Do not use this product near damage, do not operate the oven and water, for example, near a kitchen sink, contact your dealer or Sunbeam in a wet basement, or near a swimming authorized servicer. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This appliance must be grounded. 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. 3 SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Electrical Requirements The electrical requirements are a 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. 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 shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance. Notes: 1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or service person. 2. Neither Sunbeam 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, relocated the radio or TV as far away from the oven as feasible or check position and signal of receiving antenna. UTENSILS GUIDE This section lists which utensils can be used in the microwave, which ones have limited use for short periods, and which ones should not be used in the microwave. Recommended ·Microwave browning dish — Use to brown the exterior of small items such as steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with your browning dish. ·Microwaveable plastic wrap — Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on the food. ·Paper towels and napkins — Use for short-term heating and covering; these absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and could ignite. 4 SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS ·Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes — Use for heating or cooking. ·Paper plates and cups — Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do not use recycled paper, which may contain metal and could ignite. ·Wax paper — Use as a cover to prevent spattering. ·Thermometers — Use only those labeled “Microwave Safe” and follow all directions. Check the food in several places. Conventional thermometers may be used on microwave food once the food has been removed from the oven. Limited Use · Aluminum foil — Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Using too much foil can damage your oven, so be careful. Please keep a minimum distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between aluminum foil and cavity. ·Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware — Use these if they are labeled “Microwave Safe”. If they are not labeled, test them to make sure they can be used safely. ·Plastic — Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe”. Other plastics can melt. ·Straw, wicker, and wood — Use only for short-term heating, such as warming dinner rolls for a few seconds; baskets and bowls may be flammable. Not Recommended ·Glass jars and bottles — Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave. It can shatter and cause damage and injury. ·Paper bags — These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that are designed for microwave use. ·Styrofoam plates and cups — These can melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food. ·Plastic storage and food containers — Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the microwave. ·Metal utensils — These can damage your oven. Remove all metal before cooking. Note: Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish which becomes very hot should not be used. 5 SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS COOKING TECHNIQUES Your microwave makes cooking easier than conventional cooking, provided you keep these considerations in mind: Stirring Turning Stir foods such as casseroles and Turn foods over midway through cooking vegetables while cooking to distribute heat to evenly.
