To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity: a) DO NOT overcook any food. Carefully attend to the microwave 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 into the oven. c) If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven OFF, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off the power at the fuse or the 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. 17. 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 persons: a) DO NOT overheat the liquid. b) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating. 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. 18. DO NOT use the microwave oven to heat corrosive chemicals (e.g. sulfides and chlorides). Vapors from such corrosive chemicals may interact with the contact and springs of the safety interlock switches, thereby rendering them inoperable. 19. Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times. Wipe the oven interior with a soft damp cloth after each use. If you leave grease or fat anywhere in the cavity it may overheat, smoke, or even catch fire when next using the oven. 20. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot control the temperature, and doing so may lead to overheating and fire. 21. DO NOT operate the oven without the glass tray in place. Be sure it is properly sitting on the rotating base. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 7 AFTER SALES SUPPORT 888 775 0202 www.mcappliance.com 43265-13 4 Installation 1. Examine the microwave oven after unpacking. Check for damages such as a misaligned door, broken door or dent in the cavity. If any damage is found, DO NOT install, and notify your dealer immediately. 2. Install the microwave oven on a flat, level surface. 3. Check the ventilation. DO NOT block the air vents. If the air vents are blocked during operation, the oven may overheat and eventually fail. For proper ventilation, allow 4 inches (10.16 cm) of space between the oven top, sides, rear, and adjacent surfaces. 4. Install the microwave oven away from the 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. Install the microwave oven away from heating appliances and water taps. Keep the oven away from heat, steam, or splashing liquids. These things can adversely affect the wiring and electrical conduction contacts of the microwave oven. 6. Check the power supply. a) Check your local power source. The microwave oven requires a current of approximately 12 Amperes, 120 Volts, and a 60 Hz grounded outlet. b) A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. c) Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. d) If a longer cord or extension cord is used: • The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at the very least equal to the electrical rating of the appliance. • The extension cord must be a grounding type, 3-wire cord. • A longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. e) The power supply cord is a 3-prong grounding plug. When using a grounding adaptor, ensure the receptacle box is fully grounded.

Tones The microwave oven uses audible signals (i.e., tones) that indicate the following: One Tone One short tone indicates a valid entry. One short tone when cooking in stages indicates the end of the first stage. One long tone indicates activation or deactivation of the Child Safety Lock. Five Tones Five tones indicates the end of the cooking cycle. Five tones indicates the end of the kitchen timer countdown. 13 AFTER SALES SUPPORT 888 775 0202 www.mcappliance.com 43265-13 7 Operation Microwave Oven Use A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves that reflect off the interior cavity; passing through the turntable and appropriate cookware to cook the food. The produced microwaves are attracted to and absorbed by fat, sugar, and water molecules in the food; thereby causing the molecules to move and produce friction that creates heat required to cook the food. 1. To avoid damage to the microwave oven, DO NOT lean on or allow children to swing on the microwave oven door. 2. To avoid damage to the microwave oven, DO NOT operate the unit when it is empty. 3. Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in the microwave oven. 4. Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including brown paper bags and newspapers, should not be dried in the microwave oven. 5. Paraffin wax will not melt in the microwave oven because it does not absorb the microwaves. 6. Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from the microwave oven. 7. DO NOT overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended cooking time, potatoes should be slightly firm. Let the potatoes stand for approximately 5 minutes. The potatoes will finish cooking during standing time. 8. DO NOT cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst, requiring significant cleanup of the microwave oven cavity. Cover the poached eggs and allow for standing time. Food Characteristics When cooking with the microwave, the portion, size and shape, composition and density, and starting temperature of the food affect the overall cooking results. • Amount of Food Longer cooking times are needed when greater amounts of food are heated altogether. Check the cooking results of the food and add small increments of time, if necessary. • Size