outlet vents.
A minimum clearance of 7.5 cm is required between the oven and any
adjacent wall. One side must be open.
. Leave a minimum clearance of 30 cm above the oven.
. Do not remove the legs from the bottom of the oven.
. Blocking the intake and/or outlet openings can damage the oven .
. Place the oven as far away from radios and TV as possible. Operation of
microwave oven may cause interference to your radio or TV reception.
2. Plug your oven into a standard 120-volt/60-Hz household outlet. Be sure
the electrical circuit is at least 15 amperes and that your microwave oven is
the only appliance on the circuit.
WARNING : Do not install oven over a range cook-top or other
heat-producing appliance. If installed near or over a heat source, the oven could
be damaged and the warranty would be void.

COOKING GUIDE
COOKING PRINCIPLES AND TECHNIQUES
Advantages of microwave cooking are speed and efficiency. For warming,
heating, and defrosting, nothing compares. There are a few tips that will
make microwave easier and more enjoyable.
Microwave Cooking Principles:
Because microwave cooking requires only one-quarter to one-third the
time of conventional cooking, the same cooking principles become even
more important
Quantity:
In microwave cooking, the cooking time is dependent on the amount of
food in the oven. If you double the recipe, plan on doubling the cooking
time.
Density:
Dense foods, such as potatoes, need more cooking time as they take longer
for microwave energy to penetrate and the heat to conduct through them.
page 8
Shape and Size:
Cut food into uniform shapes and sizes for even cooking in the microwave.
When cooking irregular shapes (such as chicken pieces), place the thicker
parts to the outer edge of the dish.
Cooking Time:
Food high in moisture sugar or fat cook faster. Add a minimum of liquid
to moisten foods. An excess amount of water slows cooking.
Starting Temperature:
Frozen or refrigerated foods take longer to microwave than food at room
temperature.
Delicate Ingredients:
Delicate foods such as eggs, cheese, mayonnaise, etc., cook very quickly,
and should be watched carefully.
Microwave Cooking Techniques
Arranging: Arrange food in a circular pattern, with denser, thicker items
at the edge of the dish.
Piercing: Pierce the membrane of foods such as eggs, oysters, snails,
sausages, livers, clams and whole vegetables, so they do not burst.
Reheating: Cooked food reheats extremely well by using a low level of
microwave energy. Place denser foods near the outer edge of the dish when
reheating.
Covering: Most foods will cook and reheat better when covered. Pierce
plastic wrap to vent steam.
Stirring: To help food cook more quickly and evenly.
Turning Over: To promote even cooking, turn larger solid items such as
roasts or baked potatoes over, halfway through the cooking time.
Standing Time: Foods continue cooking even after removal from the oven.
Standing time is necessary to allow foods to complete cooking/defrosting.
Converting Recipes: Microwave recipes will likely call for less liquid and
cooking time than conventional cooking.
Microwave Thermometers: For best results, a microwave-safe
thermometer can be carefully and properly inserted into the food .The
guide below gives suggested thermometer readings for meat and poultry.
Keep in mind that standing time is essential for most food to reach its
proper serving temperature.

CLEANING AND CARE
z Exterior
The outside surface is painted. Clean the outside with mild soap and water; rinse
and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive
page 10
cleaner.
Door becomes soiling, open the oven door before cleaning.
Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any spills or
spatters. Wipe the front side of the door with a cloth dampened slightly with
water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical
cleaners. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a damp
cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak
or dull the door surface. Close door.
Interior
Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to the interior surfaces; therefore,
there is no baking and sorting of spills or spattering. To clean the interior
surfaces, with a soft clothes and 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 OVEN.
