Available Cooking Options

Microwave Cooking

IMPORTANT: The tray and tray support must be used during all cooking.

Your oven uses microwave energy to cook by a set time or weight, or automatically by sensor. Sensor microwave works by detecting the increasing humidity released during cooking. The oven automatically adjusts the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.

Cooking Method

Microwave energy is distributed evenly throughout the oven for thorough, fast cooking of food.

Heat Source

Microwave energy.

Heat Conduction

Heat produced within food by instant energy penetration.

Benefits

Fast, high efficiency cooking. Oven and surroundings do not get hot. Easy clean-up.

Do not use the racks when microwave cooking.

Convection Baking and Convection Roasting

IMPORTANT: The tray and tray support must be used during all cooking.

During convection cooking, a heating element raises the air temperature inside the oven. You can set Convection Bake from 170F to 425F, and Convection Roast from 170F to 375F. A fan gently circulates the heated air around the food and produces golden brown exteriors and rich moist interiors.

Because the heated air is kept constantly moving, not permitting a layer of cooler air to develop around the food; some foods cook faster than in regular oven cooking.

Always use the racks when convection cooking.

Cooking Method

Hot air circulates around food to produce browned exteriors and seal in juices.

Heat Source

Circulating heated air.

Heat Conduction

Heat conducted from outside of food to inside.

Benefits

Aids in browning and seals in flavor. Cooks some foods faster than regular ovens.

Convection Roast Cooking

IMPORTANT: The tray and tray support must be used during all cooking.

Your oven also offers the option of combination cooking, using microwave energy along with convection cooking. You cook with speed and accuracy, while browning and crisping to perfection.

Cooking Method

Microwave energy and convection heat combine to cook foods in up to one-half the time of regular ovens, while browning and sealing in juices.

Heat Source

Microwave energy and circulating heated air.

Heat Conduction

Food heats from instant energy from penetration and heat conducted from outside of food.

Benefits

Shortened cooking time from microwave energy, plus browning and crisping from convection heat.

Always use the provided racks when combination cooking. Do not use any other metal while cooking.

Broiling Cooking

IMPORTANT: The tray and tray support must be used during all cooking.

Broil and uses the upper heater elements to broil food similar to a conventional oven.

Add 30 Sec

Changing the Power Level

The power level may be entered or changed before entering the time for Cook Time.

1. Press COOK TIME.
2. Enter cooking time.
3. Press POWER LEVEL to select power level.
4. Press START.

Variable power levels add flexibility to microwave cooking. The power levels on the microwave oven can be compared to the surface units on a range. Each power level gives you microwave energy a certain percent of the time. Power level 7 is microwave energy 70% of the time. Power level 3 is energy 30% of the time. Most cooking will be done on HI which gives you 100% power. HI power level will cook faster but food may need more frequent stirring, rotating or turning over. A lower setting will cook more evenly and need less stirring or rotating of the food. Some foods may have better flavor, texture or appearance if one of the lower settings is used. Use a lower power level when cooking foods that have a tendency to boil over, such as scalloped potatoes.

Power Level

Rest periods (when the microwave energy cycles off) give time for the food to “equalize” or transfer heat to the inside of the food. An example of this is shown with power level 3—the defrost cycle. If microwave energy did not cycle off, the outside of the food would cook before the inside was defrosted.

Here are some examples of uses for various power levels:

HI: Fish, bacon, vegetables, boiling liquids.

Med-High 7: Gentle cooking of meat and poultry; baking casseroles and reheating.

Medium 5: Slow cooking and tenderizing for stews and less tender cuts of meat.

Low 2 or 3: Defrosting; simmering; delicate sauces.

Warm 1: Keeping food warm; softening butter.

Microwave Cooking Features

Humidity Sensor

The Sensor Features detect the increasing humidity released during cooking. The oven automatically adjusts the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.

Do not use the Sensor Features twice in succession on the same food portion—it may result in severely overcooked or burnt food. If food is undercooked after the countdown, use Time Cook for additional cooking time.

■ The proper containers and covers are essential for best sensor cooking.
■ Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Never use tight sealing plastic containers—they can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.
■ Be sure the outside of the cooking containers and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.

