This document is an Owner's Manual for a Microwave Oven, specifically model P70B17AL-D4. It provides comprehensive instructions for the safe installation, operation, and maintenance of the appliance.
The microwave oven is designed for heating, cooking, or drying food using microwave energy. It offers various cooking functions, including one-stage and two-stage cooking programs, speed defrost, cook by weight, and several quick cook settings for popular foods. The oven utilizes a turntable system to ensure uniform cooking.
The microwave oven features a control panel with a display that shows cooking time, power, indicators, and the present time. It includes number pads (0-9) for setting times or weights, a POWER pad for selecting power levels (1-9), and a TIMER function that operates independently, even during a cooking program.
For basic cooking, users can set a cooking time from one second up to 99 minutes and 99 seconds, with optional power level adjustments. The oven supports two-stage cooking, allowing for different temperatures at various stages of a recipe.
Defrosting options include SPEED DEFROST, which alternates defrost and stand times for quick and effective defrosting, and DEFROST BY WEIGHT, which programs defrosting based on the food's weight. For "Cook By Weight," the oven has pre-programmed codes for different types of meat (Beef, Mutton, Pork) and requires the user to input the weight in pounds and ounces. The manual provides a chart for converting fractions of a pound to ounces. During weight-based cooking or defrosting, the oven signals twice to prompt the user to turn the food over.
Quick Cook Settings offer instant cooking for popular foods like POPCORN, BAKED POTATO, PIZZA, BEVERAGE, FROZEN DINNER, and REHEAT. For most of these, a single touch of the pad initiates cooking for a standard portion, while a double touch allows for larger portions or multiple servings. For items like Baked Potato, Beverage, and Frozen Dinner, the user can specify the number of servings. The POPCORN setting automatically sets the cooking time for a 3.5 oz. bag, with an option to reset the time.
The oven also includes a CLOCK function to set and recall the time of day, and a RESET pad to clear all previous settings. A START/STOP pad is used to begin or pause cooking. For safety, a CHILD LOCK feature can be activated by pressing and holding RESET for 3 seconds, preventing unsupervised operation.
The manual emphasizes several cooking techniques to optimize results. Stirring foods like casseroles and vegetables helps distribute heat evenly, as the outside of the dish heats more quickly. Arranging unevenly shaped foods with thicker parts towards the outside of the turntable ensures more even microwave energy absorption. Shielding delicate areas or corners with narrow strips of aluminum foil prevents overcooking. Turning foods over midway through cooking is recommended for large items like roasts. Standing time after cooking allows internal heat to complete the cooking process, especially for cakes, whole vegetables, and roasts. Liquids should be stirred or shaken after cooking and allowed to stand to prevent sudden boiling over. Adding a small amount of water to dry food can aid in cooking.
The manual also provides a UTENSILS GUIDE, categorizing utensils as recommended, limited use, or not recommended for microwave use. Recommended items include microwave browning dishes, microwaveable plastic wrap, paper towels and napkins, glass and glass-ceramic bowls, and paper plates and cups. Limited use items include aluminum foil (in narrow strips), ceramic, porcelain, stoneware (if labeled microwave safe), plastic (if labeled microwave safe), straw, wicker, and wood. Not recommended items include glass jars and bottles, paper bags (except popcorn bags), Styrofoam plates and cups, plastic storage and food containers (like margarine tubs), and metal utensils.
The manual provides detailed instructions for cleaning and care to ensure the longevity and proper functioning of the microwave oven. Users are advised to turn off the oven and unplug it before cleaning.
The interior of the oven should be kept clean by wiping food splatters or spilled liquids with a damp cloth. Mild detergent can be used for stubborn dirt, but abrasive soaps, sprays, or harsh cleaners should be avoided as they can stain, streak, or dull the door surface. Water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings to prevent damage to internal operating parts.
The outside surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth. The window should be wiped on both sides to remove spills. The control panel should be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth, and the oven door should be left open during cleaning to prevent accidental activation.
Accumulated steam inside or around the oven door is normal under high humidity conditions and should be wiped with a soft cloth. The glass tray should be removed and washed in warm, sudsy water or a dishwasher. The roller ring and oven floor require regular cleaning with mild detergent to prevent excessive noise. When replacing the roller ring, it must be positioned correctly.
To remove odors, a cup of water with lemon juice and skin can be microwaved for 5 minutes, followed by thorough wiping and drying with a soft cloth. For oven light replacement, users are directed to consult a dealer.
The manual also includes important safety instructions, emphasizing precautions to avoid exposure to excessive microwave energy, proper grounding, and the importance of not operating a damaged oven. It advises against attempting to operate the oven with an open door or tampering with safety interlocks.
