materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate  
cooking.  
—Remove wire twist-ties and metal handles  
from paper or plastic bags before placing  
them in the oven.  
• For best operation, plug this appliance into  
its own electrical outlet, to prevent flickering  
of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit  
breaker.  
—Do not use your microwave convection oven  
/
to dry newspapers.  
—Do not use recycled paper products. Recycled  
paper towels, napkins and waxed paper can  
contain metal flecks which may cause arcing  
or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or  
nylon filaments should be avoided, as they  
may also ignite.

—Do not use the oven for storage purposes. Do  
not leave paper products, cooking utensils or  
food in the oven when not in use.  
• Sometimes, the oven floor and walls can  
become too hot to touch. Be careful touching the  
floor and walls during and after cooking.  
—If materials inside oven should ignite, keep  
oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect  
power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or  
circuit breaker panel.  
• Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may tend  
to boil over more rapidly than foods containing  
less moisture. Should this occur, refer to the Care  
and Cleaning section(s) for instructions on how to  
clean the inside of the oven.  
• When using the convection or combination  
cooking functions, both the outside and inside of  
the oven will become hot. Always use hot pads to  
remove containers of food and accessories such as  
the metal accessory rack and temperature probe.  
• Thermometer—Do not use regular cooking  
or oven thermometers when cooking by  
microwave or combination. The metal and  
mercury in these thermometers could cause  
“arcing” and possible damage to the oven. Do  
not use a thermometer in food you are

or recommended for use in the microwave oven.  
oven because they increase the risk of electric  
shock and could cause a fire.  
• Remove the temperature probe from the oven  
when not using it to cook with. If you leave the  
probe inside the oven without inserting it in food  
or liquid, and turn on microwave energy, it can  
create electrical arcing in the oven, damage oven  
walls and damage the temperature probe.  
• Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces  
can burn off the pad and touch electrical parts  
involving risk of electric shock.  
• Do not use paper products when the  
microwave convection oven is operated in  
/
the convection or combination mode.  
• Plastic cookware—Plastic cookware designed  
for microwave cooking is very useful, but should  
be used carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic  
may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions  
as are glass or ceramic materials and may soften  
or char if subjected to short periods of

resulting in injury.  
overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooking,  
the food and cookware could ignite. For these  
reasons: 1) Use microwave-safe plastics only and  
use them in strict compliance with the cookware  
manufacturer’s recommendations. 2) Do not  
subject empty cookware to microwaving. 3) Do  
not permit children to use plastic cookware  
without complete supervision.  
• Use foil only as directed in this guide. TV  
dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less than  
3/4″ high; remove the top foil cover and return the  
tray to the box. When using foil in the microwave  
oven, keep the foil at least 1 inch away from  
sides of the oven.  
• Do not cover the shelf or any other part  
of the oven with metal foil. This will cause  
overheating of the microwave convection oven.  
/
• When cooking pork, follow the directions  
exactly and always cook the meat to an internal  
temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that, in  
the remote possibility that trichina may be present  
in the meat, it will be killed and meat will be safe  
to eat.  
• Cookware may become hot because  
of heat transferred from the heated  
food. Pot holders may be needed to  
handle the cookware.  
• Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure  
will build up inside egg yolk and will cause it to  
burst, possibly resulting in injury.  
(continued next page)

