flammables or nonfood products in or near this appliance. It is specifically designed for use when heating or cooking food. The use of corrosive chemicals in heating or cleaning will damage the appliance and could result in injury.

▯ Do not dry clothes, newspapers or other

materials in the oven. Do not use newspapers or paper bags for cooking. Fire could result.

▯ Do not use recycled paper products unless

labeled safe for microwave use. They may contain impurities which may cause sparks and result in fires when used.

▯ Always use potholders when removing items from

the oven. The cooking container and the glass tray can be hot even if the oven is cool.

▯ Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation

system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off.

▯ Do not mount over sink. ▯ Do not store anything directly on top of the

appliance surface when the appliance is in operation.

▯ Oversized food or oversized metal utensils

should not be inserted in a microwave oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.

▯ Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces

can break off the pad and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric shock.

▯ Do not store any materials, other than

manufacturer’s recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.

▯ Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven

with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.

▯ Do not use paper products when appliance is

operated in the toaster mode

In Case of Fire

If materials inside an oven should ignite:

Keep door closed

Turn appliance off

Unplug the appliance or shut off at fuse or circuit breaker

Liquids

Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea could be overheated. They can be heated beyond the boiling point without appearing to boil. For example, visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

When heating liquids, always place a glass rod/spoon in the container. This will prevent delayed boiling.

CAUTION

Metal e.g. a spoon in a glass must be kept at least 1 inch (25 mm) from the oven walls and the inside of the door. Sparks could irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the door.

▯ Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat

up more quickly and evenly in microwaveable ovenware. The different components of the meal may not require the same amount of time to heat up.

▯ Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable

cover for your container, use a plate or special microwave foil.

6 SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

▯ Stir or turn the food several times during cooking.

Check the temperature.

▯ After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to

5 minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.

▯ Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when

removing plates from the oven.

Cooking Items

Eggs: Do not cook or reheat whole eggs, with or without

shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to explode, and possibly damage the oven or cause injury. Reheating sliced hard-boiled eggs and cooking scrambled eggs is safe.

Popcorn: Use only popcorn in packages designed and labeled for microwave use, or pop it in a microwave oven corn popper. Follow popcorn manufacturers’ directions and use a brand suitable for the wattage of your oven. Do not continue to heat after popping has stopped. Popcorn will scorch or burn. Do not leave oven unattended.

CAUTION

When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, check package weight before using the popcorn function. Set the oven for the weight of the popcorn package. If these instructions are not followed, popcorn may not pop adequately or may ignite and cause fire.

Foods with nonporous skins: Potatoes, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, apples, whole squash and sausages are examples of foods with nonporous skins. These types of foods must be pierced before cooking to prevent them from exploding.

Baby food / Baby formula: Do not heat baby bottles or food in microwave oven. The glass jar or the surface of food may appear warm while the interior can burn the infant’s mouth and esophagus.

Deep fat frying: Do not deep fat fry in oven. Oil can be heated beyond ideal temperatures very quickly in a microwave oven. Temperatures can climb high enough for the cooking oils to reach their respective flash points and burst into flames. The heated oil may bubble and spatter causing possible damage to the oven and perhaps result in burns. Additionally, microwave–safe utensils may not be able to withstand the temperature of the hot oil, and could result in the utensil shattering, if it contains a slight imperfection, scratch or chip.

Home Canning / Drying foods / Small quantities of foods: Do not use microwave oven for home canning or

heating of any closed jar. Pressure will build up and the jar may explode. In addition, the oven cannot maintain the food at the proper canning temperature. Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume. Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture content can dry out, burn or catch on fire. Do not dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in your oven. Proper cooking depends on time set and weight of food.

If you use a smaller portion than recommended and cook at the time for the recommended portion, fire could result.

Browning dishes: Microwave browning dishes or grills are designed for microwave cooking only. Preheating times vary depending on the size of the browning dish and food being cooked. Always follow instructions provided by the browning dish or grill manufacturer. Do not preheat browning dishes more than 6 minutes.

