3 Insert the probe plug (A) into the receptacle in the top center of the oven cavity (ceiling of the oven).
Be sure the probe is securely inserted. This portion rotates as the food turns on the the turntable.
4, Avoid placing the rubber cord (C) directly on or in the food.
5, Program the oven for cooking by temperature or with Sensor Temp.
When the food reaches the programmed temperature, the oven will turn off automatically, Reposition the probe
to check temperature. Repeat the same program. If the temperature is low, cooking will continue until the correct
temperature is reached, If the temperature is correct, the oven will shut off. The time of day will reappear on

Use and Care of Temperature Probe
1, DO NOT OPERATE THE OVEN EMPTY WITH THE TEMPERATURE PROBE INSIDE, TO AVOID THIS
POSSIBILITY, DO NOT LEAVE THE PROBE 1N THE OVEN WHEN NOT IN USE
2. The temperature probe should be unplugged and removed from the oven when not in use° Store the probe in
a safe, convenient place outside the oven.
3.,Carefully wash the temperature probe in warm sudsy water and wipe dry,,
4, "[he temperature probe should never be allowed to touch the interior walls or door of the oven
5,, Do not use the temperature probe when using a browning dish,
6, This temperature probe is designed specifically for use in this oven,, Do not substitute any other probe for this
one_ The probe cannot be used in other microwave ovens.
7, Avoid harsh treatment of the probe, Do not drop the probe tt is a thermometer Handle it carefully,
8 Potho[ders may be needed when removing the temperature probe.
9, Do not remove the probe from the receptacle or from the food by pulling on the cord, Use the insulated handle,
10 Do not try to force the temperature probe into solidly frozen food.
1t, Temperatures are displayed in the range of 90°F to 230°F. The maximum temperature which can be entered is
200°E If a temperature more than 200°F or less than 90°F is set, _and the incorrect temperature will

Convection Cooking
During convection heating, hot air is circulated throughout the oven cavity to brown and crisp foods quickly and
evenly. This oven can be programmed for ten different convection cooking temperatures for up to 99 minutes 99
seconds.
The oven should not be usedwithout the turntable in place, and it should never be restricted so that it cannot rotate.
You may remove the turntable when preheating the oven and when preparing food to be c_ked directly on the
turntable.
Helpful Hints:
I. Foods may be cooked either directly on the turntable or with the rack or trivet on the turntable.
2_ Do not cover turntable, broiling trivet or baking rack with aluminum foil. It interferes with the flow of air that
cooks the food.
3. Round pizza pans are excellent cooking vesselsfor many convection-only items. Choose pans that do r_at have
extended handles.
4. Hot dogs cooked on the broiling trivet may be turned over to give an even, grilled appearance.
Automatic Mix Cooking:
This oven has two preprogrammed settings that make it easy to cook with both convection heat and microwave
automatically.
with the exception of those foods that cook best by convection heating alone, rn_ foods are well suited 1_ mix
cooking using either LOW MIXiBAK£ or H]GH MIX/ROAST_
The marriage of these two cooking methods produces juicy meats, moist and tender cakes, and fine textured breads,
allwithjusttherightamount ofbrowningand crispness,
Helpful Hints:
1. Meats may be roasted directly on the broiling trivet or in a shallow roasting pan on the trivet on the tumtable.
2. Lesstender cuts of beef can be roasted and tenderized using oven cooking bags.
3 When baking, check for doneness after time has elapsed. If not completely done, let stand in oven for a few
minutes to complete cooking.
NOTE:
During mix baking some metal baking utensils may cause arcing when thay come in contact with _e turntable, oven
walls or _1 accessory racks. Arcing is a discharge of electricity that occurs when microwaves come in contact
with metal If arcing occurs, place a heat resistant dish (Pyrex_pie plate, glass pizza dish or dinner plate) between
the pan and the turntable or trivet, tf arcing occurs with other baking utensils, discontinue their use for combination
cooking,

CAUTIOUS REMINDERS
Do not operate the oven empty in the microwave mode, Either food or water should always be in the oven
during operation to absorb microwave energy°
,,
Limit useof metal to those specific examples given in the utensil section of your cookbook, Generally, metal
should not be used during operations of microwave mode only. Metal utensils can be usedfor convection
and combination cooking.
Aluminum foil can be used for shielding to prevent overcooking or overdefrosting. Pieces should be small
and smooth. Never allow to touch oven wall or door.

