ENGLISH7COOKING COMPARISON GUIDEUNDERSTANDING YOUR MICROWAVE OVENCooking with your new oven offers a wide variety of foodpreparation options: microwave cooking, convectioncooking, and combination cooking.Microwave cooking uses very short, high-frequencyradio waves. The movement of the microwaves throughthe food generates heat and cooks most foods fasterthan regular methods, while retaining their naturaltexture and moisture. Microwave cooking heats fooddirectly, not the cookware or the interior of the oven.Reheating is easy and defrosting is particularlyconvenient because less time is spent in foodpreparation.Convection cooking constantly circulates heated airaround the food, creating even browning and sealed-inflavor by the constant motion of hot air over the foodsurfaces. Combination cooking combines microwave energywith convection to cook with speed and accuracy, whilebrowning and crisping to perfection.You can use microwave cooking, convection cooking, orcombination cooking to cook by time. Simply preset thelength of cooking time desired and your oven turns offautomatically. The following guide shows at a glance the differencebetween microwave, convection, and combinationcooking.MICROWAVEMicrowave energy isdistributed evenlythroughout the oven for fast,thorough cooking of food.Microwave energy.• Fast, high efficiency cooking. • Oven and surroundings do not get hot. • Easy clean-up.COOKINGMETHODHEAT SOURCEBENEFITSCONVECTIONHot air circulates aroundfood to produce brownedexteriors and sealed-injuices.Circulating heated air.• Aids in browning and seals in flavor. • Cooks some foods faster than regular ovens.COMBINATIONMicrowave energy andconvection heat combine toshorten the cooking time ofregular ovens, whilebrowning and sealing injuices.Microwave energy andcirculating heated air.• Shortened cooking time from microwave energy. • Browning and crisping from convection heat.Read this guide to learn the many different things your Microwave/Convection/Combination Oven can do.You will find a wide variety of cooking methods and programs designed to suit your lifestyle.
8ENGLISHUNDERSTANDING YOUR MICROWAVE OVENCOOKWARE GUIDEMicrowave CookingMost heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe foruse in your microwave oven. However, to test cookware before using, follow thesesteps:1. Place the empty cookware in the microwave oven.2. Measure 1 cup of water in a glass measuring cup andplace it in the oven beside the cookware.3. Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. If the dish iswarm, it should not be used for microwave cooking.Convection Cooking•Metal Pans are recommended for all types of bakedproducts, but especially where browning or crusting is important.• Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads andpies because they absorb heat and produce a crispercrust.• Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies, ormuffins because these pans reflect heat and helpproduce a light, tender crust.• Glass or glass-ceramic casserole or baking dishes arebest suited for egg and cheese recipes due to thecleanability of glass.Combination Cooking• Glass or glass-ceramic baking containers arerecommended. Be sure not to use items with metal trimas it may cause arcing (sparking) with oven wall oroven shelf, damaging the cookware, the shelf or theoven.• Heat-resistant plastic microwave cookware (safe to450°F) may be used, but is not recommended for foodsthat require crusting or all-around browning, becauseplastic is a poor conductor of heat.COOKWARE MICROWAVE CONVECTION COMBINATIONHeat-Resistant Glass, Ceramic GlassYes Yes YesCeramics, China Yes Yes Yes(Do not use chinawith gold or silver trim.)Metal Cookware No Yes NoNon Heat-Resistant Glass No No NoMicrowave-Safe Plastic Yes No Yes*Plastic Wrap, Wax Paper Yes No NoPaper Products Yes No NoStraw, Wicker, and Wood Yes No No* Use only microwave cookware that is safe to 450°F

