GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Observe all governing codes and ordinances. A 120-Volt,
60-Hz, AC-only, 20-amp fused electrical supply is
required. (A time-delay fuse is recommended.) It is
recommended that a separate circuit serving only this
appliance be provided.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
• For all cord connected appliances:
The microwave oven must be grounded. In the event of
an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. 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.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding can result in
a risk of electrical shock.
A DANGER
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3-prong
outlet. Do not remove ground
prong. Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
>1}
Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the microwave oven is properly
grounded.
(a) Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply
cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or
serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
(b) A short power supply cord is provided to reduce
the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
• For a permanently connected appliance:
Contact a qualified electrician to install.
Failure to follow these
instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
OVERVIEW
This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows you the basics 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’s 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
The glass turntable of your microwave oven lets
microwaves pass through. Then they bounce off a metal
floor, back through the glass turntable, and are
absorbed by the food.
Microwaves pass through most glass, paper, and
plastics without heating them so food absorbs the
energy. Microwaves bounce off 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 the food being 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, use wax paper,
or microwave-approved paper towels or plastic wrap.
Remember to turn back a corner of the plastic wrap
to vent steam during cooking.
• Always remove the cooking rack from the oven when
the rack is not in use.
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.
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.
• Moving the receiver away from the microwave oven.
• Plugging the microwave oven into a different outlet so
that the microwave oven and receiver are on different
branch circuits.
Cook at 100% power for 1 minute. When the time is up,
the water should be heated.
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 flowers, 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 paraffin wax in the oven. Paraffin
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 yourturntable 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.
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).
• Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside the shell.
Steam buildup in whole eggs may 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 (coffee 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 difficult to maintain appropriate
deep-frying temperatures.
• Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the
recommended cooking time, potatoes should be
slightly firm because they will continue cooking during
standing time. After microwaving, let potatoes stand
for 5 minutes. They will finish 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 qualified electrician check your electrical system.

OPERATING TIPS
• For best results, remove fish, shellfish, 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 off
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.

WEIGHT CONVERSION TABLE
You are probably used to food weights as being in pounds
and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for example, 4
ounces equals 1/4 pound). However, in order to enter food
weight in Auto Defrost, you must specify pounds and tenths
of a pound.
If the weight on the food package is in fractions of a pound,
you can use the following table to convert the weight to
decimals.
NOTE:
When you touch the START/ENTER pad, the display
changes to defrost time count down. The oven will beep
during the DEFROST cycle. At this time, open the door and
turn, separate, or rearrange the food.
Remove any portions that have thawed.
Return frozen portions to the oven and touch
START/ENTER to resume the defrost cycle.

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.
' Aiways slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging.
■ If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place it 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 affects 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, fish 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 то 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 STOP/CLEAR key
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.

TIPS FOR CONVECTION COOKING
HOW TO USE
This section gives you cooking instructions and
procedures for operating each convection function.
Piease read these instructions carefuiiy.
Convection cooking circuiates hot air through the oven
cavity with a fan. The constantiy moving air surrounds the
food to heat the outer portion quickiy, creating even
browning and seaied-in fiavor 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.
1. Always use the metal rack on the turntabie when
convection cooking.
2. Do not cover turntabie or metai rack with aiuminum
foii. it interferes with the fiow of air that cooks the food.
3. Round pizza pans are exceiient cooking utensiis for
many convection-oniy items.
Choose pans that do not have extended handies.
4. Use convection cooking for items iike soufflés,
breads, cookies, angei food cakes, pizza, and for some
meat and fish cooking.
5. Your oven comes equipped with metai tray which can
be used for cooking in convection mode or combination
mode.
6. You do not need to use any speciai techniques to
adapt your favorite oven recipes to convection cooking;
however, you need to iower oven temperature by 25°F
from recommended temperature mentioned in package
instructions when cooking packaged food in convection
mode.
7. When baking cakes, cookies, breads, roiis, or other
baked foods, most recipes caii for preheating. Preheat
the empty oven just as you do a reguiar oven. You can
start heavier dense foods such as meats, casseroies,
and pouitry without preheating.
8. All heatproof cookware or metai utensiis can be used
in convection cooking.
9. As in conventional cooking, the distance of the food
from the heat source affects cooking resuits. Refer to
the charts in this Use and Care Guide.
10. Use metai utensiis oniy for convection cooking.
Never use for microwave or combination cooking since
arcing and damage to the oven may occur.
11. After preheating, if you do not open the door, the
oven wiii automaticaiiy hoid at the preheated
temperature for 30 minutes.
PRECAUTIONS
• The oven cavity, door, turntabie, roiier rest, metai tray,
metai rack, and cooking utensiis wiii become very hot.
USE THiCK OVEN GLOVES when removing the food,
cooking utensiis, metai rack, metai tray, and turntabie
from the oven after convection cooking.
• Do not use iightweight piastic containers, piastic wraps,
or paper products during any convection cycie.
23
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.
NOTES:
• When the oven reaches the set preheat temperature, five
(5) tones will sound and the display will scroll the
message “PREHEAT END”. The oven will automatically
hold that temperature for 30 minutes.
• 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.
NOTE:
The temperature range has 10 steps from 100°F to 450°F.
24
CONVECTION BAKING GUIDELINES
HOW TO USE
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 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.

