F0003CD60AP_08.indd 6 2019/12/10 10:13:54
Food Preparation
Follow these Safety Precautions when cooking in your oven.
IMPORTANT Proper cooking depends upon the power, the time setting
and quantity of food. If you use a smaller portion than recommended but cook at the time for the recommended portion, fire could result.
1) HOME CANNING / STERILIZING / DRYING FOODS / SMALL QUANTITIES OF FOODS
DO NOT use your oven for home canning. Your oven cannot maintain the food at the proper canning temperature. The food may be contaminated and then spoil.
DO NOT use the microwave oven to sterilize objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at the high temperature needed for sterilization.
DO NOT dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in your oven. Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture content can dry out, scorch or catch on fire if overheated.
2) POPCORN
Popcorn may be popped in a microwave oven corn popper. Microwave popcorn that pops in its own package is also available. Follow popcorn manufacturers’ directions and use a brand suitable for the cooking power of your microwave oven.
CAUTION: When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, you can follow recommended package instructions or use the Popcorn menu (refer to page 34). Otherwise, the popcorn may not pop adequately or may ignite and cause a fire. Never leave the oven unattended when popping popcorn. Allow the popcorn bag to cool before opening, and always open the bag facing away from your face and body to prevent steam burns.
4) FOODS WITH NONPOROUS SKINS
DO NOT COOK / REHEAT WHOLE EGGS, WITH OR WITHOUT
THE SHELL.
Steam buildup in whole
eggs may cause them to explode, and possibly damage the oven or cause injury. Reheating SLICED hard-boiled eggs and cooking SCRAMBLED eggs is safe.
Potatoes, apples, whole squash and sausages are examples of foods with nonporous skins. These types of foods must be pierced before microwave cooking to prevent them from exploding.
CAUTION: Cooking dry or old
potatoes can cause fire.
5) GLASS TRAY / COOKING CONTAINERS / FOIL
• Cooking containers get hot during microwaving. Heat is transferred from the HOT food to the container and the Glass Tray. Use pot holders when removing containers from the oven or when removing lids or plastic wrap covers from cooking containers, to avoid burns.
• The Glass Tray will get hot during cooking. It should be allowed to cool before handling or before paper products, such as paper plates or microwave popcorn bags, are placed in the oven for microwave cooking.
• When using foil in the oven, allow at least 1-inch (2.5 cm) of space between foil and interior oven walls or door.
• Dishes with metallic trim should not be used, as arcing may occur.
3) DEEP FAT FRYING
DO NOT deep fat fry in your microwave oven. Cooking oils may burst into flames and may cause damage to the oven and may result in burns. Microwave utensils may not withstand the temperature of the hot oil, and can shatter or melt.
6) PAPER TOWELS / CLOTHS
DO NOT use paper towels or cloths that contain a synthetic fiber woven into them. The synthetic fiber may cause the towel to ignite. Use paper toweling under supervision.
7) BROWNING DISHES / OVEN COOKING BAGS
• Browning dishes or Broils are designed for microwave cooking only. Always follow instructions provided by the manufacturer. DO NOT preheat browning dish more than six minutes.
• If an oven cooking bag is used for microwave cooking, prepare according to package directions. DO NOT use a wire twist-tie to close bag. Instead use plastic ties, cotton string or a strip cut from the open end of the bag.
7
F0003CD60AP_08.indd 7 2019/12/10 10:13:54
Food Preparation (continued)
8) THERMOMETERS
DO NOT use a conventional meat thermometer in your oven. Arcing may occur. Microwave safe thermometers are available for both meat and candy.
9) BABY FORMULA / BABY FOOD
DO NOT heat baby formula or baby food in the microwave oven. The glass jar or surface of the food may appear warm while the interior can be so hot as to burn the infant’s mouth and esophagus.
10) REHEATING PASTRY PRODUCTS
• When reheating pastry products, check temperatures of any fillings before eating. Some foods have fillings, which heat faster and can be extremely hot, while the surface remains warm to the touch (for example, jelly donuts).
12) HEATER OPERATION
• Exterior oven surfaces, including air vents on the cabinet and the oven door will get hot during Convection, Combo or Broil functions. To prevent burns, take care when opening or closing the door and when inserting or removing food and accessories.
• The oven has heaters situated in the top of the oven. During and after using either the Convection, Combo or Broil functions, all inside surfaces of the oven will be very hot. To prevent burns, care should be taken to avoid touching the inside surfaces of the oven.
TO AVOID THE RISK OF SCALDING, please use caution when touching accessible parts when oven is operated in Convection, Broil or Combo mode, because the accessible parts may become extremely hot.
13) BEFORE USING YOUR OVEN
• Before using the oven for the first time, wipe excessive oil off in the oven cavity and operate the oven without food and accessories on Convection at 425 °F (220 °C), for 10 minutes. This will allow the oil that is used for rust protection to be burned off. This is the only time the oven is used empty. (with the exception of preheating on Convection.)
11) GENERAL OVEN USAGE GUIDELINES
DO NOT use the oven for any purpose other than the preparation of food. This oven is specifically designed to heat or cook food. DO NOT use this oven to heat chemicals or other non-food products.
• Before use, check that utensils/containers are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
DO NOT attempt to use this microwave oven to dry newspaper, clothing or any other materials. They may catch fire.
• When the oven is not being used, DO NOT store any objects other than oven accessories inside the oven in case it is accidentally turned on.

