MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS
Using Aluminum Foil
Metal containers should not be used in a microwave oven. However, 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 exposed top of the food and not the bottom or the sides. If using aluminum containers without package instructions, follow these guidelines:
• Place

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS
COOKWARE GUIDE
Microwave Cooking
Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe for use in the microwave oven. Testing Cookware Before Using
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 nish 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 mufns because these pans reect heat and help
produce a light, tender crust.
• Glass or glass-ceramic casserole or baking dishes
are best suited for egg and cheese recipes to provide easy cleanup.

Combination Cooking
• Glass or glass-ceramic baking containers are
recommended. Do not use items with metal trim as they 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

SENSOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Sensor Cook cooks favorite foods without selecting cooking times and power levels. 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 tells the oven how much longer to heat. The display shows the remaining heating time. For best results when sensor cooking, follow these recommendations.
1. Food cooked with the sensor system should be at normal storage temperature.
2. The glass tray and the outside of the container should be dry to assure best cooking results.
3. Foods should always be covered loosely with microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a lid.
4. Do not open the door or touch 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.

SENSOR COOKING GUIDE
Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good sensor cooking results.
1. Always use microwavable containers and cover them with lids or vented 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
This section provides cooking instructions and procedures for each convection function.
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 through
the constant motion of hot air over the food surfaces. To use convection cooking, turn the dial to select the Convection or Combination modes.

TIPS FOR COMBINATION COOKING
This section provides instructions for each combination cooking function. Combination microwave-convection cooking shortens the cooking time for foods that normally need a long time to cook. It also leaves meat juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. In combination cooking, the convection heat and microwave energy alternate automatically. The oven has three preprogrammed settings that make it easy to use combination 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.
- Use the metal tray supplied with the oven. It has
rubber feet that help prevent arcing.
- If arcing occurs with other baking cookware, do not
use them for combination cooking.

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 the 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, read Defrosting Tips following
the Auto Defrost Table.
For best results, loosen or remove coverings on food.

COOKING GUIDE
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.
2. Aluminum pans conduct heat quickly. For most
convection baking, light, shiny nishes give best
results because they prevent overbrowning in the time it takes to cook the center areas. Pans with dull
(satin-nish) bottoms are recommended for cake
pans and pie pans for best bottom browning.

3. Dark or non-shiny nishes, glass, and pyroceramic
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 seldom as possible.

COOKING GUIDE
HEATING/REHEATING GUIDE
To heat or reheat successfully in a microwave oven, follow these 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 the cover carefully to prevent steam burns. Use the following chart as a guide for reheating cooked food.

MICROWAVE UTENSIL GUIDE
USE DO NOT USE
OVENPROOF GLASS
(treated for high intensity heat): utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and bowls without metallic trim.
CHINA:
bowls, cups, serving plates, and platters without metallic trim.
PLASTIC:
Plastic wrap (as a cover)- lay the plastic wrap loosely over the dish and press it to the sides. Vent plastic wrap by turning back one edge slightly to allow excess steam to escape. The dish should be deep enough so that the plastic wrap will not touch the food. As the food heats it may melt the plastic wrap wherever the wrap touches the food. Use plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer containers and plastic bags
short cooking time. Use these with care because the plastic may soften from the heat of the food.
only for
METAL UTENSILS:
Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces uneven cooking. Also avoid metal skewers, thermometers, or foil trays. Metal utensils can cause arcing, which can damage the microwave oven.
METAL DECORATION:
Metal-trimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc. The metal trim interferes with normal cooking and may damage the oven.
ALUMINUM FOIL:
Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking and may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the side walls and door of the oven.
WOOD:
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when you use them in the microwave oven. Baskets react in the same way.
TIGHTLY COVERED UTENSILS:
Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered utensils. Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before cooking. Tightly closed pouches could explode.
PAPER:
Paper towels, waxed paper, paper napkins, and paper plates with no metallic trim or design. Look for the manufacturer's label for use in the microwave oven.
Note:
Do not use recycled paper products in the microwave oven. They sometimes contain impurities that cause arcing and sparking.
NEVER use paper products in the convection oven.
BROWN PAPER:
Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb too much heat and could burn.
FLAWED OR CHIPPED UTENSILS:
Any utensil that is cracked, awed, or chipped may break in the
oven.
METAL TWIST TIES:
Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags.
They become hot and could cause a re.

TROUBLESHOOTING
BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
Check the following list to be sure a service call is really necessary. A quick reference of this manual as well as reviewing additional information on items to check may prevent an unneeded service call.
If nothing on the oven operates:
• check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit
breaker.
• check if oven is properly connected to electric circuit
in house.
• check that controls are set properly.
If the oven interior light does not work
• the light bulb is loose or defective.
If oven will not cook:
• check that control panel was programmed correctly.
• check that door is rmly closed.
• check that Start was pressed.
check that timer wasn’t started instead of a cook function.
If oven takes longer than normal to cook or cooks
too rapidly:
• be sure the Power Level is programmed properly.
If the time of day clock does not always keep
correct time:
• check that the power cord is fully inserted into the
outlet receptacle.
• be sure the oven is the only appliance on the
electrical circuit.
If food cooks unevenly:
• be sure food is evenly shaped.
• be sure food is completely defrosted before cooking.
• check placement of aluminum foil strips used to
prevent overcooking.
If food is undercooked:
• check recipe to be sure all directions (amount, time,
and power levels) were correctly followed.
• be sure microwave oven is on a separate circuit.
• be sure food is completely defrosted before cooking.
If food is overcooked:
• check recipe to be sure all directions (amount, power
level, time, size of dish) were followed.
If arcing (sparks) occur:
• be sure microwavable dishes were used.
• be sure wire twist ties weren’t used.
• be sure oven wasn’t operated when empty.
• make sure metal rack (if used) is properly installed on
4 supports.
If the display shows a time counting down but the
oven is not cooking:
• check that door is rmly closed.
• check that timer wasn’t started instead of a cooking
function.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. Can I use a rack in my microwave oven to reheat
or cook on two levels at once?
A. Only use the rack that is supplied with your
microwave oven. Use of any other rack can result in poor cooking performance and/or arcing and may damage your oven.
Q. Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my
microwave oven?
A. Usable metal includes aluminum foil for shielding
(use small, at pieces), and shallow foil trays (if tray is ¾ inch deep and lled with food to absorb
microwave energy). Never allow metal to touch walls or door.
Q. Sometimes the door of my microwave oven
appears wavy. Is this normal?
A. This appearance is normal and does not affect the
operation of your oven.
Q. The glass tray does not move.
A. The glass tray is not correctly in place. It should be
correct-side up and sitting rmly on the center hub. The support is not operating correctly. Remove the glass tray and restart the oven. Cooking without the glass tray can give you poor results.
Q. Why does the dish become hot when I
microwave food in it? I thought that this should not happen.
A. As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to
the dish. Use hot pads to remove food after cooking.
Q. What does standing time mean?
A. Standing time means that food should be taken
out of the oven and covered for additional time after
cooking. This process allows the cooking to nish,
saves energy, and frees the oven for other purposes.
Q. Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven?
How do I get the best results?
A. Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following
manufacturer’s guidelines or use the preprogrammed
Popcorn key. Do not use regular paper bags. Use the listening test by stopping the oven as soon as the popping slows to a pop every one or two seconds. Do not try to repop unpopped kernels. You can also use special microwave poppers. When using a popper, be sure
to follow manufacturer’s directions. Do not pop
popcorn in glass utensils.
Q. Why does steam come out of the air exhaust
vent?
A. Steam is normally produced during cooking. The
microwave oven has been designed to vent steam out of the top vent.
