MANUAL COOKING

USING ONE TOUCH START

This is a time saving pad that will automatically start cooking 2 seconds after selected. Numeric key 1 to 9 can be touched for a 1 minute to minutes automatic start cooking feature.

• Suppose you want to cook 3 minutes at 100% power

USING ADD 30 SEC

This is a time saving pad. It is a simplified feature that lets you quickly set and start microwave cooking at 100% power

• Suppose you want to set and start microwave cooking at 100% for 30 SEC.

SETTING TIMED COOKING WITH POWER LEVEL

This feature lets you program a specific cook time and power. For best results, there are 11 power level settings in addition to HIGH (100%) power. Refer to the "Microwave Power Levels" table

• Suppose you want to cook for five minutes at 70% power.

SETTING TWO-STAGE COOKING

For best results, some recipes call for different power levels during a cook cycle. You can program your oven for two power level stages during the cooking cycle.

• To set a 2-stage cook cycle. The first stage is a 2 minutes cook time at 30% cook power then a 4 minutes cook time at 70% cook power

When the first stage finishes, the oven will beep. "FIRST STAGE DONE" will show on the display. The second stage starts automatically.

Broill/Grill COOKING

The broil / grill touch pad lets you broil at a high or low setting and also cook fresh and frozen pizza. See table below

• Suppose you want to broil or grill for 20 minutes with the low level

Pizza tips

• For fresh pizza use a pizza paddle for sliding the pizza on and from the metal turntable.
• If using a pizza paddle, sprinkle the paddle liberally with cornmeal for ease in transferring the dough to the metal turntable.
• Maximum size is 12 inches for fresh and frozen pizzas.
• Avoid using a pizza stone as it can damage the oven.
• The metal turntable can be used for cutting pizza into slices. Remove the turntable from the oven after the pizza is baked.

MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS

For best results, some recipes call for different cook powers. The lower the cook power, the slower the cooking. Each number from 1 to 9 stands for a different percentage of full cook power.

The following table gives the percentage of cook power each number pad stands for, and the cook power name usually used

The table also tells you when to use each cook power. Follow recipe or food package instructions if available.

NOTE : Refer to a reliable cookbook for cooking times based on the 1000 Watt cook power of your microwave oven.

AUTO COOKING

USING AUTO DEFROST

Three defrost sequences are preset in the oven.

The auto defrost feature provides you with the best defrosting method for frozen foods. The cooking guide will show you which defrost sequence is recommended for the food you are defrosting.

For added convenience, the Auto Defrost includes a built-in beep mechanism that reminds you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange the food in order to get the best defrost results. Three different defrosting levels are provided:

1. MEAT
2. POULTRY
3. FISH

Available weight is 0.1-6.0 lbs.

• Suppose you want to defrost 0.6 lbs of meat.

OPERATING TIPS

• 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
• For best results, roll your ground meat into a ball before freezing. During the DEFROST cycle, the microwave will signal when it is time to turn the meat over. Scrape off any excess frost from the meat and continue defrosting.
• Place foods in a shallow containers or on a microwave roasting rack to catch drippings. This table shows food type selections and the weights you can set for each type. For best results, loosen or remove covering on food.

Weight conversion table

You are probably used to measuring food in pounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for example, 4 ounces equals 1/4 pound). However, in order to enter food weight in Auto Defrost, you must specify pounds and tenths of a pound. If the weight on the food package is in fractions of a pound, you can use the following table to convert the weight to decimals

AUTO DEFROST TABLE

NOTE: Meat of irregular shape and large, fatty cuts of meat should have the narrow or fatty areas shielded with foil at the beginning of the defrost sequence.

MEAT SETTINGS

AUTO DEFROST TABLE (CONTINUED)

POULTRY SETTINGS

FISH SETTINGS

DEFROSTING TIPS

• When using Auto Defrost, the weight to be entered is the net weight (the weight of the food minus the container)
• Before starting, make sure to remove any and all metal twist-ties that often come with frozen food bags, and replace them with strings or elastic bands.
• Open containers, such as cartons, before placing in the oven.
• Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging.
• If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place food in a suitable container
• Slit the skin of skinned food, such as sausage
• Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even defrosting
• Always under estimate defrosting time. If defrosted food is still icy in the center, return it to the microwave oven for more defrosting
• The length of defrosting time varies according to how solidly the food is frozen.

SETTING POPCORN

The Popcorn quick touch pad lets you pop 3.3, 3.0, 1.75 ounce bags of commercially packaged microwave popcorn. Pop only one package at a time. If you are using a microwave popcorn popper, follow manufacturer's instructions.

• Suppose you want to pop a 3.3 oz. popcorn

• The shape of the package affects how quickly food will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than a deep block.
• As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces. Separated pieces defrost more easily.
• Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails, or areas that start to get warm. Make sure the foil does not touch the sides, top, or bottom of the oven. The foil can damage the oven lining.
• For better results, let food stand after defrosting.(For more information on standing time, see the "Microwave Cooking Tips" section).
• Turn over food during defrosting or standing time. Break apart and remove food as required.