HOW TO USE
TIPS FOR COMBINATION COOKINGCOMBINATION ROAST
This section gives you instructions to operate each
combination cooking function. Piease read these
instructions carefuiiy. Sometimes combination
microwave-convection cooking is suggested to get the
best cooking resuits since it shortens the cooking time
for foods that normaiiy need a iong time to cook. This
cooking process aiso ieaves meats juicy on the inside
and crispy on the outside, in combination cooking, the
convection heat and microwave energy aiternate
automaticaiiy. Your oven has three preprogrammed
settings that make it easy to use combination cooking.
HELPFUL HINTS FOR COMBINATION
COOKING
1. Meats may be roasted directiy on the metai rack or in
a shaiiow roasting pan piaced on the rack. When using
the metai rack, piease 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 compieteiy done, iet stand in oven for a
few minutes to compiete cooking.
Example: To roast with combination cooking for 45
minutes at 400°F.

PRECAUTIONS
1. Aii 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 waiis or metai accessory racks. Arcing is a
discharge of eiectricity that occurs when microwaves
come in contact with metai.
— if arcing occurs, immediateiy stop the cooking cycie
and piace a heat resistant dish between the pan
and the metai rack.
— We recommend you use the metai tray appiied with
your oven, it has rubber feet that heips prevent
arcing.
— if arcing occurs with other baking cookware, do not
use them for combination cooking.

HOW TO USE
HEATING / REHEATING GUIDE
To heat or reheat successfully in a microwave oven, it is important to follow several guidelines. Measure the amount of
food in order to determine the time needed to reheat. Arrange the food in a circular pattern for best results. Room
temperature food will heat faster than refrigerated food. Canned foods should be taken out of the can and placed in a
microwave-safe container. The food will heat more evenly if covered with a microwave-safe lid or vented plastic wrap.
Remove cover carefully to prevent steam burns. Use the following chart as a guide for reheating cooked food.

CARE AND CLEANING
To make sure your microwave oven looks good and works well for a long time, you should
maintain it properly. For proper care, please follow these instructions carefully.
For interior surfaces: Wash often with warm, sudsy water
and a sponge or soft cloth. Use
only mild, nonabrasive soaps or
a mild detergent. Be sure to
keep the areas clean where
the door and oven frame
touch when closed. Wipe well
with clean cloth.
Over time, stains can occur on
the surfaces as the result of
food particles spattering during
cooking. This is normal.
For stubborn soil, boil a cup of water in the oven for 2 to 3
minutes. Steam will soften the
soil. To get rid of odors inside
the oven, boil a cup of water
with some lemon juice or
vinegar in it.
To clean grass tray and rotating ring, wash in mild, sudsy
water; for heavily soiled areas
use a mild cleanser and
scouring sponge. The glass
tray and rotating ring are
dishwasher safe.
For exterior surfaces and control panel: Use a soft cloth
with spray glass cleaner. Apply
the spray glass cleaner to the
soft cloth; do not spray directly
on the oven.
NOTE: Abrasive cleansers,
steel wool pads, gritty wash
cloths, some paper towels,
etc., can
damage the control panel and
the interior and exterior oven
surfaces.
34
CARE AND CLEANING
CARING FOR THE FILTERS
The grease filters should be removed and cleaned often, at least once a month.
NOTE: If your microwave hood combination is installed to recirculate air, the chacoal filter (Part No.5230W1 A003A) is available
from Sears by calling 1-800-4-MY-HOME®. The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned and should be replaced every 6 to 12 months.
Grease filters (Part No.2B72705B):
1. Unplug microwave oven or disconnect power.
2. To remove grease filters, slide each filter to the side. Pull
filters downward and push to the other side. The filter will
drop out.
3. Soak grease filters in hot water and a mild detergent. Scrub
and swish to remove embedded dirt and grease. Rinse
well and shake to dry. Do not clean filters with ammonia,
corrosive cleaning agents such as lye-based oven cleaners,
or place them in a dishwasher. The filters will turn black or
could be damaged.
CHARCOAL FILTER REPLACEMENT
If your oven is vented 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.
1. Disconnect power or unplug microwave oven.
2. Remove the two vent grille mounting screws. Slide vent
grille slightly to the left.
3. Tip the grille forward; then lift out to remove.
4. Remove old filter.
4. To replace grease filters, slide filter in the frame slot on one
side of the opening. Push filter upward and push to the other
side to lock into place.
5. Plug in microwave oven or reconnect power.
5. Slide a new charcoal filter into place. The filter should rest
at the angle shown.
6. Push the vent grille into place. Slide the grille to the right
until it snaps into place.
7. Replace the mounting screws.
8. Reconnect power or plug in microwave oven.

