~Do not let power cord hang
over edge of table or counter.
@Do not operate this appliance
if it has adamaged power cord or
plug, if it is not working properly,
or if it has been damaged or
dropped.
~See door surface cleaning
instructions on page 30.
●This appliance should be ser- -
viced only by qualfled seMce per-
sonnel. Contact nearest authorized
service facility for examimtion,
repair or adjustment.
●As with any appliance, close
supervision is necessary when used
by-children.
●TO reduce the risk of fire in t
oven cavity
-Do not overcook food. Care-
fully attend appliance if paper,
plastic, or other combustible
materials are placed inside the
oven to facilitate cooking.
-Remove wire twist-ties from
paper or plastic bags before
placing bag in oven.
-Do not use your microwave
oven to dry newspapers.
—Paper towels and napkins, wax
paper. Recycled paper products
can contain metal flecks which
may cause arcing or ignite. Paper
products containing nylon or
nylon filaments should be avoided,
as they may also ignite.
-Do not pop popcorn in your
microwave oven unless in aspecial
microwave popcorn accessory or
unless you use popcorn labeled for
use in microwave ovens.
-Do not operate the oven in
microwave or combination modes
while empty to avoid damage to
the oven and the danger of fwe. If

(continued)
*When using the convection or
combination cooking functions,
both the exterior and interior of
oven will become hot. Always use
hot pads to remove containers of
food or accessories such as oven
racks, ceramic oven tray or probe.
cSome products such as whole
eggs and sealed containers-for
example, closed glass jars-may
explode and should not be heated
in this oven.
●Avoid heating baby food in
glass jars, even without their lids;
especially meat and egg mixtures.
oDonl defrost frozen beverages
in narrow necked bottles; espe-
cially carbomted ones. Even if the
container is opened, pressure can
build up. This can cause the con-
tainer to burst, resulting in injury.
●Use metal only as directed in
Cookbook. Metal strips as used
on meat roasts are helpful when
used as shown in Cookbook.
TV dinners maybe cooked in
metal trays but when using shelf
they must be replaced in their
box. However, when using metal
in microwave oven, keep metal
(except for shelf accessory) at least
l-inch away fkom sides of oven.
●Cooking utensils may become
hot because of heat transferred
from the heated food. This is
especially true if plastic wrap has
been covering the top and handles
of the utensil. Potholders maybe
needed to handle the utensil.
●Sometimes, the oven floor can
become too hot to touch. Be
careful touching the floor during
and after cooking.
●Do not use regular cooking or
oven thermometers when cooking
by microwave or comb-tion.
The metal and mercury in these
thermometers could cause “arcing”
and possible damage to oven.
.
aRemove the temperature probe
from the oven when not using it
to cook with. If you leave the
probe inside the oven without
inserting it in food or liquid, and
turn on microwave energy, it can
create electrical arcing in the oven,
and damage oven walls.
oPlastic Utensils-Plastic uten-
sils designed for microwave
cooking are very useful, but
should be used carefully. Even
microwave plastic may not be as
tolerant of overcooking conditions
as are glass or ceramic materials
and may soften or char if sub-
jected to short periods of over-
cooking. In longer exposures to
overcooking, the food and utensils
could ignite. For these reasons:
1) Use microwave plastics only
“and use them” in strict com-
pliance with the utensil manufac-
turer’s recommendations. 2) Do
not subject empty utensils to
microwaving. 3) Do not permit ,
children to use plastic utensils
without complete supervision.
oWhen cooking pork follow our
directions exactly and always .
cook the meat to at least 17(P.
This assures that, in the remote
possibility that trichina may be
present in the meat, it will be
killed and meat will be safe to eat.
cBoiling eggs (in and out of
shell) is not recommended for
microwave cooking. Pressure can
build up inside egg yolk and may
cause it to burst, resulting in
injury.

T__
~Foods with unbroken outer
‘skin” such as potatoes, hot dogs
or sausages, tomatoes, apples,
chicken livers and other giblets,
and eggs (see previous caution)
should be pierced to allow steam
to escape during cooking.
Q“Boilable” cooking pouches
and tightly closed plastic bags
should be slit, pierced or vented as
directed in Cookbook. If they are
not, plastic could burst during or
immediately after cooking, pos-
sibly resulting in injury. Also,
plastic storage containers should
beat least partially uncovered
because they form atight seal.
When cooking with containers
tightly covered with plastic wrap,
remove covering carefully and
direct steam away from hands
and face.
GUse of the shelf accessory. (See
your Cookbook for proper use.)
-Remove the shelf from oven
when not in use.
-Do not store or cook with shelf
on floor of oven. Product damage
may result.
—Use potholders when handling
the shelf and utensils. They may
be hot.
-Do not use microwave brown-
ing dish on shelf. The shelf could
overheat. Use of shelf with Auto-
matic Cooking feature is not
recommended.

