MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS
MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS
Amount of Food
•
If you increase or decrease the amount of food
you prepare, the time it takes to cook that food will
also change. For example, if you double a recipe,
add a little more than half the original cooking time.
Check for doneness and, if necessary, add more
time in small increments.
Starting Temperature of Food
•
The lower the temperature of the food being
put into the microwave oven, the longer it takes
to cook. Food at room temperature reheats more
quickly than food at refrigerator temperature.
Composition of Food
•
Food with a lot of fat and sugar heats faster than
food containing a lot of water. Fat and sugar also
reach a higher temperature than water during the
cooking process.
•
The more dense the food, the longer it takes to
heat. Very dense food like meat takes longer to
heat than lighter, more porous food like sponge
cakes.
Size and Shape
•
Smaller pieces of food cook faster than larger
pieces. Also, same-shaped pieces cook more
evenly than different-shaped pieces.
•
With foods that have different thicknesses,
the thinner parts cook faster than the thicker parts
Place the thinner parts of chicken wings and legs in
the center of the dish.
Stirring and Turning Foods
•
Stirring and turning foods spreads heat quickly
to the center of the dish and avoids overcooking at
the outer edges of the food.
Covering Food
Cover food to:
•
reduce splattering
•
shorten cooking times
•
keep food moist
Releasing Pressure in Foods
•
Several foods (for example: baked potatoes,
sausages, egg yolks, and some fruits) are tightly
covered by a skin or membrane. Steam can build
up under the membrane during cooking, causing
the food to burst. To relieve the pressure and to
prevent bursting, pierce these foods before cooking
with a fork, cocktail pick, or toothpick.
Using Standing Time
•
Always allow food to stand either in or out of the
oven after cooking power stops. Standing time after
defrosting and cooking allows the temperature to
evenly spread throughout the food, improving the
cooking results. For inside oven standing time,
program a 0 power second stage of the cooking
cycle. See Cooking with More than One Cook
Cycle.
•
The length of the standing time depends on how
much food you are cooking and how dense it is.
Sometimes it can be as short as the time it takes
you to remove the food from the oven and take it
to the serving table. However, with larger, denser
food items, the standing time may be as long as 10
minutes.
Arranging Food
For best results, place food evenly on the plate. You
can do this in several ways:
•
If you are cooking several items of the same
food, such as baked potatoes, place them in a ring
pattern for uniform cooking.
•
When cooking foods of uneven shapes or
thickness, such as chicken breasts, place the
smaller or thinner area of the food towards the
center of the dish where it will be heated last.
•
Layer thin slices of meat on top of each other.
•
When you cook or reheat whole fish, score the
skin to prevent cracking.
•
Do not let food or a container touch the top or
sides of the oven. This will prevent possible arcing.
12
MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS
Using Aluminum Foil
Metal containers should not be used in a microwave
oven. However, if you have purchased food which
is prepackaged in an aluminum foil container, refer
to the instructions on the package. When using
aluminum foil containers, cooking times may be
longer because microwaves will only penetrate the
exposed top of the food and not the bottom or the
sides. If using aluminum containers without package
instructions, follow these guidelines:
•
Place the aluminum foil container in a glass bowl
and add water so that it covers the bottom of the
container, but not more than ¼ in. (.64 cm) deep.
This ensures even heating of the container bottom.
•
Always remove the container lid to avoid damage
to the oven.
•
Use only undamaged containers.
•
Do not use containers taller than ¾ in. (1.9 cm).
•
Container must be at least half filled.
•
To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum ¼
in.(.64 cm) between the aluminum container
and the walls of the oven and also between two
aluminum containers.
•
Always place the container on the turntable.
•
Shield parts of food that may cook quickly, such as
wing tips and leg ends of poultry, with small pieces
of aluminum foil.
•
Heating food in aluminum foil containers usually
takes up to double the time compared to reheating
in plastic, glass, china, or paper containers.
The cooking time will vary depending upon the type
of container you use.
•
Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after heating so
that heat is spread evenly throughout the container.
Do Not Can or Sterilize in Oven
•
Do not try to can food in the oven. Closed glass
jars may explode, resulting in damage to the oven.
•
Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize objects
(baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at
the high temperature needed for sterilization.
Removing the Rack
•
When popping commercially packaged
popcorn, remove the rack and drip pan from the
oven.
Do not place the bag of microwave popcorn on
the rack or under the rack. Leave the glass tray in
place at all times.
CAUTION
•
Popping microwave popcorn with rack and drip
pan in place can cause fire or damage to the
microwave oven.

