MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE
Do not operate the oven in the microwave mode without the turntable and the turntable support seated
and in place. The turntable must be unrestricted so it can rotate.
Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass casseroles,
cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not have
metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled "suitable for
microwaving:'
If you are not sure ifa dish
is microwave-safe, usethis
test: Placein the oven both
the dish you are testing
and a glass measuring cup
filled with I cup of waterHow totestfor
a microwave-safedish.
set the measuring cup
either in or next to the dish. Hicrowave 50-45
seconds at high. If the dish heats, it should not
be used for microwaving.
If the dish remains cool and only the water in
the cup heats, then the dish is microwave-safe.
Oversizedfood or oversized metal cookwore
should not be used in o microwave/convection
oven because they increase the risk of electric
shock and could cause o fire.
Sometimes the oven floor,turntable and walls
con become too hot to touch. Be careful touching
the floor, turntable and walls during and offer
cooking.
If you use a meat thermometer while
microwoving or using the Auto Grill, Manual Grill
or Combo Grill mode, make sure it is safe for use
in microwave ovens.
Do not use recycled paper products. Recycled
paper towels, napkins and waxed paper 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.
Some styrofoam trays (likethose that meat
is packaged on) have a thin strip of metal
embedded in the bottom. When microwaved,
the metal can burn the floor of the oven or
ignite a paper towel.
Use of the shelf accessory:
- Removethe shelf from the oven when
not in use.
-- Use pot holders when handling the shelf and
cookwore. They may be hot.
-- Be sure that the shelf is positioned properly inside
the oven to prevent product damage.
-- Do not cover the shelf or any part of the oven
with metal foil. This will cause overheating of
the microwave/griller oven.
Do not use your microwave/convection oven
to dry newspapers.
Not oil plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave
ovens. Checkthe package for proper use.
Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap con
be used to cover dishes in order to retain moisture
and prevent spattering while microwoving. Be sure
to vent plastic wrap so steam con escape.
Do not use paper products when the microwave/
griller oven is operated in the Auto Grill, Manual
Grill or Combo Grill mode.
Cookware may become hot because of heat
transferred from the heated food. Pot holders
may be needed to handle the cookware.
When microwoving "bailable" cooking pouches
and tightly closed plastic bags, they should be slit,
pierced or vented as directed by package. If they
are not, plastic could burst during or immediately
offer cooking, possibly resulting in injury. Also,
plastic storage containers should be at least
partially uncovered because they form o tight seal.
When cooking with containers tightly covered with
plastic wrap, remove covering carefully and direct
steam away from hands and face.
Usefoil only as directed in this manual. When using
foil in the microwave oven, keep the foil at least 1"
away from the sides of the oven.
Plasticcookwore-Plostic cookwore designed for
microwave cooking is very useful, but should be
used carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic may
not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as
ore gloss or ceramic materials and may soften or
char if subjected to short periods of overcooking.
In longer exposures to overcooking, the food
and cookware could ignite.
Plastic microwave cookware can NOT be used
when using the grilling functions of this oven.
Follow these guidelines:
H Use microwave-safe plastics only and use
,m
them in strict compliance with the cookware
manufacturer's recommendations.
F_Do not microwave empty containers.
]Do
not permit children to use plastic cookware
without complete supervision.

Defrosting Tips
Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be
defrosted in the package.Closedpackages
should be slit, piercedor vented AFTERfood
has partially defrosted. Plasticstorage
containers should be partially uncovered.
Family-size, prepackaged frozen
dinners can be defrosted and microwaved.
If the food is in a foil container, transfer
it to a microwave-safe dish.
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.
For more even defrosting of larger foods,
such as roasts, use Auto Defrost. Be sure
large meats are completely defrosted
before cooking.
When defrosted, food should be cool
but softened in all areas. If still slightly icy,
return to the microwave very briefly, or let
it stand a few minutes.
Some models include a defrost rack, If you
have a defrost rack, place it on top of the
turntable and the food item on the rack for
best results.
Beverage (Do not use the shelves when
microwave cooking.)
The Beverage feature heats beverages from
6 to 12 ounces.
Drinks heated with the Beverage feature mog

percent of the time. Power level 7 is
microwave energg 70% of the time. Power
level 3 is energg 30% of the time. Host
cooking will be done on High (power level 10)
which gives gou 100% power. PowerlevellO
will cook faster but food mag need more
frequent stirring, rotating or turning over.
A lower setting will cook more evenlg and
need less stirring or rotating of the food.
Some foods mag have better flavor,texture
or appearance if one of the lower settings is
used. Use a lower power level when cooking
foods that have a tendencg to boil over,
such as scalloped potatoes.
Restperiods (when the microwave
energg cgcles off) give time for the food
to "equalize" or transfer heat to the inside
of the food. An example of this is shown with
power level 3-the defrost cgcle. If microwave
energg did not cgcle off, the outside
of the food would cook before
the inside was defrosted.
Here are some examplesof uses for various
power levels:
High lO: Fish,bacon, vegetables, heating
liquids.
Mad-High 7: Gentle cooking of meat and
poultrg; baking casseroles and reheating.
Medium 5: Slow cooking and tenderizing
for stews and lesstender cuts of meat.
Low2 or 3: Defrosting;simmering; delicate
sauces.
Warm 1: Keeping food warm; softening
butter.

Cookwore tips.
Metal Pens are recommended for manual and auto grilling, especially where
browning is important. Dark or dull finish metal pans are best because they absorb heat
and produce a crisper exterior.
Glass or Glass-Ceramic casseroleor baking dishes are best suited for egg and cheese recipes
due to the cleanabilitg of glass.Theg are also recommended when the grilling pan is not large
enought to accommodate what gou are cooking.
Glass or Glass-Ceramic containers are recommended for microwaving and combination
grilling. Be sure not to use items with metal trim as it mag cause arcing (sparking)with
oven wall or oven shelf.This can damage the cookware, the shelf or the oven.
