Information You Need To Know
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk
of electric shock.
This appliance must be grounded. This oven is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding
plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.
In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire
for the electric current.
Electrical Requirements
The electrical requirements are
a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15
amp. or more protected electri-
cal supply. It is recommended
that a separate circuit serving
only this appliance 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. Should
you only have a 2-prong outlet,
have a qualied electrician in-
stall a correct wall receptacle.
A 3-prong adapter may be purchased and used temporar-
ily if local codes allow. Follow package directions.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension Cord
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a
3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug
and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the
microwave oven. The marked rating of the extension cord
should be AC 115-120 volt, 15 amp. or more.
Be careful not to drape the cord over the countertop or
table where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over
accidentally.
NOTES:
If you have any questions about the grounding or
electrical instructions, consult a qualied electrician or
service person.
Neither Dacor nor the dealer can accept any liability
for damage to the oven or personal injury resulting
from failure to observe the correct electrical connec-
tion procedures.

Information You Need To Know
Radio or TV Interference
Should there be any interference caused by the micro-
wave oven to your radio or TV, check that the microwave
oven is on a different electrical circuit, relocate the radio
or TV as far away from the oven as feasible or check posi-
tion and signal of receiving antenna.
About Your Microwave Oven
NEVER use the oven without the turntable and support
nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could be
placed in the oven. The turntable will turn both clockwise
and counterclockwise.
ALWAYS have food in the oven when it is on to absorb the
microwave energy.
When using the oven at power levels below 100%, you
may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is normal
for the exterior of the oven to be warm to the touch when
cooking or reheating.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking.
Room humidity and the moisture in food will inuence the
amount of moisture that condenses in the oven. Gener-
ally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation
as uncovered ones. Vents on the oven back must not be
blocked.
The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be
used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your oven is rated 1100 watts by using the IEC Test Pro-
cedure. In using recipes or package directions, check food
a minute or two before the minimum time and add time
accordingly.
About Microwave Cooking
Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards
outside of dish.
Watch the cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount
of time indicated and add more as needed. Food se-
verely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
Cover foods while cooking. Check a recipe or cook-
book for suggestions like: paper towels, wax paper,
microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spat-
tering and help foods to cook evenly.
Shield with small at pieces of aluminum foil any thin
areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking be-
fore dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.
Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice
during cooking, if possible.
Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed
cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers.
Large items like roasts must be turned over at least
once.
Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through
cooking both from top to bottom and from right to
left.
Add standing time. Remove food from oven and stir,
if possible. Cover during standing time, allowing the
food to nish cooking without overcooking.
Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that
cooking temperatures have been reached.
Signs of doneness include:
- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
- Poultry thigh joints move easily.
- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
- Fish is opaque and akes easily with a fork.
About Utensils And Coverings
It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces
already in your kitchen can be used successfully in your
new microwave. Make sure the utensil does not touch the
interior walls during cooking.
Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking and
reheating:
Glass ceramic (Pyroceram
®
), such as Corningware
®
Heat-resistant glass (Pyrex
®
)
Microwave-safe plastics
Microwave-safe paper plates
Microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain
Browning dish (Do not exceed recommended preheat-
ing time. Follow manufacturers directions.)
These items can be used for short time reheating of foods
that have little fat or sugar in them:
Wood, straw, wicker
Do Not Use
Metal pans and bakeware
Dishes with metallic trim
Non-heat-resistant glass
Non-microwave-safe plastics (margarine tubs)
Recycled paper products
Brown paper bags
Food storage bags
Metal twist-ties
E5
HeadingInformation You Need To Know
Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving,
place the empty dish in the microwave on HIGH for 30 sec-
onds. A dish which becomes very hot should not be used.
The following coverings are ideal:
Paper towels are good for covering foods for reheating
and absorbing fat while cooking bacon.
Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheating.
Plastic wrap that is specially marked for microwave
use can be used for cooking and reheating. DO NOT
allow plastic wrap to touch food. Vent so steam can
escape.
Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choice
because heat is kept near the food to hasten cooking.
Oven cooking bags are good for large meats or foods
that need tenderizing. DO NOT use metal twist ties.
Remember to slit the bag so steam can escape.
How to use aluminum foil in your Oven:
Small at pieces of aluminum foil placed smoothly on
the food can be used to shield areas that are either
defrosting or cooking too quickly.
Foil should not come closer than 1 inch to any surface
of the oven.
Should you have questions about utensils or coverings,
check a good microwave cookbook or follow recipe
suggestions.
Accessories:
There are many microwave accessories available for
purchase. Evaluate carefully before you purchase to
make sure that they meet your needs. A microwave-safe
thermometer will assist you in determining correct done-
ness and assure you that foods have been cooked to safe
temperatures. Dacor is not responsible for any damage to
the appliance when accessories are used.
About Children And The
Microwave
Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave
oven
with a supervising person very near to them. Be-
tween the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person
should be in the same room. The child must be able to
reach the oven comfortably.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or sit on the
oven.
Children should be taught all safety precautions: how
to use potholders, remove coverings carefully and pay
special attention to packages that crisp food because they
may be extra hot.
Do not assume because a child has mastered one cooking
skill that he/she can cook everything.
Children need to learn that the microwave oven
is not a
toy. See page 20 for Child Lock feature.
About Safety
Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United
States Department of Agriculture’s recommended tem-
peratures.
160˚F - For fresh pork, ground meat, boneless white
poultry, sh, seafood, egg dishes and frozen
prepared food.
165˚F - For leftovers, ready-to-reheat refrigerated;
deli and carry-out “fresh” food.
170˚F - White meat of poultry.
180˚F - Dark meat of poultry.
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a
thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave
the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is
approved for microwave use.
ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when
handling utensils that are in contact with hot food.
Enough heat from the food can transfer through uten-
sils to cause skin burns.
Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from
the face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of a
dish’s covering and carefully open popcorn and oven
cooking bags away from the face.
Stay near the microwave oven
while it’s in use and
check cooking progress frequently so that there is no
chance of overcooking food.
NEVER use the microwave oven
for storing cookbooks
or other items.
Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve
its high quality and minimize the spread of foodborne
bacteria.
Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause
arcing and/or res.
Use care when removing items from the oven so that
the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not touch
the safety door latches.

