ABOUT YOUR OVEN

This Operation Manual is valuable: read it carefully and
always save it for reference.
Check recipes included in this operation manual as well
as this section for cooking principles, techniques and
hints.
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. Only remove for cleaning or for the
foods specified in this manual. The turntable will turn both
clockwise and counterclockwise.
ALWAYS
have food in the oven when it is on to absorb
the microwave energy.
When using the oven at power levels below MICRO 100%,
you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is nor-
mal for the exterior of the oven to be warm to the touch
when cooking or reheating.

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. Gener-
ally, covered foods will not have as much condensation
as uncovered ones. Vents on the oven back must not be
blocked.
After using, the cooling fan may come on to cool the
oven cavity. The display will show COOLING, and you
will hear the sound of the fan.
Unlike microwave-only ovens, your oven may become
hot during cooking. Be cautious.
The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be
used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your oven is rated 650 watts by using the IEC Test
Procedure. Check food as it cooks and remove when done.
