TIME COOKING AT HIGH POWER MULTI-STAGE COOKING  
˝HI˝ is the highest cooking power possible with your  
microwave oven. It is the best setting for cooking foods  
that have high water content, such as coffee, soups, or  
foods that need fast cooking to maintain their natural  
flavor and texture, like fish, vegetables, and most  
casseroles.  
Multi-Stage cooking allows you to set the oven in two  
stages at different power levels for a specific time.

SENSOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ADDING OR SUBTRACTING COOK  
Sensor cook allows you to cook most of your favorite  
foods without selecting cooking times and power levels.  
The display will indicate SENSOR during the sensing  
TIME(SENSOR COOK, POPCORN and  
SENSOR REHEAT)  
period. The oven automatically determines required  
cooking time for each food item. When the initial sensor  
detects a certain amount of vapor coming from the food,  
it will show the remaining heating time. For best results  
by sensor, following these recommendations.  
If the preset cooking time is too long or too short you can  
increase or decrease cooking time by 10% after choosing  
one of the following functions.  
To adjust the sensor cook, reheat or popcorn.  
Touch COOK.  
Example for setting for  
cook.  
1. Food cooked with the sensor system should be at  
normal storage temperature.  
COOK  
2. Foods should always be covered loosely with  
microwavable plastic warp, waxed paper, or a lid.

3. Do not open the door or touch STOP/CLEAR key  
during the sensing time. When sensing time is over,  
the oven beeps and the remaining cooking time will  
appear in the display window.  
You can only increase or decrease cooking time  
before cooking starts.  
At this time you can open the door to stir, turn, or  
rearrange the food.

2. Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can  
prevent steam from escaping and cause food to  
overcook.  
You do not need to touch START. 3 seconds after  
touching the pad, the oven begins cooking  
automatically.  
3. Match the amount of food and the size of containers.  
Fill containers at least half full for best results.  
4. Be sure the outside of the cooking container and the  
inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing  
food in the oven. Beads of moisture turing into steam  
can mislead the sensor.

NOTE:  
AUTO REHEAT  
(ROOM TEMP or FROZEN TEMP)  
Most microwave ovens require the selection of the  
power level and time for cooking or reheating.  
Your new oven makes reheating foods more convenient.  
A sensor in your oven detects the vapor released by the  
food, and the amount of vapor detected tells the oven  
how long to heat your food. To reheat food that is at  
room temperature, touch ROOM TEMP. To reheat food  
that is frozen, touch FROZEN TEMP.  
GG  
Place the popcorn bag on the bottom of the oven.  
GG  
Do not place the bag on the paper or plastic cookware  
or on turntables which are not an original part of the  
oven.  
GG  
Do not leave the oven unattended while popping corn.  
GG  
Remove the bag from the oven carefully. The popcorn  
and steam are extremely hot. Open the bag carefully  
by pulling the diagonal corners.

Weight conversion chart  
You are probably used to food weights being in pounds  
and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for example 4  
ounces equals 1/4 pound).  
However, in order to enter food weight in AUTO  
DEFROST, you must specify pounds and tenths of a  
pound. If the weight on the food package is in fractions  
of a pound, you can use the following chart to convert  
the weight to decimals.  
AUTO DEFROST  
Your microwave oven is preset with three defrost  
sequences(MEAT, POULTRY and FISH). The Auto  
Defrost method is the best way to defrost frozen foods.  
Prepare the food for defrosting:  
GG  
Place the food in a flat, shallow baking dish or use a  
microwave roasting in the dish to catch drippings.  
GG  
Pierce meats with a casing, such as hot dogs and

