Microwave cooking uses very short, high-frequency radio waves. The movement of the microwaves through the food generates heat and cooks most foods faster than regular methods, while retaining their natural texture and moisture. Microwave cooking heats food directly, not the cookware or the interior of the oven. Reheating is easy and defrosting is particularly convenient because less time is spent in food preparation. Convection cooking constantly circulates heated air around the food, creating even browning and sealed-in flavor by the constant motion of hot air over the food surfaces. Combination cooking combines microwave energy with convection to cook with speed and accuracy, while browning and crisping to perfection. You can use microwave cooking, convection cooking, or combination cooking to cook by time. Simply preset the length of cooking time desired and your oven turns off automatically. The following guide shows at a glance the difference between microwave, convection, and combination cooking. MICROWAVE CONVECTION COMBINATION E N G L S H I COOKING METHOD Microwave energy is distributed evenly throughout the oven for fast, thorough cooking of food. Hot air circulates around food to produce browned exteriors and sealed-in juices. HEAT SOURCE Microwave energy. Circulating heated air. Microwave energy and convection heat combine to shorten the cooking time of regular ovens, while browning and sealing in juices. Microwave energy and circulating heated air. BENEFITS Fast, high efficiency cooking. Oven and surroundings do not get hot. Easy clean-up. Aids in browning and seals in flavor. Cooks some foods faster than regular ovens. Shortened cooking time from microwave energy. Browning and crisping from convection heat. Read this guide to learn the many different things your Microwave/Convection/Combination Oven can do. You will find a wide variety of cooking methods and programs designed to suit your lifestyle. 7 UNDERSTANDING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN COOKWARE GUIDE Microwave Cooking Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe for use in your microwave oven. However, to test cookware before using, follow these steps:
1. Place the empty cookware in the microwave oven. 2. Measure 1 cup of water in a glass measuring cup and place it in the oven beside the cookware. 3. Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. If the dish is warm, it should not be used for microwave cooking. Combination Cooking Glass or glass-ceramic baking containers are recommended. Be sure not to use items with metal trim as it may cause arcing (sparking) with oven wall or oven shelf, damaging the cookware, the shelf or the oven. Heat-resistant plastic microwave cookware (safe to 450F) may be used, but is not recommended for foods that require crusting or all-around browning, because plastic is a poor conductor of heat. I H S L G N E Convection Cooking Metal Pans are recommended for all types of baked products, but especially where browning or crusting is important. Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and pies because they absorb heat and produce a crisper crust. Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies, or muffins because these pans reflect heat and help produce a light, tender crust. Glass or glass-ceramic casserole or baking dishes are best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to the cleanability of glass.

