MICROWAVE OVEN USE

A magnetron in the microwave 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.

■ Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in

microwave oven.

■ Clothes, ﬂowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, and paper,

including brown paper bags and newspaper, should not

be dried in the 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, requiring

signiﬁcant cleanup of microwave oven cavity. 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 tails. See the “Aluminum Foil and Metal”

section 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.

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

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.

■ 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.

Cooking in Stages

The microwave oven can be set to cook at different cooking

powers for various lengths of time, up to 2 stages, which may

include a defrosting stage. See the “Defrost” section to set the

defrosting stage.

NOTE: If a defrosting stage is programmed, it will cycle ﬁrst.

To Cook in Stages:

1. Place food on the turntable and close the door.

2. Touch COOK TIME.

“00:00” will appear in the display. Enter the length of time

to cook during the ﬁrst stage.

3. Touch POWER LEVEL, then enter the desired cooking

power for the ﬁrst stage. See the “Microwave Cooking

the end-of-cycle tones will sound.

6. Touch STOP CANCEL or open the door to clear the display.

Cook time may be added in 30-second increments during the

cycling stage by touching START ADD 30 SEC.

Sensor Cooking

A sensor in the microwave oven detects humidity released from

the food as it heats and adjusts the cook time accordingly.

Many sensor cycles require the covering of foods. Microwave-

safe containers or steamers with loose-ﬁtting lids are

recommended. The loose-ﬁtting lid allows enough steam to

escape to be detected by the sensor. When covering foods

with plastic wrap, be sure to leave a large enough vent opening

to allow the steam to escape.

“SC” (sensor cook) will appear in the display during

sensor cooking.

NOTES:

■ The microwave oven should be plugged in for at least

3 minutes.

■ The microwave oven cavity and the exterior of the cooking

container should be dry.

■ The room temperature should not exceed 95°F (35°C).

■ If the door is opened while the sensor is detecting moisture

(while “SC” appears in the display), sensing will stop and the

program will be canceled.

Menu (sensor and non-sensor)

The following menu items are preprogrammed for quick and easy cooking/reheating.

For added convenience, the available/recommended amounts shown in the following chart are included on the Cooking Guide label

(see the “Parts and Features” section for its location).

Grill

The Grill function uses a calrod thermal element that heats

quickly to grill a variety of foods.

■ Use the grill rack to place food closer to the grill element for

faster grilling.

■ Oven cavity and door will become very hot during grill

element use. The use of oven mitts is recommended.

■ Use an ovenproof pan to catch drippings.

■ The grill rack and pan will become very hot. Use oven mitts

to grasp pan for removal. To avoid damage, do not place hot

pan directly on heat-sensitive surfaces.

■ The turntable must be in place when using the grill rack.

■ For best results, apply light amount of cooking oil to

grill rack.

Examples of Grill Times

Toast 5-5

min

Sirloin steak, 1 lb (454 g),

" (1.9 cm) thick,

medium doneness

Convection

The convection system circulates hot air through the microwave

oven cavity with a fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the

food to heat the outer portion quickly.

Convection Bake uses the convection system only.

Convection Roast uses the convection system in conjunction

with microwaves to cook more quickly.

■ The microwave oven cavity and door will become hot

during the convection cycle. The use of oven mitts

is recommended.

■ Use the provided convection (short) rack.

■ Do not cover turntable or convection rack with aluminum foil

as it interferes with the circulation of hot air.

■ Do not use light plastic containers, plastic wrap, or paper

products. All ovenproof cookware or metal utensils can be

used with the Convection Bake function. (Round pizza pans

are excellent cooking utensils for many convection-only

items.) Metal utensils cannot be used with the Convection

Roast function.

■ No special techniques are needed to adapt standard oven

recipes to convection cooking, although some temperatures

might need to be reduced and some cooking times might

need to be shortened.

Convection Temperature Indicator

The 10 bars in the bottom of the display represent the

microwave oven’s current and approaching temperature. Each

bar corresponds to the temperature represented on each of the

number keypads, 1 through 0 (10).

The bar corresponding to the desired set temperature will

ﬂash. As the microwave oven heats, each bar will light as its

corresponding temperature is reached. When the desired

temperature is reached, the ﬂashing bar will become solid.

If the temperature of the microwave oven drops below the

set temperature, the bar will ﬂash until the microwave oven

heats to the set temperature again.

