OPERATION
Using the Upper Oven
Before Using the Upper Oven
NOTE
•
To avoid risk of personal injury or property
damage, do not use stoneware, metal cookware,
or metal rimmed cookware in the oven.
•
To program the oven, make sure you touch
the center of each key firmly since the areas
between the keys will not activate the oven.
A tone will sound each time a key is touched
correctly. Don’t touch several keys at once.
•
Do not strike the control panel with silverware,
cookware, etc. Breakage may occur.
•
Always use caution when taking cookware out
of the oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the
cooked food and may be hot. See Cookware
Guide earlier in this section for more information.
NOTE
•
Do not rinse containers by placing them in water
immediately after cooking. This may cause
breakage. Also, always allow the turntable to
cool before removing it from the oven.
•
Never operate the oven when it is empty. Food
or water should always be in the oven during
operation to absorb the microwave energy.
•
Do not use the oven to dry newspapers or
clothes. They may catch fire.
•
Use thermometers that have been approved for
microwave oven cooking.
•
The turntable must always be in place when
you operate the oven.
•
Do not use your microwave oven to cook eggs
in the shell. Pressure can build up inside the
shell, causing it to burst.

Microwave Cookware 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 rims.
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 only for short
cooking time. Use these with care because the
plastic may soften from the heat of the food.
PAPER:
Paper towels, waxed paper, paper napkins,
and paper plates with no metallic rim or design.
Check the manufacturer's label before using in
the microwave oven.
NOTE:
Do not use recycled paper products in the
microwave oven. They sometimes contain
impurities that cause arcing and sparking.
METAL CONTAINERS:
Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces
uneven cooking. Also avoid metal skewers, thermometers, or foil
trays. Metal containers can cause arcing, which can damage the
microwave oven.
METAL DECORATION:
Metal-rimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc.
The metal rim 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 COOKWARE:
Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered
containers. Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food
items before cooking. Tightly closed pouches could explode.
BROWN PAPER:
Avoid using brown paper bags.
They absorb too much heat and could burn.
FLAWED OR CHIPPED COOKWARE:
Any container that is cracked, flawed, 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 fire.

ENGLISH Using the Upper Oven
Microwave Cooking Tips
Keeping an Eye on Things
Always watch your food while it cooks. The light
inside the upper oven turns on automatically when
the oven is cooking so you can monitor the cooking
process. Directions given in recipes to elevate, stir,
and the like should be thought of as the minimum
steps recommended. If the food seems to be cooking
unevenly, simply make the necessary adjustments
you think appropriate to correct the problem.
Factors Affecting Microwave Cooking Times
Many factors affect cooking times. The temperature
of ingredients used in a recipe makes a big difference
in cooking times. For example, a cake made with
ice-cold butter, milk, and eggs will take considerably
longer to bake than one made with ingredients that
are at room temperature. Some recipes, particularly
those for bread, cake, and custards, recommend that
food be removed from the oven when they are slightly
undercooked.
This is not a mistake. When allowed to stand, usually
covered, these foods will continue to cook outside of
the oven as the heat trapped within the outer portions
of the food gradually travels inward. If the food is left
in the oven until it is cooked all the way through, the
outer portions will become overcooked or even burnt.
Practice will improve your ability to estimate both
cooking and standing times for various foods.
Density of Food
Light, porous food such as cakes and breads cook
more quickly than heavy, dense foods such as
roasts and casseroles. You must take care when
microwaving porous food so that the outer edges do
not become dry and brittle.
Height of Food
The upper portion of tall foods, particularly roasts, will
cook more quickly than the lower portion.
Therefore, it is wise to turn tall food several times
during cooking.
Moisture Content of Food
Because the heat generated from microwaves
causes moisture to evaporate, relatively dry food
such as roasts and some vegetables should either
be sprinkled with water prior to cooking or covered to
retain moisture.
Bone and Fat Content of Food
Bones conduct heat and fat cooks more quickly than
meat. Care must be taken when cooking bony or fatty
cuts of meat in order to prevent unevenly cooked or
overcooked meat.
Quantity of Food
The number of microwaves in your oven remains
constant regardless of how much food is being
cooked. Therefore, the more food you place in the
oven, the longer the required cooking time.
Remember to decrease cooking times by at least one
third when halving a recipe.
Shape of Food
Microwaves penetrate only about 3/4 of an inch
(2 cm) into food. The interior portion of thick foods is
cooked as the heat generated on the outside travels
inward. Only the outer edge of food is cooked by
microwave energy; the rest is cooked by conduction.
The worst possible shape for a food that is to be
microwaved is a thick square.
The corners will burn long before the center is even
warm. Round thin foods and ring-shaped foods cook
most successfully in the microwave.
Covering
A cover traps heat and steam which causes food to
cook more quickly. Use a lid or microwave cling film
with a corner folded back to prevent splitting.
Covering with Parchment Paper
Parchment paper (not waxed paper) is microwave
safe. Because it makes a looser cover than a lid or
clingfilm, greaseproof paper allows the food to dry out
slightly.
Stirring
Stirring is one of the most important of all microwaving
techniques. In conventional cooking, food is stirred for
the purpose of blending. Microwaved food, however,
is stirred in order to spread and redistribute heat.
Always stir from the outside towards the centre as the
outside of the food heats first.
Placing Thicker Portions Facing Outward
Place thicker cuts or portions of meat, poultry, and
fish toward the outer edge of the baking dish so they
absorb the most microwave energy and the food
cooks more evenly.
20
OPERATION
Shielding
Strips of aluminium foil (which block microwaves)
can be placed over the corners or edges of square
and rectangular foods to prevent those portions from
overcooking. Never use too much foil and make sure
the foil is secured to the dish or it may cause arcing
in the oven, especially if the foil passes too closely to
the walls of the oven during rotation.
Elevating
Thick or dense foods can be elevated so that
microwaves can be absorbed by the underside and
center of the foods.
Piercing
Foods enclosed in a shell, skin or membrane are
likely to burst in the oven unless they are pierced
prior to cooking. Such foods include yolks and whites
of eggs, clams, oysters, potatoes, and other whole
vegetables and fruits.
Testing if Cooked
Microwaves cook food quickly, so test food for
doneness frequently. Some foods are left in the
microwave until completely cooked, but most foods,
including meats and poultry, should be removed from
the oven while still slightly undercooked and allowed
to finish cooking during standing time. The internal
temperature of foods will rise between 5 °F (3 °C) and
15 °F (8 °C) during standing time.
Microwave Power Levels
This upper oven is equipped with 10 power levels to
give you maximum flexibility and control over cooking.

