,WARNING!

ARCING

If you see arcing, press the STOP/CLEAR button and correct the problem.

Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:

Metal or foil touching the side of the oven. Turntable support not installed correctly. Metal cookware used during either speedcook or

microwave cooking (except for the pans provided

with the oven).

Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas). Use foil only as recommeded in this guide.

Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins or gold-rimmed dishes, in the microwave.

Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces being used in the microwave.

,WARNING!

FOODS

• When microwaving, place all foods and containers on the glass microwave turntable.

• Do not pop popcorn in your oven unless in a special microwave popcorn accessory or unless you use popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.

Do not boil eggs in this oven. Pressure will build up inside egg yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly resulting in injury.

Do not operate the oven without food inside. This may cause damage to the oven. It increases the heat around the magnetron and can shorten

the life of the oven.

• Foods with unbroken outer "skin" such as potatoes, hot dogs, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and egg yolks should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.

SUPERHEATED WATER Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea are able to be

overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. 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 ORA SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

-- Do not overheat the liquid.

-- Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

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

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

the container.

-- Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other

5 utensil into the container.

The turntable support must

always be in place when

using the oven.

The glass microwave

turntable should always be

in place when microwaving.

MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE

Make sure to use suitable cookware during microwave cooking. Most glass

casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china

dinnerware which does not have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can

be used. Some cookware is labeled "suitable for microwaving."

Place food or microwavable container directly on the glass microwave turntable

to cook your food. Use of the black metal tray during

microwave cooking will result in inferior cooking performance.

If you are not sure if a dish is microwave-safe, use this test: Place in the oven both the dish you are testing and a glass measuring cup filled with

1 cup of water--set the measuring cup

either in or next to the dish. Microwave 30-45 seconds at high. If the dish heats,

it should not be used for microwaving. If the dish remains cool and only the

water in the cup heats, then the dish is microwave-safe.

Cookware may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food.

Oven mitts may be needed to handle the cookware.

Do not use recycled paper products. Recycled paper towels, napkins and waxed paper can contain metal flecks which may cause arcing or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or nylon filaments should be avoided, as they may also ignite.

Use foil only as directed in this guide. TV dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less than 314" high; remove the top foil cover and return the tray to the box. When using foil in the oven, keep the foil at least 1 inch away from the

sides of the oven.

Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.

If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is safe for use

in microwave ovens.

Some styrofoam trays (like those that meat is packaged on) have a thin strip

of metal embedded in the bottom. When microwaved, the metal can burn the floor

of the oven or ignite a paper towel.

Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap can be used to cover dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap so steam can escape.

• Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens. Check the package for proper use.

"Boilable" cooking pouches and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as directed by package. If they are not, plastic could burst during or immediately after cooking, possibly resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage containers should be at least partially uncovered because they form a tight seal. When cooking with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove covering carefully and direct steam away from hands and face.

Plastic cookware--Plastic cookware designed for microwave cooking is very

useful, but should be used carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as are glass or ceramic materials and may soften or char if subjected to short periods of overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooking, the food and cookware could ignite.

Follow these guidelines:

1. Use microwave-safe plastics only and use them in strict compliance

with the cookware manufacturer's

recommendations.

2. Do not microwave empty containers.

3. Do not permit children to use plastic cookware without complete supervision.

The turntable support

must always be in place

when using the oven.

Put food or non-metal,

oven-safe cookware directly

on the black metal tray

for speedcooking, baking

or warming.

OVEN-SAFE COOKWARE FOR SPEEDCOOK, CONVECTION

BAKE AND WARMING FEATURES

The oven and door will get very hot when speedcooking or using the

convection bake feature.

Cookware will become hot. Oven mitts will be needed to handle the cookware.

Do not use coverings, containers or cooking/roasting bags made of foil, plastic, wax or paper when speedcooking.

Do not cover the turntable support, trays or any part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause arcing in the oven.

GROUNDING iNSTRUCTiONS

• Use the black metal flat tray in the same way you would use a shallow baking

pan or baking tray.

• Place food or oven-safe cookware directly on the trays when cooking.

