IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To avoid risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a. DO NOT overcook food. Carefully attend oven
when paper, plastic, or other combustible mate­rials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic
bags before placing bag in oven.
c. 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.
d. DO NOT use the cavity for storage. DO NOT
leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.
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 LIQ-
UIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER 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.
To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage, observe the following:
1. DO NOT deep fat fry in oven. Fat could overheat and be hazardous to handle.
2. DO NOT cook or reheat eggs in shell or with an unbroken yolk using microwave energy. Pressure may build up and erupt. Pierce yolk with fork or knife before cooking.
3. Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes, and similar foods before cooking with microwave energy. When skin is pierced, steam escapes evenly.
4. DO NOT leave oven unattended.
5. DO NOT use regular cooking thermometers in oven when cooking in microwave or combination mode. Most cooking thermometers contain mer­cury and may cause an electrical arc, malfunction, or damage to oven.
6. DO NOT use metal utensils in oven except when recommended by microwave food manufacturers or recipe requires metal utensils in convection or combination mode. Heat food in containers made of glass or china if possible.
7. Never use paper, plastic, or other combustible materials that are not intended for cooking. If oven temperature is high, material may ignite.
8. Oven temperature is at least 100° F in convection mode. Verify plastic, paper or other combustible materials are recommended by the manufacturer to withstand the minimum oven temperature.
9. When cooking with paper, plastic, or other com­bustible materials, follow manufacturer's recom­mendations on product use.
10. DO NOT use paper towels which contain nylon or other synthetic fibers. Heated synthetics could melt and cause paper to ignite.
11. DO NOT heat sealed containers or plastic bags in oven. Food or liquid could expand quickly and cause container or bag to break. Pierce or open container or bag before heating.
12. Racks, utensils, rack guides, and oven surfaces may become hot during or after use. Use utensils or protective clothing, like pan grips or dry oven mitts, when necessary to avoid burns.
13. DO NOT unplug oven immediately after use. Internal fan must cool oven to avoid damage of electrical components.

Installation
Grounding Instructions
Oven MUST be grounded.
Grounding re­duces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current if an electrical short occurs. This 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.
Consult a qualified electrician or ser­vicer if grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the oven is prop­erly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the product power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install a three-slot receptacle. This oven should be plugged into a separate 60 hertz circuit with the electrical rating as shown in specifications table. When the combination oven is on a circuit with other equipment, an increase in cooking times may be required and fuses can be blown.
Microwave operates on standard household current, 110-120V.
Built-In Capability
For information call: 1-800-688-1100 USA and Canada
Oven Clearances
A—Allow at least 4” of clearance around top and sides of oven. Proper air flow
around oven cools electrical components. With restricted air flow, oven may not operate properly and life of electrical parts is reduced.

Cooking Methods
Microwave Cooking
Microwave cooking uses high frequency energy waves to heat the food. When cooking, microwave energy causes food molecules to move rapidly. This rapid movement between the food molecules creates heat, which cooks the food. Microwaves cook moist food and foods of varying fat content more quickly.
Convection Cooking
Convection cooking utilizes both a convection element and fan to evenly distribute heated air throughout the oven cav­ity. By circulating air, no hot or cold spots occur, creating a consistent temperature envelope around the food. These con­sistent temperatures cook food evenly and reduces cooking time.
Combination Cooking
The combination mode uses both the speed of microwave energy and browning of convection cooking to yield fast, high quality food.
• Microwave cooking uses high frequency energy waves to heat the food. When cooking, microwave energy causes food molecules to move rapidly. This rapid movement between the food molecules creates heat, which cooks the food.
• Convection cooking uses the selected oven temperature to bake and brown foods. The circulating air surrounds food in an envelope of evenly heated air.
Microwave Convection Combination
Heat Source Microwave energy. Heated air, circulated in Microwave energy and
oven cavity. circulated heated air.
Heat Conduction Heat produced within food Heat conducted from outside Food heats both through
by energy penetration. of food to inside. conduction from outside
and within from energy.
Primary Benefit Fast, high efficiency heating. Browns foods and seals Shortened heating time from

