ABOUT YOUR OVEN
This Operation Manual is valuable: read it carefully
and always save it for reference.
A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset.
Check it for microwave cooking principles, techniques,
hints and recipes.
NEVER
use the oven without the turntable and
support nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish
could be placed in the oven. The turntable will turn
both clockwise and counterclockwise. See page 12
for complete instructions.
ALWAYS
have food in the oven when it is on to absorb
the microwave energy.
When using the oven at power levels below 100%, you
may hear the magnetron cycling on and off.
The fan will automatically start when heat rises from
range surface units or burners and when convection,
high mix, low mix or the broil settings are used.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking.
Room humidity and the moisture in food will influence
the amount of moisture that condenses in the oven.
Generally, covered foods will not cause as much
condensation as uncovered ones. Ventilation openings
must not be blocked.
The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be
used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your oven is rated 850 watts by using the IEC Test
Procedure. In using recipes or package directions,
check food a minute or two before the minimum time
and add time accordingly.
