do not understand the grounding instructions or if
doubt exists whether the appliance is properly
grounded. Do not use an extension cord. If the
power supply cord is too short, have a qualied
electrician or service technician install an outlet
near the microwave oven.
For a permanently connected appliance:
This appliance has a short power supply cord
to reduce the risk of anyone tripping over or
becoming entangled in the cord. The microwave
oven must be connected to a grounded, metallic,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment
grounding conductor should be run with the
circuit conductors and connected to the
equipment grounding terminal or lead on the
microwave oven.

Overview
This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also discusses the basic information you
need to know to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information before you use your oven.
HOW YOUR MICROWAVE HOOD COMBINATION WORKS
Microwave energy is not hot. It causes food to
make its own heat, and it is this heat that cooks the
food. Microwaves are like TV waves, radio waves,
or light waves. You cannot see them, but you can
see what they do.
A magnetron in the microwave oven produces
microwaves. The microwaves move into the
oven where they contact food as it turns on the
turntable.
The glass turntable of your microwave oven lets
microwaves pass through. Then they bounce o a
metal oor, back through the glass turntable, and
are absorbed by the food.
Microwaves pass through most glass, paper, and
plastics without heating them so food absorbs the
energy. Microwaves bounce o metal containers
so food does not absorb the energy.
Sensor Cooking
The Microwave System features Sensor Cooking
functions. A humidity sensor in the oven cavity
detects moisture and humidity emitted from food
as it heats. The sensor adjusts cooking times to
various types and amounts of food. Sensor cooking
takes the guess work out of microwave cooking.
For the best cooking results
• Always cook food for the shortest cooking time
recommended. Check to see how the food is
cooking.
• Stir, turn over, or rearrange the food being
cooked about halfway through the cooking time
for all recipes. This will help make sure the food
is evenly cooked.
• If you do not have a cover for a dish, use wax
paper, or microwave-approved paper towels or
plastic wrap. Remember to turn back a corner of
the plastic wrap to vent steam during cooking
• Always remove the cooking rack from the oven
when the rack is not in use.
TESTING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
To test the oven, put approximately 1 cup of cold
water in a glass container in the oven. Close the
door.
Cook at 100% power for 1 minute. When the time
is up, the water should be heated.
Magnetron
Oven cavity
Glass tray
Metal oor
RADIO INTERFERENCE
Using your microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV, or similar equipment. When there is
interference, you can reduce it or remove it by:
Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces of the oven.
Adjusting the receiving antenna of the radio or television.
Moving the receiver away from the microwave oven.
Plugging the microwave oven into a dierent outlet so that the microwave oven and receiver are on
dierent branch circuits.

OVERVIEW
TESTING YOUR DINNERWARE OR COOKWARE
Test dinnerware or cookware before using. To
test a dish for safe use, put it into the oven with
a cup of water beside it. Cook at 100% cook
power for one minute.
If the dish gets hot, do not use it. Some dishes
(melamine, some ceramic dinnerware, etc.) absorb
microwave energy, becoming too hot to handle
and slowing cooking time. Cooking in metal
containers not designed for microwave use could
damage the oven, as could containers with hidden
metal (twist-ties, foil lining, staples, metallic glaze
or trim).
OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Never lean on the door or allow a child to
swing on it when the door is open.
Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heat
containers, but the heat from the food can make
the container hot.
Do not use newspaper or other printed paper in
the oven.
Do not dry owers, fruit, herbs, wood, paper,
gourds, or clothes in the oven.
Do not start a microwave oven when it is empty.
Product life may be shortened. If you practice
programming the oven, put a container of
water in the oven. It is normal for the oven door
to look wavy after the oven has been running
for a while.
Do not try to melt paran wax in the oven.
Paran wax will not melt in a microwave oven
because it allows microwaves to pass through it.
Do not operate the microwave oven unless the
glass turntable is securely in place and can
move freely. The turntable can move in either
direction. Make sure the turntable is correct-
side up in the oven. Handle your turntable with
care when removing it from the oven to avoid
possibly breaking it. If your turntable cracks or
breaks, contact your dealer for a replacement.
When you use a browning dish, the browning
dish bottom must be at least 3 ⁄16 inch above
the turntable. Follow the directions supplied with
the browning dish.
Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside
the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
cause them to burst, and possibly damage the
oven. Slice hard-boiled eggs before heating.
In rare cases, poached eggs have been known
to explode. Cover poached eggs and allow a
standing time of one minute before cutting into
them.
For best results, stir any liquid several times
during heating or reheating. Liquids heated in
certain containers (especially containers shaped
like cylinders) may become overheated. The
liquid may splash out with a loud noise during
or after heating or when adding ingredients
(coee granules, tea bags, etc.). This can harm
the oven.
Microwaves may not reach the center of a
roast. The heat spreads to the center, from the
outside, cooked areas just as in regular oven
cooking. This is one of the reasons for letting
some foods (for example, roasts or baked
potatoes) stand for a while after cooking, or for
stirring some foods during the cooking time.
Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable
utensils are not suitable and it is dicult to
maintain appropriate deep-frying temperatures.
Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the
recommended cooking time, potatoes should be
slightly rm because they will continue cooking
during standing time. After microwaving, let
potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will nish
cooking while standing.
•
•
•
•
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
If your electric power line or outlet voltage is less
than 110 volts, cooking times may be longer. Have
a qualied electrician check your electrical system

