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 panel to
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 sound for approximately 2
seconds at the end of the cooking cycle.
The following pages give complete instructions for using the touch control panel. Please
use these instructions and practice programming the oven step by step until you are
thoroughly familiar with its operation.
In giving directions, examples of foods have been used so that you may become familiar
with the practical uses for these features. However, we suggest that you first practice
operating the oven with one cup of water in a glass measuring cup inside rather than food.
Do not operate the oven empty during the microwave mode.
* YOU cannot program the oven if the door is not closed tightly.
* During cooking, the program cannot be changed until the STOP/CLEAR pad is touched.
All functions are locked in to prevent accidental changes.
Your Microwave-Convection Oven can be programmed for multiple cooking sequences
for microwave, convection and combination microwave-convection. Some of the se-
quences you might use in cooking include:

MICROWAVE COOKING
Throughout your Microwave-Convection Cookbook you will find step by step directions
for each recipe. Basic instructions follow:
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 by touching the appropriate Touch pads.
To Cook at High
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 automati-
cally 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.
* Suppose you want to heat 2 cups of coffee for 1 minute 30 seconds at HIGH.

Multiple Sequence Microwave Cooking
Your oven can be programmed for up to 4 automatic cooking sequences, switching from
one Variable Power Setting to another automatically.
Check the microwave recipe section of your Microwave-Convection Cookbook for ideas
on when to use multiple sequence cooking.

CONVECTION COOKING
Your new oven can also be used for both convection and automatic microwave-convection
cooking. During convection heating, hot air is circulated throughout the oven cavity to
brown and crisp foods quickly and evenly.
The oven should not be used without the metal turntable in place and it should never be
restricted so that it cannot rotate. You may remove the turntable when preheating the
oven or when preparing food to be cooked directly on the turntable; cookies, for example.
L
Your new Microwave-Convection Oven allows you to preheat to the desired temperature
by touching a temperature pad. Whenever you want to automatically preheat the oven,
no "time" is entered. The oven will signal when it is ready. To preheat and then auto-
matically COOK, follow directions for CONVECTION COOKING on page 16.
* Suppose you want to preheat the oven to 325 ° F.

AUTOMATIC MIX COOKING
Your Microwave-Convection Oven has two preprogrammed settings that make it easy to
cook with both convection heat and microwaves automatically.
The LOW MIX/BAKE pad is preprogrammed for 350°F with 10% microwave power, while
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 auto-
matically 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 Microwave-
Convection Cookbook for complete cooking information.

SLOW COOK
The SLOW COOK setting is preset for 300°F for 4 hours. It is designed for foods which
cook longer than 99 minutes, 99 seconds at 300°F or less. Foods sqch as baked beans or
marinated chuck steak are best cooked slowly at low temperatures. The SLOW COOK
feature expands the length of cooking time to a maximum of 4 hours at 300°F or lower.
It adds to the overall versatility of your new Microwave-Convection Oven. When using
this setting, no cooking time is entered; you will need to time food manually.

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 com-
pletely 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 COMMER-
CIAL 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.
3. 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 distri-
bution.
* 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 turn-
table 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.
28
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:
1. 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.
2. Limit use of metal to those specific examples given in the utensil section of your Cook-
book. Generally speaking, metal should not be used during operation of microwave
mode alone. Metal utensils can be used for convection and combination cooking.
3. 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.
4. Avoid canning in your microwave oven.
5. Do not heat oil or fat for deep fat frying.
6. Pierce the "skin" of potatoes, whole squash, apples or any fruit or vegetabJe with a
skin covering before cooking.
7. 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.
8. Do not use plastic or styrofoam utensils for microwave cooking if the oven is hot from
convection cooking. The utensils may melt.
9. Do not use paper towels, plates or other utensils made from recycled paper for micro-
wave 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 convection-
only 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. Oc-
casionally moisture may appear around the oven door. This is not abnormal and does not
necessarily indicate the oven is leaking microwave energy.
Arcing:
Some metal baking utensils may cause arcing when they come in contact with the turn-
table, oven walls or accessory racks. DO NOT use metal utensils for microwave cooking
alone unless directions specify, and metal utensils should not come in contact with oven
walls. Please refer to page 8 in your Cookbook for more specific information.

