The microwave oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

Ensure proper ground exists before use

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Improper grounding can

WARNING:

result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a

qualied electrician or service technician if you

do not understand the grounding instructions or if doubt exists whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not use an extension cord. If the

power supply cord is too short, have a qualied

electrician or service technician install an outlet near the microwave oven.

For a permanently connected appliance:

•

This appliance has a short power supply cord to reduce the risk of anyone tripping over or becoming entangled in the cord. The microwave oven must be connected to a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor should be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the microwave oven.

This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also discusses the basic information you need to know to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information before you use your oven.

HOW YOUR MICROWAVE HOOD COMBINATION WORKS

Microwave energy is not hot. It causes food to make its own heat, and it is this heat that cooks the food. Microwaves are like TV waves, radio waves, or light waves. You cannot see them, but you can see what they do.

A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves. The microwaves move into the oven where they contact food as it turns on the turntable.

Magnetron

Metal oor

The glass turntable of your microwave oven lets

microwaves pass through. Then they bounce o a metal oor, back through the glass turntable, and

are absorbed by the food.

Glass tray

Oven cavity

Microwaves pass through most glass, paper, and plastics without heating them so food absorbs the

energy. Microwaves bounce o metal containers

so food does not absorb the energy.

Sensor Cooking

The Microwave System features Sensor Cooking functions. A humidity sensor in the oven cavity detects moisture and humidity emitted from food as it heats. The sensor adjusts cooking times to various types and amounts of food. Sensor cooking takes the guess work out of microwave cooking.

For the best cooking results

• Always cook food for the shortest cooking time

recommended. Check to see how the food is cooking.

• Stir, turn over, or rearrange

cooked about halfway through the cooking time for all recipes. This will help make sure the food is evenly cooked.

• If you do not have a cover for a dish

RADIO INTERFERENCE

Using your microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV, or similar equipment. When there is interference, you can reduce it or remove it by:

Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces of the oven.

•

Adjusting the receiving antenna of the radio or television.

• Moving the receiver away from the microwave oven.

• Plugging the microwave oven into a dierent outlet so that the microwave oven and receiver are on

•

dierent branch circuits.

TESTING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

To test the oven, put approximately 1 cup of cold water in a glass container in the oven. Close the door. Cook at 100% power for 1 minute. When the time is up, the water should be heated.

Page 8

OVERVIEW

TESTING YOUR DINNERWARE OR COOKWARE

Test dinnerware or cookware before using. To test a dish for safe use, put it into the oven with a cup of water beside it. Cook at 100% cook power for one minute. If the dish gets hot, do not use it. Some dishes (melamine, some ceramic dinnerware, etc.) absorb

OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Never lean on the door or allow a child to

• swing on it when the door is open. Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heat

• containers, but the heat from the food can make the container hot. Do not use newspaper or other printed paper in

• the oven.

Do not dry owers, fruit, herbs, wood, paper,

• gourds, or clothes in the oven. Do not start a microwave oven when it is empty.

• Product life may be shortened. If you practice programming the oven, put a container of water in the oven. It is normal for the oven door to look wavy after the oven has been running for a while.

Do not try to melt paran wax in the oven.

•

Paran wax will not melt in a microwave oven

because it allows microwaves to pass through it.

•

Do not operate the microwave oven unless the

glass turntable is securely in place and can move freely. The turntable can move in either direction. Make sure the turntable is correct-

side up in the oven. Handle your turntable with care when removing it from the oven to avoid

possibly breaking it. If your turntable cracks or breaks, contact your dealer for a replacement. When you use a browning dish, the browning

•

dish bottom must be at least 3 ⁄16 inch above

the turntable. Follow the directions supplied with the browning dish.

Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside

•

the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may

microwave energy, becoming too hot to handle and slowing cooking time. Cooking in metal containers not designed for microwave use could damage the oven, as could containers with hidden metal (twist-ties, foil lining, staples, metallic glaze or trim).

cause them to burst, and possibly damage the oven. Slice hard-boiled eggs before heating. In rare cases, poached eggs have been known to explode. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time of one minute before cutting into them.

