PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
1.
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.
2.
Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner
residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
3.
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:

Door (bent),
b)
Hinges and latches (broken or loosened),
c)
Door seals and sealing surfaces.
4.
The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service
personnel.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic
safety precautions should be followed,
including the following:
WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns,
electric shock, fire, and injury to persons
or exposure to excessive microwave
energy:
1. Read all instructions before using the
appliance.
2. Read
and
follow
the
specific
"PRECAUTIONS
TO
AVOID
POSSIBLE
EXPOSURE
TO
EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE
ENERGY".
3. This appliance must be grounded.
Connect only to properly grounded
outlet. See "grounding instructions”.
4. Install or locate this appliance only in
accordance
with
the
provided
installation instructions.
5. Some products such as whole eggs
and sealed containers -for example,
closed glass jars- are able to explode
and should not be heated in this oven.
6. Use this appliance only for its
intended use as described in this
manual.
Do
not
use
corrosive
chemicals or vapors in this appliance.
This type of oven is specifically
designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It
is not designed for industrial or
laboratory use.
7. As
with
any
appliance,
close
supervision is necessary when used
by children.
8. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven
cavity:
Do not overcook food. Carefully
attend appliance when paper, plastic,
or other combustible materials are
placed inside the oven to facilitate
cooking.
Remove wire twist-ties from paper or
plastic bags before placing bag in
oven.
If materials inside the oven should
ignite, keep oven door closed, turn
oven off, and disconnect the power
cord or shut off power at the fuse or
circuit breaker panel.
Do not use the cavity for storage
purposes.
Do
not
leave
paper
products, cooking utensils or food in
the cavity when not in use.
9. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea
can be overheated beyond the boiling
point without appearing to be boiling
due to surface tension of the liquid.
Visible bubbling or boiling when the
container
is
removed
from
the
microwave oven is not always present.
THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT
LIQUIDS
SUDDENLY
BOILING
OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER
UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE
LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to
person:
Do not overheat the liquid.
Stir the liquid both before and
halfway through heating it.
Do not use straight-sided containers
with narrow necks.
After heating, allow the container to
stand in the microwave oven for a
short time before removing the
container.
Use extreme care when inserting a
spoon or other utensil into the
container.
10. Do not heat oil or fat for deep-frying. It
is difficult to control the temperature of
oil in microwave oven.
11. Pierce foods with heavy skins such as
potatoes, whole squash, apples and
chestnuts before cooking.
12. The contents of feeding bottles and
baby jars should be stirred or shaken
and
the
temperature should
be
checked before serving in order to
avoid burns.
13. Cooking utensils may become hot
because of heat transferred from the
heated food. Potholders may be
needed to handle the utensil.
14. Do not cover or block any openings on
the appliance.
15. Do not store or use this appliance
outdoors. Do not use this product near
water, for example, near a kitchen sink,
in a wet basement, near a swimming
pool, or similar locations.
16. Do not operate this appliance if it has
a damaged cord or a plug, if it is not
working properly or if it has been
damaged or dropped.
17. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
Keep cord away from heated surface.
Do not let cord hang over edge of
table or counter.
18. Use only thermometers, which are
specifically
designed
for
use
in
microwave ovens.
19. Do not operate any heating or cooking
appliance beneath this appliance.
20. Be certain the glass tray and roller
rings are in place when you operate
the oven
21. This appliance should be serviced
only by qualified service personnel
contact nearest authorized service
facility for examination, repair, or
adjustment.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the
event
of
an
electrical
short
circuit,
grounding reduces risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electric
current. The appliance is equipped with a
cord having a grounding wire with a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded.
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. It is recommended
that a separate circuit serving only the oven
be provided. The oven is equipped with a
3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged
into a wall receptacle that is properly
installed and grounded.
Power Supply Cord
1.
A short power supply cord is provided
to reduce the risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over
a longer cord.
2.
Longer cord sets or extension cords
are available and may be used if care
is exercised in their use.
3.
If long cord or extension cord is used:
a)
The marked electrical rating of the
cord set or extension cord should
be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance.
b)
The extension cord must be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
The
longer
cord
should
be
arranged so that it will not drape
over the counter top or table top
where it can be pulled on by
children
or
tripped
over
unintentionally.
Notes:
1.
If you have any questions about the
grounding or electrical instructions,
consult
a
qualified
electrician
or
service person.
2.
Neither Galanz nor the dealer can
accept any liability for damage to the
oven or personal injury resulting from
failure
to
observe
the
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 circuit, relocated the radio or TV as
far away from the oven as feasible or check
position and signal of receiving antenna.
UTENSILS GUIDE
This section lists which utensils can be
used in the microwave, which ones have
limited use for short periods, and which
ones should not be used in the microwave.
Recommended
· Microwave browning dish — Use to
brown the 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
spattering. Do not use recycled paper
towels, which may contain metal and
could ignite.
·Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes
— Use for heating or cooking.
· Paper plates and cups — Use for
short-term heating at low temperatures.
Do not use recycled paper, which may
contain metal and could ignite.
·Wax paper — Use as a cover to prevent
spattering.
·Thermometers — Use only those labeled
“Microwave Safe” and follow all directions.
Check the food in several places.
Conventional thermometers may be used
