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

following:

A WARNING-To reduce the risk of

bums, electric shock, fire, injury to persons

or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

• Read and follow the specific Precautions to Avoid Possible Exposure to Excessive Microwave

Energy section on the previous page.

• This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See the Grounding

Instructions section in the back of this guide.

• Use thisappliance onlyfor itsintendeduseas describedin thisguide.Do notuse corrosive

chemicalsorvaporsinthis appliance This microwave/convectionoven is specifically

designedtoheat orcookfood,and is not intendedforlaboratoryorindustrialuse

• 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.

• 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.

• This microwave/convection oven is not approved or tested for marine use.

• Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave/convection oven surface when the

oven is in operation.

• Do not immerse power cord or plug in water.

• Keep power cord away from heated surfaces.

• Do not let power cord hang over edge of table

or counter.

° Do not operate this appliance if it has a

damaged power cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged

or dropped.

• See door surface cleaning instructions in the Care

and Cleaning section(s) of this guide.

• This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact nearest

authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.

• As with any appliance, close supervision is

necessary when used by children.

• To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

--Do not overcook food. Carefully attend

appliance if paper, plastic or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

--Remove wire twist-ties and metal handles from paper or plastic bags before placing

them in the 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 f'daments should be avoided, as they

may also ignite.

--Do not pop popcorn in your microwave/ convection 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 fire, 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 the life of the oven.

--Do not use the oven for storage purposes. Do

not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use.

--If materials inside oven should ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect

power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

• When using the convection or combination

cooking functions, both the outside and inside of the oven will become hot. Always use hot pads to remove containers of food and accessories such as

the metal accessory rack and temperature probe.

• Oversized food or oversized metal cookware

should not be used in a microwave/convection oven because they increase the risk of electric

shock and could cause a fire.

• Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn off the pad and touch electrical parts involving risk of electric shock.

• Do not use paper products when the

microwave/convection oven is operated in

the convection or combination mode.

• Don't defrost frozen beverages in narrow

necked bottles (especially carbonated beverages). Even if the container is opened, pressure can build

up. This can cause the container to burst, possibly

resulting in injury.

° Use foil only as directed in this guide. TV

dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less than

3/4" high; remove the top foil cover and return the

tray to the box. When using foil in the microwave

oven, keep the foil at least 1 inch away from

sides of the oven.

• Do not cover the shelf or any other part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause

overheating of the microwave/convection oven,

_. Cookware may become hot because

of heat transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may be needed to handle the cookware.

Sometimes, the oven floor and walls can become too hot to touch. Be careful touching the

floor and walls during and after cooking.

Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may tend to boil over more rapidly than foods containing less moisture. Should this occur, refer to the Care

and Cleaning section(s) for instructions on how to clean the inside of the oven.

Thermometer--Do not use regular cooking or oven thermometers when cooking by

microwave or combination. The metal and

mercury in these thermometers could cause "arcing" and possible damage to the oven. Do

not use a thermometer in food you are microwaving unless the thermometer is designed

or recommended for use in the microwave oven.

• Remove the temperature probe from the oven when not using it to cook with. If you leave the probe inside the oven without inserting it in food

or liquid, and turn on microwave energy, it can

create electrical arcing in the oven, damage oven walls and damage the temperature probe.

• Plastic cookware---Plastic cookware designed for microwave cooking is very useful, but should

be used carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of overeooking conditions

as are glass or ceramic materials and may soften

or char if subjected to short periods of overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooking,

the food and cookware could ignite. For these reasons: 1) Use microwave-safe plastics only and

use them in strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer's recommendations. 2) Do not

subject empty cookware to microwaving. 3) Do not permit children to use plastic cookware

without complete supervision.

• When cooking pork, follow the directions exactly and always cook the meat to an internal

temperature of at least 170°E This assures that, in

the remote possibility that trichina may be present

in the meat, it will be killed and meat will be safe

to eat.

• Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure

will build up inside egg yolk and will cause it to

burst, possibly resulting in injury.