CONVECTION COOKING GUIDELINES
This section of the operation manual is intended as a guide for the best cooking results using
Convection heating alone and combination cooking. Please use it as a guide along with your
new Microwave-Convection Cookbook.
ACCESSORIES I
The following accessories are designed especially for use in the Microwave-Convection
Oven. The racks are for convection or combination cooking only; do not use for micro-
wave cooking alone. Do not substitute similar types of racks for these specially designed
ones.
Baking Rack - This rack is used for two-
level cooking, such as layer cakes, muf-
fins, cookies.
Broiling Trivet - Used for roasting or
broil ing, such as steak or hamburgers.
31
CONVECTION HEATING-,
Some foods are best when cooked using convection heat alone. These are foods which
often have a cooking time of 15 minutes or less and usually need quick crisping and
browning.
These include:
Appetizers -frozen, pastry-type, or other
Biscuits and rolls -dairy case, brown n'serve, your recipe
Brownies- mix, your recipe
Cookies - mix, slice n'bake, frozen, your recipe
Cream puffs, puff pastry, turnovers, etc.
Fish sticks - frozen, breaded
Muffins-- mix, your recipe
Pie crust - frozen, mix, your recipe
Pizza - fresh, frozen, your recipe
Souffles
Basic Convection Heating Procedure:
1. Consult recipe or package directions for temperature and time.
2. Preheat oven if required by package directions or recipe.
3. Food may be cooked directly on turntable if appropriate, or on two levels using baking
rack and appropriate baking vessel. Example: Fish sticks may be cooked directly on
turntable. Muffins may be cooked on 2 levels using the baking rack and two 6-muffin
baking pans.
4. Check for doneness at the end of cooking time.
Helpful Hints:
1. Do not cover turntable or baking rack with aluminum foil. It interferes with the flow of
air that cooks food.
2. If food is not done when checked after cooking time, let stand in oven one or two min-
utes to complete cooking.
3. Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils for many convection-only items.
Choose pans that do not have extended handles.
Recommended Cooking Utensils:
Metal turntable
Baking Rack
Metal baking pans
Ovenable paperboard containers
Aluminum foil containers

CONVECTION BROILING 1
Your Microwave-Convection Oven will broil meats, fresh or frozen to perfection! As in
conventional cooking, broiling time will vary with thickness as well as weight. For best
results use the directions that follow:
Basic Convection Broiling Procedure:
1. Preheat oven 15 minutes at 450°F.
2. Prepare and season meat on both sides, as desired.
3. Place meat on broiling trivet or turntable.
4. Consult broiling chart in your Cookbook; set time for correct cooking time.
5. Turning meat over is not necessary.
6. Test for doneness; slit center of meat, check for desired color; red - rare, pink -
medium, gray - well done.
Helpful Hints:
1. Do not cover broiling trivet with aluminum foil. It interferes with the flow of air that
cooks food.
2. For faster clean-up spray trivet and turntable with non-stick vegetable spray.
3. To eliminate excess fat in broiling, use broiling trivet.
4. Broiling may be done ahead of time, then individual portions sliced and reheated with
microwave power (MEDIUM setting) as needed.
5. Hot dogs cooked on the broiling trivet may be turned over to give an even, grilled
appearance,
Recommended Broiling Utensils:
Use only the metal turntable and the broiling trivet that are included with the oven.
ICOMBINATION 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 micro-
wave 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.
ATiON-ROASTiNG
Combination roasting in your oven isa simple task when you follow the instructions
given below. 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
recipe requires.
5. Check for desired doneness using a meat thermometer. If desired, a dual safe microwave/
conventional thermometer may be inserted in the meat at the beginning of cooktime.*
6. Let meat stand tented with aluminum foil 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
* A dual safe thermometer is specially designed to withstand high temperature and can
safely be used with heat or microwaves. Do not use conventional meat thermometers for
combination cooking and do not use microwave only thermometers for combination
cooking.
33
Helpful Hints:
1. If roasting frozen meat, insert dual safe meat thermometer halfway through cooking
time.
2. Thin sections of meat and wingtips and legs of birds that may overcook can be shielded
with small pieces of aluminum foil.
3. Less tender cuts of beef can be roasted and tenderized using oven cooking bags.
4. For true roasting, and fewer calories, use broiling trivet to hold meat out of its juices.
5. If gravy is desired, roast in glass utility dish, remove meat to carving board, then micro-
wave gravy.
Recommended Roasting Utensils:
Metal turntable
Broiling Trivet
Shallow metal roasting pans
Aluminum foil containers
Heat resistant glass
Coming Ware ®
coMBINA-TION BAKIN
Baking with the Microwave-Convection Oven is fast and simple. Convection heat gives
baked goods their structure and, of course, their browned appearance and microwaves
shorten the cooking time.
Basic Microwave-Convection Baking Procedure:
1. Consult Microwave-Convection Baking and Desserts section in your Cookbook for bak-
ing techniques.
2. Preheat oven if recipe directs.
3. Program oven for appropriate cooking time and mix setting. Change temperature if
recipe requires.
4. Check for doneness after baking time has elapsed. If not completely done, let stand in
oven a few minutes to complete cooking.
Recommended Baking Utensils:
Metal turntable
Baking Rack
Broiling Trivet
Metal baking pans
Ovenable paperboard containers
Aluminum foil containers
Heat resistant glass
Corn ing Ware ®
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.