Cookware Suggestions
Cooking method used determines the cookware that can be used. To simplify choices, use cookware that is approved for all three cooking methods: microwave, convection and combination.
Canning
Canning is not recommended in microwave or combination ovens.
When heating liquids in the micro­wave oven, especially for extended periods of time, superheating can occur. This condition may result in boil over or possible eruption when the liquid is disturbed or a jar is sealed.
Damage incurred by canning, or attempting to can, using the oven is not covered under warranty.
Oven Rack
A metal rack is provided with the oven for use in convection oven mode. Metal racks should not be used in the oven during microwave or combination mode. Metal will cause arcing, which could result in damage to the oven.
Popcorn
Popcorn should only be cooked in a specially designed microwave pop­corn popper or in a commercially pre­pared microwave-safe popcorn bag. Do not use a popper designed to focus or concentrate energy or heat. Popcorn should also be popped only while oven is in microwave mode. If convection heat is present, popcorn may scorch, burn or catch fire.
Select Avoid
Heat resistant glass Non-heat resistant glass Ceramics or china Metal trimmed ceramics or china Pyrex Metal cookware Heat resistant Teflon utensils, Metal cooking utensils
such as spatulas Microwave cookware that is safe Paper products, straw, wicker and
to 450° F wood Handles that are secure Cookware with loose or broken
handles
Do not use metal utensils or pots in the oven.
Cooking hints
Covering A cover will trap heat and steam, causing food to heat more
quickly. Always use a lid approved for both convection and microwave cooking.
Stirring Redistributes heat in foods. Always stir from the outside
toward the center of the dish.
Piercing Pierce the shell, skin or membrane of foods before heating to
prevent bursting.
Turning Large foods should be turned so that the top and bottom heat
evenly.
Arrangement Do not stack food. Arrange in a single layer on a dish safe for
combination heating.
Standing Foods often need to stand from 2 to 15 minutes after being Time removed from the oven. This finishes cooking. Normally an
internal temperature will continue to rise approximately 5 to 10° F during standing time.
Spacing Arrange individual foods, such as potatoes, in a circle and at
least 1 inch apart. This helps food heat more evenly.

Care and Cleaning
Oven Turntable
The turntable and rotating ring are removable. They should be hand-washed in warm (not hot) water and a mild detergent. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. DO
NOT use cleaning powders, abrasives, steel wool, or other rough pads. DO NOT put in an automatic dishwasher.
• Turntable may be cleaned at the sink. Be careful not to chip or scratch the edges as this could cause the turntable to break during use.
• Rotating ring must be cleaned regularly.
• Turntable must ALWAYS be in place when using this oven.
Cleaning Oven Exterior
Clean the door and other exterior surfaces with a clean cloth, sponge or nylon pad using a mild detergent and warm water solution. Wring cloth well to remove excess water before wiping oven.
• Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or cleaners containing ammonia.
Cleaning Oven Cavity
Wipe the oven inside with a soft cloth and a mild detergent solution. Rinse and wipe dry. Never use cleaning powders, abrasives or other rough pads.
Excessive oil splatters on the inside top will be difficult to remove if left to sit. Wipe splatters with a wet paper towel as soon as they occur.
NOTE: A plastic putty knife or equivalent may be used to remove baked on debris.
• Wear protective rubber gloves when cleaning oven.
• Use only a plastic putty knife, nylon scouring pad or equivalent, to aid in removing soil or build-up from the oven interior.
Do not use knife, metal utensil, or steel wool pad to remove baked on material. This will damage the teflon coating.
Clean oven frequently to maximize oven life, performance, and efficiency. A dirty oven cooks inefficiently because moisture, spills, and grease absorb convection and microwave energy.
To prevent burns, handle utensils, racks, and door with care. Allow oven, utensils, racks to cool before cleaning. Oven, utensils, and racks, become hot during operation.
CAUTION
To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe personal injury or death, unplug power cord or open circuit breaker to oven before cleaning oven.
WARNING
Cleaning Oven Door
For best performance and safety, the inner door panel and the oven front frame should be free of food or grease build-up. Wipe often with a mild detergent and then rinse. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. DO NOT use cleaning powders, abrasives or other rough pads.
After cleaning the control panel, touch CANCEL/STOP pad to clear any entries that might have been accidentally made while cleaning. To avoid this problem, child lock may be set prior to cleaning.
Cleaning Notes:
• Clean oven after every use.
• Clean interior, exterior, and door according to instructions.
• Clean spills immediately.
• Remove oven racks, and clean according to instructions.
• Wipe dry after cleaning.

