IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Recognize this symbol as a SAFETY message
WARNING
WHEN USING ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE
FOLLOWED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF BURNS, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE, INJURY
TO PERSONS, OR EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY:

4
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
a. DO NOT overcook food. Carefully attend appliance if paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are
placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.
c. If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power
cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
IF THE DOOR IS OPENED THE FIRE MAY SPREAD!
d. DO NOT use the cavity for storage purposes. DO NOT leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in
the cavity when not in use.
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE SERVICED ONLY BY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. CONTACT YOUR
NEAREST AUTHORIZED SERVICE FACILITY FOR EXAMINATION, REPAIR, OR ADJUSTMENT.
CAUTION
TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Always press STOP/RESET before
programming oven.
2. Do not 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. Pressure may build up
and erupt. Pierce yolk with a fork or knife
before cooking. Do not reheat previously
cooked eggs in the microwave oven unless
finely chopped or scrambled.
4. Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes, or other
foods with a "skin" before cooking in
microwave oven. This allows steam to
escape during cooking.
5. Do not home can in microwave oven. Home
canning is generally done with metal lids.
Since metal lids reflect heat, product may
not be heated uniformly to 212°F or above.
Food could deteriorate. USDA extension
specialists do not recommend home canning
in microwave ovens.
6. Remove excess fat from meats and poultry to
prevent splattering.
7. Do not heat baby bottles in microwave oven.
8. Briskly stir or pour liquids before heating to
prevent spontaneous boiling or eruption. Do
not overheat. If air is not mixed into a liquid,
liquid can erupt in oven or after removal from
oven.
9. All uncooked foods should be heated to a
final internal temperature of at least 165°F.
Some foods require higher temperatures.
These recommended temperatures kill most
food borne, disease causing organisms.
Some common visual signs that indicate the
cooking temperature has been reached:
• Food steams throughout, not just around
edges.
• Center bottom of dish is very hot to the
touch.
10. If using a microwave popcorn popper, use
according to manufacturer's instructions. Do
not continue to heat after popping has stopped.
Popcorn will scorch or burn. Do not leave oven
unattended.
CAUTION
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE IN THE OVEN CAVITY:

5
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
11. Use only popcorn in packages designed and
labeled for microwave use. Pop according
to package directions, beginning with the
minimum amount of time recommended.
Use caution when handling hot popcorn bag.
12. Microwave convenience foods are often
packaged in specially designed packaging.
Special plates, lids, containers, or other
unique packaging materials may be used.
Susceptor packing material (a thin, metalized
plastic film) is frequently used to help brown
and make crisp foods such as microwave
pizzas, French fries, or fish sticks. Be sure to
follow food package instructions carefully.
Contact convenience food manufacturer with
questions concerning these products. Amana
Refrigeration, Inc., does not endorse any brand
of microwave convenience foods, or any type of
microwave food packaging.
13. Do not operate microwave oven empty.
This could damage the oven.
14. Do not use regular cooking thermometers in
oven. Most cooking thermometers contain
mercury and may cause “arcing”, malfunction,
and/or damage to oven.
15. Metal or ceramic accessories which are
designed to absorb microwave energy to
provide heat may be used with caution. Test
device before use (See "Microwave Utensil
Check Test" on page 14). Read and follow
manufacturer's instructions provided with the
accessory. Contact accessory manufacturer
with questions concerning these accessories.
Amana Refrigeration, Inc., does not endorse
any brand of accessory.
16. Never use newspapers in oven since paper
may ignite.
17. Pierce or open plastic bags (and other airtight
containers) before heating in microwave oven.
This allows steam to escape during cooking.
18. Containers may become hot and pot holders
may be needed.
19. This oven operates at very high temperatures.
The interior surfaces and interior door surface
will become hot. Use dry, oven safe mittens to
protect hands and arms.
20. Closely supervise any use by children. Make
sure they can read instructions and reach
controls. Never allow them to lean or swing on
oven door.
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY
(a) DO NOT attempt to operate this oven with
the door open since open-door operation can
result in harmful exposure to microwave
energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper
with the safety interlocks.
(b) DO NOT place any object between the oven
front face and the door or allow soil or
cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing
surfaces.
(c) DO NOT operate the oven if it is damaged.
It is particularly important that the oven door
close properly and that there is no damage
to the: (1) door (bent), (2) hinges and
latches (broken or loosened), (3) door seals

Electrical Requirements
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - IMPROPER USE OF THE GROUNDING
PLUG CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR
DEATH.
This appliance MUST be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for the 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. DO NOT
use a two-prong adapter.
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.
Do not use an extension cord. If the product power cord is
too short, have a qualified electrician install a three-slot
receptacle. This oven should be plugged into a separate 60
hertz circuit with the electrical rating as shown in the
appropriate drawing at left. When a microwave oven is on a
circuit with other appliances, an increase in cooking times
may be required and fuses can be blown.
DO NOT UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR
REMOVE THE ROUND
GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE
PLUG OR BEND THE POWER
PRONGS TO FIT A RECEPTACLE
OTHER THAN THE ONE SHOWN
FOR YOUR OVEN. SUCH ABUSE
OF THE PLUG CAN RESULT IN
ELECTRICAL SHOCKS OR
OVERHEATING.
120V-15AMP
Power Supply Cord
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce
the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
Microwave Power
Models RMC800E and RMC800W deliver 850 watts
of microwave power to the oven cavity.
Radio Interference
Microwave oven operation may cause interference
to radio, TV, or similar equipment. To reduce or
eliminate interference:
•Clean door and sealing surfaces of oven. See
"Care and Cleaning" instructions on page 14.
•Place the radio, TV, etc. away from oven.
•Use properly installed antenna on radio, TV, etc.
to obtain stronger signal reception.
Oven Placement
Locate oven on a flat surface. Do not place oven
above a gas or electric range. Allow free air flow
around oven. Keep all air vents clear. If air vents
are covered during operation, oven may overheat.
If oven overheats, a sensitive thermal safety device
automatically turns oven off. Oven will be
inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently.
Built-In Capability
To build-in, use only Amana RMCB2TK27 or
RMCW2TK27 trim kits. Trim kits will have a label
identifying which oven models may be used.
Installation
Unpacking Oven
• Inspect microwave oven 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 if damaged.
•Remove all materials from oven interior.
•If oven has been stored in extremely cold area,
wait a few hours before plugging in.

7
Combination Cooking
Using a combination of microwaves, hot air, and
radiant heat, unit cooks alternately, according to
programmed cycles.
Convection Cooking
This is a method of cooking with hot air from the
convection heater situated at rear of oven. This
method allows food to be browned evenly without
losing any of the juices. Heated air is circulated in
oven by a fan. This enables efficient heating and
cooking of food. Temperature inside oven can be
controlled according to the type and weight of food
being cooked. May also be used when surface
crusting is desired along with browning.