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.
OPERATING TIPS
For best results, remove sh, shellsh, 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 o 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” following the Auto Defrost Table.
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.

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
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 aects 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, sh
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.

Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your
favorite foods without selecting cooking times
and power levels. The display will indicate
Sensing during the initial sensing period.
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. Glass Tray (TURNTABLE) and outside of
container should be dry to assure best
cooking results.
3. Foods should always be covered with
microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper,
or a lid.
4. Do not open the door or touch the STOP key
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 OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Appropriate containers and coverings help
assure good Sensor cooking results.
1. Always use microwavable containers and
cover them with lids or plastic wrap.
2. Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They
can prevent steam from escaping and cause
food to overcook.
3. Match the amount to 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.

You can set Warm & Hold to follow Auto Defrost,
Cook, or two stage cooking.
NOTES:
Warm & Hold operates for up to 90 minutes.
Opening the oven door cancels Warm & Hold.
Close the door and touch Warm & Hold, then
touch START if additional Warm & Hold time is
desired.
Food that is cooked covered should also be
covered during Warm & Hold.
Pastry items (pies, turnovers, etc.) should be
uncovered during Warm & Hold.
Complete meals kept warm on a dinner plate
should be covered during Warm & Hold.
Do not use more than one complete Warm &
Hold cycle (about 1 hour, 30 minutes). The quality
of some foods will suer with extended time.

TIPS FOR CONVECTION COOKING
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 avor by the
constant motion of hot air over the food surfaces.
Your oven uses convection cooking whenever you
use the Convection Button. DO NOT USE THE OVEN
WITHOUT THE TURNTABLE IN PLACE.
1.
Always use the metal rack on the turntable
when convection cooking.
2.
Do not cover turntable or metal rack with
aluminum foil. It interferes with the ow 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 soués,
breads, cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and
for some meat and sh cooking.
5. Your oven comes equipped with metal tray
which can be used for cooking in convection
mode or combination mode.
6.
You do not need to use any special techniques
to adapt your favorite oven recipes to
convection cooking; however, you need to lower
oven temperature by 25°F from recommended
temperature mentioned in package instructions
when cooking packaged food in convection
mode.
7.
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.
8. All heat-proof cookware or metal utensils can
be used in convection cooking.
9.
As in conventional cooking, the distance of
the food from the heat source aects cooking
results. Refer to the charts in this Use and Care
Guide.
10.
Use metal utensils only for convection cooking.
Never use for microwave or combination
cooking since arcing and damage to the oven
may occur.
11.
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, turntable, roller rest,
metal tray, metal rack, and cooking utensils will
become very hot. USE THICK OVEN GLOVES
when removing the food, cooking utensils, metal
rack, metal tray, and turntable from the oven
after convection cooking.
Do not use lightweight plastic containers, plastic
wraps, or paper products during any convection
cycle.

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.
NOTES:
When the oven reaches the set preheat
temperature, ve (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 exhaust fan in
the vent hood will automatically turn on at the
1-speed setting to protect the oven.

CONVECTION BAKING GUIDELINES
1. Always use the metal rack when convection
baking. Place food directly on rack or place in
metal tray and then place tray on rack. (See
page 15.)
2. Aluminum pans conduct heat quickly. For most
convection baking, light, shiny nishes give best
results because they prevent over-browning in
the time it takes to cook the center areas. Pans
with dull (satin-nish) bottoms are recommended
for cake pans and pie pans for best bottom
browning.
3. Dark or non-shiny nishes, 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
the oven door to check food as little as possible.
Notes:
The oven temperature indicated in the chart above is recommended over the package instruction temperature.
The baking time in the chart above is only a guideline for your reference. You need to adjust time according to
the food condition or your preference. Check readiness at the minimum time.