10ENGLISHUNDERSTANDING YOUR MICROWAVE OVENTIPS FOR MICROWAVE COOKINGBROWNINGMeat and poultry with high fat content that are cookedfor 10 or 15 minutes or longer will brown lightly. Foodscooked a shorter time can be brushed with a browningagent, such as Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, orbarbecue sauce.COVERING A cover traps heat and steam and causes the food tocook more quickly. Use a lid or microwave-safe plasticwrap with one corner folded back to vent the excesssteam. Lids on glass casseroles can become hot during cooking. Handle carefully. Waxed paper will prevent the food from splattering in the oven and helpretain heat. When warming bread items, use waxedpaper, napkins, or paper towels. To absorb extra moisture, wrap sandwiches and fatty foods in papertowels.SPACINGArrange 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 infoods. Always stir from the outside toward the center of the dish. Food at the outside of the dish heats first.TURNINGLarge foods, such as roasts and whole poultry, shouldbe turned so that the top and bottom cook evenly. Alsoturn over chicken pieces and chops.ARRANGEMENTDo not stack food. Arrange in a single layer in the dishfor more even cooking. Because dense foods cookmore 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, youneed 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 aftercooking power shuts off. Outside of oven, you usuallyneed to cover food during standing time to retain heat.Remove most foods when they are slightly undercookedand they will finish cooking during standing time. Theinternal temperature of food will rise about 10°F duringstanding time.SHIELDING To prevent some portions of rectangular or squaredishes from overcooking, you may need to shield them with small strips of aluminum foil to block themicrowaves. 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 wallsto prevent arcing.PIERCING Pierce the shell, skin, or membrane of foods beforecooking to prevent them from bursting. Foods thatrequire piercing include yolks and whites of eggs, hotdogs, clams, oysters, and whole vegetables, such aspotatoes and squash.CLEANINGWipe the oven inside and outside with a soft cloth anda 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 difficultto remove if left for many days. Wipe splatters with awet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken orbacon.REMOVABLE PARTSThe metal tray, metal rack, glass turntable and turntableroller rest are removable. They should be hand-washedin warm (not hot) water with a mild detergent and a softcloth. Once they are clean, rinse well and dry with a softcloth. Never use cleaning powders, steel wool, or roughpads.• Removable parts may be cleaned at the sink. Becareful not to chip or scratch the edges as this maycause them to break during use.• The metal tray and glass turntable may also becleaned in a dishwasher.• The turntable roller rest should be cleaned regularly.SPECIAL CAREFor best performance and safety, the inner door paneland the oven front frame should be free of food orgrease buildup. Wipe often with a mild detergent; thenrinse and wipe dry. Never use cleaning powders orrough pads.After cleaning the control panel, touch STOP/CLEARto clear any entries that might have been enteredaccidentally while cleaning the panel.

16ENGLISHUSING YOUR CONVECTION OVENTIPS FOR CONVECTIONCOOKINGThis section gives you cooking instructions andprocedures for operating each convection function.Please read these instructions carefully. Convection cooking circulates hot air through the ovencavity with a fan. The constantly moving air surroundsthe food to heat the outer portion quickly, creating evenbrowning and sealed-in flavor by the constant motion ofhot air over the food surfaces. Your oven usesconvection cooking whenever you use the ConvectionButton. DO NOT USE THE OVEN WITHOUT THETURNTABLE IN PLACE.1. Always use the metal rack on the turntable whenconvection cooking.2. Do not cover turntable or metal rack with aluminumfoil. It interferes with the flow of air that cooks the food.3. Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils formany 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 forsome meat and fish cooking.5. Your oven comes equipped with metal tray which canbe used for cooking on convection mode orcombination mode.6. You do not need to use any special techniques toadapt your favorite oven recipes to convectioncooking; however, you may need to lower sometemperatures or reduce some cooking times from theconvectional oven cooking directions. See examplesin the charts in this section.7. When baking cakes, cookies, breads, rolls, or otherbaked foods, most recipes call for preheating. Preheatthe empty oven just as you do a regular oven. You canstart heavier dense foods such as meats, casseroles,and poultry without preheating.8. All heatproof cookware or metal utensils can be usedin convection cooking.9. As in conventional cooking, the distance of the foodfrom the heat source affects cooking results. Refer tothe charts in this Use and Care Guide.10. Use metal utensils only for convection cooking.Never use for microwave or combination cookingsince arcing and damage to the oven may occur.11. After preheating, if you do not open the door, theoven will automatically hold at the preheatedtemperature for 30 minutes.12. Lower oven temperature by 25°F from packagerecommended temperature.PRECAUTIONS•The oven cavity, door, turntable, rotating ring, metalracks, and cooking utensils will become very hot.USE THICK OVEN GLOVES when removing the food,cooking utensil, metal rack, and turntable from the ovenafter convection cooking.•Do not use lightweight plastic containers, plastic wraps,or paper products during any convection cycle.
ENGLISH17USING YOUR CONVECTION OVENCONVECTIONDuring convection cooking, a heating element is used toraise the temperature of the air inside the oven.Convection cooking temperature range from 225°F to450°F and 100°F may be programmed.It is best to preheat the oven when convection cooking.Lower oven temperature by 25°F from packagerecommended temperature.NOTES:•When the oven reaches the set preheat temperature,five tones will sound and the oven will automaticallyhold that temperature for 30 minutes.•The oven temperature drops very quickly when thedoor is opened; however, this should not prevent foodfrom being fully cooked during normal cooking time.NOTES:• The temperature range has 10 steps from 225°F to450°F including 100°F (dough rising).• Turn the dial to increase/decrease the temperature by25°F after touching the CONVECTION button. (Thedefault temperature is 350°F.)After preheating display scrolls “PREAHEAT end”with sound.

