11SENSOR OPERATINGINSTRUCTIONSSensor Cook allows you to cookmost of your favorite foods withoutselecting cooking times and powerlevels. The display will indicateSENSING during the initial sensingperiod. The oven automaticallydetermines required cooking time foreach food item. When the internalsensor detects a certain amount ofhumidity coming from the food, it willtell the oven how much longer toheat. The display will show theremaining heating time. For bestresults for cooking by Sensor, followthese recommendations.1. Food cooked with the sensorsystem should be at normalstorage temperature.2. Glass Tray (TURNTABLE) andoutside of container should bedry to assure best cookingresults.3. Foods should always be coveredloosely with microwavable plasticwrap, waxed paper, or a lid.4. Do not open the door or touch theSTOP/CLEAR pad during thesensing time. When sensing timeis over, the oven beeps twice andthe remaining cooking time willappear in the display window. Atthis time you can open the doorto stir, turn, or rearrange the food.SENSOR COOKINGGUIDEAppropriate containers and cover-ings help assure good Sensor cook-ing results.1. Always use microwavable con-tainers and cover them with lidsor vented plastic wrap.2. Never use tight-sealing plasticcovers. They can prevent steamfrom escaping and cause food toovercook.3. Match the amount to the size ofthe container. Fill containers atleast half full for best results.4. Be sure the outside of thecooking container and the insideof the microwave oven are drybefore placing food in the oven.Beads of moisture turning intosteam can mislead the sensor.ADDING ORSUBTRACTING COOK TIMEIf the SENSOR function is too long ortoo short, you can increase ordecrease the cook time. You canonly increase or decrease cook timewhen sensing is displayed.Example: If you want to adjust theSensor Cook (rice) cooking timefor longer time.1. Touch SENSORCOOK pad.2.

Aluminum pans conduct heat quickly. For most convection baking, light, shiny finishes give best results because theyprevent overbrowning in the time it takes to cook the center areas. Pans with dull (satin-finish) bottoms arerecommended 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 excluding meats, casseroles and poultry. 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 times in the chart above are only guidelines for your reference.

17TIPS FOR COMBINATIONCOOKINGThis section gives you instructionsto operate each combinationcooking function. Please read theseinstructions carefully. Sometimescombination microwave-convectioncooking is suggested to get the bestcooking results since it shortens thecooking time for foods that normallyneed a long time to cook. Thiscooking process also leaves meatsjuicy on the inside and crispy on theoutside. In combination cooking, theconvection heat and microwaveenergy alternate automatically. Youroven has three preprogrammedsettings that make it easy to usecombination cooking.HELPFUL HINTS FORCOMBINATIONCOOKING1. Meats may be roasted directly onthe metal rack. When using themetal rack, please check yourcooking guide for information onproper use.2. Less tender cuts of beef can beroasted and tenderized using ovencooking bags. 3. When baking, check for donenessafter cooking time is up. If notcompletely done, let stand in ovenfor a few minutes to completecooking.PRECAUTIONS1. All cookware used for combinationcooking must be both microwave-safe and ovenproof.2. During combination baking, somebaking cookware may causearcing when it comes in contactwith the oven walls or metalaccessory racks. Arcing is adischarge of electricity that occurswhen microwaves come in contactwith metal.3. If arcing occurs, place a heatproofdish between the pan and themetal rack.4. If arcing occurs with other bakingcookware, do not use them forcombination cooking.COMBINATIONCOOKING Example: To combination roastcook for 45 minutes at the 400°F.1. Touch STOP/CLEAR pad.2.

