Getting Started

Choosing a Location

For Your Microwave Oven on the Counter

You will use the microwave oven frequently so plan its

location for ease of use. It’s wise, if possible, to have

counter space on at least one side of the microwave oven.

Allow at least 2 inches on the sides, top and at the rear of

the microwave oven for air circulation.

For Your Built-in Microwave Oven

Your microwave oven can be built into a cabinet or wall

by itself or above any electric wall oven or warming

drawer.

E

Getting Started

This appliance must be grounded. This microwave 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.

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. or more protected electrical supply. It is

recommended that a separate circuit serving only this

appliance be provided.

The microwave 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 qualiﬁed electrician install

a correct wall receptacle.

A 3-prong adapter may be purchased and used

temporarily 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.

Grounding Instructions

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.

Note:

1. If you have any questions about the grounding or

electrical instructions, consult a qualiﬁed electrician or

service person.

2. Neither Viking Range, LLC nor the dealer can accept

any liability for damage to the microwave oven or

personal injury resulting from failure to observe the

correct 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 electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV

as far away from the microwave oven as feasible or check

position and signal of receiving antenna.

Getting Started

ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

This Installation/Use and Care Manual is valuable: read it

carefully and always save it for reference.

A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check

it for microwave cooking principles, techniques, hints

and recipes.

NEVER use the microwave oven without the turntable and

support nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish

could be placed in the microwave oven. The turntable will

turn both clockwise and counterclockwise.

ALWAYS have food in the microwave oven when it is on

to absorb the microwave energy.

When using the microwave oven at power levels below

100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off.

It is normal for the exterior of the microwave 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 inﬂuence

the amount of moisture that condenses in the microwave

oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much

condensation as uncovered ones. Vents on the microwave

oven back must not be blocked.

The microwave oven is for food preparation only. It should

not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.

Your microwave oven is rated 1100 watts by using the IEC

Test Procedure. In using recipes or package directions,

check food a minute or two before the minimum time and

add time accordingly.

ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE

MICROWAVE

Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave

oven with a supervising person very near to them. Between

the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person should be

in the same room.

The child must be able to reach the microwave oven

comfortably; if not, he/she should stand on a sturdy stool.

At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on

the microwave oven door.

Children should be taught all safety precautions: use

potholders, remove coverings carefully, pay special

attention to packages that crisp food because they may

be extra hot.

Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one

cooking skill he/she can cook everything.

Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not a

toy. See page 27 for Child Lock feature.

Information You Need To Know

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 oven. 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

• paper plates

• microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain

• browning dish (Do not exceed recommended

preheating time. Follow manufacturer's 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

Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving,

place the empty dish in the microwave oven and

microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. 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.

• Microwave oven cooking bags are good for large

meats or foods that need tenderizing. DO NOT use

metal twist ties. Remember to slit bag so steam can

escape.

HOW TO USE ALUMINUM FOIL IN YOUR

MICROWAVE OVEN:

• Small ﬂat 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 one inch to any surface of

the microwave 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 so that they meet your needs. A microwave-

safe thermometer will assist you in determining correct

doneness and assure you that foods have been cooked to

safe temperatures. Viking Range, LLC is not responsible

for any damage to the microwave oven when accessories

are used.

ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING

• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards

outside of dish.

• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of

time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely

overcooked can smoke or ignite.

• Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook

for suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave

plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and

help foods to cook evenly.

• Shield with small ﬂat pieces of aluminum foil any thin

areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking before

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 the center

of the dish to the outside.

• Add standing time. Remove food from microwave

oven and stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which

allows the food to ﬁnish cooking without overcooking.

• Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that

cooking temperatures have been reached.

Doneness signs include:

- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.

- Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.

- Poultry thigh joints move easily.

- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.

- Fish is opaque and ﬂakes easily with a fork.

ABOUT SAFETY

• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United

States Department of Agriculture's recommended

temperatures.

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 oven use.

TEMP FOOD

160˚F (71˚C) ...for fresh pork, ground meat,

boneless white poultry, fish,

seafood, egg dishes and frozen

prepared food.

165˚F (74˚C) ...for leftover, ready-to-reheat

refrigerated, and deli and carry-

out “fresh” food.

170˚F (77˚C) ... white meat of poultry.

180˚F (82˚C) ... dark meat of poultry.

• ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when

handling utensils that are in contact with hot food.

Enough heat from the food can transfer through utensils

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 microwave

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 cavity 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 ﬁres.

• Use care when removing items from the microwave

oven so that the utensil, your clothes or accessories

do not touch the safety door latches.

• Keep aluminum foil used for shielding at least 2.5 cm

(1 inch) away from walls, ceiling and door of microwave

oven.

MANUAL DEFROST

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the

Super Defrost and Auto Charts or is above or below the

limits in the “Amount” column on the Super Defrost

and Auto Defrost Charts (pages 24 and 25), you need to

defrost manually.

You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously

cooked, by using Power Level 3. Follow the exact 4-step

procedure found under To Set Power Level. Estimate

defrosting time and press Power Level 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

spaghetti 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

30% until totally defrosted.

When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost

only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to

place in a microwave-safe dish.

TIME COOKING

Your microwave oven can be programmed for 99 minutes

Sensor Options

The 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

level for various foods and quantities.

USING SENSOR SETTINGS:

1. After microwave oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes

before using SENSOR OPTIONS.

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 microwave oven works with foods at normal storage

temperature. For example, popcorn would be at room

temperature.

4. Any SENSOR OPTIONS selection can be programmed
