Before Using Your Microwave Oven
Installing Your Microwave Oven
• Make sure that all packaging materials are removed
from the oven.
•
Warning: Check the microwave oven for any damage,
such as misaligned or bent door, damaged door seals
and sealing surface, broken or loose door hinges, loose
latches and dents inside the cavity or on the door.
Contact customer service at 1 (800) 798-7398.
• The microwave must be placed on a flat, stable surface
to hold its weight and the heaviest food likely to be
cooked in the oven.
• Do not place the oven where heat, moisture or high
humidity are generated or near combustible
materials.
• Allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space at the top,
sides and back of the oven for proper ventilation. Do
not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
Do not remove the feet of the microwave.
• For safety purposes this microwave oven must be
plugged into a 20 Amp circuit. No other electrical
appliance or lighting circuits should be on this
line. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician.
• The voltage used at the wall receptacle must be the
same as specified on the oven rating plate. Use of a
higher voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire or
other type of accident causing oven damage. Low
voltage will cause slow cooking. In case your
microwave oven does not perform normally in spite
of cor
rect voltage, remove and reinsert the plug. If
problem continues, try another outlet or call customer
service at 1 (800) 798-7398.
• Do not operate the microwave oven without the glass
turntable or turntable drive plate in their proper
positions. Never place the glass turntable upside
down in the microwave.
• Make sure that the power supply cord is undamaged
and does not run underneath the microwave oven or
over any hot or sharp surface.
• Microwave oven operation may interfere with TV or
radio reception. If there is interference, it may be
reduced or eliminated by:
a. Clean door and sealing surface of the oven.
b. Reorient the receiving antenna of the radio or the
TV.
c. Plug the microwave into a different outlet so that
the microwave oven and the receiver are on
different branch circuits.
d. Relocate the radio or the TV.
• This microwave should not be built into cabinetry
or mounted on a shelf above an electric or gas
range.
• Wash all removable parts such as the glass turntable,
turntable ring and metal rack before using and let dry
completely before placing back into the microwave
oven.
Child Lock
This is a safety feature that prevents unwanted oven
operation, such as use by children. Once the child lock
is set, no cooking can be done. To set the child lock,
press and hold the “Stop/Clear” button until you hear a
beep, and the lock indicator symbol will appear on the
digital display.
To cancel the child lock, press and hold the “Stop/Clear”
button until you hear a beep, and the lock indicator will
disappear. The oven is now ready for use.
Setting the Clock
When the microwave oven is connected to a power
source the digital display will have “0:00” on it, and the
buzzer will ring once.
Because the clock works in a 12-hour cycle, the input
time must be within 1:00 – 12:59. For example, to set the
clock to 12:12:
1. Press the “Clock “ button on the control panel, and
“00:00” will be displayed.
2. Press the numbers “1”-“2”-“1”-“2” on the key pad
to enter the clock time.
3. Press “AM/PM” to choose either AM or PM.
Note: If neither AM or PM is selected, then it will be AM
as default.
4. Press the “Clock” button to confirm the time setting.
“:” will flash, and the time will light.
Pre-Set
Use this function to set your oven to start cooking
automatically at a pre-determined time, perform the
following steps:
1. Input one or two cooking programs you would like to
use.
Note: Defrost by Weight or Defrost by Time cannot be
programmed within the Pre-Set feature.
2. Press “Pre-Set” to display the current time.
3. Press the number keys on the control panel to set a
future time that you would like to cook at. Press
“AM/PM” to specify whether the time is AM or PM.
Important: Please note that in order for this feature to
work accurately you must have programmed the clock on
the microwave oven to the right time (A.M. and P.M.
included).
Note: Because the clock works in a 12-hour cycle, you
may not have the pre-set cooking time occur more than
12 hours after having set the pre-set cooking feature.
