provided with your browning dish.

• Microwavable plastic wrap -- Use to retain steam. Leave a small

opening for some steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on the food.

Wax paper i 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 fire.

Paper plates and cups -- Use for short-term heating at low

temperatures. Do not use recycled paper, which may contain metal and can catch fire.

Thermometers i 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

• 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 i Use only if labeled "Microwave Safe". Other plastics can melt.

• Straw, wicker, and wood i Use only for short-term heating, as

they can be flammable.

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 fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that are designed for microwave use.

• Styrofoam plates and cups i These can melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food.

• Plastic storage and food containers i Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the microwave.

Cooking Instructions

Auto Sensor Cook

The Auto Sensor allows you to cook your food automatically by detect- ing the amount of moisture generated from the food while cooking.

• When cooking food, many kinds of moisture are generated. The Auto Sensor determines the proper time and power level by detecting the

moisture from the food, eliminating the need to set the cooking time

and power level.

• When you cover a container with its lid or plastic wrap during Sensor Cooking, the Auto Sensor will detect the moisture generated after

the container has been saturated with steam.

• Shortly before cooking ends, the remaining cooking time will begin

its count down. This will be a good time for you to rotate or stir the

food for even cooking if it is necessary.

• Before auto sensor cooking food may be seasoned with herbs, spices or browning sauces. A word of caution though, salt or sugar

may cause burn spots on food so these ingredients should be added

after cooking.

• The More/Less function pad is used to increase or decrease cooking time. You should use this function to adjust the degree of cooking to suit your personal taste.

Utensils & Cover For Sensor Cooking

To obtain good cooking results with this function, follow the directions for selecting appropriate containers and covers in the

charts in this book. Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with their lids

or with plastic wrap. When using plastic wrap, turn back one corner to allow steam to escape at the proper rate.

Always cover with the lid intended for the utensil being used. Ifthe

utensil does not have its own lid, use plastic wrap. Fill containers at least half full.

Foods that require stirring or rotating should be stirred or turned toward the end of the Sensor Cook cycle, after the time has started to count down on the display.

Important

• After installing the oven and plugging into an electrical outlet, do not unplug the power cord. The moisture sensor needs time to stabilize

in order to cook satisfactorily.

• It is not advisable to use the auto sensor cooking feature on a

continuous cooking operation, i.e. one cooking operation

immediately after another.

• Install the oven in a well ventilated location for proper cooling and airflow and to ensure the sensor will operate accurately.

• To avoid poor results, do not use the Auto sensor when the room ambient temperature is too high or too low.

• Do not use volatile detergent to clean your oven. Gas resulting from

this detergent may affect the sensor.

• Avoid placing the oven near high moisture or gas emitting appliances, since this will interfere with the proper performance of

the Auto Sensor.

Always keep the inside of the oven clean. Wipe all spills with a damp

cloth. This oven is designed for household use only.

Cooking Instructions

Cooking Techniques Stirring

Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and heats more quickly, so stir from the outside to the center. The oven will turn off when you open the door to stir your food.

Arrangement

Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with o the thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable where they receive more microwave energy. To prevent overcooking, place thin or delicate parts toward the center of the turntable.

Shielding

Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Areas that need shielding include poultry wing-tips, the ends of poultry legs, and corners of square baking dishes. Use only small amounts of aluminum foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven.

Turning

Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to micro- wave energy. This is especially important with large items such as

roasts.

Standing

Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue to cook for a few minutes after the oven stops. Let foods stand to complete cooking, especially foods such as roasts and whole vegetables. Roasts need this time to complete cooking in the center without overcooking the outer areas. All liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken or stirred when cooking is complete. Let liquids stand a moment before serving. When heating baby food, stir well and test the temperature before serving.

Adding Moisture

Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture content should be covered or allowed to stand so that the

heat disperses evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food to help it cook.

General Tips

• Dense foods, such as potatoes, take longer to heat than lighter

foods. Foods with a delicate texture should be heated at a low power

level to avoid becoming tough.

• Altitude and the type of cookware you are using can affect cooking

time. When using a new recipe, use the minimum cooking time and check the food occasionally to prevent overcooking.

• Foods with a non-porous skin such as potatoes or hot dogs, should be pierced to prevent bursting.

• Frying with heating oil or fat is not recommended. Fat and oil can

suddenly boil over and cause severe burns.

• Some ingredients heat faster than others. For example, the jelly inside a jelly doughnut will be hotter than the dough. Keep this in

mind to avoid burns.

• Home canning in the microwave oven is not recommended because all harmful bacteria may not be destroyed by the microwave heating

process.

• Although microwaves do not heat the cookware, the heat is often

transferred to the cookware. Always use pot holders when removing

food from the microwave and instruct children to do the same.

