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:

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.

OPERATION

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.

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: Reduce oven temperature by 25°F from the

temperature recommended on packaged foods. The baking time may vary according to the food condition or individual preference.

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.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR 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.

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.