What Your Oven Can Do
Cooking with your new oven offers
a wide variety of food preparation
options. Microwave cooking uses
very short, high frequency radio
waves. The movement of the micro-
waves through the food generates
heat and cooks most foods faster
than conventional methods, while
retaining their natural texture and
moisture. Microwave cooking heats
food directly, not the cooking
utensil 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 cir-
culates heated air around the food,
creating even browning and sealed-
in flavor by the constant motion of
hot air over the food surfaces.
Your new oven also offers the
option of combination cooking,
using microwave energy along with
convection cooking. You cook with
speed and accuracy, while browning
and crisping to perfection.
You can use microwave cooking,
convection cooking or combination
cooking to TIME COOK. Simply
preset the length of cooking time
desired and your oven turns off
automatically. Or you can Temper-
ature Cook by these methods, using
the temperature probe to determine
the doneness by the internal tem-
perature of the food. This method
takes the guesswork out of cooking,
shutting the oven off automatically
when the food reaches the desired
temperature.
The Automatic Cooking Control
(AUTO COOK) feature does your
microwave cooking for you. It’s
easy and convenient—just follow
the step-by-step instructions in this
manual. Asensor detects steam
from the food and automatically
adjusts cooking time and power
level for best results.
Comparison Chart
AUTO ROAST is acombination
cooking function that uses the tem-
perature probe. You simply select
from 8 Auto Roast Codes, and the
oven automatically adjusts power
level, oven temperature and inter-
nal food temperature to cook the
food the way you want it.
ADelay Start/Timer lets you pro-
gram the oven to start cooking at a
desired time, even if you’re not at
home. It also serves as aconvenient
kitchen timer.

Cookware Tips
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
crisper crusts.
Shiny aluminum pans are better for
cakes, cookies or muffins because
these pans reflect heat and help
produce alight tender crust.
GLASS OR GLASS-CERAMIC HEAT-RESISTANT PLASTIC
casserole or baking dishes are best microwave cookware (safe to
suited for egg and cheese recipes 450”F.) may be used, but it is not

mended. Be sure not to use items
with metal trim as it may cause
arcing (sparking) with oven wall or
oven rack, damaging the utensil,
the rack or the oven.
1Some recipes may call for cooking on
this oven rack, but generally micro-
waved foods should be cooked directly
on the ceramic tray. See Cookbook for
specific instructions.
21t is suggested that ceramic tray be
removed during convection cooking,
since it absorbs heat and reduces
energy efficiency. If boil-over occurs,
there will be fewer items to clean up.

‘1: Select recipes with precooked
ingredients that do not require
adding ingredients at different
stages during cooking or recipes
that require extra attention, stirring
or rotating. “
2: Use microwave-safe containers
that are appropriate in size to the
food amount. Use 3qt. containers
or smaller.
3: For saucy casseroles, cover con-
tainer with lid or plastic wrap. (No
vents.) For cheese or crumb-topped
casseroles, remove cover after oven
signals and add topping, then con-
tinue cooking uncovered.
4: Allow precooked ingredients or
hot sauces to cool slightly before