Convection Features

IMPORTANT: For all convection features, Put the food into the oven after the preheat period is complete. There will be a beep and the display will show the set temperature.

Convection Bake cooking uses a heating element to raise the temperature of the air inside the oven. Any oven temperature from 170^irc F to 425^irc F may be set. A fan gently circulates this heated air throughout the oven, over and around the food, producing golden brown exteriors and rich, moist interiors.

Because the heated air is kept constantly moving, not permitting a layer of cooler air to develop around the food, some foods cook faster than in regular oven cooking.

See the Cookware Tips section for information on suggested cookware.

For Best Results...

The rack is required for good air circulation and even browning.

Always use the provided racks when convection cooking. We recommend the tall rack for cookies and the short rack for cakes, pizza, biscuits and pies. Do not use both racks at once.

Cookware Tips

Convection Bake Cooking or Warming

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 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.

Convection Roast 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^irc F) may be used, but it is not recommended for foods requiring crusting or all-around browning, because the plastic is a poor conductor of heat.

Microwave Terms

Term	Definition
Arcing	Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:■ the metal shelf being installed incorrectly and touching the microwave walls.■ metal or foil touching the side of the oven.■ foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).■ metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes.■ recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.■ the turntable ring support being installed incorrectly.
Covering	Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce cooking time. Venting plastic wrap or covering with wax paper allows excess steam to escape.
Shielding	In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to prevent over-browning. When microwaving, you use small strips of foil to shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs on poultry, which would cook before larger parts.
Standing Time	When you cook with regular ovens, foods such as roasts or cakes are allowed to stand to finish cooking or to set. Standing time is especially important in microwave cooking. Note that a microwaved cake is not placed on a cooling rack.
Venting	After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner so excess steam can escape.

Care and Cleaning

Helpful Hints

An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking soda and water keeps the inside fresh.

Be certain the oven control is turned off before cleaning any part of this oven.

How to clean the Inside

Walls, Floor, Inside Window, Metal and Plastic Parts on the Door

Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel, others may require a damp cloth. Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp utensils on oven walls.

To clean the surface of the door and the surface of the oven that come together upon closing, use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents using a sponge or soft cloth. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry.

Never use a commercial oven cleaner on any part of your microwave.

Removable Turntable and Turntable Support

To prevent breakage, do not place the turntable into water just after cooking. Wash it carefully in warm, sudsy water or in the dishwasher. The turntable and support can be broken if dropped. Remember, do not operate the oven without the turntable and support in place.

Care and Cleaning

How to clean the Outside

Do not use cleaners containing ammonia or alcohol on the microwave oven. Ammonia or alcohol can damage the appearance of the microwave.

Case

Clean the outside of the microwave with a sudsy cloth. Rinse with a damp cloth and then dry. Wipe the window clean with a damp cloth.

Control Panel and Door

Wipe with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water, abrasives or sharp objects on the panel—they can damage it. Some paper towels can also scratch the control panel.

Door Surface

It is important to keep the area clean where the door seals against the microwave. Use only mild, non-abrasive detergents applied with a clean sponge or soft cloth. Rinse well.

Power Cord

If the cord becomes soiled, unplug and wash with a damp cloth. For stubborn spots, sudsy water may be used, but be certain to rinse with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly before plugging cord into outlet.

Stainless Steel

Do not use a steel-wool pad; it will scratch the surface.

To clean stainless steel surfaces, use a hot, damp cloth with a mild detergent suitable for stainless steel surfaces. Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to remove soap. Dry with a dry, clean cloth.

If food soil remains, try a general kitchen cleaner, such as Fantastik ^® , Simple Green ^® or Formula 409 ^® .

For hard-to-clean soil, use a standard stainless-steel cleaner, such as Bon-Ami® or Cameo®.

Apply cleaner with a damp sponge. Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to remove cleaner. Dry with a dry, clean cloth. Always scrub lightly in the direction of the grain.

After cleaning, use a stainless-steel polish, such as Stainless Steel Magic®, Revere Copper and Stainless Steel Cleaner® or Wenol All Purpose Metal Polish®. Follow the product instructions for cleaning the stainless-steel surface.
