MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS 11 Microwave Cooking Tips Amount of Food Releasing Pressure in Foods •• If you increase or decrease the amount of food 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. •• Several foods (for example: baked potatoes, sausages, egg yolks, and some fruits) are tightly covered by a skin or membrane.
MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS Using Aluminum Foil Removing the Rack Metal containers should not be used in a microwave oven. However, 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.
MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS 13 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.
MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS Cookware Guide Convection Cooking •• Metal pans are recommended for all types of baked products, but especially where browning or crusting is important. Microwave Cooking Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe for use in the microwave oven. •• Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and pies because they absorb heat and produce a crisper crust. Testing Cookware Before Using 1 Place the empty cookware in the microwave oven.
MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS 15 How to use Accessories : Possible to use : Recommended method Glass Tray Metal Tray Microwave Convection Rack Convection NOTE •• Never operate the oven while empty except to preheat in convection mode. •• NEVER operate the microwave mode while the oven is empty.
OPERATION OPERATION Using the Microwave Oven This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking and introduces you to the basics you need to know to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information before using your oven. CAUTION To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage, do not use stoneware, metal utensils, or metal trimmed utensils in the oven.

NOTE •• This option is not available in sensor cook and defrost modes. •• When the cook time is over a melody sounds and COOK END displays.
OPERATION 19 Cooking at Lower Power Levels Cooking with More than One Cook Cycle HIGH power cooking does not always give the best results with foods that need slower cooking, such as roasts, baked goods, or custards. The oven has 10 power settings in addition to HIGH. For best results, some recipes call for one power level for a certain length of time, and another power level for another length of time.
OPERATION Cooking Guide for Lower Power Levels The nine power levels in addition to HIGH provide a choice of the best level for the food being cooked. Below are listed all the power levels. Power Level Microwave Output Use 100 100% •• Quick heating many convenience foods and foods with high water content, such as soups and beverages.
OPERATION 21 Sensor Operating Instructions Sensor Cook cooks 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 tells the oven how much longer to heat. The display shows the remaining heating time. For best results when sensor cooking, follow these recommendations.
OPERATION Sensor Reheat Table Category Direction Amount Dinner Plate Place on a low plate. Cover with vented plastic wrap. Let stand 3 minutes after cooking. 1 to 2 servings Soup/Sauce Place in shallow microwavable casserole. Cover with vented plastic wrap. After cooking, stir and let stand 3 minutes. 1 - 4 cups Casserole Place in a microwavable bowl or casserole. Cover with vented plastic wrap. After cooking, stir and let stand 3 minutes.
OPERATION 23 Tips for Convection Cooking This section provides cooking instructions and procedures for each convection function. Convection cooking circulates hot air through the oven cavity with a fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the food to heat the outer portion quickly, creating even browning and sealed-in flavor through the constant motion of hot air over the food surfaces. To use convection cooking, turn the dial to select the Convection or Combination modes.
OPERATION Convection Example: To set for convection cooking at 375°F for 30 minutes without preheating. 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. 1 Touch MANUAL COOK. 2 Turn the dial to select CONVECTION. Touch START or press the dial to enter. 3 Turn the dial to set the temperature (375°F).
OPERATION 25 Tips for Combination Cooking This section provides instructions for each combination cooking function. Combination microwave-convection cooking shortens the cooking time for foods that normally need a long time to cook. It also leaves meat juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. In combination cooking, the convection heat and microwave energy alternate automatically. The oven has three preprogrammed settings that make it easy to use combination cooking.
OPERATION Auto Cook Example: To cook bacon 2 slices. Use Auto Cook to heat common microwave-prepared foods without selecting cooking times and power levels. Auto Cook has preset programs for 6 food functions. 1 Touch AUTO COOK. 2 Turn the dial to select AUTO COOK. Touch START or press the dial to enter. 3 Turn the dial to select BACON. Touch START or press the dial to enter. 4 Turn the dial to select 2 SLICES. 5 Touch START or press the dial to enter.

Defrosting Tips •• The length of defrosting time varies according to how solidly the food is frozen.
Cooking Guide 33 Cooking Guide 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.
