The heated oil may bubble and spatter causing possible damage to the oven and perhaps result in burns. Additionally, microwave–safe utensils may not be able to withstand the temperature of the hot oil, and could result in the utensil shattering, if it contains a slight imperfection, scratch or chip.Home Canning / Drying foods / Small quantities of foods: Do not use microwave oven for home canning or heating of any closed jar. Pressure will build up and the jar may explode. In addition, the oven cannot maintain the food at the proper canning temperature. Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume. Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture content can dry out, burn or catch on fire. Do not dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in your oven. Proper cooking depends on time set and weight of food. If you use a smaller portion than recommended and cook at the time for the recommended portion, fire could result.Browning dishes:. Microwave browning dishes or grills are designed for microwave cooking only. Preheating times vary depending on the size of the browning dish and food being cooked. Always follow instructions provided by the browning dish or grill manufacturer. Do not preheat browning dishes more than 6 minutes. Oven roasting bags: If an oven bag is used for microwave cooking, prepare according to package directions. Do not use wire twist–ties to close bags, instead use nylon ties, cotton string or a strip cut from the open end of the bag. Make six ½” (12,7 mm) slits by closure. Place oven cooking bag in a dish slightly larger than the food being cooked. Grounding InstructionsThe models stated on the front cover are either dual-rated, designed to be connected to either 208/240V AC, 60 Hz, 4-wire, single-phase power supply, or rated at 120V AC, 60 Hz and use a NEMA 5-20 plug to connect to a dedicated 120 V microwave circuit.This appliance must be grounded. Grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing a safe pathway for electric current in the event of a short circuit. If this oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. See INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.Do not use an extension cord. If the product power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install a three–slot receptacle. This oven should be plugged into a separate 60 Hertz circuit with the electrical rating as shown in specifications table.

The door handle cannot carry the weight of the device and could break off, or the hinges can be damaged.▯Operating the microwave without food in the oven cavity may lead to overloading. Never run the microwave unless there is food in the oven cavity. An exception to this rule is a short ovenware test (see the section "Microwave, suitable ovenware"), or an AutoChef mode that needs pre-heating.▯Always set the microwave power as recommended for the food. High power settings can overheat foods very quickly. Always place the popcorn bag on a glass plate. The turntable may jump if overloaded.Protecting the environmentUnpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging in line with environmental requirements.Tips for saving energy▯Open the appliance door as little as possible while cooking, baking or roasting.▯Use dark, black-painted or enameled baking forms. These absorb the heat particularly well.▯It is best to bake several cakes in succession. The oven is still warm. This shortens the baking time for the second cake. You can also slide in two loaf tins next to each other.▯In the hot air mode, you can bake simultaneously on several levels.▯For longer cooking times, you can switch off the oven 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time and you can use the residual heat to finish cooking.
9Getting to know the appliancePartsOven VentsThe oven vents are located around the sides of the oven cavity. Warm air may be released from the vents before, during and after cooking. It is normal to see steam escaping from the vents, and condensation may collect in this area. This area may be warm when the oven is in use. Do not block the vents, since they are important for air circulation.Cooling FanThe cooling fan runs during all cooking modes. The fan can be heard when it is running, and warm air may be felt as it is released from the oven vents. The fan may also run after the oven is off.Convection FanThe convection fan operates during all convection modes. When the oven is operating in a convection mode, the fan turns off automatically when the door is opened.Oven lightThe oven light turns off to save energy after one minute with the door open.

The appliance turns off and the clock is displayed.Suggestions for best resultsTo help you achieve the best possible results from your microwave oven, read the following suggestions below:▯Storage temperatureFoods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same foods would at room temperature.▯SizeSmall pieces of food cook faster than large ones. Pieces similar in size and shape will cook more evenly when cooked together. For more even results, reduce the power levels when cooking large pieces of food.▯Natural moistureVery moist foods cook more evenly because microwave energy heats water molecules very efficiently.▯Stirring Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetable from the outside to the center to distribute the heat more evenly. This will allow the food to cook faster. Constant stirring is not necessary.▯Turn over itemsTurn over foods such as pork chops, roasts or whole cauliflower halfway through the cook time. This will help to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.▯Food placementPlace delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the turntable tray.▯Food arrangementArrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable tray.▯Let food standAfter removing the food from the microwave, cover the food with foil or a casserole lid and let it stand to finish cooking. This will help the food finish cooking in the center and avoids overcooking the out edges, The length of stand time depends on the density and surface area of the food items.▯Wrapping in paper towels or wax paperSandwiches and many other food types containing pre-baked bread should be wrapped prior to placing in the microwave to help prevent the food items fro drying out while heating.VWDUWHQWHU PLQ VHFVWDUWHQWHU PLQ VHF
15ConvectionConvection 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.You can set a temperature range from 200 to 450° F (90 to 230°C).Notes▯Use the AutoChef mode for cooking with microwave and conventional heat combined. You can not combine these two modes manually.▯For best cooking results always use the wire rack with Convection mode.9CAUTIONThe oven door and exterior and the wire rack will become hot during Convection. Always use oven mits.Cookware tips for Convection▯Metal Pans:Recommended for all types of baked products, especially where browning is important.Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and pies because they absorb heat and produce crisper crust.Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies or muffins because they reflect heat and help produce a light tender crust.▯Glass or glass-ceramic casseroles or baking dishes:Best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to the cleanability of glass.Setting Convection modeThe appliance must be turned off.1.Touch the Convection key.The start/enter indicator and the default temperature 325°F (162°C) are blinking on the display. The time of day will be permanently displayed during convection cooking.2.Change the temperature using the number keys and touch Start/Enter.The appliance starts preheating.The set temperature is reached once the preheat bar has filled up completely and a beep sounds.To change the temperature during operation, type in the new temperature using the number keys and confirm with Start/Enter.Opening appliance door during operationOpening the appliance door during operation will interrupt the current mode.

