Check the microwave 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 microwave oven and contact your dealer or AUTHORIZED SERVICER.

Getting Started

Choosing a Location

For Your Microwave Oven on the Counter

Getting Started

You will use the microwave oven frequently so plan its location for ease of use. It’s wise, if possible, to have counter space on at least one side of the microwave oven. Allow at least 2 inches on the sides, top and at the rear of the microwave oven for air circulation.

For Your Built-in Microwave Oven

Your microwave oven can be built into a cabinet or wall by itself or above any electric wall oven or warming drawer.

See built-in trim kit installation instructions for proper location when building in above the speciﬁed ovens. Carefully follow both the oven installation instructions and built-in trim kit instructions.

The opening in the wall or cabinet must be within the following dimensions:

A HEIGHT : 16 B WIDTH : 24 C DEPTH : minimum 20"

Built-in Trim Kit

Frame Assembly

Microwave Oven Front

/4" - 17"

/8" - 24 11/16"

Outlet should NOT be in the shaded area as indicated.

1. If the dimension of DEPTH (C) is more than 21", the

outlet location may be any area on the rear wall.

2. The ﬂoor of the opening should be constructed of

plywood strong enough to support the weight of the microwave oven and ﬂoor load (about 100 pounds). The ﬂoor should be level for proper operation of the microwave oven. Be sure to check the local building code as it may require that the opening be enclosed with sides, ceiling and rear partition. The proper functioning of the microwave oven does not require the enclosure.

The built-in trim kit includes all the necessary parts and easy-to-follow instructions for installation as well as location of the power supply.

The ease of assembly for these kits will allow installation into an existing wall opening in less than an hour (if power outlet is already properly located).

All it takes are four steps and a Phillips screw driver.

Grounding Instructions

Getting Started

This appliance must be grounded. This microwave oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. 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, 15 amp. or more protected electrical supply. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

The microwave oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded. Should you only have a 2-prong outlet, have a qualiﬁed electrician install a correct wall receptacle.

A 3-prong adapter may be purchased and used temporarily if local codes allow. Follow package directions.

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

EXTENSION CORD

If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the microwave oven. The marked rating of the extension cord should be AC 115-120 volt, 15 amp. or more.

Be careful not to drape the cord over the countertop or table where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

Note:

1. If you have any questions about the grounding or

electrical instructions, consult a qualiﬁed electrician or service person.

2. Neither Viking Range, LLC nor the dealer can accept

any liability for damage to the microwave oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the correct 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 electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far away from the microwave oven as feasible or check position and signal of receiving antenna.

Information You Need To Know

Getting Started

ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

This Installation/Use and Care Manual is valuable: read it carefully and always save it for reference.

A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for microwave cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes.

NEVER use the microwave oven without the turntable and support nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could be placed in the microwave oven. The turntable will turn both clockwise and counterclockwise.

ALWAYS have food in the microwave oven when it is on to absorb the microwave energy.

When using the microwave oven at power levels below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is normal for the exterior of the microwave oven to be warm to the touch when cooking or reheating.

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 microwave oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones. Vents on the microwave oven back must not be blocked.

The microwave oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.

Your microwave oven is rated 1100 watts by using the IEC Test Procedure. In using recipes or package directions, check food a minute or two before the minimum time and add time accordingly.

ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE

Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave oven with a supervising person very near to them. Between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person should be in the same room.

The child must be able to reach the microwave oven comfortably; if not, he/she should stand on a sturdy stool.

At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the microwave oven door.

Children should be taught all safety precautions: use potholders, remove coverings carefully, pay special attention to packages that crisp food because they may be extra hot.

Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one cooking skill he/she can cook everything.

Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not a toy. See page 27 for Child Lock feature.

ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS

It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces already in your kitchen can be used successfully in your new microwave oven. Make sure the utensil does not touch the interior walls during cooking.

USE THESE UTENSILS FOR SAFE MICROWAVE COOKING AND REHEATING:

• glass ceramic (Pyroceram

• heat-resistant glass (Pyrex

• microwave-safe plastics

• paper plates

• microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain

• browning dish (Do not exceed recommended preheating time. Follow manufacturer's directions.)

THESE ITEMS CAN BE USED FOR SHORT TIME REHEATING OF FOODS THAT HAVE LITTLE FAT OR SUGAR IN THEM:

• wood, straw, wicker

DO NOT USE

• metal pans and bakeware

• dishes with metallic trim

• non-heat-resistant glass

• non-microwave-safe plastics (margarine tubs)

• recycled paper products

• brown paper bags

• food storage bags

• metal twist-ties

Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the microwave oven and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish which becomes very hot should not be used.

THE FOLLOWING COVERINGS ARE IDEAL:

• Paper towels are good for covering foods for reheating and absorbing fat while cooking bacon.

• Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheating.

• Plastic wrap that is specially marked for microwave use can be used for cooking and reheating. DO NOT allow plastic wrap to touch food. Vent so steam can escape.

• Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choice because heat is kept near the food to hasten cooking.