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS
Cooking Comparison Guide
Cooking with your new oven offers a wide variety
of food preparation options: microwave cooking,
convection cooking, and combination cooking.
Microwave cooking uses very short, high-frequency
radio waves. The movement of the microwaves
through the food generates heat and cooks most
foods faster than regular methods, while retaining
their natural texture and moisture. Microwave cooking
heats food directly, not the cookware or the interior
of the oven. Reheating is easy and defrosting is
particularly convenient because less time is spent in
food preparation.
Convection cooking constantly circulates heated air
around the food, creating even browning and sealed-
in flavor by the constant motion of hot air over the
food surfaces.
Combination cooking combines microwave energy
with convection to cook with speed and accuracy,
while browning and crisping to perfection.
Timed cooking can be set with microwave cooking,
convection cooking, and combination cooking. Preset
the desired length of cooking time and the oven turns
off automatically.
Microwave Convection Combination
Cooking Method
Microwave energy
is distributed evenly
throughout the oven for
fast, thorough cooking of
food.
Hot air circulates around
food to produce browned
exteriors and sealed-in
juices.
Microwave energy and
convection heat combine
to shorten the cooking time
of regular ovens, while
browning and sealing in
juices.
Heat Source
Microwave energy. Circulating heated air. Microwave energy and

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS
Cookware Guide
Microwave Cooking
Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe for
use in the microwave oven.
Testing Cookware Before Using
1
Place the empty cookware in the microwave
oven.
2
Measure 1 cup of water in a glass measuring cup
and place it in the oven beside the cookware.
3
Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. If
the dish is warm, it should not be used for
microwave cooking.
Convection Cooking
•
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 breads
and pies because they absorb heat and produce a
crisper crust.
•
Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies,
or muffins because these pans 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 to
provide easy cleanup.
Combination Cooking
•
Glass or glass-ceramic baking containers are
recommended. Do not use items with metal trim as
they may cause arcing (sparking) with oven wall or
oven shelf, damaging the cookware, the shelf, or
the oven.
•
Heat-resistant plastic microwave cookware (safe to
450°F) may be used, but is not recommended for
foods that require crusting or all-around browning,
because plastic is a poor conductor of heat.

OPERATION
Sensor Operating
Instructions
Sensor Cook cooks favorite foods without selecting
cooking times and power levels.
The oven automatically determines required cooking
time for each food item. When the internal sensor
detects a certain amount of humidity coming from
the food, it tells the oven how much longer to heat.
The display shows the remaining heating time. For
best results when sensor cooking, follow these
recommendations.
1
Food cooked with the sensor system should be
at normal storage temperature.
2
The glass tray and the outside of the container
should be dry to assure best cooking results.
3
Foods should always be covered loosely with
microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a
lid.
4
Do not open the door or touch STOP/CLEAR
during the sensing time. When sensing time is
over, the oven beeps and the remaining cooking
time will appear in the display window.
At this time you can open the door to stir, turn, or
rearrange the food.
Sensor Cooking Guide
Appropriate containers and coverings help assure
good sensor cooking results.
1
Always use microwavable containers and cover
them with lids or vented plastic wrap.
2
Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can
prevent steam from escaping and cause food to
overcook.
3
Match the amount to the size of the container.
Fill containers at least half full for best results.
4
Be sure the outside of the cooking container 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.

