Cooking with your new oven offers a wide variety of food preparation options: microwave cooking, convection cooking, and combination cooking.

Microwave cooking uses very short, high-frequency radio waves. The movement of the microwaves through the food generates heat and cooks most foods faster than regular methods while retaining their natural texture and moisture. Microwave cooking heats food directly, not the cookware or the interior of the oven.

Reheating is easy and defrosting is particularly convenient because less time is spent in food preparation.

Convection cooking constantly circulates heated air around the food, creating even browning and sealed in flavor by the constant motion of hot air over the food surfaces.

Combination cooking combines microwave energy with convection to cook with speed and accuracy, while browning and crisping to perfection.

You can use microwave cooking, convection cooking, or combination cooking to cook by time. Simply preset the length of cooking time desired and your oven turns off automatically.

The following guide shows at a glance the difference between microwave, convection, and combination cooking.

	MICROWAVE CONVECTION COMBINATION
COOKING METHOD	Microwave energy is distributed evenly throughout the oven for fast, thorough cooking of food.	Hot air circulates around food to produce browned exteriors and sealed in juices.	Microwave energy and convection heat combine to shorten the cooking time of regular ovens, while browning and sealing in juices.
HEAT SOURCE	Microwave energy. Circulating	heated air. Microwave energy and circulating heated air.
BENEFITS	• Fast, high efficiency cooking.• Oven and surroundings do not get hot.• Easy clean-up.	• Aids in browning and seals in flavor.• Cooks some foods faster than regular ovens.	• 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.

Meat and poultry with high fat content cooked for at least 10 to 15 minutes will brown lightly. Foods cooked a shorter time can be brushed with a browning agent, such as Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, or barbecue sauce.

COVERING

A cover will trap heat and steam and cause the food to cook more quickly. Use a lid or microwave-safe plastic wrap with one corner folded back to vent the excess steam. Lids on glass casseroles can become hot during cooking; always handle carefully. Waxed paper will prevent the food from splattering in the oven and help retain heat. When warming bread items, use waxed paper, napkins, or paper towels. To absorb extra moisture, wrap sandwiches and fatty foods in paper towels.

SPACING

Arrange 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 in foods. Always stir from the outside toward the center of the dish. Food at the outside of the dish heats first.

TURNING

Large foods, such as roasts and whole poultry, should be turned so that the top and bottom cook evenly. Also turn over chicken pieces and chops.

ARRANGEMENT

Do not stack food. Arrange in a single layer in the dish for more even cooking. Because dense foods cook more slowly, place thicker portions of meat, poultry, fish, and vegetables toward the outside of the dish.

TESTING FOR DONENESS

Foods cook quickly in a microwave oven; test frequently for doneness.

STANDING TIME

Food often needs to stand from 2 to 15 minutes after being removed from the oven. Usually, you need to cover food during standing time to retain heat. Remove most foods when they are slightly undercooked and they will finish cooking during standing time. The internal temperature of food will rise about 10^ F during standing time.

SHIELDING

To prevent some portions of rectangular or square dishes from overcooking, you may need to shield them with small strips of aluminum foil to block the microwaves. 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 walls to prevent arcing.

PIERCING

Pierce the shell, skin, or membrane of foods before cooking to prevent them from bursting. Foods that require piercing include yolks and whites of eggs, hot dogs, clams, oysters, and whole vegetables, such as potatoes and squash.

• Place the front surface of the door three inches or more from the countertop edge to avoid accidental tipping of the microwave oven during normal use.
• To program the oven, make sure you touch the center of each pad firmly since the areas between the pads will not activate the oven. A tone will sound each time a pad is touched correctly. Do not touch several pads at once.
• Do not strike the control panel with silverware, cookware, etc. Breakage may occur.
• Always use caution when taking cookware out of the oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the cooked food and may be hot. See the "Cookware Guide" earlier in this section for more information.
• Do not rinse cookware immediately after cooking. This may cause breakage. Also, always allow the turntable to cool before removing it from the oven.
• Never operate the oven when it is empty. Food or water should always be in the oven during operation to absorb the microwave energy.

• Do not use the oven to dry newspapers or clothes. They may catch fire.

• Use thermometers that have been approved for microwave oven cooking.

• The turntable must always be in place when you operate the oven.
• Do not use your microwave oven to cook eggs in the shell. Pressure can build up inside the shell, causing it to burst.
• There are several precautions to follow when microwaving popcorn:
  — Do not pop popcorn, except in a microwave-safe container or commercial packages designed for microwave ovens.
  — Never try to pop popcorn in a paper bag that is not microwave-approved.
  — Overcooking may result in smoke and fire.
  — Do not repop unpopped kernels.
  — Do not reuse popcorn bags.
  — Listen while corn pops. Stop oven when popping slows to 2-3 seconds between pops.
  — Do not leave microwave unattended while popping corn.
  — Follow directions on bag.

CLEANING

NOTE: Before cleaning the oven, unplug the power cord. If this is impossible, open the oven door to prevent an accidental oven start.

INTERIOR

Wipe the oven inside and outside with a soft cloth and a 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 difficult to remove if left for many days. Wipe splatters with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or bacon.

REMOVABLE PARTS

The turntable and rotating ring are removable. They should be hand-washed in warm (not hot) water with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Once they are clean, rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Never use cleaning powders, steel wool, or rough pads.

• The turntable may be cleaned at the sink. Be careful not to chip or scratch the edges as this may cause the turntable to break during use.
• The rotating ring should be cleaned regularly.

DOOR

For best performance and safety, the inner door panel and the oven front frame should be free of food or grease buildup. Wipe often with a mild detergent; then rinse and wipe dry. Never use cleaning powders or rough pads.

