COOKING COMPARISON GUIDE
UNDERSTANDING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
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
Microwave energy is
distributed evenly
throughout the oven for fast,
thorough cooking of food.

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 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.

TIPS FOR MICROWAVE COOKING
BROWNING
Meat and poultry with high fat content that are cooked
for 10 or 15 minutes or longer will brown lightly. Foods
cooked a shorter time can be brushed with a browning
agent, such as Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, or
barbecue sauce.
COVERING
A cover traps heat and steam and causes the food to
cook more quickly. Use a lid or microwave-safe plastic
wrap with one corner folded back to vent the excess
steam. Lids on glass casseroles can become hot
during cooking. Handle carefully. Waxed paper will
prevent the food from splattering in the oven and help
retain heat. When warming bread items, use waxed
paper, napkins, or paper towels. To absorb extra
moisture, wrap sandwiches and fatty foods in paper
towels.
SPACING
Arrange individual foods, such as baked potatoes,
cupcakes, and hors d’oeuvres’ in a circle and at least
1 inch apart. This will help the food cook more evenly.
STIRRING
Stirring blends flavors and redistributes the heat in
foods. Always stir from the outside toward the center
of the dish. Food at the outside of the dish heats first.
TURNING
Large foods, such as roasts and whole poultry, should
be turned so that the top and bottom cook evenly. Also
turn over chicken pieces and chops.
ARRANGEMENT
Do not stack food. Arrange in a single layer in the dish
for more even cooking. Because dense foods cook
more slowly, place thicker portions of meat, poultry, fish,
and vegetables toward the outside of the dish.
TESTING FOR DONENESS
Because foods cook quickly in a microwave oven, you
need to test frequently for doneness.
STANDING TIME
Depending on density, food often needs to stand from
2 to 15 minutes either in or outside of oven after
cooking power shuts off. Outside of oven, you usually
need to cover food during standing time to retain heat.
Remove most foods when they are slightly undercooked
and they will finish cooking during standing time. The
internal temperature of food will rise about 10°F during
standing time.
SHIELDING
To prevent some portions of rectangular or square
dishes from overcooking, you may need to shield
them with small strips of aluminum foil to block the
microwaves. You can also cover poultry legs and
wing tips with foil to keep them from overcooking.
Always keep foil at least 1 inch from oven walls
to prevent arcing.
PIERCING
Pierce the shell, skin, or membrane of foods before
cooking to prevent them from bursting. Foods that
require piercing include yolks and whites of eggs, hot
dogs, clams, oysters, and whole vegetables, such as
potatoes and squash.
CLEANING
Wipe the oven inside and outside with a soft cloth and
a mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry.
This should be done weekly or more often, if needed.
Never use cleaning powders or rough pads.
Excessive oil splatters on the inside top will be difficult
to remove if left for many days. Wipe splatters with a
wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or
bacon.
REMOVABLE PARTS
The metal tray, metal rack, glass turntable and turntable
roller rest are removable. They should be hand-washed
in warm (not hot) water with a mild detergent and a soft
cloth. Once they are clean, rinse well and dry with a soft
cloth. Never use cleaning powders, steel wool, or rough
pads.
• Removable parts may be cleaned at the sink. Be
careful not to chip or scratch the edges as this may
cause them to break during use.
• The metal tray and glass turntable may also be
cleaned in a dishwasher.
• The turntable roller rest should be cleaned regularly.
SPECIAL CARE
For best performance and safety, the inner door panel
and the oven front frame should be free of food or
grease buildup. Wipe often with a mild detergent; then
rinse and wipe dry. Never use cleaning powders or
rough pads.
After cleaning the control panel, touch STOP/CLEAR
to clear any entries that might have been entered
accidentally while cleaning the panel.

AUTO DEFROST
Four defrost choices are preset in the oven. The defrost
feature provides you with the best defrosting method for
frozen foods because the oven automatically sets the
defrosting times for each food item according to the
weight you enter. For added convenience, the AUTO
DEFROST includes a built-in tone mechanism that
reminds you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange
the food during the defrost cycle. Four different
defrosting options are provided.
1. MEAT
2. POULTRY
3. FISH
4. BREAD
After touching the AUTO DEFROST button once, select
the food category by turning the dial. Available weight
ranges for Meat, Poultry and Fish are 0.1 to 6.0 lbs.
The available weight range for Bread is 0.1 to 1.0 lb.
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.
• Form the meat into the shape of a doughnut before
freezing. When defrosting, scrape off thawed meat
when the beep sounds and continue defrosting.
• Place foods in a shallow glass baking dish or on a
microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.
• Foods should still be somewhat icy in the center
when removed from the oven.
NOTE: After you touch START button, the display
counts down the defrost time. The oven will beep once
during the Defrost cycle. At this time, open the door and
turn, separate, or rearrange the food as needed.
Remove any portions that have thawed then return
frozen portions to the oven and touch START button to
resume the defrost cycle. The oven will not STOP
during the BEEP unless the door is opened.

