IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the

following:



WARNING



To reduce the risk of burns, electrical shock, fire,

injury to persons, or exposure to excessive

microwave energy when using your appliance,

follow these basic precautions:

• Read all instructions before using the appliance.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

 BEFORE USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.

• Check

to be sure you have all of the following parts:

• Glass Tray Installation Hardware Kit

• Turntable Roller Assembly (Roller or Roller Ring) (Detailed Breakdown In Installation

• Instruction Manual / Installation Manual Manual)

• Inspect the oven after unpacking for any visual damage such as:

• Misaligned Door

• Damaged Door

• Dents or Holes in Door Window and Screen

• Dents in Cavity

If

any of the above is visible, DO NOT use the oven.

 INSTALLATION OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

SEE FULL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS IN INSTALLATION MANUAL

• Do not block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the oven may overheat and eventually cause

oven failure.

• Poor television reception and radio interference may result if the oven is located close to a TV, radio, antenna,

or antenna wire. Position the oven as far from them as possible.

• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

• Keep the oven away from hot air, steam or splashing liquids when choosing a place to locate it, otherwise, the

unit’s operation may be adversely affected, causing it to break down.

• Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption.

• Plug the appliance into an exclusive properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances

cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and or

grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized Avanti Products service center.

• DO NOT place anything on the top of the oven.

• DO NOT remove the turn-table drive shaft.

 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO

EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door-open since open-door operation can result in harmful

exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.

(b)

Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to

accumulate on sealing surfaces.

(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close properly and that

there is no damage to the : (1) Door ( bent ), (2) Hinges and latches ( broken or loosened ), (3) Door seals

and sealing surfaces.

(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

7

GENERAL USE

• DO NOT attempt to tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to door, control panel or any other part

of the oven. Do NOT remove outer panel from oven. Repairs should only be done by qualified service

personnel.

• DO NOT operate the oven empty. The microwave energy will reflect continuously throughout the oven if no

food or water is present to absorb energy.

• If a fire occurs in the oven, touch the START/STOP pad and LEAVE THE DOOR CLOSED. Disconnect the

power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

• DO NOT attempt to dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in oven. They may catch on fire.

• DO NOT use recycled paper products, as they may contain impurities, which may cause sparks and/or fires

when used.

• DO NOT hit or strike control panel. Damage to controls may occur.

UTENSILS

• METAL CONTAINERS or dishes with metallic rims should not be used. Arcing may occur.

• METAL TWIST-TIES may not be used in the microwave oven.

• DO NOT use SEALED JARS or NARROW NECK bottles for cooking or reheating. They may shatter.

• DO NOT use CONVENTIONAL THERMOMETERS in the microwave oven. They may cause arcing. Use

only those labeled “Microwave Safe” and follow all directions. Check the food in several places.

• Remove PLASTIC STORE WRAPS before cooking or defrosting in the oven.

RECOMMENDED

• Microwave browning dish – Use to brown exterior of small items such as steaks, chops, or pancakes.

Follow the directions provided with your browning dish.

• Microwaveable plastic wrap – Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some steam to escape and

avoid placing it directly on the food.

• Paper towels and napkins – Use for short-term heating and covering; these absorb excess moisture and

prevent splattering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and could ignite.

FOOD

• Paper towels and napkins – Use for short-term heating and covering; these absorb excess moisture and

prevent splattering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and could ignite.

• Never use your microwave oven for HOME CANNING. The oven is not designed to permit proper canning.

Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.

• COOKING TIMES are approximate. Factors that may affect cooking are starting temperature, altitude,

volume, size and shape of food and utensils used. As you become familiar with the oven, you will be able

to adjust for these factors.

• It is better to UNDERCOOK RATHER THAN OVERCOOK foods. If food is undercooked, it can always be

returned to the oven for further cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can be done. Always start with

minimum cooking times.

• SMALL QUANTITIES of food or foods with LOW MOISTURE content can burn, dry out or catch on fire if

cooked too long.

• DO NOT boil eggs in their shell. Pressure may build up and the eggs will explode.

• Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole acorn squash and sausage are examples of food with NONPOROUS

SKINS. These must be pierced before cooking to prevent bursting.

• POPCORN must be popped in a microwave corn popper. Microwave popped corn produces a lower yield

than conventional popping. DO NOT use oven for popcorn unless popped in a microwave approved

popcorn utensil or unless it’s commercially packaged and recommended especially for microwave ovens.

DO NOT use oil unless specified by the manufacturer.

• DO NOT attempt to deep fat fry in your oven.

• HEATED LIQUIDS can ERUPT if not mixed with air. DO NOT heat liquids in your microwave oven without

first stirring.

 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Th

is appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electrical

shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding

wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

The po

wer cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets

to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.

Do no

t under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied.

Do not

use the extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman to install

an outlet near the appliance.

This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volts A.C. ~/60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground.

The c

ord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury.

OPERATING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

Although your oven is provided with safety features, it is important to observe the following:

• It is important not to defeat or tamper with safety interlocks.

• Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow residue to accumulate on sealing

surfaces. Wipe the sealing area frequently with a mild detergent, rinse and wipe dry. Never use abrasive

powders or pads.

• When opened, the door must not be subjected to strain, for example, a child hanging on an opened door or any

load which could cause the oven to fall forward and cause injury and damage the door. Do not operate the oven

if it is damaged, until it has been repaired by a qualified service person. It is particularly important that the oven

closes properly and that there is no damage to the:

• Door (bent)

• Hinges and latches (broken or loosened)

• Door seals and sealing surfaces

• The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

Warning

Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. Consult a qualified

electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt

exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
