YOUR

OWN

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 cooking utensil 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 energy 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 Automatic Cooking Control (AUTO COOK) feature does your microwave cooking for you. It’s easy and convenient—just follow the step-by-step instructions in this manual. A sensor detects steam from the food and automatically adjusts cooking time and power level for best results.

AUTO ROAST is a combination cooking function that uses the temperature probe. You simply select from 8 Auto Roast codes, and the oven automatically adjusts power level, oven temperature and internal food temperature to cook the food the way you want it.

AUTO DEFROST automatically sets the defrosting time and power levels for you. You choose the appropriate code number from 1 to 3 from the food you are defrosting, then 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 Auto Start Timer lets you program the oven to start cooking at a desired time, even if you’re not at home.

Cookware Tips

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 not recommended

for foods requiring crusting or all-around browning,

because the plastic is a poor conductor of heat.

AUTOMATIC MICROWAVE

COOmG

Microwaving with the Auto Cook setting offers especially convenient shortcut cooking for many foods. There’s no guesswork about cooking times, no need to look up suggested times in the Cookbook. Instead, a sophisticated sensing device actually detects the steam which escapes from cooking food, and automatically adjusts the oven’s cooking time for various types and amounts of food.

Cooking containers must be covered during Auto Cook, so this feature is best used for foods which you wish to steam or to retain moisture. Eight Auto Cook codes let you select a cycle ideal for many frequently prepared foods. When oven senses the steam, the oven signals so that you can stir or rotate the food as directed. Once steam has been detected, the oven automatically begins counting down the remaining cooking time and adjusts power levels as needed.

Setting the Oven Controls

Step 1: Place food in appropriate container and cover

as directed in the Automatic Cooking Recipe Guide.

Step 2: Touch AUTO COOK.

and “Hot” flashed on display and “DELAY TIME” appeared. Why?

A. If you had previously used your oven for

convection or combination cooking and its interior temperature was above

150°F.,

“Hot,” “START DELAY TIME” and an approximate waiting time will appear on display. If you start the oven at this time, oven light will come on and cooling fan, but no cooking will begin. When oven has cooled below

150°F.,

you can use Auto Cook function.

Q. Are there some foods which do not Auto Cook

well?

A. Yes. Puddings and sauces which require frequent

stirring, candies and melted chocolate, bakery goods or other foods where a dry or crisp surface is desirable are best prepared by microwave time cooking (see the Microwave Time Cooking section). Also, extremely dry foods such as chow

mein

noodles or potato chips do not have enough

moisture to create steam for the sensor.

AUTOMATIC MICROWAVE

COOmG

Automatic cooking control is a fully automatic control system that lets your microwave oven do the cooking for you. The guides in this section are designed to help you make the most of this truly new feature.

Standard cooking techniques require setting the oven for a specified cooking time or a selected finished temperature. And that means looking up recipes in a cookbook... trying to convert old recipes for microwave cooking...or just resorting to guesswork.

This control method works on an entirely different basis—with a special electronic sensor that detects steam from cooking food. The oven “knows” how the food is cooking; so it can automatically set the correct cooking time and maintain the proper power level for different types and amounts of food.

NOTE: Oven will not accept “Auto Cook code”

if the oven is hot. If the word “Hot” appears, you must cool the oven before using Auto Cook or you may choose to use time or temperature microwave cooking.

Easy to Use

With the Auto Defrost feature, the oven automatically sets the defrosting time and power levels for you. You choose the appropriate code number from 1 to 3 for the food you are defrosting, then enter the food weight in pounds and tenths of a pound (See Conversion Guide below) and touch START. The oven calculates the defrosting time and changes power levels during defrosting to give even defrosting results.

When the oven reaches one-third of the total defrosting time, the display flashes “Turn,” telling you to turn food over and will not continue defrosting until door is opened and START is touched again. After defrosting time is complete, the oven automatically turns off.

CONECTION T~E

COOmNG

During convection cooking, a heating element is used to raise the

temperature of the air inside the oven. 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.

Accessories section.

Q. Can I check during the cooking cycle to be sure

that I have set the correct oven temperature?

A. Yes. If you touch the Convection COOK pad at any

time during cooking, the selected oven temperature is displayed on the display.

Q. Can I store the probe in the oven when it is

not in use?

Leaving the probe in the oven is not recommended.

If you forget and leave it in during cooking, without having inserted it in food, damage to

the probe or to the oven may result.

Q. May I cook two or more items at one time using

With this function of your new oven, you can enjoy the benefits of combination cooking with the precision of the temperature probe.

Four combination codes are shown on the guide in the Combination

Time Cooking section to make it easy to program microwave power level and oven temperature with only one entry. The probe makes it simple to cook to the exact degree of doneness desired, by monitoring the internal temperature of the food. This function is exactly like combination time cooking except you set internal food temperature desired instead of cooking time.

How to Combination Temperature Cook

Step 1:

Insert the temperature probe into food as directed in the Microwave Temperature Cooking section or in the Cookbook. Plug the other end securely into the oven wall receptacle.

Step 2: Touch Combination COOK pad.

COOK

Step 3: Select the combination

code by touching a number pad from 1 to 4 depending on oven

temperature needed. Step 4: Enter the desired finished

food temperature by touching the number pads in sequence. For example, to set

180°F.,

touch 1, 8 and O in that order. The selected temperature is shown on the display.

Step 5:

Touch START to begin

Questions and Answers

Q. When I cook poultry, the thin, small areas like

legs and wings often overcook before the rest of the bird is thoroughly cooked. How can I prevent this?

