9. Press START/+30SEC. pad.

When heating has ﬁnished you will hear beeps . NOTE: Power level must always be programmed for ﬁrst stage - 100% =10.

Suggestions for getting the 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 than the same foods would at room temperature.

● 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 vegetable 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.

● Turn over items

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.

● Food placement

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

● Food arrangement

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

● Let the 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 in the center and avoids overcooking the out edges, The length of stand time depends on the density and surface area of the food items.

● Wrapping in paper towels or waxed paper

Sandwiches and many other food types containing prebaked bread should be wrapped prior to placing in the microwave to help prevent the food items fro drying out while heating.

Operation

Using Ready Set

1 2 3

Microwave heating or cooking may be quickly set at 100% power level for 1, 2 or 3 minutes. Use the number keys 1, 2 or 3 to choose the desired minutes of cook time (this option will only work using the 1, 2 or 3 numeric pads):

Example: to quickly heat for 2 minutes at 100% power:

Touch number pads 1, 2 or 3 for desired minutes of cook time. NOTE: the Ready Set function cannot be set when using the Defrost (by weight) feature.

Exhaust High / Low / Off

The exhaust ventilation moves steam and other cooking vapors from the cooking surface of the range below the microwave oven. To operate the exhaust vent, Touch the Exhaust HI. LO. OFF pad once for the highest speed setting. Touch the pad again to choose the Low speed setting and a 3rd time to turn the exhaust ventilation off. NOTE: If the temperature gets too hot around the microwave oven, the fan in the exhaust vent hood will automatically turn on at the LOW setting to cool the oven. When this occurs, the vent cannot be turned off.

Surface Light / On / Off

Touch the Light/On/Off pad once for a cooking surface light. Press the pad again to turn the light off.

3. Press START /+30SEC. pad. When defrosting has ﬁnished you will hear beeps . NOTE: The weight amount must be a valid entry for this feature to start. A valid weight entry is 0.1 to 6.0 pounds.

Setting Defrost by Time

Example: to defrost food with the default 30% power level for 5 minutes:

1. Press Defrost Time pad once. 0.0 will

appear in the display.

2. Use the number pads to enter desired defrost time (defrost time may be set up to 99 minutes and 99 seconds).

3. Press START /+30SEC. pad.

When heating has ﬁnished you will hear beeps. NOTE: Power levels cannot be changed for both defrost (by weight) or defrost (by time) because the defrost performance will be adversely affected.

Special notes for defrosting by time

● After pressing START /+30SEC. key, the

display will count down remaining defrost time. The oven will beep twice during the defrost cycle. At this time open the door and turn the food if needed and remove any portions that have already thawed. Touch the START /+30SEC. key to resume the defrost cycle.

● When heating has ﬁnished you will hear beeps.

English

Setting Defrost by Weight

Example: to defrost 1lb. of food with the default power level and cook time determined automatically:

1. Press Defrost Weight pad once. 0.0 will

appear in the display.

2. Use the numeric pads to input weight of food to defrost in pounds (10 = 1lb.) You may enter any weight from 0.1 to 6.0lbs.

Defrosting tips

● When using the Defrost Weight feature,

the weight entered should always be pounds (valid entries are from 0.1 to 6.0 pounds).

● Use both Defrost Weight and Defrost Time features for raw food items only. Defrosting gives best results when food to be thawed is a minimum of 0°F (taken

Operation

directly from a true 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.

English

● 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 foil if they start to become warm.

● You may use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield food items like chicken wings, leg tips and ﬁsh tails, but do not allow the foil to touch the oven cavity walls when defrosting.

There are ten temperatures of convection: 100 °F, 15O °F, 250 °F, 275 °F,300 °F, 325 °F, 350 °F, 375 °F, 400 °F, 425 °F. Convection cooking uses a heating element to raise the temperature of the air inside the oven. Any oven temperature from 100 °F to 425 °F may be set. A fan gently circulates this heated air throughout the oven, over and around the food, producing golden brown exteriors and rich, moist interiors. Because the heated air is kept constantly moving, not permitting a layer of cooler air to develop around the food, some foods cook faster than in regular oven cooking.

For Best Result...

Always use the shelf when convection cooking. Reduce package/recipe temperature 25°F for baked goods. The shelf is required for good air circulation and even browning. See the Cookware Tips section (P20) for information on suggested cookware.

2. Press the number keys to set cooking time.

3. Press START+30SEC. pad to start

cooking.

