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(l) pad

all of the sensor cook and time cook settings can be adjusted to cook food

for a longer or shorter time.

When the cook time is over, you will

hear four beeps and END will display.

,, Recommended amounts:

3.0-3.5 ozs.

PIZZA SLICE

Reheating pizza with PIZZA SLICE

pad lets you reheat one or several sJices of pizza without selecting cooking times and power levels,

Example: To reheat 2 slices of

pizza.

_J_" Touch PIZZA SLICE

S_ice

When the cook time is over, you will

hear four beeps and END will display. ,, Recommended amounts: 1-4 slices.

NOTE: If food is not thoroughly cooked or

reheated when using the sensor feature, complete using a power level and cooking time. DO NOT continue using the sensor pad.

pad.

IMPORTANT:

When using sensor cook, the oven

must cool for 5 minutes between uses or food will not cook properly.

SENSOR COOKING GUIDE

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good Sensor cooking

results.

1. Always use mJcrowavable con- tainers and cover them with lids or

vented plastic wrap.

2. Never use tight-sealing plastic

covers. They can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to

overcook.

POPCORN

POPCORN pad lets you pop commercially packaged microwave popcorn. Pop only one package at a time. For best results, use fresh bags of popcorn.

Example: To pop popcorn.

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 O°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.

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(l) pad.

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 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 1Acup 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.

Cooking Utensils

MICROWAVE UTENSIL GUIDE

OVEN PROOF GLASS (treated for high intensity heat):

Utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and

bowls without metallic trim.

CHINA:

Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters without metallic trim.

PLASTIC:

Plastic wrap (as a cover)-- lay the

plastic wrap loosely over the dish and press it to the sides. Vent plastic wrap by turning back one edge slightly to allow excess steam to escape. The dish should be deep enough so that the plastic wrap

will not touch the food. As the food heats it may melt the

plastic wrap wherever the wrap touches the food.

Use plastic dishes, cups, semirigid freezer containers and plastic bags only for short cooking times.

Use these with care because the

plastic may soften from the heat of the food.

PAPER:

Paper towels, waxed paper, paper

napkins, and paper plates with no

metallic trim or design. Look for the

manufacturer's label for use in the

microwave oven.

METAL UTENSILS:

Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces uneven

cooking. Also avoid metal skewers, thermometers or foil trays. Metal

utensils can cause arcing, which can damage your microwave oven.

METAL DECORATION:

Metal-trimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc. The metal trim interferes with normal cooking and may damage the oven.

ALUMINUM FOIL:

Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking and may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the side walls and

door of the oven.

WOOD:

Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when you

use them in the microwave oven. Baskets react in the same way.

TIGHTLY COVERED UTENSILS:

Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered utensils. Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before cooking.

Tightly closed pouches could explode.

BROWN PAPER:

Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb too much heat and could burn.

FLAWED OR CHIPPED UTENSILS:

Any utensil that is cracked, flawed, or chipped may break in the oven.

METAL TWIST TIES:

Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags.

They become hot and could cause a fire.

Careand Cleaning

CARE AND CLEANING

For best performance and safety, keep the oven clean inside and out- side. 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.

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.

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.