and Shape Smaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger pieces, and uniformly shaped food cook more evenly than irregularly shaped food. 14 AFTER SALES SUPPORT 888 775 0202 www.mcappliance.com 43265-13 • Composition and Density Foods high in fat and sugar will reach a higher temperature, and will heat faster than other foods. Heavy, dense foods, such as meat and potatoes, require a longer cook time than the same size of a light, porous food, such as cake. • Starting Temperature Room temperature food will heat faster than refrigerated food, and refrigerated food will heat faster than frozen food. Cooking Guidelines • Covering Covering food helps to retain moisture, shorten cook time, and reduce spattering. Use the lid supplied with the cookware. If a lid is not available, microwave-safe products, including wax paper, paper towels, or plastic food wraps, may be used with the microwave oven. The plastic food wrap should be turned back at one corner to provide an opening to vent steam. Condensation on the door and cavity surfaces are normal during heavy cooking. • Stirring and Turning Stirring and turning redistributes heat evenly to avoid overcooking the outer edges of food. Stir from the outside to the center. If possible, flip the food over from top to bottom. • Arranging Arrange thinner portions or smaller sized items toward the center of the plate when cooking irregularly shaped or different sized foods. When cooking several items of the same size and shape, place them in a ring pattern, thereby leaving the center of the ring empty. • Piercing Before heating, use a fork or small knife to pierce foods that have a skin or membrane, including potatoes, egg yolks, chicken livers, hot dogs, or sausages. Be sure to pierce the item in several places to allow steam to vent. • Shielding Use small, flat pieces of aluminum foil to shield the thin pieces of irregularly shaped foods and bones, including chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails. See the “Aluminum Foil and Metal” section found on pg. 16 first. • Standing Time The food will continue to cook by the natural conduction of heat even after the cooking cycle ends. The length of standing time depends on the volume and density of the food. 15 AFTER SALES SUPPORT 888 775 0202 www.mcappliance.com 43265-13 Cookware and Dinnerware The cookware and dinnerware must fit onto the turntable. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling since the dish may become extremely hot from heat being transferred from the food. DO NOT use any cookware and dinnerware with gold or silver trim. Use the following chart as a general guideline and test the materials before using them with food: Material Recomendations Aluminum Foil, Metal See the “Aluminum Foil and Metal” section found on pg. 16. Browning Dish The bottom must be at least 3/16” (5 mm) above the turntable. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. Ceramic Glass, Glass Not recommended for use.

Testing the Cookware or Dinnerware for Microwave Oven Use: 1. Place the cookware or dinnerware into the microwave oven with 1 cup (250 mL) of water beside it. 2. Cook the respective items at 100% cooking power for 1 minute. DO NOT use any cookware or dinnerware if it becomes hot, while the water inside the cup remains cool. Aluminum Foil and Metal Always use oven mitts or pot holders when removing dishes from the microwave oven. Certain aluminum foils and metals can be used in the microwave oven. Always follow the brand manufacturer’s recommendations before using it with the microwave oven. If not used properly, arcing (a blue flash of light) can occur and cause damage to the microwave oven. 16 AFTER SALES SUPPORT 888 775 0202 www.mcappliance.com 43265-13 Acceptable for Use Racks and bakewares supplied with the microwave oven (if applicable), certain aluminum foils for shielding, and approved meat thermometers may be used with the following guidelines: 1. To avoid damage to the microwave oven, DO NOT allow the aluminum foil or the metal to come in contact with the cavity, including the side walls, ceiling, or floor. 2. Always use the supplied turntable. 3. To avoid damage to the microwave oven, DO NOT allow the item to come in contact with another metal object during the cooking cycle. Unacceptable for Use Metal cookware and bakeware; metals such as gold, silver, or pewter; unapproved meat thermometers; skewers; twist ties; or foil liners such as sandwich wrappers or staples; objects with gold or silver trim; or objects with a metallic glaze are not recommended for use in the microwave oven. Microwave Cooking Power Many recipes for the microwave cooking functions specify which cooking power is recommended for use by percent, name or number. For example, 70% = 7 = Medium-High. Use the following chart as a general guideline for the suggested cooking power of specific foods: Percent/Name Number Display Use 100%, High (default setting) 10 PL10 For quick heating convenience foods and foods with high water content, including soups, beverages, or most vegetables. 90% 9 PL9 For cooking small, tender pieces of meat, ground meat, poultry pieces, or fish fillets. 80% 8 PL8 70%, Medium-High 7 PL7 60% 6 PL6 50% Medium 5 PL5 For heating rice, pasta, or mixable casseroles.

