Pizza tips
Check pizza before minimum time, pizza may cook
faster compared to a traditional oven.
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.
Setting Pizza mode for fresh or frozen pizza

Sensor cooking
You can select two sensor cooking modes. Sensor
cooking allows you to cook many of your favorite foods
without selecting cooking times and power levels. The
microwave oven automatically determines the required
cooking time for each food item.
For best results for cooking by sensor, follow these
recommendations:
Food cooked with the sensor system should start from
normal storage temperature.
Turntable tray, ceramic tray and outside of container
should be dry.
Foods should always be covered loosely with
microwavable plastic wrap, wax paper or lid.
Do not open the door or touch Clear/Off key during
sensing time. When sensing time is over, the oven
beeps once and the remaining cooking time will
appear in the display. At this time you can open the
door to stir, turn or rearrange the food.

Cooking eggs in your microwave
Never cook eggs in the shell and never warm hard-
cooked eggs in the shell; they can explode.
Always pierce yolk on whole eggs to keep them from
bursting.
Cook eggs just until set; they will become tough if
overcooked.
Cooking scrambled eggs is safe.
Cooking vegetables in your microwave
Vegetables should be washed just before cooking.
Rarely is extra water needed. If dense vegetables such
as potatoes or carrots are being cooked, add about
¼ cup of water.
Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans,
etc.) will cook faster than larger vegetables.
Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or
corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the
turntable before cooking. They will cook more evenly if
turned over halfway through cooking.
Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli
with the stem ends pointing towards the edge of the
dish and the tips toward the center.
When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish
with a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap.
Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, sweet
potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their
skin pricked in several locations before cooking to
prevent them from bursting.
For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole
vegetables halfway through the cook time.
Most of the time, the denser the food, the longer the
required standing time. For example, a baked potato
should stand for 5 minutes before serving, while a dish
of peas may be served immediately.
EN-24
Cooking seafood in your microwave
Be sure to place fish on a microwave-safe roasting rack
in a microwave-safe dish. Be sure to always cook fish
until it flakes easily with a fork. Use a tight cover to steam
fish; a lighter cover of wax paper or paper towel provides
less steaming. And be sure not to overcook fish; check it

Cleaning and Maintenance
WARNING
Be sure the entire appliance has cooled and grease
has solidified before attempting to clean any part of
the appliance.
Cleaning Guide
For best performance and for safety reasons, keep the
oven clean inside and outside. Take special care to
keep the inner door panel and oven front frame free of
food and grease build–up.
Never use abrasive scouring powder or pads on the
microwave. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out
with a soft cloth and warm (not hot) mild detergent
solution. Then rinse and wipe completely dry.
Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel,
especially after cooking greasy foods like chicken or
bacon.
Clean your microwave oven weekly or more often, if
needed.
Never operate the microwave oven without food in the
oven cavity, unless pre-heating with Convection, Pizza,
Frozen Foods and Keep Warm mode; this can
damage the magnetron tube or ceramic tray. You may
wish to leave a cup of water standing inside the oven
when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is
accidentally turned on.

Oven cavity Keep inside (cavity) of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids can stick to the oven
walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently.
Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp, clean cloth and mild soap. DO NOT use harsh deter-
gents or abrasive cleaners.
To help loosen baked–on food particles or liquids, heat 2 cups of water (add the juice of
1 lemon if you desire to keep the oven fresh smelling
) in a 4 cup measuring glass at High
power for 5 minutes or until boiling. Let stand in oven cavity for 1 or 2 minutes.
For baked-on grease spatters, wash with hot, soapy water, rinse and dry.
