PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE
TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with
the door open. Doing so can result in harmful
exposure to microwave energy. It is important
not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.
(b) Do not place any object between the oven
front face and the door, or allow soil or cleaner
residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
A 120-Volt, 60-Hz, AC-only,
15 or 20-amp fused electrical supply is required
A time delay fuse is recommended. It is
recommended that a separate circuit, serving
only this appliance, is provided.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
v)RUDOOFRUGFRQQHFWHGDSSOLDQFHV
The microwave oven must be grounded.
In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for
the electric current. The microwave
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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is
particularly important that the oven door closes properly
and that there is no damage to the:
(1) Door (bent)

This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows the basics that you need to
know in order to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information before using your oven.
HOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN WORKS
Microwave ovens are safe. Microwave energy is not hot. It
causes food to make its own heat, and it is this heat that
cooks the food.
Microwaves are like TV waves, radio waves, or light waves.
You cannot see them, but you can see the results of what
they do.
A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves.
The microwaves move into the oven where they contact
food as it turns on the turntable.
The glass turntable of your microwave oven lets microwaves
pass through7KHPLFURZDYHVWKHQERXQFHRIIDPHWDO
pRRr, back through the glass turntable, and are absorbed
by the food.
RADIO INTERFERENCE
Using your microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV, or similar equipment. When there is
interference, you can reduce it or remove it by:
the door and sealing surfaces of the oven.
the receiving antenna of the radio or television.
the receiver away from the microwave oven.

COOKWARE GUIDE
Microwave Cooking
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.
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-resisant plastic microwave cookware (safe to 450
0
F) may be used, but is not recommended for foods that require
crusting or all-around browning, because plastic is a poor conductor of heat.

Using Aluminum Foil
NOTE: Metal containers should not be used in a microwave oven. There are, however, some exceptions. If you
have purchased food prepackaged in an aluminum foil container, refer to the instructions on the package.
When using aluminum foil containers, cooking times may be longer because microwaves will only penetrate
the top of the food. When using aluminum containers without package instructions, follow these guidelines:

Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your favorite
foods without selecting cooking times and power levels.
The display will indicate Sensing during the initial sensing

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.

TIPS FOR CONVECTION COOKING
operating each convection function. Please read these
instructions carefully.
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
pDYRUE\WKHFRQVWDQWPRWLRQRIKRWDLURYHUWKHIRRGVXUIDFHV
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.

You do not need to use any special techniques to adapt your
favorite oven recipes to convection cooking; however, you need
to lower oven temperature by 25°F from recommended
temperature mentioned in package instructions when cooking
packaged food in convection mode.
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.
All heat-proof cookware or metal utensils can be used in
convection cooking.
Use metal utensils only for convection cooking.
Never use for microwave or combination cooking since arcing
and damage to the oven may occur.
After preheating, if you do not open the door, the oven will
automatically hold at the preheated temperature for 30
minutes.

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.
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 oven-safe.
'XULQJFRPELQDWLRQEDNLQJVRPHEDNLQJFRRNZDUHPD\
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,immediately stop the cooking cycle and
place a microwavable safe dish between the pan and the
metal rack.
-We recommend you use the metal rack supplied 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.
