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.

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. The appliance is equipped with a
cord having a grounding wire with a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded.
WARNING :Improper use of the grounding
plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
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 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:
1. If you have any questions about the
grounding or electrical instructions, consult
a qualified electrician or service person.
2. Neither RCA 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.
UTENSILS GUIDE
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.
·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.

6
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.
·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.
·Straw, wicker, and wood —Use only for
short-term heating, such as warming
dinner rolls for a few seconds. Baskets
and bowls may be flammable.
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 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.

7
BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE
If the oven fails to operate:
A) 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.
B) 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.
C) Check to ensure that the control panel is
programmed correctly and the timer is
set.
D) 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.
IF NONE OF THE ABOVE RECTIFIES THE SITUATION, THEN CONTACT A QUALIFIED
TECHNICIAN. DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE OVEN YOURSELF.
