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. The appliance is  
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged  
into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.  
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. 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.

Power Supply Cord  
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 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.  
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.  
Notes:  
1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified  
electrician or service person.  
2. 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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
·Microwaveable plastic wrap Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some steam to  
escape and avoid placing it directly on the food.  
·Paper towels and napkins Use for 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 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.  
·Wax paper Use as a cover to prevent spattering.

·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 oven.  
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.  
·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.  
·Plastic Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe”. Other plastics can melt.  
·Straw, wicker, and wood Use only for short-term heating, such as warming dinner rolls for a  
few seconds. Baskets and bowls may be flammable.  
Not Recommended  
·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.  
·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.  
·Metal utensils These can damage your oven. Remove all metal before cooking.  
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:  
Stirring  
especially important with large foods such as  
roasts.  
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.  
Arrangement  
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.  
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  
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.  
Turning  
Adding moisture  
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.  
Turn foods over midway through cooking to  
expose all parts to microwave energy. This is

oven gets very dirty. Avoid the use of  
spray and other harsh cleaners as they  
may stain, streak or dull the door  
surface.  
9. The roller ring and oven floor should be  
cleaned regularly to avoid excessive  
noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface  
of the oven with mild detergent. The  
roller ring may be washed in mild sudsy  
water or dishwasher. When removing  
the roller ring from cavity floor for  
cleaning, be sure to replace in the  
proper position.  
4. The outside surfaces should be cleaned  
with a damp cloth. To prevent damage  
to the operating parts inside the oven,  
water should not be allowed to seep into  
the ventilation openings.
