Suggestions for getting the best
results
To help you achieve the best possible results
from your microwave oven, read the following
suggestions below;
Storage temperature
Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take
longer to cook than the same foods would at
room temperature.
Size
Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones.
Pieces similar in size and shape will cook more
evenly when cooked together. For more even
results, reduce the power levels when cooking
large pieces of food.
Natural moisture
Very moist foods cook more evenly because
microwave energy heats water molecules very
efficiently.
Stirring
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables
from the outside to the center to distribute the
heat more evenly. This will allow the food to cook
faster. Constant stirring is not necessary.
Turn over items
Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts or
whole cauliflower halfway through the cook time.
This will help to expose all sides equally to
microwave energy.
Food placement
Place delicate areas of food items, such as
asparagus tips, toward the center of the
turntable tray.
Food arrangement
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken
pieces or salmon, with the thicker or meatier
parts toward the outside of the turntable tray.
Let the food stand
After removing the food from the microwave,
cover the food with foil or a casserole lid and let
it stand to finish cooking. This will help the food
finish in the center and avoids overcooking the
edges. The length of stand time depends on the
density and surface area of the food items.
Wrapping in paper towels or waxed paper
Sandwiches and many other food types
containing pre-baked bread should be wrapped
prior to placing in the microwave to help prevent
the food items from drying out while heating.
13
Using Ready Set
Microwave heating or cooking may be quickly set
at 100% power level for 1, 2 or 3 minutes. Use the
number keys 1, 2 or 3 to choose the desired
minutes of cook time (this option will only work
using the 1, 2 or 3 numeric pads):
Example: to quickly heat for 2 minutes at 100%
power:
Touch number pads 1, 2 or 3 for desired minutes
of cook time.
Exhaust High / Low / Off
The exhaust ventilation moves steam and other
cooking vapors from the cooking surface of the
range below the microwave oven.
To operate the exhaust vent, Touch the Exhaust
HI.LO.OFF pad once for the highest speed
setting. Touch the pad again to choose the Low
speed setting and a 3rd time to turn the exhaust
ventilation off.
Note: If the temperature gets too hot around the

Defrosting tips
• When using the defrost by weight feature, the
weight entered should always be pounds
(valid entries are from 0.1 to 6.0 pounds).
• Use both defrost weight and defrost time
features for raw food items only. Defrosting
gives best results when food to be thawed is
a minimum of 0°F (taken directly from a true
freezer). If the food has been stored in a
refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a
temperature of 5°F or below, always program
a lower food weight or lower cook time to
prevent cooking the food.
• If the frozen food is stored outside the freezer
for up to 20 minutes, enter a reduced cook
time or weight.
• The shape of the package will alter the
defrosting time. Shallow rectangular food
packets defrost more quickly than a deep
frozen block of food.
• Separate pieces as they begin to defrost.
Separated frozen pieces of food defrost
better.
• Shield warm areas of food with small pieces
of foil if they start to become warm.
• You may use small pieces of aluminum foil to
shield food items like chicken wings, leg tips
and fish tails, but do not allow the foil to
touch the oven cavity walls when defrosting.

CONVECTION Cooking
There are ten temperatures of convection; 100°F, 150°F,
250°F, 275°F, 300°F, 325°F, 350°F, 375°F, 400°F, 425°F.
Convection cooking uses a heating element to raise the
temperature of the air inside the oven. Any oven
temperature from 100°F to 425°F may be set. A fan gently
circulates this heated air throughout the oven. Air and
around the food, producing golden brown exteriors and rich,
moist interiors. Because the heated air is 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...