(continued next page)

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

• Foods with unbroken outer "skin"

such as potatoes, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other

giblets, and egg yolks (see previous caution) should be pierced to allow

steam to escape during cooking.

. Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in

microwave ovens. Check the package for

proper use.

• Spontaneous boiling--Under certain special

circumstances, liquids may start to boil during or

shortly after removal from the microwave oven.

To prevent burns from splashing liquid, we recommend the following: before removing the container from the oven, allow it to stand in the oven for 30 to 40 seconds after the oven has shut

off. Do nut boil liquids in narrow-necked

containers such as soft drink bottles, wine flasks and especially narrow-necked coffee

cups. Even if the container is opened, excessive

steam can build up and cause it to burst or overflow.

• Some products such as whole eggs and scaled containers--for example, closed glass jars-- will explode and should not be heated in this

microwave oven. Such use of the microwave/ convection oven could result in injury.

• Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when opening

any containers of hot food, including

popcorn bags, cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent possible injury,

direct steam away from hands and face.

• Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even

with the lid off. Make sure all infant food is thoroughly cooked. Stir food to distribute the heat

evenly. Be careful to prevent scalding when warming formula or breast milk. The container may feel cooler than the milk really is. Always

test the milk before feeding the baby.

• "Boilable" cooking pouches and tightly dosed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or

vented as directed by package. If they are not,

plastic could burst during or immediately after

cooking, possibly resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage containers should be at least partially

uncovered because they form a tight seal. When cooking with containers tightly covered with

plastic wrap, remove coveting carefully and direct steam away from hands and face.

• Use of the shelf accessory.

--Use pot holders when handling the sheff and

cookware. They will be hot.

--Never use the shelf for microwave-only cooking. Remove the shelf from the oven when

microwave-only cooking.

--Always place the shelf on the floor of the oven for convection and combination cooking.

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

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 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.

VARIABLE POWER LEVELS (1-10)

• 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 mierowaved 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. 1 2 3 4 s

4. Select desired power 6 7 8 s __

level 1-10.

5. Press START.

Variable power levels add flexibility 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.

CLEAR/OFF pad.

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 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 manual. A sensor detects steam from the food

and automatically adjusts cooking time and power level for best results.

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 Srart/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.

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 crest. GLASS OR GLASS-CERAMIC casserole or baking

dishes are best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to the cleanability of glass.

METAL SHELF

The shelf is _!_/_j__,_ required for v

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 (safe 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.

HOW TO USE THE KITCHEN TIMER

The Kitchen Timer

The Kitchen Timer has 3 timing functions:

• It operates as a minute timer.

• It can be set to delay cooking.

• It can be used as a hold setting after defrosting.

The Kitchen Timer operates without

microwave energy,

How to Time a 3-Minute Phone Call

Step 1: Touch KITCHEN TIMER pad. Step 2: Touch number pad 3 and MINUTE pad

(for 3 minutes and no seconds). Step 3: Touch START. Display shows time counting

down. The timer signals when time is up.

Using a Holding Time

The Kitchen Timer can also be used to program a "holding time" between microwave cooking functions.

The time can range from 1 second to 99 minutes and 99 seconds. A holding or standing time may be found

in some of your own recipes or in a cookbook.

Programming Delayed Cooking

To delay cooking up to 99 minutes and 99 seconds,

touch either MICRO COOK, TEMP COOK/HOLD

or COMBINATION ROAST and enter cook time,

Defrosting Tips

:_: _ ._ plastic can be defrosted in

__ • Foods frozen in paper or

..... the package. Tightly closed

packages should be slit, pierced or vented, AFTER

food has partially defrosted, as directed by package.

Plastic storage containers should be at least partially

uncovered.

• Family-size, prepackaged frozen dinners can be defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.

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

magnetron is in operation.

_._:--* For even defrosting, some

_ foods need to be broken up

[_'_,_'7"- 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 after defrosting. Room

temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.

• Check the Defrosting Guide for other defrosting tips.