Oven roasting bags: If an oven bag is used for microwave cooking, prepare according to package directions. Do not use wire twist–ties to close bags, instead use nylon ties, cotton string or a strip cut from the open end of the bag. Make six ½" (12.7 mm) slits by closure. Place oven cooking bag in a dish slightly larger than the food being cooked.

Cooking Utensils

See also Microwave Utensil Guide. Cooking utensils, the ceramic tray and racks get hot

during microwaving. Always use potholders when removing items from the oven. Allow the ceramic tray and the metal racks (if used) to cool before handling.

Do not use metal utensils, or dishes with metallic trim in the oven.

When using aluminum foil in the oven, allow at least 1 inch (25 mm) of space between foil and interior oven walls or door.

The ceramic tray and the metal racks (if used) will get hot during cooking. The cooking container and the ceramic tray can be hot even if the oven is cool.

Never use paper, plastic, or other combustible materials that are not intended for cooking.

When cooking with paper, plastic, or other combustible materials, follow manufacturer’s recommendations on product use. Do not use paper towels which contain nylon or synthetic fibers. Heated synthetics could melt and cause paper to ignite.

Do not heat sealed containers or plastic bags in oven. Food or liquid could expand quickly and cause container or bag to break. Pierce or open container or bag before cooking.

Metal Tray Turntable

Do not operate the oven without the metal tray turntable in place.

Verify that the metal tray turntable is properly positioned and turning when the oven is in use. Improper cooking or damage to the oven could result.

Only use the metal tray turntable designed for this oven. Do not substitute any other tray.

Always replace the metal tray in its proper position.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. 7

8 SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Causes of Damage

NOTICES:

▯ Metal  e.g. a spoon in a glass  must be kept at least

1 inch (25 mm) from the oven walls and the inside of the door. Sparks could irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the door.

▯ Water in the hot oven interior: Never pour water into

the hot oven interior. Steam is produced. Damage to the enamel can arise due to the temperature change.

▯ Do not leave moist groceries in a closed oven for an

extended period of time. It can lead to corrosion inside the oven.

▯ Fruit juice can leave stains in the oven. Always remove

fruit juice immediately when safe to touch, and wipe up first with a damp and then a dry cloth.

▯ Cooling with the appliance door open: only allow the

oven cavity to cool when it is closed. Even if the appliance door is only open a little, front panels of adjacent units could be damaged over time.

▯ Highly soiled door seal: the appliance door will no

longer close properly during operation if the door seal is highly soiled. Adjoining furniture fronts may be damaged. Always keep the door seal clean.

▯ Appliance door as a seat or storage surface: do not

stand, sit or hang on the appliance door. Do not place any cookware or accessories on the appliance door.

▯ Inserting accessories: depending on the appliance

type, accessories can scratch the door pane when closing the appliance door. Always slide accessories fully into the oven interior.

▯ Do not hold or carry the appliance by the door handle.

The door handle cannot carry the weight of the device and could break off, or the hinges can be damaged.

▯ Operating the microwave without food in the oven

cavity may lead to overloading. Never run the microwave unless there is food in the oven cavity. An exception to this rule is a short ovenware test, see section ~ "Microwave utensil guide", or a Speed Chef mode that needs pre-heating.

▯ Always set the microwave power as recommended for

the food. High power settings can overheat foods very quickly.

▯ The turntable may jump if overloaded.

Protecting the environment

Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging in an environmentally friendly manner.

Tips for saving energy

▯ Open the appliance door as little as possible while

cooking, baking or roasting.

▯ Use dark, black-painted or enameled baking forms.

These absorb the heat particularly well.

▯ It is best to bake several cakes in succession. The

oven is still warm. This shortens the baking time for the second cake. You can also slide in two loaf tins next to each other.

Microwave

Microwave utensil guide

Suitable ovenware

▯ Heat-resistant glass, glass ceramic and

earthenware:

Utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and bowls without metallic trim (e.g. Pyrex Ware®, Emile Henry, etc.).

▯ China:

Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters without metallic trim.

▯ Plastic films and wraps:

Plastic wrap (as a cover) - lay the plastic wrap loosely over the dish and press it to the sides. Vent plastic wrap by turning back one edge slightly to allow excess steam to escape. The dish should be deep enough so that the plastic wrap will not touch the food.