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
(continued)  
• Foods with unbroken outer ‘‘skin’’  
such as potatoes, sausages, tomatoes,  
apples, chicken livers and other giblets,  
and egg yolks (see previous caution)  
should be pierced to allow steam to  
escape during cooking.  
• Hot foods and steam can cause  
burns. Be careful when opening any  
containers of hot food, including  
popcorn bags, cooking pouches and  
boxes. To prevent possible injury,  
direct steam away from hands and face.  
• Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even with  
the lid off. Make sure all infant food is thoroughly  
cooked. Stir food to distribute the heat evenly. Be  
careful to prevent scalding when warming formula  
or breast milk. The container may feel cooler than  
the milk really is. Always test the milk before  
feeding the baby.  
SAFETY FACT—Superheated water.  
Microwaved water and other liquids do not always  
bubble when they reach the boiling point. They can  
actually get superheated and not bubble at all.  
Superheated liquid will bubble up out of the cup  
when it is moved or when something like a spoon  
or tea bag is put into it.  
To prevent this from happening and causing injury,  
do not heat any liquid for more than 2 minutes  
per cup. After heating, let the cup stand in the  
microwave for 30 seconds before moving it or  
putting anything into it.  
• Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in  
microwave ovens. Check the package for  
proper use.  
• ‘‘Boilable’’ cooking pouches and tightly closed  
plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as  
directed by package. If they are not, plastic could  
burst during or immediately after cooking, possibly  
resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage containers  
should be at least partially uncovered because they  
form a tight seal. When cooking with containers  
tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove covering  
carefully and direct steam away from hands  
and face.  
• Spontaneous boiling—Under certain special  
circumstances, liquids may start to boil during or  
shortly after removal from the microwave oven. To  
prevent burns from splashing liquid, we recommend  
the following: before removing the container from  
the oven, allow it to stand in the oven for 30 to 40  
seconds after the oven has shut off. Do not boil  
liquids in narrow-necked containers such as soft  
drink bottles, wine flasks and especially narrow-  
necked coffee cups. Even if the container is  
opened, excessive steam can build up and cause it to  
burst or overflow.  
• Use of the shelf accessory.  
—Use pot holders when handling the shelf and  
cookware. They will be hot.  
—Never use the shelf for microwave-only cooking.  
Remove the shelf from the oven when microwave-  
only cooking.  
—Always place the shelf on the floor of the oven for  
convection and combination cooking.  
• Some products such as whole eggs and sealed  
containers—for example, closed glass jars—  
will explode and should not be heated in this  
microwave oven. Such use of the microwave/  
convection oven could result in injury.

MICROWAVING TIPS  
• Make sure all cookware used in your microwave  
• Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap  
can be used to cover dishes in order to retain  
moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent  
plastic wrap so steam can escape.  
oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass  
casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard  
cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not  
have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen  
can be used. Some cookware is labeled ‘‘suitable for  
microwaving.’’  
• Some microwaved foods require stirring, rotating  
or rearranging.  
• Steam builds up pressure in foods which are  
tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Pierce  
potatoes, egg yolks and chicken livers to prevent  
bursting.  
• If you are not  
sure if a dish is  
microwave-safe,  
use this test:  
Place in the oven  
If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make  
sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.  
both the dish you  
are testing and a  
glass measuring  
cup filled with one  
cup of water—set the measuring cup either in or  
next to the dish. Microwave 1 minute at high. If the  
dish heats, it should not be used for microwaving. If  
the dish remains cool and only the water in the cup  
heats, then the dish is microwave-safe.  
VARIABLE POWER LEVELS (1–10)  
Rest periods (when the microwave energy cycles off)  
give time for the food to “equalize” or transfer heat  
to the inside of the food. An example of this is shown  
with Power Level 3—the defrost cycle. If microwave  
energy did not cycle off, the outside of the food would  
cook before the inside was defrosted.  
How to Change Power Level  
1. Press MICRO COOK or TIME DEFROST.  
2. Select cooking or defrosting time.

BEST USES  
High 10  
Fish, bacon, vegetables,  
boiling liquids.  
Variable power levels add flexibility to your microwave  
cooking. The power levels on your microwave oven  
can be compared to the surface units on a range. High  
(Power Level 10) or full power is the fastest way to  
cook and gives you 100% power. Each power level  
gives you microwave energy a certain percent of the  
time. Power Level 7 is microwave energy 70% of the  
time. Power Level 3 is energy 30% of the time.  
Med-High 7  
Medium 5  
Gentle cooking of meat and  
poultry; baking casseroles  
and reheating.  
Slow cooking and tenderizing  
such as stews and less tender  
cuts of meat.  
A high setting (10) will cook faster but may need  
additional attention such as frequent stirring, rotating  
or turning over. Most of your cooking will be done  
on High (Power Level 10). A lower setting will cook  
more evenly and with less attention given to stirring  
or rotating the food. Some foods may have better  
flavor, texture or appearance if one of the lower  
settings is used. You may wish to use a lower power  
level when cooking foods that have a tendency to  
boil over, such as scalloped potatoes.  
Low 3  
Defrosting without cooking;  
simmering; delicate sauces.  
Warm 1  
Keeping food warm without  
overcooking; softening butter.

