Grounding Instructions
WARNING
To avoid the risk of electrical shock or death, this oven
mustbe grounded.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock or death, do not
alter the plug.
ThisovenMUST be grounded. In the eventof an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric
current.This ovenis equipped with a cord having a
groundingwire with a grounding plug. The plugmust be
pluggedinto a properly installed and grounded outlet.
Consulta qualified electrician or servicer if grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the oven is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the oven power cord is
too short, have a qualified electrician install a three-slot
receptacle. Thisoven should be plugged into a separate
60 hertz circuit with the electrical rating as shown in the
appropriatedrawing. Models rated at 240 supply
voltage. When Amana Wave Oven™ is on a circuit with
anotherappliance or supply voltage varies, an increasein
cooking times may be required and fuses can be blown.

Oven Features
Halogen Lamp Banks
TheAmana Wave Oven™ has 2 banks ofhalogen bulbs.
Upper lamp bank is located on oven ceiling and has 8
bulbs. Lower lamp bank is located oven floor and has 4
bulbs.Upper lamp bank heats center and edge of food
while lower lamp bank heats utensil. Each lamp bank
canbe adjustedindependently.
Upper and lower lamp banks do not heat simultaneously.
When upper lamp bank is operating, lower lamp bank is
off.However, to providelight for theoven cavity,outer
bulbs in upper lamp bank turn on while lower bank heats.
Ovendisplay shows “OFF” when upper lamp bank
provideslightfor oven cavity.
Lampbanks have 4 settings, “OFF”, “LO”, “MED”,and
“HI”. Adjust lamp bank intensity on top and bottom
independently to perfect recipes. Press OFF , LO , MED ,
or HI pad toadjust beforeor duringcooking.
CAUTION
Toavoid burns, cuts,and damaging halogen bulb,
wear cotton gloves or grasp bulb with clean cotton
clothwhen handlinghalogen bulbs.Oil fromhands will
reducehalogen bulb life.

Amana Wave Oven™Cooking
Cooking Guidelines
TheAmana Wave Oven™ uses high intensity radiant
energy to cook, brown, grill, sear, and heat foods.
AmanaWave Oven™minimizes cookingtimes while
maximizingfood quality.
TheAmanaWave Oven™ does notrequirepreheating.
AmanaWave Oven™uses 2 independent lamp banks to
heatfood. The upper lamp banks heat food directly while
the lower bank heats cooking utensil or grill. Because
the grill or utensils absorb radiant energy, light does not
need to shine on the bottom of the food.
Upper and lower lamp banks do not heat simultaneously.
When upper lamp bank is operating, lower lamp bank is
off.However,to provide lightfor the ovencavity,upper
lamp bank turns on while lower bank heats. Oven display
shows“OFF” when upper lamp bankprovides light for
ovencavity.
When developing recipes, watch the food while it cooks.
Howfood looks and smells while cooking provides the
best indication of how the food is cooking.
Use “Manual Time Entry Cooking” section to create a
newrecipe and“Saving Recipe”section toquickly save
therecipe. Iffood bubblesor brownsexcessively, adjust
lamp bank intensities to lower radiant energy intensity.
Bywatching the food, recipes can be developed,
perfected,and saved quickly.
Recipeswere developed when ovencavity was atroom
temperature.If oven cavity is warm, decrease cooking
times slightly.
Use these guidelines to achieving best results.
• Use only rack or grill while cooking. When utensils are
placedover each other,food is shielded from radiant
energyand cooks unevenly.
• Distributesmall pieces offood evenly. Overlapping
food, like beef or chicken fajita strips, fish fillets, french
fries,and appetizers,shields foodfrom radiantenergy
and foodcooks unevenly.
• Use dark, aluminum pan when cooking foods that
require uniform bottom cooking. Foods like pizza,
fajitas,grilled sandwiches,and appetizers,require a
darkaluminum pan.
• Watch irregularly shaped foods closely. Edges or high
points of food, like bone-in chicken breast or rack of
ribs, can burn quickly if not watched closely.
• Userecommended utensils whenfollowing “Cooking
Guide” or “Recipes” section. Size, shape, and material
impact cooking times and results.
• Use recommended cooking times. Most recipes give
ranges of cooking times. Set your oven to the lowest
cooking time, check the food, and add time if
necessary.
• Measureingredients carefully.
• Allow food to stand after cooking. Food continues to
cookafter it is removed from oven.
Frozen or Thick Food Guidelines
Heatfrozen foods using lower lamp intensity and longer
heatingtimes. Frozen foods require a long heating period
at low lamp intensity to defrost before cooking.
Repeatedlyincrease andthen decreaselamp intensity
levelswhile cookingfood over4 inchesthick. This
cooking method grills exterior while allowing food to cook
to center.
Converting Conventional Recipes
See“Cooking Guide” or “Recipes” section and findfood
similar to conventional recipe. Use cooking time and
utensilrecommended for Amana WaveOven™ recipe.
Watch the food while it cooks. How food looks and
smells while cooking provides the best indication of how
the food is cooking. Adjust time and lamp intensity as
needed.
Eliminating or Reducing Oven Smoke
CleanAmana Wave Oven™and grill frequentlyto reduce
or eliminate oven smoke. When cooking with Amana
WaveOven™, food can create smoke comparable to
opendoor ovenbroiling ora downdraftgrill. Foods that
are high in sugar and fat content will create more smoke
thanmost foods. However, to eliminate or reduceoven
smoke follow the points below:
• Cleanoven and grillfrequently.Cleangrill after every
cooking cycle. Though the grill does not appear to be
soiled, small amounts of grease and food residue can
create smoke.
• Do not allow drippings to fall on glass shield. Because
glass shield becomes very hot, food that falls onto
glass shield will create smoke.
• Donot over season or over baste. Because utensils
becomevery hot,seasonings or marinades on exposed
utensil will create smoke.
• Use properly sized utensils. Areas on grill or utensils
that are not covered by food will smoke if grease or food
residue falls on them. To minimize the exposed area,
use utensils that are approximately the size of the food
item.