Cooking
Using a Meat Thermometer
When using a meat thermometer, remember to insert it at a slight angle, in the thickest part of the meat, away from fat and bone. The meat should be removed when 5° F below the desired final temperature. While the meat sits before carving, it will continue to cook internally, raising the last 5° F by itself.
Meat thermometer
• Takes the guesswork out of cooking to a desired ‘doneness’.
• Helps reduce the risk of foodborne illness.
Oven-safe Thermometer
• Inserted before the meat is placed in the oven, this thermometer stays with the meat while it cooks.
• The internal temperature will rise slowly as the meat cooks.
DO NOT use a metal thermometer in the oven in COMBINATION mode or MICROWAVE mode.
Instant-read Thermometer
• Not oven safe, these thermometers are placed in the meat when it is removed from the oven.
• While times may vary, an accurate temperature is normally displayed within one to two minutes.
• When using an instant-read, remember to clean the thermometer stem with warm, soapy water between readings.
Meat Basics
For specific questions regarding meat preparation, handling, or storage contact USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) Meat & Poultry Hotline at (800) 535-4555.
Handling Hints
• When shopping, put meat in its own separate plastic sack to keep drips off other foods.
• Defrost frozen meats in refrigera­tor, not at room temperature.
• Keep meat cool and covered until it is time to cook.
• Wash hands with warm soapy water before and after handling meat or raw egg.
• Thoroughly wash any surface or utensil raw meat or egg touched.
• Do not put cooked meat on the same plate that held raw meat.
Cooking Tips
• Marinate meat in the refrigerator. Throw out excess marinade that came into contact with meat.
• Use an oven-proof meat ther­mometer.
• Cook meat to internal temperature recommended by USDA.
• When reheating foods, heat to an internal temperature of at least 165° F.
• While cooking meats, turn over at least once.
Storage Safety
• Once carved, refrigerate unused portion immediately.
• Keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold when serving meals.
• Separate cooked foods into small portions for fast cooling.
• Do not store cooked ground meats or meals containing ground meats for longer than 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator.
• Do not allow cooked or uncooked meat juices to come into contact with ready-to-eat foods such as fruits or vegetables.
Tenderizing
Braising is only one way to tenderize less tender cuts. Before cooking, you may pound, cube, marinate, or use commercially prepared meat ten­derizers. You may then use a dry method to cook the meat.
Marinades are acidic liquids such as wine, citrus, or vinegar. Marinades soften meat fibers but only penetrate about one-fourth of an inch into the interior of the meat. Do not marinate meat for longer than 24 hours.
Pounding with a heavy meat mal­let breaks down the connective tis­sue to tenderize meat.
Cubing breaks down the structure more than pounding. Cubing is done at the meat counter.
Commercial tenderizers are pri­marily enzymes that work on the outer fourth inch on a meat cut. Make sure to follow the manufac­turer’s directions.

Roasting Guidelines
Tender cuts such as rib and loin cuts are best cooked by dry heat methods, such as roasting.
To roast:
1. Heat oven to desired temperature.
2. Place roast directly from refrigerator fat side up in a shallow, non-metal pan.
3. Place roast in combination oven.
4. Remove roast and check internal temperature with a meat thermometer. DO NOT place roast inside combination oven with thermometer.
5. Roast is done when 5° F below desired degree of finished internal temperature.
6. Transfer roast to carving board and tent loosely with aluminum foil for approximately 15 minutes.
All times and recommended temperatures are provided by the USDA, the Beef Industry Council, the National Pork Producer’s Council, and the American Sheep Industry Council.

Cookies
• Shiny, flat cookie sheets should be used. Avoid cookie pans with high sides—this will cause uneven browning on the top.
• Cookie sheet should not touch the sides of the oven or door.
Cakes
• Determine pan size from recipe directions. Shiny pans work best for cakes.
• Cake baked in too large a pan will be thin and dry. Too small a pan results in undercooked or unevenly cooked cake and batter may spill.
Pies
• Pies should be baked in dark or dull pans to increase browning.
• Frozen pies should be heated on an aluminum cookie sheet.
Preheating
In most cases, you should preheat the oven before baking. For delicate bak­ing (such as puff pastries or souffles), preheat approximately 15–20 min­utes before placing food inside oven or wait 10 minutes after oven signal beeps before placing food in oven. The extra time creates a more stable
oven temperature.
Bakeware Guidelines
Dark or dull Absorb more heat and pans result in darker brown-
ing. Recommended for pies and breads.
Shiny pans Recommended for (no sides) cookies.
Shiny pans Recommended for (sides) cakes.

Common Baking Problems
Adjusting to a new oven can be hard, especially making a change to a convection oven. If you begin to notice consis­tent problems refer to the chart below for possible solutions.
Baking Notes:
• Test cakes for doneness. Because of variances across individual ovens, it is best to test for the prop­er consistency rather than solely relying on time and visual appear­ance as an indicator.
• Cake problems may be in the mix­ing of the batter. Overbeating can cause cake structure to break down and excessive shrinkage of the cake. Underbeating can result in lumpy cakes that may not be cooked thoroughly. All ingredients should be at room temperature— not out of the refrigerator. Make sure to follow the recipes directions for how long the batter should be mixed.
• Allow cake to cool in cake pan on a rack for 10 minutes before remov­ing. Larger cakes (over 14 inches in diameter) may take 15 minutes. If the cake has cooled too long, reheat in the oven at 250° F for a few minutes.
• Make sure to follow recipe direc­tions and use butter or margarine when it is listed. Using a low fat substitute can cause a recipe to fail.