COOKING TIPS
Amount of food
• If you increase or decrease the amount of food you
prepare, the time It takes to cook that food will also
change. For example, if you double a recipe, add a
little more than half the original cooking time. Check
for doneness and, if necessary, add more time in small
Increments.
Starting temperature of food
• The lower the temperature of the food being put Into
the microwave oven, the longer it takes to cook. Food
at room temperature will be reheated more quickly than
food at refrigerator temperature.
Composition of food
• Food with a lot of fat and sugar will be heated faster
than food containing a lot of water. Fat and sugar will
also reach a higher temperature than water in the cooking
process.
• The more dense the food, the longer it takes to heat.
“Very dense” food like meat takes longer to heat than
lighter, more porous food like sponge cakes.
Size and shape
• Smaller pieces of food will cook faster than larger
pieces. Also, same-shaped pieces cook more evenly than
different-shaped pieces.
• With foods that have different thicknesses, the thinner
parts will cook faster than the thicker parts. Place the
thinner parts of chicken wings and legs in the center of
the dish.
Stirring, turning foods
• stirring and turning foods spreads heat quickly to the
center of the dish and avoids overcooking at the outer
edges of the food.
Releasing pressure in foods
• Several foods (for example, baked potatoes, sausages,
egg yolks, and some fruits) are tightly covered by a skin
or membrane. Steam can build up under the membrane
during cooking, causing the food to burst. To relieve the
pressure and to prevent bursting, pierce these foods
before cooking with a fork, cocktail pick, or toothpick.
Using standing time
• Always allow food to stand after cooking. Standing time
after defrosting and cooking allows the temperature to
evenly spread throughout the food, improving the cooking
results.
• The length of the standing time depends on how much
food you are cooking and how dense It is. Sometimes
it can be as short as the time it takes you to remove
the food from the oven and take it to the serving table.
Flowever, with larger, denser food, the standing time may
be as long as 10 minutes.
Arranging food
For best results, place food evenly on the plate. You can do
this in several ways:
• If you are cooking several items of the same food,
such as baked potatoes, place them in a ring pattern for
uniform cooking.
• When cooking foods of uneven shapes or thickness,
such as chicken breasts, place the smaller or thinner
area of the food towards the center of the dish where it
will be heated last.
• Layer thin slices of meat on top of each other.
• When you cook or reheat whole fish, score the skin -
this prevents cracking.
• Do not let food or a container touch the top or sides
of the oven. This will prevent possible arcing.
Covering food
Cover food to:
• Reduce splattering
• Shorten cooking times
• Keep food moist
You can use any covering that lets microwaves pass
through. See How Your Microwave Hood Combination
Works on page 5 for materials that microwaves will pass
through. If you are using the Sensor function, be sure to
vent.
Using aluminum foil
Metal containers should not be used in a microwave oven.
There are, however, some exceptions. If you have
purchased food which is prepackaged in an aluminum foil
container, refer to the instructions on the package. When
using aluminum foil containers, cooking times may be
longer because microwaves will only penetrate the top of
the food. If you use aluminum containers without package
instructions, follow these guidelines:
37
COOKING TIPS
Using aluminum foil (cont.)
• Place the container in a glass bowl and add some water
so that it covers the bottom of the container, not more
than 1/4-in. (.64-cm) high. This ensures even heating of
the container bottom.
• Always remove the lid to avoid damage to the oven.
• Use only undamaged containers.
• Do not use containers taller than 3^4 In. (1.9 cm).
• Container must be at least half filled.
• To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum 1/4 in.
(.64 cm) between the aluminum container and the walls
of the oven and also between two aluminum containers.
• Always place the container on the turntable.
• Shield with small pieces of aluminum foil the parts of
food that may cook quickly, such as wing tips and leg
ends of poultry.
• Heating food In aluminum foil containers usually takes
up to double the time compared to reheating in plastic,
glass, china, or paper containers.
The time when food is ready will vary depending upon
the type of container you use.
• Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after heating so that
heat is spread evenly throughout the container.

