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 heating 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 always 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.

IMPORTANT:

When using sensor cook, the oven must cool for 5 minutes between uses or food will not cook properly.

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) pads 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

unattended while popping corn.

• DO NOT use the wire rack when

popping commercially packaged popcorn.

POPCORN

POPCORN pad lets you pop commercial-ly 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 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, racks, and door with care. Allow oven, utensils, and racks to cool before cleaning. Oven, utensils, and racks, 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).

CONVECTION RACK

DRIP PAN

A ceramic enamel drip pan has been included with your oven. When roasting in the oven, place food directly on the ceramic enamel pan. Place the rack inside the ceramic enamel drip pan. Center the drip pan and rack on the glass turntable.

When cooking is complete, use potholders to remove the drip pan and rack from the hot oven. Take care not to spill the hot drippings. Remove food from the rack.

For best results when broiling, remove the ceramic enamel pan and rack from the oven to turn food. Replace the tray and rack on the turntable to continue broiling.

Do not use in microwave-only mode.

Operating Instructions

CONVECTION BAKING GUIDE

1. Always use wire 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. Use a round metal pizza pan as a “Cookie sheet”.

Operating Instructions

BROIL COOKING

Broiling is cooking under direct heat. This oven can broil meat, fish, poultry, and vegetables, or toast bread. Your oven uses broil cooking whenever you use the Broil Pad.

• Foods that are suitable for broiling should be tender, moderately lean and no more than 1 inch thick. Fish steaks, chicken breasts and hamburgers are ideal for broiling.

• Always use either the tall or medium rack when broiling. Place the rack on the ceramic enamel drip pan.

• For even browning, turn the food over halfway through broiling.

• Do not leave the door open for long periods of time when using the broil element. This will cause the oven temperature to drop and could affect cooking performance.

BROILING RACK

Use the broiling rack for broil and auto broil cooking.

BROIL COOKING

Example: To set Broil Cooking for 20 minutes.

Do not use racks in microwave-only mode.

For best results, place food on the broiling rack (High rack, Medium rack).

TIPS FOR COMBINATION COOKING

Combination cooking uses microwave energy and broil, 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 four preprogrammed settings to make it easy to use.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR COMBINATION COOKING

1. Meats may be roasted directly on the LOW rack.

When using the LOW rack, please check your cooking guide for information on proper use.

2. Less tender cuts of beef can be roasted and

tenderized using oven cooking bags.

3. When baking, check for doneness after cooking time

is up. If not completely done, let stand in oven for a few minutes to complete cooking.

COOKWARE PRECAUTIONS

1. Because Combi-1, Combi-2 and Combi-3 use a combination of microwave energy with either Broil or Convection, DO NOT use metal bakeware. Only use microwave-safe cookware such as ceramic or heatproof glass. All cookware MUST be microwave-safe and heatproof. Arcing may occur if metal cookware is used.

2. Combi-4 does not use microwave energy so metal cookware can be used. Heatproof ceramic and heatproof glass cookware can also be used.

3. The ceramic enamel drip pan and either the low or medium rack can be used with any of the combi modes. If using the low or medium rack, the rack MUST be placed on the ceramic enamel drip pan.