▯ Microwave-safe plastics:

Microwave-safe plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer containers and plastic bags for short cooking times. Use these with care because the plastic may soften from the heat of the food.

▯ Paper products:

Paper towels, wax paper, parchment paper, paper napkins and paper plates with no metallic trim or design. Look for the manufacturers label for any special instructions for use in the microwave oven.

Unsuitable ovenware

▯ Metal utensils and cookware:

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.

▯ Metal decoration:

Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters with metallic trim.

▯ Aluminum foil:

Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking and may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch (25 mm) from the side walls of the oven cavity and door of the microwave.

▯ Wood:

Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when you use them in the microwave oven. Baskets made of wood will react in the same way.

▯ Tightly covered cookware:

Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered cookware. Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before cooking. Tightly closed pouches may explode.

, Anchor Hocking™, Corning

▯ Brown paper:

Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb heat and can burn.

▯ Flawed or chipped cooking utensils:

Any utensil that is cracked, flawed or chipped may break in the oven.

▯ Metal twist ties:

Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags. They become hot and could cause a fire.

Ovenware test

Do not turn on the microwave unless there is food inside. The following ovenware test is the only exception to this rule.

Perform the following test if you are unsure whether your ovenware is suitable for use in the microwave:

Heat the empty ovenware at maximum power for ½ to 1 minute.

Check the temperature occasionally during that time.

The ovenware should still be cold or warm to the touch. The ovenware is unsuitable if it becomes hot or if sparks

are generated.

Microwave power levels

You can select from 10 different microwave power levels. If you do not set a power level, the microwave will automatically operate at the highest power level 10.

Suggestions for best results

To help you achieve the best possible results from your microwave oven, read the following suggestions below:

▯ Storage temperature

Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook.

▯ Size

Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones. Pieces similar in size and shape will cook more evenly when cooked together. For more even results, reduce the power levels when cooking large pieces of food.

▯ Natural moisture

Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave energy heats water molecules very efficiently.

▯ Stirring

Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables from the outside to the center to distribute the heat more evenly. This will allow the food to cook faster. (Constant stirring is not necessary.)

▯ Turning

Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts or whole cauliflower halfway through the cook time. This will help to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.

▯ Placing food

Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the turntable tray.

▯ Arranging food

Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable tray.

▯ Letting food stand

After removing the food from the microwave, cover the food with foil or a casserole lid and let it stand to finish cooking. This will help the food finish cooking in the

Convection

center and avoids overcooking the outer edges. The length of stand time depends on the density and surface area of the food items.

▯ Wrapping foods

Sandwiches and many other food types containing pre-baked bread should be wrapped in paper towels or wax paper prior to placing in the microwave to help prevent the food items from drying out while heating.

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 by the constant motion of hot air over the food surfaces.

You can set a temperature range from 200 to 450° F (100 to 230°C).

Notes

▯ Use the Speed Chef mode for cooking with microwave

and conventional heat combined. You can not combine these two modes manually.

▯ For best cooking results always use the wire rack with

Convection mode.

9 CAUTION

The oven door and exterior and the wire rack will become hot during Convection. Always use oven mits.

Cookware tips for Convection

▯ Metal Pans:

Recommended for all types of baked products, especially where browning is important.

Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and pies because they absorb heat and produce crisper crust.

Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies or muffins because they reflect heat and help produce a light tender crust.

▯ Glass or glass-ceramic casseroles or baking dishes:

Best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to the cleanability of glass.

Note: Always use the convection rack when using the Convection mode.

Setting Convection mode

Tips for defrosting

9 WARNING

HEALTH RISK Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat or

poultry. Drain off this liquid when turning meat and poultry, and under no circumstances, use it for other purposes, or allow it to come into contact with other foods.

▯ Always enter the weight in lbs when using the defrost

by weight feature (0.1 to 6.0 lbs).

▯ Use the defrost mode for raw food items only. ▯ Defrosting gives best results when food to be thawed

is a minimum of 0° F (taken directly from a freezer). If the food has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a temperature of 5° F or below, always program a lower food weight or lower cook time to prevent cooking the food.