After cleaning the control panel, touch CLEAR to clear any entries that might have been entered accidentally while cleaning the panel. Also make sure that the turntable and rotating ring are in the right position.

USING YOUR CONVECTION OVEN

CONVECTION COOKING GUIDE

1. Always use the metal rack when convection baking. Place food directly on rack or place in metal tray and then place tray on rack. (See page 9.)

2. Aluminum pans conduct heat quickly. For most convection baking, light, shiny finishes give best results because they prevent overbrowning in the time it takes to cook the center areas. Pans with dull (satin-finish) bottoms are recommended for cake pans and pie pans for best bottom browning.

3. Dark or non-shiny finishes, and glass, absorb heat which may result in dry, crisp crusts.

4. Preheating the oven is recommended when baking foods by convection.
5. To prevent uneven heating and save energy, open the oven door to check food as little as possible.

NOTE: During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing, pot holders or other flammable materials contact the the cooking elements. These surface may be hot enough to burn. Allow sufficient time for cooling first.

NOTE: The circular rack is designed for grilling in the oven. Place the rack securely on a heat resistant plate and then onto the turntable. Position the food on the rack over the heat resistant plate. The heat resistant plate will make clean up easier.

CAUTION : If smoke is observed, turn off or disconnect the oven from the power supply and keep the oven door closed in order to stifle any flames.

Three defrost sequences are preset in the oven.

The auto defrost feature provides you with the best defrosting method for frozen foods. The cooking guide will show you which defrost sequence is recommended for the food you are defrosting.

For added convenience, the Auto Defrost includes a built-in beep mechanism that reminds you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange to get the best defrost results. Three different defrosting levels are provided.

OPERATING TIPS

- For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry from its original closed paper or plastic package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and juice close to the foods, which can cause the outer surface of the foods to cook.

- For best results, shape your ground meat into the form of a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting, scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and continue defrosting.

- Place foods in a shallow container or on a microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.

- Food should still be somewhat icy in the center when removed from the oven.

This feature will allow you to brown and crisp food quickly.

HEATING/REHEATING GUIDE

To heat or reheat successfully in the microwave, it is important to follow several guidelines. Measure the amount of food in order to determine the time needed to reheat. Arrange the food in a circular pattern for best results. Room temperature food will heat faster than refrigerated food. Canned foods should be taken out of the can and placed in a microwavable container. The food will be heated more evenly if covered with a microwavable lid or plastic wrap and vented. Remove cover carefully to prevent steam burns. Use the following chart as a guide for reheating cooked food.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Questions and Answers

Operation

Question	Answer
Why is the oven light not on during cooking?	There may be several reasons why the oven light is not on. Have you:• Set a cook time?• Touched START?
Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?	Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam.
Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates empty?	Yes. Never operate the oven empty or without the glass turntable.
Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door?	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.
Why does a tone sound when a pad on the control panel is touched?	The tone tells you that the setting has been entered.
Can my microwave oven be damaged if food is cooked for too long?	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 near the oven while you are cooking.
When the oven is plugged into wall outlet for the first time, it might not work properly. What is wrong?	The microcomputer controlling your oven may temporarily become scrambled and fail to function as programmed when you plug 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.
Why do I see light reflection around the outer case?	This light is from the oven light which is located between the oven cavity and the outer wall of the oven.
What are the various sounds I hear when the microwave oven is operating?	The clicking sound is caused by a mechanical switch turning the microwave 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 mechanical switch. The change in blower speed is from the change in line voltage caused by the magnetron being turned ON and OFF.

Food

Question	Answer
What is wrong when baked foods have a hard, dry, brown spot?	A hard, dry, brown spot indicates overcooking. Shorten the cooking or reheating time.
Why do eggs sometimes pop?	When baking, frying, or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to steam build-up inside the yolk membrane. To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk before cooking.CAUTION: Never microwave eggs in the shell.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Questions and Answers (continued)

Food

Question	Answer
Why are scrambled eggs sometimes a little dry after cooking?	Eggs will dry out when they are overcooked, even if the same recipe is used each time. The cooking time may need to be varied for 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.
Is it possible to pop popcorn in a microwave oven?	Yes, if using one of the two methods described below:(1) microwave-popping devices designed specifically for microwave cooking(2) prepackaged commercial microwave popcorn that is made for specific times and power output neededFollow exact directions given by each manufacturer for its popcorn popping product and do not leave the oven unattended while the corn is being popped. If corn fails to pop after the suggested time, discontinue cooking. Overcooking could result in an oven fire.CAUTION:• Never use a brown paper bag for popping corn or attempt to pop leftover kernels.• Do not pop prepackaged commercial microwave popcorn directly on the glass turntable. To avoid excessive heating of the glass turntable, place the popcorn bag on a plate.• Listen while corn pops. Stop oven when popping slows to 2-3 seconds between pops.• Do not leave microwave unattended while popping corn.• Follow directions on bag.
Why do baked apples sometimes burst during cooking?	The peel has not been removed from the top half of each apple to allow for expansion of the interior of the apple during cooking. As in conventional cooking methods, the interior of the apple expands during the cooking process.
Why do baked potatoes sometimes burn during cooking?	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.
Why is a standing time recommended after microwave cooking time is over?	Standing time allows foods to continue cooking evenly for a few minutes after the actual microwave oven cooking cycle. The amount of standing time depends upon the density of the foods.
Why is additional time required for cooking food stored in the refrigerator?	As in conventional cooking, the initial temperature of food affects total cooking time. You need more time to cook food taken out of a refrigerator than for food at room temperature.
