IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

7
EN
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.
9. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated
beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling due
to surface tension of the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling when
the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always
present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY
BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL
IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to person:
a.Do not overheat the liquid.
b.Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

not remove feet on which oven stands.
6. Do not operate the oven without glass tray, roller support, and
shaft in their proper 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.
8. The socket must be readily accessible so that it can be easily
unplugged in an emergency.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTION
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.
WARNINGImproper use of the grounding plug can result in
a risk of electric shock.
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, and either:
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

10
EN
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 or serviceman install an outlet near the
appliance.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 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 becoming entangled 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 be arranged so that it will not drape over the
counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over unintentionally.
Notes:
If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical
instructions, consult a qualified electrician or service person.
Neither Galanz nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to
the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the

11
EN
electrical connection procedures.
Radio or TV 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,
relocated the radio or TV as far away from the oven as feasible or check
position and signal of receiving antenna.
This section lists which utensils can be used in the microwave, which
ones have limited use for short periods, and which ones should not be
used in the microwave.
UTENSILS GUIDE
RECOMMENDED
Microwave browning dish — Use to brown the exterior of small items
such as steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with
your browning dish.
Microwaveable plastic wrap — Use to retain steam. Leave a small
opening for some steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on the
food.
Paper towels and napkins — Use for short-term heating and covering;
these absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do not use
recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and could ignite.
Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes — Use for heating or
cooking.
Paper plates and cups — Use for short-term heating at low
temperatures. Do not use recycled paper, which may contain metal and
could ignite.
Wax paper — Use as a cover to prevent spattering.

12
EN
Thermometers — Use only those labeled “Microwave Safe” and follow
all directions. Check the food in several places. Conventional
thermometers may be used on microwave food once the food has been
removed from the oven.
LIMITED USE
Aluminum foil — Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of
exposed areas. Using too much foil can damage your oven, so be
careful. You should keep distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between
aluminum foil and cavity.
Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware — Use these if they are labeled
“Microwave Safe”. If they are not labeled, test them to make sure they
can be used safely.
Plastic — Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe”. Other plastics can
melt.
Not Recommended
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 — These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that
are designed for microwave use.
Styrofoam plates and cups — These can melt and leave an unhealthy
residue on food.
Plastic storage and food containers — Containers such as margarine
tubs can melt in the microwave.
Metal utensils — These can damage your oven. Remove all metal
before cooking.
Note: Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place
the empty dish in the oven and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. A
dish which becomes very hot should not be used.

COOKING TECHNIQUES
Your microwave makes cooking easier than conventional cooking,
provided you keep these considerations in mind:
STIRRING
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to
distribute heat evenly. Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more
energy and heats more quickly, so stir from the outside to the center.
The oven will turn off when you open the door to stir your food.
ARRANGEMENT
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with
the thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable where
they receive more microwave energy. To prevent overcooking, place
delicate areas, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the
turntable.
SHIELDING
Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking.
Areas that need shielding include poultry wing tips, the ends of poultry
legs, and corners of square baking dishes. Use only small amounts of
aluminum foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven.
TURNING
Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to
microwave energy. This is especially important with large foods such
as roasts.
STANDING
Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue
to cook for a few minutes after heating stops. Let foods stand to

14
EN
complete cooking, especially foods such as cakes and whole
vegetables. Roasts need this time to complete cooking in the center
without overcooking the outer areas. All liquids, such as soup or hot
chocolate, should be shaken or stirred when cooking is complete. Let
liquids stand a moment before serving. When heating baby food, stir
well at removal and test the temperature before serving.
ADDING MOISTURE
Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven
in moisture content should be covered or allowed to stand so that the
heat disperses evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food to help
it cook