Tips for Convection Cooking
This section provides cooking instructions and
procedures for each convection function.
Convection cooking circulates hot air through the
oven cavity with a fan. The constantly moving air
surrounds the food to heat the outer portion quickly,
creating even browning and sealed-in flavor through
the constant motion of hot air over the food surfaces.
To use convection cooking, turn the dial to select the
Convection or Combination modes. DO NOT USE
THE OVEN WITHOUT THE TURNTABLE IN PLACE.
1
Always use the metal rack on the turntable
when convection cooking.
2
Do not cover the turntable or metal rack with
aluminum foil. It interferes with the flow of a
3
Use convection cooking for items like
soufflés, breads, cookies, angel food cakes,
pizza, and for some meat and fish.
4
The oven comes equipped with a metal tray
which can be used for cooking in convection
mode or combination mode.
5
No special techniques are necessary to
adapt favorite oven recipes to convection
cooking; but reduce the oven temperature by
25°F from the recommended temperature when
cooking packaged foods in convection mode.
6
When baking cakes, cookies, breads, rolls,
or other baked foods, most recipes call for
preheating. Preheat the empty oven just as
with a regular oven. You can start heavier
dense foods such as meats, casseroles, and
poultry without preheating.
7
All heatproof cookware or metal utensils can
be used in convection cooking.
8
As in conventional cooking, the distance of
the food from the heat source affects cooking
results. Refer to the charts in this owner's
manual.
9
Use metal utensils only for convection
cooking. Never use for microwave or
combination cooking since arcing and damage
to the oven may occur.
10
After preheating, if the door remains closed,
the oven automatically holds at the preheated
temperature for 30 minutes.
CAUTION
•
The oven cavity, door, turntable, roller rest,
metal tray, metal rack, and cooking utensils
become very hot.
USE THICK OVEN GLOVES when removing the
food, cooking utensils, metal rack, metal tray, and
turntable from the oven after convection cooking.
•
Do not use lightweight plastic containers, plastic
wraps, or paper products during any convection
cycle.
24
OPERATION
Convection
During convection cooking, a heating element is used
to raise the temperature of the air inside the oven.
Convection cooking temperature ranges from 100°F
to 450°F.
It is best to preheat the oven when convection
cooking.
NOTE
Reduce oven temperature by 25°F from the
temperature recommended on packaged
foods. The baking time may vary according to
the food condition or individual preference.
Example: To set for convection cooking at 325°F
for 45 minutes with preheating.
1
Touch MANUAL COOK.
2
Turn the dial to select CONVECTION. Touch
START or press the dial to enter.
3
Turn the dial to set the temperature (325°F).
Touch START or press the dial to enter.

7
Touch START or press the dial to enter.
NOTE
•
When the oven reaches the set preheat
temperature, a melody will sound and the
display scrolls the message PREHEAT END.
The oven automatically holds that temperature
for 30 minutes.
•
The oven temperature drops very quickly when
the door is opened; however, this should not
prevent food from being fully cooked during
normal cooking time.
•
During convection cooking, the vent fan in the
vent hood automatically turns on at the 1-speed
(lowest speed) setting to protect the oven.
Example: To set for convection cooking at 375°F
for 30 minutes without preheating.