Any oven-safe dish can be used in your oven. Recipes in the cookbook included with your oven were tested in Pyrexc>and

Anchor Hocking_ glass cookware and Corningware <_ceramic casseroles, Cooktimes and results may vary when

using other types of oven-safe dishes.

Place them directly on the black metal tray,

• Do not use the oven to dry newspapers,

Use of the glass microwave turntable with the speedcook or convection bake features will result in inferior cooking

performance.

Ensure proper ground exists before use.

WARNING!

improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the

electric current. This appliance is equipped with a power

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

Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

THE VENT FAN

The fan will operate automatically under certain conditions (see Automatic Fan

feature). Take care to prevent the starting

and spreading of accidental cooking fires

while the vent fan is in use.

• Clean the underside of the oven often. Do not allow grease to build up on the

microwave or the fan filters.

• In the event of a grease fire on the surface units below the oven, smother a flaming pan on the surface unit by covering the pan completely with a lid, a cookie sheet or a flat tray.

If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

Do not use an adapter plug with this appliance.

Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short,

have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the

appliance. For best operation, plug this appliance

into its own electrical outlet to prevent

flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or

tripping of circuit breaker.

• Use care when cleaning the vent fan filters. Corrosive cleaning agents, such

as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the filters.

• When preparing flaming foods under the

oven, turn the vent fan on. Never leave surface units beneath your

oven unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread if the oven vent fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate sized cookware and use high heat on surface units only when necessary.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This Speedcook Oven uses breakthrough Advantium <R_120 technology to harness the power of light. The Speedcook

oven cooks the outside of foods much like conventional radiant heat, while also penetrating the surface so the

inside cooks simultaneously. While radiant heat is the primary source of power, a "microwave boost" is added

with certain foods. Foods cook evenly and fast, retaining

their natural moisture.

SPEEDCOOK

START/ENTER

SPEEDCOOK POWER LEVEL

This oven uses power from a high intensity halogen light, ceramic heaters and microwaves simultaneously to cook food from the top, bottom and interior to seal

in moisture and flavor. When using the pre-set speedcook recipes

on the food menu, the power levels are already selected for you. However, these power levels can be adjusted before or during cooking. Also, the manual cook feature allows you to speedcook items not on the pre-set food menu by selecting your own cook time and power level settings.

Each power level gives you heater power and microwave energy for a certain percentage of the time.

UPPER POWER (U) controls both the upper heater and microwave power. A higher UPPER POWER setting will use more upper heater power, browning food faster on top. A lower UPPER POWER setting uses more microwave power, causing food to cook more evenly throughout. Select a higher setting for foods such as pizza and baked goods. Select a lower setting for foods such as casseroles, meat and fish.

LOWER POWER (L) controls the lower heater. Select a higher setting to brown

foods more on the bottom. Select a lower setting for less browning on the bottom.

1. Press the SPEEDCOOK button and turn the dial to select FOOD MENU or

MANUAL COOK. Press the dial to enter.

2. Follow instructions from "TO USE A PRE-SET SPEEDCOOK MENU" or

"MANUAL COOK".

To change the power level when prompted by the display, turn the

dial clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the

upper power level. Press the dial to enter.

4. Turn the dial to change the lower power

level. Press the dial to enter.

5. Press the START/ENTER button or the selector dial to start cooking.

THINGS THAT ARE NORMAL DURING SPEEDCOOKING

Cooking Times

• When speedcooking preprogrammed foods, you may see OPTIMIZING COOK TIME in the display several seconds after you press START. The oven automatically senses the electrical voltage level in your home and adjusts the cooking time up or down for proper cooking.

Fan/Vent

The fan will come on during cooking. At the end of cooking, the automatic fan will continue to run for a short time, and the display will read Oven is Cooling. The fan will automatically shut off when the internal parts of

the oven have cooled.

The exhaust fan may come on automatically if the cooktop is in use.

The oven vent will emit warm air while the oven is on.

Lights

= When the oven is on, light may be

visible around the door or outer case.

Heaters

• No preheating is required. The oven begins cooking immediately.