), such as Corningware®.

)

• Microwave oven cooking bags are good for large meats or foods that need tenderizing. DO NOT use metal twist ties. Remember to slit bag so steam can escape.

Information You Need To Know

Getting Started

HOW TO USE ALUMINUM FOIL IN YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN:

• Small ﬂat pieces of aluminum foil placed smoothly on the food can be used to shield areas that are either defrosting or cooking too quickly.

Foil should not come closer than one inch to any surface of

• the microwave oven.

Should you have questions about utensils or coverings, check a good microwave cookbook or follow recipe suggestions.

ACCESSORIES There are many microwave accessories available for purchase. purchase so that they meet your needs. A microwavesafe thermometer will assist you in determining correct doneness and assure you that foods have been cooked to safe temperatures. Viking Range, LLC is not responsible for any damage to the microwave oven when accessories are used.

Evaluate carefully before you

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: 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 possible.

• Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.

• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.

• Add standing time. Remove food from microwave oven and stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allows the food to ﬁnish cooking without overcooking.

• Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking temperatures have been reached.

Doneness signs include:

- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.

- Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.

- Poultry thigh joints move easily.

- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.

- Fish is opaque and ﬂakes easily with a fork.

ABOUT SAFETY

• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agriculture's recommended temperatures.

To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use.

TEMP FOOD

160˚F (71˚C) ...for fresh pork, ground meat,

boneless white poultry, fish, seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food.

165˚F (74˚C) ...for leftover, ready-to-reheat

refrigerated, and deli and carry-

out “fresh” food. 170˚F (77˚C) ... white meat of poultry. 180˚F (82˚C) ... dark meat of poultry.

• ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when handling utensils that are in contact with hot food. Enough heat from the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin burns.

• Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dish's covering and carefully open popcorn and microwave oven cooking bags away from the face.

• Stay near the microwave oven while it's in use and check cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food.

• NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other items.

• Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high quality and minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.

• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing and/or ﬁres.

• Use care when removing items from the microwave oven so that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not touch the safety door latches.

• Keep aluminum foil used for shielding at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from walls, ceiling and door of microwave oven.

MANUAL DEFROST

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the Super Defrost and Auto Charts or is above or below the limits in the “Amount” column on the Super Defrost and Auto Defrost Charts (pages 24 and 25), you need to defrost manually.

You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using Power Level 3. Follow the exact 4-step procedure found under To Set Power Level. Estimate defrosting time and press Power Level eight times for 30% power.

For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is approximately 4 minutes per pound. For example, defrost 4 minutes for 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.

Always stop the microwave oven periodically to remove or separate the portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the end of the estimated defrosting time, program the microwave oven in 1 minute increments at 30% until totally defrosted.

When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to place in a microwave-safe dish.

EEE14E14E

Sensor Options

The Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects the vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from the food as it heats. The sensor adjusts the cooking times and power level for various foods and quantities.

USING SENSOR SETTINGS:

1. After microwave oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using SENSOR OPTIONS.

2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the microwave oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.

3. The microwave oven works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, popcorn would be at room temperature.

4. Any SENSOR OPTIONS selection can be programmed with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 27.

5. More or less food than the quantity listed in the chart should be cooked following the guidelines in any microwave cookbook.

6. During the ﬁrst part of SENSOR OPTIONS, the food name will appear on the display. Do not open the microwave oven door or touch Stop/Clear during this part of the cooking cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this occurs, an error message will appear. To continue cooking, touch the Stop/Clear pad and cook manually.

When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the

food, remainder of cooking time will appear. The door may be opened when remaining cooking time appears on the display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as desired.

7. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when popping popcorn, the microwave oven will turn off, and the correct time of day will be displayed. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when cooking other foods,

ERROR

will be displayed, and the

microwave oven will turn off.

8. Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, continue to cook manually.

9. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch Help pad when the HELP indicator is lighted in the display.

COVERING FOODS:

Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover recommended in the SENSOR OPTIONS chart for these foods.

1. Casserole lid.

2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow approximately ½ inch to remain uncovered to allow steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not touch food.

3. Wax paper: Cover dish completely; fold excess wrap under dish to secure. If dish is wider than paper, overlap two pieces at least one inch to cover.

Be careful when removing any covering to allow steam to escape away from you.

Example:

You can cook many foods by simply selecting the food and touching Start/Touch On. You don’t need to calculate cooking time or power level.

• Suppose you want to reheat canned chili.

1. Touch Reheat pad.

2. Touch Start/Touch On pad.

TURNTABLE/TURNTABLE SUPPORT

The turntable and turntable support can be removed for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy water; for stubborn stains use a mild cleanser and non abrasive scouring sponge. They are also dishwasher-safe. Use upper rack of dishwasher. The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should be wiped up immediately.

Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open the microwave 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 pad.

INTERIOR

Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to the interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and setting of spills or spattering. To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use baking soda or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. NEVER SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS DIRECTLY ONTO ANY PART OF THE MICROWAVE OVEN.
