GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding  
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.  
This appliance is equipped with a cord that includes a grounding wire and a grounding  
plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.  
WARNING WARNING  
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.  
- Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove the third (grounding) prong. Do  
not use an adaptor or otherwise defeat the grounding plug.  
- Consult a qualified electrician or service person if you do not understand the  
grounding instructions or if you are not sure if the appliance is properly grounded.  
- We do not recommend using an extension cord with this appliance. If the power-  
supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet  
near the appliance. However, if it is necessary to use an extension cord, read and  
follow the “Use of Extension Cords” section below.  
Use of Extension Cords  
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of your becoming entangled in  
or tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and you  
can use them if you exercise care. If you use a long cord or extension cord:  
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as  
great as the electrical rating of the appliance.  
2. The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord and it must be plugged  
into a 3-slot outlet.  
3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or  
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally. If you use  
an extension cord, the interior light may flicker and the speed of the blower may vary  
when the microwave oven is on. Cooking times may be longer too.  
CRITICAL INSTALLATION WARNINGS  
WARNING  
The installation of this appliance must be performed by a qualified technician or  
service company.  
- Failing to have a qualified technician install the oven may result in electric  
shock, fire, an explosion, problems with the product, or injury.  
Unpack the oven, remove all packaging material and examine the oven for  
any damage such as dents on the interior or exterior of the oven, broken door  
latches, cracks in the door, or a door that is not lined up correctly. If there is  
any damage, do not operate the oven and notify your dealer immediately.  
Make sure to install your oven in a location with adequate space.  
Remove all foreign substances such as dust or water from the power plug  
terminals and contact points using a dry cloth on a regular basis.

In the event of a grease fire on the surface units below the oven, smother the  
flaming pan on the surface unit by covering the pan completely with a lid, a  
cookie sheet, or a flat tray.  
Never leave surface units beneath your oven unattended at high heat settings.  
Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread if  
the vent fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate  
sized cookware and use high heat on surface units only when necessary.  
If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the  
oven off and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit  
breaker panel. If the door is opened, the fire may spread.

the oven on your own. There is dangerous voltage inside. If the oven needs  
to be repaired, contact an authorized service center near you.  
Do not attempt to repair, disassemble, or modify the appliance yourself.  
- Because a high voltage current enters the product chassis during operation,  
opening the chassis can result in electric shock or fire.  
- You may be exposed to electromagnetic waves.  
- When the oven requires repair, contact your nearest service center.

BROWN  
Browning adds texture and taste to your recipe. When browning, use the middle or high rack accessories.  
Use the middle rack when the height of food is so high that the food could touch the upper heater.  
1. Press the Brown button. The display shows SET TIME.  
2. Use the dial to set a cooking time (max time 60 min).  
3. Press the Start button to begin Browning.  
• The Convection Heater (750W) and Upper Heater (940W) operate at the same time.  
• The vent fan operates at low speed at the same time.  
BAKE / ROAST  
The Bake/Roast mode uses dry heat to cook and brown food. A high speed fan circulates hot air inside the  
oven to heat food quickly and evenly. When you cook using convection, you would generally use the low rack.  
If you are cooking a large amount of food, you can cook using the low and middle racks simultaneoulsy. For  
best results if you are using both racks, change the location of the food in the middle of cooking.  
1. Press the Bake or Roast button. The display shows: SET TEMP  
2. Use the dial to set a temperature in the convection cooking range: 100 °F to 425 °F.  
To maintain a constant temperature, keep the oven door closed while the food is cooking. Open as  
infrequently as posible.  
3. Press the Select button. If you want to preheat the oven, press the Start button.  
4. Use the dial to set a cooking time (max time 60 min).  
5. Press Start button to begin convection cooking.  
SPEED BAKE / ROAST  
The combination cooking feature allows you to cycle automatically between microwave and Bake/Roast  
cooking. The food will be moist as well as crisp and brown. This type of cooking is ideal for large foods that  
require long cooking times when prepared in a conventional oven (such as large roasts, whole chickens, etc.).  
When combination cooking, use the low or middle rack to allow air to circulate completely around the dish.  
To use combination cooking  
1. Press the Speed Bake/Roast button.  
2. Dial Speed Bake or Speed Roast, and then press Select button.  
The display shows SET TIME.  
3. Use the dial to set the cooking time (max time: 60 min,), and then press then Select button.  
The display shows SET POWER.  
4. Use the dial to set the microwave power level (10, 30, 50, 70%, etc.).  
5. Press the Start button.  
This mode combines microwave energy with hot air and therefore reduces the cooking time while giving the  
food a brown and crispy surface.  
Cookware for cooking with Speed bake/roast  
Please only use cookware that is specially manufactured for microwave ovens. Do not use metal cookware  
with this combination mode. Do not use any type of plastic cookware, as it can melt.  
Food suitable for Speed bake/roast  
Other food suitable for this combination mode cooking include all kinds of previously cooked food which need  
reheating and browning (e.g. baked pasta), as well as foods which require a short cooking time to brown the top  
of the food. This mode can also be used for thick food portions that benefit from a browned and crispy top (e.g.  
chicken pieces, turning them over half way through cooking). Other food suitable for this cooking mode include a  
variety of meats and poultry as well as frozen snacks and pizza.

