Combination Fast Cooking
Your oven also offers the option of Combination Fast Cook, using microwave energy along with convection cooking.
You cook with speed and accuracy, while browning and crisping to perfection. .
Cooking Method
Microwave energy and convection
heat combine to cook foods up
to 25% faster than regular ovens,
while browning and sealing in
juices.
Heat Source
Microwave energy and circulating
heated air.
Heat Conduction
Food heats from instant energy from penetration and
heat conducted from outside
of food.
Benefits
Shortened
cooking time from
microwave energy, plus
browning and crisping from
convection heat.
Options
USING THE OVEN: Options
Microwave Cooking
Your oven uses microwave energy to cook by a set time or weight, or automatically by sensor.
Sensor microwave works by detecting the increasing humidity released during cooking. The oven automatically
adjusts the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.
Cooking Method
Microwave energy is distributed evenly
throughout the oven for thorough, fast
cooking of food.
Heat Source
Microwave energy.
Heat Conduction
Heat produced within food by
instant energy penetration.
Benefits
Fast, high efficiency cooking.
Oven and surroundings do not get hot. Easy clean-up.
Always use the shelf with Fast
Bake. For best results, use one
shelf in the lower position.
or
Do not use the
shelves when
microwave cooking.
Convection Baking and Convection Roasting
During baking or roasting, a heating element is used to raise the temperature of the air inside the oven. Any oven
temperature from 225°F. to 425°F. may be programmed. A fan gently circulates this heated air throughout the oven,
over and around the food, producing golden brown exteriors and rich moist interiors. This circulation of heated air is
called convection.
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.
Cooking Method
Hot air circulates around food to
produce browned exteriors and
seal in juices.
Heat Source
Circulating heated air
(Convection).
Heat Conduction
Heat conducted from
outside of food to inside.
Benefits
Aids in browning and seals
in flavor. Cooks some foods
faster than regular ovens.
Always use the shelf when
baking. For best results, use
one shelf in the lower position.

Variable power levels add flexibility to microwave
cooking. The power levels on the microwave
oven can be compared to the surface units on
a range. Each power level gives you microwave
energy a certain percent of the time. Power
Level 7 is microwave energy 70% of the time.
Power Level 3 is energy 30% of the time. Most
cooking will be done on High (Power Level
10) which gives you 100% power. Power Level
10 will cook faster but food may need more
frequentstirring,rotatingorturningover.
A lower setting will cook more evenly and need
less stirring or rotating of the food. Some foods
may have better flavor, texture or appearance if
one of the lower settings is used. Use a lower
power level when cooking foods that have
a tendency to boil over, such as scalloped
potatoes.
Rest periods (when the microwave energy
cyclesoff)givetimeforthefoodto“equalize”
or transfer heat to the inside of the food. An
example of this is shown with Power Level 3 -
the defrost cycle. If microwave energy did not
cycle off, the outside of the food would cook
before the inside was defrosted.
Here are some examples of uses for various
power levels:
High 10: Fish, bacon, vegetables, heating
liquids.
Med-High 7: Gentle cooking of meat and
poultry; baking casseroles and reheating.
Medium 5: Slow cooking and tenderizing for
stews and less tender cuts of meat.
Low 2 or 3: Defrosting; simmering; delicate
sauces.
Warm 1: Keepingfoodwarm;softeningbutter.

Microwave Terms
USING THE OVEN: Microwave Terms / Sensor Microwave Features
Term Definition
Arcing Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:
■the metal shelf being installed incorrectly and touching the microwave walls.
■metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
■foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).
■metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes.
■recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.
■the turntable ring support being installed incorrectly.
Covering Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce cooking time. Venting plastic wrap or
covering with wax paper allows excess steam to escape.
Shielding In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to prevent over-browning. When
microwaving, you use small strips of foil to shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs on
poultry, which would cook before larger parts.
Standing Time When you cook with regular ovens, foods such as roasts or cakes are allowed to stand to finish
cooking or to set. Standing time is especially important in microwave cooking. Note that a microwaved
cake is not placed on a cooling rack.
Venting After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner so excess
steam can escape.
Sensor Microwave Features
Humidity Sensor
What happens when using the Sensor Features:
The Sensor Features detect the increasing humidity
released during cooking. The oven automatically adjusts
the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.
Do not use the Sensor Features twice in succession
on the same food portion—it may result in severely
overcooked or burnt food. If food is undercooked after the
countdown, use Cook Time for additional cooking time.
NOTE: Sensor features will not operate when the oven
is hot. If one of the sensor cooking buttons is pressed
when the temperature inside the oven is greater than
200°F,“OVENTOOHOTFORSENSORCOOKING-
USING ALTERNATE METHOD” will be displayed. The
oven will automatically change to cook by time (follow the
directions in the display) or once the oven is cool enough,
the sensor features will function normally.
■Thepropercontainersand
covers are essential for best
sensor cooking.
■Alwaysusemicrowave-
safe containers and cover
them with lids or vented
plastic wrap. Never use tight
sealing plastic containers -
they can prevent steam from
escaping and cause food to
overcook.
■Besuretheoutsideofthe
cooking containers 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.
Dry off dishes so they don’t
mislead the sensor.

