GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, the grounding plug reduces  
the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for 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 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.  
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 appliance. The marked  
rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.  
WARNING:  
Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord under any circumstances.

INSTALLATION  
1. Examine the oven after unpacking.  
Check for damage such as a misaligned door, broken door or dent in the cavity.  
If any damage is visible, DO NOT INSTALL, and notify your dealer immediately.  
2. Level, flat location.  
Install the microwave oven on a level, flat surface.  
3. Ventilation.  
Do not block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the oven may overheat and eventually cause a  
failure.  
For proper ventilation, allow 4 inches (10.16 cm) of space between oven top, sides, rear and adjacent surfaces.  
4. Keep away from radio and TV sets.  
Poor television reception and radio interference may result if the oven is located close to a TV, radio, antenna,  
feeder, etc.  
Place the oven as far from them as possible.  
5. Keep away from heating appliances and water taps.  
Keep the oven away from heat, steam or splashing liquids. These things can adversely affect oven wiring and  
contacts.  
6. Power supply.  
• Check your local power source.  
This microwave oven requires a current of approximately 12 amperes, 120Volts, 60Hz grounded outlet.  
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 long cord or extension cord is used:  
• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical  
rating of the appliance.  
• The extension cord must be a grounding type 3-wire cord.  
• The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be  
pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.  
7. The minimum height of free space necessary above the top surface of the oven is about 4 inches (10.16 cm).  
When use 3-pronged plug  
When use grounding adaptor, make sure  
the receptacle box is fully grounded.

1. It is important not to defeat or tamper with safety  
interlocks.  
i) Door (bent)  
ii)  
Hinges and Hooks (broken or loosened).  
iii) Door seals and sealing surfaces.  
2. Do not place any object between the oven front  
face and the door or allow residue to accumulate on  
sealing surfaces. Wipe the sealing area frequently  
with a mild detergent, rinse and dry. Never use  
abrasive powders or pads.  
4. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by  
anyone except a properly trained service  
technician.  
5. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food  
deposits removed;  
3. When opened, the door must not be subjected to  
strain, for example, a child hanging on an opened  
door or any load could cause the oven to fall  
forward to cause injury and also damage to the  
door. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged, until  
it has been repaired by a competent service  
6. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition  
could lead to deterioration of the surface that could  
adversely affect the life of the appliance and  
possibly result in a hazardous situation.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS  
* Q :Can the oven be used with the glass tray or  
roller guide removed?  
* Q :What does “standing time” mean?  
* A : “Standing time” means that food should be  
removed from the oven and covered for  
additional time to allow it to finish cooking. This  
frees the oven for other cooking.  
* A : No. Both the glass tray and roller guide must  
always be used in the oven before cooking.  
* Q :Can I open the door when the oven is  
operating?  
* A : The door can be opened anytime during the  
cooking operation. Then microwave energy will  
be instantly switched off and the time setting  
will maintain until the door is closed.  
* Q :Why does my oven not always cook as fast  
as the microwave cooking guide says?  
* A : Check your cooking guide again, to make sure  
you’ve followed directions exactly ; and to see  
what might cause variations in cooking time.  
Cooking guide times and heat settings are  
suggestions, to help prevent over-cooking... the  
most common problem in getting used to a  
microwave oven.  
* Q :Why do I have moisture in my microwave  
oven after cooking?  
* A : The moisture on the side of your microwave  
oven is normal. It is caused by steam from  
cooking food hitting the cool oven surface.  
Variations in the size, shape and weights and  
dimensions could require longer cooking time.  
Use your own judgement along with the  
cooking guide suggestions to check whether  
the food has been properly cooked just as you  
would do with a conventional cooker.  
* Q :Does microwave energy pass through the  
viewing screen in the door?  
* A : No. The metal screen bounces back the energy  
to the oven cavity. The holes are made to allow  
light to pass through. They do not let  
* Q :Will the microwave oven be damaged if it  
operates while empty?  
microwave energy pass through.  
* A : Yes. Never run it empty.  
* Q :Why do eggs sometimes pop?  
* A : When baking or poaching eggs, the yolk may  
pop due to steam build-up inside the yolk  
membrane. To prevent this, simply pierce the  
yolk with a toothpick before cooking. Never  
cook eggs without piercing their shells.  
* Q : Can I operate my microwave oven without  
the turntable or turn the turntable over to  
hold a large dish?  
* A : No. If you remove or turn over the turntable,  
you will get poor cooking results. Dishes used  
in your oven must fit on the turntable.  
* Q :Why is standing time recommended after  
the cooking operation has been completed?  
* A : Standing time is very important.  
* Q : Is it normal for the turntable to turn in either  
direction?  
With microwave cooking, the heat is in the  
food, not in the oven. Many foods build up  
enough internal heat to allow the cooking  
process to continue, even after the food is  
removed from the oven. Standing time for joints  
of meat, large vegetables and cakes is to allow  
the inside to cook completely, without  
* A : Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or  
counterclockwise, depending on the rotation of  
the motor when the cooking cycle begins.  
* Q : Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven?  
How do I get the best results?  
* A : Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn  
following manufacture’s guidelines. Do not use  
regular paper bags. Use the “listening test” by  
stopping the oven as soon as the popping  
slows to a “pop” every 1 or 2 seconds. Do not  
repop unpopped kernels. Do not pop popcorn  
in glass cookware.

