MICROWAVING TIPS

• Make sure all cookware used in your microwave
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

micmwaving."

• 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 one
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 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.

All These Things are Normal With Your Microwave Oven:

• Dimming oven light and change in blower sound may
occur while operating at power levels other than high.

• Dull, thumping sound while oven is operating.

• Some TV-Radio interference might be noticed
while using your microwave oven. It's similar to

the interference caused by other small appliances
and does not indicate a problem with your oven.

• Steam or vapor escaping t?om around the door.

• Light reflection around door.

• During cooking you will hear "cracking" and "popping"
noises which are nothing more than normal expansion

of the oven.

• At the end of microwave cycles you will hear a slight
thump. This is normal.

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 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

The Microwave Sensor Cooking Features (Auto
Cook, Auto Reheat and Popcorn) do your microwave

cooking for you. They are 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.

Combination Auto Roast is a cooking function that
uses the temperature probe. You simply select from

4 Combination Auto Roast codes, and the oven
automatically adjusts power level, oven temperature

and internal _bod temperature to cook the food the
way you want it.

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 Auto 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.

between microwave, convection and combination

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 plms are best for breads and
Fries because they absorb heat and produce crisper

crust•
Shiny aluminum pans arc better for cakes, cookies

or muffins because these pans reflect heat _md help
produce a light lender crust.

GLASS OR GLASS-CERAMIC casserole or baking
dishes are best suited for egg and cheese recipes due

to the c/eanability 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 metal accessory shelf, damaging the cookware, the
shelf or the oven.

HEAT-RESISTANT PLASTIC microwave

cookware (safe to 400°E) may be used, but it is

not recommended for tbods requiring crusting or
all around browning, because the plastic is a poor

conductor of heat.

DEFROSTING BY TIME

(continued)

Defrosting Tips

• Foods frozen
in paper or

plastic can be
defrosted in

the package.

• Family-size, pre-packaged frozen dinners can be
defrosted mid microwaved. If the food is in a foil

container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.

• For even
defrosting,

some foods

need to be

broken up \..,_._

or separated
part of the way through the defrosting time.

• Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs,
fish. stuffings, poultry and pork should not be

allowed to sit out for more than one hour Mter

defrosting. Room temperature promotes the
growth of harmful bacteria.

Questions and Answers

Q. When I press START, I hear a dull thumping

noise, What is it?

A, This sound is normal. It is letting you know the

oven is using a power level lower than 10 (High).

Q. Can I defrost small items in a hurry?
A, Yes, but they will need more frequent attention

than usual. Raise the power level after entering
the time by touching the desired power level pad.

Power level 7 cuts the total defrosting time in
about 1/2; power level 10 cuts the total defrosting

time to approximately 1/3. During eithel: rotate or
stir food frequently.

COOKING BY TEMPERATURE

Internal temperature is the best test of doneness for

many foods.
Use Temp Cook Hold to cook a variety of foods to

the desired finished food temperatm'e. The Time
Cook setting is recommended for batters, doughs,

frozen foods and foods which are difficult to cook
precisely with the probe.

Temp Cook Hold takes the guesswork out of cooking,
because the oven automatically switches to "Hold"

setting after reaching the preset food temperature from
90°E to 199°E and maintains that temperatm'e for up

to one hour or until you touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.
NOTE: Oven automatically switches to "Hold" when

preset food temperature is reached.

The Temperature Probe

The temperature probe is a food thermometer that
gauges the imernal temperature of your fond. Use
the probe when you want to Convection Cook

or Combination Cook to a preferred internal
temperature. (Its appearance may vary, from picture

shown.) _e probe must be used when using Temp
Cook Hold or Auto Roast. See How to Use the

Temperature Probe section for proper use of
your probe.

Handle Sensor

End _,

18

How to Use the Temperature Probe

Place the probe so that the point

rests in the center of the thickest
meaty part of the roast, or into

the cut end or the meatiest part
of boueless ham or lamb. The

point should not touch bone, fat
or gristle. For bone-in ham or

lamb, insert the probe into the

center of the lowest large muscle
or joint.

Insert the probe into the meatiest

part of the inner thigh, below

and parallel to the leg of a
whole turkey.

For dishes such as meatloaf or
casserole, insert the probe into

the center.

How to Temp Cook a Rolled Beef Rib Roast to Medium

Step 1: Insert temperature probe and attach probe

securely in oven wall. Close the door.

Step 2: Touch the TEMP COOK

TEMP COOK HOLD pad.

HOLD

Step 5: Touch START. If internal
temperature of the roast is less than

START 90°E, display will show "COOL"; if

temperature is 90°E or above, display
shows temperature counting up.

Step 6: When 150°E is reached, the oven will sound
and display "HOLd." The oven will then hold the

temperature.

i Step 7: Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad

CLEAR to stop the cycle.

OFF

Step 3: Touch 1, 5 and 0 for 150°E

Step 4: Touch the POWER LEVEL

POWER pad. Touch 5 for medium power.

LEVEL

Step 8: Remove the probe and food from the oven.

