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. 

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.