Sensor Reheat (One Push Reheating)
This unique feature ‘the Genius’ built-in sensor allows you to reheat a chilled meal with one push of the dial. It is not necessary to select the power level or cooking time. The built-in sensor measures the humidity of the food and calculates the cooking time.
Operation (continued)

ヴㄆㄏㄔㄐㄓチンㄉㄆ㄂ㄕ
When clock mode is displayed, press the dial to Start. To reset oven and return to clock mode, press Stop/Reset.
How it works
Once the One Push Reheating has been selected, the food is heated up. As food begins to get hot, steam is emitted. When the food reaches a certain temperature and begins to cook, an even greater amount of steam is released. The increase in steam emission is detected by a humidity sensor in the oven. This acts as a signal for the oven to calculate how much longer the food needs to cook. The remaining cooking time will appear in the display window after two beeps. Whilst the Sensor symbol is still flashing in the display window the oven door should not be opened. Wait until the cooking time appears in the window, and then open the door if required, to stir or turn the food.
Adjust to Taste
The One Push Reheating reheats a chilled meal for average tastes. You are able to adjust the reheating program to your own taste. After pressing Start, +/- symbol and flashing bar appears in the display, turn dial clockwise for more time or anticlockwise for less time. This operation should be completed within 14 seconds. Default mode is normal.
Notes:
1. Press the dial in two minutes right after the door was closed, otherwise One Push Reheating Function will be rejected and beeps will sound. Open the door and close it again will release the One Push Reheating Function.
2. The oven automatically calculates the reheating time or the remaining reheating time.
3. The door should not be opened before the time appears in the display window.
4. To prevent any mistakes during One Push Reheating ensure that glass tray and the container are dry.
5. The room temperature should not be more than 95 °F (35 °C) and not less than 32 °F (0 °C).
6. If the oven has previously been used and it is too hot to be used on One Push Reheating, “HOT INSIDE WAIT” will appear in the display window. After the “HOT INSIDE WAIT” disappears, the One Push Reheating may be used. If in a hurry, cook food manually by selecting the correct cooking mode and cooking time yourself.

NOTES:
1. Defrost can be used to defrost many cuts of meat, poultry and fish by weight. The oven will determine the defrosting time and power levels. Once the oven is programmed, the defrosting time will appear in the display. For best results the minimum recommended weight is 0.1 lb (0.1 kg).
2. Turn over the food, remove defrosted food and shield thin ends/fat bones of roast with foil when buzzer rings in the middle of cooking.
3. Allow standing time so that the center of the food thaws out. (Minimum of 1 hour for joints of meat and whole chickens).
Conversion
Follow the chart to convert ounces or hundredths of a pound into tenths of a pound. To use Defrost, enter the weight of the food in pounds (1.0) and tenths of a pound (0.1). If a piece of meat weighs 1.95 lbs or 1 lb 14 oz., enter 1.9 lbs.