How to I’Wxowave Dy 1Ime
Time Cooking is afamiliar method
of cooking food for apredeter-
mined length of time. You will find
that cooking with microwave
energy takes agreat deal less time
than conventional cooking
methods. And your microwave
oven, unlike many other ovens,
turns itself off automatically after
the preset time has elapsed.
You can even program your oven to
Time Cook in two stages! Cook at
one power level for adesired length
of time; then the oven automati-
cally changes to adifferent power
level and continues cooking until
the food is done. Check the Cook-
book for foods requiring two power
levels.
Setting the Oven Controls
Step 1: Touch TIME COOK. The
time of day disappears from the
display and “Enter Cook Time”
flashes.
51ep 2: Enter the cooking time in
minutes and seconds. For example,
touch 1, 2and Ofor 1minute, 20
seconds. Display shows the cooking
time. When setting 11Ahours touch
9,0,0, and O. Display shows 90:00
for 90 minutes. The oven is auto-
matically set to cook at High
Power (10), unless another power
level is selected. If needed, touch
POWER LEVEL—’’Enter Power”
flashes. Touch the number pad for
the desired power level.
=7/ “/’ammBnm
Step 3: Touch START. The display
shows “Cook Time” and the remain-
ing cooking time counting down.
When time is up, the display shows
“End”, the oven signals and shuts
off. If during cooking, you wish to
see what Power Level is being used,
touch POWER LEVEL Pad and
the number appears momentarily.
Two-Stage Microwave
Time Cooking
Step 1: Touch TIME COOK and
then the desired number pads for
first stage cooking time, as de-
scribed in Steps 1and 2above.
Step 2: Touch POWER LEVEL.
Cooking time disappears from the
display and “Enter Power” flashes.
Touch the number pad for first
stage power level or oven auto-
matically cooks at HIGH (10).
Step 3: For the second cooking
stage, touch TIME COOK and the
numbers for second phase cooking
time. If adifferent power level is
required, repeat Step 2.
Step 4: Now touch START. First
stage cooking time appears on the
display counting down. When the
first stage time has elapsed, the
oven automatically changes to the
second stage of cooking and power
level. When cooking is finished, the
display shows “End”, the oven sig-
nals and turns off.
Questions and Answers
Q. While cooking, Iwished to
change the cooking time and I
touched CLEAR/OFF. Ithen tried
to set the oven to microwave again
and nothing happened. Why?
A. Touching CLEAR/OFF once
only stops the oven just like open-
ing the door. You must touch the
CLEAR/ OFF Pad twice to clear
the oven program and set anew
one.
Q. Itouched the number pads to
enter cooking time but nothing
happened. Why?
A. The TIME COOK pad must be
touched before setting the number
pads or the oven will not accept the
number entries.
Q. After Itouched TIME COOK
the display flashed “Prob”. Why?
A. “Prob” will flash on the display
if the temperature probe has been
left in the oven. Remove the probe
and touch TIME COOK again.
Q. Iset my oven to TIME COOK
for the period in the recipe, but the
food wasn’t done at the end of that
time. What happened?
A. Since house electrical power
may vary, many Time Cook recipes
give you atime range to prevent
overcooking. Set the oven for the
minimum time, test the food for
doneness, and cook alittle longer
if necessary.
\

Defrosting is one of the most useful
microwave functions of your oven,
thawing foods quickly, but gently.
With no lengthy defrosting
required, meal planning is easier
than ever! You can prepare single
servings or whole meals ahead of
time and freeze, then thaw and heat
them in just minutes.
Your new oven can even be pro-
grammed to Defrost, then Time
Cook for complete freezer-to-table
meal preparation—automatically!
Refer to page 8of this book or to
the Cookbook for utensils and food
preparation tips and suggestions.
Step 1: Touch DEFROST. The
time of day disappears from the
display and “Enter Def Time”
flashes.
Step 2: Touch the number pads to
enter defrosting time. For example,
touch 8, 0, 0for 8minutes. The
display shows 8:00. Power Level is
automatically set in your oven.
Step 3: Touch START. The display
shows “Def Time” and counts
down the time remaining. When
defrosting is completed, the display
shows “End”, and the oven signals

Question:. and Answers
Q. M’hy don’t the defrosting time:,
in the Cookbook seem right for
my food?
A. Cookbook times are average,
and defrosting time required can
vary according to the temperature
in your freezer. Set your oven for
the time given in the Cookbook. If
your food is not completely thawed
at the end of that time, reset the
oven and adjust the time for addi-
tional defrosting.
Q. Can 1open the door during the
Defrost cycle?
A. Yes. You may open the door at
any time during microwaving. To
resume defrosting, just close the
door and touch START again. You
may also touch CLEAR/ OFF Pad
once which only stops oven to check
on food. If you touch CLEAR/
OFF twice or open the door and
touch CLEAR/ OFF it cancels out
program. (See page 6for further
explanation.)
Q. When Idefrosted hamburger
patties, the edges were already
cooked. Why is this?
A. The density and size of the food
makes adifference when defrosting.
Try using the minimum recom-
mended defrost time first. Most
meat patties must be rotated during
total defrosting time.
