qualified service personnel. Call an authorized service
company for examination, repair or adjustment.

• See door surface cleaning instructions in the "Care and

Cleaning" section.

• To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

- Do not overcook food. Carefully attend to the
microwave oven when paper, plastic or other
combustible materials are placed inside the oven

to facilitate cooking.

- Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags
before placing bags in oven.

- If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven door
closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord,
or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

- Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not
leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the
cavity when not in use.

• Suitable for use above both gas and electric cooking
equipment.

• Intended to be used above ranges with maximum width
of 36 inches (91 cm).

• Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.

• When cooking foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

• Use care when cleaning the vent-hood filter. Corrosive

cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may
damage the filter.

• Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not

• Do not mount over a sink.

• Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with

metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.

• Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be
overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing

to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible

bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from

the microwave oven is not always present. THIS

COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY
BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS
DISTURBED OR WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL

IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of
injury to persons:

1) Do not overheat the liquid.

2) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating it.

3) Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow
necks.

4) After heating, allow the container to stand
in the microwave oven for a short time before

removing the container.

5) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other
utensil into the container.

(a} Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door

open since open-door operation can result in harmful
exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to
defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.

(b} Do not place any object between the oven front face

and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to
accumulate on sealing surfaces.

(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is

particularly important that the oven door close

properly and that there is no damage to the:
(1) Door (bent),
(2) Hinges and latches (broken or loosened),
(3) Door seals and sealing surfaces.

(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by

anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

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.

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.

Failure to follow these

instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

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.

This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows you the basics you need to know to operate your
microwave oven. Pleaseread 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 likeTV 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 floor Glass tray

\

_'_Ovencavity

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 interferenceto 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.

• 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.

• Adjusting the receiving antenna of the radio or television.

TESTING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

I o testthe oven, put approximately 1 cup of cold waterin a glass container in the oven. Closethe door.

Cook at 100% power for 1minute. When the time is up,
the water should be heated.

I

5

TESTING YOUR DINNERWARE OR COOKWARE

Test dinnerware or cookware before using. Totest

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

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).

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 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 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.

MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS

For best results, some recipes call for different cook

powers. The lower the cook power, the slower the cooking.

Each number from 10 to 0 stands for a

different percentage of full cook power.
The following chart gives the percentage of cook power
each number pad stands for, and the cook power name
usually used.

It also tells you when to use each cook power. Follow

recipe or food package instructions if available.

NOTE: Refer to a reliable cookbook for cooking times
based on the 950 Watt cook power of your microwave

oven.

Return frozen portions to the oven and touch

START/ENTER to resume the defrost cycle.

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.

FOOD TOUCH WEIGHTS YOU CAN SET

Auto Defrost (tenths of a pound)

Meat 1 .1 to 6.0 (45g to 2722g)
Poultry 2 .1 to 6.0 (45g to 2722g)

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.

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 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.

•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.

SENSOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS POPCORN SENSOR

Sensor Cook allows you tocook 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 tellthe 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 isover, 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 ofthe container.
Fillcontainers at least half full for best results.

4. Besure 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.

times and power.

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 flavor 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 turntable when
convection cooking.

2. Do not cover turntable or metal rack with aluminum
foil. It interferes with the flow of air that cooks the food.

3. Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils for
many convection-only items.

Choose pans that do not have extended handles.

4. Use convection cooking for items like souffles,
breads, cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and for some

meat and fish cooking.

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

mode.

6. You do not need to use any special techniques 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.

7. When baking cakes, cookies, breads, rolls, 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 heatproof cookware or metal utensils can be used
in convection cooking.

9. As in conventional cooking, the distance of the food
from the heat source affects cooking results. Refer to

the charts in this Use and Care Guide.

10. Use metal utensils only 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 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.

23

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.

Example: To set the convection cooking at 325°F for 45

minutes with preheating.

NOTE:

The temperature range has 10 steps from 100°F to 450°F.

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.

24

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 finishes give best results
because they prevent overbrowning inthe 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.

5. To prevent uneven heating and save energy, open the

oven door to check food as little as possible.

TIPS FOR COMBINATION COOKING COMBINATION ROAST

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.

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.

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.

Example: To roast with combination cooking for 45
minutes at 400°F.

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.

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.

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.

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.

However, 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.

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

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 you should not do in your

microwave oven

• Do not do canning of foods in the oven. Closed glass
jars may explode, resulting in damage to the oven.

• Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize objects (baby

bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at the high

temperature needed for sterilization.

Removing the rack

• When popping commercially packaged popcorn, remove
the rack from the oven, Do not place the bag of

microwave popcorn on the rack or under the rack.

• In the case of popping microwave popcorn with the rack,
that can cause fire or damage to your microwave oven.

COOKING COMPARISON GUIDE

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.

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
METHOD

MICROWAVE

Microwave energy is distributed
evenly throughout the oven for
fast, thorough cooking of food.

CONVECTION

Hot air circulates around food to
produce browned exteriors and

sealed-in juices.

COMBINATION

Microwave energy and

convection heat combine to

shorten the cooking time of
regular ovens, while browning
and sealing in juices.

HEAT Microwave energy. Circulating heated air. Microwave energy and
SOURCE circulating heated air.

BENEFITS • Fast, high efficiency

cooking.

• Oven and surroundings do not
get hot.

•Aids in browning and seals in
flavor.

•Cooks some foods faster
than regular ovens.

•Shortened cooking time from
microwave energy.

•Browning and crisping
from convection heat.

• Easy clean-up.

COOKWARE GUIDE

Microwave Cooking

Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe for use
in your microwave oven.
However, to test cookware before using, follow these steps:

1. Place the empty cookware in the microwave oven.

2. Measure 1 cup of water in a glass measuring cup and
place 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

•Metal Pans are recommended for all types of baked
products, but especially where browning or crusting is
important.

•Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and pies
because they absorb heat and produce a crisper crust.

•Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies, or
muffins because these pans reflect heat and help produce

a light, tender crust.

•Glass or glass-ceramic casserole or baking dishes are
best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to the

cleanability of glass.

Combination Cooking

•Glass or glass-ceramic baking containers are
recommended. Be sure not to use items with metal trim as

it may cause arcing (sparking) with oven wall or oven
shelf, damaging the cookware, the shelf or the oven.

• Heat-resistant plastic microwave cookware (safe to 450°F)
may be used, but is not recommended for foods that
require crusting or all-around browning, because plastic is
a poor conductor of heat.

QUESTIONS ANSWERS

Can I operate my microwave oven without the glass tray No. If you remove or move the glass tray, you will get poor
or move the glass tray over to hold a large dish? cooking results. Dishes used in your oven must fit on the

glass or guide tray.

Can I 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 I microwave food in it?

I thought that this should not happen.

What does "standing time" mean?

Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?

Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven?

How do I get the best results?

You can use aluminum foil for shielding (use small, flat
pieces), small skewers, and shallow foil trays (if tray is not

taller than 3/4-in. [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.
