INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

UNPACKING AND EXAMINING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

Remove all packing materials from inside the microwave oven

cavity; however, DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER,

which is located on the top cavity wall. Read enclosures and

SAVE this Installation/Use and Care Guide.

Check the microwave oven for any damage, such as misaligned

or bent door, damaged door seals and sealing surfaces, 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

microwave oven and contact your dealer or DCS AUTHORIZED

SERVICER.

CHOOSING A LOCATION FOR YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

You will use your oven frequently so plan its

location for ease of use. Allow at least 2 inches on

the sides, top and at the rear of the oven for air

circulation.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. This microwave 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 accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.In the event

of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for

the electric current.

Warning – Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp

or more protected electrical supply. It is recommended that a

separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

The microwave oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug.

It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly

installed and grounded. Should you only have a 2-prong outlet,

have a qualified electrician install a correct wall receptacle.

A 3-prong adapter may be purchased and used temporarily if

local codes allow. Follow package directions.

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of

becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

EXTENSION CORD

If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire

extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot

receptacle that will accept the plug on the microwave oven. The

marked rating of the extension cord should be AC 115-120 volt,

15 amp or more.

Be careful not to drape the cord over the countertop or table

where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over

accidentally.

Notes:

1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electri-

cian or service person.

2. Neither DCS nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the microwave oven or personal

injury resulting from failure to observe the correct electrical connection procedures.

RADIO OR TV INTERFERENCE

Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven to your radio or TV, check that the

microwave oven is on a different electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far away from the

microwave oven as feasible or check position and signal of receiving antenna.

ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

This Installation/Use and Care Guide 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 microwave oven without the turntable and support nor turn the turntable over so that

a large dish could be placed in the microwave oven. The turntable will turn both clockwise and

counterclockwise.

ALWAYS have food in the microwave 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.

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 condensation as uncovered ones.Vents on the oven back must not be blocked.

After using convection, automatic mix or broil, you will hear the sound of the cooling fan.The fan may

continue to operate as long as 5 minutes, depending on the oven temperature.

Be aware that,unlike microwave-only ovens,convection microwave ovens have a tendency to become

hot during convection, automatic mix and broil cooking.

The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.

Your oven is rated 900 watts using the IEC Test Procedure.In using recipes or package directions, check

food at the minimum time and add time accordingly.

ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING

• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.

• Watch cooking time.Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed.Food

severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.

• Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for suggestions: - paper towels, wax paper,

microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.

• Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any thin areas of meat or poultry to prevent

overcooking before dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.

• Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if possible.

• Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and

hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.

• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the

center of the dish to the outside.

• Add standing time. Remove food from microwave oven and stir, if possible. Cover for standing time

which allows the food to finish cooking without overcooking.

• Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking temperatures have been reached.

Doneness signs include:

- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.

- Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.

- Poultry thigh joints move easily.

- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.

- Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE

Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave oven with a supervising person very near to

them. Between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person should be in the same room.

The child must be able to reach the microwave oven comfortably; if not, he/she should stand on a

sturdy stool.

At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the microwave oven door.

Children should be taught all safety precautions: use potholders, remove coverings carefully, pay

special attention to packages that crisp food because they may be extra hot.

Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one cooking skill he/she can cook everything.

Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not a toy. See page 48 for Safety Lock feature.
