This 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 oven without the turntable and support

nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could

be placed in the oven. 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 100%, you

may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is normal

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.

Generally, covered foods will not cause as much con-

densation as uncovered ones. Vents on the oven back

must not be blocked.
The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be

used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your oven is rated 1200 watts by using the IEC Test

procedure. In using recipes or package directions,

check food a minute or two before the minimum time

and add time accordingly.
