RV & HOME INSTALLATION
1. Make sure that all the packing materials are
removed from the inside the door.
2. WARNING: Check the oven for any damage,
such as misaligned or bent door, damaged
door seals and sealing surface, broken or
loose door hinges and latches and dents
inside the cavity or on the door. If there is
any damage, do not operate the oven and
return to the place of purchase or OEM
supplier.
3. This microwave oven must be placed on a
flat, stable surface to hold its weight and the
heaviest food likely to be cooked in the oven.
4. Do not place the oven where heat, moisture,
or high humidity are generated, or near
combustible materials.
5. For correct operation, the oven must have
sufficient airflow. Allow 10cm of space above
the oven, 10cm at back and 5cm at both
sides. Do not cover or block any openings
on the appliance. Do not remove feet.
6. Do not operate the oven without glass
turntable and turntable support in their
correct positions.
7. Make sure that the power supply cord is
undamaged and does not run under the
oven or over any hot or sharp surface.

interference to your radio, TV, or similar
equipment.
When there is interference, it may be reduced or
eliminated by taking the following measures:
1. Clean door and sealing surface of the
oven.
2. Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or
television.
3. Plug the microwave oven into a different
outlet so that microwave oven and receiver

MICROWAVE COOKING PRINCIPLES
1. Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas
towards the outside of the cooking dish.
2. Watch the 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 with a grounding wire and 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 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 PLEASE CONTACT CAMEC.
DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE OVEN YOURSELF.

UTENSILS GUIDE
1. The ideal material for a microwave utensil is
transparent to microwave, as it allows energy
to pass through the container and heat the
food.
2. Microwaves cannot penetrate metal, so metal
utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not
be used.
3. Do not use recycled paper products when
microwave cooking, as they may contain
small metal fragments which may cause
sparks and/or fires.
4. Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong
ones are recommended, as food in corners
tends to overcook.
5. Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used
to prevent overcooking of exposed areas.
But be careful not to use too much and keep
a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between the
foil and the cavity.
The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils.

plug from the wall socket before cleaning.
2. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When
food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to
oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild
detergent may be used if the oven gets
very dirty. Avoid the use of spray and other
harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak
or dull the door surface.
3. The outside surfaces should be cleaned
with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to
the operating parts inside the oven, water
should not be allowed to seep into the
ventilation openings.
4. Wipe the both sides of the door and
window, the door seals and adjacent parts
frequently with a damp cloth to remove
any spills or spatters. Do not use an
abrasive cleaner.

cloth. This may occur when the microwave
oven is operated under high humidity
conditions but is normal.
7. It is occasionally necessary to remove the
glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in
warm sudsy water or in a dishwasher.
8. The roller ring and oven floor should be
cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise.
Simply wipe the bottom surface of the

may be washed in mild sudsy water or
dishwasher. When removing the roller ring
from the cavity floor for cleaning, be sure
to reinstall it in the proper position.

combining a cup of water with the juice
and skin of one lemon in a deep
microwaveable bowl, then microwave for 5
minutes. Wipe thoroughly and dry with a
soft cloth.
10. If it becomes necessary to replace the
oven light, please consult a Camec dealer
to have it replaced.