cookware guide  
To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate the  
food without being reflected or absorbed by the dish.  
It is important to choose the correct cookware, therefore look for cookware that is  
marked microwave-safe.  
The following table lists various types of cookware and indicates if and how they  
should be used in a microwave oven.  
RECOMMENDED COOKING UTENSILS  
Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes — Use for heating or cooking.  
Microwavable plastic wrap — Use to cover. Leave a small opening for some steam to escape and  
avoid placing it directly on the food.  
Wax paper — Use as a cover to prevent spattering.  
Paper towels and napkins — Use for short-term heating and covering. They absorb excess moisture  
and prevent spattering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and can catch fire.  
Paper plates and cups — Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do not use recycled paper,  
which may contain metal and can catch fire.  
Thermometers — Use only those labeled “Microwave Safe” and follow all directions. Check the food  
in several places. Conventional thermometers may be used once the food has been removed from the  
oven.  
LIMITED USE ITEMS  
Aluminum foil — Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Using too much  
foil can damage your oven, so be careful.  
Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware — Use these if they are labeled “Microwave Safe”. If they are not  
labeled, test them to make sure they can be used safely. Never use dishes with metallic trim.  
Plastic — Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe”. Other plastics can melt.  
Straw, wicker, and wood — Use only for short-term heating, as they can be flammable.  
NOT RECOMMENDED  
Glass jars and bottles — Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave and can shatter.  
Paper bags — These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that are designed for microwave use.  
Styrofoam plates and cups — These can melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food.  
Plastic storage and food containers — Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the  
microwave.  
TESTING UTENSILS  
If you are not sure whether a dish is microwave-safe or not, you can  
perform this test:  
1. Fill a 1 cup glass measuring cup with water and put it inside your  
oven, next to the dish you want to test.  
2. Dial in the Microwave +30 Sec. direction (clockwise) and set to 1  
minute to heat the glass and dish for one minute at High power.  
Press the Start button to begin.  
When the micorwave stops, the water should be warm and the dish you are testing should be cool.  
If the dish is warm, then it is absorbing microwave energy and is not acceptable for use in the microwave.

