MICROWAVE COOKING PRINCIPLES

1. Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas

towards outside of dish.

2. Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest

amount of time indicated and add more as
needed. Food severely overcooked can
smoke or ignite.

3. Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent

spattering and help foods to cook evenly.

4. Turn foods over once during microwave

cooking to speed cooking of such foods as
chicken and hamburgers. Large items like
roasts must be turned over at least once.

5. Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway

through cooking both from top to bottom and
from the center of the dish to the outside.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. This oven is
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with
a grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall
receptacle that is properly installed and grounded.
In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electric current. It
is recommended that a separate circuit serving
only the oven be provided. Using a high voltage is
dangerous and may result in a fire or other
accident causing oven damage.
WARNING

Improper use of the grounding plug

can result in a risk of electric shock.
Note:

1. If you have any questions about the

grounding or electrical instructions, consult a
qualified electrician or service person.

2. Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can

accept any liability for damage to the oven or
personal injury resulting from failure to
observe the electrical connection
procedures.

The wires in this cable main are colored in
accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow = EARTH
Blue = NEUTRAL
Brown = LIVE

BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE

If the oven fails to operate:
1. Check to ensure that the oven is plugged in

securely. If it is not, remove the plug from the
outlet, wait 10 seconds, and plug it in again
securely.

2. Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped

main circuit breaker. If these seem to be
operating properly, test the outlet with

another appliance.

3. Check to ensure that the control panel is

programmed correctly and the timer is set.

4. Check to ensure that the door is securely

closed engaging the door safety lock system.
Otherwise, the microwave energy will not
flow into the oven.

IF NONE OF THE ABOVE RECTIFIES THE SITUATION, THEN CONTACT A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN.
DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE OVEN YOURSELF.
