Genuine Toshiba owner's manual. Couldn't really ask for more. And written in understandable English in contrast to a few recent experiences I have had with manuals for other equipment other than Toshiba but made in China and written in "Chinglish"!
I purchased a vintage Sony mixer off eBay and within the hour was able to locate and purchase the manual for it.I mean really,where else can you find a manual for a product made in 1983!? It was easy to find and purchase/download the manual I needed.I will use this site again for other equipment I have! Great site!
It`s full copy of a service manual from url http://www.philips.owner-manuals.com/PM3216-service-manual-PHILIPS.html

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
QUESTIONS Can I operate my microwave oven without the turntable or turn the turntable over to hold a large dish? Can I use a rack in my microwave oven so that I may reheat or cook on two levels at a time? ANSWERS No. If you remove or turn over the turntable, you will get poor cooking results. Dishes used in your oven must fit on the turntable. You can use a rack only if the rack is supplied with your microwave oven. If you use a rack not supplied with the microwave oven, you can get poor cooking performance and/or arcing. You can use aluminum foil for shielding (use small, flat pieces), small skewers, and shallow foil trays (if tray is not taller than 3�4 inch [1.9 cm] deep and half filled with food to absorb microwave energy). Never allow metal to touch walls or door. Is it normal for the turntable to turn in either direction? Sometimes the door of my microwave oven appears wavy. Is this normal? What are the humming noises that I hear when my microwave oven is operating? Why does the dish become hot when I microwave food in it? I thought that this should not happen. What does �standing time� mean? Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on the rotation of the motor when the cooking cycle begins. This appearance is normal and does not affect the operation of your oven. You may hear the sound of the transformer when the magnetron tube cycles on. As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to the dish. Be prepared to use hot pads to remove food after cooking. �Standing time� means that food should be removed from the oven and covered for additional time to allow it to finish cooking. This frees the oven for other cooking. Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam out the vents. Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufacturer�s guidelines or use the preset SENSOR POPCORN button. Do not use regular paper bags. Use the �listening test� by stopping the oven as soon as the popping slows to a �pop� every 1 or 2 seconds. Do not repop unpopped kernels. Do not pop popcorn in glass cookware. Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my microwave oven?
Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?
Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven? How do I get the best results?