USING YOUR CONVECTION OVEN
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 flavor 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 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. Your oven comes equipped with metal tray which can
be used for cooking on 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 may need to lower some
temperatures or reduce some cooking times from the
convectional oven cooking directions. See examples
in the charts in this section.
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 heatproof cookware or metal utensils can be used
in convection cooking.
9. 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.
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.
12. Lower oven temperature by 25°F from package
recommended temperature.
PRECAUTIONS
•The oven cavity, door, turntable, rotating ring, metal
racks, and cooking utensils will become very hot.
USE THICK OVEN GLOVES when removing the food,
cooking utensil, metal rack, and turntable from the oven
after convection cooking.
•Do not use lightweight plastic containers, plastic wraps,
or paper products during any convection cycle.
ENGLISH

USING YOUR CONVECTION OVEN
CONVECTION
During convection cooking, a heating element is used to
raise the temperature of the air inside the oven.
Convection cooking temperature range from 225°F to
450°F and 100°F may be programmed.
It is best to preheat the oven when convection cooking.
Lower oven temperature by 25°F from package
recommended temperature.
NOTES:
•When the oven reaches the set preheat temperature,
five tones will sound and 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.
NOTES:
• The temperature range has 10 steps from 225°F to
450°F including 100°F (dough rising).
• Turn the dial to increase/decrease the temperature by
25°F after touching the CONVECTION button. (The
default temperature is 350°F.)
After preheating display scrolls “PREAHEAT end”
with sound. Open the door, place food on the oven
rack, and close the door.
Display scrolls “ Turn dial to set cooking time”

CONVECTION COOKING GUIDE
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 9.)
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
the oven door to check food as little as possible.

USING YOUR COMBINATION OVEN
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 ovenproof.
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, place a heatproof 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.

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.
ITEMS COOK TIME SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

Questions and Answers
Operation
Question
Why is the oven light not on during
cooking?
Why does steam come out of the air
exhaust vent?
Will the microwave oven be damaged if it
operates empty?
Does microwave energy pass through the
viewing screen in the door?
Why does a tone sound when a pad on the
control panel is touched?
Can my microwave oven be damaged if
food is cooked for too long?
When the oven is plugged into wall outlet
for the first time, it might not work properly.
What is wrong?
Why do I see light reflection around the
outer case?
What are the various sounds I hear when
the microwave oven is operating?
There may be several reasons why the oven light is not on.
Have you:
• Set a cook time?
• Touched START?
Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven
has been designed to vent this steam.
Yes. Never operate the oven empty or without the glass turntable.
No. The metal screen bounces the energy back to the oven cavity.
The holes (or ports) allow only light to pass through. They do not
let microwave energy pass through.
The tone tells you that the setting has been entered.
Like any other cooking appliance, it is possible to overcook food
to the point that the food creates smoke and even possibly fire
and damage to the inside of the oven. It is always best to be near
the oven while you are cooking.
The microcomputer controlling your oven may temporarily
become scrambled and fail to function as programmed when you
plug in for the first time or when power resumes after a power
interruption. Unplug the oven from the ~120 volt household outlet
and then plug it back in to reset the microcomputer.
This light is from the oven light which is located between the
oven cavity and the outer wall of the oven.
The clicking sound is caused by a mechanical switch turning the
microwave oven’s magnetron ON and OFF.
The heavy hum and clunk is from the change in power the
magnetron draws as it is turned ON and OFF by a mechanical
switch. The change in blower speed is from the change in line
voltage caused by the magnetron being turned ON and OFF.

Question Answer
What is wrong when baked foods have a
hard, dry, brown spot?
Why do eggs sometimes pop?
A hard, dry, brown spot indicates overcooking. Shorten the
cooking or reheating time.
When baking, frying, or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to
steam build-up inside the yolk membrane. To prevent this,
simply pierce the yolk before cooking.
CAUTION: Never microwave eggs in the shell.

Food
Question
What is wrong when baked foods have a
hard, dry, brown spot?
Why do eggs sometimes pop?
Why are scrambled eggs sometimes a
little dry after cooking?
Why do baked apples sometimes burst
during cooking?
Why do baked potatoes sometimes
burn during cooking?
Why is a standing time recommended
after microwave cooking time is over?
Why is additional time required for
cooking food stored in the refrigerator?
A hard, dry, brown spot indicates overcooking. Shorten the cooking
or reheating time.
When baking, frying, or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to
steam buildup inside the yolk membrane. To prevent this,
simply pierce the yolk with a wooden toothpick before cooking.
CAUTION: Never microwave eggs in the shell.
Eggs will dry out when they are overcooked, even if the same
recipe is used each time. The cooking time may need to be varied
for one of these reasons:
• Eggs vary in size.
• Eggs are at room temperature one time and at refrigerator
temperature another time.
• Eggs continue cooking during standing time.
The peel has not been removed from the top half of each apple to
allow for expansion of the interior of the apple during cooking. As in
conventional cooking methods, the interior of the apple expands
during the cooking process.
If the cooking time is too long, fire could result. At the end of the
recommended cooking time, potatoes should be slightly firm.
CAUTION: Do not overcook.
Standing time allows foods to continue cooking evenly for a few
minutes after the actual microwave oven cooking cycle ends. The
amount of standing time depends upon the density of the foods.
As in conventional cooking, the initial temperature of food affects
total cooking time. You need more time to cook food taken out of a
refrigerator than for food at room temperature.