4. Automatic features are provided for your convenience. If results are not suitable to your individual preference, or if serving size is other than what is listed in next page, please refer to manual cooking on page 25.
5. If the temperature of the cavity is too high, Sensor Cook feature cannot be used. The message “HOT INSIDE WAIT” will appears in the display window. Sensor Cook feature can be used again when the “HOT INSIDE WAIT” message disappears. Please open the door in order to cool the temperature of the cavity more quickly.
.
For the best results with the GENIUS SENSOR, follow these recommendations:
BEFORE Reheating/Cooking:
1. The room temperature surrounding the oven should be below 95 °F (35 °C).
2. Food weight should exceed 4 oz. (110 g).
3. Be sure the glass tray, the outside of the cooking containers and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Residual beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.
4. Cover food with lid, or with vented plastic wrap. Never use tightly sealed plastic containers—they can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.
DURING Reheating/Cooking:
DO NOT open the oven door until two beeps sound and cooking time appears in the display. Doing so will cause inaccurate cooking since the steam from food is no longer contained within the oven cavity. Once the cooking time begins to count down, the oven door may be opened to stir, turn or rearrange foods.
AFTER Reheating/Cooking:
All foods should have a standing time.

Defrosting Tips & Techniques
Preparation For Freezing:
1. Freeze meats, poultry, and fish in packages with only one or two layers of food. Place wax paper between layers.
2. Package in heavy-duty plastic wraps, bags (labeled “For Freezer”), or freezer paper.
3. Remove as much air as possible.
4. Seal securely, date, and label.
To Defrost:
1. Remove wrapper. This helps moisture to evaporate. Juices from food can get hot and cook the food.
2. Set food in microwave safe dish.
3. Place roasts fat-side down. Place whole poultry breast-side down.
4. Select power and minimum time so that items will be under­defrosted.
5. Drain liquids during defrosting.
6. Turn over (invert) items during defrosting.

