Your oven uses microwave energy to cook by a set time or weight, or automatically by sensor. Sensor microwave works by detecting the increasing humidity released during cooking. The oven automatically adjusts the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.
Cooking Method
Microwave energy is distributed evenly throughout the oven for thorough, fast cooking of food.
Heat Source
Microwave energy.
Heat Conduction
Heat produced within food by instant energy penetration.
Do not use the racks when microwave cooking.
Benefits
Fast, high efficiency cooking. Oven and surroundings do not get hot. Easy clean-up.
The tray and tray support must be used during all cooking.
During convection cooking, a heating element raises the air temperature inside the oven. You can set Convection Bake from 170F to 425F, and Convection Roast from 170F to 375F. A fan gently circulates the heated air around the food and produces 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.
Cooking Method
Hot air circulates around food to produce browned exteriors and seal in juices.
Heat Source
Circulating heated air.
Heat Conduction
Heat conducted from outside of food to inside.
Always use the racks when convection cooking.
Benefits
Aids in browning and seals in flavor. Cooks some foods faster than regular ovens.
The tray and tray support must be used during all cooking.
Your 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.
Cooking Method
Microwave energy and convection heat combine to cook foods in up to one-half the time of regular ovens, while browning and sealing in juices.
Heat Source
Microwave energy and circulating heated air.
Heat Conduction
Food heats from instant energy from penetration and heat conducted from outside of food.
Always use the provided racks when combination cooking. Do not use any other metal while cooking.
Benefits
Shortened cooking time from microwave energy, plus browning and crisping from convection heat.
The tray and tray support must be used during all cooking.
Broil and uses the upper heater elements to broil food similar to a conventional oven.
Cooking Method
Warm air circulates around food to keep previously cooked food warm.
Heat Source
Circulating heated air (Convection).
Heat Conduction
Warmth conducted from outside of food to inside.
Always use the tall rack when broiling.
Benefits
Keeps hot, cooked foods at serving temperature.
NOTE: Do not use regular cooking or oven thermometers when cooking by microwave or convection roast (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 microwaving unless the thermometer is designed or recommended for use in the microwave oven.
Allows you to microwave for any time up to 99 minutes and 99 seconds.
Power level 10 (High) is automatically set, but you may change it for more flexibility.
You may open the door during Cook Time to check the food. Close the door and press START/PAUSE to resume cooking.
It will add 30 seconds to the time counting down each time the pad is pressed. Each touch will add 30 seconds, up to 99 minutes and 99 seconds.
The oven will start immediately when pressed.
The power level may be entered or changed before entering the time for Cook Time.
Variable power levels add flexibility to microwave cooking. The power levels on the microwave oven can be compared to the surface units on a range. 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. Most cooking will be done on HI which gives you 100% power. HI power level will cook faster but food may need more frequent stirring, rotating or turning over. A lower setting will cook more evenly and need less stirring or rotating of the food. Some foods may have better flavor, texture or appearance if one of the lower settings is used. Use a lower power level when cooking foods that have a tendency to boil over, such as scalloped potatoes.
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.
Here are some examples of uses for various power levels:
HI: Fish, bacon, vegetables, boiling liquids.
Med-High 7: Gentle cooking of meat and poultry; baking casseroles and reheating.
Medium 5: Slow cooking and tenderizing for stews and less tender cuts of meat.
Low 2 or 3: Defrosting; simmering; delicate sauces.
Warm 1: Keeping food warm; softening butter.
Press pad to set clock.
Factory setting is a 12 hour clock display.

Broil
To use the Broil feature:
Metal Pans are recommended for all types of baked products, but especially where browning or crusting is important.
Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and pies because they absorb heat and produce crisper crust.
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.
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 oven shelf, damaging the cookware, the shelf or the oven.
Heat-Resistant Plastic microwave cookware (safe to 450°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.

Term | Definition |
Arcing | Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:
|
Covering | Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce cooking time. Venting plastic wrap or covering with wax paper allows excess steam to escape. |
Shielding | In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to prevent over-browning. When microwaving, you use small strips of foil to shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs on poultry, which would cook before larger parts. |
Standing Time | When you cook with regular ovens, foods such as roasts or cakes are allowed to stand to finish cooking or to set. Standing time is especially important in microwave cooking. Note that a microwaved cake is not placed on a cooling rack. |
Venting | After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner so excess steam can escape. |
An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking soda and water keeps the inside fresh.
Be certain the oven control is turned off before cleaning any part of this oven.
Walls, Floor, Inside Window, Metal and Plastic Parts on the Door
