MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS

Amount of food

• If you increase or decrease the amount of food you

prepare, the time it takes to cook that food will also

change. For example, if you double a recipe, add a

little more than half the original cooking time. Check

for doneness and, if necessary, add more time in

small increments.

Starting temperature of food

• The lower the temperature of the food being put into

the microwave oven, the longer it takes to cook. Food

at room temperature will be re-heated more quickly

than food at refrigerator temperature.

Composition of food

• Food with a lot of fat and sugar will be heated

faster than food containing a lot of water. Fat and

sugar will also reach a higher temperature than water

in the cooking process.

• The more dense the food, the longer it takes to heat.

Very dense food like meat takes longer to heat than

lighter, more porous food like sponge cakes.

Size and shape

• Smaller pieces of food will cook faster than larger

pieces. Also, same-shaped pieces cook more evenly

than different-shaped pieces.

• With foods that have different thicknesses, the

thinner parts will cook faster than the thicker parts.

Place the thinner parts of chicken wings and legs in

the center of the dish.

Stirring, turning foods

• Stirring and turning foods spreads heat quickly to

the center of the dish and avoids overcooking at the

outer edges of the food.

Covering food

Cover food to:

• Reduce splattering

• Shorten cooking times

• Keep food moist

Releasing pressure in foods

• Several foods (for example: baked potatoes,

sausages, egg yolks, and some fruits) are tightly

covered by a skin or membrane. Steam can build up

under the membrane during cooking, causing the food

to burst. To relieve the pressure and to prevent

bursting, pierce these foods before cooking with a

fork, cocktail pick, or toothpick.

Using standing time

• Always allow food to stand either in or out of the

oven after cooking power stops. Standing time after

defrosting and cooking allows the temperature to

evenly spread throughout the food, improving the

cooking results. For inside oven standing time, you

can program a 0power second stage of the cooking

cycle. See cooking with more than on cook cycle

cooking.

• The length of the standing time depends on how

much food you are cooking and how dense it is.

Sometimes it can be as short as the time it takes you

to remove the food from the oven and take it to the

serving table. However, with larger, denser food item,

the standing time may be as long as 10 minutes.

Arranging food

For best results, place food evenly on the plate. You

can do this in several ways:

• If you are cooking several items of the same food,

such as baked potatoes, place them in a ring pattern

for uniform cooking.

• When cooking foods of uneven shapes or

thickness, such as chicken breasts, place the

smaller or thinner area of the food towards the center

of the dish where it will be heated last.

• Layer thin slices of meat on top of each other.

• When you cook or reheat whole fish, score the

skin – this prevents cracking.

• Do not let food or a container touch the top or sides

of the oven. This will prevent possible arcing.

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS

Using aluminum foil

Metal containers should not be used in a microwave

oven. There are, however, some exceptions. If you

have purchased food which is prepackaged in an

aluminum foil container, refer to the instructions on the

package. When using aluminum foil containers,

cooking times may be longer because microwaves will

only penetrate the exposed top of the food and not the

bottom or the sides. If you use aluminum containers

without package instructions, follow these guidelines:

• Place the aluminum foil container in a glass bowl and

add some Water so that it covers the bottom of the

container, but not more than 1/4 in. (.64 cm) deep.

This ensures even heating of the container bottom.

• Always remove the container lid to avoid damage to

the oven.

• Use only undamaged containers.

• Do not use containers taller than 3⁄4 in. (1.9 cm).

• Container must be at least half filled.

• To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum 1⁄4 in.

(64 mm) between the aluminum container and the

walls of the oven and also between two aluminum

containers.

• Always place the container on the glass turntable.

• Shield parts of food that may cook quickly, such as

wing tips and leg ends of poultry, with small pieces of

aluminum foil.

• Heating food in aluminum foil containers usually

takes up to double the time compared to reheating in

plastic, glass, china, or paper containers.

The time when food is ready will vary depending upon

the type of container you use.

• Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after heating so

that heat is spread evenly throughout the container.

Cooking you should not do in

your microwave oven

• Do not do canning of foods in the oven. Closed glass

jars may explode, resulting in damage to the oven.

• Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize objects

(baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at

the high temperature needed for sterilization.

Removing the rack

• When popping commercially packaged popcorn,

Remove the rack and drip pan from the oven; Do

not place the bag of microwave popcorn on the rack

or under the rack. Leave the glass tray in place at all

times.