GENERAL GUIDELINES  
The benefit of this AUTO DEFROST feature is automatic setting and control of defrosting. But, just as in  
conventional defrosting, you must check the food during the defrosting time. Here are some important  
tips to remember about defrosting.  
For best results when defrosting, remember :  
G
Do not defrost less than 1/4 lb. of ground beef.  
Freeze ground beef in a doughnut shape.  
Press down the center of ground beef patties before freezing.  
Meats, fish or poultry up to 6 lbs. defrost best.  
To reduce moisture loss, defrost meats just before cooking.  
To defrost convenience foods, follow package directions.  
G
G
G
G
G
To prepare the item for defrosting, remember :  
Remove the packaging.  
NOTE : If the package is microwavable, pierce the package several times.  
G
Note the weight of the item on the package.  
When you calculate the weight of the item, round it to the nearest lower decimal.(See the weight  
G
conversion chart.)  
Remove metal twist ties from the packaging.  
For best results, remove meat, poultry, and fish from the original wrapper. The wrapper can hold steam  
G
G
and juice close to the food and cause the outer surface to cook.  
If removing the wrapper is difficult, defrost the wrapped food for about 1/4 of the defrosting time  
G
(displayed at the beginning of the defrost cycle). Then remove the food from the oven and remove the  
wrapping. Return the food to the oven and touch START.

CONVECTION COOKING  
INTRODUCTION  
Convection ovens are not new. They have been a favorite of professional bakers for many years. Both  
conventional and convection ovens cook food with heat generated by gas or electricity. In a  
conventional oven, air remains stationary; the heat rises to the top of the oven and is not evenly  
distributed throughout the oven interior. In a convection oven, a fan circulates the warm air. The  
continuous flow of warm air around food in a convection oven causes it to be cooked more evenly and  
somewhat faster than it can be cooked by motionless air in a conventional oven. Convection cooking,  
with its circulating hot, dry air, is a superb cooking method for baked goods, roasts, poultry and other  
foods that require a crisp, browned surface.  
Your oven uses convection cooking whenever you use the Convection Command Pads.  
G
Do not cover baking rack with aluminum foil. It interferes with the flow of air that cooks the food.  
G
Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils for many convection-only items.  
Choose pans that do not have extended handles.  
G
Use convection cooking for items like souffles, breads, cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and for  
some meat and fish cooking.  
G
You do not need to use any special techniques to adapt your favorite oven recipes to convection  
cooking; however, you may need to lower some temperatures or reduce some cooking times from the  
convection oven cooking directions.  
G
When baking cakes, cookies, breads, rolls or other baked foods, most recipes call for preheating.  
Preheat the empty oven just as you do a regular oven. You can start heavier dense foods such as  
meats, casseroles, and poultry without preheating.  
G
All heatproof cookware or metal utensils can be used in convection cooking.  
G
As in conventional cooking, the distance of the food from the heat source affects cooking results.  
G
Use metal utensils only for convection cooking. Never use for microwave or combination cooking  
since arcing and damage to the oven may occur.  
G
After preheating, if you do not open the door, the oven will automatically hold at the preheated  
temperature for 30 minutes.  
G
You can set up to three convection cycles.  
(Example for two crust pies: you can set the oven to preheat for baking at 425°F and to finish baking at  
350°F.)

CONVENIENCE FOODS COOKING CHART FOR CONVECTION COOKING  
Convection cooking of convenience foods is similar to cooking in a conventional oven. Select items that  
fit conveniently such as an 8 1/2 -inch frozen pizza. Convection preheat to the desired temperature, and  
use metal or ovenproof glass cooking utensils. When cooking or baking these convenience foods, follow  
package directions for preparation and selecting the correct container. Because of the great variety of  
foods available, times given here are approximate. It is advisable to always check food about five  
minutes before the minimum recommended time, and cook longer only if needed. Use oven mitts to  
insert or remove items from the oven.