Cooking Tips

• Use a lower power level; tbods
will heat more evenly though

requiring more time.

• Be sure frozen food has been

completely defrosted before
inserting probe. Probe may

break off if used in frozen foods.

• Cover foods loosely tbr moisture

control and quick, even heating.

Questions and Answers

Q. Why did "PROBE" flash on the display after

I touched the START pad?

A. "PROBE" will flash if you don't seat the cable

end of the probe securely into the receptacle
in the oven wall or if you touch the TEMP

COOK HOLD pad and forget to use the probe,

Q, Can I leave my probe in the oven if it's not

inserted in food?

A. No, if it touches the oven wall, it may damage

the oven,

AUTO COOK

The Auto Cook feature )nay be used to eliminate your
need to look up cooking time in a cookbook or guess

how long to set cooking time. By actually sensing

the steam that escapes as food microwaves, this
feature automatically adjusts the oven's cooking

time to various types and amounts of food.

Because most cooking containers must be covered
during Auto Cook, this feature is best with foods that

you want to steam or retain moisture.

NOTE: Use of the metal shelf with Auto Cook

is NOT recommended.

Foods Recommended

A wide
variety of foods

including meats,
fish casseroles,

vegetables,
leftovers and

convenience
foods can be
Auto Cooked.

Foods Not Recommended

Foods that must be
cooked uncovered,
foods that require

constant attention,
foods that require

addition of
ingredients during

cooMng, and foods
calling ti)r a @ look

or crisp surface after cooking should not be Auto
Cooked. It is best )o Time Cook them.

Foods that microwave best using the temperature
probe should be Temp Cooked or Auto Roasted.

Easy to Use

Simply touch three control pads--AUTO COOK,
desired CODE, and START. The word "AUTO"

appears on the display and the sensor is activated
to sense steam from food.

Keep Door Closed

Do not open the oven door while the word "AUTO"
is displayed--stemn escaping from the oven can

affect cooking perfolanance. If the door is opened,
close the door and touch START immediately.

Auto Cook Codes

Auto Cook codes 1 through 8 are designed to give

you easy automatic results with a number of foods.
Code 1, designed for reheating foods quickly, rams

the oven off automatically as soon as the sensor
detects steam from the lbods.

When codes 2 through 8 are selected, the oven

deterntines how much additional cooking time is
needed after steam has been sensed, automafic',dly

switches to TLME COOK and signNs. The word
"AUTO" on the display is then replaced by

countdown numbers indicating remaining cooking
time. When the signal is heard, the oven door may
be opened for stirring, turning or rotating food.

How to Adjust Auto Cook Codes to Suit Your Taste

By simply adding a 1 after any Auto Cook code
number, you can set the oven to cook for 20% less

time than the code would regularly provide.
For example, if code 4 cooks your chicken more done

than you like it, set code 41 next time and you'll get
20% shorter cooking time.

If you want a longer cooking lime than a code

_rovides, add a 9 after the code,

For the chicken in the example at le_i, code 49 would
provide 20% longer cooking time than the regular

code 4 would provide.

Example:

AUTOMATIC COOKING CONTAINERS & COVERS

Containers and Covers

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure

good cooking results.

• Always use microwave-safe containers and
cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap.

Wonder if it's microwave-safe? Pnt it to the test
described in the Microwaving Tips section.

• Never use tight-sealing plastic covers--they
can prevent steam from escaping and cause food

to overcook.

• Match the amount of food to the size of the
container. Fill containers at least half full t_)r

best results.

• Be sure the outside of the cooking container and
the inside of the microwave oven are dry before

placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning
into stetun can mislead the sensoc

• Stir or rotate some foods after a beeping signal, if

required. See Automatic Cooking Control Guide.

f

Use microwave-safe casseroles or
bowls for entrees and vegetables.

Cover with lids that fit. If lids are
not available, use plastic wrap or
wax paper. Plastic wrap should

be vented over food to allow for
escaping steam, Sea! by pressing

plastic wrap firmly around edges.

For frozen entrees in paperhoard
trays, remove tray from box but

do not remove fihn over tray.
Thick entrees may take longer

to cook-see the Automatic
Cooking Control Guide.

For frozen foods in metal Fays,
remove foil covering and baked
goods, reinsert tray into box and

close ends of box.

Slit plastic pouches I inch as

AUTO REHEAT

(continued)

Questions & Answers

Q. If my food is not completely reheated after

using Auto Reheat, what should I do?

A. Use Time Cook to reheat for additional time

until desired temperature is reached.

Q. What if I don't fully cover the dish in Auto

Reheat?

A. Oven senses stem too quickly, which shortens

the reheating time and leaves food too cool.
Cover tightly and reset Auto Reheat,

COMBINATION AUTO ROAST

Combination Auto Roast is similar to combination

temperature cooking, using both microwave and

convection cooking in conjunction with the

temperature probe. However, the Combination
Auto Roast feature eliminates most of the steps

necessary to program combination temperature
cooking. Instead, you can set the entire cooking

program by selecting just one Combination Auto
Roast code.