the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds (the
weight of the food minus the container).
•
Before starting, remove 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.
•
Remove fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry from
its original wrapping paper or plastic package.
Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and juice close
to the foods, which can cause the outer surface of
the foods to cook.
•
If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place the
food in a suitable container.
•
Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as
sausage.
•
Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even
defrosting.
•
Place foods in a shallow container or in a
microwave roasting dish to catch the drippings.
•
Always underestimate defrosting time. Food
should still be somewhat icy in the center when
removed from the oven. If defrosted food is still icy
in the center, return it to the upper oven for more
defrosting.
•
The length of defrosting time varies according to
how solidly the food is frozen.
•
Depending on the shape of the food, some areas
may defrost more quickly than others.
•
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 to
defrost them more easily.
•
Turn over food during defrosting or standing time.
Break apart and remove food as required.
•
For best results, shape ground meat into the form
of a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting,
scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and
continue defrosting.
•
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.
Sensor Operation
Sensor Cook reheats 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.
•
Food cooked with the sensor system should be at
normal storage temperature.
•
The glass tray and the outside of the container
should be dry to assure best cooking results.
•
Foods should always be covered loosely with
microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a lid.
•
Do not open the door or touch Clear/Off 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.
Appropriate containers and coverings help assure
good sensor cooking results.
•
Always use microwavable containers and cover
them with lids or vented plastic wrap.
•
Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can
prevent steam from escaping and cause food to
overcook.
•
Match the amount to the size of the container.
Fill containers at least half full for best results.
•
Be sure the outside of the cooking container and
the inside of the upper oven are dry before placing
food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into
steam can mislead the sensor.
Using Sensor Cook
Use Sensor Cook to heat common microwave-
prepared foods without needing to program times and
power levels. Sensor Cook has preset programs for 9

OPERATION
ENGLISH Using the Upper Oven
Convection Bake
During Convection Bake, 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.
Setting the Convection Bake Function
Example: 45 minutes at 375°F with preheating
1
Touch Conv.Bake. The display flashes 350 °F.
2
Set the oven temperature: touch 3, 7 and 5.
3
Touch Start. The oven starts to preheat and
display shows Conv.Bake and the oven
temperature. (Do not enter the time.)
