1. Touch the Power keypad, and then follow the on-screen
directions. NOTE: The oven will generate a random sequence of shapes that must be touched in the order prompted on the screen. Oven Temperature Control IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure the oven temperature. Elements will cycle on and off as needed to maintain a consistent temperature but may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door will affect cycling of the elements and impact the temperature. The oven provides accurate temperatures and has been thoroughly tested at the factory. However, it may cook faster or slower than your previous oven, causing baking or browning differences. If necessary, the temperature calibration can be adjusted in either Fahrenheit or Celsius. On double ovens, the upper oven and the lower oven can each be calibrated independently. A minus sign means the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount. The absence of a minus sign means the oven will be warmer by the displayed amount. Use the following chart as a guide. NOTE: The oven display will continue to show the original set temperature and will not reflect the calibration offset. For example, if set to 350° (177°C) and calibrated to -20, the display will continue to show 350° (177°C).

Once the setup process has been completed for the Wi-Fi, you will have access to features that will give you new freedom in cooking. Your available features may vary depending on firmware updates. NOTE: Wi-Fi connectivity may be interrupted or lost during a microwave cooking function. The Wi-Fi will reconnect once the microwave cooking function has ended. Oven Use Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few times or when it is heavily soiled. During oven use, the heating elements will not remain on but will cycle on and off throughout oven operation. IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well- ventilated room. If the oven door is opened during a cooking mode and left open for approximately 60 seconds, the cooling fan will switch to a higher speed. You may experience higher noise during this time. When the oven door is closed, the fan will switch back to its lower speed after approximately 60 seconds. Aluminum Foil IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner. ■ For best cooking results, do not cover entire rack with foil because air must be able to move freely. ■ To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is at least 1/2" (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at the edges. Position Racks and Bakeware IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom. Racks ■ Position racks before turning on the oven. ■ Do not position racks with bakeware on them. ■ Make sure racks are level. To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and lift out. Use the following illustration and charts as guides. Rack and Bakeware Positions Rack Positions – Upper and Lower Oven Broiling