= The door and inside of the oven will be

very hot. Use caution when opening the door and removing food.

= Do not use cookware or coverings made

of paper, plastic or foil when cooking during a speedcook cycle.

When cooking for an extended period of time, the oven may automatically reduce the power levels to maintain the appropriate level of oven heat.

Sounds

• Clicks and a fan blowing are normal sounds during cooking. The relay board is turning components on and off.

• The heaters will dim and cycle on and off during a speedcook cycle, sometimes even at full power levels.

This is normal. The oven senses the heat level and adjusts automatically.

CONVECTION BAKING

The turntable support

must always be in place

when using the oven.

Put food or oven-safe

cookware directly on the

black metal tray to bake.

CONVE_ION

STaRT/ENTFR

Convection baking allows you to cook

foods the same way as a conventional

oven, using a heating element to raise the temperature of the air inside the oven. Any oven temperature from 250°F to 450°F may be set. A fan gently circulates this heated air throughout the oven, over and around the food, producing golden brown exteriors and rich, moist interiors.

Because the heated air is kept constantly moving, not permitting a layer of cooler air to develop around the food, some foods cook slightly faster than in regular oven cooking.

CONVECTION BAKING WITH PREHEAT

1. Press the CONVECTION button.

When using the CONVECTION BAKE mode to cook baked goods such as cakes, brownies, cookies, pies, rolls, etc., reduce the oven temperature 25°F-40°F from the recipe to prevent overbrowning of baked goods.

Turn the dial to set the oven temperature and press dial to start

preheating. Do not place the food in the oven. (You will be prompted to enter the cook time, after the oven is preheated.)

When the oven is finished preheating, it will signal. If you do not open the door within 1 hour, the oven will turn off automatically. Open the oven door and, using caution, place the food in

the oven.

Before you begin, make sure the turntable support is in place. Use the black metal tray at all times when baking.

CAUTION: When baking, remember that the oven, door and dishes will be very hot!

4. Close the oven door. Turn the dial to set the cook time and press

START/ENTER to start cooking. When cooking is complete, the oven

will signal and turn off.

You may change the oven temperature during preheating by pressing the POWER button and turning the dial to select the new temperature.

If the oven door is opened during cooking, PAUSE will appear in the display. Close the door and press START/ENTER.

Cook times are shown in minutes and can be a maximum of 179 minutes.

MICROWAVE

MICROWAVE SENSOR FEATURES

START/ENTEa

Some microwave features are sensor

functions that detect the increasing

humidity released during cooking. The oven automatically adjusts the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.

When using sensor features, do not open the oven door until time is counting down in the display. If the door is opened, close it and press START/ENTER immediately.

Do not use the Sensor Features twice in succession on the same food portion

--it may result in severely overcooked or burnt food. If food is undercooked

after the countdown, use COOK TIME in the microwave selector for additional

cooking time. To subtract time from a sensor program:

Within the first 30 seconds after the oven starts, turn the dial counterclockwise to

subtract 10% (-) from the automatic time.

Additional turning will subtract 20% (- -) from the automatic time.

To add time to a sensor program: Within the first 30 seconds after the oven

starts, turn the dial clockwise to add 10% (+) to the automatic time. Additional turning

will add 20% (+ +) to the automatic time.

If you have been speedcooking or baking and the oven is already hot, it may indicate that it is too hot for sensor cooking. Of course, you can always

continue with the non-sensor functions.

The proper containers and covers are essential for best sensor

cooking.

• Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with lids or vented

plastic wrap. Never use tight sealing plastic containers--they can prevent steam from escaping and cause food

to overcook.

• Be sure the outside of the cooking containers and the inside of the oven

are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam

can mislead the sensor.

• Beverages are best heated uncovered.

Covered

Vented

To shorten or lengthen the cook time, wait until the time countdown shows in

the display. Then turn the dial to add or subtract time.

• Drinks reheated with the BEVERAGE feature may be very hot. Remove the

container with care. If you open the door while sensor

cooking, SENSOR ERROR will appear. Close the door and press START/ENTER to begin again.