13
Grill
Use grill accessory for cooking meat, poultry, fish,
vegetables, or fruits. To use, place food on grill and slide
in rack guides. Grill design directs grease and juices
away from food. Grill tines create grill marks on
underside of food while cooking. Wells on sides of grill
collect grease and juices. After grill cools remove grill
fromoven and pour off greaseand juices aftereach
cooking cycle or before wells fill.
WARNING
To avoidsevere burns, wear fireproof ovenmitts or use
pan grips when handling grill, utensils, racks, glass
shields,and door. Allow ovento coolbefore reaching
intooven. Oven interiorbecomes hot duringoperation.
CAUTION
Toavoid damaging grill surface, do not use grillwithout
food.

14
Utensils
Use correct cookware to achieve best cooking results. If
unsureof cookwaresee “Cooking Guide” section and
choose similar food type.
• Use dark metal pans for searing foods, flat grilling
sandwiches, cooking pizza, stir frying, and to sauté.
• Use shiny metal pans to create golden brown surfaces
onbaked goods.
• Use metal skewers for kabobs.
• Use glass utensils to steam or bake food. Glass does
not convey heat to food as well as metal.
• Use properly sized utensils. Areas on grill or utensils
that are not covered by food will smoke if grease or
food residue falls on them. To minimize the exposed
area, use utensils that are approximately the size of
the food item.
CAUTION
To avoid fire in oven, do not use paper, plastic, or other
combustible materials in oven. Material can ignite.

Eliminating or Reducing Oven Smoke
CleanAmana Wave Oven™and grill frequentlyto reduce
or eliminate oven smoke. When cooking with Amana
WaveOven™, food can create smoke comparable to
conventionaloven broiling or downdraftgrilling. Foods that
are high in sugar or fat content can create smoke. To
eliminateor reduce oven smoke follow points below:
• Cleanoven and grillfrequently.Cleangrill after every
cooking cycle. Though the grill does not appear to be
soiled, small amounts of grease and food residue can
create smoke.
• Avoidfood or food residue on glass shields. Because
glass shields become very hot, food that falls onto
glass shield will create smoke. Check shield for food
residuebefore cooking or after ovencools.
• Donot over season or over baste. Because utensils
becomevery hot,seasonings or marinades on exposed
utensil will create smoke.
• Use properly sized utensils. Areas on grill or utensils
not covered by food will smoke if grease or food residue
falls on them. To minimize the exposed area, use
utensils close to the size of the food item.