OPERATION
Tips for Combination
Cooking
This section provides instructions for each
combination cooking function. Combination
microwave-convection cooking shortens the cooking
time for foods that normally need a long time to cook.
It also leaves meat juicy on the inside and crispy on
the outside. In combination cooking, the convection
heat and microwave energy alternate automatically.
The oven has three preprogrammed settings that
make it easy to use combination cooking.
Helpful Hints for Combination
Cooking
1
Meats can be roasted directly on the metal rack
or in a shallow roasting pan placed on the rack.
When using the metal rack, check the cooking
guide for information on proper use.
2
Less tender cuts of beef can be roasted and
tenderized using oven cooking bags.
3
When baking, check for doneness after cooking
time is up. If not completely done, let stand in
oven for a few minutes to complete cooking.
CAUTION
•
All cookware used for combination cooking
must be BOTH microwave-safe and oven-safe.
•
During combination baking, some baking
cookware may cause arcing when it comes in
contact with the oven walls or metal accessory
racks. Arcing is a discharge of electricity that
occurs when microwaves come in contact with
metal.
−
If arcing occurs, immediately stop the cooking
cycle and place a heat resistant dish between
the pan and the metal rack.
−
Use the metal tray supplied with the oven. It
has rubber feet that help prevent arcing.
−
If arcing occurs with other baking cookware,
do not use them for combination cooking.

Operating Tips
•
For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat, and
poultry from its original closed paper or plastic
package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will hold
steam and juice close to the foods, which can
cause the outer surface of the foods to cook.
•
For best results, shape the ground meat into
the form of a doughnut before freezing. When
defrosting, scrape off thawed meat when the beep
sounds and continue defrosting.
•
Place foods in a shallow container or on a
microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.

Defrosting Tips
•
When using Auto Defrost, the weight to be entered
is the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds
(the weight of the food minus the container).
•
Before starting, remove the metal twist-ties which
often come with frozen food bags, and replace
them with strings or elastic bands.
•
Open containers such as cartons before they are
placed in the oven.
•
Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging.
•
If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place the
food in a suitable container.
•
Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as
sausage.
•
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 the foil
does not touch the sides, top, or bottom of the
oven. The foil can damage the oven lining.
•
For better results, let food stand after defrosting.
(For more information on standing time, see the
Microwave Cooking Tips section.)
•
Turn over food during defrosting or standing time
Break apart and remove food as required.

COOKING GUIDE
COOKING GUIDE
Convection Baking Guidelines
1
Always use the metal rack when convection
baking.
Place food directly on rack or place in metal tray
and then place tray on rack.
2
Aluminum pans conduct heat quickly. For most
convection baking, light, shiny finishes give best
results because they prevent overbrowning in
the time it takes to cook the center areas. Pans
with dull (satin-finish) bottoms are recommended
for cake pans and pie pans for best bottom
browning.
3
Dark or non-shiny finishes, glass, and
pyroceramic absorb heat which may result in dry,
crisp crusts.
4
Preheating the oven is recommended when
baking foods by convection.
5
To prevent uneven heating and save energy,
open the oven door to check food as seldom as
possible.

COOKING GUIDE
Heating/Reheating Guide
To heat or reheat successfully in a microwave oven, follow these guidelines: Measure the amount of food in
order to determine the time needed to reheat. Arrange the food in a circular pattern for best results. Room
temperature food will heat faster than refrigerated food. Canned foods should be taken out of the can and placed
in a microwave-safe container. The food will heat more evenly if covered with a microwave-safe lid or vented
plastic wrap. Remove the cover carefully to prevent steam burns. Use the following chart as a guide for reheating
cooked food.

Caring for the Microwave
Oven
To make sure the microwave oven looks good and
works well for a long time, maintain it properly. For
proper care, follow these instructions carefully.
For interior surfaces: Wash often with warm, sudsy
water and a sponge or soft cloth. Use only mild,
nonabrasive soaps or a mild detergent. Keep the
areas clean where the door and oven frame touch
when closed.
Wipe well with a clean cloth. Over time, stains can
occur on the surfaces as the result of food particles
spattering during cooking. This is normal.
For stubborn soil, boil a cup of water in the oven for 2
to 3 minutes. Steam will soften the soil. To get rid of
odors inside the oven, boil a cup of water with some
lemon juice or vinegar in it.
For exterior surfaces and control panel: Use a soft
cloth sprayed with glass cleaner.
Apply the glass cleaner to the soft cloth; do not spray
directly on the oven.
NOTE
•
Abrasive cleansers, steel wool pads, gritty
wash cloths, some paper towels, etc., can
damage the control panel and the interior and
exterior oven surfaces.
To clean the glass tray and rotating ring, wash in
mild, sudsy water.
For heavily soiled areas use a mild cleanser and
scouring sponge.
The glass tray and rotating ring are dishwasher safe.

