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 agrounding wire with a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded. See Installation Instructions.
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.

SENSOR OPERATI NG
INSTRUCTIONS
Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your favorite
foods without selecting cooking times and power
levels. The display will indicate sensor category during
the initial sensing period. 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 will tell the oven
how much longer to heat. The display will show the
remaining heating time. For best results for cooking by
Sensor, follow these recommendations.
1. Food cooked with the sensor system should be at
normal storage temperature.
2. Glass turntable and outside of container should be
dry to assure best cooking results.
3. Foods should always bevented or covered loosely
with microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a lid.
4. Do not open the door or touch the STOP/CLEAR
pad during the sensing time. When sensing time
is over, the oven beeps twice 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.
ADDI NG OR SU BTRACTI NG
COOK TIME
If the SENSOR function is too long or too short, you
can increase or decrease the cook time. You can only
increase or decrease cook time when remaining time is

For best results:
• Leave fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry in its original
closed paper or plastic package (wrapper).
• Form the meat into the shape of a doughnut before
freezing. When defrosting, scrape off thawed meat
when the beep sounds and continue defrosting.
• Place foods on the low rack and use the metal tray/
drip pan to catch drippings.
• Foods should still be somewhat icy in the center
when removed from the oven.
•Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and
wings.
• The shape of the food alters the defrosting time.

CONVECTION COOKING
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°E It is best to preheat the oven when convection
cooking.
Lower oven temperature by 25°F from package
recommended temperature instructions. The
baking time may vary according to the food
condition or individual preference. Check
doneness at the minimum time and then adjust
time by touching the More+ or Less- pads.
CONVECTION RACK
Use the convection rack for convection and
combination cooking only. Do not use rack in
microwave-only mode unless recommended in this
guide.
For best results, place food on the Convection Rack.
M ETALTRAY/DRI P PAN
A metal drip pan has been included with your oven.
When roasting in the oven, place food directly on the
metal rack. Place the rack inside the metal drip pan.
Center the drip pan and rack on the glass turntable.
When cooking is complete, use potholders to remove
the drip pan and rack from the hot oven. Take care
not to spill the hot drippings. Remove food from the
rack. Do not use the metal tray/drip pan in microwave-
only mode unless recommended in this guide.

CONVECTION BAKING GUIDELINES
1. Always use the convection rack when convection baking. Place food directly on rack or place in metal tray and
then place tray on rack. For best results with foods such as french fries or cheese sticks, space items so that they
do not touch. Proper airflow is necessary for optimum performance.
2. Aluminum pans conduct heat quickly. For most convection baking, light, shiny finishes give best results because
they prevent overbrowning in the time it takes to cook the center areas. Pans with dull (satin-finish) bottoms are
recommended for cake pans and pie pans for best bottom browning.
3. Dark or non-shiny finishes, glass, and pyroceram absorb heat which may result in dry, crisp crusts.
4. Preheating the oven is recommended when baking foods by convection. Meats, casseroles and poultry do not
require preheating.
5. To prevent uneven heating and save energy, open the oven door to check food as little as possible.

TIPS FOR COMBINATION
COOKING/SPEED COOK
This section gives you instructions to operate each
combination cooking function. Please read these
instructions carefully. Sometimes combination
microwave-convection cooking is suggested to get the
best cooking results since it shortens the cooking time
for foods that normally need a long time to cook. This
cooking process also leaves meats juicy on the inside
and crispy on the outside. In combination cooking,
the convection heat and microwave energy alternate
automatically. Your oven has three preprogrammed
settings that make it easy to use combination cooking.
HELPFUL HINTS FOR
COMBINATION COOKING/
SPEED COOK
1. Meats may be roasted directly on the metal rack
provided with your oven. Use the metal tray/drip pan
to catch drippings and grease.
2. Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and
wings.
3. Less tender cuts of beef can be roasted and
tenderized using oven cooking bags.
4. When baking, check for doneness after cooking
time is up. If not completely done, let stand in oven
for a few minutes to complete cooking.
5. When checking food for doneness during cooking,
carefully remove food, rack and drip tray (if used)
from the oven and close oven door to prevent
excessive heat loss.
6. "OVEN HOT" will appear in the display when the
oven door is opened during cooking.
7. If the temperature has dropped while the door is
open, "CLOSE DOOR" will appear in the display.
To clear, close the door and touch Enter/Start pad.
PRECAUTIONS
,
All cookware used for combination cooking must be
both microwave-safe and ovenproof.
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.
3. If arcing occurs, place a heatproof dish between the
pan and the metal rack.
4. If arcing occurs with other baking cookware, do not
use them for combination cooking.

BROIL COOKING
INTRODUCTION
This oven cooks the outside of foods much like
conventional radiant heat, while also penetrating the
surface so the inside cooks simultaneously. Broiling is
cooking under direct heat. This oven can broil or grill
meat, fish, poultry, and vegetables, or toast bread.
Your oven uses broil cooking whenever you use the
Broil Command Pads.
• Foods that are suitable for broiling should be tender,
moderately lean and no more than 1 inch thick. Fish
steaks, chicken breasts and hamburgers are ideal for
broiling.
• Always use the Broiling Rack.
• For even browning, turn the food over halfway
through broiling.
• Do not leave the door open for long periods of time
when using the broil element. This will cause the
oven temperature to drop and could affect cooking
performance.
BROILING RACK
Use the broiling rack for broil and auto broil cooking.
Do not use in microwave-only mode.
For best results, place food on the broiling rack.
When broiling meats, use metal tray/drip pan to catch
drippings from the meat.
3. Touch numbers for cooking time. You

4. Touch ENTER/START pad.
NOTES:
• If you open the door or touch STOP/CLEAR during
broiling, broiling will stop.
• To resume broiling, close the door and touch
ENTER/START.
• When broiling time ends, the display will show
"COOK END" and four tones will sound.
• After cooking, the display will return to the time of
day, when you open the door.

Heating/ ReheatingGuide
To heat or reheat successfully in a microwave oven, it is important to follow several 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 cover carefully to prevent steam burns. Use the following chart as a guide for reheating cooked food.
Sliced meat Place sliced meat on microwavable plate. Cover with plastic wrap
3 slices (1/4-inchthick) 1-2 minutes and vent. Note: Gravy or sauce helps to keep meat juicy.
Chicken pieces
1 breast 2-31/2minutes Place chicken pieces on microwavable plate. Cover with plastic
1 leg and thigh 11/2-3minutes wrap and vent.
Fish fillet
(6-8 oz.) 2-4 minutes Place fish on microwavable plate. Cover with plastic wrap and vent.

RecommendedUtensils
MICROWAVE UTENSIL GUIDE
OVENPROOF GLASS (:treatedfor
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,
semirigid 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.
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 your 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.
BROWN PAPER:
Avoid using brown paper bags.
They absorb too much heat and could burn.
FLAWED OR CHIPPED UTENSILS:
Any utensil 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 [lot and could cause a fire.
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.