Do not cookeggs in the shell° Pressurewill build up insidethe shel! and itwill explode. Do not reheatcooked
eggs unless they are scrambled or chopped. Puncture the egg yoke before cooking eggs.
Avoid canning in the microwave oven; harmful bacteria may not be destroyed,
Do not heat oil or fat for deep frying.
Pierce the "skin" of potatoes, whole squash, apples, or any fruit or vegetable with a skin covering before
cooking.
Popcorn may be cooked in a special microwave popcorn popper. Follow popper manufacturer's instructions
carefully. Microwave popped corn produces a lower yield than conventional popping; there will be a
number of unpopped kernels. Do not use oil unless specified by the manufacturer.
Popcorn bagged especially for the microwave oven can also be used, Follow package directions carefully
and never exceed the suggested times, usually five minutes° Elevatebagonan inverted glasspieplate, When
popping slows to one or two seconds between pops, remove from the oven, Do not try to re-pop unpopped
kernels°
,
Never use a regular paper bag or glass utensil for popping corn,
Do not use paper towels, plates, or other utensils made from recycled paper for microwave cooking.
Recycled paper products may contain impurities which could cause the paper to ignite during microwave
cooking.
.
Do not use plastic or styrofoam utensils for microwave cooking if the oven is hot from convection cooking.
The utensils may melt.
I 0. Unlike microwave-only ovens, all convection microwave ovens have the tendency to become hot on the
cabinet and oven door, as do conventional ovens and convection-only ovens° Be careful when touching
parts other than the control panel during or immediately following convection cooking.
CONDENSATION
Occasionally some foods will causethe oven to"sweat"_ The humidityand moisture in food will influence the amount
of moisture in the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause asmuch condensation asuncovered foods, Be sure
the vents are not blocked.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking.
The door seal is designed to prevent leakage of microwave energy during cooking, The door seal does not need to
be airtight in order to accomplish this. Occasionally moisture may appear around the oven door. You may be able
to seesome small areas of light or feel air movement around the oven door. None of these situations are abnormal
or necessarily indicate the oven is }eaking microwave energy.

CLEANUNG AND CARE
[Exleriorl
The outside surfaceisprecoated metal and plastic. Clean the outside with mild soap and water; rinseanddry with
a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.
[interior]
The oven walls, ceiling, and floor are stainless steel. For easy cleaning, wipe up any splatters or spills with a soft,
damp cloth or sponge after each use or clean with mild detergent and water.
For heavier soil, use a mild cleaner such as Soft Scrub ® or Bon Ami ® following manufacturer's instructions.
Commercial oven cleaner, preferably the brush-on type can be used following manufacturer's instructions. Apply
to stainless wails, floor, ceiling or turntable only. Do not usespray-on oven cleaner, it may damage internal parts.
Plastic or nylon scouring sponges or pads recommendedfor useonTeflon" and Silverstone* can be used on the oven
walls, ceiling or turntable. Besure to rinse cavity with adamp cloth or sponge after cleaning to remove completely
all cleaner residue° Dry with a soft cloth°
Do not use harsh abrasives.
* DuPont's registeredtrademark.
The turntable and turntable supportcan be removed for easy cleaning. Wash the turntable and turntable in mild,
sudsy water; for stubborn stains, use a mild cleanser and scouring sponge as described above. The turntable and
turntable support are dishwasher-proof.
Foods with high acidity, such as tomatoes and lemons, will cause the porcelain enamel turntable to discolor. Do
not cook highly acidic foods directly on the turntable; if spills occur, wipe up immediately.
The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should not be allowed to stand in this area.