CAUTION : Popping microwave popcorn with rack and

drip pan can cause fire or damage to your

microwave oven.

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS

Cooking Comparison Guide

Cooking with your new oven offers a wide variety of

food preparation options: microwave cooking,

convection cooking, and combination cooking.

Microwave cooking uses very short, high-frequency

radio waves. The movement of the microwaves through

the food generates heat and cooks most foods faster

than regular methods, while retaining their natural

texture and moisture. Microwave cooking heats food

directly, not the cookware 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 circulates heated air

around the food, creating even browning and sealed-in

flavor by the constant motion of hot air over the food

surfaces.

Combination cooking combines microwave energy

with convection to cook with speed and accuracy, while

browning and crisping to perfection.

You can use microwave cooking, convection cooking,

or combination cooking to cook by time. Simply preset

the length of cooking time desired and your oven turns

off automatically.

The following guide shows at a glance the difference

between microwave, convection, and combination

cooking.

Microwave energy is

distributed evenly

throughout the oven for fast,

thorough cooking of food.

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS

COOKWARE GUIDE

Microwave Cooking

Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe for

use in your microwave oven.

To test cookware before using, follow these steps:

1. Place the empty cookware in the microwave oven.

2. Measure 1 cup of water in a glass measuring cup

and place it in the oven beside the cookware.

3. Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. If the dish is

warm, it should not be used for microwave cooking.

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 a crisper

crust.

• Shiny aluminum pans are better for 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 for egg and cheese recipes due to the

cleanability of glass.

Combination Cooking

• 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-resistant plastic microwave cookware (safe to

450°F) may be used, but is not recommended for

foods that require crusting or all-around browning,

because plastic is a poor conductor of heat.

AUTO DEFROST

Five defrost sequences are preset in the oven.

The auto defrost feature provides you with the best

defrosting method for frozen foods. The Auto Defrost

Table will show you which defrost sequence is

recommended for the food you are defrosting.

For added convenience, the Auto Defrost

includes a built-in beep mechanism that reminds

you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange to get

best defrost results. Five different defrost settings are

provided.

and turn, separate, or rearrange the food.

Remove any portions that have thawed.

Return frozen portions to the oven and touch

START/ENTER to resume the defrost cycle.

Example: To defrost 1.2 lbs. of meat.

WEIGHT CONVERSION TABLE

You are probably used to food weights as 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 table to convert the

weight to decimals.

This table shows you food type selections and the

weights you can set for each type. For best results,

loosen or remove covering on food.

OPERATING TIPS

• For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat, and

poultry from its original closed paper or plastic

package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will hold

steam and juice close to the foods, which can cause

the outer surface of the foods to cook.

• For best results, shape your ground meat into the

form of a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting,

scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and

continue defrosting.

• Place foods in a shallow container or on a microwave

roasting rack to catch drippings.

• For more defrost help, please read Defrosting Tips

DEFROSTING TIPS

• 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).

• Before starting, make sure you have removed any

of the metal twist-ties which often come with frozen

food bags, and replace them with strings or elastic

bands.

• Open containers such as cartons before they are

placed in the oven.

• Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging.

• If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place the

food in a suitable container.

• Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as sausage.

• Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even

defrosting.

• Always underestimate defrosting time. If defrosted

food is still icy in the center, return it to the microwave

oven for more defrosting.

• The length of defrosting time varies according to

how solidly the food is frozen.

• The shape of the package affects how quickly food

will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more

quickly than a deep block.

• As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces.

Separated pieces defrost more easily.

• Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of

food such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails, or

areas that start to get warm. Make sure the foil does

not touch the sides, top, or bottom of the oven. The

foil can damage the oven lining.

• For better results, let food stand after defrosting.

(For more information on standing time, see the

Microwave Cooking Tips section.)

• Turn over food during defrosting or standing time.

Break apart and remove food as required.

OPERATION

SENSOR OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your favorite

foods without selecting cooking times and power levels.

The oven automatically determines required cooking

time for each food item. When the internal sensor

detects a certain amount of humidity coming from the

food, it will tell the oven how much longer to heat. The

display will show the remaining heating time. For best

results for cooking by Sensor, follow these

recommendations.

1. Food cooked with the sensor system should be at

normal storage temperature.

2. The Glass Tray and the outside of the container

should be dry to assure best cooking results.

3. Foods should always be covered loosely with

microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a lid.

