OPERATION
SENSOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ADDING OR SUBTRACTING COOK
TIME(SENSOR COOK, POPCORN and
SENSOR REHEAT)
Sensor cook allows you to cook most of your favorite
foods without selecting cooking times and power levels.
The display will indicate SENSOR during the sensing
period. The oven automatically determines required
cooking time for each food item. When the initial sensor
detects a certain amount of vapor coming from the food,
it will show the remaining heating time. For best results
by sensor, following these recommendations.
1. Food cooked with the sensor system should be at
normal storage temperature.
2. Foods should always be covered loosely with
microwavable plastic warp, waxed paper, or a lid.
3. Do not open the door or touch STOP/CLEAR key
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.
If the preset cooking time is too long or too short you can
increase or decrease cooking time by 10% after choosing
one of the following functions.
SENSOR COOKING GUIDE
Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good
sensor cooking results.
1. Always use microwavable containers.
2. Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can
prevent steam from escaping and cause food to
overcook.
3. Match the amount of food and the size of containers.
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 turing into steam
can mislead the sensor.

OPERATION
Your microwave oven is preset with three defrost
sequences(MEAT, POULTRY and FISH). The Auto
Defrost method is the best way to defrost frozen foods.
Prepare the food for defrosting:
● Place the food in a flat, shallow baking dish or use a
microwave roasting in the dish to catch drippings.
● Pierce meats with a casing, such as hot dogs and
sausage, to allow steam to escape.
● Cover fatty or thin areas of meat with a small amount of
foil before defrosting to prevent them from cooking.
During the defrosting cycle, remember:
● Check the food. If items open cook at the edges when
defrosting, reduce the weight you set.
● Be sure to turn, stir or rotate the food as directed.
After defrosting, remember:
● Pierce dense roasts with a skewer to check whether
defrosting is complete.
● Remove the giblets from poultry and rinse ice crystals
out of cavity.
Count down the time of the first stage. Five long beeps
sound at the end of the first stage.
Open the door to separate, rearrange, cover or turn
oven the food.(Follow recipe directions.)
At the end of the sequence, two short beeps and one
long beep will sound and END displays.
AUTO DEFROST You are probably used to food weights being in pounds
and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for example 4
ounces equals 1/4 pound).
However, in order to enter food weight in AUTO
DEFROST, you must specify pounds and tenths of a
pound. If the weight on the food package is in fractions
of a pound, you can use the following chart to convert
the weight to decimals.
● 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).
● Use AUTO DEFROST only for raw food. AUTO
DEFROST gives best results when food to be thawed
is a minimum of 0˚F(taken directly from a true freezer).
If food has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer that
does not maintain a temperature of 5˚F or below,
always program a lower food weight(for a shorter
defrosting time) to prevent cooking the food.
● If the food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20
minutes, enter a lower food weight.
● The shape of the package alters the defrosting time.
Shallow rectangular packets defrost more quickly than
a deep block.
● Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated
pieces defrost more easily.
● You can use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield
foods like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails, but the
foil must not touch the side of the oven.
Foil causes arcing, which can damage the oven lining.
● Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they
start to become warm.
● For better results, a preset standing time is included
in the defrosting time.

GENERAL GUIDELINES
The benefit of this AUTO DEFROST feature is automatic setting and control of defrosting. But, just as in
conventional defrosting, you must check the food during the defrosting time. Here are some important
tips to remember about defrosting.
For best results when defrosting, remember :
●Do not defrost less than 1/4 lb. of ground beef.
●Freeze ground beef in a doughnut shape.
●Press down the center of ground beef patties before freezing.
●Meats, fish or poultry up to 6 lbs. defrost best.
●To reduce moisture loss, defrost meats just before cooking.
●To defrost convenience foods, follow package directions.
To prepare the item for defrosting, remember :
Remove the packaging.
NOTE : If the package is microwavable, pierce the package several times.
●Note the weight of the item on the package.
●When you calculate the weight of the item, round it to the nearest lower decimal.(See the weight
conversion chart.)
●Remove metal twist ties from the packaging.
●For best results, remove meat, poultry, and fish from the original wrapper. The wrapper can hold steam
and juice close to the food and cause the outer surface to cook.
●If removing the wrapper is difficult, defrost the wrapped food for about 1/4 of the defrosting time
(displayed at the beginning of the defrost cycle). Then remove the food from the oven and remove the
wrapping. Return the food to the oven and touch START.

CONVECTION COOKING
INTRODUCTION
Convection ovens are not new. They have been a favorite of professional bakers for many years. Both
conventional and convection ovens cook food with heat generated by gas or electricity. In a
conventional oven, air remains stationary; the heat rises to the top of the oven and is not evenly
distributed throughout the oven interior. In a convection oven, a fan circulates the warm air. The
continuous flow of warm air around food in a convection oven causes it to be cooked more evenly and
somewhat faster than it can be cooked by motionless air in a conventional oven. Convection cooking,
with its circulating hot, dry air, is a superb cooking method for baked goods, roasts, poultry and other
foods that require a crisp, browned surface.
Your oven uses convection cooking whenever you use the Convection Command Pads.
●Do not cover baking rack with aluminum foil. It interferes with the flow of air that cooks the food.
●Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils for many convection-only items.
Choose pans that do not have extended handles.
●Use convection cooking for items like souffles, breads, cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and for
some meat and fish cooking.
●You do not need to use any special techniques to adapt your favorite oven recipes to convection
cooking; however, you may need to lower some temperatures or reduce some cooking times from the
convection oven cooking directions.
●When baking cakes, cookies, breads, rolls or other baked foods, most recipes call for preheating.
Preheat the empty oven just as you do a regular oven. You can start heavier dense foods such as
meats, casseroles, and poultry without preheating.
●All heatproof cookware or metal utensils can be used in convection cooking.
●As in conventional cooking, the distance of the food from the heat source affects cooking results.
●Use metal utensils only for convection cooking. Never use for microwave or combination cooking
since arcing and damage to the oven may occur.
●After preheating, if you do not open the door, the oven will automatically hold at the preheated
temperature for 30 minutes.
●You can set up to three convection cycles.
(Example for two crust pies: you can set the oven to preheat for baking at 425°F and to finish baking at
350°F.)
