Built-In MIicrowave Oven Safety

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.”

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately

DANGER

WARNING

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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

WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock,

fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

■ Read all instructions before using the microwave oven.

■ Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID

POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” found in this section.

■ The microwave oven must be grounded. Connect only to

properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found in this section.

Install or locate the microwave oven only in accordance

■

with the provided Installation Instructions.

■ Some products such as whole eggs in the shell and sealed

containers – for example, closed glass jars – may explode and should not be heated in the microwave oven.

■ Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as

described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in the microwave oven. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.

■ Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not be

inserted in the microwave oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.

Wi-Fi Connectivity

Your oven has built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, but for it to work, you will have to connect it to your home wireless network. For information about setting up the connectivity, turning it on and off, receiving important notifications and taking advantage of available features, refer to the Oven Wi-Fi Connected Quick Start Guide that came with your oven.

Once the setup process has been completed for the Wi-Fi, you will have access to features that will give you new freedom in cooking. Your available features may vary depending on firmware updates.

Built-In Microwave Oven Use

A magnetron in the oven produces microwaves that reflect off the metal floor, walls, and ceiling and pass through the turntable and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are attracted to and absorbed by fat, sugar, and water molecules in the food, causing them to move, producing friction and heat which cooks the food.

■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not lean on or allow children to swing on the microwave oven door.

■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not operate microwave oven when it is empty.

■ The turntable must be in place and correct side up when microwave oven is in use. Do not use if turntable is chipped or broken. See “Assistance or Service” section to reorder.

■ Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in microwave oven.

■ Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including brown paper bags and newspaper, should not be dried in microwave oven.

■ Paraffin wax will not melt in the microwave oven because it does not absorb microwaves.

■ Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from microwave oven.

■ Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended cook time, potatoes should be slightly firm. Let potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.

■ Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time.

Food Characteristics

When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape,

starting temperature, composition, and density of the food affect cooking results.

Amount of Food

The more food heated at once, the longer the cook time

needed. Check for doneness and add small increments of time if necessary.

Size and Shape

Smaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger

pieces, and uniformly shaped foods cook more evenly than irregularly shaped food.

Starting Temperature

Room temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated

foods, and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods.

Composition and Density

Foods high in fat and sugar will reach a higher temperature, and

will heat faster than other foods. Heavy, dense foods, such as meat and potatoes, require a longer cook time than the same size of a light, porous food, such as cake.

Cooking Guidelines

Covering

Covering food helps retain moisture, shorten cook time, and reduce spattering. Use the lid supplied with cookware. If a lid is not available, wax paper, paper towels or plastic wrap approved for microwave ovens may be used. Plastic wrap should be turned back at one corner to provide an opening to vent steam. Condensation on the door and cavity surfaces is normal during heavy cooking.

Stirring and Turning

Stirring and turning redistribute heat evenly to avoid overcooking the outer edges of food. Stir from outside to center. If possible, turn food over from bottom to top.

Arranging

If heating irregularly shaped or different sized foods, arrange the thinner parts and smaller sized items toward the center. If cooking several items of the same size and shape, place them in a ring pattern, leaving the center of the ring empty.

Piercing

Before heating, use a fork or small knife to pierce or prick foods that have a skin or membrane, such as potatoes, egg yolks, chicken livers, hot dogs, and sausage. Prick in several places to allow steam to vent.

Shielding

Use small, flat pieces of aluminum foil to cover the thin pieces of irregularly shaped foods, bones, and foods such as chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tail. See “Aluminum Foil and Metal” first.

Standing Time

Food will continue to cook by the natural conduction of heat even after the microwave cooking cycle ends. The length of standing time depends on the volume and density of the food.

Turntable On/Off

For best performance, the turntable should be on during microwave cooking.

If using oversized cookware that does not turn freely on the turntable, turn the turntable off. See the “Turntable” section for additional information.

When microwave cooking with the turntable off, food should be turned halfway through the cooking process.

Cookware and Dinnerware

Cookware and dinnerware must fit on the turntable. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling because any dish may become hot from heat transferred from the food. Do not use cookware and dinnerware with gold or silver trim. Use the following chart as a guide, then test before using.

Aluminum Foil and Metal

Always use oven mitts or pot holders when removing dishes from the microwave oven.

Aluminum foil and some metal can be used in the microwave oven. If not used properly, arcing (a blue flash of light) can occur and cause damage to the microwave oven.

OK for Use

Grids and bakeware supplied with the microwave oven (on some models), aluminum foil for shielding, and approved meat thermometers may be used with the following guidelines:

■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow aluminum foil or metal to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling, or oor.

■ Always use the turntable.

■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow

contact with another metal object during microwave cooking.

Do Not Use

Metal cookware and bakeware, gold, silver, pewter, nonapproved meat thermometers, skewers, twist ties, foil liners such as sandwich wrappers, staples, and objects with gold or silver trim or a metallic glaze should not be used in the microwave oven.

Microwave Cooking Power

Many recipes for microwave cooking specify which cooking power to use by percent, name or number. For example, 70%=7=Medium-High.

Use the following chart as a general guide for the suggested cooking power of specific foods.

Auto Convection Conversion

A. Broil element B. Convection fan C. Convection element D. Grilling grid or convection grid

Convection cooking uses the convection element, the broil element and the fan. Hot air is circulated throughout the oven cavity by the fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the food to heat the outer portion quickly.

■ The convect function may be used to cook small amounts of food on a single grid.

■ Always use the grilling grid or convection grid placed on turntable.

■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not cover turntable, grilling grid or convection grid, or baking tray with aluminum foil.

■ Do not use light plastic containers, plastic wrap, or paper products. All heatproof cookware or metal utensils can be used in convection cooking. Round pizza pans are excellent for convection cooking.

■ When the broil element is in use, the cooling fan turns on and stays on for up to 10 minutes after the cycle is over.

■ Use convection cooking for items such as soufés, breads, cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and most meats and sh.

Auto Convection Conversion is a function that converts a standard thermal bake cook time and temperature into an ideal cook time and temperature for convection cooking.

Convection temperatures and times differ from those of standard cooking. The oven will automatically reduce standard recipe temperatures and times for convection cooking.

The conversion may not be exact because foods are grouped in general categories.

Use the following chart as a guide.

■ Unwrap foods and remove lids (from fruit juice) before defrosting.

■ Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep blocks.

■ Separate food pieces as soon as possible during or at the end of the cycle for more even defrosting.

■ Foods left outside the freezer for more than 20 minutes or frozen ready-made food should not be defrosted using the Custom Defrost feature, but should be defrosted manually.

■ Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, and sh tails. See “Aluminum Foil and Metal” rst.

■ Times and cooking powers have been preprogrammed for defrosting a number of food types. For each food category, a precise amount of food can be entered or preprogrammed quantities can be selected.