Do not clean the roll-out extension rack in a dishwasher. It may remove the rack’s lubricant and affect its ability to slide. See the “General Cleaning” section from Owner's Manual for more information. Bakeware The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations and use the bakeware size recommended in the recipe. Use the following chart as a guide.
BAKEWARE/RESULTS RECOMMENDATIONS
Light-colored aluminum ■ Light golden crusts ■ Even browning ■ Use temperature and time recommended in recipe. Dark aluminum and other bakeware with dark, dull and/or nonstick finish ■ Brown, crisp crusts ■ May need to reduce baking temperatures slightly. ■ Use suggested baking time. ■ For pies, breads, and casseroles, use temperature recommended in recipe. ■ Place rack in center of oven. Insulated cookie sheets or baking pans ■ Little or no bottom browning ■ Follow rack recommendations in the “Position Racks and Bakeware” section. ■ May need to increase baking time. Stainless steel ■ Light, golden crusts ■ Uneven browning ■ May need to increase baking time. Stoneware/Baking stone ■ Crisp crusts ■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Ovenproof glassware or ceramic ■ Brown, crisp crusts ■ May need to reduce baking temperatures slightly. Oven Vents A. Control panel B. Oven vent C. Upper oven D. Oven vent E. Lower oven F. Bottom vent The oven vents should not be blocked or covered since they allow the inlet of fresh air into the cooling system and allows the venting of heated air. Blocking or covering vents will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking, cleaning, and cooling results. Preheating and Oven Temperature Preheating When beginning a Bake or Convect Bake cycle, the oven begins preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately 12 to 18 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature will go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat until the tone sounds. NOTE: If the cook timer is set and the oven door is opened during preheating, the timer will automatically start. Oven Temperature While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed to maintain a consistent temperature. They may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.10 Baking and Roasting IMPORTANT: The convection fan and convection element may operate during the Bake function to enhance performance and heat distribution. The oven will take approximately 12 to 18 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all oven racks inside the oven cavity. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the temperature inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. Factors that impact preheat times include room temperature, oven temperature, and the number of racks. Unused oven racks can be removed prior to preheating your oven to help reduce preheat time. The actual oven temperature will go above the set temperature to offset the heat lost when the oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that the oven will begin at the proper temperature when you place food in the oven. Insert food when the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat until the tone sounds. During baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature. Depending on the model, if the oven door is opened during baking or roasting, the heating elements (bake and broil) will turn off approximately 30 seconds after the door is opened. They will turn on again approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed. Broiling Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. The element cycles on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature. NOTE: No preheating is required for the Broiling function. IMPORTANT: Close the door to ensure proper broiling temperature. If the oven door is opened during broiling, the broil element will turn off in approximately 30 seconds. When the oven door is closed, the element will come back on approximately 30 seconds later. ■ For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke. ■ For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom of the broiler pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning. ■ Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to avoid curling. ■ Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned. ■ After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult. Convection In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air distributes heat more evenly. This movement of hot air helps maintain a consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more evenly, while sealing in moisture. Most foods, using convect baking mode, can be cooked by lowering cooking temperatures 25°F (14°C). The cooking time can be shortened significantly when using Convect Roast, especially for large turkeys and roasts. ■ It is important not to cover foods with lids or aluminum foil so that surface areas remain exposed to the circulating air, allowing browning and crisping. ■ Keep heat loss to a minimum by opening the oven door only when necessary. It is recommended to use the oven light to monitor progress. ■ Choose cookie sheets without sides and roasting pans with lower sides to allow air to move freely around the food. ■ Test baked goods for doneness a few minutes before the minimum cooking time using a method such as a toothpick. ■ Use a meat thermometer or the temperature probe to determine the doneness of meats and poultry. Check the temperature of pork and poultry in 2 or 3 places. Convect Bake Convection Bake uses convection element and fan. ■ Use the convection grid. Place on turntable. ■ Use oven mitts as the door and grids will become hot. To Use Convect Bake:
1. Touch POWER or MICROWAVE (on combination oven
2. From the Cooking mode menu, select Convect Bake.
3. Using the tumbler, select the microwave oven temperature,
and then touch START.
4. (Optional) When a Microwave Timer is set, the WHEN DONE
option will appear. This option allows you to select the microwave oven behavior at the end of the current cooking cycle. You can select between Keep Warm, Hold Temp, and MW Off.

Convection Broil During convection broiling, the broil element will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature, while the fan circulates the hot air. The temperature is preset at 550°F (288°C), but can be changed to a different temperature. Cooking times will vary depending on the rack position and temperature, and may need to be adjusted. If the oven door is opened during convection broiling, the fan turns off immediately and turns on as soon as the door is closed. Broil elements will turn off approximately 30 seconds after the door is opened. They will turn on again approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed. NOTE: It is normal for the convection fan to run during non- convection cycles as well as during preheat. To Convection Broil: For ideal performance allow the oven to preheat for 5 minutes (no preheat tone will sound). Position food on the unheated grid on the broiler pan, and then place it in the center of the oven rack with the longest side parallel to the door. Broil & Grill The Grill function uses the broil element and microwaves to grill your food. ■ Microwave oven cavity and door will become very hot during the Grill cycle. Use oven mitts. ■ The grilling grid and convection grid will become very hot. Use oven mitts to grasp and remove the grid from the microwave oven. ■ For large pieces like chicken, use the crisper pan beneath the convection grid or grilling grid to catch drippings. ■ For best results, apply light amount of cooking oil to grilling grid or convection grid. ■ When the broil element is in use, the cooling fan turns on and stays on for up to 10 minutes after the cycle is over.