SETTING VEGGIES

The Veggies quick touch pad lets you cook fresh and frozen vegetables.

• Suppose you want to cook frozen veggies

SETTING MELT/SOFTEN

The oven uses low power to melt and soften items. See the following table.

• Suppose you want to melt 8 oz. of Chocolate.

MELT/SOFTEN TABLE

SENSOR COOKING

SENSOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your favorite foods without selecting cooking times and power levels. The display will show the selected food type 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. Always use microwavable containers.
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
5. . Foods should always be covered with microwavable plastic wrap,waxed paper , or a lid. Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook
6. Do not open the door or touch the STOP key during the sensing time. When sensing time is over, the oven beeps 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.

USING SENSOR COOK

Using SENSOR COOK lets you cook common microwave-prepared foods without needing to program times and cook powers

• Suppose you want to cook fish seafood with sensor.

USING SENSOR REHEAT

Using SENSO R REHEAT lets you common microwave-prepared foods without selecting cooking times and power levels.

• Suppose you want to reheat . or fish seafood soup sauce

CONVECTION COOKING

TIPS FOR CONVECTION COOKING

This section gives you cooking instructions and procedures for 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 flavor by the constat 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. Do not cover turntable or metal rack with aluminum foil. interfere withthe flow of at that cooks the food.

2. Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utenss {for many convection-only items. Choose pans that do not have extended handles.

3. Use convection cooking for tems tke soufies. breads. cookies. ange! food cakes. pizza. and for some meat and fish.

4. You do not need to use any special techniques to adapt your avorte oven recipes to convection coking; however. you need to lower oven temperature by 25°F from recommended temperature mentioned in package instructions when cooking packaged food in convection mode.

5. When baking cakes, cookies, breads, rolls, or other baked foods, most recipes call for preheating. Preheat the empty oven jst as you do a regular oven. You can stat heavier dense foods such as meats, casseroles, and pouty without preheating.

6. All heat-proof cookware or metal utensils can be used in “convection cooking.

7. Use metal utensils only for convection cooking.

   Never use for microwave or combination cooking since arcing and damage tothe oven may ocur.

8. After preheating, if you do not open the door the oven will automaticaly hold atthe preheated temperature for 30 minutes.

PRECAUTIONS

• The oven cavity, door, metal turntable tray, ceramic tay, metal rack, and cooking utensils will become very hot. USE THICK OVEN GLOVES when removing the food, cooking utensis,metal turntable tray, ceramic tray, metal rack from there over after convection cooking.
• Do not use ightweight plastic containers, plastic wraps, or paper products during any convection.

CONVECTION BAKE

• Suppose you want to bake 33 min at 375 degree.

CONVECTION ROAST

• Suppose you want to roast 33 min at 375 degree

CONVECTION PREHEAT

• Suppose you want to preheat 350 degree.

CONVECTION KEEP WARM

• Suppose you want to keep warm for 33min

CONVECTION BAKING GUIDELINES

1. Dark or non-shiny finishes, glass, and pyroceram absorb heat which may result in dry,crisp crusts
2. Preheating the oven is recommended when baking foods by convection.
3. 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.

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
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, 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
• If arcing occurs with other baking cookware, do not use them for combination cooking.

CLEANING AND CARE

EXTERIOR

The outside surface is precoated steel and plastic. Clean the outside with mild soap and water; rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.

DOOR

Disconnect the power cord or deactivate the oven with setting Child Lock before cleaning to prevent unexpected manipulation. Wipe the window on both sides with a soft cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a soft cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.

EASY CARE™ STAINLESS STEEL / SMUDGE _PROOF™ STAINLESS STEEL /BLACK STAINLESS STEEL(SOME MODELS)

Your microwave oven(some models) may have a Stainless Steel finish or coating. Clean the stainless with warm soapy water using a clean sponge or cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft clean cloth. DO NOT use ANY store bought cleaners like Stainless Steel cleaners or any other types of cleaners containing any abrasive, chlorides, chlorines or ammonia. It is recommended to use mild dish soap and water or a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar.

INTERIOR

Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to the interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and setting of spills or spattering. To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use baking soda or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. The rack can be cleaned with hot soapy water, rinsed and dried

WAVEGUIDE COVER

The waveguide cover is located on the ceiling in the microwave oven cavity. It is made from mica so requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good microwave oven performance. Carefully wipe with a damp cloth any food spatters from the surface of the cover immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and cause smoke or possibly catch fire. DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER

ODOR REMOVAL

Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the microwave oven. To remove, combine 1 cup water, grated peel and juice of 1 lemon and several whole cloves in a 2-cup glass measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using 100% power. Allow to set in microwave oven until cool. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.

METAL TURNTABLE TRAY AND CERAMIC TRAY

The metal turntable tray and ceramic tray can be removed for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy water. They are also dishwasher-proof. Use upper rack of dishwasher. The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should be wiped up immediately.

TOUCH CONTROL PANEL

Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open the microwave oven door before cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close door and touch STOP/CLEAR
