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 a failure.  
For proper ventilation, allow 4 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  
wiring and contacts.  
6. Power supply.  
This microwave oven requires a power supply of approximately 12 Amperes, 120 Volts, 60Hz  
and a grounded outlet. A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of the user becoming  
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available  
and may be used if care is exercised.  
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 it does not drape over the table top or counter where children can pull on it or trip over it.  
7. The minimum height of free space necessary above the top surface of the oven is 4 inches.

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.  
MICROWAVE UTENSILS  
Glass, Ceramic and China  
Ovenproof glass or ceramic baking dishes are the most used microwave utensils.  
Many of these items are readily available in most homes : glass measure, custard cups, mixing  
bowls, covered casseroles, pie plates and round or square cake dishes. Ovenproof dinner ware 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  
may break.  
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.  
Plastics  
Plastic 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.  
Paper  
Paper 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.  
Metal  
Metal utensils should not be used in the oven. Metal reflects microwave energy so food will not  
cook evenly.  
Metal can cause arcing and damage the oven.

used if the oven gets very dirty. The use of  
harsh detergent or abrasives is not  
recommended.  
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.

USE YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN SAFELY  
GENERAL USE  
Do 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  
sealed surfaces. 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 sealed surfaces are damaged; or 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  
Never 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 overcook foods.  
Undercooked foods can be returned to the oven for more cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing  
can be done.  
Heat small quantities of food or foods with low moisture carefully. These can quickly dry out, burn  
or catch on fire.  
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  
microwave safe 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 not yield more popcorn but, it can result in scorch burn of fire. Remember, the popcorn bag  
and tray can be too hot to handle. Remove with caution and use pot holders.

be instantly switched 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?
