nstallation
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. When the
combination oven is on a circuit with
other equipment, an increase in
cooking times may be required and
fusescan be blown.

householdcurrent,110-120V.
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.
•Allowenoughroomforairmovementaroundoven.
•Install oven on level countertop surface.
•Outlet should be located so that plug is accessible when oven is in place.
A—Allow at least 4”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.

Cooking Methods
Microwave Cooking
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. Microwaves cook moist food and foods of varying fat content more
quickly.
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.
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.
•Convection cooking uses the selected oven temperature to bake and
brown foods. The circulating air surrounds food in an envelope of evenly
heated air.
Microwave Convection Combination
Heat source Microwave energy. Heated air, circulated in
oven cavity. Microwave energy and circulated heated air.
Heat
Conduction Heat produced within food
by energy penetration Heat conducted from outside of food to inside.
Food heats both through
conduction from outside and
within from energy.
Primary
Benefit Fast, high efficiency
heating. Browns foods and seals in flavors.
Shortened heating time from
microwave energy, browning
and crisping from convection.

Cookware Suggestions
hat Should You Consider in Cookware?
Cooking method used determines the cookware that can be used. To simplify choices, use
cookware that is approved for all three cooking methods: microwave, convection and
combination.
Select Avoid
Heat resistant glass Non-heat resistant glass
Ceramics or china Metal trimmed ceramics or china
Pyrex Metal cookware
Heat resistant Teflon utensils, such as
spatulas. Metal cooking utensils.
Microwave cookware that is safe to
450•FPaper products, straw, wicker and wood.
. Handles that are secure. Cookware with loose or broken handles.
Can can?
Canning is not allowed in microwave
or combination ovens.
When heating liquids in the microwave
oven, especially for extended periods of
time, superheating can occur. This
condition may result in boil over or
possible eruption when the liquid is
disturbed or a jar is sealed.
Damage incurred by canning, or
attempting to can, using the oven is not
covered under warranty.
What a neat
rack!
A metal rack is provided with the oven
for use in convection oven mode. Metal
racks should not be used in the oven
during microwave or combination
mode. Metal in a microwave energy
environment will cause arcing, which
could result in damage to the oven.
Should use a
popcorn
popper?
Popcorn should only be
cooked in a specially designed
microwave popcorn popper or in the
commercially prepared microwave-safe
popcorn bag it was sold in. Do not use a
popper designed to focus or concentrate
energy or heat. Popcorn should also be
popped only while oven is in
microwave mode. If convection heat is
present, popcorn may scorch, burn or
catch fire.
Do not use metal utensils or pots in the oven.
Covering A cover will trap heat and steam, causing food to heat more quickly.
Always use a lid approved for both convection and microwave cooking.
Stirring Redistributes heat in foods. Always stir from the outside toward the
center of the dish.
Piercing Pierce the shell, skin or membrane of foods before heating to prevent
bursting.
Turning Large foods should be turned so that the top and bottom heat evenly.
Arrangement Do not stack food. Arrange in a single layer on a dish safe for
combination heating. .
Standing
Time
Foods often need to stand from 2 to 15 minutes after being removed
from the oven. This finishes cooking. Normally an internal temperature
will continue to rise approximately 5 to 10°F during standing time.
Spacing Arrange individual foods, such as potatoes, in a circle and at least
1 inch apart. This helps food heat more evenly.

Clean oven frequently to maximize oven life, performance, and efficiency. A dirty oven cooks inefficiently
because moisture, spills, and grease absorb convection and microwave energy.
Care and Cleaning
Oven Turntable

removable. They should be hand-
washed in warm (not hot) water and
a mild detergent. Dry thoroughly with
a soft cloth. DO NOT use cleaning
powders, abrasives, steel wool, or