WHAT YOUR OVEN CAN DO  
Cooking with your new oven offers a wide variety  
The Microwave Sensor Cooking Features (Sensor  
Cook, Sensor Reheat and Sensor Popcorn) do your  
microwave cooking for you. They are easy and  
convenient—just follow the step-by-step instructions  
in this manual. A sensor detects steam from the food  
and automatically adjusts cooking time and power  
level for best results.  
of food preparation options. 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.  
Combination Roast uses alternating microwave and  
convection to roast meats to perfection.  
Auto Defrost automatically sets the defrosting time  
and power levels for you. Enter the food weight in  
pounds and tenths of a pound and touch the START  
pad. The oven calculates the defrosting time and  
changes power levels during defrosting to give even  
defrosting results.  
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.  
Your new oven also offers the option of combination  
cooking, using microwave energy along with  
convection cooking. You cook with speed and  
accuracy, while browning and crisping to perfection.  
The Delay Start/Reminder feature lets you program  
the oven to start cooking at a desired time, even if  
you’re not at home. The Reminder feature can be used  
like an alarm clock.  
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. Or you can cook by  
temperature, by these methods, using the temperature  
probe to determine the doneness by the internal  
temperature of the food. This method takes the  
guesswork out of cooking, shutting the oven off  
automatically when the food reaches the desired  
temperature.

Cookware Tips  
Convection Cooking  
Combination Cooking  
METAL PANS are recommended for all types of baked  
products, but especially where browning or crusting  
is important.  
GLASS OR GLASS-CERAMIC baking containers  
are recommended. Be sure not to use items with metal  
trim as it may cause arcing (sparking) with oven wall  
or metal accessory shelf, damaging the cookware, the  
shelf or the oven.  
Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and  
pies because they absorb heat and produce crisper  
crust.  
HEAT-RESISTANT PLASTIC microwave  
cookware (safe to 400°F.) may be used, but it is  
not recommended for foods requiring crusting or  
all-around browning, because the plastic is a poor  
conductor of heat.  
Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies  
or muffins because these pans reflect heat and help  
produce a light tender crust.  
GLASS OR GLASS-CERAMIC casserole or baking  
dishes are best suited for egg and cheese recipes due  
to the cleanability of glass.

the pan and the walls of the oven for  
air circulation.

DEFROSTING BY TIME  
Time Defrost (Power Level 3)  
Time Defrost is designed for speedy thawing of  
frozen food and is one of the great advantages of a  
microwave oven.  
To become better acquainted with the defrost  
function, defrost a 10 oz. package of frozen  
strawberries by following the steps below.  
Use the Time Defrost setting to quickly thaw foods  
such as bread, rolls, vegetables, fruits and frozen  
dinners. The Auto Defrost setting is preferred for  
meat and poultry because the oven sets the defrosting  
time and power levels for you.  
Step 1: Place a package of frozen strawberries in  
the oven and close door. Be sure package contains  
no metal.  
Step 2: Touch TIME DEFROST.

Defrosting Tips  
• Foods frozen in paper or  
plastic can be defrosted in  
the package. Tightly closed  
packages should be slit,  
pierced or vented, AFTER  
food has partially defrosted,  
as directed by package.  
Plastic storage containers  
should be at least partially  
uncovered.  
• For even defrosting, some  
foods need to be broken up  
or separated part of the way  
through the defrosting time.  
• Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish,  
stuffings, poultry and pork should not be allowed to  
sit out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room  
temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.  
• Check the Defrosting Guide for other defrosting tips.  
• Family-size, prepackaged frozen dinners can be  
defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil  
container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.  
Questions and Answers  
Q. When I press START, I hear a dull thumping  
noise. What is it?  
Q. Can I defrost small items in a hurry?  
A. Yes, but they will need more frequent attention  
than usual. Raise the power level after entering  
the time by touching the desired power level pad.  
Power Level 7 cuts the total defrosting time in  
about 1/2; Power Level 10 cuts the total defrosting  
time to approximately 1/3. During either, rotate or  
stir food frequently.  
A. This sound is normal. It is letting you know the  
magnetron is in operation.

