9IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Popcorn: Use only popcorn in packages designed and
labeled for microwave use, or pop it in a microwave oven
corn popper. Follow popcorn manufacturers’ directions
and use a brand suitable for the wattage of your oven.
Do not continue to heat after popping has stopped.
Popcorn will scorch or burn. Do not leave oven
unattended..
CAUTION
When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, check
package weight before using the popcorn function. Set
the oven for the weight of the popcorn package. If these
instructions are not followed, popcorn may not pop
adequately or may ignite and cause fire.
Foods with nonporous skins: Potatoes, tomatoes, sweet
potatoes, apples, whole squash and sausages are
examples of foods with nonporous skins, These types of
foods must be pierced before cooking to prevent them
from exploding.
Baby food / Baby formula: Do not heat baby bottles or
food in microwave oven. The glass jar or the surface of
food may appear warm while the interior can burn the
infant’s mouth and esophagus.
Deep fat frying: Do not deep fat fry in oven. Oil can be
heated beyond ideal temperatures very quickly in a
microwave oven. Temperatures can climb high enough
for the cooking oils to reach their respective flash points
and burst into flames. 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 Instructions
The 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. When the oven is on a
circuit with other equipment, an increase in cooking
times may be required and fuses can be blown.
Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the oven is properly grounded.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Causes of Damage
NOTICES:
▯Metal e.g. a spoon in a glass must be kept at least
1" (2 cm) from the oven walls and the inside of the
door. Sparks could irreparably damage the glass on
the inside of the door.
▯Water in the hot oven interior: Never pour water into
the hot oven interior. Steam is produced. Damage to
the enamel can arise due to the temperature change.
▯Do not leave moist groceries in a closed oven for an
extended period of time. It can lead to corrosion inside
the oven.
▯Fruit juice can leave stains in the oven. Always remove
fruit juice immediately and wipe up first with a damp
and then a dry cloth.
▯Cooling with the appliance door open: only allow the
oven cavity to cool when it is closed. Even if the
appliance door is only open a little, front panels of
adjacent units could be damaged over time.
▯Highly soiled door seal: the appliance door will no
longer close properly during operation if the door seal
is highly soiled. Adjoining furniture fronts may be
damaged. Always keep the door seal clean.
▯Appliance door as a seat or storage surface: do not
stand, sit or hang on the appliance door. Do not place
any cookware or accessories on the appliance door.
▯Inserting accessories: depending on the appliance
type, accessories can scratch the door pane when
closing the appliance door. Always slide accessories
fully into the oven interior.
▯Do not hold or carry the appliance by the door handle.
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 environment
Unpack 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.

Getting to know the appliance
Parts
Oven Vents
The 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 Fan
The 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 Fan
The 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 light
The oven light turns off to save energy after one minute
with the door open. To turn the light back on close the
door and open it again.

Microwave
Microwave utensil guide
Suitable ovenware
▯Heat-resistant glass, glass-ceramic:
Utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid
measuring cups, casseroles and bowls without
metallic trim (e.g. Pyrex®, Anchor Hocking™, Corning
Ware®, etc.).
▯China:
Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters without
metallic trim.
▯Plastic films and wraps:
Plastic wrap (as a cover) - lay the plastic wrap loosely
over the dish and press it to the sides. Vent plastic
wrap by turning back one edge slightly to allow excess
steam to escape. The dish should be deep enough so
that the plastic wrap will not touch the food.
▯Microwave-safe plastics:
Use microwave-safe plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid
freezer containers and plastic bags for short cooking
times. Use these with care because the plastic may
soften from the heat of the food.
▯Paper products:
Paper towels, wax paper, parchment paper, paper
napkins and paper plates with no metallic trim or
design. Look for the manufacturers label for any
special instructions for use in the microwave oven.
Unsuitable ovenware
▯Metal utensils:
Metal shields the food from microwave energy and
produces uneven cooking. Also, avoid metal skewers,
thermometers or foil trays. Metal utensils can cause
arcing, which can damage your microwave oven.
▯Metal decoration:
Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters with metallic
trim.
13
▯Aluminum foil:
Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they
hinder cooking and may cause harmful arcing. Use
small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and wings.
Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) from
the side walls of the oven cavity and door of the
microwave.
▯Wood:
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split
or crack when you use them in the microwave oven.
Baskets made of wood will react in the same way.
▯Tightly covered utensils:
Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from
covered cookware. Pierce plastic pouches of
vegetables or other food items before cooking. Tightly
closed pouches may explode.
▯Brown paper:
Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb heat and
can burn.
▯Flawed or chipped cooking 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.
Ovenware test
Do not turn on the microwave unless there is food inside.
The following ovenware test is the only exception to this
rule.
Perform the following test if you are unsure whether your
ovenware is suitable for use in the microwave:
1.
Heat the empty ovenware at maximum power for ½ to
1 minute.
2.
Check the temperature occasionally during that time.
The ovenware should still be cold or warm to the touch.
The ovenware is unsuitable if it becomes hot or sparks
are generated.
Microwave power levels
You can select from 10 different microwave power levels.
If you do not set a power level, the microwave will
automatically operate at the highest power level 10.

Suggestions for best results
To help you achieve the best possible results from your
microwave oven, read the following suggestions below:
▯Storage temperature
Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take
longer to cook than the same foods would at room
temperature.
▯Size
Small 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 moisture
Very 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 items
Turn 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 placement
Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus
tips, toward the center of the turntable tray.
▯Food arrangement
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken
pieces or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts
toward the outside of the turntable tray.
▯Let food stand
After 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 paper
Sandwiches 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 VHF

15
Convection
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.
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.
9CAUTION
The 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 mode
The appliance must be turned off.

Tips for defrosting
9WARNING
HEALTH RISK
Liquid 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.

Cooking Charts

recipe directions.
Cooking eggs in your microwave
▯Never cook eggs in the shell and never warm hard–
cooked eggs in the shell; they can explode.
▯Always pierce yolk on whole eggs to keep them from
bursting.
▯Cook eggs just until set; they will become tough if
overcooked.
▯Cooking scrambled eggs is safe.
Cooking vegetables in your microwave
▯Vegetables should be washed just before cooking.
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.

Cooking seafood in your microwave
Place 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.