USE YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN SAFELY  
General Use  
Do not attempt to defeat or tamper with safety  
interlocks.  
Do not place any object between the oven front frame  
and the door or allow residue to build up on sealing  
surfaces. Wipe with a mild detergent, rinse and dry.  
Never use abrasive powders or pads.  
Do not subject the oven door to strain or weight such  
as a child hanging on an open door.  
This could cause the oven to fall forward resulting in  
injury to you and damage to the oven.  
Do not operate the oven if door seals or sealing  
surfaces are damaged; or if door is bent; or if hinges  
are loose or broken.  
Do not operate the oven empty. This will damage the  
oven.  
Do not attempt to dry clothes, newspapers or other  
materials in the oven. They may catch on fire.  
Do not use recycled paper products as they may  
contain impurities which may cause sparks or fires.  
Do not hit or strike the control panel with hard objects.  
This can damage the oven.  
Food  
Never use your microwave oven for home canning.  
The oven is not designed for proper home canning.  
Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous  
to consume.  
Always use the minimum recipe cooking time. It is  
better to undercook rather than overcook foods.  
Undercooked foods can be returned to the oven for  
more cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can be  
done.  
Heat small quantities of food or foods with low  
moisture carefully. These can quickly dry out, burn or  
catch on fire.  
Do not heat eggs in the shell. Pressure may build up  
and eggs can explode.  
temperature to even out, stir during heating, if  
necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating. To prevent  
eruptive boiling and possible scalding, you should put  
a spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir  
before, during and after heating.  
Do not leave the oven unattended while popping corn.  
Do not pop corn in a paper bag unless it is the  
commercially prepared Microwave Popcorn product.  
The kernels can overheat and ignite a brown paper  
bag.  
Do not put packaged Microwave Popcorn bags directly  
on the oven tray. Place the package on a microwave  
safe glass or ceramic plate to avoid overheating and  
cracking the oven tray.  
Potatoes, apples, egg yolks and sausages are  
examples of food with non-porous skins.  
These must be pierced before cooking to prevent  
bursting.  
Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven.  
Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds  
after the oven has been switched off to allow the  
Do not exceed the Microwave Popcorn manufacturers  
suggested popping time.  
Longer popping does not yield more popcorn but it can  
result in buring the popcorn or risk of fire. Remember,  
the Popcorn bag and tray can be too hot to handle.  
Remove with caution and use pot holders.  
ARCING  
If you see arcing, touch the STOP/CANCELpad and correct the problem.  
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven.  
Arcing is caused by:  
• Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.  
• Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like  
antennas).  
• Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or gold rimmed  
dishes, in the microwave.  
• Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces  
being used in the microwave.
