for microwaving.
If the dish remains cool and only the water in
the cup heats, then the dish is microwave-sate.
• Oversized fi)od or oversized metal cookware
should not be used in a microwave/convection
oven because they increase the risk of electric
shock and could ca/Ise a fife.
• Sometimes tile oven floe,; turntable and walls

ADAPTERPLUGS
Usage situations where appliance's power cord will be disconnected infrequently.
Because of potential sali-w ha/m'ds under certain conditions,
we stronglyrecommend against the use ofan adapter plug. Howevex;
if you still elect to use an adapter, where local codes pemfit, a
TEMPORARY CONNECTIONmay be inade to a propedy grounded
2-prong wall receptacle by the tlse of a UI, listed adapter which
is a\:filable at most local hardware stores.
Tile larger slot in tile adapter must be aligned with tile larger slot
in the wall receptacle to proxide proper polarit} in the com_ecfion
of the power cord.

You should have tile drcuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sm'e tile receptacle is properly
gro/mded.
When disc(mnecting tile power cord ti'om tile adaptor; always hold tile adapter with (me hand. If this
is not done, tile adapter gro/md temfinal is ve_' likely to break with repeated use. Should this hal)pen,
DONOTUSEtile appliance until a proper ground has again been established.
Usage situations where appliance's power cord will be disconnected frequently.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because fl'equent disconnection of the power cord places
tmdue strain on tile adapter and leads to eventual fifilm'e of tile adapter grotmd tem/inal. You should have
tile 2-prong wall receptacle replaced with a 3-prong (gro/mding) receptacle by a qualified electrician
belin'e using tile appliance.
EXTENSIONCORDS
A short power sui)plv, cord is provided to reduce tile risks resulting, ti'om becoming, entangled, in or tfili) _ing,
over a hmger cord.
Extension cords may be used if w)u are carefifl in using them.

entering the time. Power level 7 cuts the
total defl'osfing time in about haiti power
level 10cuts the total time to approximately
1/3. HoweveI; filed will need more
fl'equent attention than usual.
A dull thuml)ing noise may be heard
dtwJng defrosting. This is nomml when

DefrostingTips
•Foods fl'ozen in paper or plastic c:m be

should be slit, pierced or vented AFTER
filed has partially defrosted. Plastic storage
containers shoukl be l)artially tmcovered.
• Family-size, prepackaged fl'ozen climm_

toed is in a fifil containe_; transter it to a
microwave-sate dish.
• Foods that spoil easily should not be
alh)wed to sit out fi)r more than one hem"
after defl'osting. Room temperatm'e
promotes the gr(m_h of ham/tiff bacteria.
• For more e;'en defl'osfing of larger fi)ods,
such as roasts, use Auto Defrost. Be sm'e
large meats are completely defl'osted
befl)re cooking.
• When defl'osted, filed should be cool
but softened in all areas./t still slightly icy,
return to the microwave ve_y briefly, or
let it stand a tew minutes.
Auto Defrost
Use AutoDefrostfi>r meat, poultr)and fish.
Use Time Defrost fi)r most other frozen foods.
Auto Defrost atltomaficallv sets the

About the convection features, gecom
Convection cooking uses a heating element to raise the temperature of the air inside the
oven. Any oven temperature fl'om 250°F to 450°F may be set, in increments ofB°E A tim
gently circulates this heated air throughout the oven, over and around the tood, producing
golden brown exterio_ and rich, moist interio_.
Because the heated air is kept constantly moving, not pemfitting a layer ot cooler air
to develop aromld the tood, some toods cook fi_ster than in regular oven cooking.

Convection Cooking
Metal Pans are recmmnended for all types ot baked products, but especially where
browning or c_ usting is important.
Dark or dull finish metal pans are best t0r breads and pies because they absorb heat
and produce crisper c_ust.
Shiny almninmn pans are better fl)r 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 tot egg and cheese
recipes due to the cleanability of glass.
CombinationCooking
Glass or Glass-Ceramic baking containers are recommended. Be sure not to use
items with metal trim as it may cause arcing (sparking) with oven wall or oven shelf,
damaging the cookware, the shelf or the oven.
Heat-Resistmat Plastic microwave cookware (sati _ to 450°F) may be used, but it is not
recommended for toods requiring ClUsting or all-around browning, because the
plastic is a poor cond/ictor of heat.
