ŶInstall or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided kit installation instructions.
ŶDo not mount this appliance over a sink.
ŶThe kit and microwave are approved for installation alone or above any single electric wall oven. Do not mount adjacent (within 2 feet) to any range, cooktop, gas oven, or other microwave.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE IN THE OVEN CAVITY
ŶDo not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven while cooking.
Ŷ Remove wire twist-ties and metal handles from paper or plastic containers before placing them in the oven.
Ŷ Do not store any materials, other than our recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the cavity when not in use. Microwave rack should be removed from oven when not in use.
Ŷ If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
Ŷ Do not operate the microwave without food in the oven.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF BURNS
ŶBe careful when opening containers of hot food. Use pot holders and direct steam away from face and hands.
ŶVent, pierce, or slit containers, pouches, or plastic bags to prevent build-up of pressure.
ŶBe careful when touching the turntable, door, or walls of the oven which may become hot during use.
ŶLiquids and certain foods heated in the microwave oven can present a risk of burn when removing them from the microwave. The potential for a burn is greater in young children, who should not be allowed to remove hot items from the microwave.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
WARNING Continued
OPERATING AND CLEANING (continues)
ŶDo not cover the microwave rack or any part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the microwave/convection oven.
ŶCook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.
ŶMake 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.in compliance with cookware manufacturers’ recommendations.
ŶIt is important to keep the area clean where the door seals against the microwave. Use only mild, nonabrasive detergents applied with a clean sponge or soft cloth. Rinse well.
SUPERHEATED WATER
ŶLiquids, such as water, coffee, or tea, are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
ŶDo not overheat the liquid.
ŶStir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
ŶDo not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
ŶAfter heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.
ŶUse extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.
USE OF THE MICROWAVE RACK ACCESSORY
ŶRemove the microwave rack from the oven when not in use.
ŶUse pot holders when handling the microwave rack and cookware. They may be hot.
ŶBe sure that the microwave rack is positioned properly inside the oven to prevent product damage.
ŶDo not use the rack in any microwave only model.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
ŶTo prevent risk of electric shock, follow these instructions.
ŶPlug microwave into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
ŶDo not remove the ground prong or use an adapter.
ŶDo not use an extension cord.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

Microwave Cooking
IMPORTANT: The tray and tray support must be used during all cooking.
Your oven uses microwave energy to cook by a set time or weight, or automatically by sensor. Sensor microwave works by detecting the increasing humidity released during cooking. The oven automatically adjusts the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.

Convection Baking and Convection Roasting
IMPORTANT: The tray and tray support must be used during all cooking.
During convection cooking, a heating element raises the air temperature inside the oven. You can set Convection Bake from 170F to 425F, and Convection Roast from 170F to 375F. A fan gently circulates the heated air around the food and produces 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.

Changing the Power Level
The power level may be entered or changed before entering the time for Cook Time.
1.Press COOK TIME.
2.Enter cooking time.
3.Press POWER LEVEL to select power level.
4.Press START.
Variable power levels add flexibility to microwave cooking. The power levels on the microwave oven can be compared to the surface units on a range. 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. Most cooking will be done on HI which gives you 100% power. HI power level will cook faster but food may need more frequent stirring, rotating or turning over. A lower setting will cook more evenly and need less stirring or rotating of the food. Some foods may have better flavor, texture or appearance if one of the lower settings is used. Use a lower power level when cooking foods that have a tendency to boil over, such as scalloped potatoes.
Power
Level
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:
HI: Fish, bacon, vegetables, boiling liquids.
Med-High 7: Gentle cooking of meat and poultry; baking casseroles and reheating.
Medium 5: Slow cooking and tenderizing for stews and less tender cuts of meat.
Low 2 or 3: Defrosting; simmering; delicate sauces. Warm 1: Keeping food warm; softening butter.

Microwave Cooking Features
Humidity Sensor
The Sensor Features detect the increasing humidity released during cooking. The oven automatically adjusts the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.
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 Time Cook for additional cooking time.
ŶThe proper containers and covers are essential for best sensor cooking.
ŶAlways use microwave-safe containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Never use tight sealing plastic containers—they can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.
ŶBe sure the outside of the cooking containers 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.

USING THE MICROWAVE: Convection Features
Convection Features
IMPORTANT: For all convection features, Put the food into the oven after the preheat period is complete.There will be a beep and the display will show the set temperature.
Convection Bake cooking uses a heating element to raise the temperature of the air inside the oven. Any oven temperature from 170°F to 425°F may be set. 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.
See the Cookware Tips section for information on suggested cookware.
For Best Results…
The rack is required for good air circulation and even browning.
Always use the provided racks
when convection cooking. We recommend the tall rack for cookies and the short rack for cakes, pizza, biscuits and pies. Do not use both racks at once.
See the Cookware Tips section for information on suggested cookware.

IMPORTANT: For all convection features, Put the food into the oven after the preheat period is complete.There will be a beep and the display will show the set temperature.
Convection Roast Cooking offers the best features of microwave energy and convection cooking. Microwaves cook food fast and convection circulation of heated air browns foods beautifully. Any oven temperature from 170°F to 375°F may be set.
For Best Results…
The rack is required for good air circulation and even browning.
Always use the provided rack when combination cooking. Do not use any other metal. We recommend placing the meat inside of a glass dish on top of the short rack.

USING THE MICROWAVE: Cookware Tips
Cookware Tips
Convection Bake Cooking or Warming
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.
Convection Roast 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.
