With your new oven, you have several cooking options. In addition to

microwave or convection cooking, you have combination cooking which

uses both methods. Also automatic microwave cooking (Auto Cook)

and automatic microwave defrosting (Auto Defrost), and automatic

combination temperature cooking (Auto Roast). Or you may make

your own 2 stage programs to suit your individualized cooking needs.

CAN DO

Cooking with your new oven offers a wide variety

The Automatic Cooking Control (AUTO COOK)

feature does your microwave cooking for you. It’s

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 cooking utensil or the interior

of the oven. Reheating is easy and defrosting is

particularly convenient because less time is spent

in food preparation.

AUTO ROAST is a combination cooking function

that uses the temperature probe. You simply select

from 8 Auto Roast codes, and the oven automatically

adjusts power level, oven temperature and internal

food temperature to cook the food the way you want it.

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.

AUTO DEFROST automatically sets the defrosting

time and power levels for you. You choose the

appropriate code number from 1 to 3 from the food

you are defrosting, then 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.

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 Auto Start Timer lets you program the oven to start

cooking at a desired time, even if you’re not at home.

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.

The following guide shows at a glance the difference

between microwave, convection and combination

cooking.

Questions and Answers

Q. I touched the number pads to enter cooking

time but nothing happened. Why?

Q. I set my oven to Microwave COOK by time for

the period in the recipe, but the food wasn’t

done at the end of that time. What happened?

A. The Microwave Cook pad must be touched before

setting the number pads or the oven will not accept

the number entries.

A. Since house electrical power may vary, many

microwave time cooking recipes give you a time

range to prevent overcooking. Set the oven for the

minimum time, test the food for doneness, and

cook a little longer if necessary.

TEMPERATURE

Temperature cooking uses a special food

thermometer to measure the internal temperature

of food as it cooks. For many foods this is the

best test of doneness. Heating or reheating foods

accurately to the desired serving temperature

is easy.

Temperature cooking takes the guesswork out of

cooking because the oven automatically switches to

Hold after reaching the preset food temperature and

maintains that temperature until you touch the

pad.

The Temperature Probe

The temperature probe is a food thermometer that

gauges the internal temperature of your food. (Its

appearance may vary from picture at right.) The

probe must be used when using Microwave

Temperature Cooking, Convection Temperature

Cooking, Combination Temperature Cooking and

Combination Auto Roast. To use your probe properly,

follow directions on the next page.

inserted in the food?

A. Yes. Delicate butter icings, ice cream, frozen

whipped toppings, etc., soften rapidly at warm

temperatures. Batters and doughs as well are

difficult to cook precisely with the probe. It is best

to time cook these foods. Do not use for frozen

foods because probe could be damaged.

A. No. If the probe is touching the oven wall, and is

not inserted into food, you may damage the oven.

During convection cooking, a heating element is 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.

Accessories section.

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. When I tried to program my oven for

combination Auto Roast, it beeped and

flashed “Prob.” What did I do wrong?

A. Auto Roast cannot be programmed without the

temperature probe connected to the oven wall

receptacle. To eliminate the “PROB” display

and continue programming the oven, just

securely insert the probe into the receptacle.

A. Thin, uneven portions of poultry maybe 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. When I touched the START pad the display

showed “180” instead of the food temperature.

Why?

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. If the temperature of the food is lower than

the display will indicate “180” until actual food

temperature reaches

Then the display will

show the internal food temperature as it continues

to rise.

Q. Meats often take longer than indicated in

the guides to reach the desired internal

temperature. Why?

Q. Do most meats require standing time after

cooking with combination Auto Roast?

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. 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. Check the Cookbook for specific

instructions.

For broiling time and procedures, refer to guide in Cookbook.

Broiling is cooking food by intense heat from the

upper unit in the oven. Most fish and tender cuts

of meat can be broiled. Follow these steps to keep

spattering and smoking to a minimum.

Step 2: Insert spatter shield onto drip pan. Always

use spatter shield so fat drips into drip pan; otherwise

juices may become hot enough to catch fire. You can

use

foil to line your drip pan and spatter

shield. However, you must mold the foil tightly to

the spatter shield and cut slits in it just like the spatter

shield. Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and

meat juices from draining to the drip pan. The juices

could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do

not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.

Step 1: If meat has fat or gristle near edge, cut

vertical slashes through both about 2 inches apart.

If desired, fat maybe trimmed, leaving layer about

1/8 inch thick.

from overheated drippings.

Q. Why are my meats not

turning out as brown as they

should?

Q. When broiling, is it necessary

to always use the spatter

shield in the pan?

A. In some areas, the power

(voltage) to the oven maybe

low. In these cases, preheat the

broil unit for 10 minutes before

placing broiler pan assembly

with food in oven. Turn food

only once during broiling.

A. Yes. Using the spatter shield

suspends the meat over the pan.

As the meat cooks, the juices

fall into the pan, thus keeping

meat drier. Juices are protected

by the shield and stay cooler,

thus preventing excessive

spatter and smoking.