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.
HELPFUL HINTS FOR
COMBINATION COOKING
1. Meats may be roasted directly on the metal
rack or in a shallow roasting pan placed on the
rack. When using the metal 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.
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 metal rack.
— We recommend you use the metal tray
applied with your oven. It has rubber feet
that helps prevent arcing.
— If arcing occurs with other baking cookware,
do not use them for combination cooking.
Example: To roast with combination cooking for
45 minutes at 400°F.

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 after cooking to prevent steam burns. Use
the following chart as a guide for reheating cooked food.

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 tray and rotating ring, wash in
mild, sudsy water; for
heavily soiled areas
use a mild cleanser
and scouring sponge.
The glass tray and
rotating ring are
dishwasher safe.

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
reheated 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 dierent-shaped pieces.
With foods that have dierent 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, and Keep food moist.
You can use any covering that lets microwaves
pass through. See
How Your Microwave Hood
Combination Works
on page 5 for materials that
microwaves will pass through. If you are using the
Sensor function, be sure to vent.

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 inside or
outside the oven after the cooking or defrost
period ends. Standing time after defrosting
and cooking allows the temperature to evenly
spread throughout the food, improving cooking
or defrosting results.
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, the standing time may be
as long as 10 minutes. For such longer periods,
you may want to program a "0" power second
stage of the cooking cycle for standing time
inside the oven. See
Two-Stage Cooking
.
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 sh, 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.

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 top of the food. If you use
aluminum containers without package instructions,
follow these guidelines:
Place the container in a glass bowl and add
some water so that it covers the bottom of
the container, not more than 1⁄4-in. (.64-cm)
high. This ensures even heating of the container
bottom.
Always remove the 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 lled.
To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum 1⁄4
in. (.64 cm) between the aluminum container
and the walls of the oven and also between two
aluminum containers.
Always place the container on the turntable.
Shield with small pieces of aluminum foil the
parts of food that may cook quickly, such as
wing tips and leg ends of poultry.
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 dicult to keep
the oven at the high temperature needed for
sterilization.

Removing the rack
When popping commercially packaged
popcorn, remove the rack from the oven. Do
not place the bag of microwave popcorn on the
rack or under the rack.
In the case of popping microwave popcorn with
the rack, that can cause re or damage to your
microwave oven.

COOKING COMPARISON GUIDE
Cooking with your new oven oers 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
avor 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 o automatically.
The following guide shows at a glance the dierence
between microwave, convection, and combination
cooking.

COOKING TIPS
COOKWARE GUIDE
Microwave Cooking
Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe for
use in your microwave oven.
However, 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 nish 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 muns because these pans reect 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.

Questions And Answers
QUESTIONS ANSWERS
Can I operate my microwave oven without the glass
tray or move the glass tray over to hold a large
dish?
Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my mi-
crowave oven?
Is it normal for the guide tray to move in either
direction?
Why does the dish become hot when I microwave
food in it?
I thought that this should not happen.
What does “standing time” mean?
Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?
Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven?
How do I get the best results?
No. If you remove or move the glass tray, you will get
poor cooking results. Dishes used in your oven must t on
the glass or guide tray.
You can use aluminum foil for shielding (use small, at
pieces), small skewers, and shallow foil trays (if tray is
not taller than 3⁄4-in. [1.9-cm] deep and is lled with
food to absorb microwave energy). Never allow metal
to touch walls or door.
Yes. The guide tray moves from side to side, depend-
ing on the rotation of the motor when the cooking cycle
begins.
As the food becomes hot, it will conduct the heat to the
dish. Be prepared to use hot pads to remove food after
cooking.
“Standing time” means that after the timed ccoking
period ends, food should be allowed to stand either
inside or outside of the oven to completely nish cooking.
Outside oven standing time will allow the oven to be
available for other use. For inside oven standing time,
you can program a "0" power second stage of the cook-
ing cycle. See
Two-Stage Cooking
.
Steam is normally produced during cooking. The
microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam
out of the vents.
Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following
manufacturer’s guidelines. Do not use regular paper
bags. Do not repop unpopped kernels. Do not pop
popcorn in glass cookware.