Foods cooked a shorter time can be brushed with a browning agent, such as Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, or barbecue sauce. COVERING A cover traps heat and steam and causes the food to cook more quickly. Use a lid or microwave-safe plastic wrap with one corner folded back to vent the excess steam. Lids on glass casseroles can become hot during cooking. Handle carefully. Waxed paper will prevent the food from splattering in the oven and help retain heat. When warming bread items, use waxed paper, napkins, or paper towels. To absorb extra moisture, wrap sandwiches and fatty foods in paper towels. SPACING Arrange individual foods, such as baked potatoes, cupcakes, and hors doeuvres in a circle and at least 1 inch apart. This will help the food cook more evenly. STIRRING Stirring blends flavors and redistributes the heat in foods. Always stir from the outside toward the center of the dish. Food at the outside of the dish heats first. TURNING Large foods, such as roasts and whole poultry, should be turned so that the top and bottom cook evenly. Also turn over chicken pieces and chops. CLEANING Wipe the oven inside and outside with a soft cloth and a mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry. This should be done weekly or more often, if needed. Never use cleaning powders or rough pads. Excessive oil splatters on the inside top will be difficult to remove if left for many days. Wipe splatters with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or bacon. REMOVABLE PARTS The metal tray, metal rack, glass turntable and turntable roller rest are removable. They should be hand-washed in warm (not hot) water with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Once they are clean, rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Never use cleaning powders, steel wool, or rough pads. ARRANGEMENT Do not stack food. Arrange in a single layer in the dish for more even cooking. Because dense foods cook more slowly, place thicker portions of meat, poultry, fish, and vegetables toward the outside of the dish. TESTING FOR DONENESS Because foods cook quickly in a microwave oven, you need to test frequently for doneness. STANDING TIME Depending on density, food often needs to stand from 2 to 15 minutes either in or outside of oven after cooking power shuts off. Outside of oven, you usually need to cover food during standing time to retain heat. Remove most foods when they are slightly undercooked and they will finish cooking during standing time. The internal temperature of food will rise about 10F during standing time. SHIELDING To prevent some portions of rectangular or square dishes from overcooking, you may need to shield them with small strips of aluminum foil to block the microwaves. You can also cover poultry legs and wing tips with foil to keep them from overcooking. Always keep foil at least 1 inch from oven walls to prevent arcing. PIERCING Pierce the shell, skin, or membrane of foods before cooking to prevent them from bursting. Foods that require piercing include yolks and whites of eggs, hot dogs, clams, oysters, and whole vegetables, such as potatoes and squash. Removable parts may be cleaned at the sink. Be careful not to chip or scratch the edges as this may cause them to break during use. The metal tray and glass turntable may also be cleaned in a dishwasher. The turntable roller rest should be cleaned regularly. SPECIAL CARE For best performance and safety, the inner door panel and the oven front frame should be free of food or grease buildup. Wipe often with a mild detergent; then rinse and wipe dry. Never use cleaning powders or rough pads. After cleaning the control panel, touch STOP/CLEAR to clear any entries that might have been entered accidentally while cleaning the panel. 10 USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN OPTIONS CHILD LOCK Example: To set the clock for 10:30(AM) Touch:

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. Your oven uses convection cooking whenever you use the Convection Button. DO NOT USE THE OVEN WITHOUT THE TURNTABLE IN PLACE. 1. Always use the metal rack on the turntable when convection cooking. 2. Do not cover turntable or metal rack with aluminum foil. It interferes with the flow of air that cooks the food. 3. Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils for many convection-only items. Choose pans that do not have extended handles. 4. Use convection cooking for items like souffls, breads, cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and for some meat and fish cooking. 5. Your oven comes equipped with metal tray which can be used for cooking on convection mode or combination mode. 6. You do not need to use any special techniques to adapt your favorite oven recipes to convection cooking; however, you may need to lower some temperatures or reduce some cooking times from the convectional oven cooking directions. See examples in the charts in this section. I H S L G N E 7. When baking cakes, cookies, breads, rolls, or other baked foods, most recipes call for preheating. Preheat the empty oven just as you do a regular oven. You can start heavier dense foods such as meats, casseroles, and poultry without preheating. 8. All heatproof cookware or metal utensils can be used in convection cooking. 9. As in conventional cooking, the distance of the food from the heat source affects cooking results. Refer to the charts in this Use and Care Guide. 10. Use metal utensils only for convection cooking. Never use for microwave or combination cooking since arcing and damage to the oven may occur. 11. After preheating, if you do not open the door, the oven will automatically hold at the preheated temperature for 30 minutes. 12. Lower oven temperature by 25F from package recommended temperature. PRECAUTIONS The oven cavity, door, turntable, rotating ring, metal racks, and cooking utensils will become very hot. USE THICK OVEN GLOVES when removing the food, cooking utensil, metal rack, and turntable from the oven after convection cooking. Do not use lightweight plastic containers, plastic wraps, or paper products during any convection cycle. 16 USING YOUR CONVECTION OVEN Example: To set the convection cooking at 375F for 30 minutes without preheating.

When the oven reaches the set preheat temperature, five tones will sound and the oven will automatically hold that temperature for 30 minutes. The oven temperature drops very quickly when the door is opened; however, this should not prevent food from being fully cooked during normal cooking time. 17 USING YOUR CONVECTION OVEN CONVECTION COOKING GUIDE 1. Always use the metal rack when convection baking. Place food directly on rack or place in metal tray and then place tray on rack. (See page 9.) 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. 5. To prevent uneven heating and save energy, open the oven door to check food as little as possible. FOOD Oven Temp. Time, Min.