A. Thin, uneven portions of poultry maybe shielded

with aluminum foil during cooking. Do not allow

foil to touch shelf or oven sides, arcing may occur.

Q. Usually my temperature probe gives very

accurate results, but this time it didn’t. What happened?

If the temperature probe is positioned touching fat or bone, an inaccurate reading may result. Be sure to place the probe in solid muscle, usually the thickest, meatiest part of the roast or poultry, or in the center of a meat loaf or casserole.

Q. Meats often take longer than indicated in

the guides to reach the desired internal temperature. Why?

A. If the meat is recently defrosted and still very cold

or icy inside, it will require a longer cooking time than meat which has been merely refrigerated. Times shown in the guides are usually for meats that are refrigerator temperature.

Q. When I tried to program my oven for

combination Auto Roast, it beeped and flashed “Prob.” What did I do wrong?

A. Auto Roast cannot be programmed without the

temperature probe connected to the oven wall

receptacle. To eliminate the “PROB” display

and continue programming the oven, just securely insert the probe into the receptacle.

Q. When I touched the START pad the display

showed “180” instead of the food temperature. Why?

A. If the temperature of the food is lower than

80°F.

the display will indicate “180” until actual food temperature reaches

80°F.

Then the display will show the internal food temperature as it continues to rise.

Q. Do most meats require standing time after

cooking with combination Auto Roast?

A. You may want to let meats stand briefly, to allow

easier carving and serving. Most meat roasts continue to cook for a few minutes after removing from the oven. Check the Cookbook for specific instructions.

CO~ECTION BROIL~G

For broiling time and procedures, refer to guide in Cookbook.

Broiling is cooking food by intense heat from the upper unit in the oven. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these steps to keep

spattering and smoking to a minimum.

Step 2: Insert spatter shield onto drip pan. Always

use spatter shield so fat drips into drip pan; otherwise

juices may become hot enough to catch fire. You can

use rduminum foil to line your drip pan and spatter shield. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the spatter shield and cut slits in it just like the spatter

shield. Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat juices from draining to the drip pan. The juices could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.

Step 1: If meat has fat or gristle near edge, cut

vertical slashes through both about 2 inches apart. If desired, fat maybe trimmed, leaving layer about

1/8 inch thick.

appears on display

when door is opened.

To remove, lift up rear of pan and pull forward with

stop-locks along top edge of oven guides. Keep the pan level during removal.

NOTE: If oven door remains closed, oven will hold preprogrammed temperature for 30 minutes and then shut off.

Step 8: Enter broiling time by touching number pads in sequence. For 25 minutes, touch 2, 5, 0 and O.

Step 9: Touch START pad.

Step 10: When broiling is completed, oven signals and flashes “End.” Oven, light and fan shut off.

Questions and Answers

Q. May I use aluminum foil to

line the drip pan and spatter

shield?

A. Yes, if you mold the foil

thoroughly to the spatter shield and slit it to conform to the

slots in the shield. Slots permit

proper drainage of meat juices into drip pan, minimizing

smoking and spattering and preventing possibility of fire from overheated drippings.

Q. When broiling, is it necessary

to always use the spatter shield in the pan?

A. Yes. Using the spatter shield

suspends the meat over the pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan, thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the shield and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive spatter and smoking.

Q. Should I salt the meat before

Q. Do I need to grease my broiler

broiling? No. Salt draws out the

iuices

and allows them to evaporate.

A. Always salt after cooking. Turn meat with tongs; piercing meat with a fork also allows juices to escape. When broiling poultry or fish, brush each side often with butter.

Q. Why are my meats not

turning out as brown as they should?

A. In some areas, the power

(voltage) to the oven maybe low. In these cases, preheat the broil unit for 10 minutes before

placing broiler pan assembly

with food in oven. Turn food

only once during broiling.

spatter shield to prevent meat

from sticking?

The spatter shield is designed to reflect broiler heat, thus keeping the surface cool enough to

prevent meat sticking to the

surface. However, spraying the

shield lightly before cooking with a vegetable cooking spray will make cleanup easier.

Because of potential safety hazards

under

certtin conditions, we

strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug. However,

if you still elect to use an adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded two-prong wall receptacle by the use of a

Fig. 2

before use

The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.

Caution: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring. You should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground

terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground

has again been established.

Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Where a standard two-prong wall

receptacle is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and

obligation to have it replaced with

a properly grounded three-prong

wall receptacle. Do not under any circumstances

cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be disconnected

frequently.

Do not use an adapter plug in

these situations because frequent disconnection of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. You should have the two-prong wall receptacle replaced with a

three-

prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the appliance.

Use of Extension Cords

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

If a long cord or extension cord is

used—

1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;

2. The extension cord must be a grounding-type

3-wire cord;

3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will

not drape over the counter top or

tabletop

where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

If you use an extension cord, the interior light may flicker and the blower sound may vary when the microwave oven is on. Cooking times maybe

longer, too.

OVEN LAMP REPLACEMENT

If oven light burns out, you may replace it by carefully following the directions below:

Step 1: Disconnect oven power cord from electrical

outlet. Step 2: Unscrew and remove

oven light bulb cover located on left side of cabinet. Do not remove any other part

of cabinet.

Step 3:

Let bulb cool before removing. Gently twist the bulb to break the silicone adhesive attached to the bulb and socket to prevent damage during shipping. Turn bulb counterclockwise to remove from socket.

Step 4: Replace bulb with a special 20 watt light bulb. Insert bulb into socket and turn in clockwise direction.

Step 5: Replace light bulb cover. Step 6: Plug oven power cord into electrical outlet.

Reset oven clock.