Making candy in the microwave is not recommended as candy can heat to very high temperatures. Keep this in mind to avoid injury.

After each stage, rearrange the food. If

there are any warm or thawed portions of food, shield them with narrow flat pieces

of aluminum foil. Remove any pieces of

food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand,

covered, for 5-10 minutes. After each stage, remove any pieces of

food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand,

covered with foil, for 5-10 minutes.

Start defrosting with the breast side down. After the first stage, turn the chicken over and shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum

foil After the second stage, again shield

any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. Let stand, covered, for 30-

60 minutes in the refrigerator.

After each stage, rearrange or remove any pieces of food that are nearly

defrosted. Let stand for 10-20 minutes.

Notes:

Check foods when the oven signals. After the final stage, small sections

may still be icy; let them stand to continue thawing. Do not defrost until

all ice crystals have thawed. Shielding roasts and steaks with small pieces of foil prevents the edges from cooking before the center of the food has defrosted. Use narrow, flat, smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover the edges and thinner sections of the food.

Guide for Cooking Eggs in Your Microwave

• Never cook eggs in the shell, and never warm hard-cooked eggs in the shell; they can explode.

• Always pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting.

• Cook eggs just until set; they become tough if overcooked.

Guide for Cooking Vegetables in Your Microwave

• Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Often, no extra water is needed. If dense vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and

green beans are being cooked, add about 14cup water.

• Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook faster than larger ones.

• Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the turntable before cooking. They will cook more evenly if turned over after half the cooking time.

• Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli with the stem

ends pointing towards the edge of the dish and the tips toward the

center.

• • When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap.

• Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skin pricked in several spots before cooking to

prevent them from bursting.

• For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway

through the cooking time.

• Generally, the denser the food, the longer the standing time. (Standing time refers to the time necessary for dense, large foods and vegetables to finish cooking after they come out of the oven.) A baked potato can stand on the counter for five minutes before

• cooking is completed, while a dish of peas can be served immediately.

Troubleshooting Guide

Before you call a repair person for your oven, check this list of possible problems and solutions.

Neither the oven's display nor the oven operate.

• Properly insert the plug into a grounded outlet.

• If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch, make sure the wall switch is turned on.

• Remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten seconds, then plug it in

again, o

• Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuse.

• Plug another appliance into the outlet; if the other appliance doesn't

work, have a qualified electrician repair the outlet.

• Plug the oven into a different outlet.

The oven's display works, but the power won't come

on.

• Make sure the door is closed securely.

• Check to see if packing material or other material is stuck to the door

seal.

• Check for door damage.

• Press Cancel twice and re-enter all cooking instructions.

The power goes off before the set time has elapsed.

• If there has not been a power outage, remove the plug from the

outlet, wait ten seconds, then plug it in again. If there was a power outage, the time indicator will display" ENJOY YOUR COOKING - - -

PRESS MY CHOICE FOR PERSONAL OPTIONS" Reset the clock

and any cooking instructions.

• Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuse.

The food is cooking too slowly.

• Make sure the oven is on its own 20 amp circuit line. Operating

another appliance on the same circuit can cause a voltage drop. If •

necessary, move the oven to its own circuit.

You see sparks or arcing.

• Remove any metallic utensils, cookware, or metal ties. If using foil, use only narrow strips and allow at least one inch between the foil

and interior oven walls.

The turntable makes noises or sticks.

• Clean the turntable, roller ring and oven floor.

• Make sure the turntable and roller ring are positioned correctly.

Using your microwave causes TV or radio interference.

• This is similar to the interference caused by other small appliances, such as hair dryers. Move your microwave further away from other

appliances, like your TV or radio.

Care and Cleaning

Follow these instructions to clean and care for your oven.

• Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids can stick to the oven walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently.

• Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not

use harsh detergents or abrasives.

• To help loosen baked on food particles or liquids, heat two cups of water (add the juice of one lemon if you desire to keep the oven fresh) in a four-cup measuring glass at High power for five minutes

or until boiling. Let stand inthe oven for one or two minutes.

• Remove the glass tray from the oven when cleaning the oven or tray. To prevent the tray from breaking, handle it carefully and do not put it

in water immediately after cooking. Wash the tray carefully in warm

sudsy water or in the dishwasher.

• Clean the outside surface of the oven with soap and a damp cloth.

Dry with a soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts of the oven, don't let water seep into the openings.

• Wash the door window with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use

a soft cloth to avoid scratching.

• If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accumulate when operating the oven in high

humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage.

• Never operate the oven without food in it; this can damage the

magnetron tube or glass tray. You may wish to leave a cup of water in the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is accidentally turned on.
