OPERATION

OF TOUCH

CONTROL

PANEL

Your new Microwave-Convection
Oven uses a microprocessor, the electronic brain that
provides a wide variety of cooking programs which could not be achieved by conventional
control methods.
The operation of the oven is controlled by touching the appropriate
pads arranged on the surface of the control panel. The lighted digital readout will display
the cooking time, convection
temperature
or time of day, and indicators show the
variable cooking setting and cooking function you have programmed.

An audible entry signal tone should be heard each time you touch the control
make a correct entry. If you do not hear this sound,
1) you have not used enough pressure in touching the pad,
2) you have made more entries than the control panel will accept,
3) you have made an incorrect entry.
In addition to the entry signal tone, an audible signal will

for each recipe. Basic instructions follow:

Cookbook

you will find step by step directions

1. Always make certain the metal turntable is seated and in place. The oven should not be
used without the turntable in place, and it should never be restricted so that it cannot
rotate.
2. The Variable Cooking Control on your Microwave-Convection
Oven allows you to
select the amount of microwave energy and the rate of cooking or defrosting. There are
five levels or settings for cooking: HIGH, MEDIUM
HIGH, MEDIUM, MEDIUM
LOW/
DEFROST and LOW. Your Cookbook explains the use of this feature.
3. Be sure to select the recommended power level before beginning to cook. Refer to
Operation of the Touch Control Panel on page 9 for proper procedure. If you do not
touch a setting on the Variable Cooking Control panel, the oven will automatically
cook at HIGH. Each recipe in your Cookbook gives instructions for the setting best
suited for that particular food category. As you become more familiar with the use of
the Variable Cooking Control and microwave cooking, you will be able to judge which
power level to use for various foods.
4. If food does not seem to be heating properly, check the indicator immediately above the
lighted digital display. Be sure the Variable Cooking Control is on the proper setting.
5. The oven is programmed

Many foods are cooked at HIGH (100% power) for best results. The Variable Cooking
Control allows you to select the rate of microwave cooking, but the oven will automatically operate at HIGH if no Variable Cooking Control pad is touched.
If you wish to cook
at HIGH, it is not necessary to touch the HIGH pad. For other Variable Cooking Control
levels, the desired setting must be entered.

the HIGH MIX/ROAST
pad is preprogrammed for 375°F with 30% microwave power. On
both of these settings the convection
heating system and the microwave system automatically alternate to give you fast, even cooking. The convection temperature setting of
either pad can be changed to accommodate a wide variety of foods. See your MicrowaveConvection Cookbook for complete cooking information.

CLEANING AND CARE
Touch

Control

Panel:

Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel. If the control panel becomes
soiled, open the oven door before cleaning. This will inactivate the control panel. Wipe the
panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Do not scrub or use any sort of
chemical cleaners. Avoid the use of excess water.

Interior:
1. The oven walls and floor are stainless steel. For easy cleaning, wipe up any spatters
or spills with a soft, damp cloth or sponge after each use, or clean with mild
detergent and water.
For heavier soil, use a mild cleanser such as Soft Scrub ® or Bon Ami ® , following
manufacturer's
instructions,
or use a paste of baking soda and water. Apply to
stainless steel walls, floor or turntable only; DO NOT USE CLEANSER ON OVEN
CEILING.
Plastic or nylon scouring sponges or pads recommended for use on
Teflon* and Silverstone* can be used on the oven walls or turntable, but not on
the ceiling. Be sure to rinse with a damp cloth or sponge after cleaning to completely remove all cleanser residue. Dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use strong chemical cleaners or harsh abrasives.
2.

The ceiling of the oven has a continuous clean finish, a specially formulated
catalytic surface which permits the gradual oxidation of most soils during normal
cooking cycles. The surface will be damaged by contact with commercial oven
cleaners, abrasives, powder cleaners or scouring pads. DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANER.
Some manual cleaning of the continuous clean finish may be necessary if excess
spattering occurs; use a paper towel or sponge to blot up and remove excess spatter
while the oven is still warm and the soil is soft and pliable. Operate the oven empty
at 450°F convection cycle for 30 minutes or more to fully activate the continuous
clean finish.

