About Choosing A Location For
Your Oven On The Counter
You will use the oven frequently so plan its location for
ease of use. It is wise, if possible, to have counter space
on at least one side of the oven. Allow at least 2 inches
on the sides, top and at the rear of the oven for air
circulation.
About Choosing A Location For
Your Oven If Built-In
Your microwave oven can be built into a cabinet or wall
by itself or above certain Dacor wall ovens or warming
drawers using Dacor built-in kits: AMTK27S (stainless),
AMTK27B (black), AMTK30S (stainless), AMTK36S
(stainless), AOMTK27S (stainless), AOMTK27B (black),
AOMTK30S (stainless), AOMTK30B (black), AOMTK30G
(stone gray). Consult your Dacor dealer for compatibility.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
A WARNING
Improper. use eof the grounding plug can result I in a risk
Dm of electric shock. - A
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.
Permanent and Correct Installation
Electrical Requirements
3-Prong Plug
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 qualified electrician in-
stall a correct wall receptacle.

Tab for
Grounding Screw
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 qualified 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.
ES
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 influence 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 flat 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 finish 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 flakes 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®
e Heat-resistant glass (Pyrex®)
о Microwave-safe plastics
e Microwave-safe paper plates
°
Microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain
Browning dish (Do not exceed recommended preheat-
ing 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
E4
SES
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 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 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 ovenis 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, fish, 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 fires.
Use care when removing items from the oven so that
the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not touch
the safety door latches.

ES
Time Cooking
To Set Power Level
Your microwave oven can be programmed for 99 minutes
99 seconds (99.99). Always enter the seconds after the
minutes, even if they are both zeros.
For example, to cook for 5 minutes at 100%:
1. Enter the cooking time by touching the number
keys [5] [0] [0],
2. To cook at 100% power (High), touch the START key.
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.
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
or recipes for specific recommendations.
For example, to defrost for 5 minutes at 100%:
1. Enter the defrost time by touching the number
keys [5][o][o],
2. Touch the POWER LEVEL key 8 times or hold it down
until the desired power appears.
3. Touch the START key.

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 first 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.
Sensor Cooking Chart
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.
e Casserole lid.
e 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.

Your microwave oven can be programmed for up to 4
automatic cooking sequences, switching from one power
level setting to another automatically.
Sometimes cooking directions tell you to start on one
power level and then change to a different power level,
Your microwave oven can do this automatically.
1. First enter the cooking time. Then touch the POWER
LEVEL key once for 100% cooking or repeat touching
the POWER LEVEL key for a lower power level.
2. Enter the second cooking time. Touch the POWER
LEVEL key repeatedly for desired level. You can follow
this procedure up to 4 times.
3. Touch the START key.
NOTES:
e If 100% is selected as the final sequence, it is not
necessary to touch the POWER LEVEL key.
e If you wish to know the power level during cooking,
simply touch the POWER LEVEL key. As long as your
finger is touching the POWER LEVEL key, the power
level will be displayed.
* Keep Warm can be programmed even if 4 cooking
sequences have been set.
Start allows you to cook at 100% power by touching the
START key continuously. Start is ideal for melting cheese,
bringing milk to just below boiling, etc. The maximum
cooking time is 3 minutes.
1. Continuously touch the START key. The cooking time
will begin counting up.
2. When the cheese is melted to the desired degree,
remove your finger from the START key. The oven
stops immediately.
NOTES:
Note the time it takes for frequently used foods and
program that time in the future.
Touch the START key within 3 minutes after cooking,
opening and closing the door or touching the STOP/
CLEAR key.
e Start can only be used 3 times in a row. If more times
are needed, open and close door or touch the STOP/
CLEAR key.
Demonstration Mode
To demonstrate, touch TIMER/CLOCK, the number [0]
and then touch the START key and hold for 3 seconds.
DEMO ON DURING CEMO HO CVEN FONER will appear in the
display. Cooking operations and specific special features
can now be demonstrated with no power in the oven. For
example, touch the EASY MINUTE key and the display will
Show 1:88 and count down quickly to END.
To cancel, touch TIMER/CLOCK, then the number ©! and
STOP/CLEAR. If easier, unplug the oven from the electri-
cal outlet and replug.
E21
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or leave the door open to inactivate the microwave oven during
cleaning.
Control Panel
Turntable/ Turntable Support
Care should be taken in cleaning the control panel. If the
control panel becomes soiled, open the oven door before
cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly
with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or
use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close door and touch
STOP/CLEAR.
Door
The turntable and turntable support can be removed for
easy cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy water; for stub-
born stains use a mild cleanser and non abrasive scouring
sponge. They are also dishwasher-safe. Use the upper
rack of the dishwasher. The turntable motor shaft is not
sealed, so excess water or spills should be wiped up im-
mediately.
Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to
remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to
maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth.
Cleaners which are marked specifically for use with stain-
less steel may be used for the stainless steel model.
Follow package directions exactly. Avoid the use of any
harsh cleaners or one not marked for use with stainless
steel because they may stain, streak or dull the door
surface.
Other Interior Surfaces
Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to the
interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking, setting of
spills or spattering. To clean the interior surfaces, wipe
with a soft cloth and warm water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE
OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier
soil, use baking soda or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly
with hot water. NEVER SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS DIRECTLY
ONTO ANY PART OF THE OVEN.
Other Exterior Surfaces
Odor Removal
The outside surface is painted. Clean the outside with mild
soap and water; rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not
use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.
Waveguide Cover
The waveguide cover is made from mica so it requires
special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure
good oven performance. Carefully wipe with a damp cloth
any food spatters from the surface of the cover immedi-
ately after they occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and
cause smoke or possibly catch fire. Do not remove the
waveguide cover.
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the oven. To
remove, combine 1 cup water, grated peel and juice of 1
lemon and several whole cloves in a 2 cup glass measur-
ing cup. Boil for several minutes using 100% power. Allow
to set in oven until cool. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.
