirring: Food nearest the sides of the dish, cook faster than that at the center. Stirring will speed up its cooking time and ensure even cooking. Particularly sensitive foods, such as scrambled eggs and sauces, need frequent stirring during cooking.

Turning: When thawing, heating or cooking large items, start off by placing the food upsides down. Turn it over half way though the required time.

Arranging & Rearranging: the food at the outer edges of the turntable or dish generally receives more microwave energy than that at the center, so place thicker or large portions of the food to the outer edge. Rearranging, like stirring, moves the food and encourages even cooking.

Troubleshooting

Questions and Answers:

Q. Accidentally running of microwave oven without any food in it.

Is it damaged?

A. We do not recommend operating the microwave oven

without any food, however, running the oven empty for a shor t time

will not damage the oven. Q. What if oven does not turn on? A. Check the following:

1) Is the oven plugged in securely? Remove plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds and reinsert.

2) Check circuit breaker or fuse. Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse if it is tripped or blown.

Q. Can the oven be used with the glass tray removed? A. No. The glass tray must be positioned correctly in the

oven before cooking.

Q. Why does warm air come from the oven vents and steam accumulates on

the oven door?

A. This is due to heat being given off from food cooking in the oven cavity.

The warm air is carried out of the oven by the airflow pattern in the oven. There are no microwaves in the air. The oven vents should never be blocked during cooking. During the cooking time, steam is given off from the food. Most of the steam is removed from the oven by the air; which circulates in the oven cavity. However, some steam will condense on

cooler surfaces such as the oven door. This is normal. Q. My microwave causes interference on my TV. Is this Nor mal? A. Some Radio and TV interference might occur when you cook with the

microwave oven. This interference is similar to the interference caused by

small appliances such as mixers, vacuums, blow dryers, etc. It does not

indicate a problem with your oven. Q. Can TV dinner trays be placed in the oven? A. Only TV dinners labeled microwave safe are recommended for this oven.

Make sure foil covers are removed from top of container.
