section in this manual.
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
■Do not overcook food. Carefully attend
appliance if paper, plastic or other
combustible materials are placed inside
the oven to facilitate cooking.
■In defrost mode, remove wire twist-ties
from paper or plastic containers before
placing bags in the oven.
■Oven Cooking Bags—Do not use the wire
twist-tie to close the bag.
■Do not use paper towels.
■Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
■Do not overcook potatoes. They could
dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage
to your oven.
■Do not operate the oven while empty to
avoid damage to the oven and the danger
of fire.
■Do not use the oven for storage purposes.
Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils or food in the oven when not
in use.
■If materials inside the oven should ignite,
keep the oven door closed, turn the oven
off and shut off power at the fuse or circuit
breaker panel. If the door is opened, the
fire may spread.
■This oven is not approved or tested for
marine use.
■Some products such as whole eggs and
sealed containers—for example, closed
jars—will explode and should not be
heated in this oven. Such use of the oven
could result in injury.
■Do not boil eggs in this oven. Pressure will
build up inside the egg yolk and will cause
it to burst, possibly resulting in injury.
■Do not pop popcorn in your oven.
■Foods with unbroken outer “skin” such as
potatoes, sausages, tomatoes, apples, egg
yolks, chicken livers and other giblets
should be pierced to allow steam to escape
during cooking.
■Don’t defrost frozen beverages in narrow-
necked bottles (especially carbonated
beverages). Even if the container is
opened, pressure can build up. This can
cause the container to burst, possibly
resulting in injury.
■Hot foods and steam can cause burns.
Be careful when opening any containers
of hot food, cooking pouches and boxes.
To prevent possible injury, direct steam
away from hands and face.
■As with any appliance, close supervision is
necessary when used by children.

™
OVEN
If you see arcing, open the door and correct the problem.
ARCING
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the
oven. Arcing is caused by:
■Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
■Foil not molded to food (upturned edges
act like antennas).
■Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins or
gold-rimmed dishes in the oven.
■Recycled paper towels containing small
metal pieces being used in the oven.
Liquids such as water, coffee or tea are able
to be overheated beyond the boiling point
without appearing to be boiling. Visible
bubbling or boiling when the container is
removed from the microwave oven is not
always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY
HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN
THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL
IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

Using the Trivection™oven.
Microwave Assisted
In the Trivection oven, a microwave is
used to assist cooking.
The combination of microwave,
convection fan and heating elements is
unique for each food category.
NOTE: The microwave will cycle on and off while
cooking to best distribute energy to the food.
The microwave turns off and the cook time
stops counting down when the oven door
is opened.
NOTE: The convection fan may cycle on and off
and change direction while cooking to best
distribute hot air in the oven. The convection fan
shuts off when the oven door is opened.
Auto Recipe™Conversion
You can use your favorite recipes in the
Trivection oven.
When speedcooking, enter the
traditional cooking temperature and
the maximum recipe/package cook time.
When speedcooking, the Auto Recipe™
conversion feature automatically converts
traditional cook time into the appropriate
speedcooking time. The converted time
will display after you start the oven. This
time will be up to 5 times faster than
traditional baking based on food type.
Cookware for Speedcooking. . .
You can use cookware that is oven-safe.
Heat-resistant paper and plastic
containers and bakeware that are
recommended for use in traditional
baking can also be used for speed baking.
However, they should not be used at
temperatures higher than the
temperature recommended by the
bakeware manufacturer.
If you are cooking with several pans,
leave space between them. Arcing is the
microwave term for sparks in the oven.
To avoid arcing, be sure there is at least
1 inch of space between metal surfaces—
pans, wall of cavity, aluminum foil.
Do not completely surround food with
metal and/or foil while speedcooking—
you will not have a time savings (for
example, wrapping potato with foil, using
metal roasting pan with lid).
When using a metal pan, do not cover it
with a metal lid or foil (a glass lid or
parchment paper may be used).
However, foil may be used to shield food
to prevent overbrowning or overcooking
(i.e., placing small strips of foil on tips of
wings and legs of poultry). Also, foil
covers may be tented over food (i.e.,
large frozen casseroles) toward the end
of their cook time to prevent
overbrowning or overcooking.
DO NOT USE FOOD WRAPPERS MADE
FROM A COMBINATION OF METAL FOIL
AND PAPER IN THE OVEN in speedcook
modes. For example, some frozen or
deli breads are baked and sold in these
wrappers. Remove the food from
the wrapper and speed bake on a flat
metal pan.
When speedcooking with metal pans,
heavy aluminum pans are recommended
for best results.
When speed baking with stoneware or
cooking stones, refer to the manufacturer’s
owner’s manual for proper use and
maintenance. For best results, preheat
your flat cooking stones. If the
manufacturer does not recommend
preheating the cooking stones, do not
use them in Speedcooking modes. Do not
use hearth inserts while speedcooking.
Use pans with low sides whenever
possible. A shallow pan allows air
to circulate around the food more
efficiently.
Dark or matte finish bakeware will
produce darker browning on food.
When you are speed broiling, it is
important that you use the broiler pan
with grid for best results. The pan is
used to catch grease spills and the grid
is used to prevent grease spatters.

