Operating safety precautions
J
J
Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside
the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may
cause them to burstand burn you, and
possibly damage the oven. Slice hard-boiled
eggs before heating. In rare instances,
poached eggs have been known to explode.
Cover poached eggs and allow a standing
time of one minute before cutting into them.
Stir before heating
Never lean on the door or allow a child to
swing on itwhen the door is open. Injury
could result,
J
Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not
heat containers, but the hot food does.
For best results, stir any liquid several
times before heating or reheating. Liquids
heated in certain containers (especially
cylindrical containers) may become over-
heated. The liquid may splash out with a
loud noise during or after heating or when
adding ingredients (coffee granules, tea
bags, etc.) resulting in harm to the oven
and possible personal injury.
Do not overcook potatoes. Fire could
result. At the end of the recommended
cooking time, potatoes should be slightly
firm because they will continue cooking
during standing time. After mlcrowaving,
wrap potatoes in foil and set aside for
5 minutes, They will finish cooking while
standing.
7
Donot start a microwave oven when it is
empty, Product life may be shortened.
If you practice programming the oven,
put a container of water in the oven.
Do not use newspaper or other printed
paper in the oven. Fire could result.
Do not dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood,
paper, gourds, or clothes in the oven. Fire
could result.
Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven.
Paraffin wax will not melt in a microwave
oven because it allows microwaves to
pass through it.
Ceramic glass turntable
Do not operate in the microwave mode
unless the ceramic glass turntable is
securely in place and can rotate freely.
The turntable can rotate in either direction.
Make sure the turntable is correct-side
up in oven. Carefully place cookware on

Getting to Know Your
Microwave-Convection
Oven
This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking and introduces you to the
basics you need to know to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information
before use.
How microwave cooking works
Magnetron
Microwave ovens are safe. Microwave
energy is not hot. Itcauses food to make
its own heat, and it's this heat that cooks
the food.
Microwaves are like TV waves or light
waves. You cannot see them, but you can
see what they do.
Oven cavity
A magnetron in the microwave oven
produces microwaves. The microwaves
move into the oven where they contact
food as it turns on the turntable.
12
Ceramic glassturntable
eli
Metal floor
The ceramic glass turntable of your
microwave over} lets microwaves pass
through. Then they bounce off a metal floor,
back through the ceramic glass turntable,
and are absorbed by the food.
Microwaves pass through most glass,
paper, and plasticswithout heating them
so food absorbs the energy. Microwaves
bounce off metal containers so food does
not absorb the energy.
Microwaves may not reach the center of a
roast. The heat spreads to the center trom
the outer, cooked areas just as in regular
oven cooking. This is one of the reasons for
letting some foods (for example, roasts or
baked potatoes) stand for a while after
cooking, or for stirring some foods during
the cooking time.
The microwaves disturb water molecules
in the food. As the molecules bounce around
bumping into each other, heat is made, like
rubbing your hands together. This is the
heat that does the cooking.
Radio interference
Operation of the microwave oven may cause
interference to your radio, TV, or similar
equipment. When there is interference, it
may be reduced or eliminated by taking the
following measures:
• Clean door and sealing surfaces of
the oven.
• Adjust the receiving antenna of radio
or television.
• Move the receiver away from the micro-
wave oven.
• Plug the microwave oven into a different
outlet so that the microwave oven and
receiver are on different branch circuits.

Microwave cooking at different cook powers
For best results, some recipes call for different
cook powers. The lower the cook power, the
slower the cooking. Each Number Pad also
stands for a different percentage of cook
power. Many microwave cookbook recipes
tell you by number, percent, or name which
cook power to use.
The following chart gives the percentage of
cook power each Number Pad stands for,
and the cook power name usually used. It
also tells you when to use each cook power.
Follow recipe or food package instructions if

Weight conversion chart
You are probably used to food weights as
being in pounds and ounces that are frac-
tions of a pound (for example 4 ounces
equals Y4pound). However, in order to enter
food weight in DEFROST, you must specify
pounds and tenths of a pound.
If the weight on the food package is in
fractionsof a pound, you can use the
following chart to convert the weight to
decimals.

