INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
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 anticlockwise. See page 9 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.
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.
In using recipes or package directions, check food a minute or two before the minimum time and add
time accordingly.