4. Do not open the door or touch STOP/CLEAR 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.

SENSOR COOKING GUIDE

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good

Sensor cooking results.

1. Always use microwavable containers and cover them

with lids or vented plastic wrap.

2. Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can

prevent steam from escaping and cause food to

overcook.

3. Match the amount of the size of the container.

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 turning into

steam can mislead the sensor.

OPERATION

This section gives you cooking instructions and

procedures for operating each convection function.

Please read these instructions carefully.

Convection cooking circulates hot air through the oven

cavity with a fan. The constantly moving air surrounds

the food to heat the outer portion quickly, creating even

browning and sealed-in flavor by the constant motion of

hot air over the food surfaces. Your oven uses

convection cooking whenever you use the Convection

Command Pads. DO NOT USE THE OVEN WITHOUT

THE GLASS TURNTABLE IN PLACE.

1. You can cook food with the Metal Cooking Rack

on the glass turntable.

2. Do not cover Glass turntable or Convection rack

with aluminum foil. It interferes with the flow of air

that cooks the food.

3. Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils

for many convection-only items.

Choose pans that do not have extended handles.

4. Use convection cooking for items like soufflés,

breads, cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and for

some meat and fish cooking.

5. 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. See

examples in the charts in this section.

6. 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.

7. All heatproof cookware or metal utensils can be

used in convection cooking.

8. As in conventional cooking, the distance of the

food from the heat source affects cooking results.

Refer to the charts in this Use and Care Guide.

9. Use metal utensils only for convection cooking.

Never use for microwave or combination cooking

since arcing and damage to the oven may occur.

10. After preheating, if you do not open the door, the

oven will automatically hold at the preheated

temperature for 30 minutes.

PRECAUTIONS

•The oven cavity, door, galss turntable, rotating ring,

convection racks, and cooking utensils will become

very hot.

USE THICK OVEN GLOVES when removing the

food, cooking utensil, Convection rack, and Glass

turntable from the oven after convection cooking.

•Do not use lightweight plastic containers, plastic

wraps, or paper products during any convection cycle.

five (5) tones will sound and the display will scroll the

message PREHEAT END. The oven will automatically

hold that temperature for 30 minutes.

• The oven temperature drops very quickly when the

door is opened; however, this should not prevent food

from being fully cooked during normal cooking time.

• During convection cooking, the vent fan in the vent

hood will automatically turn on at the 1-speed (lowest

speed) setting to protect the oven.

CONVECTION

During convection cooking, a heating element is used

to raise the temperature of the air inside the oven.

Convection cooking temperature ranges from 100°F

to 450°F.

It is best to preheat the oven when convection cooking.

Note: Lower oven temperature by 25°F from

package recommended temperature, instructions.

The baking time may vary according to the food

condition or individual preference.

vent hood will automatically turn on at the 1-speed

(lowest setting) setting to protect the oven.

COMBINATION TIPS FOR COMBINATION

COOKING

This section gives you instructions to operate each

combination cooking function. Please read these

instructions carefully. Sometimes combination

microwave-convection cooking is suggested to get the

best cooking results since it shortens the cooking time

for foods that normally need a long time to cook. This

cooking process also leaves meats juicy on the inside

and crispy on the outside. In combination cooking, the

convection heat and microwave energy alternate

automatically. Your oven has three preprogrammed

settings that make it easy to use combination cooking.

PRECAUTIONS

1. All cookware used for combination cooking must be

BOTH microwave-safe and oven-safe.

2. During combination baking, some baking cookware

may cause arcing when it comes in contact with the

oven walls or metal accessory racks. Arcing is a

discharge of electricity that occurs when microwaves

come in contact with metal.

— If arcing occurs, immediately stop the cooking

cycle and place a heat resistant dish between the

pan and the convection rack.

— We recommend you use the metal tray applied

with your oven. It has rubber feet that help prevent

arcing.

— If arcing occurs with other baking cookware, do

not use them for combination cooking.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR

COMBINATION COOKING

1. Meats may be roasted directly on the convection

rack or in a shallow roasting pan placed on the rack.

When using the convection rack, please check your

cooking guide for information on proper use.

2. Less tender cuts of beef can be roasted and

tenderized using oven cooking bags.

3. When baking, check for doneness after cooking

time is up. If not completely done, let stand in oven

for a few minutes to complete cooking.