Proofing Bread Proofing bread prepares dough for baking by activating the yeast. Proofing twice is recommended unless the recipe directs otherwise. To Proof: For best performance, ensure your oven cavity temperature is below 120°F (49°C) before placing dough in oven cavity. Before first proofing, place dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover loosely with plastic wrap coated with shortening or cooking spray. Place on a rack in rack position 2. See “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” for diagram. Close door.
Let dough rise until nearly doubled in size. Check at 20 to 25 minutes. Proofing time may vary depending on dough type and quantity.
3. Touch CANCEL for the selected oven when finished proofing.
Before second proofing, shape dough, place in baking pan(s) and cover loosely. Follow the same placement and control steps above. Before baking, remove waxed paper or plastic wrap. Temperature Probe The temperature probe accurately measures the internal temperature of meat, poultry and casseroles with liquid and should be used in determining the doneness of meat and poultry. The temperature probe should only be used with Bake, Convect Bake, or Convect Roast. Always unplug and remove the temperature probe from the oven when removing food. To Use: Before using, insert the probe into the food item. For meats, the probe tip should be located in the center of the thickest part of the meat and not into the fat or touching a bone. Place food in oven and connect the temperature probe to the jack. Keep probe as far away from heat source as possible. Close oven door. NOTE: The temperature probe must be inserted into the food item before the mode is selected.

Combo Microwave Use A magnetron in the oven produces microwaves that reflect off the metal floor, walls, and ceiling and pass through the turntable and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are attracted to and absorbed by fat, sugar, and water molecules in the food, causing them to move, producing friction and heat which cooks the food. ■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not lean on or allow children to swing on the microwave oven door. ■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not operate microwave oven when it is empty. ■ The turntable must be in place and correct side up when microwave oven is in use. Do not use if turntable is chipped or broken. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for ordering information. ■ Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in microwave oven. ■ Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including brown paper bags and newspaper, should not be dried in microwave oven. ■ Paraffin wax will not melt in the microwave oven because it does not absorb microwaves. ■ Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from microwave oven. ■ Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended cook time, potatoes should be slightly firm. Let potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing. ■ Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time. Food Characteristics When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting temperature, composition, and density of the food affect cooking results. Amount of Food The more food heated at once, the longer the cook time needed. Check for doneness and add small increments of time if necessary. Size and Shape Smaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger pieces, and uniformly shaped foods cook more evenly than irregularly shaped food.13 Starting Temperature Room temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated foods, and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods. Composition and Density Foods high in fat and sugar will reach a higher temperature, and will heat faster than other foods. Heavy, dense foods, such as meat and potatoes, require a longer cook time than the same size of a light, porous food, such as cake. Cooking Guidelines Covering Covering food helps retain moisture, shorten cook time, and reduce spattering. Use the lid supplied with cookware. If a lid is not available, wax paper, paper towels or plastic wrap approved for microwave ovens may be used. Plastic wrap should be turned back at one corner to provide an opening to vent steam. Condensation on the door and cavity surfaces is normal during heavy cooking. Stirring and Turning Stirring and turning redistribute heat evenly to avoid overcooking the outer edges of food. Stir from outside to center. If possible, turn food over from bottom to top. Arranging If heating irregularly shaped or different sized foods, arrange the thinner parts and smaller sized items toward the center. If cooking several items of the same size and shape, place them in a ring pattern, leaving the center of the ring empty. Piercing Before heating, use a fork or small knife to pierce or prick foods that have a skin or membrane, such as potatoes, egg yolks, chicken livers, hot dogs, and sausage. Prick in several places to allow steam to vent. Shielding Use small, flat pieces of aluminum foil to cover the thin pieces of irregularly shaped foods, bones, and foods such as chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tail. See “Aluminum Foil and Metal” first. Standing Time Food will continue to cook by the natural conduction of heat even after the microwave cooking cycle ends. The length of standing time depends on the volume and density of the food. Turntable On/Off For best performance, the turntable should be on during microwave cooking. If using oversized cookware that does not turn freely on the turntable, turn the turntable off. See the “Turntable” section for additional information. When microwave cooking with the turntable off, food should be turned halfway through the cooking process. Cookware and Dinnerware Cookware and dinnerware must fit on the turntable. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling because any dish may become hot from heat transferred from the food. Do not use cookware and dinnerware with gold or silver trim. Use the following chart as a guide, and then test before using. MATERIAL RECOMMENDATIONS Aluminum Foil, Metal See “Aluminum Foil and Metal” section. Browning Dish Bottom must be at least 3/16" (5 mm) above the turntable. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations. Ceramic Glass, Glass Acceptable for use.

