A Note to You Thank you for buying a ROPER@ appliance. Your ROPER microwave oven gives you all the functionality of name brand appliances at a value price. To ensure that you enjoy years of trouble-free operation, we developed this Use and Care Guide.
Microwave Oven Safety Your safety is important to us. This guide contains safety symbols and statements. Please pay special attention to these symbols and follow any instructions given. Here is a brief explanation of the use of the symbol. This symbol alerts you to hazards such as fire, electrical shock, or other injuries.
*To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity: - Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the microwave oven if paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking. - Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.
Electrical requirements Observe all governing codes and ordinances. A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp fused electrical supply is required. (A time-delay fuse is recommended.) It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
Getting to Know Your Microwave Oven This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows you the basics you need to know to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information before you use your oven Do not store microwave c Doing so cal HOW your microwi Microwave ovens are safe.
Microwaves pass through most glass, paper, and plastics without heating them so food absorbs the energy. Microwaves bounce off metal containers so food does not absorb the energy. Microwaves may not reach the center of a roast. The heat spreads to the center from the outer, cooked areas just as in regular oven cooking.
Radio interference Using your microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV, or similar equipment. When there is interference, you can reduce it or remove it by: l Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces of the oven. l Adjusting the receiving antenna of the radio or television.
For best results, stir any liquid several times before heating or reheating. Liquids heated in certain containers (especially containers shaped like cylinders) may become overheated. The liquid may splash out with a loud noise during or after heating or when adding ingredients (coffee granules, tea bags, etc.
Do not start a microwave oven when it is empty. Product life may be shortened. If you practice programming the oven, put a container of water in the oven. It is normal for the oven door to look wavy after the oven has been running for a while. Do not use newspaper or other printed paper in the oven.

Microwave cooking chart Times are approximate and may need to be adjusted to individual taste. NOTE: See “Using AUTO COOK” in the “Using Your Microwave Oven” section for instruc- tions on how to cook without entering cooking times or Cook Powers.
Microwave cooking tips Amount of food l If you increase or decrease the amount of food you prepare, the time it takes to cook that food will also change. For example, if you double a recipe, add a little more than half the original cooking time. Check for doneness and, if necessary, add more time in small increments.
Arranging food For best results, distribute food evenly on the plate. You can do this in several ways: l If you are cooking several items of the same food, such as baked potatoes, place them in a ring pattern for uniform cooking.
QUESTIONS Can I use a rack in my microwave oven so that I may reheat or cook on two levels at a time? ANSWERS You can only use a rack designed to be used with your microwave oven. Use of any rack not designed for the microwave oven can result in poor cooking petfor- mance and/or arcing.
