■ Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave oven.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

■ Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

• Do not overheat the liquid.
• Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
• Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
• After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.
• Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

■ Do not store the microwave oven outdoors. Do not use this product near water - for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.
■ See door surface cleaning instructions in the "Oven Care" section.
■ To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

• Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the microwave oven if paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
• Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bags in oven.
• If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
• Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

BUILT-IN MICROWAVE OVEN USE

A magnetron in the oven produces microwaves which 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. See “Assistance or Service” section to reorder.

■ 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.

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 shield 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. Select turntable "Off" on the Option menu.

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, then test before using.

MATERIAL RECOMMENDATIONS

Aluminum Foil, Metal	See “Aluminum Foil and Metal” section.
Browning Dish	Bottom must be at least 316 (5 mm) above the turntable. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations.
Ceramic Glass, Glass	Acceptable for use.
China, Earthenware	Follow manufacturer’s recommendations.
Melamine Follow manufacturer’s recommendations.

To Test Cookware or Dinnerware for Microwave Use:

1. Place cookware or dinnerware in microwave oven with 1 cup (250 mL) of water beside it.
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

EasyConvect™ System Conversion

A. Grill element
B. Convection fan
C. Convection element
D. Convection rack

Convection cooking uses the convection element, the grill 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 rack.
■ Always use the baking tray or the convection rack placed on turntable.
■ To aviod damage to the microwave oven, do not cover turntable or convection rack or baking tray with aluminum foil.
■ Do not use light plastic containers, plastic wrap or paper products. All heat-proof cookware or metal utensils can be used in convection cooking. Round pizza pans are excellent for convection cooking.
■ Use convection cooking for items such as souffles, breads, cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and most meats and fish.

EasyConvect™ System 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.