COOKING COMPARISON GUIDE
COOKING TIPS
Cooking with your new oven offers a wide variety of food
preparation options: microwave cooking, convection
cooking, and combination cooking.
Microwave cooking uses very short, high-frequency radio
waves. The movement of the microwaves through the food
generates heat and cooks most foods faster than regular
methods, while retaining their natural texture and moisture.
Microwave cooking heats food directly, not the cookware
or the interior of the oven. Reheating is easy and
defrosting is particularly convenient because less time is
spent in food preparation.
Convection cooking constantly circulates heated air
around the food, creating even browning and sealed-in
flavor by the constant motion of hot air over the food
surfaces.
MICROWAVECONVECTIONCOMBINATION
Combination cooking combines microwave energy with
convection to cook with speed and accuracy, while
browning and crisping to perfection.
You can use microwave cooking, convection cooking, or
combination cooking to cook by time. Simply preset the
length of cooking time desired and your oven turns off
automatically.
The following guide shows at a glance the difference
between microwave, convection, and combination cooking.

COOKING TIPS
COOKWARE GUIDE
Microwave Cooking
Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe for use
in your microwave oven.
However, to test cookware before using, foiiow these steps:
1. Piace the empty cookware in the microwave oven.
2. Measure 1 cup of water in a giass measuring cup and
piace it in the oven beside the cookware.
3. Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute, if the dish is
warm, it should not be used for microwave cooking.
Convection Cooking
• Metai Pans are recommended for aii types of baked
products, but especiaiiy where browning or crusting is
important.
• Dark or duii finish metai pans are best for breads and pies
because they absorb heat and produce a crisper crust.
• Shiny aiuminum pans are better for cakes, cookies, or
muffins because these pans refiect heat and heip produce
a iight, tender crust.
• Giass or giass-ceramic casseroie or baking dishes are
best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to the
cieanabiiity of giass.
Combination Cooking
• Giass or giass-ceramic baking containers are
recommended. Be sure not to use items with metai trim as
it may cause arcing (sparking) with oven waii or oven
sheif, damaging the cookware, the sheif or the oven.
• Heat-resistant piastic microwave cookware (safe to 450°F)
may be used, but is not recommended for foods that
require crusting or aii-around browning, because piastic is
a poor conductor of heat.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
QUESTIONSANSWERS
Can 1 operate my microwave oven without the glass tray
or move the glass tray over to hold a large dish?
Can 1 use either metal or aluminum pans in my microwave
oven?
Is it normal for the guide tray to move in either direction?
Why does the dish become hot when 1 microwave food in it?
1 thought that this should not happen.
What does “standing time” mean?
Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?
Can 1 pop popcorn in my microwave oven?
How do 1 get the best results?
No. If you remove or move the glass tray, you will get poor
cooking results. Dishes used in your oven must fit on the
glass or guide tray.
You can use aluminum foil for shielding (use small, flat
pieces), small skewers, and shallow foil trays (if tray is not
taller than 2/4-m. [1.9-cm] deep and is filled with food to
absorb microwave energy). Never allow metal to touch
walls or door.
Yes. The guide tray moves from side to side, depending on
the rotation of the motor when the cooking cycle begins.
As the food becomes hot, it will conduct the heat to the
dish. Be prepared to use hot pads to remove food after
cooking.
“Standing time” means that food should be removed from
the oven and covered for additional time to allow it to finish
cooking. This will allow the oven to be available for use.
Steam is normally produced during cooking. The
microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam out
of the vents.
Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following
manufacturer’s guidelines. Do not use regular paper bags.
Do not repop unpopped kernels. Do not pop popcorn in
glass cookware.