TIPS FOR COMBINATION COOKING 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 1. Meats may be roasted directly on the metal rack or in a shallow roasting pan placed on the rack. When using the metal rack, please check your cooking guide for information on proper use. 2. Less tender cuts of beef can be roasted and tenderized using oven cooking bags. 3. 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. PRECAUTIONS 1. 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. If arcing occurs, place a heatproof dish between the pan and the metal rack. We recommend you use the metal tray applied with your oven. It has rubber feet that helps prevent arcing. If arcing occurs with other baking cookware, do not use them for combination cooking. 21 USING YOUR COMBINATION OVEN COMBINATION COOKING GUIDE MEATS Beef I H S L G N E Ham Lamb Pork Rib (2 to 4 lbs.)

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. ITEMS COOK TIME SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

Answer There may be several reasons why the oven light is not on. Have you:
Set a cook time?
Touched START?
Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?
Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam. I H S L G N E Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates empty?
Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door?
Why does a tone sound when a pad on the control panel is touched?
Can my microwave oven be damaged if food is cooked for too long?
When the oven is plugged into wall outlet for the first time, it might not work properly. What is wrong?
Yes. Never operate the oven empty or without the glass turntable. No. The metal screen bounces the energy back to the oven cavity. The holes (or ports) allow only light to pass through. They do not let microwave energy pass through. The tone tells you that the setting has been entered. Like any other cooking appliance, it is possible to overcook food to the point that the food creates smoke and even possibly fire and damage to the inside of the oven. It is always best to be near the oven while you are cooking. The microcomputer controlling your oven may temporarily become scrambled and fail to function as programmed when you plug in for the first time or when power resumes after a power interruption. Unplug the oven from the ~120 volt household outlet and then plug it back in to reset the microcomputer. Why do I see light reflection around the outer case?
This light is from the oven light which is located between the oven cavity and the outer wall of the oven. What are the various sounds I hear when the microwave oven is operating?
The clicking sound is caused by a mechanical switch turning the microwave ovens magnetron ON and OFF. The heavy hum and clunk is from the change in power the magnetron draws as it is turned ON and OFF by a mechanical switch. The change in blower speed is from the change in line voltage caused by the magnetron being turned ON and OFF. Food Question Answer What is wrong when baked foods have a hard, dry, brown spot?
A hard, dry, brown spot indicates overcooking. Shorten the cooking or reheating time. Why do eggs sometimes pop?
When baking, frying, or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to steam build-up inside the yolk membrane. To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk before cooking. CAUTION: Never microwave eggs in the shell. 26 TROUBLESHOOTING Questions and Answers (continued) Food Question Answer What is wrong when baked foods have a hard, dry, brown spot?
A hard, dry, brown spot indicates overcooking. Shorten the cooking or reheating time. Why do eggs sometimes pop?
Why are scrambled eggs sometimes a little dry after cooking?
Why do baked apples sometimes burst during cooking?
When baking, frying, or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to steam buildup inside the yolk membrane. To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk with a wooden toothpick before cooking. CAUTION: Never microwave eggs in the shell. Eggs will dry out when they are overcooked, even if the same recipe is used each time. The cooking time may need to be varied for one of these reasons:
Eggs vary in size. Eggs are at room temperature one time and at refrigerator temperature another time. Eggs continue cooking during standing time. The peel has not been removed from the top half of each apple to allow for expansion of the interior of the apple during cooking. As in conventional cooking methods, the interior of the apple expands during the cooking process. E N G L S H I Why do baked potatoes sometimes burn during cooking?
If the cooking time is too long, fire could result. At the end of the recommended cooking time, potatoes should be slightly firm. CAUTION: Do not overcook. Why is a standing time recommended after microwave cooking time is over?
Standing time allows foods to continue cooking evenly for a few minutes after the actual microwave oven cooking cycle ends. The amount of standing time depends upon the density of the foods. Why is additional time required for cooking food stored in the refrigerator?
As in conventional cooking, the initial temperature of food affects total cooking time. You need more time to cook food taken out of a refrigerator than for food at room temperature. 27 TROUBLESHOOTING BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE You can often correct operating problems yourself.