18ENGLISHUSING YOUR CONVECTION OVENCONVECTION COOKING GUIDE1. Always use the metal rack when convection baking.Place food directly on rack or place in metal tray andthen place tray on rack. (See page 9.)2. Aluminum pans conduct heat quickly. For mostconvection baking, light, shiny finishes give bestresults because they prevent overbrowning in thetime it takes to cook the center areas. Pans with dull(satin-finish) bottoms are recommended for cakepans and pie pans for best bottom browning.3. Dark or non-shiny finishes, glass, and pyroceramabsorb heat which may result in dry, crisp crusts.4. Preheating the oven is recommended when bakingfoods by convection.5. To prevent uneven heating and save energy, openthe oven door to check food as little as possible.FOOD Oven Temp. Time, Min.

ENGLISH21USING YOUR COMBINATION OVENTIPS FOR COMBINATION COOKINGThis section gives you instructions to operate eachcombination cooking function. Please read theseinstructions carefully. Sometimes combinationmicrowave-convection cooking is suggested to get thebest cooking results since it shortens the cooking timefor foods that normally need a long time to cook. Thiscooking process also leaves meats juicy on the insideand crispy on the outside. In combination cooking, theconvection heat and microwave energy alternateautomatically. Your oven has three preprogrammedsettings that make it easy to use combination cooking.HELPFUL HINTS FORCOMBINATION COOKING1. Meats may be roasted directly on the metal rack or ina shallow roasting pan placed on the rack. Whenusing the metal rack, please check your cookingguide for information on proper use.2. Less tender cuts of beef can be roasted andtenderized using oven cooking bags. 3. When baking, check for doneness after cooking timeis up. If not completely done, let stand in oven for afew minutes to complete cooking.PRECAUTIONS1. All cookware used for combination cooking must beBOTH microwave-safe and ovenproof.2. During combination baking, some baking cookwaremay cause arcing when it comes in contact with theoven walls or metal accessory racks. Arcing is adischarge of electricity that occurs when microwavescome in contact with metal.— If arcing occurs, place a heatproof dish betweenthe pan and the metal rack.— We recommend you use the metal tray appliedwith your oven. It has rubber feet that helpsprevent arcing.— If arcing occurs with other baking cookware, do notuse them for combination cooking.COMBINATION ROAST & BAKEOven MicrowaveTemperature PowerCombination Roast 375°F 30%Combination Bake 325°F 10%Example: To roast with combination cooking for45 minutes.Touch: Display Shows:Time of day.1.turn dial to settemperature orpress dial2.375f turn dial toset cooking time3.375f combi roast5.Press the dial.375f press start4.

24ENGLISHHEATING / REHEATING GUIDETo heat or reheat successfully in a microwave oven, it is important to follow several guidelines. Measure the amountof food in order to determine the time needed to reheat. Arrange the food in a circular pattern for best results. Roomtemperature food will heat faster than refrigerated food. Canned foods should be taken out of the can and placed in amicrowave-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(AT HIGH)Sliced meat Place sliced meat on microwavable plate.3 slices (1/4-inch thick) 1-2 minutes Cover with plastic wrap and vent.Note: Gravy or sauce helps to keep meat juicy.Chicken pieces1 breast 2-31/2minutes Place chicken pieces on microwavable plate.

The microwave ovenhas 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 nearthe oven while you are cooking.The microcomputer controlling your oven may temporarily become scrambled and fail to function as programmed when youplug 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 themicrowave 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 mechanicalswitch. The change in blower speed is from the change in line voltage caused by the magnetron being turned ON and OFF.AnswerFoodQuestion AnswerWhat is wrong when baked foods have ahard, dry, brown spot?Why do eggs sometimes pop?A hard, dry, brown spot indicates overcooking.

Shorten the cookingor reheating time.When baking, frying, or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due tosteam 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 samerecipe is used each time. The cooking time may need to be variedfor 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 toallow for expansion of the interior of the apple during cooking. As inconventional cooking methods, the interior of the apple expandsduring 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. Theamount of standing time depends upon the density of the foods.As in conventional cooking, the initial temperature of food affectstotal cooking time. You need more time to cook food taken out of arefrigerator than for food at room temperature.Answer
