When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive
microwave energy:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. Read and follow the specific "PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY" on page 1.
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See "GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS " on page 4.
4. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.
5. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers -for example, closed glass jars- are able
to explode and should not be heated in this oven.
6. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive
chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry
food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.
7. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.

c. If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the
power cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
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.
c. Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
d. After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing
the container.
e. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

1. Make sure that all the packing materials are removed from the inside of the door.
2. 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 but contact qualified service personnel.
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 20cm 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 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.
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 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 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, 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
I

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 RCA 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 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.
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.

UT TE EN NS SI IL LS S G GU UI ID DE E

6
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.
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.

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 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
