UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS

Unpacking and Examining Your Oven

Carefully remove oven from carton. SAVE THE CARTON AS IT MAY MAKE INSTALLATION EASIER. Remove:

1. All packing materials from inside

the oven cavity; however, DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER, which is located on the ceiling in the oven cavity. Check to see that there are Installation Instructions, Wall Template, Top Cabinet Template, bag of Installation Hardware, Charcoal

Filter and Exhaust Damper Assembly. Read enclosures and SAVE the Owner’s Instructions.

2. The feature sticker from the outside

of the door, if there is one. Check the oven for any damage, such as misaligned or bent door, damaged door seals and sealing surfaces, broken or loose door hinges and latches and dents inside the cavity or on the door. If there is any damage, do not operate the oven and contact your dealer. See Installation Instructions for more details.

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 grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING – Improper use of the

grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

The electrical requirements are 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.

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.

2. Longer cord sets or extension

cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

3. If a longer 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:

If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or service person. Neither Summit nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.

RADIO OR TV INTERFERENCE

Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven to your radio or TV, check that the microwave oven is on a different circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far away from the oven as feasible or check position and signal of receiving antenna.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW

ABOUT YOUR OVEN

NEVER use the oven without the turntable and support, nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could be placed in the oven. The turntable will turn both clockwise and counter-clockwise. The shelf gives you the option to reheat more than one dish of food at the same time. To reheat on 2 levels:

·Switch places after ½ the time.

·Make sure the shelf is positioned

properly inside the microwave to prevent damage to the oven from arcing.

·Do not use a microwave browning dish on the shelf. The shelf could overheat.

·Do not use the oven with the shelf on the microwave floor. This could

damage the microwave.

·Use pot holders when handling the shelf – it may be hot.

·Do not use the shelf when cooking popcorn.

ALWAYS have food in the oven when it

is on to absorb the microwave energy. When using the oven at power levels below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room humidity and the moisture in food will influence the amount of moisture that condenses in the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones. Ventilation openings must not be blocked. In using recipes or package directions, check food a minute or two before the minimum time and add time accordingly.

ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING

·Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.

Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest

amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.

· Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for suggestions: use paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.

· Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any thin areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking before dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.

·Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if