For best results, stir any liquid several times

• during heating or reheating. Liquids heated in certain containers (especially containers shaped like cylinders) may become overheated. The liquid may splash out with a loud noise during or after heating or when adding ingredients

(coee granules, tea bags, etc.). This can harm

the oven.

Microwaves may not reach the center of a

• roast. The heat spreads to the center, from the outside, cooked areas just as in regular oven cooking. This is one of the reasons for letting some foods (for example, roasts or baked potatoes) stand for a while after cooking, or for stirring some foods during the cooking time.

Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable

•

utensils are not suitable and it is dicult to

maintain appropriate deep-frying temperatures.

Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the

•

recommended cooking time, potatoes should be

slightly rm because they will continue cooking

during standing time. After microwaving, let

potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will nish

cooking while standing.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

If your electric power line or outlet voltage is less

than 110 volts, cooking times may be longer. Have

a qualied electrician check your electrical system

HOW TO USE

AUTO DEFROST

Three defrost sequences are preset in the oven.

The auto defrost feature provides you with the best defrosting method for frozen foods. The Auto Defrost Table will show you which defrost sequence is recommended for the food you are defrosting. For added convenience, the Auto Defrost includes a built-in beep mechanism that reminds you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange to get best

defrost results. Three dierent defrost settings are

provided.

1 MEAT

2 POULTRY

3 FISH 4 BREAD 5 RAPID - only 1 lb.

* You can set Auto Defrost from 0.1 to 6.0 pounds

in each setting.

Example: To defrost 1.2 lbs of ground beef.

Touch: Display Shows:

meat touch 1 poultry touch 2 fish touch 3 bread touch 4 rapid touch 5

OPERATING TIPS

For best results, remove sh, shellsh, meat, and

• poultry from its original closed paper or plastic package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and juice close to the foods, which can cause the outer surface of the foods to cook.

•

For best results, shape your ground meat into

the form of a doughnut before freezing. When

defrosting, scrape o thawed meat when the

beep sounds and continue defrosting.

•

Place foods in a shallow container or on a

microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.

•

For more defrost help, please read “Defrosting

Tips” following the Auto Defrost Table.

This table shows you food type selections and the weights you can set for each type. For best results, loosen or remove covering on food.

DEFROSTING 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). Before starting, make sure you have removed

• any of the metal twist-ties which often come with frozen food bags, and replace them with strings or elastic bands. Open containers such as cartons before they are

•

placed in the oven.

Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or

• packaging. If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place

• food in a suitable container. Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as

• sausage. Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even

• defrosting. Always underestimate defrosting time. If

• defrosted food is still icy in the center, return it to the microwave oven for more defrosting.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

The length of defrosting time varies according to

• how solidly the food is frozen.

The shape of the package aects how quickly

• food will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than a deep block. As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces.

• Separated pieces defrost more easily. Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield

•

parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, sh

tails, or areas that start to get warm. Make sure the foil does not touch the sides, top, or bottom of the oven. The foil can damage the oven lining. For better results, let food stand after defrosting.

• ( For more information on standing time, see the

“Microwave Cooking Tips” section.)

Turn over food during defrosting or standing

• time. Break apart and remove food as required.

HOW TO USE

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 Sensing during the initial sensing period. 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 heat. The display will show the remaining heating time. For best results for cooking by Sensor, follow these recommendations.

1. Food cooked with the sensor system should be at normal storage temperature.

2. Glass Tray (TURNTABLE) and outside of

container should be dry to assure best cooking results.

3. Foods should always be covered with

microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a lid.

4. Do not open the door or touch the

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.

COOK SENSOR GUIDE

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good Sensor cooking results.

1. Always use microwavable containers and

cover them with lids or plastic wrap.

2. Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They

can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.

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.

When the cook time is over, you will hear four beeps and COOK END will display.

REHEAT SENSOR

Using REHEAT SENSOR lets you reheat common microwave-prepared foods without selecting cooking times and power levels.

TIPS FOR CONVECTION COOKING

This section gives you cooking instructions and procedures for operating each convection function. Please read these instructions carefully. Convection cooking circulates hot air through the oven cavity with a fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the food to heat the outer portion quickly,

creating even browning and sealed-in avor by the

constant motion of hot air over the food surfaces. Your oven uses convection cooking whenever you use the Convection Button. DO NOT USE THE OVEN

WITHOUT THE TURNTABLE IN PLACE.