2. Cook at 100% cooking power for 1 minute.
Do not use cookware or dinnerware if it becomes hot and the water stays cool. Aluminum Foil and Metal Always use oven mitts or pot holders when removing dishes from the microwave oven. Aluminum foil and some metal can be used in the microwave oven. If not used properly, arcing (a blue flash of light) can occur and cause damage to the microwave oven. OK for Use Grids and bakeware supplied with the microwave oven (on some models), aluminum foil for shielding, and approved meat thermometers may be used with the following guidelines: ■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow aluminum foil or metal to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling, or floor.
STYROFOAM is a Registered Trademark of The Dow Chemical Company.14 ■ Always use the turntable. ■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow contact with another metal object during microwave cooking. Do Not Use Metal cookware and bakeware, gold, silver, pewter, non-approved meat thermometers, skewers, twist ties, foil liners such as sandwich wrappers, staples, and objects with gold or silver trim or a metallic glaze should not be used in the microwave oven. Microwave Cooking Power Many recipes for microwave cooking specify which cooking power to use by percent, name or number. For example, 70%=7=Medium-High. Use the following chart as a general guide for the suggested cooking power of specific foods. Microwave Cooking Power Chart PERCENT/ NAME NUMBER USE 100%, High (default setting) 10 Quick heating convenience foods and foods with high water content, such as soups, beverages, and most vegetables. 90% 9 Cooking small, tender pieces of meat, ground meat, poultry pieces, and fish fillets. Heating cream soups. 80% 8 Heating rice, pasta or casseroles. Cooking and heating foods that need a cook power lower than high. For example, whole fish and meat loaf. 70%, Medium-High 7 Reheating a single serving of food. 60% 6 Cooking sensitive foods such as cheese and egg dishes, pudding and custards. Cooking non- stirrable casseroles, such as lasagna. 50%, Medium

Grilling grid or convection grid Convection cooking uses the convection element, the broil element and the fan. Hot air is circulated throughout the oven cavity by the fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the food to heat the outer portion quickly. ■ The convect function may be used to cook small amounts of food on a single grid. ■ Always use the grilling grid or convection grid placed on turntable. ■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not cover turntable, grilling grid or convection grid, or baking tray with aluminum foil.17 ■ Do not use light plastic containers, plastic wrap, or paper products. All heatproof cookware or metal utensils can be used in convection cooking. Round pizza pans are excellent for convection cooking. ■ When the broil element is in use, the cooling fan turns on and stays on for up to 10 minutes after the cycle is over. ■ Use convection cooking for items such as soufflés, breads, cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and most meats and fish. Auto Convection Conversion is a function that converts a standard thermal bake cook time and temperature into an ideal cook time and temperature for convection cooking. Convection temperatures and times differ from those of standard cooking. The oven will automatically reduce standard recipe temperatures and times for convection cooking. The conversion may not be exact because foods are grouped in general categories. Use the following chart as a guide.

Browning Pan The Browning Pan feature uses the crisper pan, the broil element and microwaves to crisp and brown foods. While microwaves heat food from above, they also heat the pan from below to brown and crisp the food. Browning Pan can be used to saute meats and vegetables, pan fry bacon and eggs, and to crisp and brown pizza and french fries. Some Browning Pan cycles are programmed to preheat the empty pan for 3 minutes before cooking begins. When the preheating cycle is complete, the microwave oven will stop and prompt you to add the food to the crisper pan. The microwave oven may prompt you to turn over the food during the cycle. ■ Always use the crisper pan. ■ See the “Coated Crisper Pan and Handle” section before using. ■ Microwave oven cavity and door will become very hot during broil element use. The use of oven mitts is recommended. ■ The crisper pan will become very hot. Use the handle to grasp and remove the pan from the oven. Do not place hot crisper pan directly on heat-sensitive surfaces. Damage may occur. ■ To avoid damage to plastic utensils, do not use them with the crisper pan as it becomes very hot and could melt the utensils. ■ Do not use metal utensils, as they can scratch the pan. ■ For best cooking results, do not use the pan in any other microwave oven or in a thermal oven. ■ For best cooking results, do not place the crisper pan on the grilling grid or convection grid. Always use the turntable as a support for the pan. ■ For best results, coat pan lightly with cooking oil to make removing food and cleaning easier.