The waveguide cover can be easily removed for cleaning. Slide the cover to the left,
grasp and pull down. Use mild soap and water to remove excess grease buildup
before it bakes on. The cover must be kept clean to avoid uneven microwave distribution.

* Du Pont's registered trademark

Turntable:
The turntable can be removed for easy cleaning. Wash the turntable in mild, sudsy water;
for stubborn stains use a mild cleanser and scouring sponge as described above. The turntable is dishwasher-safe.
The turntable motor shaft is sealed, but excess water or spills should not be allowed to
stand in this area.
Door:
Wipe the window on both sides with a cloth dampened with mild soap and warm water.
Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth.

CONDENSATION
Occasionally some foods will cause the oven to "sweat". The humidity and moisture in
food will influence the amount of moisture in the oven. Generally, covered foods will not
cause as much condensation as uncovered foods.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking.

CAUTIOUS

REMINDERS:

Do not operate the oven empty in the microwave mode. Either food or water should
always be in the oven during operation to absorb microwave energy.

Limit use of metal to those specific examples given in the utensil section of your Cookbook. Generally speaking, metal should not be used during operation of microwave
mode alone. Metal utensils can be used for convection and combination
cooking.

Do not cook eggs in the shell. Pressure will build up inside the shell and it will explode.
Do not reheat cooked eggs unless they are scrambled or chopped. Puncture the yolk
before cooking eggs.

Avoid canning in your microwave oven.

Do not heat oil or fat for deep fat frying.

Pierce the "skin" of potatoes,
skin covering before cooking.

Popcorn should be cooked only in special microwave poppers carefully following
manufacturer's
recommendations.
Do not pop popcorn in paper bags or glass utensils.
Microwave popped corn produces a lower yield than conventional popping; there will
be a number of unpopped kernels. Do not use oil unless specified by the manufacturer.
Do not remove the turntable while oven is in use or heat longer than recommended on
instructions.

Do not use plastic or styrofoam utensils for microwave cooking if the oven is hot from
convection cooking. The utensils may melt.

Do not use paper towels, plates or other utensils made from recycled paper for microwave cooking.
Recycled paper products may contain certain impurities which could
cause the paper to ignite during microwave cooking.

10. Unlike microwave-only
ovens, all microwave-convection
ovens have a tendency to
become hot on the cabinet and oven door, as do conventional ovens and convectiononly ovens. Be careful when touching parts other than the handle or control panel
during or immediately following convection cooking.

REMINDERS
Door Seal:
The door seal is designed to prevent leakage of microwave energy during cooking.
Occasionally moisture may appear around the oven door. This is not abnormal and does not
necessarily indicate the oven is leaking microwave energy.

COOKING

With the exception of those foods that cook best by convection heating alone, most foods
are well suited to combination
cooking; that is convection heating combined with microwave cooking.
The marriage of these two cooking methods produces juicy roasts, moist and tender cakes
and fine textured breads, all with just the right amount of browning and crispness.

The results are juicy, crisp browned meats done to your liking.

Basic Roasting

Procedure:

1. Place meat directly on turntable or on the metal broiling trivet, or in a shallow roasting
pan on the turntable, as you prefer.
2. Season, as desired.
3. Consult chart in your Cookbook for roasting temperature and timing.
4. Program oven for appropriate
cooking time and mix setting. Change temperature
if

NOTE:
During combination
baking some metal baking utensils may cause arcing when they come
in contact with the turntable, oven walls or accessory racks. Arcing is a discharge of
electricity that occurs when microwaves come in contact with metal.
If arcing occurs when using a fluted tube pan, place a heat resistant dish (Pyrex ® pie plate,
glass pizza dish or dinner plate) between the pan and the turntable. If arcing occurs with
other metal baking utensils, discontinue their use for combination cooking.
