Information You need To Know
About your oven
This Use and Care Guide is valuable: read it carefully
and always save it for reference.
NEvER use the Convectio n microwave 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.
ALwAy S have food in the Convection microwave
oven when it is on to absorb the microwave energy.
When using the Convection microwave oven at
power levels below 100%, you may hear the mag-
netron 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 mic rowave cook-
ing. Room humidity and the moisture in food will
influence the amount of moisture that condense s in
the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as
much condensation as uncovered ones. Ventilation
openings must not be blocked.
The Convection microwave oven is for food prepa-
ration only. It should not be used to dry clothes or
newspapers.
Your Convection microwave oven is rated 900 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.
