Getting The Best Cooking Results
To get the best results from your microwave oven, read and follow the guidelines below.
• Storage Temperature: Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same foods at
room temperature. Size: Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones, pieces similar in size and shape cook more evenly. For even
cooking, reduce the power when cooking large pieces of food.
Natural Moisture: Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave energy is attracted to water molecules.
• Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables from the outside to the center to distribute the heat evenly and speed
cooking. Constant stirring is not necessary.
• Turn over foods like pork chops, baking potatoes, roasts, or whole cauliflower halfway through the cooking time to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.
• Place delicate areas of foods, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the dish.
• Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or salmon steaks, with the thicker, meatier parts toward
the outside of the dish.
Shield, with small pieces of aluminum foil, parts of food that may cook quickly, such as wing tips and leg ends of
poultry.
Let It Stand: After you remove the food from the microwave, cover food with foil or casserole lid and let it stand to
finish cooking in the center and avoid overcooking the outer edges. The length of standing time depends on the density and surface area of the food.
• Wrapping in waxed paper or paper towel: Sandwiches and many other foods containing prebaked bread should
be wrapped prior to microwaving to prevent drying out.

Operating Instructions
SENSOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your favorite foods without selecting cooking times and power levels. The display will indicate the sensing period by scrolling the name of the food. The oven automatically determines required cooking time for each food item. When the internal sensor detects a certain amount of humidity coming from the food, it will tell the oven how much longer to cook. The display will show the remaining cooking time.
For best results when cooking by Sensor, follow these recommendations:
1. Food cooked with the sensor system should be at normal storage temperature.
2. Glass turntable and outside of container should be dry to assure best cooking results.
3. Most foods should be covered loosely with microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a lid.
4. Do not open the door or touch the STOP/CLEAR pad during the sensing time. When sensing time is over, the oven beeps and the remaining cooking time will appear in the display window. At this time you can open the door to stir, turn, or rearrange the food.
3. Match the amount to the size of the container. Fill containers at least half full for best results.
4. 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.
ADDING OR SUBTRACTING COOK TIME
By using the More(9) or Less(1) pad all of the sensor cook and time cook settings can be adjusted to cook food for a longer or shorter time.
CAUTION
DO NOT leave microwave oven
• unattended while popping corn. When popping commercially

For added convenience, the AUTO DEFROST beeps to remind you to check or turn over the food during the defrost cycle.
After touching the AUTO DEFROST pad once, select the type of food, then enter the food weight.
Example: To defrost 1.8 lbs of meat.
1. Touch AUTO DEFROST pad.
2. Touch 1 pad to select meat.
3. Enter the weight.
4. Touch ENTER/START pad.
NOTES:
After you touch ENTER/START pad, the display
• counts down the defrost time. The oven will beep twice during the Defrost cycle. At this time, open the door and turn the food as needed. Remove any portions that have thawed or separate pieces then return frozen portions to the oven and touch ENTER/START pad to resume the defrost cycle.
The oven will not stop during the BEEP unless the
door is opened.

DEFROST TIPS
When using AUTO DEFROST, the weight to be entered
• is the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds (the weight of the food minus the container).
Use AUTO DEFROST only for raw food. AUTO
• DEFROST gives best results when food to be thawed is a minimum of 0°F (taken directly from a true freezer). If food has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a temperature of 5°F or below, always program a lower food weight (for a shorter defrosting time) to prevent cooking the food.
If the food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20
• minutes, enter a lower food weight.
The shape of the package alters the defrosting time.
• Shallow rectangular packets defrost more quickly than a deep block.
Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated
• pieces defrost more easily.
Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start
• to become warm.
You can use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield
• foods like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails, but the foil must not touch the side of the oven. Foil causes arcing, which can damage the oven lining.

Operating Instructions
CONVECTION COOKING
During convection cooking, a heating element is used to raise the temperature of the air inside the oven. Convection cooking temperature ranges from 100°F to 450°F. It is best to preheat the oven when convection cooking.
Lower oven temperature by 25°F from package recommended temperature instructions if lighter browning is preferred. The baking time may vary according to the food condition or individual preference. Check doneness at the minimum time and then adjust time by touching the More(9) or Less(1) pad.
CAUTION
To avoid risk of burns, handle utensils, rack, and door with care. Allow oven, utensils, and rack to cool before cleaning. Oven, utensils, and rack, become hot during operation.
To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage, do not use oven without turntable in place.
To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage, do not cover turntable or rack with aluminum foil.
To avoid risk of property damage, do not use lightweight plastic containers, plastic wraps or paper products during a convection cooking cycle.
Do Not touch hot surfaces (Including oven cavity,
oven door, turntable, rack or pan; use pot holder).
DRIP PAN
A ceramic enamel drip pan has been included with your oven. When roasting in the oven, place food directly on the rack. Center the drip pan on the glass turntable under the food.
When cooking is complete, use potholders to remove the drip pan from the hot oven. Take care not to spill the hot drippings. Remove food from the rack, then remove rack from the oven.
Do not use in microwave-only mode.