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 either, 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 temperature. The Micro

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

and maintains that temperature 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 internal temperature of your food, Use

the probe when you want to Convection Cook or Combination Cook to a preferred internal

temperature, (Its appearance may vary from picture shown.) The probe must be used when using Temp Cook/Hold or Combination Roast. To use the probe

properly, follow directions in the Combination Roasting section.

Step 2" Touch TEMP COOK/HOLD pad, Step 3: Touch 1, 6 and 0 for 160°F.

Step 4" Touch POWER LEVEL pad. Touch 5 for medium power.

Cooking Tips

• Use a lower power level; foods 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.

Questions and Answers

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

Step 5: Touch the START pad. If internal temperature

of the roast is less than 90°F., display will show

"COOL"; if temperature is 90°F. or above, display shows temperature counting up.

Step 6: When 160°E is reached, the oven will sound and display "Hold." The oven will then hold the

temperature for up to one hour,

Step 7: Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad to stop the cycle. Step 8: Remove probe and food from the oven.

• Cover foods loosely for moisture control and quick,

even heating.

• Insert the probe horizontally into the center meaty

area not touching bone or fat. Make sure the handle does not touch the food or top or sides of the oven.

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,

Touch SENSOR BEVERAGE pad. No need to touch START, the oven will start immediately.

Can I use regular popcorn with the Sensor Popcorn feature in my microwave oven?

No. This automatic function is designed to be used only with prepackaged microwave popcorn.

When I touched the POPCORN pad, the oven signalled and "HOT" appeared in the display,

and the feature would not operate. Why?

ff the temperature inside the oven is greater than 200 °, the sensor will not operate properly as the oven

does not allow the sensor cooking feature to be used,

The oven will signal and turn off automatically when finished.

CAUTION: Beverages heated with the Sensor

Beverage feature may be quite hot. Remove the container with care.

SENSOR REHEAT

Sensor Reheat is designed for reheating single serving sizes of previously prepared foods. With many

leftovers, there is no need to look up reheating times in a cookbook or to rely on guesswork.

By actually sensing the steam that escapes as food

heats, this feature automatically adjusts the oven's heating time to various types and amounts of pre-

cooked food.

Foods Recommended

A wide variety of previously prepared foods

including leftovers can be

reheated using this feature.

Reheat is recommended for

single-servings of food or plates of leftovers.

Because all cooking containers must be covered during automatic reheating, this feature is best with

foods you want to steam or retain moisture.

NOTE: Do NOT use the metal shelf with Sensor Reheat.

Foods Not Recommended

Bread products, foods that must

be reheated uncovered,

foods that require constant

attention, foods calling for a dry look or crisp

surface after reheating should not be reheated using this feature. It is best to use Micro Cook.

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? Put 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 for

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 steam can mislead the sensor.

CONVECTION TIME COOKING

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.

Questions and Answers

Q. May I use my metal roasting pan to

Combination Cook a roast?

A. No. Do not use metal cookware when Combination

cooking. Place the roast in a glass dish.

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

floor when Combination cooking?

A. No. For best roasting results, place the glass dish on

the oven shelf which rests on the oven floor during

Combination cooking.

Remember:

• Check the Cookware and Accessories section

for correct cookware when Combination cooking.

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

on the oven shelf.

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

• Some recipes call tbr preheating.

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. 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.

For best results

1. Place the shelf on the oven floor.

2. Allow at least one inch between the pan and the walls of the oven.

3. When converting your favorite recipe from regular oven cooking to combination temperature cooking, lower the oven temperature

25 to 35 degrees and check at minimum time.

How to Combination Temperature Cook

food as directed in the Cookbook or in this guide.

COMBINATION ROAST

Combination Roast is a combination function which is similar to combination temperature cooking, using both microwave and convection cooking in conjunction with the temperature

probe. However, the Combination Roast feature eliminates most of the steps necessary to program

combination temperature cooking.

the probe firmly into oven wall receptacle.

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 may be 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?

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 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. Do most meats require standing time after

cooking with Combination 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.