COOKING

CONVECTION BAKING GUIDELINES

1. Always use the convection rack when convection

baking. Place food directly on rack or place in metal

tray and then place tray on rack.

2. Aluminum pans conduct heat quickly. For most

convection baking, light, shiny finishes give best

results because they prevent overbrowning in the

time it takes to cook the center areas. Pans with

dull (satin-finish) bottoms are recommended for

cake pans and pie pans for best bottom browning.

3. Dark or non-shiny finishes, glass, and pyroceram

absorb heat which may result in dry, crisp crusts.

4. Preheating the oven is recommended when baking

foods by convection.

5. To prevent uneven heating and save energy, open

HEATING / REHEATING GUIDE

To heat or reheat successfully in a microwave oven, it is important to follow several guidelines. Measure the

amount of food in order to determine the time needed to reheat. Arrange the food in a circular pattern for best

results. Room temperature food will heat faster than refrigerated food. Canned foods should be taken out of the

can and placed in a microwave-safe container. The food will heat more evenly if covered with a microwave-safe

lid or vented plastic wrap. Remove cover carefully to prevent steam burns. Use the following chart as a guide for

reheating cooked food.

MAINTENANCE

CARING FOR YOUR

MICROWAVE OVEN

To make sure your microwave oven looks good and

works well for a long time, you should maintain it

properly. For proper care, please follow these

instructions carefully.

For interior surfaces: Wash

often with warm, sudsy water

and a sponge or soft cloth. Use

only mild, nonabrasive soaps

or a mild detergent. Be sure to

keep the areas clean where

the door and oven frame

touch when closed. Wipe well

with clean cloth. Over time,

stains can occur on the

surfaces as the result of food particles spattering during

cooking. This is normal.

For stubborn soil, boil a cup of

water in the oven for 2 to 3

minutes. Steam will soften the

soil. To get rid of odors inside

the oven, boil a cup of water

with some lemon juice or

vinegar in it.

For exterior surfaces and

control panel: Use a soft cloth

with spray glass cleaner. Apply

the spray glass cleaner to the

soft cloth; do not spray directly

on the oven.

NOTE: Abrasive cleansers,

steel wool pads, gritty wash

cloths, some paper towels,

etc., can damage the control panel and the interior and

exterior oven surfaces.

To clean Grass turntable

and rotating ring, wash in

mild, sudsy water; for

heavily soiled areas use a

mild cleanser and scouring

sponge. The glass

turntable and rotating ring

are dishwasher safe.

FILTERS

1. Unplug the microwave oven.

2. To remove grease filters, slide each filter to the

side. Pull filters downward and push to the other

side. The filter will drop out.

3. Soak grease filters in hot water and a mild

detergent. Scrub and swish to remove embedded

dirt and grease. Rinse well and shake to dry. Do

not clean filters with ammonia, corrosive

cleaning agents such as lye-based oven

cleaners, or place them in a dishwasher. The

filters will turn black or could be damaged.

4. To replace grease filters, slide filter in the frame slot

on one side of the opening. Push filter upward and

push to the other side to lock into place.

5. Plug in the microwave oven.

CHARCOAL FILTER

REPLACEMENT

If your oven is vented inside, the charcoal filter should

be replaced every 6 to 12 months, and more often if

necessary. The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. To

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q. Can I use a rack in my microwave oven so that I

may reheat or cook in two levels at a time?

A. Only use the rack that is supplied with your

microwave oven. Use of any other rack can result in

poor cooking performance and/or arcing and may

damage your oven.

Q. Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my

microwave oven?

A. Usable metal includes aluminum foil for shielding

(use small, flat pieces), and shallow foil trays (if tray

is 3/4 inch deep and filled with food to absorb

microwave energy). Never allow metal to touch

walls or door.

Q. Sometimes the door of my microwave oven

appears wavy. Is this normal?

A. This appearance is normal and does not affect the

operation of your oven.

Q. The glass tray does not moving.

A. • The glass tray is not correctly in place. It should be

correct-side up and sitting firmly on the center hub.

• The support is not operating correctly. Remove the

glass tray and restart the oven. Cooking without

the glass tray can give you poor results.

Q. Why does the dish become hot when I

microwave food in it? I thought that this should

not happen.

A. As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to

the dish. Use hot pads to remove food after

cooking.

Q. What does standing time mean?

A. Standing time means that food should be taken out

of the oven and covered for additional time after

cooking. This process allows the cooking to finish,

saves energy, and frees the oven for other purpose.

