PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY:
a. Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open; an open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.
b. Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
c. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) door (bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces.
d. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel. -
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend to appliances when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing the bag in the oven.
c. If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off and disconnect the power cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
d. Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.
e. Avoid built-up grease, which is flammable, by cleaning the microwave with a damp cloth after use. DO NOT place inside of a dishwasher to clean. -
Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea, are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
-
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
f. Do not overheat the liquid.
g. Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
h. Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks. Use a wide-mouthed container.
i. After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven at least for 20 seconds before removing the container.
j. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.
k. If the oven light fails, consult an authorized service technician or electrician.
l. This appliance must be properly grounded. See Grounding Instructions for information on how to ground this appliance.
Instructions for the Electrical Cord and Plug
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD: Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.
- Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
- DO NOT remove the ground prong.
- DO NOT use an adapter.
- DO NOT use an extension cord.
This unit MUST be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for
the electric current. This unit 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. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plugin anyway. A short
power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled or tripping over a long cord.
The manufacturer does not recommend using this machine in countries that do
not support 120V AC even if a voltage adapter, transformer, or converter is in
use.

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the RETRO 0.7 CU FT MICROWAVE OVEN from Nostalgia™!
This microwave oven has the look and feel of a fabulous 1950s diner, but
offers the fast-cooking appeal of a modern appliance. It’s a fun and stylish
addition to any kitchen, and its compact size means there’s plenty of space
leftover on your countertop.
Features include:
- Powerful 700-watt oven with 0.7 cu. ft. capacity
- A glass carousel that helps cook food evenly
- Six power levels with a 30-minute timer
- Cooking settings & timers controlled by retro-styled turn dials
GROUNDING THE UNIT
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 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.
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.
NOTE: If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or service person. Nostalgia Electrics™ cannot accept any liability for damage to the 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 oven as feasible or check
position and signal of receiving antenna.

CHOOSING A LOCATION
You will use the oven frequently, so plan its location for ease of use. Allow
at least 2 inches on the sides, top, and at the rear of the oven for air
circulation. Do not place or install the oven in any area where heat and steam
are generated; for example, next to or above a conventional gas or electric
range or above a conventional wall oven. Heat and steam may damage the
electronics or the mechanical parts of the oven.
CONTROL PANEL

The timer is controlled by the retro-styled turn dial, which ranges from 0-to
30 minutes.
After you set the temperature, set the timer. Once that is set, the microwave
will start running.
6 POWER LEVELS
The six power levels are controlled by the retro-styled turn dial. The levels
include LOW, DEFROST, LOW MEDIUM, MEDIUM, MEDIUM HIGH, HIGH.
- HIGH: High Power; 100% microwave power. Applicable for quick and thorough cooking. Use for cooking foods such as meats and vegetables.

HELPFUL TIPS
CAROUSEL ROTATION
If the Glass Carousel inside of your microwave oven makes noise during cooking
or does not seem to be rotating properly, stop the cooking process immediately
by pressing the PAUSE/CANCEL button and make sure that:
A) The Glass Carousel is properly aligned on the Carousel Wheel and Hub.
B) There is no excess food or debris lodged underneath the Glass Carousel.
SPLATTERING
Some foods may splatter inside of the microwave when cooked in the microwave
oven. It is recommended that you use a paper towel, wax paper, or microwave-
safe lid to loosely cover open dishes that may splatter. It is not recommended
that you use plastic wrap to cover foods while cooking in the microwave oven.
FOODS
- Eggs: Cooking eggs with yolk intact can cause eggs to explode. It’s best to puncture yolks before cooking. Never cook eggs inside of the shell, or reheat whole, hardboiled eggs.
- Nuts: Do not cook dry nuts or seeds inside of the shell.
- Potatoes, apples, squash, hot dogs, and sausages: Puncture the skin to allow steam to escape, or these foods could explode during cooking
- Popcorn: Only use microwave popcorn that is specially packaged for microwave oven cooking. Follow the directions on the packaging exactly. Never exceed the maximum cooking time on packaging.
- Baby Food: Never heat baby food in its container. Transfer the baby food to a microwave-safe container before cooking. Check temperature before serving.
- General: NEVER use the microwave oven for deep fat frying or for drying wood, gourds, herbs, or wet paper.