F0003CD60AP_08.indd 50 2019/12/10 10:14:08
Food Characteristics
Bone and Fat
Both bone and fat affect cooking. Bones may cause irregular cooking. Meat next to the tips of bones may overcook while meat positioned under a large bone, such as a ham bone, may be undercooked. Large amounts of fat absorb microwave energy and the meat next to these areas may overcook.
Density
Porous, airy foods such as breads, cakes or rolls take less time to cook than heavy, dense foods such as potatoes and roasts. When reheating donuts or other foods with different centers be very careful. Certain foods have centers made with sugar, water, or fat and these centers attract microwaves (for example, jelly donuts). When a jelly donut is heated, the jelly can become extremely hot while the exterior remains warm to the touch. This could result in a burn if the food is not allowed to cool properly in the center.
Shape
Uniform sizes heat more evenly. The thin end of a drumstick will cook more quickly than the meaty end. To compensate for irregular shapes, place thin parts toward the center of the dish and thick pieces toward the edge.
Size
Thin pieces cook more quickly than thick pieces.
Starting Temperature
Foods that are at room temperature take less time to cook than if they are chilled, refrigerated or frozen.
Quantity
Two potatoes take longer to cook than one potato. As the quantity of the food decreases so does the cooking time. Overcooking will cause the moisture content in the food to decrease and a fire could result. Never leave microwave unattended while in use.
51
F0003CD60AP_08.indd 51 2019/12/10 10:14:08
Cooking Techniques
Piercing
Foods with skins or membranes must be pierced, scored or have a strip of skin peeled before cooking to allow steam to escape. Pierce clams, oysters, chicken livers, whole potatoes and whole vegetables. Whole apples or new potatoes should have a 1-inch (2.5 cm) strip of skin peeled before cooking. Score sausages and frankfurters. Do not Cook/Reheat whole eggs, with or without the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to explode, and possibly damage the oven or cause injury. Reheating SLICED hard-boiled eggs and cooking SCRAMBLED eggs is safe.
Browning
Foods will not have the same brown appearance as conventionally cooked foods or those foods which are cooked utilizing a browning feature. Meats and poultry may be coated with browning sauce, Worcestershire sauce, barbecue sauce or shake-on browning sauce. To use, combine browning sauce with melted butter or margarine and brush on before cooking. For quick breads or muffins, brown sugar can be used in the recipe in place of granulated sugar, or the surface can be sprinkled with dark spices before baking.
Spacing
Individual foods, such as baked potatoes, cupcakes and appetizers, will cook more evenly if placed in the oven equal distances apart. When possible, arrange foods in a circular pattern.
Covering
As with conventional cooking, moisture evaporates during microwave cooking. Casserole lids or plastic wrap are used for a tighter seal. When using plastic wrap, vent the plastic wrap by folding back part of the plastic wrap from the edge of the dish to allow steam to escape. Loosen or remove plastic wrap as recipe directs for standing time. When removing plastic wrap covers, as well as any glass lids, be careful to remove them away from you to avoid steam burns. Various degrees of moisture retention are also obtained by using wax paper or paper towels.
Shielding
Thin areas of meat and poultry cook more quickly than meaty portions. To prevent overcooking, these thin areas can be shielded with strips of aluminum foil. Wooden toothpicks may be used to hold the foil in place.
CAUTION is to be exercised when using foil. Arcing can occur if foil is too
close to oven wall or door and damage to your oven will result.
Cooking Time
Cooking times will vary because of food shape variations, starting temperature, and regional preferences. Always cook food for the minimum cooking time given in a recipe and check for doneness. If the food is undercooked, continue cooking. It is easier to add time to an undercooked product. Once the food is overcooked, nothing can be done.
Stirring
Stirring is usually necessary during microwave cooking. Always bring the cooked outside edges toward the center and the less cooked center portions toward the outside of the dish.
Standing Time
Most foods will continue to cook by conduction after the microwave oven is turned off. After cooking meat, the internal temperature will rise 5 °F to 15 °F (3 °C to 8 °C), if allowed to stand, tented with foil, for 10 to 15 minutes. Casseroles and vegetables need a shorter amount of standing time, but this standing time is necessary to allow foods to complete cooking to the center without overcooking on the edges.
Test for Doneness
The same tests for doneness used in conventional cooking may be used for microwave cooking. Meat is done when fork-tender or splits at fibers. Chicken is done when juices are clear yellow and drumstick moves freely. Fish is done when it flakes and is opaque. Cake is done when a toothpick or cake tester is inserted and comes out clean.
Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agriculture’s recommended temperatures. To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use.
Cook all food to these minimum internal temperatures as measured with a food thermometer before removing food from oven. For reasons of personal preference, you may choose to cook food at higher temperatures.

Rearranging
Rearrange small items such as chicken pieces, shrimp, hamburger patties or pork chops. Rearrange pieces from the edge to the center and pieces from the center to the edge of the dish.
Turning
It is not possible to stir some foods to distribute the heat evenly. At times, microwave energy will concentrate in one area of the food. To help ensure even cooking, these foods need to be turned. Turn over large foods, such as roasts or turkeys, halfway through cooking.

