9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Popcorn: Use only popcorn in packages designed and labeled for microwave use, or pop it in a microwave oven corn popper. Follow popcorn manufacturers’ directions and use a brand suitable for the wattage of your oven. Do not continue to heat after popping has stopped. Popcorn will scorch or burn. Do not leave oven unattended..
CAUTION
When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, check package weight before using the popcorn function. Set the oven for the weight of the popcorn package. If these instructions are not followed, popcorn may not pop adequately or may ignite and cause fire.
Foods with nonporous skins: Potatoes, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, apples, whole squash and sausages are examples of foods with nonporous skins, These types of foods must be pierced before cooking to prevent them from exploding.
Baby food / Baby formula: Do not heat baby bottles or food in microwave oven. The glass jar or the surface of food may appear warm while the interior can burn the infant’s mouth and esophagus.
Deep fat frying: Do not deep fat fry in oven. Oil can be heated beyond ideal temperatures very quickly in a microwave oven. Temperatures can climb high enough for the cooking oils to reach their respective flash points and burst into flames. The heated oil may bubble and spatter causing possible damage to the oven and perhaps result in burns. Additionally, microwave–safe utensils may not be able to withstand the temperature of the hot oil, and could result in the utensil shattering, if it contains a slight imperfection, scratch or chip.
Home Canning / Drying foods / Small quantities of foods: Do not use microwave oven for home canning or
heating of any closed jar. Pressure will build up and the jar may explode. In addition, the oven cannot maintain the food at the proper canning temperature. Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume. Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture content can dry out, burn or catch on fire. Do not dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in your oven. Proper cooking depends on time set and weight of food. If you use a smaller portion than recommended and cook at the time for the recommended portion, fire could result.
Browning dishes:. Microwave browning dishes or grills are designed for microwave cooking only. Preheating times vary depending on the size of the browning dish and food being cooked. Always follow instructions provided by the browning dish or grill manufacturer. Do not preheat browning dishes more than 6 minutes.
the open end of the bag. Make six ½” (12,7 mm) slits by closure. Place oven cooking bag in a dish slightly larger than the food being cooked.
Grounding Instructions
The models stated on the front cover are either dual­rated, designed to be connected to either 208/240V AC, 60 Hz, 4-wire, single-phase power supply, or rated at 120V AC, 60 Hz and use a NEMA 5-20 plug to connect to a dedicated 120 V microwave circuit.
This appliance must be grounded. Grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing a safe pathway for electric current in the event of a short circuit. If 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. See INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
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 oven is on a circuit with other equipment, an increase in cooking times may be required and fuses can be blown.
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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Oven roasting bags: If an oven bag is used for
microwave cooking, prepare according to package directions. Do not use wire twist–ties to close bags, instead use nylon ties, cotton string or a strip cut from

Causes of Damage
NOTICES:
Metal  e.g. a spoon in a glass  must be kept at least
1" (2 cm) from the oven walls and the inside of the door. Sparks could irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the door.
Water in the hot oven interior: Never pour water into
the hot oven interior. Steam is produced. Damage to the enamel can arise due to the temperature change.
Do not leave moist groceries in a closed oven for an
extended period of time. It can lead to corrosion inside the oven.
Fruit juice can leave stains in the oven. Always remove
fruit juice immediately and wipe up first with a damp and then a dry cloth.
Cooling with the appliance door open: only allow the
oven cavity to cool when it is closed. Even if the appliance door is only open a little, front panels of adjacent units could be damaged over time.
Highly soiled door seal: the appliance door will no
longer close properly during operation if the door seal is highly soiled. Adjoining furniture fronts may be damaged. Always keep the door seal clean.
Appliance door as a seat or storage surface: do not
stand, sit or hang on the appliance door. Do not place any cookware or accessories on the appliance door.
Inserting accessories: depending on the appliance
type, accessories can scratch the door pane when closing the appliance door. Always slide accessories fully into the oven interior.
Do not hold or carry the appliance by the door handle.
The door handle cannot carry the weight of the device and could break off, or the hinges can be damaged.
Operating the microwave without food in the oven
cavity may lead to overloading. Never run the microwave unless there is food in the oven cavity. An exception to this rule is a short ovenware test (see the section "Microwave, suitable ovenware"), or an AutoChef mode that needs pre-heating.
Always set the microwave power as recommended for
the food. High power settings can overheat foods very quickly. Always place the popcorn bag on a glass plate. The turntable may jump if overloaded.
Protecting the environment
Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging in line with environmental requirements.
Tips for saving energy
Open the appliance door as little as possible while
cooking, baking or roasting.
Use dark, black-painted or enameled baking forms.
These absorb the heat particularly well.
It is best to bake several cakes in succession. The
oven is still warm. This shortens the baking time for the second cake. You can also slide in two loaf tins next to each other.
In the hot air mode, you can bake simultaneously on
several levels.
For longer cooking times, you can switch off the oven
10 minutes before the end of the cooking time and you can use the residual heat to finish cooking.

