MICROWAVE COOKING PRINCIPLES 

1.  Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas 

towards outside of dish. 

2.  Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest 

amount of time indicated and add more as 
needed. Food severely overcooked can 
smoke or ignite. 

3.  Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent 

spattering and help foods to cook evenly. 

4.  Turn foods over once during microwave 

cooking to speed cooking of such foods as 
chicken and hamburgers. Large items like 
roasts must be turned over at least once. 

5.  Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway 

through cooking both from top to bottom and 
from the center of the dish to the outside.   

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS 

This appliance must be grounded. This oven is 
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with 
a grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall 
receptacle that is properly installed and grounded. 
In the event of an electrical short circuit, 
grounding reduces risk of electric shock by 
providing an escape wire for the electric current. It 
is recommended that a separate circuit serving 
only the oven be provided. Using a high voltage is 
dangerous and may result in a fire or other 
accident causing oven damage. 

WARNING

 Improper use of the grounding plug 

can result in a risk of electric shock. 

Note: 

1.  If you have any questions about the 

grounding or electrical instructions, consult a 
qualified electrician or service person. 

2.  Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can 

accept any liability for damage to the oven or 
personal injury resulting from failure to 
observe the electrical connection 
procedures. 

The wires in this cable main are colored in 
accordance with the following code: 
Green and Yellow = EARTH   
Blue = NEUTRAL 
Brown = LIVE 

BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE 

If the oven fails to operate: 
1.  Check to ensure that the oven is plugged in 

securely. If it is not, remove the plug from the 
outlet, wait 10 seconds, and plug it in again 
securely. 

2.  Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped 

main circuit breaker. If these seem to be 
operating properly, test the outlet with 

another appliance. 

3.  Check to ensure that the control panel is 

programmed correctly and the timer is set. 

4.  Check to ensure that the door is securely 

closed engaging the door safety lock system. 
Otherwise, the microwave energy will not 
flow into the oven. 

IF NONE OF THE ABOVE RECTIFIES THE SITUATION, THEN CONTACT A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN. 
DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE OVEN YOURSELF.
