3. After pressing Start, the selected power level can be recalled. Hold Power Level for 2 seconds, then the display window will indicate the power level and keep for 2 seconds.

DO NOT OVERCOOK: This oven requires less time to cook than older units. Overcooking will cause food to dry out and may cause a fire. A microwave oven’s cooking power tells you the amount of microwave power available for cooking.

Multistage Cooking: For more than one stage of cooking, repeat steps 1 and 2 for each stage of cooking before pressing Start. The maximum number of stages for cooking is three. When operating, two beeps will sound between each stage. Five beeps will sound at the end of the entire sequence.

Casseroles: Add 45 to 60 ml (3 to 4 tablespoons) of liquid, cover with lid or vented plastic wrap. Stir when time appears in the display window.

Canned foods: Empty contents into casserole dish or serving bowl, cover dish with lid or vented plastic wrap. After reheating, let stand for a few minutes.

Plate of food: Arrange food on plate; top with butter, gravy, etc. Cover with lid or vented plastic wrap. After reheating, let stand for a few minutes.

5. For frozen foods.

Sensor Cook

Press Sensor Cook (Reheat) until the number corresponding to the desired food appears in the display (see chart on the next page).

Press Start. Cooking is complete when five beeps sound.

NOTES:

1. If the user desires, More/ Less adjustment can be done. Press Timer (More) to add 20% more time than suggested. Press Clock (Less) to subtract 20% cooking time. Press Timer (More) or Clock (Less) before pressing Start.

2. After having used the Sensor Cook feature a few times, you may decide you would prefer your food cooked to a different doneness – that is why you would utilize the Timer (More) or Clock (Less) pad.

3. When steam is detected by the Genius Sensor and two beeps sound, the remaining cooking time will appear in the display.

4. Automatic features are provided for your convenience. If results are not suitable to your individual preference, or if serving size is other than what is listed on page 19, please refer to manual cooking on page 12.

For the best results with the GENIUS SENSOR, follow these recommendations:

BEFORE Reheating/Cooking:

1. The room temperature surrounding the oven should be below 95 °F (35 °C).

2. Food weight should exceed 4 oz. (110 g).

3. Be sure the glass tray, the outside of the cooking containers and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Residual beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.

4. Cover food with lid, or with vented plastic wrap. Never use tightly sealed plastic containers—they can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.

DURING Reheating/Cooking:

DO NOT open the oven door until two beeps sound and cooking time appears in the display. Doing so will cause inaccurate cooking since the steam from food is no longer contained within the oven cavity.

Once the cooking time begins to count down, the oven door may be opened to stir, turn or rearrange foods.

AFTER Reheating/Cooking:

All foods should have a standing time.

Care and Cleaning of Your Microwave Oven

Please see below and the following page for particular cleaning instructions for each section of the oven.

BEFORE CLEANING: Unplug oven at wall outlet. If outlet is inaccessible, leave oven door open while cleaning.

AFTER CLEANING: Be sure to place the Roller Ring and the Glass Tray in the proper position and press Stop/Reset Pad to clear the Display.

1. Outside oven surfaces: Clean with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into ventilation openings.

2. Label: Do not remove. Wipe with a damp cloth.

3. Inside the Oven: Wipe with a damp cloth after using. Mild detergent may be used if needed. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.

4. Oven Door: Wipe with a soft dry cloth when steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door. During cooking, especially under high humidity conditions, steam is given off from the food. (Some steam will condense on cooler surfaces, such as the oven door. This is normal.) Inside surface is covered with a heat and vapor barrier film. Do not remove.

5. Oven Cavity Floor: Clean the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent, water or window cleaner, and dry.

6. Wave Guide Cover: Do not remove Wave Guide Cover. It is important to keep cover clean in the same manner as the inside of the oven.

7. Control Panel: The Control Panel is covered with a removable protective film to prevent scratches during shipping. Small bubbles may appear under this film, so if this is the case, remove by applying masking or clear tape to an exposed corner and pull gently. If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean it with a soft dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.

8. Glass Tray: Remove and wash in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher.

9. Roller Ring: Roller Ring may be washed in mild soapy water or dishwasher. These areas should be kept clean to avoid excessive noise.

Before Requesting Service

See below before calling for service, as most problems can easily be remedied by following these simple solutions:

Problem	Solution
The oven causes TV interference.	Some radio, TV, Wi-Fi, cordless telephone, baby monitor, blue tooth or other wireless equipment interference might occur when you cook with the microwave oven. This interference is similar to the interference caused by small appliances such as mixers, vacuums, blow dryers, etc. It does not indicate a problem with your oven.
Steam accumulates on oven door and warm air comes from the oven vents.	During cooking, steam and warm air are given off from the food. Most of the steam and warm air are removed from the oven by the air which circulates in the oven cavity. However, some steam will condense on cooler surfaces such as the oven door. This is normal. After use, the oven should be wiped dry (see page 24).
Oven will not turn on.	The oven is not plugged in securely or needs to be reset; remove plug from outlet, wait ten seconds and re-insert. Main circuit breaker or main fuse is tripped; reset main circuit breaker or replace main fuse. There is a problem with the outlet; plug another appliance into the outlet to check if it is working.
Oven will not start cooking.	The door is not completely closed; close the oven door securely. Start was not pressed after programming; press Start. Another program is already entered into the oven; press Stop/Reset to cancel the previous program and enter new program. The program is not correct; program again according to the Owner’s Manual. Stop/Reset has been pressed accidentally; program oven again.
The Glass Tray wobbles.	The Glass Tray is not positioned properly on the Roller Ring or there is food under the Roller Ring; take out Glass Tray and Roller Ring. Wipe with a damp cloth and reset Roller Ring and Glass Tray properly.
When the oven is operating, there is noise coming from the Glass Tray.	The Roller Ring and oven bottom are dirty; clean these parts according to Care and Cleaning of Your Microwave Oven (see page 24).
The word “” appears in the display.	The CHILD SAFETY LOCK was activated by pressing Start three times; Deactivate CHILD SAFETY LOCK by pressing Stop/Reset three times.
The oven stops cooking and “H00“, “H97” or “H98” appears in the display.	The oven’s power supply has failed; please contact an authorized Service Center (see next page).