Defrosting tips
• When using DEFROST, the weight to be
entered is the net weight in pounds and
tenths of pounds (the weight of the food
minus the container).
• Only use DEFROST for raw food,
DEFROST gives best results when food
to be thawed is a minimum of 0°F. If food
has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer
that does not maintain a temperature of
0°F or below, always program a lower
food weight (for a shorter defrosting time)
to prevent cooking the food.
• If the food Is kept outside the freezer
for up to 20 minutes, enter a lower food
weight.
• If the food Is kept outside the freezer for
more than 20 minutes, and for defrosting
ready-made food, defrost by time and
power and let stand after defrosting.
• The shape of the package alters the
defrosting time. Shallow rectangular
packets defrost more quickly than a
deep block.
• Separate pieces as they begin to defrost.
Separated pieces defrost more easily.
• You can use small pieces of aluminum
foil to shield foods like chicken wings, leg
tips,and fish tails, but the foil must not
touch the side of the oven. Foil can
damage the oven lining.
• Shield areas of food with small pieces
of foil if they startto become warm. Make
sure the foil does not touch the side of
the oven.
• For better results, a preset standing
time is included in the defrosting time.
This may make the defrosting time seem
longer than expected. (For more informa-
tionon standing time, see "Microwave
cookingtips"on page 54.)

Convection Cooking
This section gives you instructions for operating each convection function. Please read these
instructions carefully.
How convection cooking works
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. Your oven
uses convection cooking whenever you use
the Convection Command Pads. DO NOT
USE THE OVEN WITHOUT THE TURN-
TABLE IN PLACE.
Helpful hints for convection
cooking:
• You can cook food either directly on the
turntable or with the Bi-Level Cooking Rack
on the turntable.
• Do not cover turntable or baking rack with
aluminum foil. It interferes with the flow of
air that cooks the food.
• Round pizza pans are excellent cooking
utenslls for many convection-only items.
Choose pans that do not have extended
handles.
• You may remove the turntable when
preheating the oven and when preparing
food to be cooked directly on the turntable.
• Use convection cooking for items like
souffles, breads, cookies, angel food
cakes, pizza, and for some meat and
fish cooking.
• 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
convection oven cooking directions. See
examples in your cookbook and inthe
charts in this section.
• 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 heatproof cookware or metal utensils
can be used in convection cooking.
• As In conventional cooking, the distance
of the food from the heat source affects
cooking results. Follow cookbook recipes
and refer to the charts in this Use and
Care Guide, It isalso helpful to find a
similar recipe in the cookbook index and to
refer to recipe's suggested techniques.
• 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, ifyou do not open the
door, the oven willautomatically hold at
the preheated temperature for 30 minutes.
• You can set up to three convectioncycles.
(Example for two-crust pies: You can set
the oven to preheat for baking at 425°F
and to finish baking at 350°F.)
4O
Cooking with CONVECTION
It is best to preheat the oven when convec-
tion cooking. However, you can convection
cook without preheating by following just
Steps 5-9 on the next page.
NOTE: Use cooking utensils that will not
melt or burn in the hot oven. Do not use
light plastic containers, plastic wraps, or
paper products during any convection
combination cycle.

Use oven mitts to remove items
from microwave.
Do not touch areas near oven vent
openings during use.
Failure to follow these instructions

Convenience foods cooking chart
Convection cooking of convenience foods is
similar to cooking in a conventional oven.
Select items that fit conveniently on the
turntable, such as an 8V2-inch frozen pizza.
Convection preheat to the desired tempera-
ture, and use metal or ovenproof glass
cooking utensils. When cooking or baking
these convenience foods, follow package
directions for preparation and selecting the
correct container. Because of the great
variety of foods available, times given here
are approximate. It is advisable to always
check food about five minutes before the
minimum recommended time, and cook
longer only if needed. Use oven mitts to
insert or remove items from the oven.

How combination cooking works
Microwave
J
Convection
Helpful hints for combination
cooking:
* Meats may be roasted directly on the Bi-
Level Cooking Rack or in a shallow
roasting pan placed on the rack, on the
turntable. When using the Bi-Leve] Cook-
ing Rack, please check your cookbook for
information on proper use.
• Less tender cuts of beef can be masted
and tenderized using oven cookingbags.
• When baking, check for doneness after
cooking time is up. Ifnot completely done,
let stand in oven for a few minutesto
complete cooking.
NOTE: During combination baking, some
baking utensils may cause arcing when they
come 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 Bi-Level Cooking Rack, If arcing occurs
with other baking utensils, stop using them
for combination cooking.
Combination microwave/convection
Sometimes combination microwave-convec-
tion cooking is suggested to get the proper
cooking results. 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 convec-
tion heat and microwave energy alternate
automatically. Your oven has two pro-
programmed settings that make it easy to
cook with both convection heat and micro-
wave energy automatically.