COMBINATION COOKING  
INTRODUCTION  
Some foods benefit from the combination of cooking by microwave energy and convection heat. This  
combination method allows you to take advantage of the speed moisture retention of microwave cooking  
and the crisping and browning effect of hot, dry air. For example, microwave energy will speed cooking  
and keep meat and poultry moist on the inside while convection heat crisps and browns the surface.  
When you use the micro/convection method, your oven will alternate automatically back and forth  
between both cooking methods and the results will delight and amaze you.  
Your oven has two preprogrammed settings that make it easy to cook with both convection heat and  
+
=
MICROWAVE  
CONVECTION  
COMBINATION  
(MICROWAVE/CONVECTION)  
microwave energy automatically.  
All utensils used for micro/convection cooking must be BOTH microwaveproof and heatproof. Oven-  
tempered heatproof glass, china, and pottery that do not have metal trim or glaze are the best choice.  
THE METAL RACK MAY BE USED IN COMBINATION COOKING ONLY WHEN SPECIFICALLY  
INDICATED IN A RECIPE.  
However, METAL PANS MUST NEVER BE PLACED ON THE METAL RACK IN COMBINATION  
COOKING. If any metal touches the metal rack during a microwave cycle, arcing may occur and your  
oven may be damaged.  
G Meats may be roasted directly on the Metal Rack or in a shallow roasting pan placed on the rack. When  
using the Metal Rack, please check the manual for information on proper use.  
G Less tender cuts of beef can be roasted and tenderized using oven cooking bags.  
G When baking, check for doneness after cooking time is up. If not completely done, let stand in oven for  
a few minutes to complete cooking.  
NOTE: During combination baking, some baking utensils may cause arcing when they come in contact  
with the oven walls or metal racks. Arcing is a discharge of electricity that occurs when  
microwaves come in contact with metal. If arcing occurs, place a heatproof dish between the pan  
and the Metal Rack. If arcing occurs with other baking utensils, stop using them for combination  
cooking.

CARE AND CLEANING  
GENERAL  
For best performance and safety, keep the oven clean inside and outside. Take special care to keep the  
inner door panel and the oven front frame free of food or grease build-up.  
NEVER USE ROUGH POWDERS OR PADS. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out, including the  
hood bottom cover, with a soft cloth and a warm (not hot) mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe  
dry.  
Use a chrome cleaner and polish on chrome, metal and aluminum surfaces.  
Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or bacon.  
Clean your oven weekly or more often, if needed.  
Metal Rack  
Remove the metal rack to clean it at the sink.  
Use a mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry.  
Grease Filters  
Remove the metal mesh grease filters on the hood bottom cover for washing at the sink. To remove each  
filter :  
1. Grasp the tab at the end of the filter, as shown.  
2. Slide the filter toward each side of the oven.  
3. Pull it downward and out.

Charcoal Filter(Optional) Replacement  
If your oven is vented inside, the charcoal filter needs replacing every 6 to 12 months, and more often if  
necessary. The charcoal filter removes odors and smoke from the vented air. If you start smelling  
cooking odors or see some smoke, you need to replace the charcoal filter. Here's how:  
1. To order a new charcoal filter, contact your dealers parts department.  
2. Remove the two vent grille mounting screws.  
If the screws are not accessible, remove the oven from the wall.  
3. Tip the grille forward, then lift it out.  
4. Lift the back of the charcoal filter and slide it toward you.  
5. Slide a new charcoal filter into place.  
6. Put the grille back on with the mounting screws.  
Work Light Replacement(Cooktop/Countertop Light)  
When either bulb in the work light burns out, you will need to replace it with a 30 watt appliance bulb.  
1. Disconnect the power at the circuit breaker or unplug the power cord.  
2. Remove the phillips head screw from the work light cover. Right side will drop.  
3. Unhook tab at left side.  
4. Unscrew the burned out bulb and replace with one of the same size and wattage (30 watts).  
5. Replace the work light cover and the screw.  
6. Reconnect the power.  
7. Set the Time of Day (see Page 9).