For example, if the desired temperature is set at 375ºF (191°C)

(number “8” keypad), the eighth bar will ﬂash. When the

microwave oven reaches 100ºF (38°C), the ﬁrst bar will light.

When the microwave oven reaches 170ºF (77°C), the second bar

will light, and so on, until the desired temperature is reached,

and the eighth bar stops ﬂashing and becomes solid.

Convection Roast

The Convection Roast function shortens the cooking time for

foods that normally require long periods of time to cook. It

alternates between convection heat and microwave energy.

Combination cooking also leaves meats juicy on the inside and

crispy on the outside.

■ The microwave oven cavity and door will become hot

during the Convection Roast cycle. The use of oven mitts

is recommended.

■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not use metal

cookware or utensils during the Convection Roast cycle. Use

only ovenproof, microwave-safe cookware.

■ Meats may be roasted directly on the convection rack. Use

an ovenproof, microwave-safe pan to catch the drippings.

■ Less tender cuts of beef can be roasted and tenderized

using oven cooking bags.

■ Check for doneness after cooking time has ended. If not

completely done, let stand in microwave oven for a few

minutes to complete cooking.

IMPORTANTES INSTRUCTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ

CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS

■ Les liquides tels que lʼeau, le café ou le thé peuvent

trop chauffer - au-delà du point dʼébullition - sans

sembler bouillir. Il nʼy a pas toujours des bulles ou une

ébullition lorsquʼon retire le récipient du four à micro-

ondes. À CAUSE DE CECI, DES LIQUIDES TRÈS

CHAUDS POURRAIENT DÉBORDER LORSQUʼON

BOUGE LE RÉCIPIENT OU QUE LʼON UTILISE UNE

CUILLÈRE OU UN AUTRE USTENSILE POUR LE

REMUER. 

Pour réduire le risque de blessures corporelles :

– Ne pas trop faire chauffer le liquide.

– Remuer le liquide avant et pendant le chauffage.

– Ne pas utiliser de récipients à parois droites avec des

ouvertures étroites.

– Une fois chaud, laisser le récipient dans le four à

micro-ondes un moment avant de le retirer.

un autre ustensile dans le récipient.

■ Ne pas faire le montage au-dessus dʼun évier. 

■ Veiller à ne rien remiser directement sur le four lorsquʼil est en

service.

■ Les aliments trop volumineux ou des ustensiles en métal de

grande taille ne doivent pas être insérés dans le four à

micro-ondes car ils peuvent créer un incendie ou un risque de

choc électrique.

■ Ne pas nettoyer avec des tampons métalliques à récurer. Des

pièces peuvent se détacher du tampon en brûlant et venir en

contact avec des pièces électriques qui pourraient causer un

risque de choc électrique.

■ Ne pas utiliser de produits en papier lorsque lʼon fait

fonctionner lʼappareil au mode de convection, en combiné, ou

mode de gril ou “PAN BROWN” (brunissage à la poêle).

■ Ne pas remiser des matériaux autres que les accessoires

recommandés par le fabricant dans ce four lorsquʼil nʼest pas

utilisé.

■ Ne pas couvrir les grilles ou autre partie du four avec du papier

métallique. Cette action causera un surchauffage du four.

INSTRUCTIONS DE LIAISON

À LA TERRE

CONSERVEZ CES

INSTRUCTIONS

■

Pour tout appareil ménager connecté par un cordon

de courant électrique :

Il faut que le four à micro-ondes soit relié à la terre. En

cas de court-circuit électrique, la liaison à la terre réduit le

risque de choc électrique car le courant électrique

dispose d’un itinéraire direct d’acheminement à la terre.

Le four à micro-ondes est doté d’un cordon de courant

électrique qui comporte un fil de liaison à la terre, avec

broche de liaison à la terre. On doit brancher la fiche sur

une prise de courant convenablement installée et reliée à

la terre.

AVERTISSEMENT : L’utilisation incorrecte du

dispositif de liaison à la terre peut susciter un risque de choc

électrique. L’utilisateur qui ne comprend pas bien les

instructions de liaison à la terre, ou qui n’est pas certain que

le four à micro-ondes soit convenablement relié à la terre,

devrait consulter un électricien ou un technicien qualifié.

Ne pas utiliser un câble de rallonge. Si le cordon de

courant électrique est trop court, demander à un électricien

ou un technicien qualifié d’installer une prise de courant à

proximité du four à micro-ondes. Le cordon d'alimentation

fourni est court pour réduire le risque de s'empêtrer ou de

trébucher.