Caring for Your Microwave-
Convection Oven
To make sure your microwave oven looks good and works well for a long time, you should
maintain it properly. For proper care, please follow these instructions carefully.
For interior surfaces: Wash often with
warm, sudsy water and a sponge or soft
cloth. Use only mitd, nonabrasive soaps
or a mild detergent. Be sure to keep the
areas clean where the door and oven
frame touch when closed. Wipe well
with clean water. Over time, stains can
occur on the stainless steel surface as the
result of food particles spattering during
cooking. This is normal.
For exterior surfaces and control panel:
Use a soft cloth with spray glass cleaner.
Apply spray glass cleaner to soft cloth; de
not spray directly on even.
For stubborn soil, boil a cup of water in the
oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften
the soil. To get rid of odors inside the oven,
boll a cup of water with lemon juice or
vinegar.
Ceramic glass

Microwave cooking tips
Amount of food
• The more food you prepare, the longer it
takes. A rule of thumb is that a double
amount of food requires almost double the
time. If one potato takes four minutes to
cook, you need about seven minutes to
cook two potatoes,
• If you want to cook two meals or
containers of food at the same time, you
can do so with the Bi-Level Cooking Rack,
For example, you can cook two frozen
dinners or reheat two plates of food by
placing one on the rack and one under
the rack.
Stirring, turning foods
• Stirring and turning foods distributes
heat quickly to the center of the dish and
avoids overcooking at the outer edges of
the food.
Covering food
Cover food to:
• Reduce sptattering
• Shorten cooking times
• Retain food moisture
All coverings that allow microwaves to pass
through are suitable.
Starting temperature of food
* The lower the temperature of the food
being put intothe microwave oven, the
longer ittakes to cook. Food at room
temperature willbe reheated more quickly
than food at refrigeratortemperature.
Composition of food
• Food with a lot of fat and sugar will be
heated faster than food containing a lot of
water. Fat and sugar will also reach a
higher temperature than water in the
cooking process,
• The more dense the food, the longer it
takes to heat. "Very dense" food like meat
takes longer to reheat than lighter, more
porousfood like sponge cakes,
Size and shape
• Smaller pieces of food willcook faster
than larger pieces and same-shaped
pieces of food cook more evenly than
irregularly shaped foods.
• With unevenly shaped foods, the thinner
parts will cook faster than the thicker
areas. Place the thinner parts of chicken
wings and legs in the center ofthe dish.
Releasing pressure in foods
• Several foods (for example: baked
potatoes, sausages, egg yolks, and some
fruits) are tightly covered by a skin or
membrane. This can cause the food to
burstfrom steam building up in them
during cooking. To relieve the pressure
and to prevent bursting, prick these foods
before cookingwith a fork, cocktail pick, or
toothpick.
Using standing time
• Always allow food to stand for a while
after cooking_ Standing time after defrost-
ing, cooking, or reheating always improves
the result since the temperature will then
be evenly distributed throughout the food.
• The length of the standing time depends
on thevolume and density ofthe food.
Sometimes it can be as shortas the time it
takes you to remove the food from the oven
and take itto the serving table. However,
withlarger, denser food, the standing time
may be as long as 10 minutes.
54
Arranging food
For best results, distribute food evenly on
the plate. You can do this in several ways:
• if you are cooking several items of the
same food, such as baked potatoes,
place them in a ring pattern for uniform
cooking,
,, When cooking foods of uneven shapes
or thickness, such as chicken breasts,
place the smaller orthinner area ofthe
food towards the center of the dish where
it will be heated last.
• Layer thin slices of meat on top of
each other.
• Choose a tail, narrow container rather
than a low and wide container. When
reheating gravy, sauce, or soup, do not
fill the container more than %.
• When you cook or reheat whole fish,
score the skin - this prevents cracking.
• Shield the tall and head of whole fish
with small pieces offoil to prevent over-
cookingand ensure the foil does not touch
the sides of the oven.
• Do not letfood or container touchthe top
or sides of the oven. This will prevent
possible arcing.
Using aluminum foil
Metal containers should not be used in a
microwave oven. There are, however,
some exceptions. If you have purchased
food which is prepackaged inan aluminum
foil container, then 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.
If you use aluminum containers without
package instructions, follow these
guidelines:
• Place container in a glass bowl and add
some water so that it covers the bottom of
the container, not more than 1/4"high. This
ensures even heating of the container
bottom.
• Always remove the lid to avoid damage to
the oven.
• Use only undamaged containers.
• Do not use containers taller than ¾".
• Container must be half filled.
• To avoid arcing, there must be a mini-
mum V4"between the aluminum container
and the walls of the oven and also
between two aluminum containers.
• Always place container on turntable.
• Reheating food in aluminum foil contain-
ers usually takes up to double the time
compared to reheating in plastic, glass,
china, or paper containers. The time when
food is ready willvary depending upon the
type ofcontainer you use.
• Let food stand for 2-3 minutesafter
heating so that heat isspread evenly
throughout container.
Cooking you should not do in
your microwave oven
• Do not do canning of foods in the oven,
Closed glass jars may explode, resulting in
damage to the oven or possible personal
injury,
• Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize
objects (baby bottles, etc.), tt is difficultto
maintain the high temperature required for
safe sterilization,