Manual Defrost
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the
Defrost Chart or is above or below the limits in the
Amount column on the Super Defrost or Compu Defrost
Charts on page 18, you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously
cooked, by setting the Power Level to 30%. Follow the
exact 3 step procedure found under To Set Power Level.
Estimate defrosting time and press the POWER LEVEL key
eight times for 30% power.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food, the rule
of thumb is approximately 4 minutes per pound. For
example, defrost 4 minutes for 1 pound of frozen spa-
ghetti sauce.
Always stop the microwave oven periodically to remove
or separate the portions that are defrosted. If food is not
defrosted at the end of the estimated defrosting time,
program the microwave oven in 1 minute increments at a
Power Level of 30% until totally defrosted.
When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost
only long enough to remove from the plastic, then place in
a microwave-safe dish.
Manual Operation
To Set Power Level
There are 11 preset power levels.
Using lower power levels increases the cooking time,
which is recommended for foods such as cheese, milk and
long slow cooked meats. Consult a microwave cookbook

Popcorn 1 package Use only popcorn packaged for the microwave. Try several brands to decide your
favorite. Do not try to pop unpopped kernels.
1.5 - 3.5 oz. bag Touch the POPCORN key and touch START.
Dacor's sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects the
vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from the food as
it heats. The sensor adjusts the cooking times and power
levels for various foods and quantities.
Using Sensor Settings:
1. After the microwave oven is plugged in, wait 2 min-
utes before using any sensor setting.
2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the
interior of the microwave oven are dry. Wipe off any
moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.
3. The sensor works with foods at normal storage tem-
perature. For example, popcorn would be at room
temperature.
4. Any sensor selection can be programmed with More or
Less Time Adjustment. See page 20.
5. More or less food than the quantity listed in the charts
should be cooked following the guidelines in any mi-
crowave cookbook.
6. During the rst part of sensor use, the food name will
appear on the display. Do not open the microwave
oven or touch STOP/CLEAR during this part of the
cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted.
If this occurs, an error message will appear. To con-
tinue cooking, touch the STOP/CLEAR key and cook
manually.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the
food, the remainder of cooking/reheating time will
appear. The microwave oven may be opened when the
remaining time appears on the display. At this time,
you may stir or season food, as desired.
7. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when
popping popcorn, the microwave oven will turn off,
and the time of day will be displayed. If the sensor
does not detect vapor properly when cooking other
foods,
ERROR
will be displayed, and the microwave
will turn off.
8. Check the food temperature after cooking. If addition-
al time is needed, continue to cook manually.
9. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch the SET UP/
HELP key when the HELP indicator is lighted in the
display.
Covering Foods:
Some foods cook best when covered. Use the cover rec-
ommended in the charts for these foods. You may refer to
the hints by touching the SET UP/HELP key.
Casserole lid.
Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for
microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow approxi-
mately 1/2 inch to remain uncovered to allow steam
to escape. Plastic wrap should not touch food.
Wax paper: Cover dish completely; fold excess wrap
under dish to secure. If dish is wider than paper, over-
lap two pieces at least one inch to cover.
Be careful when removing any covering to allow steam to
escape away from you.
You can cook many foods by simply selecting the food and
touching START. You don’t need to calculate cooking time
or power level.
For example, to reheat canned chili:
1. Touch the REHEAT key.
2. Touch the START key.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food,
the remainder of the cooking time will appear.
NOTE:
The Fresh Vegetables and Poultry settings have 2 choices.
Follow directions in the display to choose desired option.