COOKING BY TEMPERATURE  
Internal temperature is the best test of doneness  
Temp Cook/Hold takes the guesswork out of cooking  
because the oven automatically switches to ‘‘Hold’’  
setting after reaching the preset food temperature  
and maintains that temperature until you touch the  
CLEAR/OFF pad.  
for many foods.  
Use Temp Cook/Hold to cook a variety of foods to  
the desired finished food temperature. The Micro  
Cook setting is recommended for batters, doughs,  
frozen foods and foods which are difficult to cook  
precisely with the probe.  
NOTE: Oven automatically switches to ‘‘Hold’’  
when preset food temperature is reached.  
The Temperature Probe  
The temperature probe is a food thermometer that  
gauges the internal temperature of your food. Use  
the probe when you want to Convection Cook  
or Combination Cook to a preferred internal  
temperature. (Its appearance may vary from picture  
shown.) The probe must be used when using Temp  
Cook/Hold or Combination Roast. To use the probe  
properly, follow directions in the Combination  
Roasting section.

temperature for up to one hour.  
Step 4: Touch POWER LEVEL pad. Touch 5 for  
medium power.  
Step 7: Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad to stop the cycle.  
Step 8: Remove probe and food from the oven.  
Cooking Tips  
• Use a lower power level; foods will heat more  
evenly though requiring more time.  
• Cover foods loosely for moisture control and quick,  
even heating.  
• Be sure frozen food has been completely defrosted  
before inserting probe. Probe may break off if used  
in frozen foods.  
• Insert the probe horizontally into the center meaty  
area not touching bone or fat. Make sure the handle  
does not touch the food or top or sides of the oven.  
Questions and Answers  
Q. Why did ‘‘PRObE’’ flash on the display?  
Q. Can I leave my probe in the oven if it’s not  
inserted in food?  
A. ‘‘PRObE’’ will flash if you don’t seat the  
cable end of the probe securely into the receptacle  
in the oven wall or if you touch the TEMP  
COOK/HOLD pad and forget to use the probe.  
A. No, if it touches the oven wall, it may damage  
the oven.

and oven beeps every minute until door is opened or  
CLEAR/OFF pad is touched.  
Stand Time  
Conversion Guide  
After Auto Defrosting, meat needs to stand in order to  
let the inside defrost. You may take the food out of the  
oven if you wish. Stand time recommendations are  
given in the Auto Defrost Guide.

CONTAINERS AND COVERS  
Containers and Covers  
Appropriate containers and coverings help assure  
good cooking results.  
• Match the amount of food to the size of the  
container. Fill containers at least half full for  
best results.  
• Always use microwave-safe containers and cover  
them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Wonder if  
it’s microwave-safe? Put it to the test described in  
the Microwaving Tips section.  
• 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 turning  
into steam can mislead the sensor.  
• Never use tight-sealing plastic covers—they  
can prevent steam from escaping and cause food  
to overcook.  
• Stir or rotate some foods after a beeping signal,  
if required. See the Sensor Cooking Control  
Guide section.  
SENSOR COOKING CONTROL GUIDE  
• Do not open oven door during cycle. When oven  
signals and countdown time is displayed, door may  
be opened for stirring, turning or rotating food. To  
resume cooking, close door and touch START.  
• Be sure outside of container and inside of oven  
are dry.  
• After completion of Sensor Cook cycle, if food  
needs additional cooking, return food to oven and  
use Micro Cook to finish cooking.  
• Match the amount of food to the size of container.  
Fill containers at least 1/2 full.

Cookware and Accessories section.  
used to raise the temperature of the air inside the  
oven. A fan gently circulates this heated air  
throughout the oven, over and around the food,  
producing golden brown exteriors and rich, moist  
interiors. Because the heated air is kept constantly  
moving, not permitting a layer of cooler air to  
develop around the food, some foods cook faster  
than in regular oven cooking.  
For best results  
1. Place the shelf on the oven floor.  
2. Allow at least one inch between the pan and the walls of  
the oven.  
3. When converting your favorite recipe from regular oven  
cooking to convection, lower the oven temperature 25 to  
35 degrees and check at minimum time.  
How to Convection Preheat and Time Cook  
Step 1: Touch Convection COOK pad.  
Step 4: Open the oven door and place the food in  
the oven.  
Step 5: Close the oven door. Set the desired cooking  
time in hours and minutes by touching number pads in  
sequence beginning with hours. For example, to set 2  
hours and 30 minutes, touch number pads 2, 3, and 0  
in that order. To enter time less than one hour, for  
example, 30 minutes, touch 0, 3 and 0.

