manual abstract
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. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a three wire extension cord that has a third blade grounding plug, and a three slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord should be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance. Radio Interference 1. Operation of the microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV or similar equipment. 2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the following measures: a. Clean door and sealing surface of the oven. (See Care of Your Microwave Oven found on page 13) b. Place the radio, TV, etc. away from the microwave oven as far as possible. c. Use a properly installed antenna to obtain stronger signal reception. Wiring Requirements 1. The oven must be on a SEPARATE CIRCUIT. No other appliance should share the circuit with the microwave oven. If it does, the branch circuit fuse may blow or the circuit breaker may trip, or the food may cook slower than times recommended in this manual. 2. The VOLTAGE used must be the same as specified on this microwave oven (120 V). Using a higher voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire or other accident causing oven damage. Using a lower voltage will cause slow cooking. Quasar is NOT responsible for damage resulting from the use of the oven with other than specified voltage. 3. The oven must be plugged into at least a 15 AMP, 120 VOLT, 60 Hz GROUNDED OUTLET. Where a standard ^ two-prong outlet is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the consumer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong outlet. 4. A TEMPORARY CONNECTIONS with a two prong adaptor may be made where LOCAL CODES PERMIT it. Unless the cover screw is grounded through the house wiring, attaching the adaptor grounding plate to the cover screw will not ground the oven. If there is any doubt that the cover screw is grounded, __p— an electrician. ' Power Supply 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 a long cord or extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the extension cord must b a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and (3) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally. -3- Practical Hints Follow These Safety Precautions When Cooking in Your Oven 1) HOME CANNING / PRYING FOODS / 6) LIQUIDS SMALL QUANTITIES OF FOODS • Do not use your oven for home canning or the heating of any closed jar. Pressure will build up and the jar may explode. Your oven cannot maintain the food at the proper canning temperature. Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume. • Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture content can dry out, burn or catch on fire. • Do not dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in your oven. IMPORTANT Proper cooking depends on time set and weight of food. If you use a smaller portion than recommended and cook at the time for the recommended portion, fire can result. If a fire occurs, turn the oven off and leave the oven door closed. Disconnect the power cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel. 2) POPCORN_ Popcorn must be popped in a microwave oven corn popper. Microwave popcorn which pops in its own package is also available. Follow popcorn manufacturers’ directions and use a brand suitable for the wattage of your microwave oven. Never leave oven unattended when popping popcorn. Allow the popcorn bag to cool before opening it. To prevent steam burns, always open the bag away from your face and body. CAUTION: When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, follow recommended package Instructions. Check package weight before using the popcorn pad. Set the oven for the weight of the popcorn package, (see page 9) If these Instructions are not followed, the popcorn may not pop adequately or may ignite and cause a fire. 3) DEEP FAT FRYING • Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven. Cooking oils may burst into flames and may cause damage to the oven and perhaps result in burns. Microwave utensils may not be able to withstand the temperature of the hot oil, and could shatter. 4) EGGS • Do not heat eggs in their shell in a microwave oven. Pressure will build up and the eggs will explode. 5) FOODS WITH NONPOROUS SKINS • Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole squash and sausages are examples of foods with nonporous skins. These types of f...