CONVECTION BAKING WITH PREHEATING
Example: To set Convection Baking at 325°F. Use drip pan if cooking meats or poultry on the rack.
22
Operating Instructions
CONVECTION BAKING GUIDE
1. Always use rack when convection baking. Place food directly on rack or place in drip pan and then place pan on rack.
2. Aluminum pans conduct heat quickly. For most convection baking, light, shiny finishes give best results because they prevent overbrowning in the time it takes to cook the center areas. Pans with dull (satin-finish) bottoms are recommended for cake pans and pie pans for best bottom browning.
3. Dark or non-shiny finishes, glass, and pyroceram absorb heat which may result in dry, crisp crusts.
4. Preheating the oven is recommended when baking foods by convection. Meats, casseroles and poultry do not require preheating.
5. To prevent uneven heating and save energy, open the oven door to check food as little as possible.
6. ALWAYS remove rack from oven when microwaving.
7. Use a round metal pizza pan as a “Cookie sheet”.

TIPS FOR COMBINATION COOKING
Combination cooking uses microwave energy and convection cooking to shorten cooking time.
This cooking process also leaves meats juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. In combination cooking, the convection heat and microwave energy alternate automatically. combination cooking has one preprogrammed setting to make it easy to use.
HELPFUL HINTS FOR COMBINATION COOKING
1. Meats may be roasted directly on the rack. When using the rack, please check your cooking guide for information on proper use. See page 25.
2. Less tender cuts of beef can be roasted and tenderized using oven cooking bags.
PRECAUTIONS
1. All cookware used for combination cooking must be both microwave-safe and oven proof.
2. DO NOT use metal cookwave when using combination cooking. During combination cooking, metal cookware may cause arcing when it comes in contact with the oven walls or metal racks. Arcing is a discharge of electricity that occurs when microwaves come in contact with metal.

Guide for Cooking Eggs in Your Microwave
Never cook eggs in the shell, and never warm hard-cooked eggs in the shell; they can explode.
• Always pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting.
• Cook eggs just until set; they become tough if overcooked.
Guide for Cooking Vegetables in Your Microwave
• Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Often, no extra water is needed. If dense vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and green beans are being cooked, add about ¼ cup water.
• Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook faster than larger ones.
• Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the turntable before cooking. They will cook more evenly if turned over after half the cooking time has passed.
• Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli with the stem ends pointing towards the edge of the dish and the tips toward the center.
• When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap.
• Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skin pricked in several spots before cooking to prevent them from bursting.
• For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway through the cooking time.
• Generally, the denser the food, the longer the standing time. (Standing time refers to the time necessary for dense, large foods and vegetables to finish cooking after they come out of the oven.) A baked potato can stand on the counter for five minutes, while a dish of peas can be served immediately.

Care and Cleaning
CARE AND CLEANING
For best performance and safety, keep the oven clean inside and out­side. Take special care to keep the inner door panel and the oven front frame free of food or grease build-up.
Never use rough powder or pads.
Wipe the microwave oven inside and out, including the hood bottom cover, with a soft cloth and a warm (not hot) mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry. Use a chrome cleaner and polish on chrome, metal and aluminum surfaces. Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or bacon. Clean your oven weekly or more often, if needed.
Follow these instructions to clean and care for your oven.
• Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids can stick to the oven walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently.
• Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.
• To help loosen baked on food particles or liquids, heat two cups of water (add the juice of one lemon if you desire to keep the oven fresh) in a four-cup measuring glass at High power for five minutes or until boiling. Let stand in the oven for one or two minutes.
• Remove the glass tray from the oven when cleaning the oven or tray. To prevent the tray from breaking, handle it carefully and do not put it in water immediately after cooking. Wash the tray carefully in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher.
• Clean the outside surface of the oven with soap and a damp cloth. Dry with a soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts of the oven, don’t let water seep into the openings.
• Wash the door window with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft cloth to avoid scratching.
30
• If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accumulate when operating the oven in high humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage.
• Never operate the oven without food in it; this can damage the magnetron tube or glass tray. You may wish to leave a cup of water in the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is accidentally turned on.
CONVECTION RACK/DRIP PAN
Wash the convection rack and ceramic enamel tray/drip pan with a mild soap and a soft or nylon scrub brush. Dry completely. Do not use abrasive scrubbers or cleaners to clean rack and ceramic enamel tray/ drip pan.
CLEANING THE GREASE FILTER
The grease filter should be removed and cleaned often, at least once a month.
CAUTION
To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage, do not operate oven hood without filters in place.
1. To remove grease filter, slide filter
to the side. Pull filter downward and push to the other side. The filter will drop out.
2. Soak grease filter in hot water and
a mild detergent. Rinse well and shake to dry. Do not use ammonia
or place in a dishwasher. The aluminum will darken.
3. To reinstall the filter, slide it into the side slot, then push up and toward oven center to lock.
CHARCOAL FILTER REPLACEMENT
If your oven is vented to the inside, the charcoal filter should be replaced every 6 to 12 months, and more often if necessary. The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. To order a new charcoal filter, contact the Parts Department at your nearest Authorized Service Center or call
1-800-536-6247
(inside U.S.A and Canada).
1. Unplug oven or turn off power at
the main power supply.
2. Open the door.
3. Remove the two vent grille
mounting screws. (2 middle screws)
4. Slide the grille to the left, then pull
straight out.
5. Remove old filter.
