GROUNDING 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.

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.

WARNING Improper use of the grounding plug

can result in a risk of electric shock.

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.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60

Hz, AC only, 20 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.

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.

Power Supply Cord

Notes:

1. A short power supply cord is provided to

If you have any questions about the grounding

or electrical instructions, consult a qualified

electrician or service person.

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.

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.

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.

oven.

Λ LIMITED USE

Aluminum foil — Use narrow strips of foil to

prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Using

too much foil can damage your oven, so be

careful. You should keep distance of 1 inch

(2.54cm) between aluminum foil and cavity.

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.

Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware— Use

these if they are labeled "Microwave Safe". If

they are not labeled, test them to make sure

they can be used safely.

Microwaveable plastic wrap — Use to retain

steam. Leave a small opening for some steam

to escape and avoid placing it directly on the

food.

Plastic — Use only if labeled "Microwave

Safe". Other plastics can melt.

Paper towels and napkins

—

Use for

8 Not Recommended

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 jars and bottles — Regular glass is too

thin to be used in a microwave. It can shatter

and cause damage and injury.

Paper bags — These are a fire hazard, except

for popcorn bags that are designed for

microwave use.

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.

Styrofoam plates and cups — These can

melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food.

Plastic storage and food containers —

Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in

the microwave.

Wax paper — Use as a cover to prevent

spattering.

Metal utensils — These can damage your oven.

Remove all metal before cooking.

Thermometers — Use only those labeled

"Microwave Safe" and follow all directions.

Check the food in several places. Conventional

thermometers may be used on microwave food

once the food has been removed from the

Note:

Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for

microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven

and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish

which becomes very hot should not be used.

COOKING TECHNIQUES

Your microwave makes cooking easier than

conventional cooking, provided you keep these

considerations in mind:

TURNING

Turn foods over midway through cooking to

expose all parts to microwave energy. This is

especially important with large foods such as

roasts.

STIRRING

Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables

while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at

the outside of the dish absorbs more energy

and heats more quickly, so stir from the outside

to the center. The oven will turn off when you

open the door to stir your food.

STANDING

Foods cooked in the microwave build up

internal heat and continue to cook for a few

minutes after heating stops. Let foods stand to

complete cooking, especially foods such as

cakes and whole vegetables. Roasts need this

time to complete cooking in the center without

overcooking the outer areas. All liquids, such

as soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken or

stirred when cooking is complete. Let liquids

stand a moment before serving. When heating

baby food, stir well at removal and test the

temperature before serving.

ARRANGEMENT

Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as

chicken pieces or chops, with the thicker,

meatier parts toward the outside of the

turntable where they receive more microwave

energy. To prevent overcooking, place delicate

areas, such as asparagus tips, toward the

center of the turntable.

SHIELDING

ADDING MOISTURE

Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil

to prevent overcooking. Areas that need

shielding include poultry wing tips, the ends of

poultry legs, and corners of square baking

dishes. Use only small amounts of aluminum

foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven.

Microwave energy is attracted to water

molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture

content should be covered or allowed to stand

so that the heat disperses evenly. Add a small

amount of water to dry food to help it cook.