cooking guide  
Microwave energy actually penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by the water,  
fat and sugar content. The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move  
rapidly. The rapid movement of these molecules creates friction and the resulting  
heat cooks the food.  
COOKING TECHNIQUES  
Stirring  
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at the outside of  
the dish absorbs more energy and heats more quickly, so stir from the outside to the center. The oven will  
turn off when you open the door to stir your food.  
Arrangement  
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with the thicker, meatier parts toward  
the outside of the turntable where they receive more microwave energy. To prevent overcooking, place thin  
or delicate parts toward the center of the turntable.  
Shielding  
Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Areas that need shielding include  
poultry wing-tips, the ends of poultry legs, and corners of square baking dishes. Use only small amounts of  
aluminum foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven.  
Turning  
Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to microwave energy. This is especially  
important with large items such as roasts.  
Standing  
Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue to cook for a few minutes after the oven  
stops. Let foods stand to complete cooking, especially foods such as roasts and whole vegetables. Roasts  
need this time to complete cooking in the center without overcooking the outer areas. All liquids, such as  
soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken or stirred when cooking is complete. Let liquids stand a moment  
before serving. When heating baby food, stir well and test the temperature before serving.  
Adding Moisture  
Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture content should be  
covered or allowed to stand so that the heat disperses evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food to  
help it cook.  
Venting  
After covering a dish with plastic wrap, vent plastic wrap by turning back one corner so excess steam can  
escape.  
GENERAL MICROWAVE TIPS  
Dense foods, such as potatoes, take longer to heat than lighter foods. Foods with a delicate texture  
should be heated at a low power level to prevent it from becoming tough.  
Altitude and the type of cookware you are using can affect cooking time. When using a new recipe, use  
the minimum cooking time and check the food occasionally to prevent overcooking.  
Foods with a non-porous skin such as potatoes or hot dogs should be pierced to prevent bursting.  
Frying with heating oil or fat is not recommended. Fat and oil can suddenly boil over and cause severe  
burns.  
Some ingredients heat faster than others. For example, the jelly inside a jelly doughnut will be hotter  
than the dough. Keep this in mind to avoid burns.

2012-05-21 �� 5:10:19  
Home canning in the microwave oven is not recommended because all harmful bacteria may not be  
destroyed by the microwave heating process.  
Although microwaves do not heat the cookware, the heat from the food is often transferred to the  
cookware. Always use pot holders when removing food from the microwave and instruct children to do  
the same.  
Making candy in the microwave is not recommended as candy can heat to very high temperatures.  
Keep this in mind to avoid injury.  
GUIDE FOR 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 whole eggs to keep them from bursting.  
Cook eggs just until set. They become tough if overcooked.  
GUIDE FOR COOKING VEGETABLES IN YOUR MICROWAVE  
Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Often, no extra water is needed. If you are cooking  
dense vegetables such as cubed potatoes, carrots, or green beans, add about ¼ cup water.  
Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook faster than larger ones.  
Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash, or corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle  
on the turntable before cooking. They will cook more evenly if turned over after half the cooking time.  
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, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skin pricked in  
several spots before cooking to prevent them from bursting.  
For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway through the cooking time.  
Generally, the denser the food, the longer the standing time. (Standing time refers to the time necessary  
for dense, large foods and vegetables to finish cooking after they come out of the oven.) A baked potato  
can stand on the counter for five minutes before cooking is completed, while a dish of peas can be  
served immediately.

cleaning and maintaining your  
microwave oven  
Keeping your microwave oven clean improves its performance, wards off unnecessary repairs, and  
lengthens its life.  
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR  
Its best to clean spills on the outside of your microwave oven as they occur. Use a soft cloth and warm,  
soapy water. Rinse and dry.  
Do not get water into the vents. Never use abrasive products or chemical solvents such as ammonia  
or alcohol as they can damage the appearance of your microwave.  
CAUTION  
Unplug the microwave plug before cleaning.  
WARNING  
Cleaning under your microwave oven  
Regularly clean grease and dust from the bottom of your microwave using a solution of warm water and  
detergent.  
Cleaning the control panel  
Wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water,  
abrasives or sharp objects on the panel as it is easily damaged.  
Cleaning the door and door seals  
Always ensure that the door seals are clean and that the door closes properly. Take particular care when  
cleaning the door seals to ensure that no particles accumulate and prevent the door from closing correctly.  
Wash the glass door with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft cloth to avoid scratching.  
If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accumulate  
when operating the oven at high humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage.  
CLEANING THE INTERIOR  
Ensure that the microwave oven has cooled down before cleaning it to avoid injury.  
CAUTION  
Remove the glass tray from the oven when cleaning the oven or tray.  
To prevent the tray from breaking, handle it with care and do not put it in water immediately after  
CAUTION  
cooking. Wash the tray carefully in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher.  
See Steam Clean section on page 18  
CLEANING THE TURNTABLE AND ROLLER RINGS  
Clean the roller rings periodically and wash the turntable as required. The turntable can safely be washed in  
your dishwasher.
