FOOD

may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is normal
for the exterior of the oven to be warm to the touch
when cooking or reheating.

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 con-
densation as uncovered ones. Vents on the oven back
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 1100 watts (R-308F) or 1000 watts
(R-316F, R-314F, R-304F, R-301F) 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.
