The microwave oven is operated from 120 Volt AC supplied by either shore
power, the generator or the inverter. Microwaves heat food by using sound
waves generated at a very high frequency (2,450 MHZ) to agitate the water
molecules inside the item being heated. The higher the water content is to solids
the faster the response or the shorter the cooking time. Inside the microwave is
a turntable that rotates when the microwave is operating. This helps to heat the
food evenly. The turntable can be turned off if a baking dish or other large item
is used. The microwave is designed to sit over a range or cooktop. When cook-
ing from the cooktop, use the microwave's two speed
ventilation fan. The fan draws air in from the bottom of the microwave through
a pair of grease filters then discharges the filtered air out through a replacable
charcoal filter at the top. The ventilation fan may be operated manually or may
start automatically by a thermostat activated from heat produced by the cook-
top.
The microwave offers many different features. Some include varied cooking
times with different power settings: automatic sensor cooking, a kitchen timer,
Metric to American conversion chart (which includes temperature and weight),
on screen programming help, childproof lockout and auto defrost cycles. The
screen may be programmed to display one of three different languages.
The microwave/convection oven has the ability to cook food with heat like
an electric oven, or preheat the oven with heat and cook with microwaves.
Other features include the ability to cook with microwaves and convection at
the same time, sensor cooking and a built-in broiler.
WARNING: If a fire flares up when using the cooktop, turn off the
ventilation fan. The fan may spread the flame. If the ventilation fan
has started automatically from a heated cooktop it can not be manu-
ally turned off. Turn off the microwave AC circuit breaker or unplug
the unit to prevent the flame from getting up into the microwave and
spreading the fire.
NOTE: When cooking in convection mode try to avoid using the
inverter as the AC power source due to the high rate of battery
consumption.
NOTE: The microwave is for food preparation only. Do not use the
microwave to dry clothes, newspapers, shoes or other items.
Safety Lock:
The microwave comes with a safety lock feature. This feature prevents the
oven from operating accidentally. To use this feature:
• Press the CUSTOM HELP pad.
• Press the 1 pad.
• Press the START/TOUCH-ON pad.
The oven is now locked. If any button is pressed the word LOCK appears
on the screen and the oven will not operate. The fan and hood light are still