USING THE OVEN: Baking and Roasting Features
Baking or roasting uses a heating element to raise
the temperature of the air inside the oven. Any oven
temperature from 225°F to 425°F may be set. A fan
gently circulates this heated air throughout the oven, over
and around the food, producing golden brown exteriors
and rich, moist interiors. This circulation of heated air is
called convection.
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…
Use one shelf in the lower position and leave at least a
1-inch gap between the cooking dish and the sides of the
oven. For two-level cooking only, use both shelves.
Use the circular rack if possible. If the food is too long to
turn (casseroles, lasagnas, etc.) or too tall to fit (roasts,
etc.), we recommend using the rectangular rack in the
lower position.

Cookware Tips
Convection Bake or Roast
Metal Pans are recommended for all types of baked
products, but especially where browning is important.
Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and
pies because they absorb heat and produce crisper
crust.
Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies or
muffins because they 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 Fast Bake
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. This can damage the cookware, the shelf or the
oven.

CARE AND CLEANING
Care and Cleaning
Helpful Hints
An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking
soda and water keeps the inside fresh.
Be certain the oven control is turned off before
cleaning any part of this oven.
How to Clean the Inside
Walls, Floor, Inside Window, Metal and Plastic Parts
on the Door
Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel;
othersmayrequireadampcloth.Removegreasy
spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse with a damp
cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp utensils
on oven walls.
Never use a commercial oven cleaner on any part of
your microwave.
Removable Turntable and Turntable Support
To prevent breakage, do not
place the turntable into water
just after cooking. Wash it
carefully in warm, sudsy water
or in the dishwasher. The
turntable and support can be
broken if dropped. Remember, do not operate the oven
in the microwave mode without the turntable and support
seated and in place.
Shelves
Clean with mild soap and
water or in the dishwasher.
Do not clean in a
self-cleaning oven.
How to Clean the Outside
We recommend against using cleaners with ammonia
or alcohol, as they can damage the appearance of
the microwave oven. If you choose to use a common
household cleaner, first apply the cleaner directly to a
clean cloth, then wipe the soiled area.
Case
Clean the outside of the microwave with a sudsy cloth.
Rinse and then dry. Wipe the window clean with a
damp cloth.
Control Panel
Wipe with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use
cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water,
abrasives or sharp objects on the panel—they can
damage it. Some paper towels can also scratch the
control panel.
Door Panel
Before cleaning the front door panel, make sure you
know what type of panel you have. Refer to the 11
th
digit of the model number. “S” is stainless steel, “L” is
CleanSteel, "D" is for black slate or dark matte finish
and “B”, “W” or “C” are plastic colors.
Stainless Steel (on some models)
The stainless steel panel can be cleaned with Stainless
Steel Magic or a similar product using a clean, soft cloth.
Apply stainless cleaner carefully to avoid the surrounding
plastic parts. Do not use appliance wax, polish, bleach or
products containing chlorine on Stainless Steel finishes.
Plastic Color Panels
Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth, then dry
thoroughly.
Door Seal
It’s important to keep the area clean where the door
seals against the microwave. Use only mild, non-
abrasive detergents applied with a clean sponge or soft
cloth. Rinse well.
Bottom
Clean off the grease and dust on the bottom often. Use a
solution of warm water and detergent.

CARE AND CLEANING: Exhaust Feature
Reusable Vent Filters
The metal filters trap grease released by foods on the
cooktop. They also prevent flames from foods on the
cooktop from damaging the inside of the oven.
For this reason, the filters must always be in place when
the hood is used. The vent filters should be cleaned
once a month, or as needed.
Removing and Cleaning the Filters
To remove, slide them to the rear using the tabs. Pull
down and out.
To clean the vent filters, soak them and then swish
around in hot water and detergent. Don’t use ammonia
or ammonia products because they will darken the metal.
Light brushing can be used to remove embedded dirt.
Rinse, shake and let dry before replacing.
To replace, slide the filters into the frame slots on the
back of each opening. Press up and to the front to lock
into place.
Vent Fan
The vent fan has two metal reusable vent filters.
Models that recirculate air back into the room also use a
charcoal filter.

Charcoal Filter
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be

cafeappliances.com
If the model is not vented to the outside, the air will be

helps remove smoke and odors.
The charcoal filter should be replaced when it is
noticeably dirty or discolored (usually after 6 to 12
months, depending on usage). See Optional Kits page
30, for more information.
