3FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCESTATEMENT(U.S.A. ONLY)GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONSWARNING:This equipment generates and uses ISM frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception.It has been type-tested and found to comply with limits for an ISM Equipment pursuant to part 18 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation.However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the followings.• Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.• Relocate the Microwave oven with respect to the receiver.• Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.• Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that microwave oven and receiver are on different branch circuits. THE MANUFACTURER is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATION to this microwave oven. It is the responsibility of the user to correct such interference.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, and either :(1) 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 shallbe equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance. or(2) Do not use an extension cord, if the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
4INSTALLATION1. 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 afailure. For proper ventilation, allow 3 inches of space between oven top, sides, rear and adjacent surfaces.4. 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. Away from heating appliances and water taps.Keep the oven away from heat, steam or splashing liquids. These things can adversely affect oven wiringand contacts.6. Power supply.This microwave oven requires a power supply of approximately 15 Amperes, 120 Volts, 60Hz and a grounded outlet. A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of the user becomingentangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords are availableand may be used if care is exercised in their use.If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the oven.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 table top or counter where it can be pulled on by children or tripped overunintentionally.7. The minimum height of free space necessary above the top surface of the oven is 100mm.When use 3-pronged plug 3-prong ReceptacleReceptacleBox cover3-prong plugWhen use grounding adaptor, makesure the receptacle box is fullygrounded.Receptacle Box CoverReceptacle GroundingLeadGroundingAdaptor“THE CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE DOES NOT ALLOW THE USE OF THE GROUNDING ADAPTOR”

16UTENSIL TESTMICROWAVE UTENSILSGlass, Ceramic and ChinaOvenproof glass or ceramic baking dishes are the most used microwave utensils.Many of these items are readily available in most homes: glass measures, custard cups, mixing bowls, covered casseroles, pie plates and round or square cake dishes. Ovenproof dinnerware is usually safe to use in the microwave.Do not heat or cook in glass jars or bottles.Do not use dishes with silver, gold, platinum or other metal trim. Arcing may occur and/or the dish maybreak.Do not use delicate or stemmed glassware. Although the glass may be transparent to microwave energy, heat from the food may cause the glassware to crack.PlasticsPlastic dishes, cups, mugs and bowls may be used in the oven for short periods of time. None of these should be used in the oven for prolonged periods because distortion and melting may occur. Check manufacturer’s recommendations concerning microwave safety.Plastic wrap can be used to cover dishes in most recipes if the dish is deep enough to avoid plastic wrap touching the food. Always vent the wrap by folding back one corner to allow excess steam to escape.Plastic cooking bags should be slit before cooking so excess steam can escape.Do not use wire twist ties to close the bag. Wire twist ties can cause arcing which can damage the oven.PaperPaper cups, wax paper, napkins, paper towels, and plates may be used for short cooking. Prolonged time in the oven can cause paper to burn. Do not use recycled paper products, such as brown paper bags. They contain impurities which may cause arcing and damage the oven.MetalMetal utensils should not be used in the oven. Metal reflects microwave energy so foods will not cook evenly. Metal can cause arcing and damage the oven.Dishes that do not absorb microwave energy are best for microwave cooking. Lock on the label to verify that particular cups, glasses, plates are indeed suitable, especially paper goods. If you are not sure, try this utensil test to check.• Put the empty utensil in the microwave oven.• Put one cup of water in a glass measure next to the empty utensil.• Heat on HI for 1 minute.• After 1 minute the water should be warm but the utensil should not. If the utensil is warm, it is not suitable for microwave cooking.

22USE YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN SAFELYGENERAL USEDo 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 sealingsurfaces. Wipe with a mild detergent, rinse and dry. Never use abrasive powders or pads.Do not subject the oven door 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 areloose 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.FOODNever 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 over cook foods.Undercooked foods can be returned to the oven for more cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can bedone.Heat small quantities of food or foods with low moisture carefully. These can quickly dry out, burn or catch onfire.Do not heat eggs in the shell. Pressure may build up and eggs can explode.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 stir liquids before heating. Heated liquids can erupt, if not mixed with air.Do not leave the oven unattended while popping corn.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 put packaged Microwave Popcorn bags directly on the oven tray. Place the package on a microwavesafe glass or ceramic plate to avoid overheating and cracking the oven tray.Do not exceed the Microwave Popcorn manufacturers' suggested popping time. Longer popping does notyield more popcorn but it can result in scorch burn of fire. Remember, the popcorn bag and tray can be toohot to handle.

23BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICERefer to the following checklist, you may prevent an unnecessary service call.* The oven doesn’t work :1. Check that the power cord is securely plugged in.2. Check that the door is firmly closed.3. Check that the cooking time is set.4. Check for a blown circuit fuse or tripped main circuit breaker in your house.* Sparking in the cavity;1. Check utensils. Metal containers or dishes with metal trim should not be used.2. Check that metal skewers or foil does not touch the interior walls.If there is still a problem, contact the service station.A list of these stations is included in the oven.QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS* Q : I accidentally ran my microwave oven without any food in it. Is it damaged?* A : Running the oven empty for a short time will not damage the oven. However, it is not recommended.* Q : Can the oven be used with the glass tray or roller guide removed?* 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 instantlyswitched off and the time setting will maintain until the door is closed and START is touched.* 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 foodhitting the cool oven surface.* Q : Dose 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 topass 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. Toprevent this, simply pierce the yolk with a toothpick before cooking. Never cook eggs without piercingtheir shells.DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE THE OVEN YOURSELF !
24QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (continued)* Q : Why this standing time recommended after the cooking operation has been completed?* A : Standing time is very important.With microwave cooking, the heat is in the food, not in the oven. Many foods build up enough internalheat to allow the cooking process to continue, even after the food is removed from the oven. Standingtime for joints of meat, large vegetables and cakes is to allow the inside to cook completely, withoutovercooking the outside.* Q : What does “standing time” mean?* A : “Standing time” means that food should be removed from the oven and covered for additional time toallow it to finish cooking. This frees the oven for other cooking.* 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 whatmight cause variations in cooking time. Cooking guide times and heat settings are suggestions, to helpprevent over-cooking... the most common problem in getting used to a microwave oven.Variations in the size, shape and weights and dimensions could require longer cooking time. Use yourown judgement along with the cooking guide suggestions to check whether the food has been properlycooked 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 it 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 turn over the turntable, you will get poor cooking results. Dishes used in your ovenmust 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 whenthe 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 manufactures guidelines or use the presetPOPCORN pad. Do not use regular paper bags. Use the “listening test” by stopping the oven as soonas the popping slows to a “pop” every 1 or 2 seconds. Do not repop unpopped kernels. Do not poppopcorn in glass cookware.