NOTES:

● Check the Cookware Tips section for correct cookware when Combination Cooking

● Do not use metal cookware when Combination Cooking

● Place meat on a trivet in a glass dish to collect juices and prevent spattering.

● For best roasting and browning results, whole roasts should be cooked in a glass dish placed directly on the oven shelf.

● For foods that are too tall to ﬁt in the oven, you can leave out the trivet. If necessary, you may take out the shelf and place the dish directly on the turntable.

Convection baking

● Use the wire rack during convection baking.

● Always preheat the oven before convection baking.

● Avoid opening the oven door during cooking – each time the door is opened the oven loses heat and this can cause uneven baking.

Cookware Tips

English

Convection Cooking

Metal Pans are recommended for all types of baked products,but especially where browning or crusting 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 these pans reﬂect heat and help produce a light tender crust. Glass or Glass-Ceramic casserole or baking dishes are best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to the cleanability of glass.

Combination Cooking

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 it is recommended for foods requiring crusting or all-around browning, because the plastic is a poor conductor of heat.

Cooking Charts

Cooking Eggs in Your Microwave

English

● 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 will become tough if overcooked.

Cooking Vegetables in Your Microwave

● Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Rarely is extra water needed. If dense vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and greens are being cooked, add about ¼ cup of water.

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

● Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the turntable before cooking. The 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, 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.

Cooking Seafood in Your Microwave

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 less steaming. And be sure not to overcook ﬁsh; check it for doneness at a minimum cooking time before cooking longer.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning suggestions

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 rough scouring powder or pads on the microwave. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out 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.

Follow these instructions to clean and care for your microwave oven:

● Keep the 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.

● Remove the glass turntable tray from the oven when cleaning the oven cavity or tray. To prevent the glass turntable from breaking, handle with care and do not put it in water immediately after cooking. Wash the turntable tray in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher.

● Clean the outside surface of the microwave with soap and a clean damp cloth. Dry with a clean soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts of the oven, do not let water seep into any vents or openings.

● Wash the oven door window with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft clean 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 the oven cavity; this can damage the magnetron tube or glass 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.

How to Clean the Inside

Walls,Floor, Inside Widow, Metal and Plastic Patrs on the Door.

Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel, others may require a damp cloth. Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp utensils on oven walls. To clean the surface of the door and the surface of the oven that come together upon closing, use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents using a sponge or soft cloth. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. Never use a commercial oven cleaner on any part of your microwave.

Removable Turntable and Turntable Support

To prevent breakage, do not place the turntable into water just after cooking. Wash it carefully in warm, sudsy water or in the dishwasher. The turntable and support can be broken if dropped. Remember, do not operate the oven without the turntable and support in place.

English

Care and Maintenance

How to Clean the Outside

Do not use cleaners containing ammonia or

English

alcohol on the microwave oven. Ammonia or alcohol can damage the appearance of the microwave.

Case

Clean the outside of the microwave with a sudsy cloth. Rinse with a damp cloth and then dry. Wipe the window clean with a damp cloth.

Control Panel and Door

Wipe with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water, abrasives or sharp objects on the panel—they can damage it. Some paper towels can also scratch the control panel.

Door Surface

It is important to keep the area clean where the door seals against the microwave. Use only mild, non-abrasive detergents applied with a clean sponge or soft cloth. Rinse well.

Stainless Steel

Do not use a steel-wool pad;it will scratch the surface. To clean stainless steel surfaces, use a hot, damp cloth with a mild detergent suitable for stainless steel surfaces. Use a clean, hot,damp cloth to remove soap. Dry with a dry, clean cloth. If food soil remains, try a general kitchen cleaner, such as Fantastik®, Simple Green® or Formula 409®. For hard-to-clean soil, use a standard stainless-steel cleaner, such as Bon-Ami® or Cameo®. Apply cleaner with a damp sponge. Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to remove cleaner. Dry with a dry, clean cloth. Always scrub lightly in the direction of the grain. After cleaning, use a stainless-steel polish, such as tainless Steel Magic®, Revere Copper and Stainless Steel Cleaner® or Wenol All Purpose Metal Polish®. Follow the product instructions for cleaning the stainless-steel surface.

Power Cord

If the cord becomes soiled, unplug and wash with a damp cloth. For stubborn spots, sudsy water may be used, but be certain to rinse with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly before plugging cord into outlet.