CONVECTION TEMPERATURE COOKING  
You can also convection cook with the temperature probe, to assure  
that foods are cooked precisely to the degree of doneness desired,  
while the constantly circulating hot air assures even cooking and  
delicious browning. The temperature probe monitors the internal  
temperature of the food and turns the oven off automatically when  
the desired temperature is reached.  
For best results  
1. Place the shelf on the oven floor.  
2. Allow at least one inch between the pan and the walls of  
the oven.  
3. When converting your favorite recipe from regular oven  
cooking to convection, lower the oven temperature 25 to

Questions and Answers  
Q. After I preheated my oven, I tried to set  
cooking time, but nothing happened. What is  
the problem?  
Q. Can I store the probe in the oven when it is  
not in use?  
A. Leaving the probe in the oven is not recommended.  
If you forget and leave it in during cooking,  
without having inserted it in food, damage to  
the probe or to the oven may result.  
A. Until you open the oven door or touch the  
CLEAR/OFF pad, the oven remains in the preheat  
mode and no further instructions can be entered.  
After 1 hour oven automatically turns off.  
Q. Can I check during the cooking cycle to be sure  
that I have set the correct oven temperature?  
A. Yes. If you touch the Convection COOK pad at  
any time during cooking, the selected oven  
temperature is displayed on the display.

COMBINATION TIME COOKING  
Combination cooking offers the best features of microwave energy  
and convection cooking. Microwaves cook food fast and convection  
circulation of heated air browns foods beautifully.

COMBINATION TEMPERATURE COOKING  
With this function of your new oven, you can enjoy the benefits of  
combination cooking with the precision of the temperature probe. The  
probe makes it simple to cook to the exact degree of doneness desired,  
by monitoring the internal temperature of the food. This function is  
exactly like combination time cooking except you set internal food  
temperature desired instead of cooking time.  
For best results  
1. Place the shelf on the oven floor.  
2. Allow at least one inch between the pan and the walls of the oven.  
3. When converting your favorite recipe from regular oven cooking  
to combination temperature cooking, lower the oven temperature  
25 to 35 degrees and check at minimum time.

Questions and Answers  
Q. When I cook poultry, the thin, small areas like  
legs and wings often overcook before the rest of  
the bird is thoroughly cooked. How can I  
prevent this?  
Q. Meats often take longer than indicated in the  
guides to reach the desired internal  
temperature. Why?  
A. If the meat is recently defrosted and still very cold  
or icy inside, it will require a longer cooking time  
than meat which has been merely refrigerated.  
Times shown in the guides are usually for meats  
that are refrigerator temperature.  
A. Thin, uneven portions of poultry may be shielded  
with aluminum foil during cooking. Do not allow  
foil to touch shelf or oven sides, arcing may occur.  
Q. Usually my temperature probe gives very  
accurate results, but this time it didn’t. What  
happened?  
Q. Do most meats require standing time after  
cooking with Combination Roast?  
A. If the temperature probe is positioned touching fat  
or bone, an inaccurate reading may result. Be sure  
to place the probe in solid muscle, usually the  
thickest, meatiest part of the roast or poultry, or in  
the center of a meat loaf or casserole.  
A. You may want to let meats stand briefly, to allow  
easier carving and serving. Most meat roasts  
continue to cook for a few minutes after removing  
from the oven.

CARE AND CLEANING  
Keep your oven clean and sweet-  
smelling. Opening the oven door  
a few minutes after cooking helps  
air out the inside. An occasional  
thorough wiping with a solution  
of baking soda and water keeps  
the inside fresh.  
Don’t use sharp-edged utensils  
on your oven. The inside and  
outside oven walls can be  
scratched. The control panel  
can be damaged.  
BE CERTAIN POWER IS OFF
