temperature is high, material may ignite.
10. Oven temperature is at least 150°F in convection
mode. Verify plastic, paper or other combustible
materials are recommended by the manufacturer
to withstand the minimum oven temperature.
11. When cooking with paper, plastic, or other
combustible materials, follow manufacturer's
recommendations on product use.
12. Do not use paper towels which contain nylon
or other synthetic fibers. Heated synthetics could
melt and cause paper to ignite.
13. Do not heat sealed containers or plastic bags
in oven. Food or liquid could expand quickly and
cause container or bag to break. Pierce or open
container or bag before heating.
14. Racks, utensils, rack guides, and oven surfaces
may become hot during or after use. Use utensils
or protective clothing, like pan grips or dry oven
mitts, when necessary to avoid burns.
15. Do not unplug oven immediately after use.
Internal fan must cool oven to avoid damage of
electrical components.
16. To avoid pacemaker malfunction, consult
physician or pacemaker manufacture about effects
of microwave energy on pacemaker.
1. Briskly stir or pour liquids before heating with
microwave energy to prevent spontaneous
boiling or eruption. Do not overheat. If air is not
mixed into a liquid, liquid can erupt in oven or
after removal from oven.
2. Do not deep fat fry in oven. Fat could overheat

Installation
WARNING
!
To avoid risk of electrical shock
or death, this oven must be
grounded and plug must not be
altered.
Grounding
Instructions
Oven MUST be
grounded.
Grounding reduces risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire
for the electric current if an electrical
short occurs. This oven is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire
with a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or
servicer if grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if
doubt exists as to whether the oven
is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord.
If the product power cord is too
short, have a qualified electrician
install a three-slot receptacle. This
oven should be plugged into a
separate 60 hertz circuit with the
electrical rating as shown in
specifications table. Models ACE208
require a 208 voltage supply and
model ACE230 requires a 230/240
voltage supply. When the
combination oven is on a circuit with
other equipment, an increase in
cooking times may be required and
fuses can be blown.
Unpacking Oven
• Inspect oven for damage such as dents in door or inside oven cavity.
• Report any dents or breakage to source of purchase immediately.
Do not attempt to use oven if damaged.
• Remove all materials from oven interior.
• If oven has been stored in extremely cold area, wait a few hours before
connecting power.
Radio Interference
Microwave operation may cause interference to radio, television, or a similar
oven. Reduce or eliminate interference by doing the following:
• Clean door and sealing surfaces of oven according to instructions in
Care and Cleaning section.
• Place radio, television, etc. as far as possible from oven.
• Use a properly installed antenna on radio, television, etc. to obtain
stronger signal reception.
Oven Placement
• Do not install oven next to or above source of heat, such as pizza oven
or deep fat fryer. This could cause microwave oven to operate
improperly and could shorten life of electrical parts.
• Do not block or obstruct oven filter. Allow access for cleaning.
• Install oven on level countertop surface.
• Place warning label in a conspicuous place close to microwave oven.
• Outlet should be located so that plug is accessible when oven is in
place.
A—Allow at least 1 1/4" (3.18 cm) of clearance around top and sides of oven. Proper air
flow around oven cools electrical components. With restricted air flow, oven may
not operate properly and life of electrical parts is reduced.
B—Install combination oven so oven bottom is at least 3 feet (91.5 cm) above floor.

Convection Cooking
Convection cooking utilizes both a
convection element and fan to evenly
distribute heated air throughout the
oven cavity. By circulating air, no hot
or cold spots occur, creating a
consistent temperature envelope
around the food. These consistent
temperatures cook food evenly and
reduces cooking time. Oven will
always operate in convection mode.
All the pad does is
beep.
Ovens are not shipped
preprogrammed. Any preset cooking
conditions must be set by the customer.
If a pad is pressed that has not been
programmed, a rapid triple beep will
sound and no cooking condition will
initiate.

CAUTION
!
To avoid risk of burns, handle utensils, racks, and door with care. Allow oven, utensils, and racks
to cool before cleaning. Oven, utensils, and racks, become hot during operation.
Combination Cooking (microwave and convection)
Combination Cooking
The combination mode uses both
the speed of microwave energy and
browning of convection cooking to
yield fast, high quality food.
• Microwave cooking uses high
frequency energy waves to heat
the food. When cooking,
microwave energy causes food
molecules to move rapidly. This
rapid movement between the
food molecules creates heat,
which cooks the food. POWER
displays when oven is
generating microwave energy
for the current cycle.
• Convection cooking uses the
selected oven temperature to
bake and brown foods. The
circulating air surrounds food in
an envelope of evenly heated air.
• Oven will maintain a minimum
convection temperature of
150°F (66°C) to ensure drier air
and more even cooking.
To operate the oven for combination cooking, you can use preprogrammed
pads or manual time entry. The following instructions are for
combination cooking only. For convection only cooking, see that section.

guides with a detergent solution
made with warm water. Scrub with a
soft nylon pad to loosen and remove
any baked on materials. DO NOT

such as many of the 'instant' oven
cleaners. This will damage the finish
of the oven, the racks, and rack
guides.
