BEFORE INSTALLATION
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
• Improper use of the grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.
• 60Hz, 120V, 15A
• Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that
has a 3-blade grounded plug and 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug
on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or
greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
• A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or
extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a long cord or extension cord is used:
• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be
at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
• The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
• The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over unintentionally.
• Touching some of the internal components can cause serious personal injury or
death. Do not disassemble this appliance.
• Do not plug this unit into an outlet until it is properly installed and grounded
This product requires a three-prong grounded outlet. The installer must perform
a ground continuity check on the power outlet box before beginning the
installation to ensure that the outlet box is properly grounded. If not properly
grounded, or if the outlet box does not meet electrical requirements noted, a
qualified electrician should be employed to correct any deficiencies.
WARNING
BEFORE INSTALLATION
• For personal safety, remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning
installation to avoid severe or fatal shock injury. Figure 1
• For personal safety, the mounting surface must be capable of supporting the
cabinet load, in addition to the added weight of this 63–85 pound (28.5–38.5
kg) product, plus additional oven loads of up to 50 pounds (22.7 kg) or a total
weight of 113–135 pounds (51.3–61.2 kg).
• For personal safety, this product cannot be installed in cabinet arrangements
such as an island or a peninsula. It must be mounted to BOTH a top cabinet
AND a wall.
• IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS
APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED TO AVOID SEVERE OR FATAL
SHOCK.
• The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding)
plug which mates with a standard three-prong (grounding) wall receptacle to
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance. Figure 2
• You should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
• Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is very important
to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle,
installed by a qualified electrician.
• DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT, DEFORM OR REMOVE
ANY OF THE PRONGS FROM THE POWER CORD. DO NOT USE WITH AN
EXTENSION CORD.

to allow free movement of the damper
.
Maximum duct length:
For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of 3
1/4" x 10” rectangular or 5” diameter/6” diameter
round duct should not exceed 120 equivalent feet.
Elbows, transitions, wall and roof caps, etc.
present additional resistance to airflow and are
equivalent to a section of straight duct which is longer
than their actual physical size. When calculating the total
duct length, add the equivalent lengths of all transitions
and adapters plus the length of all straight duct sections.
The chart below shows you how to calculate total
equivalent ductwork length using the approximate feet of
equivalent length of some typical ducts.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR EXTERNAL EXHAUST DUCTING
NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the total duct
length of 3 1/4" x 10” rectangular or 5” diameter/ 6”
diameter round duct should not
exceed 120 equivalent feet.
Outside ventilation requires an EXTERNAL EXHAUST
DUCT. Read the following carefully.
NOTE: It is important that venting be installed using
the most direct route and with as few elbows as possible.
This ensures clear venting of exhaust and helps prevent
blockages. Also, make sure dampers swing freely and
nothing is blocking the ducts.
Exhaust connection:
The exhaust adapter has been designed to mate with
a standard 3 1/4" x 10” rectangular duct.
If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round
transition adapter must be used. A 5 ”/ 6” diameter
duct is acceptable to use.

Cookware Tips
Convection Cooking
OPERATION
CONVECTION COOKING
There are ten temperatures of convection:
1. 100F
2. 200F
3. 250F
4. 300F
5. 325F
6. 350F
7. 375F
8. 400F
9. 425F
10. 450F
Convection cooking uses a heating element to raise the temperature of the air
inside the oven. Any oven temperature from 100F to 450F may be set. A fan gently
circulates this heated air throughout the oven, over and around the food.
Because the heated air is kept constantly moving, not permitting a layer of cooler air
to develop around the food, some foods cook faster than in regular oven cooking.
For best results, always use the round wire rack when convecting cooking. Reduce
package/recipe temperature 25F for baked goods. The round wire rack is required
for good air circulation and even browning.
USING CONVECTION WITH PREHEATING
1. Press Convection Bake/Roast once (PREHEAT ENTER TEMP)
2. Press the number on the keypad on the desired temperature (see below number.
ex: 375F, press 7...)
3. Press START and the oven will PREHEAT
4. Temperature will show on the display, once it’s done preheating. Open the door
when it’s done.
5. Place the food in the oven and press the number keys to set the cooking time.
6. Press START