Microwave Utensil Guide
Use Do Not Use
OVENPROOF GLASS
(treated for high intensity heat):
utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake
plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles
and bowls without metallic trim.
CHINA:
bowls, cups, serving plates, and platters
without metallic trim.
PLASTIC:
Plastic wrap (as a cover)- lay the plastic
wrap loosely over the dish and press it to
the sides.
Vent plastic wrap by turning back one edge
slightly to allow excess steam to escape.
The dish should be deep enough so that
the plastic wrap will not touch the food. As
the food heats it may melt the plastic wrap
wherever the wrap touches the food.
Use plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer
containers and plastic bags only for
short cooking time. Use these with care
because the plastic may soften from
the heat of the food.
PAPER:
Paper towels, waxed paper, paper
napkins, and paper plates with no metallic
trim or design. Look for the manufacturer's
label for use in the microwave oven.
Note:
Do not use recycled paper products in the
microwave oven. They sometimes contain
impurities that cause arcing and sparking.
NEVER use paper products in the
convection oven.
METAL CONTAINERS::
Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces
uneven cooking. Also avoid metal skewers, thermometers, or
foil trays. Metal containers can cause arcing, which can damage
the microwave oven.
METAL DECORATION:
Metal-trimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes,
etc. The metal trim interferes with normal cooking and may
damage the oven.
ALUMINUM FOIL:
Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder
cooking and may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of
foil to shield poultry legs and wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at
least 1 inch from the side walls and door of the oven.
WOOD:
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack
when you use them in the microwave oven. Baskets react in the
same way.
TIGHTLY COVERED UTENSILS:
Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered
containers. Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food
items before cooking. Tightly closed pouches could explode.
BROWN PAPER:
Avoid using brown paper bags.
They absorb too much heat and could burn.
FLAWED OR CHIPPED UTENSILS:
Any container that is cracked, flawed, or chipped may break in
the oven.
METAL TWIST TIES:
Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags.
They become hot and could cause a fire.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a rack in my microwave oven to reheat
or cook on two levels at once?
Only use the rack that is supplied with your
microwave oven. Use of any other rack can result
in poor cooking performance and/or arcing and may
damage your oven.
Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my
microwave oven?
Usable metal includes aluminum foil for shielding (use
small, flat pieces), and shallow foil trays (if tray is ¾
inch deep and filled with food to absorb microwave
energy). Never allow metal to touch walls or door.
Sometimes the door of my microwave oven
appears wavy. Is this normal?
This appearance is normal and does not affect the
operation of your oven.
The glass tray does not move.
The glass tray is not correctly in place. It should be
correct-side up and sitting firmly on the center hub.
The support is not operating correctly. Remove the
glass tray and restart the oven. Cooking without the
glass tray can give you poor results.
Why does the dish become hot when I microwave
food in it? I thought that this should not happen.
As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to
the dish. Use hot pads to remove food after cooking.
What does standing time mean?
Standing time means that food should be taken out
of the oven and covered for additional time after
cooking. This process allows the cooking to finish,
saves energy, and frees the oven for other purposes.
Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven?
How do I get the best results?
Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following
manufacturer’s guidelines or use the preprogrammed
Popcorn key.
Do not use regular paper bags. Use the listening test
by stopping the oven as soon as the popping slows
to a pop every one or two seconds. Do not try to
repop unpopped kernels. You can also use special
microwave poppers. When using a popper, be sure to
follow manufacturer’s directions. Do not pop popcorn
in glass utensils.
Why does steam come out of the air exhaust
vent?
Steam is normally produced during cooking. The
microwave oven has been designed to vent steam
out of the top vent.
