• Make sure that all the packing materials are
removed from the inside of the door. 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.
• Remove the protective plastic foil from the
stainless steel parts.
• Do not place the oven where heat, moisture or
high humidity are generated, or near combustible
materials.
• For correct operation, the oven must have
sufficient airflow. Do not cover or block any
openings on the appliance. Do not remove feet.
• Do not operate the oven without glass tray, roller
support, and shaft in their proper positions.
• Make sure that the power supply cord is
undamaged and does not run under the oven or

InstallationPrecautions to Avoid
Possible Exposure to
Excessive Microwave Energy
If the oven fails to operate:
• 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.
• 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 that the control panel is
programmed correctly and the timer is set.
• 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.
Before You Call for Service

• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas
towards the outside of the dish.
• Watch the cooking time. Cook for the shortest
amount of time indicated and increase as needed.
Food which is severely overcooked can smoke or
ignite.
• Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent
splattering and help foods to cook evenly.
• Turn foodsover once during microwavingtospeed
cookingofsuchfoodsas chicken and hamburgers.
Large items like roasts must be turned over at
least once.
• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway
through cooking both from top to bottom and
from the center of the dish to the outside.
Utensils Guide
• The ideal material for a microwave utensil should
be transparent to microwaves, allowing energy
to pass through the container and heat the food
• Only use a temperature probe recommended for
microwave ovens.
• Microwaves cannot penetrate metal, so metal
utensils, or dishes with a metallic trim should not
be used.
• Do not use recycled paper products when
microwave cooking, as they may contain small
metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or
fires.
• Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong
ones are recommend, as food in corners tends to
overcook.
The list below is a general guide to help you select
the correct utensils.