Wipe with a mild detergent, rinse, and dry thoroughly. • DO NOT 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 and damage to the oven. • DO NOT operate the oven if the door seals or sealing surfaces are damaged, if the door is bent, or if the 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 • DO NOT use the 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 the recipe rather than overcook the food. Undercooked food can be returned to the oven for additional cooking. If the food is overcooked, nothing can be done. • Carefully heat small quantities of food with low moisture, as it can quickly dry out, burn, or catch on fire. • DO NOT heat eggs in the shell. Pressure may build up, causing eggs to explode. • Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, and sausages are examples of food with non-porous skins. These types of food must be pierced before cooking to prevent bursting. • DO NOT attempt to deep fry fat in your microwave oven. Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been switched OFF to allow the temperature to even out; or 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. 25 AFTER SALES SUPPORT 888 775 0202 www.mcappliance.com 43265-13 • DO NOT leave the oven unattended while popping popcorn. • DO NOT pop popcorn 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 exceed the microwave popcorn manufacturer’s 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 always use pot holders. • 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. Arcing Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. If you see arcing, press the STOP/ CLEAR button on the control panel and correct the problem. 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. • Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces. 26 AFTER SALES SUPPORT 888 775 0202 www.mcappliance.com 43265-13 Care and Cleaning 9 Unit The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed. 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. 1. Unplug the power cord before cleaning any part of the oven. 2. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food spatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty. The use of harsh detergent or abrasives is not recommended. 3. The outside oven surface should be cleaned with soap and water, rinsed and dried with a soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings. 4. If the control panel becomes wet, clean with a soft, dry cloth. DO NOT use harsh detergents or abrasives on the control panel. 5. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of 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 malfunction of the unit. 6. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm, soapy water or in a dishwasher. 7. The roller guide and oven cavity floor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with a mild detergent mixed with water or window cleaner and dry thoroughly. 27 AFTER SALES SUPPORT 888 775 0202 www.mcappliance.com 43265-13 Turntable Turntable 1. DO NOT operate the oven without the turntable in place. 2. DO NOT use any other glass tray with the oven. 3. If the turntable is hot, ALLOW TO COOL before cleaning or placing it in water. 4. DO NOT cook directly on the turntable; use a platter container. Roller Guide Roller Guide 1. 2. The roller guide and oven floor should be cleaned frequently to prevent excessive noise. The roller guide must always be used for cooking together with the turntable. Although the oven is provided with safety features, it is important to observe the following: 1. DO NOT defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks. 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. 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, as well as damage to the door. DO NOT operate the oven if it is damaged, until it has been repaired by a qualified service technician. It is particularly important that the oven closes properly and that there is no damage to the: a) Door (bent) b) Hinges and Latches (broken or loosened) c) Door seals and sealing surfaces. 4. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except a qualified service technician. 5. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed. 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. 28 AFTER SALES SUPPORT 888 775 0202 www.mcappliance.com 43265-13 10 Troubleshooting Before you call for service, refer to following checklist for common problems: The oven does not work. Sparking appears in the cavity. • Check that the power cord is securely plugged in. • Check that the door is firmly closed. • Check that the cooking time is set. • Check for a blown circuit fuse or tripped main circuit breaker in your house. • Check for utensils. Metal containers or dishes with metal trim shouldnot be used. • Check that the containers are free of metal skewers. • Check that the container does not use metal foil or touch the interior walls. If there is still a problem, contact After Sales Support for assistance or service. 29 AFTER SALES SUPPORT 888 775 0202 www.mcappliance.com 43265-13 11 FAQ Q : Can I use the oven with the glass tray or the roller guide removed? A : No. Both the glass tray and the roller guide must always be properly installed in the oven while cooking. Q : Can I open the door when the oven is operating? A : The door can be opened anytime during the cooking operation. The microwave energy will be instantly switched OFF and the time setting will remain until the door is closed. Q : Why do I have moisture in the 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. Q : Does the 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 microwave energy pass through. 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 : What does “Standing Time” mean? A : “Standing Time” means that the food should be removed from the oven and covered for an additional amount of time to allow the food to finish cooking. This also frees the oven for other cooking duties. Q : Why is “Standing Time” recommended after the cooking operation has completed? A : “Standing Time” is very important. With microwave cooking, the heat is in the food, not in the oven. Many types of food build-up enough internal heat to allow the cooking process to continue, even after the food is removed from the oven. Standing time for meat, large vegetables, and cakes is to allow the inside to cook completely, without overcooking the outside. Q : Why does the 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. The cooking guide times and heat settings are suggestions to help prevent overcooking. The most common problem in 30 AFTER SALES SUPPORT 888 775 0202 www.mcappliance.com 43265-13 getting used to a microwave oven. Variations in the size, shape, weights, and dimensions could require longer cooking time settings. 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 : Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates while empty? A : Yes. Never run the oven empty. 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 flip the turntable, you will get poor cooking results. Dishes used in your oven must fit on the turntable. Q : Is it normal for the turntable to turn in either direction? 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. Microwave packaged popcorn by following the manufacturer’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 to 2 seconds. DO NOT repop unpopped kernels. DO NOT pop popcorn in any glass cookware. 31 AFTER SALES SUPPORT 888 775 0202 www.mcappliance.com 43265-13 12 Warranty Limited Warranty MC Appliance corp. warrants each new 1.1 cu. ft.