18Tips for defrosting9WARNINGHEALTH RISKLiquid will be produced when defrosting meat or poultry. Drain off this liquid when turning meat and poultry and under no circumstances use it for other purposes or allow it to come into contact with other foods.▯Always enter the weight in lbs when using the defrost by weight feature (0.1 to 6.0 lbs).▯Use the defrost mode for raw food items only.▯Defrosting gives best results when food to be thawed is a minimum of 0° F (taken directly from a freezer). If the food has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a temperature of 5° F or below, always program a lower food weight or lower cook time to prevent cooking the food.▯If the frozen food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20 minutes, enter a reduced cook time or weight.▯The shape of the package will alter the defrosting time. Shallow rectangular food packets defrost more quickly than a deep frozen block of food.▯Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated frozen pieces of food defrost better.▯Shield warm areas of food with small pieces of aluminum foil, if they start to heat up. Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield food items like chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails.Do not allow aluminum foil to touch the oven cavity when defrosting.Frozen FoodsUse the Frozen Foods feature to prepare frozen convenience foods, like chicken nuggets, french fries, fish filets, using bottom heat and Convection.Place the food you want to cook directly on the metal tray turntable.

Rarely is extra water needed. If dense vegetables such as potatoes or carrots are being cooked, add about ¼ cup of water.▯Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook faster than larger vegetables.▯Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the turntable before cooking. The will cook more evenly if turned over halfway through cooking.▯Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli with the stem ends pointing towards the edge of the dish and the tips toward the center.▯When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap.▯Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skin pricked in several locations before cooking to prevent them from bursting.▯For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway through the cook time.▯Most of the time, the denser the food the longer the required standing time. For example, a baked potato should stand for 5 minutes before serving, while a dish of peas may be served immediately.Num-ber Display Settings1 TEMP MODE Temperature mode °F/°CF* (Fahrenheit)C (Celsius)2 BRIGHTNESS HI *MEDLO3 VOLUME HIMEDLO4 BEEP (button) OnOff5CLOCK OnOff6 LANGUAGE ENGLISHFRENCH* default setting
24Cooking seafood in your microwavePlace fish on a microwave–safe roasting rack in a microwave–safe dish. Be sure to always cook fish until it flakes easily with a fork. Use a tight cover to steam fish; a lighter cover of wax paper or paper towel provides less steaming. And be sure not to overcook fish; check it for doneness at a minimum cooking time before cooking longer.Cleaning and Maintenance9WARNINGBe sure the entire appliance (including the grease filters and light bulbs) has cooled and grease has solidified before attempting to clean any part of the appliance.9WARNINGMake sure the appliance and lights are cool and power to the appliance has been turned off before replacing the light bulb(s). Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or burns.The lenses (if equipped) must be in place when using the appliance.The lenses (if equipped) serve to protect the light bulb from breaking.The lenses (if equipped) are made of glass. Handle carefully to avoid breaking. Broken glass can cause an injury.9WARNINGLight socket is live when door is open if main power supply is not turned off.Cleaning Guide▯For best performance and for safety reasons, keep the oven clean inside and outside. Take special care to keep the inner door panel and oven front frame free of food and grease build–up.▯Never use abrasive scouring powder or pads on the microwave. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out with a soft cloth and and warm (not hot) mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe completely dry.▯Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking greasy foods like chicken or bacon.▯Clean your microwave oven weekly or more often, if needed.▯Never operate the microwave oven without food in the oven cavity, unless pre-heating with an Auto Chef mode; this can damage the magnetron tube or ceramic tray.