Q. Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven?

How do I get the best results?

A. Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following

manufacturer’s guidelines or use the

preprogrammed Popcorn pad.

Do not use regular paper bags. Use the listening

test by stopping the oven as soon as the popping

slows to a pop every one or two seconds. Do not try

to repop unpopped kernels. You can also use

special microwave poppers. When using a popper,

be sure to follow manufacturer’s directions. Do not

pop popcorn in glass utensils.

Q. Why does steam come out of the air exhaust

vent?

A. Steam is normally produced during cooking. The

microwave oven has been designed to vent this

steam out the top vent.

- 41 -

USE

OVENPROOF GLASS

(treated for high intensity heat):

utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates,

cake plates, liquid measuring cups,

casseroles and bowls without metallic

trim.

CHINA:

bowls, cups, serving plates, and platters

without metallic trim.

PLASTIC:

Plastic wrap (as a cover)-- lay the plastic

wrap loosely over the dish and press it to

the sides.

Vent plastic wrap by turning back one

edge slightly to allow excess steam to

escape. The dish should be deep

enough so that the plastic wrap will not

touch the food. As the food heats it may

melt the plastic wrap wherever the wrap

touches the food.

Use plastic dishes, cups,

semi-rigid freezer containers and plastic

bags only for short cooking time. Use

these with care because the plastic

may soften from the heat of the food.

PAPER:

Paper towels, waxed paper, paper

napkins, and paper plates with no

metallic trim or design. Look for the

manufacturer's label for use in the

microwave oven.

NOTE:

Do not use recycled paper products in

the microwave oven. They sometimes

contain impurities that cause arcing and

sparking.

NEVER use paper products in the

convection oven.

DO NOT USE

METAL UTENSILS:

Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces

uneven cooking. Also avoid metal skewers, thermometers, or foil

trays. Metal utensils can cause arcing, which can damage your

microwave oven.

METAL DECORATION:

Metal-trimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes,

etc. The metal trim interferes with normal cooking and may

damage the oven.

ALUMINUM FOIL:

Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking

and may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield

poultry legs and wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch

from the side walls and door of the oven.

WOOD:

Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack

when you use them in the microwave oven. Baskets react in the

same way.

TIGHTLY COVERED UTENSILS:

Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered

utensils. Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items

before cooking. Tightly closed pouches could explode.

BROWN PAPER:

Avoid using brown paper bags.

They absorb too much heat and could burn.

FLAWED OR CHIPPED UTENSILS:

Any utensil that is cracked, flawed, or chipped may break in the

oven.

METAL TWIST TIES:

Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags.

They become hot and could cause a fire.

MICROWAVE UTENSIL GUIDE

MAINTENANCE

- 42 -

Check the following list to be sure a service call is

really necessary. A quick reference of this manual as

well as reviewing additional information on items to

check may prevent an unneeded service call.

If nothing on the oven operates:

• check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main

circuit breaker.

• check if oven is properly connected to electric circuit

in house.

• check that controls are set properly.

If the oven interior light does not works:

• the light bulb is loose or defective.

If oven will not cook:

• check that control panel was programmed correctly.

• check that door is firmly closed.

• check that Start was pressed.

• check that probe was inserted correctly

into receptacle.

• check that timer wasn’t started instead of a cook

function.

If oven takes longer than normal to cook or cooks

too rapidly:

• be sure the Power Level is programmed properly.

If the time of day clock does not always keep

correct time:

• check that the power cord is fully inserted into the

outlet receptacle.

• be sure the oven is the only appliance on the

electrical circuit.

If food cooks unevenly:

• be sure food is evenly shaped.

• be sure food is completely defrosted before cooking.

• check placement of aluminum foil strips used to prevent

overcooking.

If food is undercooked:

• check recipe to be sure all directions (amount, time,

and power levels) were correctly followed.

• be sure microwave oven is on a separate circuit.

• be sure food is completely defrosted before cooking.

If food is overcooked:

• check recipe to be sure all directions (amount, power

level, time, size of dish) were followed.

If arcing (sparks) occur:

• be sure microwavable dishes were used.

• be sure wire twist ties weren’t used.

• be sure oven wasn’t operated when empty.

• make sure convection rack (if used) is properly installed

on 4 supports.

If the Display shows a time counting down but the

oven is not cooking:

• check that door is firmly closed.

• check that timer wasn’t started instead of a cooking

function.