Microwave utensil guide
Suitable ovenware
Heat-resistant glass, glass-ceramic:
Utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and bowls without metallic trim (e.g. Pyrex®, Anchor Hocking™, Corning Ware®, etc.).
China:
Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters without metallic trim.
Plastic films and wraps:
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.
Cleaning accessories
Before using accessories for the first time, thoroughly clean them with hot soapy water and a soft dish cloth.
Microwave-safe plastics:
Use microwave-safe plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer containers and plastic bags for short cooking times. Use these with care because the plastic may soften from the heat of the food.
Paper products:
Paper towels, wax paper, parchment paper, paper napkins and paper plates with no metallic trim or design. Look for the manufacturers label for any special instructions for use in the microwave oven.
Unsuitable ovenware
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:
Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters with metallic trim.
12
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 (2.5 cm) from the side walls of the oven cavity and door of the microwave.
Wood:
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when you use them in the microwave oven. Baskets made of wood will react in the same way.
Tightly covered utensils:
Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered cookware. Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before cooking. Tightly closed pouches may explode.
Brown paper:
Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb heat and can burn.
Flawed or chipped cooking 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 hot and could cause a fire.
Ovenware test
Do not turn on the microwave unless there is food inside. The following ovenware test is the only exception to this rule.
Perform the following test if you are unsure whether your ovenware is suitable for use in the microwave:
1.
Heat the empty ovenware at maximum power for ½ to 1 minute.
2.
Check the temperature occasionally during that time.
The ovenware should still be cold or warm to the touch. The ovenware is unsuitable if it becomes hot or sparks

Suggestions for best results
To help you achieve the best possible results from your microwave oven, read the following suggestions below:
Storage temperature
Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same foods would at room temperature.
Size
Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones. Pieces similar in size and shape will cook more evenly when cooked together. For more even results, reduce the power levels when cooking large pieces of food.
Natural moisture
Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave energy heats water molecules very efficiently.
Stirring
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetable from the outside to the center to distribute the heat more evenly. This will allow the food to cook faster. Constant stirring is not necessary.
Turn over items
Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts or whole cauliflower halfway through the cook time. This will help to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.
Food placement
Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the turntable tray.
Food arrangement
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable tray.
Let food stand
After removing the food from the microwave, cover the food with foil or a casserole lid and let it stand to finish cooking. This will help the food finish cooking in the center and avoids overcooking the out edges, The length of stand time depends on the density and surface area of the food items.
Wrapping in paper towels or wax paper
Sandwiches and many other food types containing pre-baked bread should be wrapped prior to placing in the microwave to help prevent the food items fro drying out while heating.
14
Convection
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 flavor by the constant motion of hot air over the food surfaces.
You can set a temperature range from 200 to 450° F (90 to 230°C).
Notes
Use the AutoChef mode for cooking with microwave
and conventional heat combined. You can not combine these two modes manually.
For best cooking results always use the wire rack with
Convection mode.
9 CAUTION
The oven door and exterior and the wire rack will become hot during Convection. Always use oven mits.
Cookware tips for Convection
Metal Pans:
Recommended for all types of baked products, especially where browning is important.
Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and pies because they absorb heat and produce crisper crust.
Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies or muffins because they reflect heat and help produce a light tender crust.
Glass or glass-ceramic casseroles or baking dishes:
Best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to the cleanability of glass.
Setting Convection mode
The appliance must be turned off.
1.
Touch the Convection key. The start/enter indicator and the default temperature

Tips for defrosting
9 WARNING
HEALTH RISK Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat or
poultry. Drain off this liquid when turning meat and poultry and under no circumstances use it for other purposes or allow it to come into contact with other foods.
Always enter the weight in lbs when using the defrost
by weight feature (0.1 to 6.0 lbs).
Use the defrost mode for raw food items only.Defrosting gives best results when food to be thawed
is a minimum of 0° F (taken directly from a freezer). If the food has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a temperature of 5° F or below, always program a lower food weight or lower cook time to prevent cooking the food.
If the frozen food is stored outside the freezer for up to
20 minutes, enter a reduced cook time or weight.
The shape of the package will alter the defrosting time.
Shallow rectangular food packets defrost more quickly than a deep frozen block of food.
Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated
frozen pieces of food defrost better.
Shield warm areas of food with small pieces of
aluminum foil, if they start to heat up. Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield food items
like chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails. Do not allow aluminum foil to touch the oven cavity
when defrosting.

Cooking Charts
The charts can be used as a guide. Follow package or recipe directions.
Cooking eggs in your microwave
Never cook eggs in the shell and never warm hard–
cooked eggs in the shell; they can explode.
Always pierce yolk on whole eggs to keep them from
bursting.
Cook eggs just until set; they will become tough if
overcooked.
Cooking scrambled eggs is safe.
Cooking vegetables in your microwave
Vegetables should be washed just before cooking.
Rarely is extra water needed. If dense vegetables such as potatoes or carrots are being cooked, add about ¼ cup of water.
Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans,
etc.) will cook faster than larger vegetables.
Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or
corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the turntable before cooking. The will cook more evenly if turned over halfway through cooking.
Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli
with the stem ends pointing towards the edge of the dish and the tips toward the center.
When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish
with a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap.
Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, sweet
potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skin pricked in several locations before cooking to prevent them from bursting.
For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole
vegetables halfway through the cook time.
Most of the time, the denser the food the longer the
required standing time. For example, a baked potato should stand for 5 minutes before serving, while a dish of peas may be served immediately.
23
Cooking seafood in your microwave
Place fish on a microwave–safe roasting rack in a microwave–safe dish. Be sure to always cook fish until it flakes easily with a fork. Use a tight cover to steam fish; a
lighter cover of wax paper or paper towel provides less steaming. And be sure not to overcook fish; check it for doneness at a minimum cooking time before cooking longer.

microwave. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out with a soft cloth and and warm (not hot) mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe completely dry.
Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel,
especially after cooking greasy foods like chicken or bacon.
Clean your microwave oven weekly or more often, if
needed.
Never operate the microwave oven without food in the
oven cavity, unless pre-heating with an Auto Chef mode; this can damage the magnetron tube or ceramic tray. You may wish to leave a cup of water standing inside the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is accidentally turned on.
