using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the
following:

A WARNING-~oreducetheriskof

burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons
or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

●

Read and follow

tie

specific “Precautions to
Avoid Possible Exposure to Excessive Microwave
Energy” on previous page.

. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only

to properly grounded outlet. See “Grounding
Instructions” in the table of contents.

●

Use this appliance only for its intended use as

described in this manual. Do not use corrosive

chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This
microwave/convection oven is specifically
designed to heat or cook food, and is not
intended for laboratory or industrial use.

●

For best operation, plug this appliance into

its own electrical outlet, to prevent flickering

of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit
breaker.

●

Do not mount this appliance over a sink. Install

or locate this appliance only in accordance with
the provided Installation Instructions.

●

Be certain to place the front surface of the door

three inches or more back from the countertop
edge to avoid accidental tipping of the
appliance in normal usage.

●

Do not cover or block

any

openings on the

appliance.

●

Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not

use this product near water—for example, in a wet
basement, near a swimming pool or near a sink.

* Do not operate any heating or cooking

appliance beneath this microwave oven.

●

Do not mount the microwave oven over or near

any portion of a heating or cooking appliance.

●

Do not store anything directly on top of the

microwave oven surface when the microwave
oven is in

o~eration.

@

Do not let power cord hang over edge of table

or counter.

●

Do not operate this appliance if it has a

To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

—Do not overcook food. Carefully attend

materiaIs me

placed inside the oven to facilitate

cooking.

—Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic

bags before placing bags in oven.

—Do not use your microwave/convection oven to

dry newspapers.

—Do not use recycled paper products. Recycled

paper towels, napkins and waxed paper can
contain metal flecks which may cause arcing
or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or
nylon filaments should be avoided, as they may
also ignite,

—Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven

unless in a special microwave popcorn accessory
or unless you use popcorn labeled for use in
microwave ovens.

—Do

not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate

and catch

fue,

causing damage to your oven.

—Do not operate the oven in microwave or

combination modes while empty to avoid
damage to the oven and the danger of fire.
If by accident the oven should run empty a
minute or two, no harm is done. However, try to
avoid operating the oven empty at all times—it
saves energy and prolongs

tie

life of the oven.

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.

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 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.

etc,

with tight-fitting lids are not
recommended for microwaving and do not allow
steam to escape properly.

When I opened the oven door to stir my food,
the oven beeped and flashed

“EEEE.” What

did I do wrong?

If the oven door is opened while “Auto” is
showing in display, it will signal and flash

“EEEE.”

Close door and touch START.

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.