Always use the metal rack on the turntable

1. when convection cooking.

Do not cover turntable or metal rack with

aluminum foil. It interferes with the ow of air

that cooks the food.

Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils

3. for many convection-only items. Choose pans that do not have extended handles.

Use convection cooking for items like soués,

4. breads, cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and

for some meat and sh cooking.

5. Your oven comes equipped with metal tray which can be used for cooking in convection mode or combination mode.

You do not need to use any special techniques

6. to adapt your favorite oven recipes to convection cooking; however, you need to lower oven temperature by 25°F from recommended temperature mentioned in package instructions when cooking packaged food in convection mode.

When baking cakes, cookies, breads, rolls,

7. or other baked foods, most recipes call for preheating. Preheat the empty oven just as you do a regular oven. You can start heavier dense foods such as meats, casseroles, and poultry without preheating.

8. All heat-proof cookware or metal utensils can be used in convection cooking.

As in conventional cooking, the distance of

the food from the heat source aects cooking

results. Refer to the charts in this Use and Care Guide.

Use metal utensils only for convection cooking.

10.

Never use for microwave or combination cooking since arcing and damage to the oven may occur. After preheating, if you do not open the

11.

door, the oven will automatically hold at the preheated temperature for 30 minutes.

PRECAUTIONS

•

The oven cavity, door, turntable, roller rest,

metal tray, metal rack, and cooking utensils will become very hot. USE THICK OVEN GLOVES when removing the food, cooking utensils, metal rack, metal tray, and turntable from the oven after convection cooking.

•

Do not use lightweight plastic containers, plastic

wraps, or paper products during any convection cycle.

Page 26

HOW TO USE

CONVECTION

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.

Note: Lower oven temperature by 25°F from

package recommended temperature, instructions. The

baking time may vary according to the food condition

or individual preference.

•

The oven temperature drops very quickly when

the door is opened; however, this should not prevent food from being fully cooked during normal cooking time.

•

During convection cooking, the exhaust fan in

the vent hood will automatically turn on at the 1-speed setting to protect the oven.

CONVECTION BAKING GUIDELINES

1. Always use the metal rack when convection baking. Place food directly on rack or place in metal tray and then place tray on rack. (See page 15.)

2. Aluminum pans conduct heat quickly. For most

convection baking, light, shiny nishes give best

results because they prevent over-browning in the time it takes to cook the center areas. Pans

with dull (satin-nish) bottoms are recommended

HOW TO USE

for cake pans and pie pans for best bottom browning.

3. Dark or non-shiny nishes, glass, and pyroceram

absorb heat which may result in dry, crisp crusts.

4. Preheating the oven is recommended when baking foods by convection.

5. To prevent uneven heating and save energy, open the oven door to check food as little as possible.

HOW TO USE

TIPS FOR COMBINATION COOKING

This section gives you instructions to operate each combination cooking function. Please read these instructions carefully. Sometimes combination microwave-convection cooking is suggested to get the best cooking results since it shortens the cooking time for foods that normally need a long time to cook. 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. Your oven has three preprogrammed settings that make it easy to use combination cooking.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR COMBINATION COOKING

1. Meats may be roasted directly on the metal

rack or in a shallow roasting pan placed on the rack. When using the metal rack, please check your cooking guide for information on proper use.

Less tender cuts of beef can be roasted and

2. tenderized using oven cooking bags.

When baking, check for doneness after cooking

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

PRECAUTIONS

1. All cookware used for combination cooking must be BOTH microwave-safe and oven-safe.

2. During combination baking, some baking cookware may cause arcing when it comes in contact with the oven walls or metal accessory racks. Arcing is a discharge of electricity that occurs when microwaves come in contact with metal.

— If arcing occurs, immediately stop the

cooking cycle and place a heat resistant dish between the pan and the metal rack.

— We recommend you use the metal tray

applied with your oven. It has rubber feet that helps prevent arcing.

— If arcing occurs with other baking cookware,

do not use them for combination cooking.

NOTES:

• The temperature range has 9 steps from 250°F to 450°F.

• During combination cooking, the exhaust fan in the vent hood will automatically turn on at the 1-speed setting to protect the oven.