for medium sized potatoes. Add an
additional 15–30 minutes for large
potatoes or when baking more than
four potatoes.
In general, when cooking meats wrapped
in dough or refrigerated dough product,
use the Biscuit/Roll or BakedGoods
category.
For recipes using a large quantity
of cheese, milk and/or eggs, use the
BakedGoods category.
Larger amounts of food or multiple racks
of food may require additional time.
Check food doneness as prompted and
continue cooking as needed.
Items such as appetizers, cookies, biscuits
and rolls can be speed baked on multiple
racks. Cooking time may increase slightly
for some foods, but since two or three
racks of food are being cooked at the
same time, the overall result is substantial
time saved.
When cooking multiple items or pans,
leave space between them for maximum
air circulation.
Cakes and quick breads (banana,
zucchini or pumpkin bread) are not
recommended for multiple rack speed
baking. Place cakes side-by-side on one
rack if speed baking. When using more
than one rack to cook these foods, use
CONV MULTI mode. See Using the
convection modes section.
Meats/Poultry
Cooking times will vary depending on
the cut of meat. Check for doneness at
minimum time. Note: Meats will continue
to cook and internal temperatures will
rise after they are removed from the oven
(standing time).
Use the broiler pan and grid provided
with your oven for best results.
As in a conventional oven, aluminum foil
may be used to shield food—to prevent
overbrowning or overcooking (i.e., placing
small strips of foil on tips of wings and legs
of poultry). Also, foil covers may be tented
over food (i.e., large frozen casseroles)
toward the end of their cook time to
prevent overbrowning or overcooking.
Make sure that the foil is securely attached
to the food. However, large amounts of
foil or fully enclosing food in foil blocks
the microwave energy, which eliminates
time savings.
Do not use oven thermometers, meat
thermometers or wire twist-ties in the
oven while speedcooking.
Pop-up thermometers in your meat
may be inaccurate. Check the temperature
of the meat with a thermometer after
removing the meat from the oven.
For best results, speed bake turkeys
unstuffed.
Rack Positions for Speed Baking. . .
If cooking on one rack, place food so that it is approximately centered in the oven.
Rack Positions and Examples
CCookies, pizza, pie, muffins, cakes, biscuits, casseroles
BLoaves of bread, bundt cakes, meat loaf, small and medium roasts, whole chicken
AVery tall items: turkey, large roasts, angel food cakes
If cooking on two racks, use rack positions A and D to provide lots of space between
items for optimal results.
If cooking on three racks, use rack positions A, C and E.

Tips for Speed Broiling
Your oven with Trivection™technology
has the flexibility to broil like a traditional
oven or speed broil. Speed broiling of
meats is approximately twice as fast as
traditional broiling.
Speed broiling must be done with the
door closed.
The oven must be preheated when
speed broiling.
Turning meat and poultry is optional in
speed broil. However, use tongs if turning
meat to prevent piercing the meat and
losing juices.
Speed broil will generally produce good
results for medium to well done meats. If
rare meat is desired, use traditional broil.
Cooking times will vary depending
on the cut of meat. Check for doneness
at minimum time using a meat
thermometer. DO NOT leave a meat
thermometer in the meat or poultry while
cooking with Trivection technology since
this may damage the thermometer.
Use the broiler pan with grid provided
with your oven for best results.
Evenly slit fat around the outside edges
of steaks and chops to prevent curling
during broiling.
If desired, marinate meats before
broiling. Brush with sauces during the
last five minutes only.

Cookware/Tips for Defrosting
For best results, remove food from
packaging and place on broil pan and grid.
If food is left in packaging, slit, pierce or
vent to prevent heat buildup.
Place food in the oven according to the
Defrosting Guide.
You can use all cookware/containers that
are oven safe or microwave-safe. Arcing is
the microwave term for sparks in the
oven. Be sure there is at least 1 inch of
space between metal surfaces—pans, wall
of cavity, aluminum foil—to prevent
arcing. Dishes with metallic trim should not
be used as arcing may occur. Remove metal
twist ties from paper or plastic bags before
placing them in the oven.
Do not completely surround food with
metal and/or foil.
Plastic storage containers should be
uncovered before defrosting.
Foods that spoil easily should not be
allowed to sit out for more than one hour
after defrosting. Room temperature
promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.
Use caution when removing metal pans
and stoneware after defrosting. They may
become very warm, and you may need to
use a potholder.
For more even defrosting, turn food
over, separate and rearrange when
prompted. Be sure large meats are
completely defrosted before cooking.
See the Defrosting Guide for additional
comments.
When defrosted, food should be cool but
softened in all areas. If still slightly icy,
return to the oven very briefly, or let it
stand a few minutes.