The food is placed in a glass dish on a trivet for
cooking during Combination Auto Roast. To select

a code from 1 to 4, see the Combination Auto Roast
Guide below.

How to Combination Auto Roast

(The metal shelf must be in place on the oven floor
when using convection or combination cooking.)

Step 1: Insert the

Questions and Answers

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

legs and wings often overeook before the rest
of the bird is thoroughly cooked. How can I

prevent this?

A. Thin, uneven portions of poultry may be shielded

with aluminum foil during cooking. Do not allow
foil to touch metal shelf or oven sides because

arcing may occuc

Q. Usually my temperature probe gives very

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

A. 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 meatloaf 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 Anto Roast, it beeped and flashed

"PROBE." What did I do wrung?

A. Combination Auto Roast cannot be programmed

without the temperature probe connected to the

oven wall receptacle. To eliminate the "PROBE"
display and continue programming the oven, just
securely insert the probe into the receptacle.

Q. Do most meats require standing time after

Combination Auto Roasting?

A. You may also 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.

COMBINATION TIME COOKING

Combination cooking offers the best features
of microwave energy and convection cooking.
Microwaves cook food last and convection

circulation of heated air browns foods beautifully.

Four combination cooking codes make it easy to set
your oven for combination cooking. Just enter one
digit to automatically set both oven temperature and

microwave power level.

How to Combination Time Cook

(The metal shelf must be in place on the oven floor

when using convection or combination cooking.)

Step 1: Touch Combination COOK

pad.

COOK

Step 2: Select a combination cooking
code by touching a number pad from

one to four.

Step 3: Enter desired cooking time in hours and
minutes by touching number pads in sequence. For
example, for 1 hour and 20 minutes, touch 1, 2 and 0.

To enter time less than one hour, for example, 30
minutes, touch 3 and 0.

START

Step 4: Touch START. Cooking

time begins to count down. When
time reaches less than 60 minutes,

display shows minutes on left of
colon and seconds on right. When

time is completed, oven signals,
flashes "End" and turns off.

Questions and Answers

Q. May I use my metal roasting pan to Combination

Cook a roast?

A. No. Do not use metal cookware when using

Microwave or Combination cooking. Place the
metal shelf on the floor of the oven. Then place
the roast in a glass dish on the shell'.

Q. Can I switch from one Combination code to

another during cooking?

A. No. The selected Combination code may not be

changed during the cooking operation, but you
may reprogram the complete cooking instructions
if you wish.

Q. Is it necessary to place a glass dish on the oven

floor when Combination cooking?

A. No. For best roasting results, place meat in a glass

dish. Place dish on the oven shelf on floor of oven.

Remember:

• Check the Cookware and Accessories section for
correct cookware when Combination cooking.

• For best roasting and browning results, whole roasts
and poultry should be cooked in a dish placed directly

on the oven shelf on floor of oven.

• Place meat in a glass dish on a trivet to collect juices
and prevent spattering. See Convection preheat
instructions in the Convection Time Cooking section.

• Some recipes call for preheating.

Combination Codes

This guide shows the oven temperature and
microwave power (watts) that are automatically set
when using that particular code number. You must

set the cooking time or internal food temperature as
shown in the Combination Time Cooking section and

in the Convection Temperature Cooking section.

COMBINATION TEMPERATURE COOKING

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

(The metal shelf must be in place on the oven floor

when using convection or combination cooking.)

Step 1: Insert the
temperature probe

into food as directed
in the Cooking by

Temperature section.
Plug the other end

securely into the
oven wall receptacle.

COOK

Step 2: Touch Combination
COOK pad.

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. Any

food temperature from 90°E to 199°E may be
programmed. For example, to set 180°E, touch 1,

8 and 0 in that order. The selected temperature is
shown on the display.

Step 5: Touch START to begin
cooking. The selected fbod

START temperature disappears and the

display shows "COOL" until
internal Ibod temperature reaches

90°F. Then display shows actual
food temperature as it rises.

When food reaches the selected

temperature, the display shows
"End" and the oven signals and

turns off.

For iniormation on cookware for combination
temperature cooking, refer to the Cookware and

Accessories section.

31

CONVECTION TIME COOKING

During convection cooking, a heating element is
used to raise the temperature of the air inside the

oven. Any oven temperature from 225°F. to 450°F.
may be programmed. 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 taster than in

regular oven cooking.

NOTE: For information on suggested cookware, see
Cookwarc and Accessories section.

CONVECTION TEMPERATURE COOKING

You can also convection cook with the temperature probe, to assure
that foods are cooked precisely to the degree of doneness desired, while

the constantly circulating hot air assures even cooking and delicious
browning. The temperature probe monitors the internal temperature

of the food and turns the oven off automatically when the desired
temperature is reached.

Questions and Answers

Q. After I preheated my oven, I tried to set

cooking time, but nothing happened. What is
the problem?

A. Until you open the oven door or touch the

CLEAR!OFF pad, the oven remains in the preheat
mode and no further instructions can be entered.

After 30 minutes oven automatically turns off.

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?

A. 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.