Care and Cleaning of Your Microwave Oven
Please see below and the following page for particular cleaning instructions for each section of the oven.
BEFORE CLEANING: Unplug oven at wall outlet. If outlet
is inaccessible, leave oven door open while cleaning. AFTER CLEANING: Be sure to place the Roller Ring and
the Glass Tray in the proper position and press Stop/ Reset Button to clear the Display.
1. Outside oven surfaces: Clean with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into ventilation openings.
2. Label: Do not remove. Wipe with a damp cloth.
3. Inside the Oven: Wipe with a damp cloth after using. Mild detergent may be used if needed. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.
4. Oven Door: Wipe with a soft dry cloth when steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door. During cooking, especially under high humidity conditions, steam is given off from the food. (Some steam will condense on cooler surfaces, such as the oven door. This is normal.) Inside surface is covered with a heat and vapor barrier film. Do not remove.
5. Oven Cavity Floor: Clean the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent, water or window cleaner, and dry.
6. Wave Guide Cover: Do not remove Wave Guide Cover. It is important to keep cover clean in the same manner as the inside of
the oven.
7. Control Panel: The Control Panel is covered with a removable protective film to prevent scratches during shipping. Small bubbles may appear under this film, so if this is the case, remove by applying masking or clear tape to an exposed corner and pull gently. If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean it with a soft dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.
8. Glass Tray: Remove and wash in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher.
9. Roller Ring: Roller Ring may be washed in mild soapy water or dishwasher. These areas should be kept clean to avoid excessive noise.
10. Enamel Tray/Wire Rack/Airfry Basket: refer to page 11.
 
IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE OVEN CLEAN AND DRY. FOOD RESIDUE AND CONDENSATION MAY CAUSE
RUSTING OR ARCING AND DAMAGE TO THE OVEN. AFTER USE, WIPE DRY ALL SURFACES,
INCLUDING VENT OPENINGS, OVEN SEAMS, AND UNDER GLASS TRAY.
NOTES:
1. After cooking, the oven should be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened with soapy water. If the oven is not cleaned occasionally to eliminate grease, it can accumulate and cause the oven to “Smoke” during use.
2. DO NOT SPRAY DIRECTLY INSIDE THE OVEN. A steam cleaner is not to be used for cleaning.

See below before calling for service, as most problems can easily be remedied by following these simple solutions:
Problem Solution
The oven causes TV interference.
Some radio, TV, Wi-Fi, cordless telephone, baby monitor, blue tooth or other wireless equipment interference might occur when you cook with the microwave oven. This interference is similar to the interference caused by small appliances such as mixers, vacuums, blow dryers, etc. It does not indicate a problem with your oven.
Steam accumulates on oven door and warm air comes from the oven vents.
During cooking, steam and warm air are given off from the food. Most of the steam and warm air are removed from the oven by the air which circulates in the oven cavity. However, some steam will condense on cooler surfaces such as the oven door. This is normal. After use, the oven should be wiped dry (see page 53).
Smoke and burnt smell will occur after the first use.
This is not a malfunction and will go away after a few uses.
Oven will not turn on.
The oven is not plugged in securely or needs to be reset; remove plug from outlet, wait ten seconds and re-insert.
Main circuit breaker or main fuse is tripped or blown. Reset main circuit breaker or replace main fuse.
There is a problem with the outlet; plug another appliance into the outlet to check if it is working.
Oven will not start cooking.
The door is not closed completely. Close the oven door securely. Start was not pressed after programming; Press dial to Start. Another program is already entered into the oven; press Stop/Reset to cancel
the previous program and enter new program. The program is not correct; program again according to the Owner’s manual. Stop/Reset has been pressed accidentally; program oven again.
The Glass Tray wobbles.
The Glass Tray is not positioned properly on the Roller Ring or there is food under the Roller Ring. Take out Glass Tray and Roller Ring. Wipe with a damp cloth and reset Roller Ring and Glass Tray properly..
When the oven is operating, there is noise coming from the Glass Tray.
The Roller Ring and oven bottom are dirty; clean these parts according to Care and Cleaning of Your Microwave Oven (see page 53).
The “
“ appears in
the display window.
The CHILD SAFETY LOCK was activated by pressing Stop/Reset three times; Deactivate CHILD SAFETY LOCK by pressing Stop/Reset three times.
The oven stops cooking and “H00“, “H97” or “H98” appears in the display.
The oven’s power supply has failed; please contact an authorized Service Center (see next page).
“HOT INSIDE WAIT” appears in the display window.
The cavity is overheated. Operate again after it cools down. Please open the door in order to cool the temperature of the cavity more quickly.
“DEMO MODE PRESS ANY KEY” or “D” appears in the display window.
The oven is under demonstration mode. Press Microwave button once, Start 4 times and Stop/Reset button 4 times.
