ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
This Use and Care 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 microwave oven without the turntable and support nor turn
the turntable over so that a large dish could be placed in the microwave
oven. The turntable will turn both clockwise and counterclockwise.
ALWAYS have food in the microwave oven when it is on to absorb the mi-
crowave energy.
When using the oven at power levels below 100%, you may hear the mag-
netron 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 microwave oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much
condensation as uncovered ones. Vents on the microwave oven back must
not be blocked.
After using convection, automatic mix or broil, you will hear the sound of the
cooling fan. The fan may continue to operate as long as 5 minutes, depend-
ing on the oven temperature.
Be aware that, unlike microwave-only ovens, convection microwave ovens
have a tendency to become hot during convection, automatic mix and broil
cooking.
The microwave oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to
dry clothes or newspapers.
Your microwave output is rated 850 watts using the IEC Test Procedure. In
using recipes or package directions, check food at the minimum time and
add time accordingly.
ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE
Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave oven with a supervis-
ing person very near to them. Between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising
person should be in the same room.
The child must be able to reach the microwave oven comfortably; if not,
he/she should stand on a sturdy stool.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the microwave oven
door.
Children should be taught all safety precautions: use potholders, remove
coverings carefully, pay special attention to packages that crisp food because
they may be extra hot.