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS  
OPERATION  
Q. What is wrong when the oven light will not glow during cooking or when the oven door is  
open?  
A. There may be several reasons why the oven light will not glow. Perhaps:  
The door is not closed & locked. Push the door firmly to be sure that the door is locked properly.  
G
The light bulb has burned out.  
Q. Why does steam come out of the vent grill?  
A. Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been designed to vent this  
steam out the left side vent.  
Q. Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates empty?  
A. Yes. Never operate the oven empty.  
Q. Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door?  
A. No. The metal screen bounces back the energy to the oven cavity. The holes (or ports) are made to  
allow light to pass through. They do not let microwave energy pass through.  
Q. Why does the "beep" tone sound when a "pad" on the control panel is touched?  
A. The "beep" tone sounds to assure that the setting is being properly entered.  
Q. Can my microwave oven be damaged if food is cooked for too long a period of time?  
A. Like any other cooking appliance, it is possible to destroy food by overcooking, which may result in  
smoke and even possible fire damage to the inside of the oven. It is always best to stay with the oven  
while it is cooking. See the "Safety Instructions" on pages 4 and 5.  
Q. Why does the hood fan start when I have not pushed the Fan Control Button?  
A. The hood fan starts automatically to prevent the oven from overheating.  
Q. When the oven is plugged into a wall outlet for the first time, it may not work properly. What is  
wrong?  
A. Only when the oven is plugged in for the first time or when power starts again after a power outage,  
the microcomputer in the oven may become scrambled and not work as it was programmed to work.  
Unplug the oven from the 120V household outlet and then plug it back in. The microcomputer will  
reset and work properly afterward.  
Q. Why do I see light reflection around the outer case?  
A. This light is from the oven light located outside the cavity.  
Q. How can I be sure the oven is turned off when the hood fan is running?  
A. The hood fan may be louder than the oven. If you are not sure the oven is off, turn off the hood fan  
and check to see if the oven is operating. The oven is designed to turn off automatically when you  
open the door.  
If, for some reason, you are still not satisfied, have your oven checked.  
FOODS  
Q. What is wrong when baked foods have a hard, dry, brown spot?  
A. A hard, dry, brown spot shows overcooking. Shorten the cooking or reheating time.  
Q. Why do eggs sometimes pop?  
A. When baking, frying or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to steam build-up inside the yolk  
membrane. To prevent this build-up, simply pierce the yolk with a toothpick before cooking it.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS  
CAUTION  
Never microwave eggs in the shell.  
Q. Why are scrambled eggs sometimes a little dry after cooking?  
A. Eggs dry out if they are overcooked. Though you use the same recipe each time, you may need to  
vary the cooking time for one of these reasons:  
G
Eggs vary in size.  
G
Eggs are at room temperature one time and at refrigerator temperature another time.  
G
The shape of utensils vary, making cooking time vary also.  
G
Eggs continue cooking during standing time.  
Q. Is it possible to popcorn in a microwave oven?  
A. Yes, if using one of the two methods described below.  
1. Microwave-popping devices designed for microwave cooking  
2. Prepackaged commercial microwave popcorn that suggests specific times and power outputs  
needed for an acceptable final product.  
FOLLOW EXACT DIRECTIONS GIVEN BY EACH MANUFACTURER FOR THE POPCORN POPPING  
PRODUCT AND DO NOT LEAVE THE OVEN UNATTENDED WHILE THE CORN IS BEING POPPED.  
IF THE CORN FAILS TO POP AFTER THE SUGGESTED TIMES, DISCONTINUE COOKING.  
OVERCOOKING COULD RESULT IN AN OVEN FIRE.  
CAUTION  
Never use a brown paper bag for popping corn.  
Q. What is wrong when three potatoes bake thoroughly and the fourth one is still not cooked?  
A. The fourth potato may be slightly heavier than the others, and should be cooked 30 to 60 seconds  
longer.  
Remember to allow space around each potato when baking. Also, for more even cooking, put the  
potatoes in a circle.  
Q. Why do baked apples sometimes burst during cooking?  
A. The peeling 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 regular cooking the interior of the apple expands during cooking.  
Q. How do you avoid boilovers?  
A. When cooking foods that tend to boil over, use a larger utensil than usual for cooking. If you open door  
or press STOP, the food will stop boiling. (Remember to press START again after closing the the door  
to restart the cooking cycle.)  
Q. Why is standing time necessary after microwave cooking is over?  
A. Standing time allows foods to continue cooking evenly throughout for a few moments after the actual  
microwave oven cooking cycle. The amount of standing time depends on the density of the food.  
Q. Why is additional time required for cooking food stored in the refrigerator?  
A. As in conventional cooking, the initial temperature of food affects total cooking time.  
Refrigerated foods take more time to cook than foods stored at room temperature.