Cooking
Meat Basics
While cooking has always been a talent, it is now becoming a science, also. Amana provides this information as a
guide to aid in preparation. For specific questions regarding meat preparation, handling, or storage contact
USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) Meat & Poultry Hotline at [phone].
Handling Hints
•When shopping, put meat in its
own separate plastic sack to
keep drips off other foods.
•Defrost frozen meats in
refrigerator, not at room
temperature.
•Keep meat cool and covered
until it is time to cook.
•Wash hands with warm soapy
water before and after handling
meat or raw egg.
•Thoroughly wash any surface or
utensil raw meat or egg touched.
•Do not put cooked meat on the
same plate that held raw meat.
Cooking Tips
•Marinate meat in the
refrigerator. Throw out excess
marinade that came into contact
with meat.
•Use an oven-proof meat
thermometer.
•Cook meat to internal
temperature recommended by
USDA.
•When reheating foods, heat to
an internal temperature of at
least 165 °F.
•While cooking meats, turn over
at least once.
Storage Safety
•Once carved, refrigerate unused
portion immediately.
•Keep hot foods hot and cold
foods cold when serving meals.
•Separate cooked foods into
small portions for fast cooling.
•Do not store cooked ground
meats or meals containing
ground meats for longer than
3 to 4 days in the refrigerator.
•Do not allow cooked or
uncooked meat juices to come
into contact with ready-to-eat
foods such as fruits or
vegetables.
Using a Meat Thermometer
When using a meat thermometer, remember to insert it at a slight angle, in
the thickest part of the meat, away from fat and bone. The meat should be
removed when 5 °F below the desired final temperature. While the meat sits
before carving, it will continue to cook internally, raising the last 5 °F by itself.
A meat thermometer can
•Take the guesswork out of cooking to a desired ‘doneness’.
•Help reduce the risk of foodborne illness.
Oven-safe Thermometer
•Inserted before the meat is placed in the oven, this thermometer stays
with the meat while it cooks.
•The internal temperature will rise slowly as the meat cooks.
•DO NOT use a metal thermometerin the oven inCOMBINATIONmodeor
MICROWAVEmode.
Instant-read Thermometer
•Not oven safe, these thermometers are placed in the meat when it is
removed from the oven.
•While times may vary, an accurate temperature is normally displayed
within one to two minutes.
•When using an instant-read, remember to clean the thermometer stem
with warm, soapy water between readings.
Tenderizing
Braising is only one way to tenderize
less tender cuts. Before cooking, you
may pound, cube, marinate, or use
commercially prepared meat
tenderizers.You may then use a dry
method to cook the meat.
•Marinades are acidic liquids such
as wine, citrus, or vinegar.
Marinades soften meat fibers but
only penetrate about one-fourth of
an inch into the interior of the
meat. Do not marinate meat for
longer than 24 hours.
•Pounding with a heavy meat mallet
breaks down the connective tissue
to tenderize meat.
•Cubing breaks down the structure
more than pounding. Cubing is
done at the meat counter.
•Commercial tenderizers are
primarily enzymes that work on the
outer fourth inch on a meat cut.
Make sure to follow the
manufacturer’s directions.

Roasting Guidelines
Tender cuts such as rib and loin cuts are best cooked by dry heat methods,
such as roasting. To roast:
1. Heatoventodesiredtemperature.
2. Place roastdirectly fromrefrigerator fat side upina shallow, non-metal pan.
3. Placeroastin combination oven.
4. Removeroastand check internal temperature witha meat thermometer.
DO NOT placeroast inside combination oven withthermometer.
5. Roastisdone when 5 °Fbelow desired degree of finished internal
temperature.
5. Transferroastto carving board andtent loosely with aluminum foil for
approximately 15 minutes.
All times and recommended temperatures are provided by the USDA, the Beef Industry Council, the National Pork Producer’s
Council, and the American Sheep Industry Council.

Preheating
In most cases, you should preheat the oven before baking. For delicate baking
(suchaspuff pastriesorsouffles), preheat approximately15–20 minutes
before placing food inside oven or wait 10 minutes after oven signal beeps
before placing food in oven. The extra time creates a more stable oven
temperature.