USING CONVECTION WITHOUT PREHEATING

COOKWARE TIPS
• Use the round wire rack during convection baking.
• Avoid opening the oven door during cooking - each time the door is opened, the
oven loses heat and this will cause uneven baking.
• 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 bread and pies because they absorb
heat and produce crisper crust.
• Shiny aluminum pans are best for cakes, cookies, or muffins.
• Glass/glass ceramic casserole or baking dishes are best suited for egg and
cheese recipes.
• For combination cooking, use glass or glass ceramic containers. 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.

Sensor Cooking
Sensor Cooking
OPERATION
SENSOR COOKING
Sensor cooking has an electronic controlled sensor that detects the vapor (moisture
and humidity) emitted from the food as it heats. The sensor adjusts the cooking times
and power level for various foods and quantities automatically.
BEFORE USING SENSOR COOKING
1. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the oven are dry.
Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.
2. The oven works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, popcorn
would be at room temperature.
3. More or less food than the quantity listed in the chart should be cooked
following the guidelines in any microwave cookbook.
4. During the first part of SENSOR COOKING, food name will appear in the
display. Do not open the oven door or press the STOP/CLEAR pad during
this part of the cycle as it will interrupt the process. When the sensor detects
the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of cooking time will appear. Door
maybe opened when remaining cooking time appears in the display. Stir or
season food as desired.
5. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when popping popcorn, the oven
will turn off and the correct time of day will display. It will also show an ERROR
CODE and the oven will turn off.
6. Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, continue
to cook manually
COVERING FOODS
Some cooks cook better when covered. Use
1. Casserole lid
2. Plastic wrap
3. Wax Paper
Be careful when removing any covering to allow steam to escape away from you.

OPERATION
OPERATION
AUTO DEFROST
The auto defrost feature provides 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.
USING AUTO DEFROST
1. Touch AUTO DEFROST
2. Press again to cycle through the menu:
• Meat
• Poultry
• Fish
3. Press START
4. Press the number keys to set the weight
5. Press START
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: (available is 0.1-6 lbs)
1. MEAT
2. POULTRY
3. FISH
MANUAL DEFROST
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using power
level for 30%. For either raw or previously cooked frozen food, the rule of thumb is
approximately 4 minutes per pound. For example, defrost 4 minutes for 1 pound of
frozen spaghetti sauce.
Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate the portions that are
defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the end of the estimated defrosting time, program
the oven in 1 minute increments on power level 30% until totally defrosted. When using
plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long enough to remove from the plastic
in order to place in a microwave-safe dish.
OPERATING TIPS
• For best results, remove fish, shell fish, meat and poultry from its original closed
paper or plastic package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and juice
close to the food, which can cause the outer surface of the food to cook. Open
containers, such as cartons, before placing in the oven.
• For best results, roll your ground meat into a ball before freezing. During the
DEFROST cycle, the microwave will signal when its time to turn the meat over. Scrape
off any excess frost from the meat and continue defrosting.
• Place food in a shallow container or on a microwave roasting rack to catch the drips.
• The weight to enter is the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds (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 with strings or elastic bands.
• Always slit or pierce plastic pouches/packaging.
• Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even defrosting.
• Always underestimate 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.
• 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 that the foil does not touch
the sides, top, bottom of the oven. The foil can damage the oven lining.
• For better results, let food stand after defrosting.
• Turn over food during defrosting or standing time. Break apart and remove food as
required.
• The rack allows several foods to be cooked or reheated at one time. However, for
the best cooking and reheating, use Turntable ON function and cook with SENSOR
COOKING or AUTO COOKING without the rack. When the rack is used, set time
and power level manually. Allow plenty of space around and between the dishes.
Pay close attention to the cooking and reheating progress. Reposition the foods and
reverse them from the rack to turntable and/or stir them at least once during any
cooking or reheating time. After cooking or reheating, stir if possible. Using a lower
power level will assist in better cooking and reheating uniformity.