▯ If the frozen food is stored outside the freezer for up to

20 minutes, enter a reduced cook time or weight.

▯ The shape of the package will alter the defrosting time.

Shallow rectangular food packets defrost more quickly than a deep frozen block of food.

▯ Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated

frozen pieces of food defrost better.

▯ Shield warm areas of food with small pieces of

aluminum foil, if they start to heat up. Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield food items

like chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails. Do not allow aluminum foil to touch the oven cavity

when defrosting.

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 yolk on whole eggs to keep them from

bursting.

▯ Cook eggs just until set; they will become tough if

overcooked.

▯ Cooking scrambled eggs is safe.

Cooking vegetables in your microwave

▯ Vegetables should be washed just before cooking.

Rarely is extra water needed. If dense vegetables such as potatoes or carrots are being cooked, add about ¼ cup of water.

▯ Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans,

etc.) will cook faster than larger vegetables.

Cooking seafood in your microwave

Be sure to place fish on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish. Be sure to always cook fish until it flakes easily with a fork. Use a tight cover to steam fish; a lighter cover of wax paper or paper towel provides

▯ 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 halfway through cooking.

▯ 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, sweet

potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skin pricked in several locations before cooking to prevent them from bursting.

▯ For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole

vegetables halfway through the cook time.

▯ Most of the time, the denser the food, the longer the

required standing time. For example, a baked potato should stand for 5 minutes before serving, while a dish of peas may be served immediately.

with a soft cloth and warm (not hot) mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe completely dry.

▯ Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel,

especially after cooking greasy foods like chicken or bacon.

▯ Clean your microwave oven weekly or more often, if

needed.

Cleaning Guide

▯ For best performance and for safety reasons, keep the

oven clean inside and outside. Take special care to keep the inner door panel and oven front frame free of food and grease build–up.

▯ Never use abrasive scouring powder or pads on the

microwave. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out

▯ Never operate the microwave oven without food in the

oven cavity, unless pre-heating with Convection, Pizza, Frozen Foods and Keep Warm mode; this can damage the magnetron tube or ceramic tray. You may wish to leave a cup of water standing inside the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is accidentally turned on.

Part Recommendations

Oven cavity Keep inside (cavity) 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, clean cloth and mild soap. DO NOT use harsh

detergents or abrasive cleaners. To help loosen baked–on food particles or liquids, heat 2 cups of water (add the juice of

1 lemon if you desire to keep the oven fresh smelling) in a 4 cup measuring glass at High power for 5 minutes or until boiling. Let stand in oven cavity for 1 or 2 minutes.

For baked-on grease spatters, wash with hot, soapy water, rinse and dry.

Wire rack Wash with soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry, or gently rub with cleansing powder or

soap-filled pads as directed. The wire rack can also be washed in the dishwasher.

Metal turntable tray Remove metal turntable tray from the oven when cleaning the oven cavity and tray.

Wash the metal turntable tray in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher. Ceramic tray Clean with warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Door seal Wipe with damp cloth. Door glass Wash with soap and water or glass cleaner. Apply Fantastik® or Formula 409® to a clean

sponge or paper towel and wipe clean. Avoid using powder cleaning agents, steel wool pads

and oven cleaners.

If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accu-

mulate when operating the oven in high humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage. Painted surfaces Clean with hot soapy water or apply Fantastik® or Formula 409® to a clean sponge or paper

towel and wipe clean. Avoid using powder cleaning agents, steel wool pads and oven cleaners. Stainless steel

surfaces/exterior surfaces

Always wipe or rub in the direction of the grain. Clean with a soapy sponge, then rinse and dry,

or wipe with Fantastik® or Formula 409® spray on a paper towel. Protect and polish with Stain-

less Steel Magic® and a soft cloth. Remove water spots with a cloth dampened with white vine-

gar. Plastic & Controls When cool, clean with soapy water, rinse and dry. Printed areas

Do not use abrasive cleaners or petroleum based solvents. (words & numbers)
