MICROWAVING TIPS
• Make sure all cookware used in your
microwave/convection oven is suitable for
microwaving. Most glass casseroles, cooking
dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or
china dinnerware which does not have metallic trim
or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some
cookware is labeled "suitable for microwaving."
• If you are not
sure if a dish is
microwave-safe,
use this test:
Place in the oven
both the dish you
are testing and a
glass measuring
cup filled with
1 cup of water_
set the measuring cup either in or next to the dish.
Microwave 1 minute at high. If the dish heats,
it should not be used for microwaving. If the dish
VARIABLE POWER LEVELS (1-10)
remains cool and only the water in the cup heats,
then the dish is microwave-safe.
• Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap
can be used to cover dishes in order to retain
moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent
plastic wrap so steam can escape.
• Some microwaved foods require stirring, rotating
or rearranging.
• Steam builds up pressure in foods which are
tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Pierce
potatoes, egg yolks and chicken livers to prevent
bursting.
If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make
sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.
How to Change Power Level
1. Press MICRO COOK or TIME DEFROST.
2. Select cooking or defrosting time.
3. Press POWER LEVEL.
4. Select desired power
level 1-10.
5. Press START.
MMable power levels ,addflexibility to your microwave
cooking. The power levels on your microwave oven can
be compared to the surface units on a range. High
(Power Level 10) or full power is the fastest way to cook
and gives you 100% power. Each power level gives you
microwave energy a certain percent of the time. Power
Level 7 is microwave energy 70% of the time. Power
Level 3 is energy 30% of the time.
A high setting (10) will cook faster but may need
additional attention such as frequent stirring, rotating
or turning over. Most of your cooking will be done
on High (Power Level 10). A lower setting will cook
more evenly and with less attention given to stirring
or rotating the food. Some foods may have better
flavor, texture or appearance if one of the lower
settings is used. You may wish to use a lower power
level when cooking foods that have a tendency to
boil over, such as scalloped potatoes.
Rest periods (when the microwave energy cycles off)
give time for the food to "equalize" or transfer heat
to the inside of the food. An example of this is shown
with Power Level 3--the defrost cycle. If microwave
energy did not cycle off, the outside of the food
would cook before the inside was defrosted.
Here are some examples of uses for various power
levels:
POWER LEVEL BEST USES
High 10 Fish, bacon, vegetables,
boiling liquids.
Med-High 7 Gentle cooking of meat and
poultry; baking casseroles
and reheating.
Medium 5 Slow cooking and tenderizing
such as stews and less tender
cuts of meat.
Low 3 Defrosting without cooking;
simmering; delicate sauces.
Warm 1 Keeping food warm without
overcooking; softening butter.

WHAT YOUR OVEN CAN DO
Cooking with your new oven offers a wide variety
of food preparation options. 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. Reheating is easy and defrosting is
particularly convenient because less time is
spent in food preparation.
Convection cooking constantly circulates heated
air around the food, creating even browning and
sealed-in flavor by the constant motion of hot air
over the food surfaces.
Your new oven also offers the option of combination
cooking, using microwave enmgy along with
convection cooking. You cook with speed and
accuracy, while browning and crisping to perfection.
You can use microwave cooking, convection cooking
or combination cooking to cook by time. Simply
preset the length of cooking time desired and your
oven turns off automatically. Or you can cook by
temperature, by these methods, using the temperature
probe to determine the doneness by the internal
temperature of the food. This method takes the
guesswork out of cooking, shutting the oven off
automatically when the food reaches the desired
temperature.
The Microwave Sensor Cooking Features (Sensor
Cook, Sensor Reheat and Sensor Popcorn) do your
microwave cooking for you. They are easy and
convenient--just follow the step-by-step instructions
in this guide. A sensor detects steam from the food
and automatically adjusts cooking time and power
level for best results.
Do not use the Sensor Features twice in succession
on the same food portion--it may result in severely
overcooked or burnt food. If food is undercooked
after the countdown, use MICRO COOK for
additional cooking time.
Combination Roast uses alternating microwave and
convection to roast meats to perfection.
Auto Defrost automatically sets the defrosting time
and power levels for you. Enter the food weight in
pounds and tenths of a pound and touch the START
pad. The oven calculates the defrosting time and
changes power levels during defrosting to give even
defrosting results.
The Delay Start/Reminder feature lets you program
the oven to start cooking at a desired time, even if
you're not at home. The Reminder feature can be
used like an alarm clock.
The following guide shows at a glance the difference
between microwave, convection and combination
cooking.

Cookware Tips
Convection Cooking
METAL PANS are recommended for all types of
baked products, but especially where browning or
crusting is finportant.
Dark or dull finish metal p,'ms are best for breads
mid pies because they absorb heat ,'rodproduce
crisper crust.
Shiny aluminum p,-ms are better for cakes, cookies
or muffins because these p,'ms 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 cle,'mability of glass.
METAL SHELF
The shelf is required for good air circulation
and even browning when using Convection
and Combination Cook. Allow at least one
inch between the pan and the walls of the
oven for air circulation.
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 metal accessory shelf, damaging the cookware, the
shelf or the oven.
HEAT-RESISTANT PLASTIC microwave cookware
(sate to 400°F) may be used, but it is not recommended
for foods requiring crusting or all-around browning,
because the plastic is a poor conductor of heat.
