Kitchen Timer
The kitchen timer can be used as a simple timer in the kitchen. Touch the button, enter time, and then
touch the OK button.
Cooktop Light (High, Low and Off)
You can control light by touching button. Low setting may be used as a night light.
Turntable
The turntable may be turned off for manual cooking only. This is helpful when the plates are bigger than the
turntable, or when cooking with plates placed on side by side.
Vent Fan (High, Mid, Low and Off)
You can control light by touching button. The fan turns on automatically with low speed when the
microwave senses heat from the cooktop below. When this occurs, the vent fan cannot be turned off. It may
stay on for up to 1 hour to cool the microwave oven.
Note: The vent fan’s speed may decrease when the oven’s cooking function is activated.
Cookware
Recommended cooking utensils
• Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes - Use for heating or cooking.
• Microwavable plastic wrap - Use to cover. Leave a small opening for steam to escape and avoid placing
it directly on the food.
• Wax paper - Use as a cover to prevent spattering.
• Paper towels and napkins - Use for short-term heating and covering. They absorb excess moisture and
prevent spattering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and can catch re.
• Paper plates and cups - Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do not use recycled paper,
which may contain metal and can catch re.
• Thermometers - Use only those labeled “Microwave Safe” and follow all directions. Check the food in
several places. Conventional thermometers may be used once the food has been removed from the oven.
Limited use items
• Aluminum foil - Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Using too much foil
can damage your oven, so be careful.
• Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware - Use these if they are labeled “Microwave Safe”. If they are not
labeled, test them to make sure they can be used safely. Never use dishes with metallic trim.
• Plastic - Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe”. Other plastics can melt.
• Straw, wicker, and wood - Use only for short-term heating, as they are ammable.
Not recommended
• Glass jars and bottles - Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave and can shatter.
• Paper bags - These are a re hazard, except for popcorn bags that are designed for microwave use.
• Styrofoam plates and cups - These can melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food.
• Plastic storage and food containers - Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the microwave.
To Test If Cookware Is Microwave Safe
To Test Cookware/Dinnerware: Place dish on turntable with 1 cup (250 mL) of water beside it. Program
1 minute of microwave cook time at 100 %.
If dish becomes hot and the water stays cool, do not use the dish in the microwave oven.
