Caution
TOAVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTYDAMAGE, OBSERVETHE FOLLOWING:
SAVETHESEINSTRUCTIONS
1. Briskly stir or pour liquids before heating with
microwaveenergytopreventspontaneousboiling
or eruption. Do not overheat. If air is not mixed
into a liquid, liquid can erupt in oven or after removal
fromoven.
2. Donot deep fat fry in oven. Fat could overheat and
be hazardous to handle.
3. Do not cook or reheat eggs in shell or with an
unbroken yolk using microwave energy. Pressure
may build up and erupt. Pierce yolk with fork or
knife before cooking.
4. Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes, and similar
foodsbeforecooking with microwave energy. When
skin is pierced, steam escapes evenly.
5. Do not operate equipment without load or food in
ovencavity.
6. Use only popcorn in packages designed and
labeledformicrowave use. Popping time varies
dependingon oven wattage. Do notcontinue to heat
after popping has stopped. Popcorn will scorch or
burn. Do not leave oven unattended.

Installation
Earthing Instructions
Warning
Thisequipmentmust be earthed.
RC517*/RC519*requiresadedicated230 volt, 16 amp
50 hertz circuit. Oven main lead wires are colored as
follows:
•Earth—GreenandYellow
•Neutral—Blue
•Live—Brown
If oven main lead wire colors do not correspond with
terminal plug markings or colors, match plug terminals
accordingtofollowingmarkings:
•E—Earth
•N—Neutral

Unpacking Equipment
•Inspect equipment for damage such as dents in
door or dents inside oven cavity.
•Report any dents or breakage to source of
purchase immediately. Do not attempt to use oven
ifdamaged.
•Removeall materialsfromoven interior.
•If oven has been stored in extremely cold area, wait
a few hours before connecting power.
Equipment Placement
•Do not install equipment next to or above source of
heat, such as pizza oven or deep fat fryer. This
couldcausemicrowaveoventooperateimproperly
and could shorten life of electrical parts.
•Allowairflowaroundoven.Airflowsaround electric
components. At least 1½ inch of clearance is
required at top and sides of equipment to provide
properventilation. With restricted air flow oven may
not operate properly and life of electrical parts is
reduced.
•Allow 6.5 centimeters / 29/16 inches between air
discharge on back of equipment and back wall.
•Do not block or obstruct oven filter. Allow access
forcleaning.
Radio Interference

interferencebydoing the following:
•Cleandoorandsealingsurfaces of oven according
to instructions in Care and Cleaning section.
•Place radio, television, etc. as far as possible

filter in hot water and mild detergent. Do not use oven
without filter in place. Filter is located just below oven
door.
•Removebypulling filter pins.
•Position filter over air intake and push in pins
to reinstall.

Before Calling for Service
If oven does not operate:
•Confirm oven is plugged into dedicated circuit.
•Confirmoven is on earthed and polarizedcircuit.
(Contact electrician to confirm)
•Check fuse or circuit breaker.
If oven light does not work:
•Confirm light bulb is screwed in tightly.
•Confirmlightbulb is notdefective.
Ifovenoperatesintermittently:
•Check filter inlet and discharge areas
for obstructions.
If oven does not accept entries when pad is pressed:
•Open and close oven door. Press pad again.
Ifovenmalfunctions:
•Unplugoven,waitfor 1 minute, and plug in oven.
If oven operates, but will not heat food:
•Place one cup cool water in oven. Heat for one
minute.If water temperature does notrise, oven is
operating incorrectly.
Warning
To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe
personal injury or death, do not remove outer case at
anytime. Only authorized servicer should remove
outer case.
Service Codes
During operation, display may show service codes:
S1
CS
PCE1
PCE5
PCE6
FL
FH
PL
-HOT
HI
LO
Contact an authorized servicer if display shows any code
except“HOT”,“HI”,and“LO”.Servicemustbeperformed
beforeusingoven.
•Ifdisplay shows “HOT”, oven's magnetron tubeis
overheated.Oven automaticallyinterruptscooking
sequence and turns on cooling fan until magnetron
tubereachesnormaltemperature. When
magnetrontube cools to normal temperature, oven
resumesnormaloperation.
•If display shows “HI” or “LO”, input voltage is
too high or too low . Because cooking results vary
fromthe normal cooking pattern, ovenis not usable
during this condition. Normal operation returns
oncevoltage returns to normal range.
Whencontactingsupplier, provide productinformation
includingmodel, serial, and manufacturing numbers, and
dateofpurchase.Model,serial,andmanufacturing
numbers are located on product serial plate. Warranty
servicemustbe performed by authorized servicer.
Amana also recommends contacting authorized servicer
if service is required after
warranty expires.

Udpakning af ovnen
•Efterse udstyret for skader så som buler i døren

tilslutter strømmen.
Placering af ovnen
•Installérikkeovnen ved siden af elleroveren
varmekilde, som f.eks. en pizzaovn eller en
friturekoger. Dette kan forårsage at ovnen ikke
fungerer korrekt og kan afkorte de elektriske deles
levetid.
•Sørgforat luft kan strømme rundt om ovnen. Luft
strømmer rundt om elektriske komponenter. Det er
nødvendigtatefterladeetfrirum på mindst 1½
tomme(3.81 cm) ovenoverogved siderne af
udstyret, for at sikre korrekt ventilation. En
begrænset luftstrøm kan forårsage at ovnen ikke
fungerer korrekt og kan afkorte de elektriske deles
levetid.
•Sørg for at der er mindst 2
9/16 tommer/6,5
centimeter mellemluftafløbetbag på ovnenog
bagvæggen.
•Blokér eller spær ikke ovnfilteret. Sikr dig at der er
