Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. This oven is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with 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 the 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 Calling For Service
Before asking for service, please check each item below:
⚫Check to ensure the oven is plugged in securely. If not, remove the plug from the
outlet, wait 10 seconds, and plug it in again securely.
⚫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.
⚫Check to ensure the control panel is programmed correctly and the timer is set.
⚫Check to ensure the door is securely closed, engaging the door lock system. If the
door is not properly closed, the microwave energy will not flow inside.
IF NONE OF THE ABOVE RECTIFIES THE SITUATION, THEN CONTACT A
QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN. DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE OVEN
YOURSELF.
Cooking Techniques
1. Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
2. Watch 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.

Cooking Utensils Guide
1. Microwave cannot penetrate metal. Only use utensils that are suitable for use in
microwave ovens. Metallic containers for food and beverages are not allowed during
microwave cooking. This requirement is not applicable if the manufacturer specifies
size and shape of metallic containers suitable for microwave cooking.
2. Microwave 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 recommend, 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 don’t use too much and keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm)
between foil and cavity.
