These items may explode.
GROUNDING Please read this owner's manual. It will tell you how to use all the fine features of this microwave oven. LOCATION This appliance must be grounded. If an electrical short circuit occurs, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. The cord for this appliance has a grounding wire with a grounding plug. Put the plug into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

CLOCK: Touch this pad to enter the time of day.
Amount of food Releasing pressure in foods • If you increase or decrease the amount ef feed 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. Starting temperature • Several foods (for example: baked potatoes, sausages, egg yolks, and some fruits) are tightly covered by a skin or membrane.
Using aluminum foil Removing Metal containers should not be used in a microwave oven. There are, however, some exceptions. If you have purchased food which is prepackaged in an aluminum foil container, refer to the instructions on the package. When using aluminum foil containers, cooking times may be longer because microwaves will only penetrate the exposed top of the food and not the bottom or the sides.
Cooking Comparison Guide Cooking with your new oven offers a wide variety of food preparation options: microwave cooking, convection cooking, and combination cooking. Microwave cooking uses very short, high-frequency radio waves. The movement of the microwaves through the food generates heat and cooks most foods faster than regular methods, while retaining their natural texture and moisture. Microwave cooking heats food directly, not the cookware or the interior of the oven.
COOKWARE GUIDE Microwave Cooking Most heat-resistant, use in your microwave • Glass or glass-ceramic baking containers are recommended. Be sure not to use items with metal trim as it may cause arcing (sparking) with oven wall or oven shelf, damaging the cookware, the shelf, or the oven. • Heat-resistant plastic microwave cookware (safe to 450°F) may be used, but is not recommended for foods that require crusting or all-around browning, because plastic is a poor conductor of heat.

SENSOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS SENSOR Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your favorite foods without selecting cooking times and power levels• The oven automatically determines required cooking time for each food item. When the internal sensor detects a certain amount of humidity coming from the food, it will tell the oven how much longer to heat. The display will show the remaining heating time.

TIPS FOR CONVECTION COOKING This section gives you cooking instructions and procedures for operating each convection function. 10. Use metal utensils only for convection cooking. Never use for microwave or combination cooking since arcing and damage to the oven may occur. Please read these instructions carefully. 11. After preheating, if you do not open the door, the oven will automatically hold at the preheated temperature for 30 minutes.
CONVECTION During convection cooking, a heating element is used to raise the temperature of the air inside the oven. Convection cooking temperature ranges from 100°F to 450°F. It is best to preheat the oven when convection cooking. Note: Lower oven temperature by 25°F from package recommended temperature, instructions. The baking time may vary according to the food condition or individual preference. @ CONV. 7 2. Touch CONV. 5 3 3. Touch 5. 5 0 0 32E'_ 45D'F 450F 0 450F 0 450F 0 450F 5.
TIPS FOR COMBINATION COOKING COM BINATION This section gives you instructions to operate each combination cooking function. Please read these instructions carefully. Sometimes combination microwave-convection cooking is suggested to get the best cooking results since it shortens the cooking time for foods that normally need a long time to cook. This cooking process also leaves meats juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside.
SPEED AUTO COMBINATION This oven can cook food without entering cooking time or power level on combination mode. SPEED AUTO COMBINATION has 4 food categories. See the SPEED AUTO COMBINATION CHART on this page for the settings available. For best results, place food on the rack. When cooking meats, use the metal tray/drip pan to catch drippings. ____ 1.

CONVECTION BAKING GUIDELINES 1. Always use the metal rack when convection baking. Place food directly on rack or place in metal tray and then place tray on rack. 2. Aluminum pans conduct heat quickly. For most convection baking, light, shiny finishes give best results because they prevent overbrowning in the time it takes to cook the center areas. Pans with dull (satin-finish) bottoms are recommended for cake pans and pie pans for best bottom browning.

HEATING / REHEATING GUIDE To heat or reheat successfully in a microwave oven, it is important to follow several guidelines. Measure the amount of food in order to determine the time needed to reheat. Arrange the food in a circular pattern for best results. Room temperature food will heat faster than refrigerated food. Canned foods should be taken out of the can and placed in a microwave-safe container. The food will heat more evenly if covered with a microwave-safe lid or vented plastic wrap.

CARING FOR YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN To make sure your microwave oven looks good and works well for a long time, you should maintain it properly. For proper care, please follow these instructions carefully. For interior surfaces: Wash often with warm, sudsy water and a sponge or soft cloth. Use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or a mild detergent. Be sure to keep the areas clean where the door and oven frame touch when closed. Wipe well with clean cloth.
CLEANING FILTERS THE GREASE CHARCOAL FILTER REPLACEMENT If your oven is vented inside, the charcoal filter should be replaced every 6 to 12 months, and more often if necessary. The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. To order a new charcoal filter, contact the Parts Department at your nearest Authorized Service Center. 1. Unplug the microwave oven. 2. Remove the two vent grille mounting screws. 3, Soak grease filters in hot water and a mild detergent. Scrub and swish to remove embedded dirt and grease.

MICROWAVE UTENSIL GUIDE USE OVENPROOF GLASS DO NOT USE METAL UTENSILS: (treated for high intensity heat): utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and bowls without metallic trim. Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces uneven cooking. Also avoid metal skewers, thermometers, or foil trays. Metal utensils can cause arcing, which can damage your microwave oven. CHINA: bowls, cups, serving plates, and platters without metallic trim.
BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE Check the following list to be sure a service call is really necessary. A quick reference of this manual as well as reviewing additional information on items to check may prevent an unneeded service call. If nothing on the oven operates: • check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. • check if oven is properly connected to electric circuit in house. • check that controls are set properly.
