Radio Interference; Microwave Cooking Principles; Grounding Instructions - Hitachi HMR-DG2012 Instruction Manual

2 Installation and connection
2.1 Installation
1. Make sure that all the packing materials
are removed from the inside of the door.
WARNING: Check the oven for
any damage, such as misaligned
or bent door, damaged door
seals and sealing surface,
broken or loose door hinges and
latches and dents inside the
cavity or on the door. If there
is any damage, do not operate
the oven and contact qualified
service personnel.
2. This microwave oven must be placed on a
flat, stable surface to hold its weight and
the heaviest food likely to be cooked in
the oven.
3. Do not place the oven where heat,
moisture, or high humidity are generated,
or near combustible materials.
4. For correct operation, the oven must have
sufficient airflow. Allow minimum 20cm of
free space necessary above the top
surface of the oven and 5cm at both
sides. The microwave oven rear plate
must be placed close to the wall. Do not
cover or block any openings on the
appliance. Do not remove feet.
5. Do not operate the oven without glass
tray, roller support, and shaft in their
proper positions.
6. Make sure that the power supply cord is
undamaged and does not run under the
oven or over any hot or sharp surface.
7. The socket must be readily accessible so
that it can be easily unplugged in an
emergency.
8. Do not use the oven outdoors.

2.2 Radio interference

Operation of the microwave oven can cause
interference to your radio, TV, or similar
equipment.When there is interference, it
may be reduced or eliminated by taking the
following measures:
1. Clean door and sealing surface of the
oven.
2. Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or
television.
3. Relocate the microwave oven with
respect to the receiver.
4. Move the microwave oven away from the
receiver.
5. Plug the microwave oven into a different
outlet so that microwave oven and
receiver are on different branch circuits.
2.3 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.

2.4 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.
