GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk
of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if you are unsure whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
1. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension
cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will
accept the plug on the appliance.The marked rating of the extension
cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the
appliance, OR
2. Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short,
have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the
appliance.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS: 120 VOLT 60 HERTZ, AC ONLY,
20 AMP.
It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the oven be
provided.The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug.
It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed
and grounded.
Power Supply Cord
1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting
from entanglement in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used
if care is exercised in their use.
3. If long cord or extension cord is used:
a.The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord
should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance.
b.The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
the longer cord should not drape over the counter or tabletop
where it can be pulled by children or tripped over unintentionally.
NOTE:
If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical
instructions, consult a qualified electrician.
Neither Ginny’s nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage
to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the
electrical connection procedures.
Radio orTV Interference
Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven to your
radio or TV, check that the microwave oven is on a different circuit,
relocate the radio or TV as far from the oven as possible, or check
position and signal of receiving antenna.

RECOMMENDED UTENSILS AND COOKING AIDS
Wax paper: Use as a cover to prevent splattering.
Microwavable plastic wrap: Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening
for some steam to escape, and avoid placing wrap directly on the food.
Paper towels and napkins: Use for short-term heating and covering;
they absorb excess moisture and prevent splattering. Do not use recycled
paper towels—they may contain metal and could ignite.
Paper plates and cups: Use for short-term heating at low temperatures.
Do not use recycled paper which may contain metal and could ignite.
Microwavable glass and dishware: Use microwave-safe glass and dish-
ware for heating and cooking. Do not use if chipped or cracked—glass
and dishware could explode.
NOTE: Do not place refrigerated glass or dishware directly in the
microwave—refrigerated glass or dishware could crack.Instead, put food
into a room-temperature dish and heat safely.
Plastic: Use only microwave-safe plastic. Other plastics may melt.
Microwave browning dish: Use to brown the exterior of smaller items
such as steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with
your browning dish.
Thermometers: Use only those labeled “microwave safe” and follow all
directions.Check the food in several places.Conventional thermometers
may be used on microwaved food once the food has been removed from
the microwave.
NOT RECOMMENDED UTENSILS AND COOKING AIDS
Glass jars and bottles: Regular glass is too thin to be used in a
microwave. It can shatter and cause damage and injury.
Paper bags: Do not use paper bags in the microwave—they are a fire
hazard (with the exception of popcorn bags that are designed for one-
time use in the microwave).
Styrofoam plates and cups: Styrofoam can melt and leave an unhealthy
residue on food.
Plastic storage and food containers: Use only microwave-safe
containers.Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the microwave.
Metal utensils: Metal utensils can damage your microwave.
Remove all metal before cooking.

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—they can stain, streak or dull the door surface.
3. 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. To remove any spills or spatters, use a damp cloth. Regularly wipe both
sides of the door and window, the door seals, and all adjacent parts.
Do not use abrasive cleaner.
5. Do not allow the control panel to become wet.When cleaning the
control panel, use a soft, damp cloth, and leave oven door open to
prevent oven from accidentally turning on.
6. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door,
wipe with a soft cloth.This is normal, and may occur when the
microwave oven is operated under high-humidity conditions.

detergent.The roller ring may be washed in mild sudsy water or in a
dishwasher.When removing the roller ring for cleaning, be sure to
replace it to its proper position.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
(BEFOREYOU CALL FOR SERVICE)
Before asking for service, please check for the following:
1. Check to ensure the microwave 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 the door is securely closed, engaging the door safety
lock system. If the door is not properly closed, the microwave energy
will not circulate properly.
If none of the above rectify the situation, contact
Customer Service
1.800.544.1590
Do not try to adjust or repair the oven yourself.

Ginnys.com • 1.800.544.1590 16
Arrange your food.
For even microwave heating, place the thickest parts toward the outside of
your dish.
Rearrange your food.
Rearrange food like meatballs, for example, halfway through cooking time
by turning each over, and moving those in the center of the dish to the
outside.
Take Cover.
Covering your food prevents spattering and helps it to cook more quickly
and evenly:
• Wax paper is a great option for routine heating.
• When heating something (like cheese) that might stick to other coverings,
a microwave-safe lid to your microwave-safe container is perfect.
• If you use microwavable plastic wrap, make sure to leave a place for
steam to escape and avoid having the wrap touch your food.
NOTE: A few foods shouldn’t be covered in the microwave—like cakes,
cookies, fried foods, or anything with breading.They can get soggy.
If you’re working from a recipe that isn’t written for a microwave,
reduce the salt by 1⁄3, spices by half and water or cooking liquid by 1⁄4.
