9. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are  
When using electrical appliances, basic safety  
precautions should be followed, including the  
following:  
able to 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:

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.  
9
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.
