The display will indicate SENSING 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 Tray (TURNTABLE) and outside of container should be dry to assure best cooking results. 3. Foods should always be 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 cover-

ings help assure good Sensor cook-

ing results. 1. Always use microwavable con-

tainers 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. 4. Be sure the outside of the cooking container and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor. ADDING OR SUBTRACTING 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 sensing is displayed. Example: If you want to adjust the Sensor Cook (rice) cooking time for longer time. 1. Touch SENSOR COOK pad. 2. Choose food cate-

gory. 3. Touch MORE pad. SENSOR POPCORN POPCORN lets you pop 3.0, and 3.5 ounce bags of commercially packaged microwave popcorn. Pop only one package at a time.

The RAPID DEFROST 1lb. feature provides a rapid defrost for 1.0 pound frozen food. The oven automatically sets the defrosting time for ground beef. Example: To defrost 1lb. ground beef. 1. Touch AUTO DEFROST pad. 2. Touch the number 5 pad. 3. Touch ENTER/

START pad. OPERATION (contd) AUTO DEFROST Five defrost choices are preset in the oven. The defrost feature provides you with the best defrosting method for frozen foods, because the oven automatically sets the defrosting times for each food item according to the weight you enter. For added convenience, the AUTO DEFROST includes a built-in tone mechanism that reminds you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange the food during the defrost cycle. Five different defrosting options are provided. 1. MEAT 2. POULTRY 3. FISH 4. BREAD 5. RAPID - only 1 lb. After touching the AUTO DEFROST button once, select the category by touching the numeric pad 1(MEAT), numeric pad 2(POULTRY), numeric pad 3(FISH), numeric pad 4(BREAD), and numeric pad 5(RAPID - only 1 lb). Available weight ranges for Meat, Poultry and Fish are 0.1 to 6.0 lbs. The available weight range for Bread is 0.1 to 1.0 lb. Example : To defrost 1.2 lbs of meat. 1. Touch AUTO DEFROST pad. 2. Choose food cate-

gory. 3. Enter the weight. 4. Touch ENTER/

START pad. NOTE: After you touch ENTER/

START button, the display counts down the defrost time. The oven will beep once during the Defrost cycle. At this time, open the door and turn, separate, or rearrange the food as needed. Remove any portions that have thawed then return frozen portions to the oven and touch ENTER/START button to resume the defrost cycle. The oven will not stop during the BEEP unless the door is opened. For best results:

Remove fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry from its original closed paper or plastic package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and juice close to the foods, which can cause the outer surface of the foods to cook. 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 in a shallow glass baking dish or on a microwave roasting rack to catch drippings. Foods should still be somewhat icy in the center when removed from the oven. AUTO DEFROST TABLE Category MEAT 0.1 to 6.0 lbs

When the oven reaches the set preheat temperature, five tones will sound and the oven will auto-

matically 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. 13 OPERATION (contd) CONVECTION COOKING GUIDE 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. 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 excluding meats, casseroles and poultry. 5. To prevent uneven heating and save energy, open the oven door to check food as little as possible.

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. 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. 17 OPERATION (contd) COMBINATION BAKE COOKING GUIDE FOOD Breads Biscuits Pies, Pastries Convenience Foods Quiche Frozen Entre Frozen Pizza Rolls, Egg Rolls Pizza Vegetables Baked Potatoes OVEN TEMP.

After cooking, the display will return to the time of day, when you open the door. BROIL COOKING INTRODUCTION This oven cooks the outside of foods much like conventional radiant heat, while also penetrating the surface so the inside cooks simultanecusly. 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 less than 2 inches 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 perieds 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. AUTO BROIL COOKING

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 Sliced meat 3 slices (1/4-inch thick) COOK TIME

(treated for high intensity heat):

Utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and bowls without metallic trim. CHINA:

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. Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters without metallic trim. ALUMINUM FOIL:

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. 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. 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 hot and could cause a fire. 25 TROUBLE SHOOTING BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE Check the following list to be sure a service call is necessary. Reviewing additional information on items to check may prevent an unneeded service call. PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES If nothing on the oven operates check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. check if oven is properly connected to electric circuit in house. check that controls are set properly. If the oven interior light does not work the light bulb is loose or defective. If oven will not cook If oven takes longer than normal to cook or cooks too rapidly check that control panel was programmed correctly. check that door is firmly closed. check that Start Pad was touched. check that timer wasnt started instead of a cook function. be sure the Power Level is programmed properly. If the time of day clock does not always keep correct time check that the power cord is fully inserted into the outlet receptacle. be sure the oven is the only appliance on the electrical circuit. If food cooks unevenly be sure food is evenly shaped. be sure food is completely defrosted before cooking. check placement of aluminum foil strips used to prevent overcooking. If food is undercooked check recipe to be sure all directions (amount, time, and power levels) were correctly followed. be sure microwave oven is on a separate circuit. be sure food is completely defrosted before cooking. If food is overcooked check recipe to be sure all directions (amount, power level, time, size of dish) were followed. If arcing (sparks) occur be sure microwavable dishes were used. be sure wire twist ties were not used. be sure oven was not operated when empty. make sure metal rack (if used) is properly installed on 4 supports. If the display shows a time counting down but the oven is not cooking check that door is firmly closed. check that timer was not started instead of a cooking function. Vent fan starts automatically If the temperature gets too hot around the microwave oven, the fan in the vent hood will automatically turn on at the LOW setting to cool the oven. It may stay on up to an hour to cool the oven. 26 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe personal injury or death, do not remove outer case at any time, only an authorized servicer should remove outer case. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS QUESTION ANSWER Can I use a rack in my microwave oven so that I may reheat or cook in two rack positions at a time?

Only use the rack that is supplied with your microwave oven. Use of any other rack can result in poor cooking performance and/or arcing and may damage your oven. Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my microwave oven?

Usable metal includes aluminum foil for shielding (use small, flat pieces). Never allow metal to touch walls or door. Sometimes the door of my microwave oven appears wavy. Is this normal?

What are the humming noises I hear when my microwave oven is operating?

Why does the dish become hot when I microwave food in it?

What does standing time mean?

Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven?

How do I get the best results?

This appearance is normal and does not affect the operation of your oven. This is the sound of the transformer when the magnetron tube cycles on and off. As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to the dish. Use hot pads to remove food after cooking. Dish may not be microwave safe. Standing time means that food should be taken out of the oven and covered for additional time after cooking. This process allows the cooking to finish, saves energy, and frees the oven for other purposes. Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufacturers guidelines or use the preprogrammed Popcorn pad. Do not use regular paper bags. Use the listening test by stopping the oven as soon as the popping slows to a pop every one or two seconds. Do not try to repop unpopped kernels. You can also use special microwave poppers. When using a popper, be sure to follow manufacturers directions. Do not pop popcorn in glass utensils. 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 out the top vent. 27 WARRANTY Full Two Year Warranty For two (2) years from the date of original retail purchase, any part which fails in normal home use will be repaired or replaced free of charge.