OPERATION (cont’d)20BROIL COOKINGINTRODUCTIONThis oven cooks the outside of foodsmuch like conventional radiant heat,while also penetrating the surface sothe inside cooks simultanecusly.Broiling is cooking under direct heat.This oven can broil or grill meat, fish,poultry, and vegetables, or toastbread. Your oven uses broil cookingwhenever you use the BroilCommand Pads.• Foods that are suitable for broilingshould be tender, moderately leanand less than 2 inches thick. Fishsteaks, chicken breasts andhamburgers are ideal for broiling.• Always use the Broiling Rack.• For even browning, turn the foodover halfway through broiling.• Do not leave the door open for longperieds of time when using the broilelement. This will cause the oventemperature to drop and couldaffect cooking performance.BROILING RACKUse the broiling rack for broil andauto broil cooking. Do not use inmicrowave - only mode.For best results, place food on thebroiling rack.BROIL COOKINGExample: To set Broil Cooking for20 minutes.1. Touch STOP/CLEAR pad.2. Touch BROILpad.3. Touch numbers forcooking time. Youcan enter a time upto 99 minutes 99seconds.4. Touch ENTER/START pad.NOTE:• If you open the door or touch STOP/CLEAR during broiling, broiling willstop.• To resume broiling, close the doorand touch ENTER/START.• When broiling time ends, thedisplay will show “END” and fourtones will sound.• After cooking, the display will returnto the time of day, when you openthe door.AUTO BROIL COOKING(Hamburger, Beef Steak, ChickenPieces, Fish Steak)Auto Broil lets you cook with broilheat, without needing to set a cookingtime.

Measure the amount offood 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.

RECOMMENDED UTENSILS25MICROWAVE UTENSIL GUIDEUSEOVENPROOF GLASS(treated for high intensity heat):Utility dishes, loaf dishes, pieplates, cake plates, liquidmeasuring cups, casseroles andbowls without metallic trim.CHINA:Bowls, cups, serving plates andplatters without metallic trim.PLASTIC:Plastic wrap (as a cover)-- laythe plastic wrap loosely over thedish and press it to the sides.Vent plastic wrap by turning backone edge slightly to allow excesssteam to escape. The dishshould be deep enough so thatthe plastic wrap will not touch thefood.As the food heats it may melt theplastic wrap wherever the wraptouches the food. Use plastic dishes, cups,semirigid freezer containers andplastic bags only for shortcooking time. Use these withcare because the plastic maysoften from the heat of thefood.PAPER:Paper towels, waxed paper,paper napkins, and paper plateswith no metallic trim or design.Look for the manufacturer's labelfor use in the microwave oven.DO NOT USEMETAL UTENSILS:Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces unevencooking. Also avoid metal skewers, thermometers or foil trays. Metalutensils can cause arcing, which can damage your microwave oven.METAL DECORATION:Metal-trimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc. Themetal trim interferes with normal cooking and may damage the oven.ALUMINUM FOIL:Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking andmay cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legsand wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the side wallsand door of the oven.WOOD:Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when youuse them in the microwave oven. Baskets react in the same way.TIGHTLY COVERED UTENSILS:Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered utensils.Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before cooking.Tightly closed pouches could explode.BROWN PAPER:Avoid using brown paper bags.They absorb too much heat and could burn.FLAWED OR CHIPPED UTENSILS:Any utensil that is cracked, flawed, or chipped may break in the oven.METAL TWIST TIES:Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags.They become hot and could cause a fire.

It maystay on up to an hour to cool the oven.BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICECheck the following list to be sure a service call is necessary. Reviewing additional information on items to check mayprevent an unneeded service call.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS27To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe personal injury or death, do not remove outer case at any time,only an authorized servicer should remove outer case.QUESTIONCan I use a rack in my microwaveoven so that I may reheat or cook intwo rack positions at a time? Can I use either metal or aluminumpans in my microwave oven? Sometimes the door of my microwaveoven appears wavy.Is this normal?What are the humming noises I hearwhen my microwave oven isoperating?Why does the dish become hot when Imicrowave food in it? What does standing time mean? Can I pop popcorn in my microwaveoven? How do I get the best results? Why does steam come out of the airexhaust vent?ANSWEROnly use the rack that is supplied with your microwave oven.Use of any other rack can result in poor cooking performance and/or arcingand may damage your oven.Usable metal includes aluminum foil for shielding (use small, flat pieces).Never allow metal to touch walls or door.This appearance is normal and does not affect the operation of your oven.This is the sound of the transformer when the magnetron tube cycles on and off.As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to the dish.Use hot pads to remove food after cooking.Dish may not be microwave safe.Standing time means that food should be taken out of the oven and coveredfor additional time after cooking. This process allows the cooking to finish,saves energy, and frees the oven for other purposes.Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufacturer’s guidelines oruse the preprogrammed Popcorn pad.Do not use regular paper bags. Use the listening test by stopping the oven assoon as the popping slows to a pop every one or two seconds. Do not try torepop unpopped kernels. You can also use special microwave poppers.
